Northview Orthopaedic Associates Launches Sprain & Strain Clinic in Dahlonega
Community September 27, 2018
Clinic Helps Fill Void Created Following Announcement Chestatee Hospital will be Closing
September 21, 2018 (Dahlonega) Northview Orthopaedic Associates, an established orthopaedic practice with more than 25 years serving residents with a range of orthopaedic needs in Dawson, Forsyth, Hall, Lumpkin, and Union counties, recently opened a walk-in sprain and strain clinic located at the practice’s main office, 70 Ansley Drive in Dahlonega. The clinic is open Monday – Friday from 3-4 p.m. and allows easy access to the practice’s orthopaedic surgeons and nurses, as well as diagnostic tests such as x-ray, MRI, EMG nerve conduction studies, and management for strains and sprains.
“Dr. David Hochschild and I, as well as our entire staff, are excited about the future of healthcare in our region, and one way we are trying to impact the landscape is through the launch of a sprain and strain clinic,” said Dr. G. Alan Binkley, who along with Dr. Hochschild are the two practicing surgeons on staff at Northview. “We live in such a gorgeous part of Georgia where engaging in some aspect of outdoor activity throughout the year is a normal way of life for so many. With that being said, the only down side is the likelihood of experiencing some kind of orthopaedic issue or injury is enhanced. We want to be there for those individuals of all ages needing attention.
Northview provides General Orthopaedic Surgery, Total Joint Replacement, Arthroscopic Surgery, Spine Procedures, and support for Sports and Work-Related Injuries. The practice offers state-of-the art orthopedic management options, including minimally invasive surgical also procedures, advanced arthroscopic procedures and stem cell and biologics treatment. More than 75 percent of all surgeries and many procedures, such as spinal injections, can be performed in the safety and comfort of Northview’s ambulatory out-patient surgery center in Dahlonega. The practice also has a presence in Blairsville, where the doctors work two days a week.

After losing only three seniors, Union baseball is loaded
UCHS Baseball February 14, 2018
The Panthers look to improve after striking out on a 10-15 2017 season, and with a dugout full of experience returning this season, they’re chances are looking pretty good.
“The Panthers graduated only 3 players after the 2017 season,” third year head coach Robby Roxbury said in a recent interview with your TeamFYNSports reporter. He added, “This team has a lot of potential and we’re looking on building momentum early in the season and riding on it throughout the season.”
This 2018 Panthers roster returns many starters and carries a deep bullpen into this season. Region 7-AAA is one of the more difficult regions in the state as North Hall won the state championship during the 2017 season and GAC advanced into the quarterfinals.
Coach Roxbury when asked about how this region stacks up replied, “You look at this region and say wow! This is easily one of the most talented and most difficult regions in the state. Just to show how talented this region is, North Hall placed 3rd in the region last year and went on to win the state championship.”
The Panthers look to lean on the senior leadership from this team as they will have 7 seniors. All 5 of the 7 seniors have played all 4 years at Union County.
When asking senior infielder Patrick Baggett on what he thought about the upcoming season: ‘“This has been the quickest 3 years of my life I can’t believe we’re already seniors I’ve played with these guys since t-ball. I think we will improve a lot in contrast to last year, I’m not going to lie it was a difficult year for all of us we hate losing.”
Baggett along with the rest of the players, coaches, and fans hope to see this team make a deep run in the playoffs.
Union County takes wins at Andrews
Union County High School January 10, 2018
Saturday, Jan 5, the Panthers headed to Andrews, NC to play a non-region matchup. The Lady Panthers tipped off at 5pm, and they got off to a hot start. The Lady Panthers outscored the lady wildcats 13-3 in the first quarter led by senior guard Bailey Daniel.
Daniel scored 7, she also reached her 1000th point during this quarter. When asked after the game how she felt about this accomplishment she said, “It’s honestly just such a blessing to have such great coaches and teammates I couldn’t ask for any other group of people.”
Sophmore forward Andelin Hill led all Union County scorers in the second quarter with five points to extend the lead to 26-16 at the half.
The Lady Panthers came out of the half and went on a 12-1 run to extend the 3Q lead to 38-21. Sophomore center Kait Mccarter led all UC scorers with 6 points.
The final score was 48-29, and junior forward Jordan Rogers led the 4th quarter in points with 5.
Kait Mccarter led the team with 16 points followed by Andelin Hill whom had 11.
The Lady Panthers improve to 11-4 which matches last years win total.
Union County handles business, defeats Lumpkin varsity teams
Union County High School January 8, 2018
Friday Jan 4, the Panthers faced off in a region matchup against the Lumpkin County Indians. The Lady Panthers tipped off at 7pm, the Lady Panthers got off to a hot start, taking a 12-3 lead as the first quarter came to a close.
The Lady Panthers continued to impress in the second quarter, led by sophomore center Kait Mccarter. Mccarter nearly had a double-double in the first half, with 10 points scored and eight boards collected before the end of the first two quarters of play.
After halftime, the Lady Panthers showed no signs of letting up. They went on a 10-3 run to end the third quarter with a score of 34-19 going into the fourth, a somewhat comfortable 15-pt lead.
The fourth quarter was a duplication of the previous three, demonstrated with an 11-2 run by the Lady Panthers, who at one point led by as many as 24.
The Lady Panthers top scorers were senior guard Bailey Daniel who had 19 (she is 7 points away from 1000!) and sophomore forward Kait Mccarter with 18 points and 14 rebounds.
The Lady Panthers improve to 10-4 and 3-1 in 7-AAA. The next game will be Saturday, Jan 5, at Andrews (NC) at 5:30pm.
The Panthers followed the Lady Panthers, tipping off at 8:30pm Friday night.
The varsity boys got off to a hot start, with starting forward Sawyer Drake scoring 12 straight points to put Union County up 23-17 after the first quarter of regulation.
Early in the second, however, tragedy struck as the super sophomore was forced to limp off the court in pain. Preliminary reports speculate Drake suffered a torn meniscus, an injury that would certainly leave some large shoes to fill for the Panthers.
As the team regrouped, they continued to keep the momentum in their favor and led by as many as 17 in before heading to the locker room at halftime, leading by 13, 40-27.
The third quarter was much of the same, as the Panthers came out and went back to work. They managed the ball well offensively, avoided unnecessary fouls, and continued to apply pressure defensively; extending their lead at the end of the third by a score of 64-39. A large part of that effort offensively came from senior forward Crawford Colwell, who had produced 21 points going into the final quarter of play.
Union (12-2, 3-1) finished the game with a final score of 76-54. They traveled to Andrews (NC) on Saturday, full story to follow.
