GETTING THE DROP ON HER

          reaches first safely as Lord Botetourt first baseman Jessie Davisson
          misplays a throw Tuesday during their Blue Ridge District softball 
          showdown at the Moyer Complex in Salem. Davisson atoned for the 
          error with a key stop of a line drive to start a double play as the 
          Cavaliers won the game 1-0 to clinch the regular-season 
          championship.
