UM Market Days are being set up in the Union Plaza three times this semester in an effort to introduce students to the locally sourced food options available in Oxford. The first market was held Thursday and the student participation was so great that some vendors we forced to close after selling out of everything within the first hour.

Market Days brings fresh food to UM students

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

The area in front of the Student Union at the University of Mississippi is always busy during lunch hours as students try to grab a bite to eat or move through the area on their way to yet another class.

Working through the Green Fund, the UM Office of Sustainability is hoping to use the area as an opportunity to educate students about the importance of sustainability, healthy eating and supporting local business by holding small farmers markets.

The UM Green Fund operates out of the Office of Sustainability by funding the implementation of project proposals that UM students, staff and faculty submit to the office. This project was submitted by student Sarah O’Brian during the last spring semester and is operating under the name of “Market Days.”

O’Brian’s proposal called for the implementation of markets in the Union Plaza once a week, but this model would not

be practical at this time. Currently, there are plans to hold three markets during the 2016 fall semester, introducing the students to the concept slowing with the hope of possibly adding more in time.

Market Days are being set up in order to educate students about the alternative food options available in Oxford outside of grocery stores. Students have a variety of on-campus dining options available to them during their time at the university, but getting fresh and local produce at the university can be a significant challenge.

Evan Dean is an Ole Miss sophomore and volunteer with community organization Sustainable Oxford. He was excited to see the university incorporate more food options for the students who live on campus and are not always able to obtain locally sourced produce.

“I think it’s really awesome that they brought a famers market to campus,” Dean said. “Not all students have vehicles or the opportunity to visit the famers markets that are held in town.”

Students swarmed the Union Plaza once the market was set up. Within the first hour, some venders had to take down their tables in the plaza because they had run out of inventory to sell.

Sherry Driggers is a vendor, farmer and baker for 7D Farms. She said that right at lunch, students were all over the market buying baked goods, fresh vegetables, jams and herbs. Driggers said that she and her farm wanted to get involved with the university’s market and to use the opportunity to share the importance of shopping local with students.

“Well, we wanted to get involved to make sure students know they have the tools they need to eat healthily and locally,” Driggers. “When people shop local, they support community agriculture. They don’t have to go to Tupelo or Memphis to get good food when we everything right here.”

Della scores big on third grade reading gate

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

Della Davidson Elementary School’s testing scores for the third grade reading assessment came back this month and are among the highest in the state.

The third grade reading assessment, colloquially referred to as the third grade reading gate, is the test that Mississippi children in the third grade are legally required to pass in order to proceed on to fourth grade. The Mississippi Department of Education began implementing the test during the 2014-2015 school year in order to prevent grade promotion based on age alone and to better prepare students to complete the higher-level coursework that comes along with grade advancement during this critical time in their school careers.

For the 2015-2016

needs or language learning level.

“We’re very fortunate to live in a community where children come to as prepared as they do,” said Della Davidson Principal LaTonya Robinson. “It’s really important that we push, and that we give back to the community by growing their children and making sure they’re doing well. We have a great group of third grade teachers as well as fourth grade teachers working here with us at Della. I consider myself very fortunate to be working with them every day.”

Teachers work all year to prepare their third grade students for this test. The test features passages that students must read carefully and answer sets of questions about.

Some of the questions can be answered by referring back to the passages, but some require the application of skills learned throughout the year.

Where is the setting of the story? What is tone of the writing? What is the main idea of the following passage? What does this word mean when used in this context?

Chasity Arbuckle is a National Board Certified Teacher who has worked with third graders in the Oxford School District for the past six years. Thursday morning, Arbuckle

She asked students to define a few basic literary terms before handing out passages. Students then broke off into small groups to read and discuss their thoughts and ideas about the writing.

Arbuckle said that this group discussion is a critical part of the learning process, helping students to better understand what is being put in front of them by showing them someone else’s view of the same piece of literature.

“It makes you smarter,” she explains to the class.

At the beginning of the school year, teachers talk to the parents about the test their third graders will be taking at the end of the year, making sure they know it is coming up and understand the importance of it. The teachers encourage more trips to the library for students, set reading goals, use Accelerated Reader as an incentive and encourage students to find a style or genre of writing that they love and connect with. Arbuckle said that by doing this, teachers can get a better idea of how far along their students are and how much further they need to go in order to be on the reading level required to pass the test.

“Reading is important

because of simply where our society is right now,” Arbuckle said after the students had broken into groups and were working amongst themselves. “You get information from reading. Technology is reading. You cannot gain without reading right now.

From text messaging to being a gamer to just reading for the fun of it to researching – our whole society is about and built upon reading. They can’t be successful if they’re struggling with the simple things that are the building blocks for what they’ll be learning later.”

During Monday’s school board meeting, Superintendent Brian Harvey expressed his gratitude for the hard work teachers at Della put in toward preparing students for the important test.

He thanked Principal Robinson for her service to the district and said that the test scores show how hard everyone, including the students, have been working since last year.

“We are very proud of our third graders and our third grade teachers,” Harvey said in an email to the Citizen. “Having above 96% of our students pass the examination is an excellent acknowledgment of their hard work.” chaning.green@journallinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

Camellia Hospice offering grief support group

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

Everyone knows what it is like to grieve the loss of someone. Family, friends, coworkers or whoever they may be, losing a person a pretty much a universal experience. Camellia Hospice is working to make sure those grieving in the Oxford area have a safe space to do so by offering grief support group sessions every Thursday.

The sessions are lead by the Rev. Marjorie Buckley who works as a chaplain with the Oxford branch of the hospice service. Buckley was working for a bank at the time and wanted to become involved in ministry again. She had spent a number of years working in the church and wanted to branch out and work with another facet of the field.

She heard about Camellia from a friend and she applied. She was told that they did not have any positions available at the time, but

that her application would be kept on file. A year later, a new director had taken over and found Buckley’s application in a desk draw. She called Buckley and after the women met, Buckley was offered the job. For the past three years, she has served in her role as chaplain.

Buckley said that she loves her job as chaplain because of the opportunity it provides for her to serve people through the ministry and work with a team that is focused on making sure families have everything they need to care for one another and heal. She ties her interest in medicine and ministry back to her family.

“My father was a doctor, so medicine is something that I grew up being interested in as a child,” she said.

“I’ve always been fascinated with the way medicine, ministry and prayer go together. I definitely feel like this is where God has called me to be at this time in my life.”

The grief support group

sessions began in late January. Camellia is a regional company, and the headquarters suggested that the individual branches offer the service to grieving families, whether they came through Camellia or not.

The original intention for the program was for it to be broken into six-week sessions, but by the end of the first six weeks, people were not ready to leave. They still needed support.

It was then that Buckley started using the book “Understanding Your Grief: Ten Essential Touchstones,” as a resource for the group. The book is divided into ten chapters, but Buckley said

that some of them explored so much that they ended up working with the book for a full 14 weeks.

Anyone is welcome to attend the sessions. Currently, there are about six people who have been consistently coming to every meeting, and only one of those people lost a family member who went through Camellia Hospice. Everyone else is just a community member needing help to work through his or her bereavement.

People in the group are in different stages of their grief.

Some have a loved one who died years ago due to complications that come with

old age while others could have lost someone to suicide less than a year ago.

Buckley said the group is not there to serve a select few people based on where they are in their bereavement, but just to help everyone talk about how they are feeling in a safe environment with people who have been through the same thing.

A typical session starts with a moment of silence.

Buckley said that she sessions are not sermons, so while people are welcome to talk about God or their faith and how it is or is not playing a role in their grief, there is no religious requirement in order to attend the meeting. Buckley said the moment of silence is a chance for everyone to get into the right mindset to begin the session. Buckley checks in with each individual person in attendance and gives everyone the opportunity to discuss how he or she has been feeling or what has been going on

since the last meeting. They reflect on their day or week.

Then they have discussions.

They work from the book, using it as a resource to get the conversations going as those in attendance explore their own grief out loud.

“People have these feelings and thoughts and some of them are still so angry,” Buckley said. “Other people don’t really know how to help someone with their grief; they don’t know what to say. In this group, you can walk in and say, ‘I feel crazy; am I going crazy?’ and there will be people here who understand it and will be able to talk about it with you. It’s a safe place for everyone to just say how they’re feeling.”

The sessions will begin again on Thursday, September 1 at 10 a.m. on the second floor of Brookdale Assisted Living. For more information on the sessions, call Camellia Hospice at 662-238-7771. chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

said that she wants to make sure that the Market Days are used to their full educational potential. For the next two Market Days Abernathy’s office is planning to have brochures and other educational materials that outline how students can work to eat locally sourced produce the Oxford area.

“We ultimately hope to drive students to visit the already established markets in town, Mid-Town and the Oxford Community Garden,” Abernathy said. “This market, the first one, is being held during Welcome Week so that students can start off the semester knowing about the different food options available to them here in Oxford.”

Abernathy went on to say that this is an invaluable opportunity to gain more data on students’ attitudes on farmers markets and locally sourced produce. Her office is hoping to use that data to learn more about how to get student out to farmers markets and eating better.

“With the data we will be collecting from these first three markets being held this semester, we’ll be able to make our way to the next step in this in a more informed way,” she said. “Right now, we have a great selection of vendors selling produce, herbs, honey, breads and jams. I think this will really help students understand that, when you go to a farmers market, it’s not just going to be vegetables and that you can actually do a good bit of your grocery shopping there.” chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

OHS student suspended, facing sanctions for role in threat

BY JOHN DAVIS OXFORD CITIZEN

An Oxford High student is suspended today and possibly facing additional sanctions for taking part in a threat against the school Aug. 19.

The school district locked down OHS, as well as other schools, for two hours after an assistant principal received a threat from an individual via text message.

The threat revolved around the use of a gun, and not a bomb or fire, according to law enforcement. Because of the threat, the band from OHS was unable attend the game at Chargers' Southaven.

Superintendent Brian

Harvey gave an update on the lockdown Monday night during the monthly school board meeting. At the time, it appeared that finding a perpetrator may prove to be too difficult.

The narrative changed Tuesday morning, Harvey said, as more information came to light. And by Wednesday, members of the Oxford Police Department in charge of investigating the case were able to pinpoint an individual and make an arrest.

That person is under the age of 18 and as a result, falls under a different set of circumstances involving punishment. If the person was over 18, they would have been booked into the

Lafayette County Detention Center and have to post bond.

A felony for cyberstalking would have been the most logical choice for the OPD to use in regards to a charge. According to Mississippi Code 97-45-15, it is “unlawful for a person to use unlawful for a person to use in electronic mail or electronic communication any words or language threatening to inflict bodily harm to any person or to that person's child, sibling, spouse or dependent, or physical injury to the property of any person, or for the purpose of extorting money or other things of value from any person.”

If any of the following ap-

plies, then the person is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for no more than five years or a fine of not more than $10,000 or both.

The investigation is still ongoing, but a youth court complaint has been made and the next step in the legal proceedings is for the individual to make an appearance in that setting at a later date.

The student is also going to have to appear before a disciplinary hearing committee at a later date.

Principal Bradley Roberson is the one who will make a recommendation as far as punishment from the school relating to the matter. The maximum is

being expelled from all classes for the remainder of the school year and beyond. Harvey said it was unfortunate that anybody would think to harm a school and make such a threat, which was taken very seriously by the district.

Davis McCool, the editor of the The Charger student newspaper, was the first to break the story on the arrest of the student. In his story, he said the student was released to the custody of parents. McCool reported David Bell is the judge who is the presiding referee over youth court in the county.

Brokaw's message last May still holds true for this year's UM class

I

t's been one full week of classes now for the students at The University of Mississippi. There is still time to drop, or add, a class, which means studying hasn't truly gotten real.

It is less than two weeks before the start of the home football game schedule, and September is going to be busy in that regard. Before we know it, the fall semester will be over and it will be time to get ready for the spring.

And then this year's group of seniors are that much closer to commencement and the next step of their lives. Things move that fast around here.

Before Tom Brokaw traveled around Brazil during the 2016 Olympics, he was the featured speaker at last year's commencement.

One of the top things he urged those graduates to accomplish was make the state of Mississippi better.

“Stay committed to Mississippi and the issues that are here,” Brokaw said following that speech that culminated the final week

“I have grown to be so fond of Oxford. I actually convinced a friend of mine from the New York Times to come down and see Oxford,” Brokaw said this past May. “You have to see what's going on down here, I told him. In so many ways, it's the old but it's still the new South. It's re-inventing itself. There is an enormous amount of pride that the people have here, just the sheer beauty, it's like a movie set in a lot of ways.”

of school for the 2015-16 academic calendar. “Mississippi has made great progress. It still has a long way to go, but never ever abandon the home front so to speak.”

Brokaw's message of “paying back the state” should apply to all of those that have signed up for classes, not just the ones nine months from graduation. Staying involved in order to get things accomplished is really a key for all of us, but it is very important for the individuals still learning how to exist away from home to understand the message. Brokaw was one of the latest, or most visible, people to make the point.

Ole Miss LB commit Willie Gay better than advertised for Jackets

A

ny game that has a trophy at stake usually brings a crowd to the stadium. That goes for almost any school, up and down the state.

When Oxford hosts Starkville in the “Little Egg Bowl,” you can expect that crowd to be even bigger, at both home sites.

Starkville linebacker Willie Gay knew what was at stake well before he even stepped on the bus headed north. The senior, who is committed to play for the Ole Miss Rebels, absolutely knew that he, and the rest of his defensive mates, needed to step up and make big plays in order to make sure that the Little Egg stayed in the office of head coach Ricky Woods.

With three Ole Miss coaches — including head coach Hugh Freeze — looking on, Gay made play after play for the Yellowjackets in their 28-16 win over Oxford at Bobby Holcomb Field. He went out and covered wide receivers when he didn't blitz OHS quarterback John Reece McClure. He swarmed to the ball with his quickness, and he even talked traded a few words with the Chargers after some key stops. After two, or maybe three, of those differencemaking plays, Gay even put up the Landshark sign as he ran back to his sideline.

“I had to throw it up here, you know,” Gay said with a smile. “I had to get it in. To get the Little Egg Bowl is huge. It's been in Starkville now three years in a row. We had to keep it going.”

Following the game, Gay made sure to congratulate players like Oxford linebacker DQ Thomas, who he hugged. And he was TURN TO OLE MISS PAGE 12

Just Short Yellowjackets hold off Chargers to claim 'Little Egg Bowl'

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

It's not often that a football team can commit 22 penalties for well over 200 yards and win a game but that's exactly what the Starkville Yellowjackets were able to do at Bobby Holcomb Field Friday night. A third straight win over the Oxford Chargers to claim the “Little Egg Bowl” came with a major scuffle. The Yellowjackets found themselves in a battle with the scrappy, young Chargers all the way down to the end in a 28-16 victory.

Head coach Ricky Woods shook his head about the amount of penalties, and said he had never seen anything like it in all his years of coaching.

“It was absolutely something isn't it?,” Woods said as his players gathered up the miniature Egg Bowl trophy behind him. “I guess it was endurance. Having 260 yards of penalties is absolutely uncalled for. We have to play more disci-

plined, more controlled football. I'm sort of aggrevated that we didn't. I'm tired, I know that.”

Starkville (2-0 overall) had to feel the entire 60-minute contest on the bus ride back home after the way the Chargers (1-1) played. Oxford coach Chris Cutcliffe was pleased with how his team battled in a game that they were six inches away from tying midway through the fourth quarter.

“They wouldn't go away. They did a good job. Well coached, good kids, they played well,” Woods said about the Chargers and the effort they turned in against his Class 6A roster.

Oxford never led in the contest, but with just over seven minutes left in the heavyweight battle, quarterback John Reece McClure had the offense knocking on the door of Starkville's end zone.

Three straight runs provided just two yards for the Chargers. Two penalties on the Yellowjackets got them a few more inches in the shadow of the goal line.

On fourth-and-goal, with under 1 yard to gain, McClure and his fullback ran into each other, and the ball dropped to the ground, thwarting the chance for the Chargers to possibly tie the game.

The Chargers were able to get a safety three plays later with Starkville pinned so deep, but not scoring a touchdown on offense proved to be the most pivotal point in the contest.

“Our guys were trying to hit so hard down hill, you see that happen way too often on the goal line and I take the blame on that. I don't think we practiced that well enough,” Cutcliffe said about the fourth down attempt that failed. “I told them afterwards that it was on me. I should have had them reverse that ball outside. I think we would have scored. I thought we had a good surge on the line of scrimmage and I think if we would have been able to secure the handoff, we would have TURN TO CHARGERS PAGE 13

PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Oxford's Wilfawn continues to impress on defense

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

It didn't take long for Oxford junior linebacker Quentin Wilfawn to impress Starkville head coach Ricky Woods. Minutes into Friday night's game with the Yellowjackets, Woods was talking about the player who wore No. 10.

Wilfawn's name could be heard play after play over the public address system. A game after recording 16 tackles in the season opener against Southaven, Wilfawn had 20 stops, and recorded a safety, in the 28-16 loss to Starkville Friday night at Bobby Holcomb Field. His efforts earned him the Week 2 Player of the Week honor for the Chargers. Running

back Hiram Wadlington earned the honor against Southaven.

OHS head coach Chris Cutcliffe praised the play of Wilfawn, who missed almost all of his sophomore year due to injury. Cutcliffe was proud of what Wilfawn has been able to accomplish so far, without a lot of experience under his belt.

“The biggest thing is he is consistent. He's reading his keys. He doesn't bust. He is doing everything he is asked to do and on top of that, he's making big plays,” Cutcliffe said. “He's just been outstanding.”

Wilfawn felt like the defense played pretty well despite the setback to the Yellowjackets, who were very physical up front on offense.

“I'm pleased. Everybody is doing their job and we just have to make more plays as a team,” Wilfawn said. “It's great to be back with the team, playing ball. It's a good feeling. I go out and play hard and we play for one another. We prepare and study film everyday. We're working really hard.”

Even in a loss, Wilfawn felt like he and his teammates could use it in a positive fashion heading into next week's matchup with Madison Central on the road.

“It happens. We have to be able to come back from it because we have another big one next week and we'll see how that goes,” Wilfawn said.

Bjork ready to get next step of NCAA case through EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second in a two-part series with Ole Miss Athletics Director Ross Bjork who talks about the 20162017 getting underway.

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

Ole Miss is now eight days from meeting up with Florida State in the season opener in football. Preparing for the Seminoles has been the focus of coach Hugh Freeze and his Rebels.

At SEC Media Days in July, Freeze said he would like to know the conclusion of the NCAA investigation sooner rather than later.

Much like Freeze, Ross Bjork said for as long as the investigation has gone on, the desire has always been to finish it as soon as possible.

“So whenever that is, that's the hope. That's what we're pushing for. Let's get these things wrapped up so we can get to our hearing and we can have our chance to state our case,” Bjork said.

“We're ready for the conclusion to get here.”

An open NCAA investigation could serve as a distraction to the Rebels. Freeze has been asked about that as well, adding that it was not discussed amongst the

team, and dismissing it as a distraction.

“If you're a college student-athlete and you're focused on class and your sport, I think you can lock in to that pretty well,” Bjork said in response to the same question. “Our job is to manage this, to provide leadership, to where it's not a distraction to our coaches and especially our studentathletes. I think they trust our leadership and I'm appreciative of that. It's our job to make sure that the table is cleared where they can focus on things that are important to them, which is academics and playing at the highest

level. I admire that they are locked in like they appear to be, and like they have shown so far. We have to keep that focus moving forward.”

One of the things that Bjork was looking forward to seeing was how the brandnew Pavilion operates and enhances the experience for fans during a football weekend. He remembers walking towards Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in 2012, his first season in Oxford, envisioning what it would be like to have the basketball arena next door and what it would look like to have a plaza leading up to the stadium that was fully enclosed like it is now.

“Part of the vision was that we have this new front door, a venue and a building that is really a community gathering spot on a football Saturday, too,” Bjork said. “We want to see the Pavilion in action. We want to see our stadium in action in terms of all the changes and the expansion. How do people respond to our stadium being louder? We know that if our fans make noise, the home field advantage just got better because we have more people. The seating bowl is enclosed and I've had people tell me that they thought they would never see our stadium enclosed and now it

is, so let's take advantage of that. I think people responding to that will give us a lot of glory and satisfaction.”

Another top thing for Bjork to accomplish this year is getting to know another new set of student-athletes in all the sports.

“We have a whole new freshmen class and it's our job to invest in those relationships. So I think being visible with the student-athletes is definitely a priority for me going into this year personally as the athletic director,” Bjork said.

Parker, staff working to get No. 10 Rangers ready for season opener

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

Even though Benjy Parker is doing more this fall, looking at every aspect of what makes up the Northwest Mississippi Community College Rangers, he is still having a lot of fun.

Parker is still serving as the program's defensive coordinator but as the head football coach of Rangers, the offense and special teams get his attention as well. There are little things that a head coach also has to take care of, like making sure his players are getting to class and getting in to see a trainer and acting right when they are in their dorm rooms. He is also keeping up with the managers who help make sure practice runs smooth each day.

“This is fun. Again, there are highs and lows, but the whole process is what you need to enjoy,” Parker said.

“The thing about it is you get worried and you get stressed but you have to tell yourself sometimes to enjoy the process. Just take

Ole Miss

a step back and enjoy the process. That's what it's about.”

Parker and the Rangers, who enter the season ranked No. 10 in the nation in the NJCAA rankings after winning the national title last year, start off on the road at Hinds. They had their first big scrimmage work last week and they have already started working on the Eagles. Parker thought the live action went pretty well.

“I believe we got about 50 or 60 plays in and we hit a couple of special teams there. We came out of it for the most part injury free and it was good for us,” Parker said adding he gets questions all the time about how the team is looking. “The honest truth is I don't know. We've been going against each other. I know everybody is going to have a good team. I think we're going to be OK. It's hard to judge when you go against each other every day. The kids are ready to play a game right now. We probably need to play a game, but it also scares me to death because I don't

know if we are ready.”

The plan for Parker was to work on Hinds Friday and then get the team back today to continue work after an off day Saturday.

NWCC's defense has played well in spots, Parker said, but there was still more to accomplish.

“We haven't tackled to the ground but one time which was that Saturday.

We thought that was the smartest thing to do for our team as coaches and we got good work in,” Parker said adding the race to be the starting quarterback was still up in the air. “We have a competition going between Cameron Bowman from DeSoto Central and Clay Holgorsen.

Cameron had a couple of good days work Tuesday and Wednesday. Clay was actually out with the stomach bug and he didn't practice. We just got him (Thursday) and our practice was cut short due to lightning. Both have been doing well. It's a good competition back there.”

“The play he made after the safety and we thought we were going to score, the one we thought we had a touchdown, he went all the way across the field and knocked that ball thrown to Preston Perkins,” Cutcliffe said.

“He was outstanding. I was very impressed with him.”

One of the big things that Gay focused on this summer was maturing, and being a better leader for the rest of the team.

“I know I have to be a leader, that the younger players are going to look up to me, that's my biggest improvement this PETRE THOMAS offseason,” Gay said adding he thought being a Starkville senior linebacker Willie Gay, who is committed to Ole Miss, made a big impact for the Yellowjackets in their win over Oxford Friday night. leader would help him at Ole Miss. “Even when I'm it's like a family.” with.

scored. Of course we had the huge safety after that and had great field position but didn't capitalize on it.”

Oxford's last offensive series that really mattered started with just over five minutes left on the clock following the free kick back from Starkville. Down 21-16 at that point, the Chargers got the ball at the Yellowjackets 43-yard line, but they went backwards with a penalty and the sixth sack of McClure. Preston Perkins was set to punt to the Yellowjackets, and possibly pin them deep, but he took off running, with 18 yards to gain for a first down.

Linebacker Willie Gay and his teammates stopped Perkins and pushed him back the other way for a loss of 6 yards, giving Starkville the ball back at Oxford's 43.

Eight plays later, the Yellowjackets were in the end zone for a final time with a 12-yard run from Rodrigues Clark with 1:35 left in the contest.

Cutcliffe felt like his team

“I talked to our guys before the game about what more could you ask for than this? You're playing football, the game you love, against a great opponent in a big rivalry with a trophy on the line,” Cutcliffe said.

“The biggest thing I want to see is for you to have fun and just get after it every play and I think that's the best way to enjoy the game.

I think they really just competed. The best way to get

over a loss is to come back next week and play better next Friday against another great opponent. We've talked about our schedule, but you don't have too much to dwell on a loss because you better turn around and get ready for Madison Central. I do hope we got better. I do think we learned how to compete.”
