HAMILTON – As the Nottingham 12-year-old All-Stars began the traditional jog around the field with a District 12 banner, one player tripped over another, four or five guys went down in a heap and they had to regroup and start all over again.

It was shocking. Only because it was the one thing the Sayen Gang didn’t do flawlessly in the entire tournament.

After being off for five days due to rain, Nottingham breezed to the league’s third straight 12-year-old title — and 31st overall — with an impressive 11-3 win over Sunnybrae at Sunnybrae’s Ed Nevius Field. It was also the third straight consecutive district title for this particular group, which won it as 10s and 11s as well.

Which made their clumsy banner trot all the more surprising, since they’ve had so much experience in performing one.

“I don’t know, that was just all over the place,” said 11-year-old stud Austin Marshall, one of several offensive stars. “We didn’t know what to do.”

Marshall added with a wide grin, “I’ll take it. At least we got the W.”

In fact, the little guy is always smiling. On the field, in the dugout. After the game.

“A lot of people say that,” he said. . .with another grin.

The middle infielder had reason to smile after this one, as he went 2-for-3 with three RBI and a run scored. Marshall’s bunt squeezed home Brennan Talar in the second to put Nottingham up 2-0, and he helped bust it open for NLL in the fourth when his two-run single made it 5-0.

Asked if it was his idea to bunt, Marshall said, “My coach called it, but I trusted him so I did it.”

In the first two games Marshall distinguished himself with his glove. Offensively he was OK, going 1-for-5 with two RBI before his championship game outburst.

“It wasn’t going my way in the tournament,” he said. “But today it just felt really good working it and stuff.”

It isn’t much work for manager Adam Reymann to watch Marshall play.

“Unbelievable isn’t he?” Reymann said. “There’s nothing he can’t do. Watching him play is like poetry. He’s so smooth it’s amazing.”

Even more amazing is that Marshall felt no pressure playing up a year for the defending champs.

“Nah, I’m just happy to be here playing baseball with my buddies,” he said. “I was confident in myself.”

The entire Nottingham team looked pretty confident throughout the tournament, outscoring three foes 22-9 and out-hitting them 25-10. The biggest outburst came in the clincher as NLL bashed 14 hits and had a four-run fourth and five-run sixth to bust it open.

Nottingham also played another tremendous defensive game, with Matteo Pandolfini making a back-hand play and long throw from shortstop that few could believe. Pandolfini matched Sunnybrae leftfielder Blake Manning for play of the game, as Manning made a diving backhand grab to rob Pandolfini in the first inning.

“The defense is outstanding,” Reymann said. “We practice a lot. We know we’re not gonna usually score a ton of runs but we know our defense is gonna keep us in it.”

As is their pitching. Eli Spurlock won his second district game by allowing just one hit and two baserunners while fanning four in four scoreless innings. Nottingham could have gone with a well-rested Pandolfini, who no-hit Sunnybrae last Sunday, but had faith in Spurlock.

“They’re One and One A,” Reymann said. “Either one could go out and dominate. It was Spur’s turn. It was his game. It’s just always nice to have Matteo in your back pocket.

“Spur is always throwing strikes; he’s always around the plate. When he doesn’t have his best stuff you know you’re gonna get a solid game out of him. Today he had his best stuff. You always feel good having him up on the mound.”

Did he feel pressure pitching a game to decide the title?

“A little but I felt mostly confident,” he said. “I was just throwing strikes and letting the defense work. It helped a lot when we got that first run because I knew we would be able to hit too.”

That run came in the top of the first when Owen McWhorter singled and eventually scored on a wild pitch. The Sayen Gang continued to build a lead from there.

“We practice a lot of get ‘em on, get ‘em over, get ‘em in,” Reymann said. “We’re not a huge hitting team but today the bats were all over the place.”

Indeed they were, up and down the lineup. McWhorter had two hits, Owen Quirk a hit and run, Gennaro Salzano two hits and two runs, Spurlock a single, double, two runs and an RBI, Brennan Talar a hit, RBI and three runs, Ryan O’Donnell a hit, run and RBI, Jim Dymowski two hits and an RBI and Ryan O’Conner a hit and RBI.

Sunnybrae got its first run in 11 innings against Nottingham when Declan Sweeney hit just the second homer of the tournament in the fifth, and Owen DeMassey added a two-run double in the sixth.

But it wasn’t enough as Nottingham played like a team on a mission.

“We felt confident,” Spurlock said. “It felt like we would do it.”

It’s all going right for Nottingham as it prepares to host District 19 champion Lincroft in Friday’s Section 3 Tournament opener at 7 p.m.

“Right now it is, absolutely,” Reymann said. “It feels good.”

Nottingham is going for its first 12-year-old Section 3 title since 2012.

“We’re ready,” Reymann said.

“I feel like we can go far, we just have to be confident and work,” Spurlock said. “We showed what we can do.”

And besides, they would really like to redeem themselves with a better banner run.

Nottingham (3-0) 110 405 – 11 14 1

Sunnybrae (2-2) 000 012 – 3 5 1

Hundreds lined Dale Boulevard Friday for the 57th annual Dale City Independence Day parade.

The weather was sunny and slightly cooler than usual — barely 80 degrees — for the annual event. But crowds were a bit lighter than usual, and the parade drew fewer than 100 entrants, down from more than 120 a few years ago.

Parade participants included a mix of churches, youth sports clubs, civic organizations and  community clubs.

The late Diane Raulston, who represented the Neabsco District, which includes Dale City, on the Prince William County School Board from 2016 through 2023, was honored posthumously as the parade’s grand marshal. She died in April at age 77. Her daughter, Monique Raulston, represented her in the parade.

As always, the parade was organized by the Dale City Civic Association with help from 10 community organizations, including: the Montclair Lions Club; the Dale City VFW 1503, Woodbridge Elks Lodge 2355; the Dale City Knights of Columbus; the Disabled American Veterans; the Dale City Volunteer Fire Department; American Legion Post 364; the Dale City Moose Lodge 2185, The Dale City Masonic Lodge 319 and the Hylton Boys and Girls Club.

Cooper Flagg’s competitive drive a reminder of youth days working on a Maine farm

Years before signing a rookie contract with the Dallas Mavericks, netting him $13.8 million in the first year alone, Cooper Flagg had a more menial job.

Years before signing a rookie contract with the Dallas Mavericks, netting him $13.8 million in the first year alone, Cooper Flagg had a more menial job.

He was a pea picker on the Thunder Road Farm in Corinna, Maine.

Flagg was 11 years old when he, his fraternal twin brother Ace and his older brother Hunter were hired. The pay was $1 for every pound collected.

Like everything else the boys did, it turned into a competition.

“Cooper the pea picker was very competitive,” Kelly Flagg, the boys’ mother, told The Athletic. “He wanted to make more money than his brothers. They only picked for about three hours in the morning before it got too hot. He was very aggressive.”

The first week, Cooper cleared $100. Charlie and Barb Peavey, who own Thunder Road Farm, weren’t sure if they could afford him.

“A lot of kids come on the farm and think it’s going to be easy. They fool around and talk; Cooper never did that,” said Barb Peavey, whose son, Kellen, played basketball with the Flagg brothers when they were younger. “Cooper was very focused on what he was doing. … He put his nose to the grindstone. He picked and worked.”

Besides peas, the Peaveys grew strawberries, red potatoes, cucumbers, corn and pumpkins. Every summer, they hired between 15 and 20 youngsters from central Maine as crop pickers. Harvesting peas required Flagg to sit on a five-gallon bucket during his morning shift.

“It helps with your work ethic,” Cooper Flagg said. “It helps you teach early about having a job. It was always fun to make a little money and hang out with your friends.”

Now 18, Flagg is one of the most well-rounded prospects to enter the NBA in recent memory. The Mavericks landed a 6-foot-8 forward who can pass, shoot, dribble and defend. According to one catch-all metric, box plus/minus, Flagg, while at Duke, had the most impactful freshman season of any NCAA men’s basketball player in the past 15 years aside from Zion Williamson and Anthony Davis.

As much as Flagg’s numbers popped, his intangibles excited the Mavericks more than anything. Flagg badly wants to win — even at something as trivial as pea picking.

“When people talk about him, they don’t talk about basketball with him,” Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison said. “They talk about all the intangibles. When you have a player who’s that good and they talk about the intangibles, that’s a guy who’s going to add to your culture.”

Flagg did his first year of high school in Maine and then attended Montverde Academy, a prep school and basketball powerhouse in Florida, for two years. In August 2023, he reclassified so he could play college ball a year early. When he made that decision, he was following one of the Flagg family mantras: If you’re the best player in the gym, find a new gym.

Most nights, Flagg looked like the best player in the gym, even when he was the youngest player on the floor. On Jan. 11, three weeks after his 18th birthday, Flagg had 42 points, seven assists and six rebounds in Duke’s 86-78 win against Notre Dame. Throughout the 2024-25 season, the Blue Devils were one of the best teams in college basketball. They went 19-1 in Atlantic Coast Conference play and ultimately advanced to the NCAA Final Four.

Flagg has become a teenage millionaire; despite that status, he remains grounded. The week before the NBA Draft, he traveled to Dallas for a two-day visit. He made the trip alone. He didn’t need handlers or an entourage accompanying him. Flagg went through an on-court workout and then got two different steak dinners: one with members of the Mavericks’ front office and another with his future teammates.

“We’re very proud of him. We’re proud of the family,” Peavey said. “We’re proud that he’s stayed so humble and he’s just kept those Maine roots alive.”

In a June 27 news conference with Dallas local media, Mavericks coach Jason Kidd talked about deploying Flagg at lead guard and on the wing. Kidd sounded impressed with the way Flagg was handling the hoopla.

“Just sitting here listening to him, isn’t it incredible?” Kidd said. “We are talking about an 18-year-old who has all the right answers.”

Flagg will suit up for the Mavericks this week during NBA Summer League. Their first game is Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers.

This fall, Flagg will make his NBA debut. Around that same time, the Peaveys plan on opening their Thunder Road Farm corn maze to the public for the 21st consecutive year.

This year’s maze will be Cooper Flagg-themed. An aerial view will show the Newport, Maine, native dunking a basketball. Flagg’s nickname, “The Maine Event,” will be cut into the crops, as well.

 

Flagg has gone from pea picking to finding a place in the NBA as the No. 1 draft pick. His mother sees the same competitive person now as she did back then.

“I think it’s exactly who he is as a person,” Kelly said. “It doesn’t matter whether it’s pea picking or anything else. He can turn it into a competition.”

MINERAL WELLS — The Wood County 4-H summer camp kick-started the younger camp with engaging activities and group collaboration on Monday.

Since 1915, the West Virginia 4-H Camping Program has supported youth from ages 9-21 to gather and learn in an outdoor environment.

The Wood County 4-H Camp celebrated 85 years in 2024 with the goal to continue bringing improvements to the campgrounds for the upcoming years.

After concluding last week’s older camp with kids ages 13-21, the younger kids set up at the camp for the week which is scheduled to go through Thursday.

Every day has a set of scheduled activities which range from educationally focused classes to arts and crafts. Wood County 4-H partnered with Camden Clark Medical Center this year and will include emergency personnel at the camp in case of any emergency situations.

Each night there will be different activities and games for the kids to participate in before bedtime.

“I like meeting new people from my county and I enjoy helping out with the kids and seeing them come out of their shells as the week goes on,” said one of the teen leaders, Jenna Lewellyn.

Lewellyn is from Williamstown and has been a teen leader at the Wood County 4-H camp for three years and a camper for eight. Teen leaders are youth in grades 6-12 and have the opportunity to participate in additional peer group activities.

“I like the activities like the counselor hunt and council circle,” said Lewellyn.

Rose Casto is from Parkersburg and is a second-year camper at the Wood County 4-H camp. The Wood County 4-H camp welcomes all kids in the county who come from different backgrounds and experiences. Many of them said they enjoyed camp because of their friends.

The daily schedule for kids at 4-H focuses on various games and activities throughout the day. The afternoon usually consists of classes and peer group activities. (Photo provided by Lindsey Boso)

“I like making new friends and I like council circle,” said Casto. “I’m looking forward to the awards because it’s really fun.”

Casto was one of 50 kids participating at 4-H camp during the week of June 30. In between activities, the kids enjoyed lunch in one of the barns during the afternoon before attending their classes for the remainder of the day.

“I learn how to socialize better and how to be kind to other people and how to be a good person,” said Casto.

This week, the kids will be focusing on recycling as part of a partnership with the Wood County Solid Waste Authority. Each tribe will be participating in different exercises and learning modules about why and how to recycle.

Lilly Kelley is a tribe leader for Delaware which is one of four tribes along with Seneca, Cherokee, and Mingo.

“I like meeting people because you’re still friends with them even after camp,” said Kelley. “I like working with my friends and getting closer with them.”

Kelley has been attending Wood County 4-H camp for as long as she can remember since her mom works at the camp.

“I’m looking forward to all of the council circles and leading my tribe during the week,” said Kelley.

The Wood County 4-H campgrounds consist of 67 acres along the Little Kanawha River and offers lodging and food for the kids during their stay. The younger camp is scheduled to conclude on Thursday with an awards ceremony.
