Second Chance Scruggs is giving back to state through non-profit organization

BY JOHN DAVIS OXFORD CITIZEN

Richard “Dickie” Scruggs is practicing what he preaches during his second chance. After spending six years locked up in a federal penitentiary, the former trial lawyer is doing his part to make his home state of Mississippi a better place. He is doing that through education and the organization Second Chance Mississippi, which is geared at getting residents a GED. Scruggs was the guest speaker at Thursday’s Lunch and Learn seminar held at the Lafayette County-Oxford library. He spoke openly about his time in prison, about the lessons he has learned, as well as his current passion, which is helping those that have dropped out of school find the resources to get a GED. Second Chance Mississippi is a collaborative effort with the state’s community colleges. Even without the help of a microphone, Scruggs recited some staggering numbers to the audience. The first stat is that most people aren’t aware that thousands of state residents are eager to improve their job status.

“It’s a neglected field of education in the

sate of Mississippi,” said Scruggs, who first got involved in adult education when he was in prison. “There are four numbers I would like to start off with. The first is 500,000. The second is 14,000. The third one is 50. The fourth is one. The 500,000 is the number of adults who never graduated from high school. That’s about one in five, six adults. It’s twice as big as any town in Mississippi.

“The 14,000 is the amount of kids who drop out of high school every year. Fifty is the number we all hate from Mississippi, which is the standing, in most measures, of education and income,” Scruggs continued. “There are so many metrics where Mississippi is last. But the last number, is good news. The good news is that Mississippi is the most charitable state, the most giving state in the nation. Per capita, we give more to charity than any other state in this country.”

The state’s community college system, by all standards, is the nation’s leader Scruggs said.

“That’s not hype, that’s based on raw data, by a lot of metrics,” he added. “These are the metrics that kind of led me to this organization, to promote awareness of

these programs and to raise money. I want to see us first, or at least off the bottom, in so many different categories.”

Mississippi is second-to-last in the nation in work force participation, Scruggs told the approximately 40 who came out to listen Thursday. He said it was an even more important number than the unemployment rate.

“The only state that is worst than Mississippi in the statistics is West Virginia in work force participation. What that means is people who have a job or are looking for a job and in this state, it’s only 50 percent,” Scruggs said. “That’s adult, non institutionalized Mississippians who have a job or even looking for work. This is not a racial component. West Virginia is 98 percent white and they are worse than we are. So we’re not last, but it’s nothing to brag about.”

Scruggs talked about his prison stint in rural Appalachia, located near where Virginia comes in connection with Kentucky and West Virginia. In a prison that reminded of the one from Shawshank Redemption, located in an area where coal TURN TO GIVING PAGE 5

Bill Dabney was the winner of the Father’s Day gift basket.

SUNDAY, JUNE 19, 2016

Teachers from both Oxford and Lafayette’s school districts had complimentary dental work completed earlier this month.

Father’s Day latest event for Oxford Dental to celebrate

BY JOHN DAVIS OXFORD CITIZEN

Bill Dabney showed off a winning smile Thursday afternoon, not long after he was awarded a gift basket in honor of Father’s Day. It was Oxford Dental’s way of celebrating another important day for many of us, and just another way to honor residents and patients who have made the

practice so successful.

Shawna Reynolds is the office manager at Oxford Dental which features the expertise Dr. Walker Swaney and Dr. Mike Huggins. Inside the gift basket were whitening strips, a water flosser as well as some beef jerky, perfectly suited for any father.

“We didn’t do sugar and that’s funny because he asked about that,”

Reynolds said. “It was a little humor.”

Around 80 names were entered into the contest that Dabney won. Fun drawings are a part of what Oxford Dental does on a routine basis. They also held one for Mother’s Day, and one for Valentine’s Day. “We did dinner for two on Valentine’s Day and that was fun and we also did a

gift basket for Mother’s Day. The next big one that we do is on Veteran’s Day,” Reynolds said. “We try to go all out. We go to the Veteran’s home and hand out some things like another gift basket. We also try to visit with them. That’s what Dr. Huggins and I did last year and it was a lot of fun.”

In December the past few years, the office has awarded free dental work as part of their Operation Christmas Smile.

“We’re really grateful. We have great patients and we just want to be able to give back,” Reynolds said. “All the employees really enjoy doing service type things and that’s something we try to focus on.”

Earlier this month, the office also provided complimentary dental work to area teachers. It was the first time of that specific event.

“We started with the teachers of Oxford and Lafayette County and it went really well,” Reynolds said. “We didn’t have the turnout that we thought we

would, but I think we needed to widen it to who we were offering it to, and overall it was good to let us know what to expect. We weren’t sure if we were going to be overloaded to where we couldn’t take care of everybody. What we’re going to do in the fall is for firemen and policemen.

Free dentistry and we will close the office for a day just for them but we will also let them include their immediate family, wives, husbands and children.”

That event will happen in either September or October, Reynolds added. The goal is to help between 50 and 60 people, and maybe a little more.

“We want to be able to help more people and we felt like this way, we do a couple of events each year that target a certain group of people,” Reynolds said.

“We’re trying to get folks taken care of. We do get a lot of feedback from patients and they are thankful for us doing that. It may be a neighbor or friend that they know that got to par-

ticipate and they thought it was great. And that’s always nice to get a little feedback from patients, too.”

A lot of the people that do participate in the different events just need cleanings, or procedures that insurance doesn’t cover or pays just a small percentage.

“We had a couple of teachers that had fillings diagnosed but even their out-of-pocket co-pay for that was even more than what they could do at the time, so they came in, and we did it for free,” Reynolds said. “We didn’t bill insurance, we did everything complementary. We want to be more than just a dentist for our patients. We don’t want to be some place they dread coming because nobody enjoys coming to the dentist. We want to keep it fun and build relationships and to take care of people and the community. Give back where we can.” john.davis@journalinc.com Twitter: @oxfordcitizenjd

Vacation Bible School Olympics start on Monday

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

The year is 2016, which means it is time for the summer Olympics in Rio, but right here in Oxford, Community Church is partnering with Burns United Methodist Church and the Orchard to launch their very own Olympic themed vacation Bible School, lasting Monday through Thursday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Stone Park.

Melissa Culley is the Children’s and Family Director for Community Church.

This is her first year helping to plan and prepare for the upcoming VBS and said that she has been helped out tremendously by having the opportunity to draw from the expertise and knowledge of the people from the other two churches. Culley said that she and the other organizers are doing everything they can to make sure they make this camp as fun and educational for campers as possible.

“We’re going to have a lot of fun and we’re really look-

ing forward to that theme,” she said. “It’s easy to do a lot of fun games and cool experiences for the kids centered around that theme.”

Though Culley expects every child that shows up will have a blast, she said that it is very important to remember what the meaning behind this year’s VBS theme is. Organizers are going to relate this sort of community-wide Olympics to three important factors in someone’s personal faith.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the campers will be focusing on different aspects of an individual’s relationship with God. Each day will be spent teaching kids that God is faster, higher and stronger, while exploring the biblical stories of Elijah, Joseph and David and Goliath. Culley said they will be looking at how “God is fast to save us, bigger than our problems and strong and mighty.” The last day of the camp is reserved for a special pool party.

Community Church partnered with Burns Methodist and the Orchard for VBS last

year and it was really successful. Part of Community Church’s vision is to be a culturally and ethically diverse group of worshipers that are very much involved in community outreach. Building relationships with these churches and the communities that support them fits into Community Church’s prerogative of bringing communities together for a worshipful purpose.

“We’re just really excited about that partnership because we want to be a church that is focused on reaching the community and we want to be multiethnic in that approach,” Culley said. “These churches have come along side us and it

City planners holding open meeting on land use map JOHN DAVIS OXFORD CITIZEN

Anyone interested in the proposed future land use map for the city of Oxford is invited to attend a public meeting this coming Wednesday. The city’s planning department, led by Judy Daniel, and other members of the staff will be in charge of the meeting that is being held at the Oxford Conference Center’s Oak Room starting at 6 p.m.

According to a release about the event, the staff is scheduled to give a brief summary of how the land use types fit into the context of the Vision 2037 Plan, the characteristics of these land use types, and the reasons they were chosen for the indicated locations. Additional information regarding the characteristics of these types will be available. It was stressed that the public understand the

map isn’t about zoning and that zoning will not be a topic of discussion. Any and all modifications to the city’s zoning will be completed after the Vision 2037 Comprehensive Plan is adopted.

Comments and concerns are encouraged, according to the city, and that they will be forwarded to the planning commission as well as the mayor and board of aldermen. Following Wednesday’s event, these maps will be available for view in the planing department located in City Hall through July 1. The map will also be viewable on the city website www.oxfordms.net/2037/fl umap.

Reference copies of the Vision 2037 Plan will also be available for public viewing at the Planning Department in City Hall, and on the city’s website at www.oxfordms.net/2037.

This event is the final public event for the Vision 2037 Plan process before the adoption process begins. The Vision 2037 Plan is currently scheduled for consideration for recommendation for approval by the Planning Commission at the July 11 meeting. All interested Oxford residents are encouraged to attend, or to come by City Hall in the following days to view the map and ask questions about the Vision 2037 Plan.

has been a great partnership that will attain those goals.”

Community Church was founded in January of 2014.

Culley has been with the church since last summer when she and her husband moved to Oxford from DeSoto County. They had both attended the University of Mississippi, where they met the Lead Pastor at Community Church, Fish Robinson.

Robinson later told Culley and her husband of Community Church and the two joined rank with the church and have been apart of the Community Church family ever since. chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

Julia Aubrey named Director of the Ford Center Julia Aubrey has held many titles during her nearly 20 years at the University of Mississippi. She serves or has served as an associate professor of music, the Director of Opera Theatre,Assistant Chair of the Department of Music, Interim Director of the Gertrude C. Ford Center and a few others.This week she added another notch to her belt of art and academia when she was named the new, fullfledged director of the Ford Center. She served as interim director for about eight months before accepting the full position.

Currently,Aubrey is running her annual Youth Musical Theatre Workshop, which she has been running at the university for 21 years. She managed to set aside some time Wednesday afternoon to meet with Oxford Citizen reporter Chaning Green to discuss her latest appointment as director.

CHANING GREEN: How did you become interim director?

JULIA AUBREY: The previous director, Norm Easterbrook, accepted a job in Georgia. Well, they started taking names for people who they thought would be appropriate to be interim.

So the provost calls me and says, ‘Hey, your name keeps coming up. Would you be interested?’ I said, “Sure. Yes, I think I would.” So I took it on, on top of my other responsibilities. They initially said it would be about eight to 10 hours a week. It eventually turned into 25 or 30 hours a week. I enjoyed it.

We have a great staff. They made it easy for me and helped me out. Plus, the music building is just across the street. It was an easy transition.

GREEN: Why did you stay beyond interim director?

Why did you accept the full position?

PETRE THOMAS

Longtime UM Professor Julia Aubrey stands on the stage of the Gertrude C. Ford Performing Arts Center. Aubrey was officially named Director of the Ford Center this week.

AUBREY: You know, I had no intention. I like what I did. I was actually approached by various people in January and encouraged to apply for the full position. They saw what I was doing as interim and were enthusiastic about that.

They would ask me, ‘Why don’t you apply?’ and I would say, ‘Oh, no, I’m not an arts management kind of person.’ But over the years, I’ve done so many aspects of this job already. Not necessarily in the arts management, but the production end of it and teaching.

Of course, I’ve been at the university for a long time, and a lot of people know me and know my work. So I thought about it. I thought, ‘I could maybe do this.’ I decided when I got back from New York, that was kind of my final test. I was up there meeting with agents, which I had never done. You go to New York, you meet all those different agents, you see little snippets of their shows and then you have to pick which ones come back to play here. It’s awesome responsibility, awesome in a lot of ways. So I wasn’t sure about that. But, I’ve been around music and theatre and dance for so long, that it was challenging, but it was something I could learn. So that was the test for me, that was the ‘Oh, can I really do this. By the

time I came back, I was like, ing to figure out how to do ‘Yes, yes I can really do this.’ the same job in five hours.

AUBREY: Oh, yeah, absolutely. Having already been in place so long as interim, I had an idea of my expectations. My perceptions had shifted and I knew what to expect from the position. I’m excited about having these ideas and hopefully getting them to move forward. I really love this space and want it to be more. I want it to be bigger and better and keep improving. It’s time now to do some technical upgrades. It’s been sitting here for nearly 15 years, and it needs some attention to things like that as well as some minor things. We’re going to be putting a television monitor in the lobby where we will be able to display more of our visuals. Let people know about upcoming shows, interesting facts about the Ford Center and stuff like that. You can see similar things being added around campus.

Piano Discoveries camp lets students explore music

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

The music building on campus is rarely devoid of sound, even during the summer months. When you walk in, chances are you will be met with the quiet laughter and chatter students underscored by the soft sounds of French horns, pianos or marimbas drifting down winding corridors from the numerous studios and practice rooms that make up the music department. This past week the primary sounds to be heard were pianos, mallet instruments and even the occasional steel drum, a telltale sign that this week was the University of Mississippi Department of Music’s annual Piano Discoveries camp.

Associate Professor of Music Ian Hominick has been running the camp since it’s conception nine years ago. Hominick said that running the camp is one of his favorite things about his job, adding that he would not mind even doing it beyond retirement. Hominick spends the majority of his time teaching music to college students, so he said that getting to work with the younger kids presents a new challenge and teaching dy-

mining is the top industry, Scruggs was able to mine his future by helping fellow inmates earn their GEDs. He told the crowd that between 30 and 40 met the requirements during his instruction. Scruggs taught math, and he said other inmates instructed in other subjects.

“I was 62 years old when I went. It was forbidding and foreboding and one of the loneliest places I’ve ever been in my life,” Scruggs said of prison. “The population there were largely people from that area. Many of them couldn’t read. Sixth grade education level was the median. A lot of them had tattoos and teeth missing. It was scary. It was a tough experience. Most of them were there for drug charges.”

“I like the interactions and the inquisitive nature of the kids,” Hominick said.

“They’re at different levels, and they have different tastes, but they’re all here because they have a passion for music and thirst to learn more. One of the comments I often get from parents and teacher, sometimes months down the line, is that this week really motivated them.

I think that’s encouraging.”

It is not just strictly music all day. The kids get to enjoy some unique extracurriculars like taking a DoubleDecker Bus tour of the town, a scavenger hunt around the pose was what Scruggs gained again after some time in prison.

“One of the things the federal prison system does right is they require any inmate that does not have a high school diploma to take the GED or sit in class until they pass it,” Scruggs said. “A lot will draw pictures in class for three hours and not take advantage of it. But there are some that decide this really is a passport to a better life when they get out. The statistics support that. Only about 40 percent of the offenders who get a GED in prison come back. Those that don’t, it’s about 75 percent. Many of the men who got out wanted something to show for it. When word got out I had been a lawyer, a lot of them came up to me for help on their homework or preparing for the GED, which is not easy.”

Scruggs learned math again as he taught it to the prisoners. The tutorials grew, and after about six

Ole Miss campus and a pizza and movie night.

There’s always something fun and different happening.

The students participating in the camp are primarily from Mississippi, but several have come from Louisiana and Georgia.

Campers range in age from 11 to 18 with the official parameter being rising seventh through 12th grade students. A few exceptions are made in when it comes to students who just graduated high school and will be attending Ole Miss in the fall.

One such exception is recent graduate of Tupelo High School Leah Davis.

Associate Professor of Music Ian Hominick works with a student in his studio on campus. Students participating in the Piano Discoveries camp have the opportunity to work with experienced music professionals in private lessons during the camp.

Davis will be attending the University of Mississippi in the fall to pursue a degree in psychology. She received a scholarship that paid her way into the music camp and thought it would be a good way for her to familiarize herself with the campus and department, while also learning more about music.

The soon-to-be freshman has been playing piano for 11 years and will be joining a school choir come fall. So far, she has enjoyed her time

“This was giving me a purpose again and a way to get through that six years. I became a cheerleader for a lot of them,” he said. “A lot of them were motivated to be able to do homework with grandkids when they got out. Some looked at it as

something to show when they got out. When they got done, they had their families come in and had a graduation ceremony just like in high school. It was a big deal.”

When Scruggs got back home in March of 2014, he was listening to the Mississippi Public Broadcasting and a woman talking about the GED program in the state. The new test was much harder to pass, going

at piano discoveries.

“I really like it,” Davis said when asked about her experience at the camp. “It’s really busy, but that gives us a lot of time to practice and take lessons and stuff. I’m really excited to be starting in the fall. I’m excited to be in the Gove and meet new people.”

Everyone at the camp has to play at an intermediate skill level or higher in order to participate. Once kids arrive, they audition and are

then divided into groups based on skill level and age.

These individual groups go their separate ways for certain lessons or instructional sessions, but always come together to attend classes on music theory, different keyboard instruments and other special sessions. The kids stay in a university dorm during their time at the weeklong camp.

from 8,000 to 800 in a year’s time. Scruggs took a chance, he said, and got into contact with Colleen Hartfield, the vice president for community relations and governmental affairs at Hinds CC. “There was a whole new protocol that started in 2014 and the difficulty of getting people through and that they needed help. I took a chance and e-mailed who I was and where I had been and that I would volunteer and do some tutoring,” Scruggs said. “She invited me down to meet with her and her boss and they explained to me how it worked in Mississippi. The community colleges here are the first in the country, through mandate of the legislature, to provide GED training and to administer the test. They also train in skills, welding, plumbing, anything there are jobs for and they do it with local business and industry. They work really hard to place their people or work

hard to get them certification that will allow them to get a job.”

The new non-profit was born out of that initial meeting, and Scruggs has been doing his best to help raise money, and awareness, ever since. Only $200,000 per community college was allocated last year and each school had about 1,000 students enrolled in the program.

“It’s a great program for recovering those that have dropped out, it’s just not well known, well appreciated or well funded,” said Scruggs, who has routinely spoken at different civic groups and educational groups across the state. “We formed Second Chance Mississippi to put all those raw materials together.”

AROUND SQUARE BEYOND JOHN DAVIS OXFORD CITIZEN

Michael Bianco enjoying his first stint as head coach aseball has been a part of Michael Bianco’s life as long since he could crawl. When your father is the head coach an SEC program, it’s hard not to be immersed in the game, and the culture that comes along with it.

Bianco played his high school ball with the Oxford Chargers and then a season down in New Orleans at Delgado Community College. He’s back home now, going to school, and looking towards his future. At 20, Bianco has set his mind to what he wants to do from a professional standpoint. He wants to coach and his first chance at working with youngsters has been very enjoyable.

The Oxford Rebels, a 9-year-old USSSA team, is the squad he’s currently instructing.

The single A Rebels played in their state tournament this weekend at FNC Park. Bianco became the head coach about a month ago.

He was asked to take over by the parents, and he’s been having fun the whole time.

“I just like being around baseball, whether I’m playing it or watching or coaching it,” Bianco said. “I’ve had a real great time this year. When they asked me to do it, I didn’t know any of the kids on the team because none of them really had siblings my age. I was hesitant because I had school and trying to make some money with a job, but I thought about it a while, and I knew it was a good opportunity for me to do it.”

A good percentage of the roster is relatively new to baseball, meaning more specifically, they have played two or three years or even four if they took part in T-ball. This is the first season that the Rebels are seeing an opposing player pitch to them. It’s also the first time that they can lead off the bases, and attempt to steal the next base. In short, it’s an important transitional level.

“They’ve never played this type of baseball before so it’s really getting them up to par with that and being able to learn the game and the fundamentals in order to play the game the right way,” Bianco said of what he focuses on. “I’m trying to get them better everyday. Before this year, it’s been coach-

Morgan O'Connor, who led the Oxford Lady Chargers in goals scored last year, has impressed so far in the summer games.

Off and Running Lady Chargers looking good in early summer action

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

A summer ago, Hunter Crane was just starting to learn his Oxford High soccer players. This June, after helping lead the Lady Chargers to their first state title in February, Crane is watching his players take another step from a development standpoint.

Oxford is off and running, literally, in regards to the 2017 season. The team has played in two summer matches, defeating Center Hill 5-0 and tying New Albany 2-2 this week.

The win over Center Hill came on Thursday at Bobby Holcomb Field.

Even with some girls gone for vacation, Crane had more than enough talent to watch.

“We want to keep our touch and get a little work in this summer and with some of the girls out of town, we were able to use some of the middle school girls,” Crane said. “We want to get them reps and we’re pretty pleased so far. We’re a little off with all the new faces, but we will get that worked out.

That’s what the summer is for.”

The middle school program being around last season has been a help for Crane. The girls that played on that team went undefeated and finished with 60 goals scored.

“They’ve gotten a lot of reps with

each other. It’s just about getting them in rhythm and used to the older girls, the varsity girls,” Crane said. “Their heads are probably swimming a little bit right now having to step up and play with those juniors and seniors. As they get used to it, they will relax, but I am pleased with it so far.”

Instead of having to learn what Crane wanted, and a new style, the Lady Chargers are able to work on things they already know, and then take another step.

“Learning what I wanted was a big part of last year as was building those relationships with the girls where this year, the relationships are there and they know the style that I want to play at and the intensity level I want them to play at,” Crane said. “It’s about fine tuning and to get to have fun with the ball.”

Referees aren’t used in the summer so the action is called by the coaches.

That means some things that happen during a game may not happen in a real game. Crane talked about the situations as a good chance for his players to battle through adversity. Some of his younger players haven’t been done before, and he thought it was good for them to face some new situations.

“Seeing them fight back and get the equalizer just before the game ended

with New Albany was good for them, and I was pleased with that as a whole,” Crane said.

Oxford will play games through July.

They will have a dead week but there could be as many as 13 matches.

Three games will be played at Ole Miss after head coach invited them over.

Addison Mills, Crane said, was having a great summer so far. Mills started at center midfield some last season and then went through an injury spell. Grace Ann Joyce is back off an injury and Crane felt like she would be a key member of the team as she sees time in the midfield and at forward.

Morgan O’Connor, last year’s top goal scorer, is also back and doing a good job, Crane said.

“To have her back and what she brings to the field everyday is huge for us,” Crane added.

Oxford will take on Lafayette Tuesday night, starting with a junior varsity match at 6. That will be played at Lafayette. On Thursday, Oxford will take on DeSoto Central at 5 and then meet back up with Lafayette. A junior varsity match begins four hours of soccer action Thursday at 4.

Oxford’s Baughman enjoys seeing players develop at camp

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

Halfway through a morning rotation of players hitting inside the batting cages located at FNC Park, Chris Baughman kneeled down to a child and assisted in putting on his cleat. After sending that youngster off to the next stop at the Oxford Charger baseball camp, Baughman wrote down winners of contests in order to award them prizes.

All of the extras that Baughman, his staff and players, perform are in conjunction with a lot of teaching baseball. Seventy eight kids took part in this year’s camp, a number that Baughman said was even better than in 2015.

“I was real pleased, real impressed with the turnout because we had several state tournaments going on this week with some of the kids,” the OHS head coach said. “It’s always fun to see young kids out here that may eventually get into our program. They may not get into our program, but they like playing

Players took ground balls as part of the drills taught at the Ox- Shivers Cutcliffe hits the ball off the tee during the Oxford ford Charger baseball camp Charger baseball camp held at FNC Park. the game.”

One of the goals of the camp is to complete a lot of work completed during the week.

“They get more one-onone instruction out of this camp than a lot of the other camps they go to. That’s what I’ve had a lot of parents tell me in the past,” Baughman said. “We try to focus on giving as much one-on-one instruction as we can. We try and teach them what we do when they get into middle school and high school.”

Pitching, hitting, fielding

and things like base running are stressed. Scrimmages came in the third day of the camp, after the players got acclimated to everything. The overall competitions, and individual sessions, were held on Thursday.

“We split it up into ages and each group, we try to give a pitching award, a line-drive hitting award, an infielder award, an outfielder award and this year we added base running to it,” Baughman said. “Everyday we have one round of competition and then on

Thursday, we bring all those winners back and we let them compete within their age group with each other for an overall winner.”

Even though this year’s group was large, there were some familiar faces to Baughman.

“We have a lot of the same faces. There are some kids here who have been in this camp for five, six years,” he added. “It’s always fun to watch them grow, that’s what I like to see with that older group. A lot of our players have

come through the camp.

It’s always fun to watch them grow from the time they are 5 and 6 until they time they are 13, 14 and they get to us.”

There are some who attend the camp that know the game better than another, Baughman said.

“That’s going to happen no matter what age you’re at. Whether you’re 5 or 6 or have high school kids,” he added. “It’s always fun to enjoy the game and it seems like travel ball does kind of help that. Now everybody has a place to

play. There is no more ‘I’ve got to sit the bench or I get cut from an All-Star team.’

If you’re not good enough to play on one travel team, then you’re going to go and find another travel team that needs players. Kids play the game to play the game. That’s what I tell mine all the time. It’s fun in a camp setting to watch them come play, day in and day out.”

Not every camper gets a trophy, but they do get a Tshirt. They hopefully get enough good instruction to use down the road, whether it’s later this summer or at the start of fall ball.

“And hopefully they have some fun out here,” Baughman said adding having it at FNC has been a big benefit. “It’s more fields, and something they’re used to.

It’s more space to play on and the indoor facility is a big help. Brad (Freeman) helping us out is just huge.

We wouldn’t be as successful with this thing without them.” john.davis@journalinc.com Twitter: @oxfordcitizenjd

Rebels QB commit for 2017 has size, strength, leadership qualities

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

If a wide receiver, tight end or running back didn’t catch the ball the way he was supposed to, they could end up having to see the trainer. That’s how hard Alex Faniel, the quarterback commit for the 2017 Ole Miss signing class, throws the ball. His big arm, along with his 6-foot-6, 230pound frame, are just some of the top reasons Faniel was courted so heavily by Ole Miss the past 14 to 15 months.

“Just being that big, he’s very strong. No coach wants to ask their quarterback to lighten up their throws, but sometimes in practice, we did have to take off a little bit just because he was hurting everyone,” said Keylon Mayo, who remains close with Faniel even after resigning as the head coach of Glen Allen (Va.) High Jaguars after the 2015 season.

“For some of the younger guys, their hands were burning. Then for the guys that tried to catch it with their chest, they had to go see the trainer because it knocked the wind out of them or sitting out due to a chest contusion.

KNOW YOUR RECRUIT

Alex Faniel “He’s definitely a big boy who is still growing. For me, he was definitely a leader. When our offensive line did protect him and gave him time, he was able to hit those marks and lighting things up,” Mayo added. “He definitely take off if he needs to but he would prefer to sit back and sling it.”

Faniel will have a much better offensive line at Ole Miss, and Mayo felt like he could flourish in time at the position. Mayo and Faniel were both planning to visit Oxford last May, but they had to cancel that trip. For a few months leading up to that point, Ole Miss had been sending letters to Faniel, who ultimately came on campus last month, and that led to his verbal pledge just a few

COURTESY

Virginia quarterback Alex Faniel committed to Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze on June 2. short weeks ago.

“He said he loved all the coaches and he said that he just felt comfortable from the moment he stepped on the campus,” Mayo said. “Last year when he started receiving some interest, some mail, he and I talked about it. I used to be at his house a lot, talking with him and his parents. The trip was scheduled

and just couldn’t go and that was May 30 last year. Ole Miss has been in the picture for over a year now.”

Ole Miss signed the nation’s top signal caller in Shea Patterson last year, but that had no affect on Faniel, who Mayo said was a great competitor.

“Whatever and wherever the team needs him, that’s what he is going to do. He definitely knows that he has to come in and compete with Shea and he has a lot of respect for him,” Mayo said. “Alex wants to be in a great college environment. He is really high on academics and Ole Miss is known for really high academics. It’s the best of both worlds, to be on a great team and to have a chance to come in and compete early.

His dad graduated from Alabama and a lot of people don’t know about that.”

Leading a team, in and out of the huddle, wasn’t an issue for Faniel. Mayo said everyone naturally gravitated towards him due to his stature.

“Then he has that personality that as he is learning, he is also trying to teach those others that go along with him,” Mayo said.

There is a chance that Faniel

could graduate early in order to be here for spring drills in 2017.

Mayo said Faniel is going to be taking some advanced placement classes and that he was “ahead of the curve” in regards to his school work.

“He has a work ethic to where he would take some extra classes over the summer or at night just to get down there early,” Mayo said adding Faniel was solid to Ole Miss. “I know when I resigned for family/personal issues, people were expecting him to bolt.

He said he was committed here, and even though the team is going to be young, he said wanted to stay and to make sure he left his legacy on the school.”

The Jaguars were only able to win one game last season, but in the 37-20 win over Jefferson, Faniel was fantastic.

“He threw for three touchdowns and that game, he was on point, drilling guys in the chest and they were holding on to the ball. He threw several 40-yard passes,” Mayo said. “Schools like his upside and how young he is, he is still in his growing stage.” john.davis@journalinc.com Twitter: @oxfordcitizenjd

Terriers like to grind things out on the ground

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

In between a matchup with Tennessee Tech and Johnson C. Smith University, the Wofford Terriers will be in Oxford to take on Ole Miss. Wofford is the second game on the 2016 schedule for the Rebels, and their home opener at newly renovated Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

Wofford, which is located in Spartanburg, South Carolina and a member of the Southern Conference, opened the 2015 season against Clemson. The Terriers lost that matchup 49-10 and finished the year 5-6 overall. They also played Idaho, another FBS team, in 2015. Wofford only lost that matchup 41-38. Wofford was picked to finish fourth in the Southern Conference before the 2015 season started and that’s exactly the spot the team finished.

The Terriers like to run the ball, they really, really like to run the ball. Of the 739 plays on offense last season, 633 were rushes. Wofford aver-

aged 5.2 yards per carry, and just over 300 yards per game on the ground. Of the 35 touchdowns the team scored, 33 came on the ground. For the past 18 seasons, Wofford has finished in the top 10 in rushing in the FCS ranks. Wofford bases out of the Wingbone, which is all about ball control and keeping on opposing offense off the field. The fewest rushing attempts Wofford had in 2015 was 44 against Idaho.

Eight starters return on offense in 2016. There are a total of 20 starters back overall, and 55 letter winners back for the Terriers. Three different quarterbacks played last season for coach Mike Ayers, who is 198-1532 during his 30-year career.

Senior fullback Lorenzo Long led the Terriers with 969 yards and eight touchdowns. Last season’s leading tackler, Drake Michaelson, is gone. Linebacker John Patterson, who was second on the team in tackles with 78, is back.

Wofford’s defense was the best in the Southern Confer-

pitch and they had to stay on the base until the ball is hit. You have to learn a whole new game of baseball. They’ve done really well. I’m impressed with what they’ve done and how they’ve been playing.”

At the level Bianco coaches, a single can turn into a triple quickly. A walk can also result in extra bases. The big thing is trying to defend against a stolen base, or deal with a runner, as best as possible.

“Everyone is going to try and steal second, maybe third, because it’s so hard to try and throw someone out,” Bianco said. “The biggest thing is we’ve been working on is the basic step off and working on jump moves and working getting quicker to the plate so the catcher can have a chance to throw them out.”

There are a lot of good athletes on the roster, and Bianco said the kids will be at either Oxford or Lafayette in the future.

“They’re all really good athletes to begin with and baseball wise, the 8 to 9 jump may be the toughest

All three of the starters up front return for the Terriers, while three of the four linebackers are back. Three of the four that started in the secondary are also back.

you play in baseball,” Bianco said. “They’ve all caught up to that and they’re all doing better with it. By the time they get to high school, I think they’re all going to be good.”

The coaching bug has bitten Bianco. He can feel the juices now that he’s back on the diamond and around the game, so the plan is to move forward.

“I’m not the kind of guy to sit in an office. I like being outside and working so coaching would definitely be up my alley,” Bianco said. “My brother Drew said about committing to LSU, when you grow up as a kid, you always kind of want to do what your dad does.

That would definitely be cool and when they asked me, I just looked at it as something to learn from. I can take the experiences of learning 9-year-olds if I get moved up to a high school job or a collegiate job or any level. I’m glad these parents gave me the opportunity.

It’s taught me a lot.”

After the tournament, the plan was to shut things down until the August.

Bianco added he was big on the kids competing in other sports, if they wanted to.

“I’m a bid advocate of

playing as many sports as possible. In the fall, baseball won’t be a priority if they play football, soccer or basketball,” Bianco said.

“I’m definitely going to try and do it as long as they will have me and I can do it because I’ve enjoyed it this year.”

Bianco was looking to learn more from his father, in and around the office, because it was his goal to coach.

“I have some good resources, so I want to try and take advantage of them,” Bianco said. “I learned a lot the last year and a half. I’ve been in Oxford pretty much my entire life, ever since I can remember. I learned some things, matured a little bit. I think I’m the same person, I just learned a lot in New Orleans. I have a few more years under my belt. Having lived in Oxford, moving to a big city, to where not everyone knows you, it was a good experience. It’s nothing but positive vibes over here. I’m glad to be back in town, going to school and having fun being around baseball.” john.davis@journalinc.com Twitter: @oxfordcitizenjd
