The ol’ Legion try Staff photo sequence by Mark Gilchrist Whiteville Post 137 centerfelder Jesse Simmons nearly comes up with a brilliant catch of a line drive during the third inning of Thursday’s Area 2 championship series game with Wilmington Post 10 at Legion Stadium. At far left, Simmons’ cap fies as he closes in on the ball at full speed. In second frame, he gloves the ball before it hits the ground and then tumbles hard to the turf while the ball is separated from the glove (third frame). He tries to regain the ball (fourth frame) as rightfelder Clint Allen runs in on the play. In the fnal frame, Simmons turns toward homeplate to watch a Post 10 run score while Allen picks up the ball. Simmons later delivered a key double in the eighth inning that helped Post 137 gain a 5-3 win for the Area 2 championship.
