Between 3 and 4,000 people attended the Celebration of Lives public memorial at Tad Smith Coliseum Saturday morning.The service honored the memories of the six men and women who passed away in last week's tragic plane crash.

Celebration of Life Community gathers to remember crash victims

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

A crowd made up of friends, family and community members estimated between 3 and 4,000 gathered in Tad Smith Coliseum Saturday morning to celebrate the lives lost in the plane crash that shook the Oxford community to its core a week ago. That tragic crash claimed the lives of six prominent citizens who not only provided great business services to those among us, but also offered tremendous leadership and generosity.

The University of Mississippi’s former Dean of Students Sparky Reardon organized the joint memorial for Drs. Jason and Lea Farese, Dr. Michael and Kim Perry and Dr. Austin and Angie Poole. Representatives from the three churches the families attended stood atop a stage that was placed in the middle of the coliseum floor. Family, friends and close colleagues were seated in rows in front of the stage while other mourners filled the stadium seating. One section in particular stood out with a vibrant splash of orange as members of the Yalobusha Giants youth baseball team stood in uniform to pay respects to their late coach Jason Farese.

The UM String Quartet played Spring from Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons after Pastor J.D. Shaw of Grace Bible Church began the event with an opening prayer.

Shaw prayed that God would comfort the families and friends left behind in the wake of this tragedy and that, as time progresses, the happy memories the community shares of the three couples lost might offset a fraction of the crushing grief everyone affected is feeling.

Dr. Brant Kairit followed Shaw by delivering a remembrance through sniffles and chuckles over fond memories he held of the three families. Kairit runs his dental practice out of Senatobia and held both personal and professional connections to the six individuals being honored at the service. He said that one word in particular comes to mind when he thinks of all three couples: passionate. He described them as passionate about their friends, family and careers.

Kairit’s connection to the Poole family goes back to dental school where he first met Austin. He later became acquainted with Angie at a crawfish boil. The speaker said that Dr. Poole had perfected the art of boiling crawfish as well as the celebration surround-

ing it. This was met with several nods and tearful smiles from those seated before the stage.

Jason Farese and Kairit were teammates in college when the pair played baseball at Vanderbilt. The two also attend dental school together, where Kairit lived with Michael Perry, being roommates for two full years before Perry moved out and married Kim. He said that he considered himself very blessed to have held friendships with all of them.

“The media has been constant in saying that we have lost four passionate dentists this past week,” intoned Kairit, speaking into a microphone as he stood at a podium bearing the Ole Miss emblem. “We did; we lost four exceptional dentists, but we also lost a caring nurse practitioner and we lost a skilled business woman. But they were all so much more than their professions. They were loving sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles. They were trustable, fun-loving friends, donors and supporters of their community. We all know this is important, and it’s really important that their kids hear this: of all the many titles TURN TO MEMORIAL PAGE 6

M.I.C Harder 9000 to hold art show at Bottletree

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

Local artist Michael Carter is having a special art show at Bottletree Bakery next Tuesday where he will be incorporating what he refers to as the four Elements of Hip-Hop in his showcase titled “Bringing ‘88 Back.”

With his artwork, Carter operates under the pseudonym M.I.C. Harder 9000. M.I.C. Harder being wordplay on the similar sounding Mike Carter. The letters stand for Mike “Icecold” Carter. The showcase being held at Bottletree is Carter’s opportunity to pay homage to what he considers to be hip-hop’s golden age, 1988 through 1993. Run DMC, Kid N’ Play, Rakim, boomboxes and cassette tapes are just some of the subjects of his paintings for the showcase. He is hoping to have about 40 or 50 original pieces available for sale at the event. Those who work in the restaurant business receive a 10 percent discount on paintings.

Carter has been a part of the Oxford community for well over a decade now. He was originally born and raised in Detroit, but relocated to rural Mississippi at the age of 17.

After attending Northwest Commu-

nity College for graphic design and art, he moved to Oxford and began working in the restaurant industry 12 years ago. He first began doing art shows about three years ago and has not really stopped since.

Carter incorporates different tones into his art, colliding colorful graffiti with bright colors, unusual shapes and black stenciled art that features both clean lines and few fuzzy edges. The effect is an iteresting one that would be impossible to find in the studio of any other local or regional artist. Carter has a unique way of blending the blues culture of the South he adopted with the urban hip-hop culture he was born into. Most of his paintings feature different boarders that frame the painting. The borders all have something to say in relation to the painting. They are literally messages encoded by Morse code or Swahili or something else. He said he likes the different textures hidden messages add and that you can look at most of his paintings 10 different times and notice something new each time. “It’s more than just the main subject,” he said.

The showcase being held Tuesday is more than an art show. Carter said that he wants to incorporate the four basic features of the hip-

hop culture that dominated the late ‘80s and early ‘90s: breakdancing, MCing, DJing and graffiti. There will be a step show being provided by an Ole Miss fraternity and a trivia game where someone will win one of Carter’s paintings if they can best everyone in their knowledge of old school hip-hop.

“I wanna use this show as a chance school people on the history of hip-hop,” Carter said. “I wanna school the new school on the old school, I guess you could say. A lot of kids are trying out these different fashions without knowing where it all comes from. The tall hair and the baggy pants all started somewhere.

I was always told to never get into anything without knowing something about it.”

There will also be an unfinished piece of art that everyone who attends the show can sign however they want. Once that piece is auctioned off, the proceeds will go to the Lafayette Oxford Public Library as a donation from Carter. He said that libraries have a special place in his heart and he wants to do what he can to support Oxford’s. The showcase is free to attend.

The University of Mississippi's Pride of the South band will no longer play "Dixie" or versions of the song. The decision was made by Ole Miss Athletics, and supported by Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter.

No more 'Dixie' at Ole Miss football

BY JOHN DAVIS OXFORD CITIZEN

For some Ole Miss fans, football games this fall will feel different without “Dixie” or “Dixie Fanfare” to listen to. For others, a change, without “Dixie” was needed. In a decision recommended by Ole Miss Athletics Director Ross Bjork, and supported by Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter, the “Pride of the South” band will no longer play any variation of “Dixie” during games. Mississippi Today first re-

ported the news Friday.

“The newly expanded and renovated Vaught-Hemingway Stadium will further highlight our best traditions and create new ones that give the Ole Miss Rebels the best home field advantage in college football," the statement from the university said. "Because the Pride of the South is such a large part of our overall experience and tradition, the Athletics Department asked them to create a new and modern pregame show that does not

include Dixie and is more inclusive for all fans."

“It’s a fan friendly environment on game day in that we are inclusive,” Bjork told Mississippi Today.

“That should include our words, actions and pageantry. And music also goes into that. We felt that it’s the right thing to do. It’s time to move forward. It fits in with where the university has gone in terms of making sure we follow our creed, core values of the athletic department, and that all people feel welcome.”

According to that story, band directors knew about the change this summer.

A more inclusive band performance isn't a surprise after the university has distanced itself from the song for several years. It was in 2009 that former Ole Miss Chancellor Dr. Dan Jones asked the band to stop playing “From Dixie With Love” after fans yelled “the South will rise again” during a verse.

Cane stands in a water bowl that is definitely intended for drinking as he poses for the camera. Caine was recently very ill after having drank from stagnant water, likely water that was accumulating in the water station of the Oxford Dog Park.

Community members raising money to improve dog park

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

Members of the Oxford community are working to raise money to make improvements to the Oxford Dog Park.

The dog park is located on McElroy Drive beside the Oxford Lafayette Humane Society. The park is owned and operated by the city and is not associated with the humane society. Existing less than ten years, the water area of the park is in severe need of an upgrade, according to Connor McDermot.

McDermot is an engineer at Winchester and is leading the charge to raise funds for the improvements to the park.

“This area is mainly to rinse to the dogs off,” McDermot said while standing over the dilapidated water station. “When it’s really hot out here, we’ll have a small pool set up for the dogs to play in and cool off. When you’re out here in the summer, it’s 90 degrees and the dogs get hot really quickly. Dogs don’t sweat, so they need a little help cooling down sometimes.”

The park is the only public property where dogs can run around without a leash in Oxford, making the area a popular spot for those living in apartments or condos without yards. McDermot has been coming to the park every day for well over a year now. It has become his daily ritual to get off

from work and go to the park, giving his two dogs the room to run around that their apartment complex does not provide.

But there is a major problem with the water area of the dog park and the main motivator behind this fundraiser: the water station does not drain. Frequenters of the dog park said that the area can hold stagnant water for weeks after a rainstorm. This water can then become infested with bacteria and therefore a health hazard for every creature at the park.

Jenn Locey has been coming to the dog park since June, when she moved to Oxford. She takes her dog Caine to the park after work so he can run off some energy and she can meet up with some of the human friends she has made through the park.

“I’ve noticed that the area just holds a lot of water and when that happens, the water turns green,” Locey said, indicating the water station. It gets pretty gross. Caine actually got sick a couple weeks ago and the thinks it was from drinking standing water. Coming here everyday, it was probably from that. He’s better now, but we have to make this place safer and better for our dogs.”

McDermot already has a solution to this problem drawn up.

The engineer has plans drawn up for a new watering station. He wants to build a new station so that it is essentially a deck raise a

Beneath this deck will be a specially constructed drainage bed that will prevent water from accumulating by allowing excess water to escape through an inlaid drainage pipe that dumps excess water into a nearby drainage ditch that is already in use beside the park.

There are also plans for the deck to include an 8-foot, self-draining pool that would be set into the deck.

McDermot has been working on the project with is friend Steve Burton who works for the city as an environmental engineer. The pair have gotten the blessing to proceed with the project from the

city and even Mayor Pat Patterson himself. The mayor described the park as a great addition to the city.

The money being raised will also go toward funding a privacy screen that will separate the dogs’ line of vision from a nearby ball field.

The only thing needed to make the improvements at this point is funding. McDermot has set up a GoFundMe page to crowdfund the project. Those wishing to contribute can visit www.gofundme.com and search “Oxford, MS Dog Park.” chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

Pocket points provide unique discounts

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

Most college students like their phones. That is a simple assertion to make because nearly everyone does.

The amount of work, planning and socializing that can be accomplished on mobile devices is higher than it has ever been, and is only expected to grow in the coming years.

Mitch Gardner and Rob Richardson, co-founders of Pocket Points, realized this became a problem when college students were more interested in focusing on their phones than their professors. The two were students themselves at California State University, Chico in the spring of 2014 when they realized there was problem and that a solution could be reached.

“Rob and I met and we both observed this problem of students constantly being on their phones during class,” Gardner said. "We tried to think of how we could solve that problem. We had all these different ideas but then we realized that if we could get some really great incentives from local merchants to, we could get kids to lock their phones when they’re in class, earn points and then go and redeem these points at local merchants.”

They started with this plan in their own college town first. Richardson, having a background in computer science constructed the app, which would later become Pocket Points, that summer while Gardner focused on the business

side of things. He would approach businesses and ask them to contribute to the app. Each business would pay for what is effectively advertising directed only at college students, a market that retailers in college towns are always

make sure the students are actually in class. Once they reach a certain amount of points, they can redeem them for discounts at local retailers or free food or drinks at local eateries, effectively incentivizing students to put their phones down and pay attention in class.

The app first launched at Chico Sate in fall 2014, and Gardner said that within a couple weeks nearly 30 percent of the student population were signed up and actively using the application. It took off and gained momentum more quickly than they had anticipated. The duo dropped out of school to focus on the business and now have 30 full-time employees and student ambassadors for the app at more than 65 major universities across the country.

Ole Miss has over 8,000 students who use the app. The application launched in the area in 2015. Local business like Miss Behavin, Campus Book Mart, GNC, Sunsations, El Milagro’s, Yaya’s, 6 N’ Tubbs Pizza, High Point Coffee and several other business singed up to offer discounts to students using the app.

“There was obviously a problem,” Gardner said. “Rob and I didn’t do this just to start a company; we wanted to solve a problem. Much of our generations, especially students are almost addicted to their cellphones. Being able to looking to hit as hard as they can.

The way it works is that anytime a help mitigate that problem is intrinsistudent is on campus, the longer they cally motivating.” leave their phone untouched, the more points they earn.

OPC to charge for game day parking

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

The Oxford Park Commission will now open their parking lots during Ole Miss home games for $20 a spot.

The city’s Board of Aldermen gave the OPC permission to do so this past Wednesday during its meeting. The idea for this came about during an OPC board meeting when it game to Director Scott Gaines’ attention that there were some students who were charging people to park on city proper during game days. This new system will prevent any unauthorized persons form making money illegally off of city property while ensuring that the OPC has an addition source of revenue.

If every parking lot is filled to capacity under this new plan, the OPC will be generating a minimum of $3,380. That estimate will likely grow as the park commission adds addition parking lots.

If the ground is dry enough, the OPC might even open some of the grassy areas for parking, generating even more revenue. Currently, the OPC is looking at

renting out parking spaces at the Oxford City Pool, the Activities Center and the Stone Center. Certain spots at the Activities Center will remain open and free for anyone who wishes to use the center’s facilities.

There will also be expenses for parking cones, proper signage, tents and other essential equipment that will be needed to ensure this new process runs as smoothly as possible.

Though the funds will be put into Gaines’ primary plan for the funds is to put them toward the Leisure Lifestyles of Oxford program. This is a program specially designed to offer programming for community members over the age of 40 at little to no cost. The program currently runs on a deficit, making it extremely difficult to maintain. It is currently the OPC program most in need of funding.

“This is another way that will really help us fund our programs,” Gaines said.

“We don't have an income for the LLO program at all. This would be a way to help fund that program, but this money will go to lots of things. We have one

combined account that we use to fund all the programs, and any revenue we generate from this parking plan will go into that fund. Any money that we make will be going to offset that LLO deficit, but, like I said, it’s all the same account.”

No shuttles will be picking up at these

locations. However, those parking at the activities center will have no more than a mile and a half at most to walk to get to Vaught Hemmingway Stadium. chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

Kairit went on to say that he was glad to know that each person who died was a follower of Jesus Christ and that he himself was confident he would see all six of them again someday. He then spoke about each person individually reflecting on memories he had of every one. He spoke about their attitudes, their interests and the things that he admired most about them.

“I believe the Lord blesses us with humor as one coping mechanism in order to help us deal with sadness and tragedy here on Earth,” Kairit said, closing his speech. “And I can assure you that each of these individuals who enjoyed life so much would want us to smile often and remember the great times we shared with them.

This year the Oxford and Lafayette County Chamber of Commerce are working with Visit Oxford to offer a unique attraction this holiday season: Christmas Tours.

The tours will give people the chance to explore the festive lighting and interior décor of local homes. The first tour is called the Night of Lights and the second has been named the Deck the Halls tour. Both tours were designed to give the people of Oxford and Lafayette County the chance to explore how neighbors decorate both the inside and outside of their homes in celebration for the Christmas season.

Jeremy Roberts works at the University of Mississippi Center for Student Success and First Year Experience. Starting the Christmas tours to Oxford was his idea, and he is chairing the committee for the project. It all began last December at a wreathmaking class Roberts attended through UM’s Communitversity.

The woman teaching the class is a local florist who participates in Water Valley’s Christmas tour, where she lives. After speaking with the woman, Roberts got together with Pam Swain from the Chamber and the pair decided to give it a shot. They wanted to bring a Christmas tour to Oxford.

Roberts said they are modeling their version of the tours after the way Water Valley has been running theirs for a number of years. The plan for the tours is to have several homes within the city and the county signed up to participate. In the Deck the Halls tour, homeowners participating will open a minimum of two rooms in their home to the community so that people can walk through and see how they decorate for Christmas. For example, some homeowners could choose to display their dining

room and their den. Those participating in the tour will be able to come into the house and see the way the homeowners set their table for Christmas dinner in the dining room. Tourgoers can then walk into the den and see how the family decorates their Christmas tree, fireplace and windows.

The other tour will be a tour of lights. This tour will be happening on Friday, December 9, the night before the Deck the Halls Tour. For this tour, people will drive around the city and county looking at elaborate light displays in front of homes. Both of the tours being offered will not be guided. Each person or group of people interesting in going on the tour will be given a map that shows where each house participating is located. They will then be able to drive in their own vehicles along the tour route, which has yet to be determined.

Visit Oxford and the Chamber are still looking for more homeowners to sign up to participate in the tours. They are looking for local people who would be willing to open their homes to share family decorating traditions with their neighbors, as well as people who are just

interested in putting on the best Christmas light show possible. Roberts said that they are not necessarily interested in showing off the fanciest home with the most expensive decorations or pitting neighbor against neighbor in a competition, but rather allowing people a rare insight to real family traditions that accurately demonstrate how different people celebrate the season. The tours are meant to celebrate the way we celebrate.

“I love Christmas,” Roberts said when asked why he has been working so hard to make these tours a reality. “If I could decorate my house and yard for Christmas year round and not look like a crazy person, I would do it.

I love literally every aspect of Christmas. I loved it growing up, and I love it now. I want Oxford get more involved with Christmas as a whole. I think this is a way for us to do that.”

Those interested in signing up to have their homes on the tour can email the committee at deckthehalls@oxfordms.com. Applications will be taken until October 17. chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

AROUND SQUARE BEYOND JOHN DAVIS OXFORD CITIZEN

Local volleyball teams making strides in right direction Two weeks into the season is still too early to claim that a certain win is the one that defined the season. However, the Lady Chargers' 3-2 victory over Center Hill this past Tuesday was a good one. A real good one, and another building block to what the team wants to accomplish this year, which is the state tournament in Madison.

Center Hill had the Lady Chargers on their heels early in the contest. Then the Lady Chargers pulled themselves off the ground, collected their minds and rallied. Then they won the second set to take a 2-0 lead. Then, Center Hill took the momentum away.

With the match tied at 2-2, either of the two teams could have won the decisive set. Oxford dug deep and earned the win. It wasn't the first victory of the season — the Lady Chargers currently have six wins overall heading into Tuesday's big matchup with Lake Cormorant — but it was the most impressive win considering the opponent and circumstances.

“Center Hill is always competitive. I'm proud of us for turning around and fighting back and being in it and not just giving up, which we have had problems with that in the past,” OHS coach Tara Ross said. “Part of our deal this year is being mentally tough. And I felt like we really delved deep and really tried to pull something out, to win, in this fifth set.

We haven't done that all year. We have only played three or won in two out of three. I was proud of them for that.”

Oxford did defeat Middleton, a school from Tennessee, 3-1 on Thursday, but Center Hill is still the most competitive match of the season. It has been the one that has challenged the most, and in a good way. Everybody played a role in the win. That's another good thing to point out. Oxford has a lot of veterans on the club, but there are some underclassmen like McLain Hill that has made an impact.

Oxford's Chris Cutcliffe earned his first win as the head coach of the Chargers Friday night. Oxford rallied to defeat Southaven 2620.

Grit N Grind Oxford rallies to give Cutcliffe first win as head coach

BY BEN MIKELL SPORTS WRITER

SOUTHAVEN — Grit and grind might be the saying for the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies a few miles up Interstate 55. The Oxford Chargers acted every bit of that phrase on the football field at Southaven High Friday night.

Oxford turned in a stellar defensive performance to give an inexperienced offense every chance against Southaven. Oxford's offense delivered 19 unanswered points in a 26-20 comeback victory to give head coach Chris Cutcliffe his first win in his coaching debut.

Quarterback John Reese McClure and the Oxford offense didn't make it easy on themselves. Reece threw two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns in the contest aiding to a 20-7 deficit Oxford faced late in the third quarter. Cutcliffe worked all summer long and into drills to put his team into situations that made the players face some pressure situations and

Oxford's CJ Terrell iced the win with his second interception of the game. thought his Chargers (1-0) passed the test.

“We've tried to put them in situations like that throughout the offseason where we create some adversity and how they respond to it,” Cutcliffe said. “We try to teach them the proper way to respond to it by coming closer together and encouraging each other to keep fighting through it instead of pointing fingers. Nobody got down on anybody else. We just kept staying positive and never lost the belief that we were going to get it done in the end.”

Oxford got it done by scoring three straight touchdowns after McClure threw his second pick-six of the game.

Three plays after the interception, McClure found DeMarea Burt behind the Southaven defense from 66 yards out to cut the lead to 20-13 with 2:10 left in the third quarter after Gray Jenkins extra point sailed wide left.

After forcing a Southaven punt, Oxford went on a seven-play, 81-yard drive capped off with a McClure 30yard pass to JaQuan Webb. A made Jenkins PAT tied the game at 20 with 6:29 left in the contest.

After forcing another Southaven punt, Oxford got its best field position of the night starting at the Southaven 40. Oxford used its running game to march the 40 yards on six plays. Hiram Wadlington capped the drive with a 12-yard run, giving Oxford its 26-20 lead with 2:11 left.

Southaven (0-1) tried to mount a comeback from its own 26, but the TURN TO RALLY PAGE 14

With just over five minutes left in Friday night's season opener with Horn Lake, the Lafayette Commodores were jumping up and down on their sidelines. Lafayette had the momentum again in Michael Fair's debut as head coach. Tay Tay Owens scored on a 13-yard touchdown, giving the Commodores, and the fans in the stands at William L. Buford Stadium, something to get excited about.

Unfortunately for the Commodores, Horn Lake's Peyton Logan had plans on spoiling the comeback party.

Logan scored three touchdowns, his final coming with just over a minute left in the contest, to lift the Eagles past Lafayette 26-17.

Fair gathered his team around, and with cheerleaders and other supporters able to listen, he told them that he was proud of the overall effort. He promised that they would be a different team in Week 3, when the Commodores travel to Grenada, than the one that everyone saw Friday night against Horn Lake. He also told his players that they would correct the mistakes made in the setback. Fair also reminded his young Commodores that everything that could go wrong in the first game did. And sometimes it's just too hard to overcome a little bad luck, like losing starting quarterback Will Ard in the third quarter.

“We did have a little juice

at the end. We were out there with our backup quarterback (Ross Ingram) and he was getting after it and giving us everything he had,” Fair said. “The deck was kind of stacked against us at the time and (Logan) is a great player. He's going to make a lot of people miss. I thought he was the key to the game for them. When we had to tackle him late in the game, we missed some tackles.”

Fair came away with positives, like how in shape the Commodores were as a whole. He thought the plan was sound and there was talent on the roster to utilize that plan to win games.

“We just have some guys that need to hurry up and grow up,” Fair said. “I wasn't crazy about the off week before, but I'm really crazy about it right now.”

Ingram did help lead the Commodores on a scoring drive in the second half despite not having the game experience of Ard. Owens was the one who capped the scoring possession with Ingram behind center. Tailback Jamarcus Quarles had a 52-yard run to get the Commodores within striking distance before Ingram gained 8 yards on a keeper.

Fair said one of the things he and staff work on in practice is building depth, but he added that the offense does change when Ard isn't in the contest just because the others don't get quite as many reps.

“The offense does change but he is capable enough to

get us down the field,” Fair said. “We have to do a better job around him.”

Ard's arm got the Commodores on the board first in the contest when he hooked up with Tyler Williams for an 85-yard touchdown. Lafayette was on the verge of taking a twoscore lead after recovering a fumble on the ensuing Horn Lake possession. Lafayette never advanced the ball past the Horn Lake 36-yard line, and ended up punting back to the Eagles, who were finally able to get Logan going in the second quarter.

Horn Lake tied the game on Logan's first touchdown, a 1-yard run, and then went ahead for good with just over seven minutes left before the first half on a 7-yard run by Logan. The first score came a Lafayette following turnover, while the second came after a punt by Lafayette and a long pass play by the Eagles.

Missed opportunities hurt the Commodores and Fair said outside of about five plays, he was pleased with the way his defense looked.

“We never gave our defense a break. We gave them short field after short field it seemed like and we didn't take advantage of our short fields offensively,” Fair said.

“Those are things we've got to capitalize to win games.

We have some talent. We just have to channel this energy that we've gotten and come together during this off week.” john.davis@journalinc.com Twitter: @oxfordcitizenjd

PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

Wadlington paces Oxford's offense in Game 1

BY BEN MIKELL SPORTS WRITER

SOUTHAVEN — Hiram Wadlington pushed a 15man rugby pile for 15 yards at one point, fought through cramps and tackles to gain 132 yards rushing on 22 attempts and two touchdowns Friday night in Oxford's 26-20 win over Southaven. One of those touchdowns included the game-winning 12-yard score with 2:11 left in the game. Wadlington stabilized and led an offense that early on, continued to make mistakes with turnovers in the pass-

ing game. Wadlington's efforts on the ground allowed him to be Oxford's first Player of the Week this season.

After a subpar first half on offense, Wadlington and the rest of the offense in the locker room got together in a players-only meeting about what needed to happen in the second half for the offense to succeed.

“At halftime, we talked without the coaches about what we needed to do to come together,” Wadlington said. “(Colton) Skid(more) said that if we run the ball, the passing

game will open, so I just tried my best to swipe away the cramps I was catching.”

Running backs coach Chris Baughman talked to Wadlington before the game and gave credit to the offensive line for breaking down the Southaven defense over the course of the game that allowed Wadlington and back-up running back Lance Stewart to take command on the ground during the game-winning drive.

“Hiram and I talked about how we have three guys out there on offense

that had ever been in that situation. I told him to be patient and be a leader and he was just that,” Baughman said. “He was cramping up and basically took the rest of the third quarter off after it seemed like he carried 15 guys on that play, all 11 of theirs and four or five of ours. He just ran the ball hard and made a play at the end. Up front, I think we grew up as the game went on and eventually wore those guys down.

Williams shows his do-it-all ability in season opener

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

It didn't take Tyler Williams to make an impact on the 2016 season. The Mississippi State commitment scored the first touchdown of the year for the Commodores. His first reception from quarterback Will Ard in the first quarter of Friday night's game with Horn Lake turned into an 85-yard touchdown. It gave the Commodores a 7-0 lead with a made extra point from Robbie Langley.

The plan coming into the season was for Williams to showcase his do-it-all ability on both sides of the football, instead of just on defense like he has most of his career. He and Ard looked to be on the same page in the jamboree against Southaven, and that was the case early for LHS against the Eagles. Williams then showed his ability to run in the open field on the touchdown as he took a short pass and accelerated past the defensive backfield.

“I was just trying to get open and make something happen,” Williams said of the

grab. “Will Ard made a great throw and I just made a play.”

There were other impressive plays made

by Williams on the night, with the next biggest one coming late in the first half when he intercepted Horn Lake's quarterback in the shadow of Lafayette's end zone. Lafayette head coach Michael Fair seemed pleased with the way Williams competed in the first action of the season.

“Tyler played great. He came up with some big tackles and then that big pick down there on the goal line,” Fair said. “I thought he played well. He had the big touchdown at the beginning of the game.

He's a great athlete who plays both sides of the ball and special teams. He does a good job.”

Defensive coordinator Ben Ashley thought Williams played “lights out” with the exception of one play that Horn Lake scored a touchdown on. The Eagles were able to hurt the Commodores on some run-pass option routes early, but Ashley felt like his defense got better with those as the game went on. Horn Lake was able

to get the touchdown as Lafayette's defenders got caught peeking in on the quarterback's pump fake to a receiver running a curl route that turned into a post.

“That's the only assignment that we absolutely blew. For the most part, we were on spot with that and we played with great effort,” Ashley said. “I thought his interception was huge. I told Coach Lee right before they threw that ball that we were going to pick it and go the other way because I felt, at that time, they were going to have a hard time running it on us. I feel like play action or boot was coming and we played zone on the goal line and Tyler didn't chase. He stayed in the flat and the guy threw it right to him. It could have been 21-7. That was a big momentum thing for us going into halftime. I just wish we could have made one more there at the end.”

Williams said he has to get used to playing both ways, but felt he would get better week by week. He also said he was proud of how the defense continued to fight throughout the game.

JOEY BRENT | OXFORD CITIZEN

Senior Tyler Williams scored the first touchdown of the season for Lafayette. He also had an interception during the 2016 season opener.

“We're young but we fought hard. We have to clean up some things. We have this bye week coming up and we're going to get it all cleaned up,” Williams said.

“I was proud that we came out and played very well. At the same time, I'm not sure what we did mentally,” Ross said. “For the most part, I am proud of the whole team. I thought the bench did a great job of supporting us and staying in it.”

Ross credited the play of Grace Ann Joyce, a junior, for her play. Joyce had 12 kills against Center Hill.

Jessica Hill, a senior, was somebody Ross was also proud of. Ragan Freeze, a senior, was credited for her job on the back row from a defensive standpoint.

One thing that Ross would like to see her team do better with as they go on this year is serving the ball.

“We would hit them out of the back of the gym and then when hit them in the net so I don't know where we were with all of that,” Ross said.

drive was thwarted by CJ Terrell picking off his second pass from Southaven quarterback Marseiluis Vaughn to end the threat.

Cutcliffe praised the defense for keeping Vaughn contained and save for a 62-yard rushing touchdown by Brandin Echols late in the first half that gave Southaven a 13-7 lead at halftime, Cutcliffe was pleased with the tackling throughout the contest which was an issue in their jamboree game against Charleston last week.

“I thought we had a great plan defensively and I thought our guys executed well,” Cutcliffe said.

“Southaven makes you do things that puts you into some tough situations with such an athletic quarterback. We allowed one big play right before half.

We allowed that because of some poor tackling. We talked about that at halftime. Other than that, I thought we did a good tackling and knowing our responsibilities in the

read-option game and not letting their talented quarterback get loose very often.”

Cutcliffe and his Chargers now turn their attention to the Starkville Yellow Jackets. Cutcliffe knows they will present a stiff test when they meet in the Little Egg Bowl.

“They are going to be very talented and well coached,” he said. "They are going to do the little things the right way. That's why they are the defending 6A champions. It's a great challenge for us. That's kinda the thought process of making such a tough non-region schedule. We put ourselves in position to play in big games every week. It makes practice that much more important. In the player's minds, every day counts because we have some big games that we have to prepare for.

I think our guys are excited about a challenge and we are looking forward to getting on the practice field for getting ready Starkville.” john.davis@journalinc.com Twitter: @oxfordcitizenjd
