LYME REGIS 3 LYME Regis are still in control of Devon & Exeter League Premier East – despite a 5-3 loss at Dawlish United. The Seasiders were aided by rivals Feniton, who could only manage a 2-2 draw with Chard Town Reserves. The development means Lyme can still go through to the knockout stages as group winners. Lyme had begun brightly and took the lead on 30 minutes through Brad Rowe, finally netting after he, Joe Bond and Ben Vine had wasted chances. Dawlish brought themselves level just before half-time when Oliver Rackley-Botten forced a corner home. After the break, Toto Whittle converted a penalty after stand-in keeper Dan Rendall’s aerial foul, and Whittle netted again in fortuitous circumstances when a scuffed shot deceived Rendall for 3-1.
LYME REGIS 3 LYME Regis inflicted a first home defeat since December 2019 on title rivals Feniton with a 3-2 victory at Acland Park. The Seasiders are now just three points behind Fenny with two games in hand and look primed to take top spot in the revised Devon & Exeter Premier East division. Feniton began the game strongly as Brett Garner was called upon to deny Oscar Walsh in a one-on-one. But Lyme responded with a killer touch from Brad Rowe, whose volley on the turn flew into the net 12 minutes in. With Feniton chasing goals due to an inferior goal difference, the hosts flooded forward and equalised seven minutes later when Aaron Pearse crashed a volley beyond Garner despite a suspicion of handball.
Hillcrest Academy head basketball coach Dwight Gingerich continues to climb the all-time head coaching wins list in Iowa high school history. Gingerich, who just completed his 38th year with the program, has compiled 696 career wins, sixth in the history of Iowa high school boys basketball. That total is most in state history for a coach at a single school. He passed former Beckman Catholic and Marquette Catholic coach Jim Squiers and his 686 wins during the most recent season. Gingerich has a 696-209 overall record at Hillcrest, leaving him behind only active coaches Dan Beck at Easton Valley, Mitch Osborn at Harlan, and Fred Parsons at Van Buren. He also trails retired coaches Al Marshall of Cascade and former WACO head coach Bob Hilmer who is the winningest coach in state history with 917 victories.
