NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...
Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
Former star QB to represent
N.C. in Congress
For mountain Democrats,
the defeat of eight-term Republican congressman Charles Taylor was a
long time coming — 16 years, to be exact.
And it took a political
newcomer, former Tennessee Volunteer and NFL quarterback Heath Shuler, to do
it, according to an Asheville Citizen-Times report.
Shuler, 34, claimed victory
Tuesday night with 123,856 votes to 106,632 for Taylor, with all 298
precincts reporting in unofficial tallies. Shuler collected 53.7 percent of
the vote, to 46.3 percent for Taylor.
“We’ve talked about it — how
our country deserves better — and it’s going to get better,” Shuler said to
raucous Democrats gathered at the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Asheville.
Homicide unit probing death of Miami player
A University of
Miami season of tumult turned horrific Tuesday night when
Hurricanes defensive lineman Bryan Pata was shot and killed at
his apartment complex in Kendall, according to a Miami Herald
report.
''He was shot in the head,''
Miami Central High School coach Anthony Saunders said Tuesday night. ``He is
dead.''
The 6-4, 280-pound senior, who
went to Miami Central, was last seen on campus at football practice late
Tuesday afternoon, just hours before the shooting.
According to Miami-Dade police
spokesman Roy Rutland, police officers were dispatched to the Colony
Apartments, 9315 SW 77th Ave., at 7:30 p.m. where they found Pata, 22, dead
of a gunshot wound. His body was found near bushes in the parking lot area.
His mother, Ronette Pata,
jumped out of a Lexus, where family was gathering outside the police line at
about 9:30 p.m., screaming, ''My baby! My baby!'' She then began to slip and
collapsed into the arms of a Miami-Dade detective in front of media members
and onlookers.
She was wearing her son's No.
95 University of Miami jersey, with the words ''No. 1 Mom'' on the back.
Rutland could not release more
details because homicide detectives are still interviewing witnesses and
trying to piece together what happened.
Krog's 73 puts her in top five at Augusta
East Carolina
sophomore Lene Krog carded a second-round score of 73, one-over
par, to claim her first top-five finish of the 2006 season at
the Lady Jaguar Invitational presented in Augusta, GA. The
tournament was being held at the par-72, 5,954-yard Forest Hills
Golf Club.
The Leir, Norway native, who
competed in just her second tournament of the year, finished with a score of
151 (78-73) five strokes behind individual tournament champion Amanda Smith
of host Augusta State. Joanna Klatten (Georgia State) claimed a second place
finish with a three-over par 147 (73-74), while Memphis' Dawn-Marie Conaty
(150) was third, according to an ECU athletic media relations release.
The Pirates (20-37-0) finished
in third place with an event score of 619 (311-308), 13 strokes behind
tournament champion Georgia State (606). Augusta State (615) was second,
while Memphis finished fourth with a score of 627.
Pirates Abby Bools (78-75-153)
and Ana Maria Puche (75-80-155) were seventh and eighth respectively.
Jessica Hauser shot a tournament score of 162 (82-80) to finish tied for
24th, while Michelle Williams (165) ended up with a share of 32nd place.
Playing in her second career collegiate tournament, junior Melanie Granville
(197) finished 40th.
The tourney marks the end of
ECU's fall schedule. The Lady Pirates will open their spring slate Feb.
18-20 with the Papa John's Collegiate Championship at Don Shula Golf Club in
Miami, FL.
