The main storyline for the 2010 Northwest 1A/2A soccer season is Surry Cen- tral’s quest to build on the momentum created by its most successful season ever. The Golden Eagles made a visit to the regional finals a year ago and, with the majority of coach Blake Roth’s team returning, look poised to make another shot at a deep playoff run. Central knocked off the usual ruler of the North- west Conference in Bishop McGuinness and avoided facing former conference foe Forbush in the 2A playoffs only to fall to Shelby on penalty kicks a game away from the state title game. This season McGuin- ness should again provide the biggest challenge for Central, while the remain- der of the Surry County teams will look to improve on varying levels of success in 2009. Mount Airy returns a good portion of its team, headed by seniors Chase Pilcher, Caleb Bentley, Ed- die Garcia, Jesus Carreon and Wes Bledsoe. Exit a large group of Leonardo Bernardo will again wreak havoc on the soccer fields for Surry Central this season seniors who had been important players for several ter a nine-man freshman Coach Eric Leathers vated to improve after last pointing 9-10-4 finish. years for the Bears and en- class. said his team seems moti- year’s somewhat disap- “Our seniors really want See CENTRAL, page 2B Panthers QBs confident despite lack of points SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — Matt Moore looked poised despite getting knocked around. Jimmy Clausen gained confidence in his NFL debut despite constant pressure. Now if Carolina’s quarterbacks could just get some protection and put the Panthers in the end zone. The first game in the post-Jake Delhomme era provided a mixed bag for the new crew of arms on Thursday night. Moore was hit, fumbled and the victim of penalties, while Clausen had little time to throw and had a drive end with a turnover at the goal line. Third-stringer Hunter Cantwell was hurt by dropped passes and protection trouble, too, in Baltimore’s 17-12 victory that produced no offensive touchdowns for Caroli- na. “I think all three quarterbacks did a good job — when they had time to pass,” coach John Fox said.

CHAPEL HILL — On any snap, Deunta Williams has good reason to feel op- timistic North Carolina’s defense will make a big play. On one side is a corner- back who could be a second-round NFL draft pick next year. In front of him are a pair of linebackers who could go even higher. And in front of that duo are two linemen projected as likely first-rounders. It’s a defense that has a chance to special, one of those rare elite units. The squad ranked among the nation’s best last year and has carried the load for the Tar Heels as coach Butch Davis enters his fourth season at North Carolina. The Tar Heels aren’t trying to temper expectations of perfection and frequent shutouts. “It’s not unrealistic and we shouldn’t think that’s it unrealistic,” said Williams, a safety also projected as a high draft pick. “With our defense, I’ve got to believe that anything is possible.” How much success UNC’s defense has could depend on the NCAA investigation into whether defensive tackle Marvin Austin received improper benefits from agents. Yet even if Austin is sidelined, the Tar Heels still can be among the Atlantic Coast Conference’s top units. Austin, Williams, linebackers Bruce Carter and Quan Sturdivant, and cor- nerback Kendric Burney all decided in January to return for their senior seasons instead of heading to the ROBERT WILLETT/RALEIGH NEWS & OBSERVER/MCT NFL. Meanwhile, junior North Carolina’s Deunta Williams (27) returns an interception against Boston College in the fourth quarter of their contest last season Robert Quinn (11 sacks in which UNC won 31-13. 2009) could be the top draft prospect of them all as a of them to be a better foot- Brian Cushing and Clay Burney as a possible sec- front four, that’s when that nearly 9 minutes and set up potentially elite pass rush- ball player.” Matthews to headline eight ond-round pick.

Sunday, August 15, 2010 Shaw has become ‘face’ of Mount Airy to visitors

WENDY BYERLY WOOD ASSOCIATE EDITOR

rior to becoming one of the “faces” Pof tourism to visitors of Mount Airy, Fawn Shaw was much like other local residents who took for granted what was right at her fingertips. Shaw, who serves as the only full-time visitor specialist for the Mount Airy Visitors Center, now knows more about her own hometown and has shared that information not only with visitors from around the globe, but also with her own children. “I’ve lived in Mount Airy all my life — 38 years,” Shaw said, noting that she’s worked at the visitors center, which is part of the Greater Mount Airy Chamber of Com- merce, for almost five years. The 1990 North Surry High School graduate spent a number of years working in area hosiery mills — at least six years at Kentucky Derby Hosiery and four years at Renfro — before layoffs took their toll. “I went back to school when my oldest child had started kindergarten.
