All Them Witches to perform at Proud Larry’s

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

Nashville based indie rock band All Them Witches will be performing at Proud Larry’s next month to promote their latest album, “Sleeping Through the War.” All Them Witches has been together for about five years now. Guitarist for the group Ben McLeod and drummer Robby Staebler met in a bar one night.

They bonded over their love of jazz and started jamming together. They began looking for a singer and a bass player, and they found two coworkers who fit the bill. They all joined up and have since put out four studio albums, one live album and three EPs. “We’re constantly recording,” said McLeod. “You gotta record the crappy stuff too. We’re always wanting to record and we manage to squeak it in when we’re not on the road.”

Shortly after they formed, they started to booking their own tours. Due to their unique sound, they had a little trouble finding a place in Nashville that

they really vibed with and could perform at. So they looked outside the city, and it was a good decision for them.

“We didn’t immediately find a niche that we fit into here in Nashville,” said McLeod. “So, we started doing these weekend tours, and then those turned into five-day tours and then two-week tours. And I guess the rest is kind of history.”

McLeod got his love of music from his family. He and his sisters took piano lessons as children and grew up with their father being a big fan of jam bands.

“So I guess in that way, I have classical piano and guitar, but all I’ve ever wanted to play was electric guitar,” McLeod said. “I jammed out to Hendrix and the Allman Brothers stuff. I guess everyone in the band comes from musical families as well.”

“Sleeping Through the War” is the group’s latest album and came out February 24. All Them Witches will be live at Proud Larry’s on April 7. chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

Tinti to appear on Thacker Mountain Radio

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

Author Hannah Tinti will be appearing on Thacker Mountain Radio this month to promote her latest novel, “The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley.”

Tinti’s novel is centered on the life of a man named Samuel Hawley and his daughter. Hawley has 12 scars, and they’re all bullet holes. So what happened to Samuel Hawley? Who is he and what’s his story? His daughter is going to find out.

Tinti first got the idea for the novel when she set out to write about places that she knew. She had a vague idea that she wanted a love story to be involved, but wasn’t exactly sure how she wanted the pieces to fit together.

She was in Gloucester, Massachusetts one year, near where she grew up and she went to an event called the Greasy Pole. They take a telephone pole, cover it in grease and lard and sit out on the pier so that it hangs over the town’s harbor. Challengers, most of whom are drunken fishermen, must reach the other side of the pole and claim the flag at the end.

Hannah Tinti Pretty much everyone just ends up falling into the harbor and is fished out by the people waiting in boats below.

Tinti and her family went to this competition nearly every year when she was growing up. She has fond memories of spending summer days watching and laughing as people fell into the harbor. It all had a sort of Greek, sportsman like feel to it, she said. She thought she’d like the character of her next book to be in this competition.

Then she imagined what he would look like. There’s a scene in the book here and it zooms in on one particular man in the compe-

tition. With his shirt off, readers can see he’s covered in scars.

They’re actually bullet holes.

Samuel Hawley has a dozen bullet holes all over him. What kind of life could a man have led that would lead to such wounding?

“As I focused on these scars, I wondered, ‘what’s this story,’” Tinti said. “I thought it would be really cool to tell the entire story of one man’s life, just trough these marks on his bodies. So you’re only getting these snippets of this man’s life. You don’t quite get the whole picture.”

As the story continued to unfold for Tinti, she began exploring different points of Hawley’s life and placing each story of a wound in new location. The book sweeps across the country and explores different locations that Tinti has either lived in or really enjoyed visiting. She poured over journals from her travels and looked at how certain placed made her feel.

“I was also thinking in this mythic hero mindset when I was writing, so I started rereading some of the Greek myths, and I decided to connect his story with the 12 labors of Hercules,” Tinti said. “It tied into this idea of all the

BRIEFING Croft Institute welcomes guest lecturer On Wednesday, March 29 at 7 p.m., the Croft Institue for International Studies at the University of Mississippi will welcoming guest speaker Michael Gorham as he lectures on social media.

Gorham’s lecture is titled “Kadyrov on Instagram: Mediating (Chechen) Authority in a Web 2.0 World.” The lecture description reads as the following: Social media are frequently celebrated for their democratic, decentralized architecture, a means for everyday citizens to express themselves without the regular media filters of more centralized markets. What happens when they become the go-to mode of communication and public relations for political leaders of a more authoritarian bent? The foray into Instagram by Ramzan Kadyrov, the ex-warlord and charismatic leader of

the Russian republic of Chechnya, offers a compelling case study for examining just this. Through a detailed analysis of the multimedia project, “Kadyrov on Instagram” provides insight into the protean profile of authority it projects, its contribution to Kadyrov’s growing reputation of one of Russia’s most powerful politicians, and the broader implications of this trend on the potential of new media for promoting civic discourse in Russian politics.

different adventures that he would have in these different places, just like Hercules. But if Hercules was happening now, it would be a very different story, and that’s how I struck upon this idea of 12.”

Hercules went on his 12 labors as a penance. Hera, furious with Zeus for conceiving yet another child in yet another affair, sent down a madness upon Hercules, forcing him to kill his entire family.

The labors were his way of making it right, appeasing the gods by doing good in the world This idea of every hero’s dark side really fascinated with Tinti and she threaded that in as a major theme of Hawley’s story. So what are the sins of Samuel Hawley? Tinti weaves a father-daughter story that spans a continent, decades and duality of man who has more than one epic story of his own to tell. “The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley” has been praised for its beautiful prose, powerful storytelling and its ability to transport readers across space and time as they follow the lives of Samuel Hawley and his young daughter.

Isom Center gearing up for annual Student Gender Conference

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

The Sarah Isom Center for Women and Gender Studies at the University of Mississippi is gearing up for their 17th annual Student Gender Conference.

This year’s conference is themed “In/Visible,” and will be exploring what it means to be noticed, marginalized and generally visible in society.

“We’re thinking about the ways in which visibility works in culture,” said Theresa Starkey, associate director and instructor of gender studies for the Isom Center. “One way to think about that is whether or not it’s a gender issue. We can also apply that to thinking about the gaming industry and women’s roles in animation industry. For example, did you know that ‘Steven Universe’ is the only show ever put out by Cartoon Network that was created by a woman? Now there’s another woman there that’s been greenlighted. How does that work? How does that visibility work and who are the people out there breaking these kinds of boundaries?”

The conference will consist of panels made up of undergraduate and graduate students from within the University of Mississippi and beyond.

Students are coming from Kentucky, Georgia and

Florida. Those interested in presenting at the conference can submit a paper for consideration and, if chose, are then asked to present their research.

The panels this year vary widely as the topic of societal visibility can be tackled from so many different angles. One presenter will be looking at the role of feminists in sororities, another at healthcare and another at the presence of male feminism.

One of the keynote speakers for this year’s conference will be Ashly Burch. Burch is a voice actor, writer, gamer and more. She will be coming to the conference to discuss what it’s like being a woman in the gaming industry, as well as about her life and work.

Burch is a writer and actor on the hit Cartoon Network show “Adventure Time.” Her acting work includes credits on shows like “Attack on Titan” and “Dragon Ball Z Kai.” Her extensive credits for voice acting in video games includes major his like “Boarderlands,” “Life is Strange,” “Lego Jurassic World,” “Fallout 4,” “Lego Marvel’s Avengers,” and many more. Burch has been nominated for both an Emmy and a BAFTA for her work and has won the Golden Joystick award for her work in “Life is Renowned artist Ju- year. Huxtable’s work has held at the Thad Cochran Strange” Center on liana Huxtable will also be been featured in both the Burch’s speech “Enter- Research a featured speaker this Museum of Modern Art ing a Place of Risk” will be March 29 at 6 p.m.

Oxford JCPenney store among many closing nationwide DAILY JOURNAL

Five Mississippi JCPenney stores – including the location at Oxford Mall – are among the 138 stores nationwide that will be closing, the company announced Friday.

Stores in Columbus, Corinth, Greenville, Meridian and Oxford will close this year with liquidation set to begin April 17.

Those remaining are in

Biloxi, Flowood, Greenwood, Hattiesburg, Laurel, Ridgeland, McComb, Starkville, Southaven and Tupelo.

J.C. Penney Company Inc. released the list of stores Friday saying the closures were “part of a continuing effort to advance sustainable growth and long-term profitability.”

Like other department stores, J.C. Penney Co. is hurting as more people

shop online instead of heading to the mall. The closures are part of the company's plan announced in February to focus on its best-performing stores.

Liquidation sales will start at stores next month, and most of them will be shut by mid-June. About 5,000 jobs nationwide will be cut.

The closings will leave J.C. Penney with about 900 stores.

and the Guggenheim. Her work explores gender, sexuality and identity with her work which ranges from instillations, performance pieces and more.

Huxtable’s address is called “An Evening with Juliana Huxtable” and will be held at the Gertrude Ford Center’s Studio Theatre on March 30 6 p.m.

Starkey said that she looks forward to the conference every year and is excited to see what conversations will come out of them.

“Again, we’re looking at how this idea of invisibility works within our culture and our society,” she said. “What does it mean to be rendered invisible, and what are some of the machinations that produce that invisibility?

Some could say economics, while others might say social policy and legislation and how that sometimes targets minority groups. These are what we’re going to thinking about. What happens when you marginalize people and when you put certain barriers out there?

We want to figure out how we can start conversations that raise awareness and ultimately lead to social change so that we can bring those who are marginalized to the center.”

NASA Astrophysicist to speak at Science Cafe

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

National Aeronautics and Space Administration astrophysicist Sabrina Savage will be the featured speaker at next Tuesday’s Science Café, put on in partnership with the Univeristy of Mississippi’s Department of Physics and Astronomy and held at Lusa Bakery.

Savage works at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama and was named deputy project scientist for the joint U.S. and Japan Hinode mission to study the sun. Her lecture will focus on heliophysics, physics relating to the sun, and how solar flares and other things affect the Earth.

The Science Café began in October of 2011 as the brainchild of UM Professor Marco Cavaglià, The program is funded in part by a grant and by the university. Cecille Labuda

works at the physics department as an associate professor who does research into ultrasonics.

She has been attending the Science Cafes since they first began, but became really involved on year when Cavaglià went on sabbatical and she oversaw the project that year. Once he returned, she stayed involved and has been helping him with the event since.

The speakers who are featured during the Science Café are not all physicists. They can be scientists involved in any field or research. They are tasked with presenting their work in an easily understood manner in the casual setting of a restaurant. Their subject matter has to relate to people’s everyday lives so that those attending don’t have to be scientists to get a lot out of the lecture and re- for by the university, and ally enjoy it. Attendees can sit and enjoy the talk. come in, get a free cup of “I’ve actually presented coffee and a pastry, paid at the Science Café before

and the presentations take a long time to prepare,” Labuda said. “We’ve had speakers from several di-

verse fields. We had one guy give a very interesting talk on migraines and how those work. We’ve had people come and discuss food chemistry and why food reacts a certain way when you cook it. We’ve also had a lecturer come in and speak about how mathematics relate to game playing. When the person comes in, they give a talk about the work that they do, and they relate it to things that everyone can sort of identify with.”

Labuda said that her favorite part of the Science Café is how experts come in to discuss often very complicated topics in an easily digestible manner.

The issues and topics being discussed usually have a measurable direct impact on everyone, and the information is presented in such a way that people certainly don’t have to be scientists to understand it.

“What’s cool about the Science Café is that a lot of

these things you might have learned about just a little bit in high school, you just weren’t paying attention,” Labuda said.

“You get to learn how these things affect the way we live and how important they are. For example, there was a chemist once who came and discussed the nitrogen fixing process. They call this the Haber Process. This is so important for us to live on Earth because without it, we wouldn’t be able to produce enough food for the population. You get to learn about these seemingly arcane subjects and see the direct effects they have on all of us.”

The next Science Café is being held Tuesday, March 21 at Lusa Bakery from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. No tickets are required.

Everyone is just encouraged to show up and enjoy. chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

Fried chicken and catfish and sweet team may never taste better, or be healthier for us. That’s the goal and purpose of Southern Cooking Made Healthier, a class sponsored for the community by Rebel Well and the Leisure Lifestyles of Oxford.

Some of our most favorite Southern dishes will presented in a different way during Thursday’s class located in the OPC’s multipurpose room at the activity center.

The cooking demonstration will be live and led by one of Rebel Well’s registered dietitians.

Catered meals of all the madeover-dishes will also be available to those in attendance. The class is free, but registration is requested to reserve seats.

This class is the second one presented by Rebel Well this winter.

Grands and Grands was a healthy cooking class that paired grandparents and grandchildren together.

Healthy snacks and lunches were created in that class held in February. Rebel Well holds weekly meetings on The University of Mississippi campus that promotes active lifestyles and healthy eating habits. LOU on the Move are fit-

“We do it during Spring Break, all summer and pretty much any holiday the kids aren’t in school,” Bedsworth said. “We do them during the school holidays to help out parents who might not be able to take off from work during the holiday.”

One of their projects this week was the Great Art Challenge, which began with an egg hunt. The plastic eggs were hidden in the parking lot in front of the Powerhouse. The eggs where filled with stickers, rhinestones, string, ribbons and more. The kids could then use the supplies front the eggs they find to create their very own masterpiece.

The were given construction paper and some kept the paper whole while others cut it into strips and decorated those. One boy used his supplies to decorate his face, incorporating the construction paper in a different way than everyone else. The whole point was to be as creative as pos-

ness schedules held on Saturday, which have gained popularity since their creation.

“The healthy cooking class we presented in February, partnering with LLO, for grandparents and grandchildren was a great success,” said Rebel Well Project Coordinator Wendy Carmean.

“Research shows kids are more apt to try new foods when they are a part of the prep and cooking process so we wanted to provide that opportunity while showcasing some healthy snacks and lunch ideas for families in the community. Anytime you can pick up easy tips to make eating healthier, it's a real benefit. And when you can incorporate kids and other family members in the process, you'll be more likely to stick with healthy changes long term.”

The Leisure Lifestyles of Oxford also promotes healthy alternatives for those that are over age 40. Seventeen different classes are available for residents, while other programs such as the cooking demonstrations, are held throughout the year. This spring, the LLO has revolved around the slogan: “Get Out, Get Moving.”

Thursday’s cooking class will begin at 5:30 p.m. For more information, visit rebelwell.olemiss.edu /healthysouthern/ to reserve spaces.

“I like the ideas of there being parameters,” Bedsworth said. “The kids freak out. They love the challenge. They also only have a certain amount of time to complete the challenge. They get up a present their work and we clap and each person gets a title, like ‘most creative’ or ‘most aerodynamic.’ It also gets them talking about their art. They’re learning to work within those parameters, but also talk about what they’ve created. This is also on par with educational standards.”

Bedsoworth keeps a staff of volunteers and paid workers around to help out during the camps.

Shamika Petty has been helping out with the art camps since 2012. She first paths with crossed Bedsworth while working at McDonald’s. Bedsworth would come by every morning to buy a coffee, and soon the two became friends. One day Bedsworth mentioned that she was looking for someone to help out with her art busi-

It’s just fun to celebrate these holidays with the little ones because they’re

Chargers rally to defeat Arrows in extras It doesn’t matter if Oxford outfielder Clark Stovall meant to get the bunt down or not just so he could get a walk-off double. That hit allowed the Chargers to celebrate a 6-5 nine inning win over the Clinton Arrows Thursday afternoon at Edwin Moak Field on the last day of the Oxford Spring Break Tournament.

Oxford (11-1 overall) rallied with three runs in the seventh without the aid of a hit to force extra innings thanks to Reed Markle, Carson Stinnett, and Drew Bianco getting hit by the pitch. They were all driven in by walks from Stovall, CJ Terrell, and Preston Perkins to recover from a 5-2 deficit and tie the contest at 5.

“Bottom of the seventh, our guys just competed, we didn’t do anything special,” Oxford coach Chris Baughman said. “We got on top of the plate because the guy had been wild and missed inside. We knew the side-armed guy had the ball tailing back into us. We had some righties stay in there with it and put a little pressure on him and that’s what happens. I thought we did a much better of handling pressure later in the game than we did early. I thought we were a little unfocused on what we needed to do and more focused on what they were doing. I was proud of our fighting back, coming back and getting a big win.”

With Terrell on first base in the Charger fourth inning and Oxford leading 2-1 with one out, Perkins hit a ground ball to the pitcher that appeared to start an inningending double play, but the field umpire called both Terrell and Perkins safe on the play for having the Clinton field players being pulled off their respective bags at first and second. That prompted Clinton coach Trave Hopkins to have a heated argument on the play between the umpires before eventually being ejected from the contest. Clinton (7-4) eventually got out of the inning with two fielder’s choice groundouts after the ejection and took the lead in the following at bat in the fifth inning with two runs and appeared to have all the momentum. The Arrows added another two runs in the seventh to grab a 5-2 lead before Oxford’s rally to force extra innings. ”We told our kids once all that was over that if they got out of it unscathed it was going to be hard to keep the momentum on our side,” Baughman said. “They took some adversity and played with it. They did a good job, hats off to them. They had TURN TO BASEBALL PAGE 12

Oxford junior Tyler Smith pitched a no-hitter in his second start on the mound this season.

Super Charger Smith garners no-hitter in second start

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS WRITER

There wasn’t much time for Tyler Smith to prepare for his outstanding start on the mound this past Wednesday. The Oxford High junior recorded a no-hitter in the Chargers’ 11-1 win over Lake Cormorant. Smith got the nod on the mound, his second of the year, after OHS coach Chris Baughman told him that Duncan Graeber had a broken hand and was unable to go.

“He stepped right in and threw the ball great,” Baughman said of Smith, who has a 0.57 ERA on the season after his latest outing. “It was a 6 o’clock game and I think I texted him about 4:30 and told him he was starting. He didn’t have much time to get ready but he did what I expect all of our guys to do. And they have done it all year.”

Baughman may have expected Smith to do his best but getting a no-hitter as a result was completely different. Smith has four appearances on the mound heading into the start of division play, and two starts under his belt. Baughman feels like he can put him into the game anywhere.

“He’s a big kid who came into our program two years ago. He wasn’t very strong as a freshman but he’s worked and we’re still trying to get him stronger in the weight room,” Baughman said.

“He’s got a big arm and the potential to be a high velocity guy before he leaves.

He was much better at spotting his fastball this second start. I thought his changeup was better a couple of weeks ago in Pearl when we played in the MidMississippi Classic. Even though his changeup wasn’t as good, he controlled both sides of the plate and he had enough of a breaking pitch to keep them off balance and keep them guessing.”

Smith has gone from being nervous on his first start to a no-hitter, and that transformation is a credit to his focus.

“I really wanted to get ahead of hitters, throw strikes and stay focused because that has been a problem for me in the past,” Smith said. “Once I got that going, I got help from the defense.”

Another key to the great start, and not giving up a hit, was not walking Gator batters, Smith said.

The curveball proved to be the pitch Smith used along with his fastball to get batters out. He changed the grip on the curve, and that bailed him out of some situations late in the game.

“I felt like I got better as the game went on. There was one inning where I didn’t get ahead of a couple of hitters but I ended up working out of it,” Smith said, adding he was a pitch-to-contact type guy. “There are times where I try to blow it by people but when the situation calls for it, I’ll pitch to contact and try to get the outs when we need them. I feel like I have the capability of striking out people but I also the defense behind me

that can help me out. I trust my teammates to get the outs.”

Smith didn’t realize that he had a nohitter going until the third or fourth inning. At that point, his focus was just the next pitch as opposed to keeping the no-hit bid going.

The Chargers are deep again on the mound, even with the graduation of Jason Barber and Houston Roth. Smith was looking to fit in somewhere in the rotation that is led by Carson Stinnett.

“We have some much depth and you’re not given anything on this team.

You have to earn everything so I knew I was going to be four or five pitching wise, maybe two or three,” Smith said.

“Parker (Stinnett) has pitched really well.

He’s been really consistent to where he could be the No. 3. It’s whoever is feeling it that day. I can come on in relief or start.

I do like to get my body fully warm and have an hour or so to prepare for the start instead of being in the dugout and being told to start warming up.”

One of Smith’s biggest fans is his father Mike, who coaches softball at Ole Miss. Smith’s father was a pitcher before he got into coaching, and he threw several one hitters.

“He’s been a great help to me this year.

He’s been a mentor when he’s at home and when he can help out,” Smith said.

“He’s been awesome this year. I’ve been playing baseball since I was 3 or 4. I’ve been thrown into football but I feel like baseball is where I need to be.”

Jones Happy With Decision to Stay

BY BEN GARRETT SPECIAL TO OXFORD CITIZEN

Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze overturned his coaching staff in the offseason with the addition of five new assistants, including new hires at both offensive and defensive coordinator.

But it was almost six.

Freeze landed Auburn defensive backs coach and codefensive coordinator Wesley McGriff as his defensive coordinator in mid-December.

The Tigers attempted to return the favor in pursuing Ole Miss cornerbacks coach Jason Jones to replace McGriff.

However, after briefly considering the offer, Jones remained at Ole Miss for what will be his fifth season.

Auburn wasn’t the only opportunity for Jones. However, Jones said loyalty to his players, as well as the opportunity to continue to work for Freeze and start fresh with a long-time friend in McGriff, made his decision to stay the right one.

“First of all, it’s the young men on the team,” he said.

“It’s the same guys on the team that we had this past season. It’s the same ones we went to the Sugar Bowl with.

The talent is there, and it’s young talent. So that’s really

exciting to me. And sometimes you can go to another place, and just because you think the grass is always greener on the other side, it might not necessarily be that way. Coach Freeze is a great head coach and a great man. I’ve enjoyed working for him, and my family loves Oxford. I wanted to be a part of getting the program back to where it can be, where we know it can be. The talent is there. And also being able to work with coach McGriff and having a relationship with him and the defensive staff that he’s put together.

“Coach (Bradley Dale) Peveto is great. He’s a sharp football coach, Xs and Os, high energy. He’s doing a great job with those linebackers. And also (defensive line) coach (Freddie) Roach.

Coach Roach and I, we know each other. Coach Roach’s older brother was my roommate in college, so I’ve been knowing him and his family since he was probably in middle school. But being able to work with those guys every day, and coming into that defensive staff room, is great. They’re all great coaches and great men.”

The talent at Jones’ disposal includes the return of now-sophomore starters Jaylon Jones and Jalen Julius.

PETRE THOMAS

Jason Jones is starting his fifth season coaching at Ole Miss.

Veteran Ken Webster could rejoin the fold in the coming months, too. Webster, a senior, suffered a season-ending ACL injury in the Rebels’ season-opening loss to Florida State.

And there’s depth at corner in the form of junior Cam Ordway, who played minimally in 2016, junior college transfer Javien Hamilton and converted sophomore safety Myles Hartsfield. Ole Miss is five practices into spring football. Hartsfield was moved over after Julius broke his arm on the first day. Webster isn’t participating in spring practices.

Jones said Hartsfield has been the surprise of camp.

“Through five practices, the biggest surprise is Myles Hartsfield,” Jones said. “We signed Myles as a corner, but the need, physically, he could help us at safety, so last year we played him at safety. Well, we get to the first practice (of spring football) and Jalen Julius breaks his arm. We were short at corner with Kendarius Webster already being out. So I took Myles in the middle of oneon-ones and said, ‘Hey, Myles, today I need you to play corner.’ We had Breon Dixon and A.J. Moore playing the Star (defensive back/linebacker hybrid position in a 4-2-5 defense).

Myles hopped in there, and day one it looked like he had

been at corner his entire life.

He finished that day with a great practice. The next four days he just kept getting better and better. So far, he’s the biggest surprise of the spring.

“Jaylon Jones, he’s doing good. Just constantly pushing him to push himself to get better. Every day he’s growing up and he’s improving. Still a sophomore, so my challenge to him is to every day be consistent. Don’t have a great practice and then the next day is an OK one. Every day when you come out there, have a great practice. Montrell Custis is a guy we repped at corner some this spring so far.

Coach McGriff and I were talking about (how) he played safety in high school, played Star for us last year.

He could be that swing guy for us. We’re going to talk about it and see where he would best fit to help us. He gives some flexibility.

“Cam Ordway, his deal last year, I don’t know if it was just a maturity issue. All those guys mature at different times. But one thing I did challenge him with, before spring ball, was to lock in and be consistent. The first five practices he’s done some good things. He’s another young man, when you look

Road Warriors: Rebels hold off No. 1 Orange in NIT

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS WRITER

Ole Miss is now just one win away from a second trip to the Empire State. The Rebels stayed alive in the Men’s National Invitation Tournament Saturday morning thanks to an 85-80 win over No. 1 seed Syracuse inside the Carrier Dome. The No. 5 Rebels will now host either Georgia Tech or Belmont at The Pavilion on Tuesday night in the quarterfinals.

A win Tuesday will place the Rebels (22-13 overall) on a plane bound for New York City and a spot in the NIT Final Four. All games are played in the mecca of basketball, Madison Square Garden.

Ole Miss players didn’t get the luxury of spending spring break on the beach.

Instead of sand and surf, the Rebels traveled back and forth to the Northeast. The Rebels went to New Jersey in the first round, defeating Monmouth, before holding off the ACC’s Orange. In a game that featured runs from both teams, the Rebels always found a way to answer the challenge of being on the road in a hostile environment. Terence Davis continued to show his skills on a national stage, scoring a game-high 30 points in the win for the Rebels. Davis hit 11 of his 14 shots from the floor, including 6 of his 7 from behind the 3-point arc.

DeAndre Burnett scored 19 points for the Rebels. He was also hot from the outside, shooting better than 50 percent from the arc. Cullen Neal celebrated his birthday in style scoring 15 points, Saiz while Sebastian

rounded out the doubledigit scorers for the Rebels with 10 points. Saiz pulled down 12 rebounds to record his 22nd double-double on the year.

Ole Miss finished the game 29 of 62 from the floor, good for 46.8 percent. Syracuse (19-15) also made 29 shots but seven fewer 3-point attempts compared to the Rebels, who were 15 of 32 in that category. The Rebels overcame 15 turnovers by getting 22 points from the bench. Syracuse was limited to just nine points off the bench.

After being down by nine points in the late stages of the first half, the Rebels closed the first half with a flurry. Burnett hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to cap an 11-4 run. Ole Miss kept the momentum going into the second half, leading most of the

final 20 minutes of action.

Outside of two leads for Syracuse, the Rebels were ahead, or tied, with the Orange.

Down the stretch, the Rebels made their shots from the floor, and at the free-throw line, to keep the Orange at bay.

Burnett hit one of his five treys with 3:24 left to break a 74-74 tie, while another 3pointer from the Miami, Florida native with 1:22 remaining in the game gave the Rebels an 82-78 lead.

Details on tickets for Tuesday’s game were being finalized by Ole Miss. The game will be played at either 6 or 8 p.m., and be seen on ESPN2.

Belmont was playing at Georgia Tech this morning.

That can be seen on ESPN. Ole Miss is the only SEC team left in the NIT. Alabama and Georgia were both eliminated in the first round.

at him, he has great instincts and he’s physical. His approach since last season has been a lot better. He’s doing the little things off the field.

Not only is he working hard with (Ole Miss strength and conditioning) coach (Paul) Jackson, but he’s coming in on his own and doing extra.

He’s another young man coach McGriff and I talked about he could possibly be a Star or safety for us. He’s already 190 pounds. He’s another guy who we may look at switching him before spring is over just to give him some reps at another spot.

But he’s doing good so far.”

In the end, Jones is where he wants to be, and where he’s needed. He said he’s all in with helping getting Ole Miss back to national relevance following a disappointing 5-7 finish a year ago.

“We just want to go out and prove everybody wrong and show everybody that, hey, Ole Miss is a top program,” Jones said. “We want to get it back to the national level. I’m a guy, growing up, nothing was ever easy for me. Everything that I wanted, or the things I always ended up achieving, I had to work hard for. It’s no different here.”

some really big hits in timely situations that we didn’t do until that last hit.”

That last hit occurred in the Oxford ninth with Ben and Drew Bianco on second and first base respectively and with no outs. Stovall was supposed to sacrifice bunt to move the runners over and only have one out. After he failed to put the bunt down twice giving him two strikes, Stovall turned on a pitch inside and got it past the Clinton first baseman and scored Ben Bianco for the winning run. “(Baughman) told me to get the ball down, it didn’t matter where,” Stovall said. “We had Ben and Drew on first and second and he told me to get it down. I didn’t get it down. Drew was joking with me, he said ‘did you mean to not get it down on purpose?’ I said ‘no, it just happened like that’.”

Drew Bianco was the only Charger with multiple hits going 2-for-3 with a double, scoring twice, and was hit by a pitch twice.

Reginald Landing led Clinton with a 2-for-4 performance with a walk and scored three of the Arrow’s five runs in the contest. Landing also stole three bases. Adam Moncure also had a solid day for Clinton notching two hits including a triple with a walk and scoring a run also.

Ole Miss junior continues to dominate her competition

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS WRITER

One of the most dominant athletes, in any sport across the nation, throws a weighted iron ball across the air like it was a toy. Ole Miss junior Raven Saunders is one of most accomplished track and field athletes in college for a lot of different reasons.

She works up to four hours during her training regiment, and she is driven to get better.

Saunders has been on a roll for over a year. Almost since she arrived in Oxford from Southern Illinois, the South Carolina native has been winning shot put events and garnering status as an All-American.

This past weekend, Saunders set another new NCAA record at the national indoor meet. Her throw of 64 feet, 2.25 inches topped last year’s record, which she also set.

Saunders is ranked No. 1 in the world in the shot put, and is fourth all-time for women in the United States as it relates to indoor track. In a word, Saunders is special.

And she is all Ole Miss Rebel.

“It shows that all the hard work is paying off. It’s been a really long season and to be able to get the record at the last indoor meet of the year, it’s really special,” Saunders said. “I knew I had a really good chance to make a run and to do it was awesome.”

The 2015-16 season was a phenomenal one for Saunders, who also won the NCAA Outdoor Championship as well as the indoor title. Since the official season came to an end last summer, Saunders got busy in the weight room, trimming 20 pounds from her frame.

Compared to this time last season, Saunders feels like she is even better as a thrower.

“I’ve been gearing up to be even better than last year. I feel like the weight played a big role in allowing me to use my body size more affectively,” Saunders said. “Also, being with Coach (John) Smith for the second year here and the third year overall, we just have a better connection as far as training and what my body likes and

Earlier this week, Saunders was named National Athlete of the Year. doesn’t like. I just feel like this is where I need to be at.”

The incentive to do well again this coming outdoor season comes from within for Saunders, who looks at each year as a different challenge.

“This year, I have other teammates who are elite level throwers now and they constantly push me day in

and day out at practice,” Saunders said. “I’m always kept on my toes and I’m always thinking about the future and later on down the line when my career is over. I know the things I want under my belt and this is the time to work towards those things.”

Next weekend, Ole Miss will host the Joe Walker Invi-

tational, which is the first outdoor meet of the year, and the first on the new track. Saunders is hoping that a large home crowd comes out to cheer on the athletes.

“We’re really going to try and put on the biggest show we can this next weekend,” Saunders added. “We’re hoping to use these meets to

help move us forward to the conference championships and the NCAAs.” Saunders likes throwing outdoors and she has a good feeling about what she can do in the coming months, as well as what the team can accomplish.

“We have a really, really strong team this up and coming season. I’m excited to see what I do but also what my teammates are able to do,” she added. “Each day, I constantly remind myself why I’m doing what I’m doing, whether it’s 30 degrees or 90 degrees. The conditions are never perfect but there is always a goal to work toward.”

The success Saunders has garnered has resulted in more attention around campus.

“I have had people around town or on campus know who I am from the things I have been able to accomplish over the past year at Ole Miss and that’s really exciting and fun,” Saunders said. “It holds me to a higher standard for myself and my team.”
