| Soccer: Ellison girls edge Heights in overtime
Axita Patel scored in the sixth minute of the second half of overtime and the Ellison Lady Eagles edged Harker Heights 2-1 on Friday at Leo Buckley Stadium.
The Lady Eagles (8-10, 2-5 District 13-5A) appeared to be on the way to a win in regulation when Briana Alston scored the first goal of the match with only 5:50 remaining, but the Knights made a final push and scored with 27 seconds remaining.
Heights' tally was created by a free kick into the 18, where the ball was headed into the goal past Danielle Moreno (five saves) for the equalizer.
Patel earned an assist on Alston's 10th goal of the season.
Ellison outshot the Lady Knights (2-4-1, 13-5A) 12-9 and returns to action Tuesday night at 7 at A&M Consolidated.

Teacher up for Golden Apple in '96 charged with battery
A former Golden Apple nominee teacher was behind bars Friday for reportedly battering his pregnant daughter in their Cape Coral garage.
John Elias, 45, was arrested Thursday on a charge of domestic violence battery and was being held without bond at Lee County Jail. Records from the Lee County Clerk of Courts reveal three prior domestic violence injunctions in the last three years have been filed against him by two different women. Still, Elias has no prior criminal record.
Elias, a culinary arts teacher at Lee County High Tech North in Cape Coral, earned a Golden Apple nomination for excellence in 1996. Robert Fain, assistant director of the vocational school, said Elias has been an instructor there since the school opened in 1993.
According to a report prepared Thursday by Cape police officer Angela Fleming, Elias was arguing with his 18-year-old daughter Jade about her relationship with her boyfriend.

In 2007, safety performance was the best since the company's inception in 1999, and the performance of our generating stations improved significantly," CEO Jim Hankinson said Friday. "The reliability of our generating stations improved over the previous year, with the exception of the Pickering A and B nuclear stations, where one-time events unfavourably affected production in 2007," said President and CEO Jim Hankinson. Electricity generated in 2007 of 105.1 terawatt hours was essentially equal to production of 105.2 TWh in 2006. But electricity production from OPG's nuclear stations of 44.2 TWh in 2007 decreased from 2006 production of 46.9 TWh. "Production at the Pickering A station decreased primarily as a result of a requirement to perform modifications to a backup electrical system, and repair work required due to a component failure during inspection," the company said.
