The undefeated Bears advanced to the finals after a shutout win over Stars Mill, 5-0. The black and silver are led by 8 seniors, a balanced attack on offense and a stingy defense.
Saturday, they'll take to the pitch one final time in search of the school's first soccer state title.

Driver in Critical Condition After Being Shot by Houston Deputy

The GBI's Perry office says a Houston County deputy shot a man who drove away from a traffic stop and then rammed two patrol cars with a vehicle.

The unidentified suspect is in critical condition at the the Medical Center of Central Georgia, according to Rodney Wall, GBI special agent in charge of the Perry office.

He says it happened around 3 p.m. on Moody Road.

Wall said the deputy tried to pull the car over in "a routine traffic stop."

The driver would not stop.

Three other Houston County deputies joined the pursuit before the driver finally stopped just south of Lake Placid Road.

When officers got out, Wall says the driver rammed the vehicle into two patrol cars.

According to the GBI, a deputy then fired multiple gunshots at the man, who was still inside the car.  Wall says, there is no indication the man was armed at this time.

Northside School Farm Wins Award

Students at Northside High School in Warner Robins have their very own farm, and it's award-winning.

It was recently recognized as an outstanding middle/secondary school program by the Georgia Vocational Agriculture Teachers Association.

Students say it's well-deserved, and the farm reinforces what they learn in the books.

"We can look at an animal and say she's slobbering out of her mouth, she's blinking slowly and getting sick and stuff. We can really tell that something is wrong with her and we can go ahead and narrow it down and fix it," said Indyja Mitchell.

"I've used all kinds of things in math building the barn," said Hunter Bartholomew.

The program also aims to teach responsibility. Bartholomew, 17, owns Charlie, a steer. He has to keep up with Charlie's record book.

"How much money you've spent on your cow, pounds of feed you've purchased, what you've done from day to day," he said.

- The next BRAC, which determines whether a military base is closed, could be in 2015, if approved by Congress. 

- The commission is comprised of nine members: three appointed by each the President, the Senate and the House.

- Robins AFB, which employs about 20,000 people, could be on the list so local orgs are trying to prepare the community to fight.
