Ole Miss wide receiver Laquon Treadwell signs balls for children at the EMS football camp at FNC Park.

Giving back OM's Treadwell a hit with local campers

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

A line of people half a football field long was the first thing to take in Saturday evening at FNC Park. Behind a net, sitting down at a table, sat Ole Miss wide receiver Laquon Treadwell, signing footballs by the dozen.

Parents of children wearing his jersey stopped to take pictures with their phones as their sons signed in to take part in the Everett Sports Marketing football camp. Treadwell, less than a month from being selected in the 2016 NFL Draft, was the focal point of the evening, and the biggest reason for the large turnout.

Dan Everett organized the camp that also featured instruction from area high school and college coaches. A total of 200 kids took part in the

camp, a turnout that is larger than normal. Treadwell didn't take a dime for his time, and 80 kids who couldn't afford the camp were able to attend and learn the fundamentals of the game.

“This camp has been open for registration for four weeks and it's a sold-out camp.

Thanks to Laquon, there are 80 on scholarship,” Everett said adding he just met Treadwell an hour and a half before the camp. “He responds to everything. He's a faith based guy and you look at his social media and you see that so much of it is about character.

His faith is important, so he's excellent role model for these kids.”

As soon as Treadwell found out that there would be a charge for the camp, he made sure to let Everett know he wanted to donate his time.

“I wanted to give back.

Growing up, I had plenty of camps around the neighborhood I couldn't pay for,” he said. “I knew the leverage that I had and I wanted to make it possible for anybody to come. I don't think they should be charging to come see me. I wanted to give back and show my appreciation.”

This is the eighth season that Everett has been putting on the camps, and last spring he did one with former Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace. Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott was also the focal point of a camp earlier this year in Starkville. There were 10 stations for the campers to go through and the event lasted four hours overall.

“Dak and Laquon's camps are the biggest ones we will have all year,” Everett said.

“Our average camp is about

120 kids, so 200 is a big camp.

This park is incredible. I've never been here before and sometimes when you to parks and rec, you might have a sand lot. One of my guys on staff said this place looks like a golf course.”

Treadwell started playing football at age 10 and everything he learned came from the coaches similar to those instructing at the camp.

“They taught me to take it seriously, the discipline. They showed me how to block, do the little things right and then you kind of take over with your natural ability,” Treadwell said.

“That's kind of how it ended up for me. I didn't start going to camps until the bigger ones, the recruiting ones and the ones that you get the stars off of. Once I went out and TURN TO TREADWELL PAGE 5

Nimble App makes fashion easy to find, wear

BY KATHRYN WINTER STAFF WRITER

Oxford’s own version of Rent the Runway has become a hit via the new app, Nimble. Nimble’s motto is “Why buy when you can borrow?” The app lets you log into it with your Facebook account, or you can log in with an email address. Here’s how it works: first download the app, and browse the feed until you find something you like. Click request, choose the drop off date, and users get to keep the dress for five days before returning it.

Users may upload their own dresses, and they set the price and deliver the dress to the borrower. For minor damages, Nimble will cover the cost totally.

For permanent damages, they will split the cost of replacing the dress with the person who borrowed it.

Jake Johnson, one of the programmers that helped

The Nimble Team gather together at their office located in Insight Park on the University of Mississippi campus. to create Nimble, said he sees a lot of growth numbers for the app on a daily basis.

“When we had our first rental in January, there were only a few dozen

users and even fewer dresses on the app,” Johnson said. “Now we are up to over 1,000 users and nearly 1,000 dresses on the app.”

Kristina Leigh, a sopho-

more Elementary Education major said she is glad that an app like this was created.

“I think this is a great app and a great idea! Now I can rent a dress for $12 before a date party and return it, without it taking up any closet space,” she said.

“One of our goals is to be across the SEC by fall.

Until recently, location services were not in place, so all of the dresses were in Oxford, but a few girls from Georgia and Auburn tried to rent them,” Johnson added. “Unfortunately, we weren’t able to handle the requests. But in the next update, you can choose where your dresses will show up and where you want to browse for dresses. With these new features, we are able to expand anywhere that girls want to list their dresses.”

Jessica Johnson, an Ole Miss student, uses Nimble frequently.

“I’ve followed the app closely since the beginning and I’ve posted some of my dresses from former date parties and formals,” she said. “My experience posting was very good and the app is constantly improving. Nimble was designed in a way that made posting, renting to, and renting from others very easy, understandable and quick for me to use. I’m really glad someone will get to enjoy my dresses in-

Another goal with Nimble is to make the app as beautiful as possible, but also create a product that caters to the needs of the users.

“Over the past semester, we never would have imagined that girls would be so willing to let other girls try on dresses,” Jake Johnson said. “Because of this information, we are adding a series of new features to make trying on dresses an integrated feature in our streamlined borrow process. The next update should be live soon.”

“By setting your ‘Where My Dresses Live’ address, your dresses will be visible nearby. Then we added a Borrows and Orders to the side menu. When you request a dress, you get a Borrows section in your side menu. The information in the Borrows menu tells you if the other person accepted your dress, when to pick it up, allows messaging between parties, and gives you the option to cancel if it doesn’t fit.”

When a person borrows

a dress, an Orders section is created in your side menu. From here, you can accept or decline a person’s request for your dress. You can also message the other party and see instructions for what to do next. If users allow notifications, Nimble will alert them when events such as acceptance of a request or messages occur.

“I think that in a time where social media is 24/7, we feel like we can’t repeat outfits, or we don’t want to be called out for it,” said Lindsey Carter, a junior accounting major.

“Nimble is a great way that we can borrow each other’s clothes, and you always feel like you wore something new at the fraction of actual retail cost!”

“We did an Instagram contest and the winner got to pick a dress of her choice from the app. She happened to wear that dress to a date party that I was attending. When she got on the bus, she did a runway strut and shouted ‘I love Nimble.’ In that moment, it made all the months of hard work feel worth it,” Jake Johnson said.

Oxford Film Festival to screen Sheriff's office warns residents of scam three Shakespeare films at Shelter FROM ALAN WILBURN

CHIEF INVESTIGATOR WITH THE LAFAYETTE COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

The weekend of April 11, the Oxford Film Festival in partnership with Shelter on Van Buren will be showing three Shakespearian films, courtesy of BBC Films.

While attending this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Oxford Film Festival Executive Director Melanie Addington met some representatives of BBC Films. The company is allowing art houses around the world to show film adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays, free of charge. It is their way of honoring the Bard on the 400-year anniversary of his death, which is this month.

Addington was aware that the First Folio was going on display at the Gertrude C. Ford Center and thought that it would be a great idea to take advantage of this opportunity and bring even a little more of Shakespeare to Oxford this month.

Her love for the Bard made this an easy decision to make.

“I was a literature major, so I spent a lot of time with Shakespeare in my college days,” Addington said. “I’m personally a huge fan. One of the big holes now missing in Oxford, for me, is the Shakespeare festival we had for years. I like that we’re able to celebrate his work in some different way this year” The Oxford Film Festival chose three films to feature that weekend: The Shakespeare screening will kick off on April 11 at 7:30pm with the 1963 “As You Like It” staring Vanessa

Redgrave and Ian Richardson. The film is about the overthrowing of Duke Senior and his daughters quest to find him after he was banished.

The April 12 film is the 1971 “Midsummer Night’s Dream” staring Lynn Redgrave, Edward Fox, Robert Stephens, and Michael Gambon. The comedy portrays events surrounding the marriage of mythical Gods.

The New York Times says, “The allure and cleverness of that film, not to mention its far more Shakespearean spirit, make it a hard act for a hodgepodge to follow.”

The final showing of the series on April 13 will be the

UM Theatre pays homage to Shakespeare with A Midsummer Night's Dream

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

The University of Mississippi’s Theatre Department is putting on their very own production of William Shakespeare’s iconic play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” opening April 15 at Fulton Chapel on campus.

Directing the play is Assistant Professor of Theatre Arts Matthew R. Wilson. He is currently in his second semester of teaching at Ole Miss, having just begun last fall. Before coming to the university he worked as an actor, fight choreographer, theatre instructor and director, among other things. He has been featured in films and shows, like the Netflix political drama “House of Cards.” He has also traveled the world performing a oneman-show style theatrical form known as commedia dell’arte. This is not his first time directing a Shakespeare play.

The theater department had chosen to produce this particular play before Wilson signed on to the department. Luckily, it’s one of his favorites.

“It’d been a while since the

Left to right, (seated) Mary Kate Halpin (assistant stage manager), Matthew R. Wilson (director), Anders Bandy (Helena), Riley McManus (Lysander), Emily Stone (Hermia), and John Brahan (Demetrius). university had done a Shakespeare play on the main stage,” he said. “This one has such a great mix of beautiful poetry and sweet love story and then just silly physical comedy and all of the magic. There are the three worlds of the Athenians, who are the lovers, and then the fairies and the mechanicals, who are just doing their best to put on a show. It’s three great little societies.”

“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is one of Shakespeare’s most famous and well-loved plays. It is a comedy that follows the tangled story of two pairs of Athenian lovers. Lysander and Hermia are madly in love.

Helena wants to be with Demetrius, but he prefers Hermia. Then there is the timeless issue of overbearing parents and young love being interfered with by the powers that be. But, the

story becomes a little more whacky and complicated when the lovers escape to the forest only to encounter some bumbling fairies. They don’t particularly help the situation.

In the play, junior theatre major Stephen Wagner portrays Puck, one of those bumbling fairies. He said that before working on this play, he’d always been intimated by the idea of performing Shakespeare. He

said that he has performed Shakespearian monologues, but that he never felt like he really got them. They were never something the young actor connected with. This show changed that for him.

“It’s always been a big fear of mine, that I wouldn’t get it or couldn’t wrap my brain around it,” Wagner said, speaking of the Bard’s works.

“With the help of Matt and some other professors in the department, it’s been an exciting challenge. I was worried that I would hate it, but Matt’s made it so much fun.

It’s so easy to understand once you get it.”

The play coincides with the Gertrude C. Ford Center’s display of the First Folio.

The First Folio is a collection of the Bard’s comedies, histories and tragedies that was published seven years after the playwright’s death by two of his friends that acted in several of his plays. Without the First Folio, the world would not have many of Shakespeare’s classics, including “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” April marks the 400-year anniversary of the playwright’s death. chaning.green@journalinc.com twitter: chaningthegreen

JJ Grey and the Mofros to return to the Lyric Friday

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

JJ Grey returns to the Lyric next Friday with his backing band the Mofros.

Grey has played Oxford a handful of times, performing at both the Lyric and Proud Larry’s. He said that he has always loved playing Mississippi, and hopes to one day get the full Grove experience before an Ole Miss football game.

Touring since 2000, JJ Grey is not new to the game. Since he started, he has taken very few breaks from being on the road. He said that he loves being able to travel and perform, but being away from family for extended periods of time can get old. Over the years, Grey has learned how to organize his tours so that he usually is not away from home for more than a week and a half at a time.

The way he tells it, Grey kind of ended up in music unintentionally. He had

family members that were musicians, as well as several friends that played. Eventually he decided to give it a shot. He tried different instruments and different styles until he discovered what he loved. Before he knew it, he was practicing and performing regularly.

He put together a plan and tried to make a go at it, to make a living off of his newfound love for music.

Grey has done well at this endeavor. In addition to his successful tours, his music has been featured in films, documentaries and television shows. One of his songs was used in the season three finale of the Netflix political drama “House of Cards.” He has also had an orchestra arrange and play several of his songs in the form of a medley. The orchestra also backed him on a couple songs that he performed on stage at the same concert.

“I don’t really know what we sound like,” Grey said

when asked what kind of music he plays. “That’s like describing yourself. It seems bizarre, I know, because we all see each other everyday, at some point, in a mirror brushing your teeth or whatever. You know what you look like, and yet

you have no idea what you look like. I can cite my influences all day long and discuss what I hope I sound like. It’s one of those things where people tell you what you remind them of, and you have your fingers crossed that it’s someone

you love and admire. Sometimes it is and sometimes it’s not. Everybody has a different record collection.”

His producer once described Grey’s sound as “front porch soul.” Grey liked that description, but said that there was no way

to be sure if it would connect with everyone that listens to him. People are going to form their own ideas about what they take away from his performances. That’s how music works, in his opinion.

Grey said that his love of performing narrows down to one thing: the purity of sharing an honest moment.

“I used to look at like it was to get away from reality,” he said. “I would go to a show to escape. I would look at that escapism as if I was doing something that was a sort of nonreality. I’ve realized that the only nonreality is all the problems that I’d created for myself and the rest of the world.

You go to a show to get away from all that, and that feels like escapism, when, really, it’s the opposite. It’s when you let go of all that stuff and enjoy being alive; that’s the reality.” chaning.green@jouranlinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

Service Rebels Annual UM Big Event a hit with locals

BY JOHN DAVIS OXFORD CITIZEN

Service was on the mind of students from the University of Mississippi Saturday as they filed into The Pavilion. The sixth annual Big Event got hundreds out of bed early in the effort to give back to residents of Oxford and Lafayette County as a whole.

Projects that were approved in advance were tended to and completed.

Fellowship between students was the reward, as was the satisfaction of a job well done.

Austin Powell, a junior from Corinth, served as the assistant director of the Big Event. It was the third year he offered his services for the project.

“I got involved with the Big Event my freshman year with the Rebel Roundup.

My freshman year, I was a leadership sub committee member and then my sophomore year, I was volunteer crew member director,” Powell said. “I feel like the Big Event appeals to why we all do it, a servant's heart. I remember when I walked up to the Rebel Roundup table how good they were about being warm and wel-

It's the same thing I did back home with Boy Scouts. A lot of this is what was instilled in me through Boy Scouts.”

The number of students who registered to take part in the Big Event was 1,500.

Powell said the goal is to always have “70 to 75 percent” show up to take part.

Some volunteers arrived at The Pavilion at 5:30 Saturday morning in order to set up.

“That's not an easy task to ask and to have 7, 800 students come out is incredi-

ble,” Powell added. “I'm very pleased with the numbers.”

Powell wasn't sure which project he would be assisting, but he was ready and excited to help anywhere he was told. Last year, he delivered mulch to the Orchard Church. He also transported other groups to different projects around the area.

“It's such a big task. It's a 12-month ordeal,” Powell said. “Right after this, we will start having executive officer committee meetings for next year and interviews and those will be done by May. Then over the summer, we will work on plan-

All the projects have to get approved and this year we had people go to the Oxford School District, Lafayette School District and hand out things to the parents. It's need based, not merit based so I feel it gives everyone a chance to be a part of the Big Event.”

Beth Fitts had three handfuls of volunteers at her

home Saturday morning.

Fitts has taken part in the Big Event since 2011 and the students were able to help do chores that are tougher for her to get completed.

One of the volunteers who stopped by to help was former Ole Miss linebacker Deterrian Shackelford, who gave a speech to the crowd during the opening ceremony.

“Sometimes we have the wrong perception of college kids because we see a lot of the hoopla in Oxford but the

idea is if you were just here in my back yard and you could see 15 people helping me, they care about people and they love this community,” said Fitts, who took time to bake brownies and cookies for the students.

“That's a wonderful image and I'm grateful for them.

My sweet husband died in 2010 and then God led his people to start this. Every year since 2011, they've been coming to help me.

There are a lots of things I can't do by myself and they do everything. They are just phenomenal.”

Fitts credited the leadership of the Big Event, saying she had five phone calls leading up to Saturday to make sure things are in place.

“They make sure what I want, where I live so people can get here on time,” Fitts added. “Definitely do it because it is worth it.”

Oxford Mayor George “Pat” Patterson and Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter took part in the opening ceremony prior to the Big Event, which has several different sponsors including Renasant Bank.

Exposing a boy to the game at an early age does have its benefits, Treadwell believed.

“When I was a kid, D Wade came to a little event and I remember shaking his hand and that still rings bells with me,” Treadwell said. “Just being able to meet him as a kid was great and now these kids are looking up to me. It will spark something in these kids that needs it and want to be great and be someone who is pursuing their dreams. I hope a lot of kids out here will be inspired by it.” john.davis@journalinc.com Twitter: @oxfordcitizenjd

Della Davidson teacher awarded $1,000 grant

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

Thursday morning at Della Davidson Elementary School, Michelle Robinson, Recycling Coordinator for the city of Oxford, presented Insights teacher Laurie Beth Ellis with a check for $1,000 from the Mississippi Recycling Coalition, MRC. The money is a grant provided by the coalition to help teachers provide materials and opportunities to teach students about sustainability issues.

Della has their own recycling initiative already in place. Each classroom has a bin where paper is collected for recycling. The kids take it out front of the school on a designated day, a truck collects it and a group of students then goes and collects the bins and returns them each to the proper classroom.

Through their work with the First Lego League, a robotics competition where participating students are also required to come up plans to improve their school, Della Davidson students decided it was time the school to focus on recycling more than paper. They wanted to have a place to recycle plastic and aluminum and be able to compost cafeteria food waste.

The fourth-grade girls were some of the most active in helping the school's composting program. students about the importance of sustainability.

Insights teacher Laurie Beth Ellis thought that was a wonderful idea.

She said that the city makes recycling paper, plastic and aluminum a very easy process, thereby making it an easier concept to teach. Having the kids learn more about recycling and how it helps the environment during their school days helps to build good habits for them to bring home with them and carry on for the rest of their lives. And it’s not just about recycling.

“We’re really interested in the composting,” Ellis said. “The thing with food waste is if it goes to a

landfill, you would think it would decompose naturally and be fine, but it actually causes toxic gases. It can also cause leachate, which is a liquid that forms and it then goes into the ground, and it is full of just terrible things. When it gets into the ground, it in turn gets into our food and our water systems.”

Robinson informed Ellis about the grant being issued by the MRC and encouraged her to apply. Ellis worked with fellow Insights instructor Sarah Rowlett to come up with a draft. After some research and planning, the pair had a grant proposal written and sent it off.

Some months later, they found out they had been awarded the grant.

Ellis plans on using the money to provide large recycling bins in the cafeteria where students will be able to recycle their plastic and aluminum. There are also plans for the cafeteria workers to be provided with a compost bin to dispose of all of their food waste like potato skins, fruit peels and so on.

The plan is for that compost to be used to help the school’s garden.

School principle LaTonya Robinson said that she was thrilled when she found out the school had received the grant.

“Well, I think it ‘s a wonderful thing,” she said. “Mrs. Ellis is always doing so many things to help with our garden and our teaching of healthier lifestyles for our children. Composting or anything helping with our garden has become such a big part of our education at Insights. I’m just impressed with her at all times. She’s always looking to do something beyond what we normally put out there.

I’m excited to see what comes out of it.” chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

McCrory has seen this year's Chargers put in a lot of hard work

H

JOHN DAVIS

ard work is something the Oxford Charger baseball team isn’t afraid of.

A number of the Chargers put in extra work in order to be the best they can at a sport that isn’t very forgiving.

Baseball is a game of failure, and finding a way to overcome it.

Duke McCrory has seen a number of the Chargers grow, and mature, over the past few years. He is a private hitting instructor in Batesville, and the past few springs, he was helping instruct the Lafayette Commodores.

McCrory is a big fan of the Chargers. He helps instruct 17 baseball players associated with the program at either the high school or middle school level. Some of the names include Grae Kessinger, Houston Roth, Sage Mullins, Thomas Dillard and Giles Lamar. McCrory has been instructing players for the past 15 years, and he said if he had to label a year, this was the most special because the crop of players he has coming in are the “most business like I’ve ever dealt with.”

“And the majority of those are Oxford Chargers. They come in and they take care of their business,” McCrory said adding he was very proud when Kessinger, Dillard and Roth signed with the Ole Miss Rebels.

There are games that McCrory gets to attend in person, but a good number of the contests he has to watch via Twitter or through the Internet via score casting software.

“There are times where I catch myself on the side of the road where I’m watching them pitch by pitch,” McCrory said. “Every time they come in, we talk about their previous games, their previous at bats. Then we work from there. Even though I’ve looked at it, I’ll talk about their bad at bats or whatever. I expect them to hit those lasers. I want TURN TO CHARGERS PAGE 13

Oxford's Charlie Kendricks has the goal of pole vaulting 10 feet and winning the individual state championship in May.

Kendricks ready to make her own mark

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

Charlie Kendricks is just starting to scratch the surface in regards to her pole vaulting career at Oxford High School.

Last spring was the first time she vaulted. Of course, she did have success advancing to compete in the MHSAA Class 5A state meet.

She finished second overall, and the seniors she competed against last May have moved on. She has confidence that an even better result, winning state, is possible. The next step is use the remaining meets to her advantage.

“I feel like I’m stronger and faster than I was last year,” she said. “I’m jumping the same, if not a bit higher, than I was at the state meet. So I’m looking to improve by my grade. I jumped nine feet last year and I want to jump 10 this year.”

Kendricks is a sophomore, so if she wins this season, she could be a three-time state champion. Her personal best in a meet is 9 feet, but she has cleared 9 feet, 3 inches in practice sessions. In an ideal scenario, Kendricks would like to be jumping an additional nine inches by the state meet.

Five Minutes with

Charlie Kendricks Pole vault runs in the Kendricks family. Her brother Sam is the nation’s top pole vaulter, and he has plans to compete in the 2016 Olympics. Track, in general, is a big part of her family. Her other brother Tom threw the discus at OHS, while her father, Scott, coached the cross country and track teams for years at OHS before moving on to just assist Sam. “I just found that pole vault is the funnest thing. I really enjoy it,” she said. “I want to do my best and work hard.

Occasionally, I will practice with (Sam) and he will come out to the high school practices sometimes. He is instrumental in my success.”

Charlie Kendricks added that it was really neat to have her father be her coach.

“Not only do I trust him with my life, which is really important in pole vault, he’s a

really excellent coach and he’s gotten me where I am right now,” she said. “It’s not as scary as when you’ve done this for a while, but when you’re first starting, it’s pretty intimidating. There is a lot of trust involved, you have to trust your coach.”

Scott Kendricks had a big smile on his face when talking about his daughter, and her early career.

“As long as she is having fun and feels like she is being competitive, daddy is happy,” he said. “You have to work at an extremely high level to get extremely good. We’re working at what we consider a high school level. She grew up around it, so I would say she has an advantage. She is easy to coach like her brother. She has good technique and she is getting better all the time.”

Sophomore Charlie Kendricks has improved as a vaulter thanks to the help of her coach, and father, Scott. standpoint, Charlie Kendricks said. She added that she knows how to pole vault, so the key was to become a better athlete on the pole.

As for the Lady Chargers, she was hopeful as to what the final five weeks or so could bring.

“We had a couple of girls returning and of course we had some seniors graduate last year. There is a lot of potential on this team and I feel like we could do really well this season,” she said.

Bishop paces Commodores in win over Bulldogs

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

NEW ALBANY – Greg Lewis knows his Lafayette baseball team is getting better. The Commodores showed it this past week with two one-sided wins over New Albany. Friday night, LHS defeated New Albany's Bulldogs 15-3 in six innings.

Mack Bishop had his best outing on the mound, while early offense allowed him to pitch with even more confidence.

“To be where we were a week and a half ago to all of a sudden look like we're playing a little bit better baseball, that's great,” Lewis said as he walked to the team bus. “I felt like whoever jumped on the other team would take advantage of the game, at our place, or here. I just felt like we came out with great enthusiasm

and the guys were ready to go. We got to their pitcher quickly and it just kept going from there.”

Lafayette never trailed in the contest, scoring two runs in the top of the first inning and then tacking on six more in the second. The Commodores had six hits in the first two frames, while Will Christian, Khalil Martin and Bishop each had three hits to lead the offense.

“Mack was on base every time, Khalil had three hits and we talked about his approach. He told me that he just wasn't ready his first time up but after that, you could just see a different attitude when he got the plate,” Lewis said. “He did a great job, but there were a lot of guys that had good swings tonight.”

Martin finished with three RBIs in the win for Lafayette. He drove in two in the second with a double.

2 seed,” Lewis said about playing the Warriors on Tuesday night at home. “I'm glad that we start off at home. It's a great place to get our guys back out there.

If we can win that one, then we'll see what we can do against Ripley.”

Bishop logged five innings of work in his start, allowing just two runs on five hits. He finished with seven strikeouts during his time on the bump.

“He did a great job, a lot better. It was the Mack I was waiting to see,” Lewis said.

“It was his best game, a lot more confident out there.

And you can see the guys behind him bouncing JOHN DAVIS around a lot more. It was a Lafayette's Khalil Martin (17) scores during the second inning of Friday night's game with great win.”

Sexton goes distance as Bulldogs take Game 2

BY PARRISH ALFORD DAILY JOURNAL

STARKVILLE – Eighteen innings into the weekend, it looks like Mississippi State has two elite pro prospects.

Less than 24 hours after Dakota Hudson’s four-hit complete game, the No. 11ranked Bulldogs clinched the series against rival Ole Miss with Saturday’s four-hit complete game from Austin Sexton in a 6-2 victory before a crowd of 11,515 at Dudy Noble Field.

The Bulldogs (20-7-1, 6-2 SEC) have won their first three conference series and will go for the sweep today at 2 p.m.

For the first time in five games, No. 13 Ole Miss was not facing a starter ranked in the top six in earned run average in the SEC. It didn’t matter. Sexton mixed his pitches and held the Rebels (20-7, 2-6 SEC) with only one hit until the eighth inning when they scored two runs on three hits and an error.

For Sexton, the complete game was redemption. He

was unable to finish his start against Ole Miss in Game 3 in Oxford last year. Sexton went 8 1/3 innings, and Ole Miss scored five in the ninth before winning 8-7 in 10 innings to sweep the series.

“When we play Ole Miss, there’s a little bit extra added on,” Sexton said. “But it’s also motivation from last year with the way that game ended. It drove me nuts. I told a bunch of family members that I wanted this game and was ready for it.”

Shut out in last week’s Game 3 against South Carolina, Ole Miss had scored just one run in 25 innings before the eighth inning Saturday.

The Rebels have lost five straight.

Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco credited Sexton but said his team suffered from too many “non-competitive at-bats.”

Outfielder J.B. Woodman agreed.

“He was good, but we fed into it by swing at off-speed in the first and not hitting the fastball.”

Ole Miss is batting .161 in its last four games.

Rebels starter Chad Smith was gone after 1 1/3 innings, and for the 11th-straight game an Ole Miss weekend pitcher did not last six innings.

Redshirt freshman Brady Feigl was solid behind Smith did not allow a run in five innings before tiring at the end of a 5 1/3 inning stint.

With strong gusts blowing left to right across the diamond Mangum got a fly ball up and over the right field fence in the first. It was his first career home run, and MSU led 1-0.

It was a harmless inning otherwise as Smith got outs with a tap back to the mound, a fly ball and a called strikeout.

He fooled few MSU hitters in the second. The inning began with an infield hit but included three hits of greater pizazz, a walk and, with the bases loaded, a hit batter.

Feigl relieved and got a double-play ball on his first pitch, but the Bulldogs scored three in the inning. parrish.alford@journalinc.com Twitter: @parrishalford

breath baseball. It’s such a commitment for them to drive 30 minutes to the place and then back,” McCrory said. “They never show that they’re tired. And if I look on the books and I see a Charger, I’m excited.”

This is the first spring in several that McCrory hasn’t been a hitting consultant on the diamond. He has enjoyed watching the Chargers play from behind the net.

“I’m so nervous for them, like a big brother compared to if I was on the field with them,” McCrory said. “I love it, I really do.”

Oxford players aren’t the only ones that come to McCrory. He instructs players from Madison Central and Northwest Rankin as well as players close by from South Panola and Magnolia Heights, which is located in Senatobia.

“This year, 75 percent of the people that come, wear the royal blue and gold,” McCrory said. “Houston and Sage and Giles and Preston (Perkins) come on Mondays at 7. And right before they come, it’s some young Chargers, Trip Maxwell, Hayden Camp-

them to tell me about their bad ones so we can improve those.”

Dillard has been on fire at the plate for the Chargers. He had nine home runs and 23 RBIs heading into the second meeting with Saltillo on Friday. McCrory said Dillard was “an absolute beast” in regards to the way he hits the ball and a “true businessman” in regards to his work ethic.

“His hands are so explosive. He can hit balls over 400 feet. It’s just amazing,” McCrory added. “He’s a student of the game and he listens. We watch tons of video and critique certain things. When he gets that foot down, as my dad would say, Katy bar the door.”

McCrory’s hitting facility in Batesville is called “The Dome.” It’s about 3,400 square feet and it has various cages for the athletes, as well as a seating/lounge area. McCrory said the Chargers come in, get loose and start working.

Before McCrory decided to make baseball his ca-

reer, he was a pharmaceutical representative for 12 years. He had an idea to develop a hitting facility on his own and if wasn’t for Michel and Tina Babb, who own the building that he worked out of, it may not have happened.

“They provided me with

space and they have just been angels to me,” McCrory said, who instructed the Babb’s son, Mitchel, who went on to play at Meridian Community College and Ole Miss. “I’ve always wanted to make a difference in a kid’s life.”

Dodgers, and Cody Reed, who was a standout at NWCC and then off to play in the minor leagues, are two players that McCrory has instructed personally, or through his summer team, the Dukes. He has a good relationship with the baseball staff at NWCC. “They call all the time and ask who I’ve got and who are the next up and comers,” McCrory said.

“I’ve even sent them video of kids that aren’t in middle school yet. I’ll do that with other coaches, too just to help the kids out. I deal with professional scouts quite a bit, especially this year.”

The goal is to keep busy with the business. The slots during the season are booked, and the summers have always been full with players looking to stay busy. McCrory is busy most days of the week, but he doesn’t instruct on Saturday. That’s the time he likes to go see his players live, and in person.

Ole Miss takes down MSU in tennis action

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

In front of a record crowd of 1,030 Friday night at the Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center, the Ole Miss men’s tennis team took down arch-rival and No. 25 ranked Mississippi State 4-3.

Needing a big win to stop a four-match losing streak, the Rebels started the day with both Zvonimir Babic and Gustav

Hansson dealing with illness, ultimately sending Hansson to the hospital.

Both decided to play, and both came up big.

Babic teamed up with another hero on the day, freshman Filip Kraljevic, to win 6-4 at No. 1 doubles. Hansson and Stefan Lindmark closed out a 6-4 win at No. 3 doubles to give Ole Miss the early 1-0 lead.

With the doubles point in hand, Hansson and the

coaches met and decided he would play singles.

Turns out that was a good decision.

State tied it up with a straight set win on court four, but Lindmark finished off 22nd-ranked Mate Cutura 6-2, 6-4 at No. 1 singles to put the Rebels back on top 2-1.

The Bulldogs earned a straight-set win on court six as well, to square the match at 2. The remaining three matches would go

three sets with the Rebels coming up big in two of them for the win.

Hansson won the first set on court two against Nuno Borges 6-4, but the Bulldog ran away with the second set 6-0. Hansson broke early in the third and held for 6-3 to give the Rebels a 3-2 lead.

Moments later, the crowd erupted, as Kraljevic aced 80th-ranked Rishab Agarwal on match point at No. 3 singles, to

complete a 3-6, 6-1, 7-5 rally for the clinching victory. Kraljevic led 5-2 in the final set before Agarwal tied it up. Kraljevic broke again, which allowed him to serve it out.

“We got together as a team on Monday and talked about a lot of things and what we needed to do moving forward. I think everyone left the meeting feeling good,” Ole Miss coach Toby Hansson said.

“The crowd today was

electric! You saw today how the guys really enjoy playing in front of a big crowd. They gave us that extra push; it was an absolute game-changer. We really appreciate everybody coming out today and would love to see them all again Sunday.”

Ole Miss hosts Alabama today starting at 1. It's free sundaes for the crowd.
