Austin Trotman
(Mount Tabor '07) continued his outstanding senior wrestling season at Appalachian State and reached a major milestone Monday in dual matches against Cleveland State and Campbell.
Trotman, wrestling at 184 pounds, pinned Cleveland State's Corbin Boone in 20 seconds in his first match, and then registered an 18-3 technical fall against Campbell's TeShaun Johnson for his 114th career victory, tying the school record.
He will have a chance to set the record Saturday, when ASU wrestles at the Lone Star Duals in Grand Prairie.
Trotman has a 23-3 record this season and is No. 9 in the nation at 184 pounds in the InterMat Wrestling rankings.
Oglesby sets record
Sophomore Gabby Oglesby (Mount Tabor '10) of Guilford College had a school-record seven blocks in a 90-75 victory against Randolph-Macon College on Jan. 6. Oglesby, a 5-foot-11 forward, also had a career-high 26 points and 10 rebounds in the win.
Oglesby leads the Old Dominion Athletic Conference in blocked shots (two bpg) and is third in scoring (a team-high 15.5 ppg). She is also among the ODAC leaders in rebounds (eighth, at 7.5 rpg) and field-goal percentage (third, at 55.5).
Yohn a bright spot
Callie Yohn (North Forsyth '11) has quickly become a mainstay of the women's basketball team at Peace. A 6-foot freshman, Yohn had a school-record seven blocked shots in just her fifth game, a 79-65 loss at N.C. Wesleyan on Nov. 30.
Yohn had perhaps her best game in Peace's only win of the season — 71-58 against Salem on Dec. 7 — when she finished with 18 points, 20 rebounds (one off the school record) and five blocks.
Beroth makes impact
Alana Beroth (Reagan '10) has hit the ground running for the Georgia State basketball team.
Beroth transferred from ECU. She became eligible to play for the Panthers after the first semester ended and, in her second game, came off the bench for 10 points and six rebounds in a 79-68 victory against High Point.
Beroth, a 6-3 center, has averaged 5.9 points in her first seven games (three starts) and is second on the team in rebounding (4.1 rpg).
Barber has big night in Orange Bowl
Linebacker Jared Barber (Davie County '11) had the best game of his freshman season and helped West Virginia rout Clemson 70-33 in the Orange Bowl on Jan 4. Barber started and made six tackles (tied for second on the team), including one for a loss.
