CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Emily Zabor, a sophomore at The University of Alabama, is the recipient of the Elite 89 award for the 2013 NCAA Division I Women's Tennis Championship. She is the second member of the Crimson Tide to win the award in as many years as Mary Anne Macfarlane won in 2012.

Zabor, majoring in marketing, currently carries a 3.969 GPA, and was presented with the award during the championship banquet on Wednesday in Champaign, Ill.

The Elite 89, an award founded by the NCAA, recognizes the true essence of the student-athlete by honoring the individual who has reached the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level in his or her sport, while also achieving the highest academic standard among his or her peers. The Elite 89 is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA's championships.

Eligible student-athletes are sophomores or above who have participated in their sport for at least two years with their school. They must be an active member of the team, traveling and a designated member of the squad size at the championship. All ties are broken by the number of credits completed.

The bill requires public and private schools across Georgia to create concussion policies. Schools will have to pull players if they show signs of concussion and get all-clears from doctors before letting young athletes return.

During Tuesday's signing, Governor Deal was joined by 12-year-old Tyler Alcala, a 6th grade student at Mt. Bethel Christian Academy and lacrosse player who knows all about the seriousness of concussions.

Tyler Alcala suffered a concussion after being hit in the head by a ball during a lacrosse clinic. Tyler was by the governor's side when he signed the bill at 9 a.m.

Hanna's Hope

Come to Zaxby's Tuesday, April 9th from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. to help raise money for kidz2Leaders just by eating delicious chicken! 10% of total sales during Zaxby's fundraiser night will go toward flip-flops for campers to wear as shower shoes.
 

Hannah Register '12, a freshman at Roswell High School, organized the fundraiser to benefit k2l.  "A couple of months ago I saw pictures from the poverty and health conditions in Haiti, and I felt terrible knowing that I had so much and they where fighting for survival. I decided to do some research and found that conditions like that are even in downtown Atlanta! Once I learned of this, I decided to try to make my own non-profit organization and to start off, I decided to raise money for Camp Hope and the kids there. The extra money will be sent to Haiti and to help the homeless. I am hoping for my organization to grow so that I can really help make an impact."

The fundraiser will only occur at the Zaxby's located at 1347 Church Street Extention, Marietta, GA 30060.

Zac is having a notable final year in high school baseball. Most recently, Zac led the team in a 3 to 2 win over Kings Ridge - a first in school history.

Zac threw a complete game against Kings Ridge with an impressive performance on the mound. He threw 7 K’s for the day while controlling the game with a mix of pitches and an impressive FB that increased velocity as the game approached the 7th inning. When not pitching, Zac is a starting 3rd baseman, delivering all-region fielding performance while leading the team in hitting. In addition, the Rawlings Annual Preseason All-American and All-Region Teams were announced last week to recognize the top high school baseball athletes in the U.S. Zac was named to the Southeast All-Region Team. “With more than 240,000 high school baseball players in the nation, these players represent the very best in their class,” said Mike Thompson, senior vice president of marketing for St. Louis-based Rawlings.

Off the field and in the classroom Zac has remained on the honor roll at St. Francis 10th, 11th and 12th grade. With several college offers to date, Zac has not yet committed to where he will play ball next year, but is considering schools in the Southeast and California.
