• Covenant College junior outfielder David Lockwood from Conyers, Ga., and sophomore pitcher Micah Mabe from Cumming, Ga., made the Rawlings NCAA Division III All-South Region third team as selected by the American Baseball Coaches Association. Lockwood batted .349 with two home runs, five triples, 14 doubles, 40 runs scored and 37 driven in for the Scots (28-19) this past season, and he had a 16-game hitting streak. He went 8-for-17 in the National Christian College Athletic Association's loaded Mid-East Regional, helping Covenant go to the NCCAA World Series for the first time. Mabe, a second-team NCCAA All-American, was 7-3 with a 2.43 earned run average in 12 starts, and he struck out 69 batters while walking only 16 in 74 innings. The left-hander set a Scots modern-era record with 13 strikeouts in one game.

• Recent Ridgeland High School graduate Xavier McLin has signed enrollment papers to continue his basketball career at Georgia Northwestern Technical College. The 6-foot-2 wing player, also a track and field standout, averaged just over 10 points a game for the basketball Panthers, according to a GNTC release, but missed part of his senior year with a hand injury. "We thought we may lose him for the season, but he fought his way back and was ready to play by our region tournament," Ridgeland coach David Stoker said. "He's a great kid with great potential. ... He got most of his points this year when he found his stride and really started taking the basketball to the rim." Said GNTC coach David Stephenson: "This is an excellent signing to begin closing out this year's recruitment. Xavier is a solid person, with great character that he takes the length of the court for the length of the game."
