Ochoa trying to live up to great expectations **The world’s top woman player has won twice this year, but she expects more of herself as she strives to remain No. 1.

Lorena Ochoa looks so young that she could pass for a teenager. Not an ordinary one, of course, because not many teenagers can afford to walk around wearing an expensive diamond ring, chain and earrings. But Ochoa has earned the finer things in life. She has was a star golfer in…

Tour veteran Jones making rare appearance **The retired 49-year-old wants to raise awareness of fact that there is no Women’s Senior Open.

Since retiring from the LPGA Tour in 2006 with more than $8 million in career earnings, Rosie Jones has been content to walk around her home with “hammer and nails” to fix things or build bird houses. Often she cooks Mexican food, a specialty, or grills ribs, one of her…

After an eventful year, this Street is on the map ** Liberty receiver, an unknown as a junior, earns a scholarship and championships as a senior.

Liberty’s Latimer out to prove he belongs with best **The all-area linebacker was not all-state or heavily recruited, but he’s in the Big 33 game.

You do not need to be an all-state player or get a scholarship to a big-name college to get selected to play in the Big 33 Football Classic. Liberty linebacker Horvin Latimer is proof of that. But he was an easy sell to the Pennsylvania coaches, who believe Latimer is capable of…

Locals stars out to win Big 33 game **Liberty’s Horvin Latimer and Devin Street, Freedom’s Jermel Lee to lead state against Ohio.

Freedom’s Jermel Lee rolled over, smacked the floor and said to Liberty’s Devin Street, “I’m going home.” Street had just remarked how Liberty beat Freedom twice last season, including 28-14 in the District 11 Class 4A final en route to winning the PIAA Class 4A Championship. “I…

Wilson’s Davidson leads the way **The Morning Call boys track athlete of year is first to run sub 48-second 400.

One race on tired legs that Wilson senior Anthony Davidson lost by a slim margin did little to detract from the astounding two-week period he had running the 400-meter dash. No Lehigh Valley sprinter had ever run under 48 seconds in the 400 — and Davidson did it three times over…

Multiple medalists are possible **Davidson, Brandon, Troxell and others could lead way at two-day meet at Whitehall.

It’s time to run fast, throw far, jump and vault high. It’s time to be better than just good. It’s time to win a District 11 track and field medal, preferably gold. Sprinters Anthony Davidson of Wilson and Bethlehem Catholic’s Tevrin Brandon are confident they’ll achieve their…

FLYING HIGH **The Parkland boys track team has dominated with 81 straight dual-meet triumphs and 10 straight league titles.

Combine the number of athletes on the Bethlehem Catholic, Liberty and Freedom track and field teams and it still wouldn’t equal the size of Parkland’s team. The Trojans have 368 male and female participants, a program record. It sometimes makes the Parkland squad look like a…

Saucon’s Lombardo takes four gold medals **Allison Vanek of Wilson breaks school and meet record in the pole vault.

Make no mistake, Saucon Valley’s Alyssa Lombardo is young. Just not as young as she was listed in the program for the Colonial League Track and Field Championships on Thursday at Bangor Memorial Park. “They have me listed as a freshman” Lombardo said in a calm and composed…

Henninger, Hightower, Gillette sparkle **Seniors, from Whitehall, Easton and Parkland respectively, win gold.

Whitehall’s Doug Henninger won with strength and Easton’s David Hightower won with speed and crisp hurdling. Then, there was Parkland’s Matt Gillette, who used long strides and a solid finishing kick to anchor the Trojans to victory in the 3,200-meter relay before closing out…
