No. 23 Rebels roll to 45-14 win over No. 11 Georgia

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

A fast start for the No. 23 Ole Miss Rebels was finally followed up by a strong finish.

Two of the most frustrating

losses in recent memory were erased, at least somewhat, with a 45-14 win over No. 11 Georgia Saturday afternoon at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

For the Rebels, it was total domination of a team that was

3-0 coming in, and having won 10 straight meetings between the two. The last win for the Rebels over the Bulldogs came on the road at Sanford Stadium in 1996.

Ole Miss (2-2 overall)

jumped out to a 31-0 lead at the half and then continued to perform at the start of the third quarter, something that didn't happen in losses to Florida State and Alabama. Hugh Freeze liked how focused his

Ole Miss students occupy Lyceum

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

More than 150 members of the university community gathered Friday afternoon to stage a peaceful protest in response to the university’s handling of racist comments made by an Ole Miss student on social media.

Jordan Samson, a business major, made the comment on Facebook under a post regarding the riots in Charlotte, North Carolina. In the comment, Samson suggested lynching the protestors, writing, “I have a tree with room for all of them if you want to settle this Wild West style.”

The comment sparked immediate outrage and went viral, being shared by thousands on both Twitter and Facebook. Earlier today, UM Chancellor Jeffery Vitter released a statement in response to the outcry. Nowhere in the TURN TO OCCUPY PAGE 6

Students and other members of the university community gather on the steps of the Lyceum Friday afternoon during their protest in order to hold a dialogue and discuss the racially violent comments made by student Jordan Samson and how to eradicate the cultural mindset that lead to the comments.

Beavers reflects on her 30 years with OSD to enjoy learning so much more now than when I was growing up.

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

Maggie Beavers has been teaching elementary students in the Oxford School District for over three decades now. The Batesville native has seen a lot of growth in the public education system during her time. During her own career as a student, she experienced school segregation as an African American child in the South Panola School District. Beavers now works as a sixth grade teacher at Oxford Intermediate School teaching reading and English. She took some time out of her schedule Wednesday afternoon to sit down Oxford Citizen Reporter Chaning Green and discuss her time with the Mississippi education system.

CHANING GREEN: How long have you been teaching?

MAGGIE BEAVERS: This is my 32nd year as a teacher. I have been in the Oxford School District my whole entire career. I started out as a second grade teacher at Bramlett Elementary School. I worked as a teaching assistant for two years before I received my own classroom. Then, once we build the new schools, second grade moved to Oxford Elementary and I went there.

About five years ago, I decided that I wanted to teach sixth grade. So this is my fifth year teaching sixth grade. I was looking for a bit of a change. I had always taught second grade and I wanted to see what it was

BEAVERS:Yes, I lived there until I came here to attend college at the University of Mississippi. I majored in home economics education, but decided that high school was not what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to be with younger students. I like seeing that kids are happy and that they are learning and showing growth.

BRIEFING Race will benefit veterans The University of Mississippi Recreation Management Department has partnered with the Ambucs organization, a 501(c)(3), to program the second annual event that benefits Veterans with disabilities. The event will take place on Oct. 2, 2016.

Participating teams will race an AmTryke (adaptive tricycle), competing to complete 75 laps around The Circle (on campus) in the fastest time. For every $1,000 we raise, we are able to purchase one AmTryke, which will be donated to a Veteran with a disability(s) at the end of the race.

We are inviting individuals and businesses to sponsor the AmTrykes in Action race. Your involvement and support of this event will help to provide Veterans with independence and a healthier lifestyle.

Next Thursday, Oxford Commons will be holding their second annual bowling tournament involving local businesses and community members to benefit Lovepacks.

This is the second year that Oxford Commons has organized the fundraiser.

They said that bowling is something that many people like to do regardless of skill level and background, so a bowling tournament, held just down the road from the housing development, was an easy choice to get people to come together and have a good time.

Tyler Meisenheimer has been working with Oxford Commons as their director of sales since February. He said that RJ Allen and Associates, the parent company of Oxford Commons, was just looking for a way to contribute to the Oxford community and letting everyone have a little fun while doing so.

“We want to be involved in the community,” Meisenheimer said. “Even though we are a construction company and we build houses and commercial properties, we want to make sure we are present in the community.

We saw this as a great opportunity to be involved and involve the community as well.”

Oxford Commons rented out 20 lanes from Premier Lanes. Teams are comprised of realtors, attorneys and bankers, all professionals that the company interacts with on a daily basis. The teams of private citizens involved with the tournament are comprised of local com-

munity members who heard about the fundraiser and want do their part to contribute. There was enough room for them in the lanes, so Oxford Commons let them join up.

Each team is will be working to raise money before the tournament. Every cent that people bring to the event goes to benefit Lovepacks.

Oxford Commons paid to rent the space, to supply food and even to purchase

trophies for the first, second and third place winners.

Teams will be judged based off of the scores from their first two games. People are free to play as many games as they would like throughout the night.

“I think that Oxford is a very unique community in itself,” Meisenheimer said when asked why his company chose to host the fundraiser again this year.

“Oxford puts a lot of empha-

sis on supporting one another. I think that’s really important everywhere, but you really do see that in Oxford.

We’re not just writing and donating a check. We wanted to have a fun and inviting event where everyone is welcome to come and have a good time. I just think it’s important to work together and partner with others to support a great cause. “ Oxford Lovepacks was

founded in 2010 to give children of the Oxford and Lafayette County School Districts the resources they need to make sure all of their nutritional needs are met outside of the classroom.

Students are selected for the program after being recommended by their teacher.

The packs are discretely slipped into the child’s backpack every Friday just before school lets out. The packs contain single servings of easy-open foods like poptop ravioli or soup, pudding cups, granola, peanut butter, crackers, fruit and more.

Lovepacks is currently averaging about 160 packs a week across the community.

Lovepacks cofounder Mary Leary said that the organization is very grateful and excited to be involved with event again this year.

“We’re thrilled to be a part of Oxford Commons’ second annual charity bowling event,” Leary said. “Everyone had so much fun last year and there was such great community support. We are honored to be a part of this fabulous event.”

The businesses that have made teams for the event so far include Remax Realty, Kessinger Real Estate , Tommy Morgan Real Estate, HughesBrown PrimeLending, Bank of Commerce, Bank of Oxford, Bill Turner Law, Sharon Grace Realty, Renasant Bank, Nix Tann, Sharon Rice Community Mortgage and Belles and Beaus. Meisenheimer said that they have room for just a few more teams, but he expects those to be filled just in time for the fundraiser to begin. chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

City approves $14,000 donation to Community Market

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

During last week’s City Board meeting, the board approved a donation of $14,000 to benefit the Oxford Community Garden.

The donation comes from funds that were raised by the Oxford City Market through donations and vendor fees. The Community Market will be taking the place of the Oxford City Market officially beginning on the first day of October after the City Market terminates its contract on the last day of September.

President of the Board for the market John Winkle presented before the board Tuesday evening to request the donation. Because of the unusual time that the market is coming into play and taking over the responsibilities of the City Market in the Oxford community, they are unable to apply for the necessary funding that would be needed to keep different charitable functions of the market up and running. Winkle said that the donation would be used to keep the programs running until next spring when the market can apply for the necessary grants, which he said the market was confident they

would receive.

Money from the donation will be going to support the different operating costs and community outreach programs that the Community Market will be carrying on

from the City Market. WIC, SNAP and EBT as well making sure lowincome families in the community have access to the fresh produce the market provides are among the charitable functions of the market.

children. Relative to the number of WIC vouchers given to local mothers, the Oxford City Market has the highest rate of redeemed vouchers of any other farmers market in the state. The Oxford Community Market is hoping to continue that.

During the Alderman meeting Tuesday, Alderman of Ward III Janice Antonow commended the work of the market and said that she hopes to see that work continue to grow in the community.

She made the motion for the board to vote for the approval of the donation.

“I’d just like to say that what you’re doing is just amazing,” Antonow said, addressing representatives of the market. “The market you are starting will be doing the things that we had in mind with the City Market first started. It’s wonderful. I think it’s different from what other markets are doing because this is outreach and you are serving a lot of people.”

After Antonow made the motion They also match SNAP benefits for approval, the rest of the board unanimously voted to approve the dollar-per-dollar.

statement does the chancellor directly mention Samson’s comments, but instead focuses on the social media posts that gained popularity after last weekend’s game against the University of Alabama where university police confiscated Mississippi and rebel flags that attendees were carrying on campus. Both flags were banned from campus last fall.

At one point, Vitter’s statement does read, “The University of Mississippi condemns the use of language that might encourage or condone violence. Instead, let’s be respectful and civil in our discourse, as called for in The Creed.” But several students felt that this statement was too vague and did not directly address the violent comment Samson made.

Before 3 p.m., over 100 students and other members of the university community occupied the halls of the Lyceum as they waited to hear more from university officials. Members of the administration held a closed meeting with student leaders while bottles of water were

brought in to the protestors.

“Our administration’s response was a terrible one for what is going on here,” said Ms. Ole Miss Acacia Santos while administration and student leaders were still in their meeting. “We are peacefully protesting with this sit-in. We are going to sit here and wait for the response that we deserve.”

During the sit-in, controversial student activist Andrew Soper came to the Lyceum to sit with the protestors. Soper has been very outspoken about his opposition to the university’s decision to remove the state flag last fall and has written columns for the Daily Mississippian that were widely read. Students were very surprised to Soper at the protest, but he made it clear he was there for support and discussion. The protestors moved to the steps of the Lyceum where they had a dialog with Soper. It was his post on which Samson made his lynching comment.

It was soon announced that the Lyceum would have to be locked and the all students would have to move outside by 6 p.m. Protestors were told that student leaders who were meeting with administration would

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2016

be out to address the crowd as soon as the meeting ended.

While students were waiting, discussion continued. People were sitting in the halls, on floors, benches and steps, discussing what was happening and how they felt about it.

“This behavior goes against everything we believe in here,” Stanos said when asked why she thinks it is important for the UM community to come together during this time. “You come to college to become a better person. I know Ole Miss is trying its hardest to take in these students and change their lives for the better. When things like this happen, when racist comments are made, it is damaging to our community. It’s not a joke. These aren’t just words. You’re harming in more ways than you could ever imagine. You’re putting fear in people’s hearts when this is a place that they should be calling home, where they should feel safe.”

Just before 6, the meeting let out and student leaders addressed the crowd. They said that the chancellor would be revising his statement and that a decision on Samson’s fate at the university would be made “in a few days.”

Vitter’s new statement was released less than two hours later and spoke about the meeting that was held.

“The students helped me more fully understand the impact on them of national events and this particular social media post,” the statement reads.

“They expressed great pain, sadness and concern for their own safety. To be clear, we condemn the recent social media post made by one of our students that referenced lynching. In light of our country’s history,

that comment can only be seen as racist, offensive and hurtful, especially to members of our African American community.

There is no place in our community for racist or violent acts.”

Students, including Santos, said that they were pleased to see the administration’s willingness to listen to the concerns of students and other members of the university community and work together toward a solution. chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

OM Theatre opens ‘Clybourne Park’ to start important dialogue

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

This weekend the University of Mississippi’s theatre department unveiled their latest stage production “Clybourne Park.”

The central character of the play is a house. Playwright Bruce Norris published the play in 2010 as a spinoff of “A Raisin in the Sun,” a play published in 1959 that tells the story of a black family that moves into a predominantly white neighborhood in Chicago known as Clybourne Park. Act I of the more recent play is set in 1959 and follows the neighborhood’s reaction when they learn that the house’s owners have sold the property to a black family.

Act II of the play tackles the complicated issue of gentrification.

This act, taking place in 2009, is set around the same home still sitting in the same neighborhood, but things are a little different in the 50 years that have passed. Clybourne Park has now become a predominately black neighborhood that is in the early stages of gentrification.

A white couple wants to buy the house, level it and rebuild, ultimately creating a house completely different from the rest of the neighborhood. So the neighbor-

hood decides to fight back.

The play’s witty writing and ability to tackle such complicated and heavy-hitting subject matter earned it the Pulitzer in 2011 and a Tony in 2012 as well as critical acclaim around the world. Chair of the Department of Theatre Michael Barnett said that this is a perfect play for the Ole Miss community to see because of the university’s own troubled history with race relations. “’Clybourne Park’ is a wonderful play that addresses important issues on our campus, in our community and in our country,” Barnett said in an emailed statement to the Citizen. “Through an exploration of racism, classism and gentrification over the last fifty years, this show seeks to engage our audiences in conversations that are vitally important in our region.”

Barnett said that he feels that the play’s frank, yet tactful presentation intricate issues concerning race relations will start and contribute to conversations both on and off campus.

“The mission of the Department of Theatre Arts calls upon us to produce ‘culturally relevant works,’ and this play fits that perfectly,” he continued.” Our cast and creative

team have been hard at work on this show for months now and they are all doing terrific work. I know that our audiences will appreciate the opportunity to share in the telling of this story.”

Cast members for the play were selected the Saturday before school started and work on the production has been nonstop since. Instructor Rory Ledbetter is working on the show as its director.

He said that he was initially unfamiliar with the details of the play outside of its reputation and recognition from the Pulitzer it received.

However, once Ledbetter read the

play, he immediately loved it. One of the things that stood out to him the most was the way that the cast is used to play different characters across time.

“All of the actors that are in Act I, are playing completely different characters in Act II,” Ledbetter said. “But all the characters have ties to characters in Act I or different people that get mentioned. For example, Tom Driscoll, who is the attorney representing the homeowners association trying to fight gentrification in Act II, is the son of the guy who sold the house to the black family in 1959. There’re all these really exciting parallels about how Act I and Act II connect to each other.”

In conjunction with the play, the theatre department is working with the university’s history department, the Center for Population Studies and the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation to host a three-part lecture series that focuses on continuing the conversations started by “Clybourne Park.”

Director of the Center for Population Studies John Green will be kicking off the lecture series with a talk entitled “Exploration of the Social and Community Factors Associated with Gentrification in

Global and Local Contexts.” His lecture will take place in the Meek Auditorium at noon next Friday.

Lunch will be provided.

Assistant Rebecca Marchiel of the history department will give a lecture called “From Panic Peddling to Gentrification, ‘Clybourne Park’ in Historical Perspective. This talk will be happening Wednesday, Oct. 5 at noon in the Meek Auditorium. Lunch will also be provided here.

Jennifer Stollman, who serves as the academic director of the Winter Institute, will give the last lecture of the series. Unlike the others, she will be presenting on the third floor of Lamar Hall at noon on Oct. 11. Her speech, titled “’Clybourne Park’ and Community: A contemporary Dialogue Around Equity and Residential Spaces.” This final installment in the series will explore how communities can understand and address the impact of racism, classism, residential segregation and integration can have on American cities and communities.

“Clybourne Park” will be showing in the Meek Auditorium through Oct. 9. chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

Sweet T's owners on episode of ‘Cake Wars’

BY JOHN DAVIS OXFORD CITIZEN

There is a bigger reason to watch Cake Wars on the Food Network this season, beyond just seeing some of the best pastry designers in the nation in action. Oxford's Sweet T's bakery, owned and operated by Jeff and Kathleen Taylor, are set to appear on the show later this fall.

The couple traveled to Los Angeles this past July to tape the show hosted by Jonathan Bennett. Jeff Taylor said he learned about the chance to be on the show when he was at the fire department one night on shift.

“I saw they were taking applications for the upcoming season. This was last year about November and I just sent in an application just for fun,” he said. “I never thought it would lead to anything. After I sent it in, it was several months after before we heard anything back.

They called and wanted us to send in an audition video.

We did and after that it was probably three months be-

Jeff Taylor of Sweet T's Bakery and his wife participated in Cake Wars recently. fore we heard anything and we didn't think anything else about it.”

All of that changed when the couple got an e-mail asking if they could travel out to California to take part in a show.

“After that, it all happened pretty fast,” Jeff Taylor said.

“On the show, you don't know what you're doing ahead of time. That's the thing about it. It's a tworound competition. We were up against three other pairs of bakers. The first round,

they give you some weird ingredients to incorporate into your cake and you have to figure out how to make those ingredients work in your cake. Then you make a small design cake.”

The first round, Jeff Taylor said, was called Batter Up and the couple only had an hour and a half to do the design. If the second round is achieved, another cake needs to be completed. The theme for that cake was Roald Dahl, the famous storyteller.

Rebels

“We were doing a cake to celebrate his 100th birthday and the winner of the Cake Wars episode gets to display their cake at the 100th birthday or Roald Dahl,” Jeff Taylor said. “That was pretty cool to have a chance to do that.”

Jeff Taylor couldn't share the results of the episode until it aired. He was able to say that the experience was enjoyable and as fast paced as it looks on TV, it's nothing compared to what it is in real time.

“It is unbelievable to try and get that much done in that amount of time, just ridiculously crazy,” he said.

“It was one of those things where you have some sort of a game plan and it kind of blows out the window because it's so fast paced. At that point, you're trying to get your cake done in that short of amount of time.

We're used to being fast paced on the weekend anyway but even compared to that, it was still crazy.”

team was coming into the contest, adding that practice was quiet all week and his players were “My gut was we had really good work in practice and we weren't emotional all week. My gut is usually right, usually, and my gut was we had really good work in practices and my gut told me it was a great sign,” Freeze said. “It told me they were ticked, they were disappointed and they would be ready to go.

And traditionally since I've been here, we've bounced back after tough losses pretty well.”

Ole Miss did bounce back in a big way because Chad Kelly was his usual self in the win, throwing for 282 yards and two touchdowns. Kelly also led the rushing attack, finishing with 53 yards, including a 41-yard touchdown run midway through the third quarter.

The Rebels finished with 510 total yards on just 61 plays. Georgia had 20 more snaps and still did-

n't reach 400. And the most pleasing stat for Freeze to evaluate was no turnovers, at least until the game was well decided.

Ole Miss' defense also clamped down on Georgia freshman quarterback Jacob Eason, who overthrew receivers due to intense pressure. A week after leading the Bulldogs to a come-from-behind win over Missouri, Eason was limited to just 137 yards and sacked three times. His lone interception was also returned 52 yards by Derrick Jones for the Rebels' first touchdown of the game.

“We had some different things in the back end that I didn't think he had seen and I think we collapsed the pocket on him early on,” Freeze said about success against Eason.

The Rebels will return to action for a fourth straight home game Saturday against Memphis.

Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.

OM's Alexander always has Ty Laporte in her heart t may be hard to believe after such a fantastic start to the 2016 season, but there was a time earlier this summer when Taylor Alexander couldn't hit a volleyball inside the lines on the court. The Ole Miss junior middle blocker is hard on herself and in her mind, she wasn't doing what she was recruited to do.

In the end, it took a little defense to get her offense going.

“I focused on blocking and now I'm able to do both. It was something I learned from Ty (Laporte) when I first got here,” Alexander said. “She said if you can't do one thing, then you focus on something else and another way to help the team. If I couldn't block or hit, I got to get my serve in. I have to play strong defense. So when I couldn't hit, I worked on blocking and ended up getting my career high in blocks, which was amazing to me.”

Alexander was able to to get everything going and just before SEC play, she had numbers that astounded even her head coach.

“It's a mind game. You can't focus on the negative, you have to focus on the positive,” she said. “One person's mood or emotions can affect the entire team.”

Earning respect is something the Rebels wanted to do because nobody was going to give the team a win.

“We have a team where we're finally on the same page. We all want the same thing. We want to win and we want to make it to the tournament and be great,” she said. “We want to make our teammates greater and from here on out, it's just about us remembering that we have to earn respect from every team we play because it will not be given to us. We can never let off of the gas.

There is never a day where we can't have our A game.”

Basketball was the sport Alexander started

On a Roll Lafayette finishes ‘first season’ with win over Charleston

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

A win to end the first of three seasons is what the Lafayette Commodores accomplished Friday night against Charleston. The 3421 win over the Tigers was another step in the right direction for Lafayette even if the finish wasn't as good as the start at William L. Buford Stadium.

After losing the first two games of the season, the Commodores are now 3-2 heading into Division 2-4A play. Lafayette jumped all over the Tigers in the first 24 minutes. Jamarcus Quarles scored a touchdown on the ground, while quarterback Will Ard threw two touchdowns. Robbie Langley made two field goals, one going for 46 yards as the Commodores built a commanding 27-0 lead before the half.

Charleston, which has played for the Class 3A state title in recent seasons, made things a bit closer in the second half, but when Lafayette needed to make plays, they seem to always

“They're a good football team with a lot of tradition,” Fair said about Charleston. “They changed and they defensively started walking those linebackers up. Their outside

linebackers were walking up and their inside linebackers were shooting A gaps and they kind of slanted their line. It was an eight-man front and we feel good about that because we have some things on the

back end we can attack. I got real conservative with the three-score lead for most of the half, I felt like let's just grind this thing out.”

Wilfawn leads Chargers’ D in loss to West Point

BY BEN MIKELL SPORTS WRITER

Oxford's defense has been its calling card so far this season, and it certainly showed up early in the game against West Point Green Wave on Friday night.

Despite the 22-8 loss to the Green Wave, inside linebacker Quentin Wilfawn garnered another 10 tackles against West Point, with two tackles going for a loss. He finished with 1.5 sacks and forced Oxford's lone takeaway with an interception to set up the Chargers' only touchdown drive early in the contest. Wilfawn's big night earned him his second player of the week honors this season.

OHS coach Chris Cutcliffe has liked the consistency that Wilfawn has brought to the field, game in

and game out, for the Charger defense.

“Quentin forced a turnover and had (two) big tackles for loss,” Cutcliffe said. “He always plays hard, is physical, plays great assignment football, and is very consistent.

You know what you are going to get from Quentin and that is a very special quality from a football player.”

With the very impressive start to the season Wilfawn already haas 72 tackles on the year, an average of more than 14 tackles per game.

He averages right at two tackles for a loss per game. Cutcliffe didn't specifically point out which colleges were recruiting Wilfawn, but college coaches have noticed him as well.

“People have definitely taken notice of his great start,” Cutcliffe said.

“He has the most important thing and that is putting great consistent play on film and Quentin has done that. People are taking notice.”

Wilfawn attributed his great start to the other 10 teammates on the field, allowing him to do his role extremely well.

“It's mainly just playing together,” Wilfawn said about his success. “I've been out there just doing my job. When we do our job, plays just happen to come.”

Wilfawn helped the Oxford defense slow down West Point's potent offense that has shown the ability to score points at will, limiting the Green Wave to 234 yards of total offense including just 51 yards through the air against Green Wave quarterback Clayton PETRE THOMAS Knight. He leads the team in solo Oxford linebacker Quentin Wilfawn had 10 tackles, an interception and tackles with 20 on the year.

1.5 sacks Friday night.

OT Toles leads another strong effort for LHS up front

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

A picture hugging his mother Samantha was the most gentle Matt Toles was all Friday night. Lafayette's senior right tackle has no problem getting his hands on people. The Charleston Tigers know that as well as anybody.

Toles, and the entire offensive line, mauled a very good defensive front in the Commodores' 34-21 win at William L. Buford Stadium.

Jamarcus Quarles went for 194 yards on the ground, while quarterback Will Ard had time to find receivers for touchdowns. Toles, who is known to his teammates as Sausage, did exactly what his

coaches wanted, and then some.

“He does everything well. I think the thing with Matt that is so impressive is the way that he is able to run block.

It's unbelievable to watch him run block. It's as good as I've ever seen,” said offensive line coach Jason Russell. “His hips are fantastic. He gets really, really low and he has one of the biggest squats – 700 pounds – of anybody that's going to play. When you've got that and you play with really good pad level, that's really, really difficult to deal with as a defender.”

In spots, the offensive line well against played Charleston. Russell added that they played “extremely

well” in the first half.

“I think we kind of got ourselves in trouble leaning in the second half but overall, I would definitely say we had a good performance tonight,” Russell said. “I thought Matt played well in particular. He's a great competitor. He brings up his teammates around him because he's so excited about playing the game. He is one of those guys that just loves what he's doing and that rubs off on everyone around him.”

Toles felt like he played pretty well against Charleston, and as a group, he thought the line played well. He isn't used to playing right tackle, but if it helps the team win, Toles is just fine with the position.

“If that's where I need to be to be successful, then that's where I'll play,” Toles said. “I feel like were in good shape.

We're blocking well and if we continue to improve at practice, then the sky is the limit.”

Lafayette head coach Michael Fair thought the offensive line was doing a tremendous job with Toles leading the group.

“Every single play he gives maximum effort and I'm really pleased with what he brings,” Fair said. “He's got such a contagious personality. Folks like playing with him. He's a lot of fun to play with and a lot of fun to coach, I'll be honest.” john.davis@journalinc.com Twitter: @oxfordcitizenjd

Hard-nosed Rebel Carroll provides strong work ethic for OM soccer

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

On a team filled with toughminded, selfless players, junior midfielder Courtney Carroll is at the top of the list when it comes to an individual who gives it her all in both categories.

“If I have a choice of who I want in my foxhole, my first choice is Courtney Carroll,” Ole Miss coach Matt Mott said. “She is just a warrior, a hard worker. She gives you everything she has all the time.

She's just an absolute winner.

She's coachable. We have a team filled that do what you ask, but she just takes it to a different level.

She is A plus across the board in all of that kind of stuff.”

Carroll, a native of Davidson, North Carolina, took the complements of Mott in stride. She added that she was going to lay it all out for her teammates on the field each match because she knows they would her her.

“If I'm going to expect that

from them, then I definitely need to hold myself to that standard,” Carroll said adding she loved bringing a high level of intensity to matches. “I think I brink that grit to the game. I'm a very physical player. I definitely try to win the ball and get it to our more tactical players. I try to play to my strengths, which are the blue collar things. I let Gretchen (Harknett) and CeCe (Kizer) work their magic on the ball. Bella (Fiorenzo) has the best touch and I try to find them after winning the ball in the air.”

Growing up, Carroll said her parents engrained in her a strong work ethic and never-give-up mentality. “If things aren't going your way, just work harder,” Carroll added. “If you're not having any luck, you better make your own luck. I think that just shows in my play.”

When the Rebels were struggling to score goals earlier this month, Carroll did her part to help the forwards by doing even

JOSH MCCOY/OLE MISS ATHLETICS

Ole Miss junior midfielder Courtney Carroll was praised by coach Matt Mott for her hard work and dedication to the team. better on defense.

“I tried even harder to lock down the defense on the back and keep trying to play balls forward because while we weren't scoring, we still had to keep the

pressure on and we had to keep making the opportunities because they're going to go in at some point,” Carroll said. “It's just a matter of making the opportunities count. It was about keeping

as many goals out of of our net as possible and keeping up with the opportunities. I think our team has experienced a hard time in the last five games or so. We're on track now, but we need to continue to take it one game at a time and with full of intensity and no expectation that we're going to win it.”

Playing with a strong work ethic is what Carroll wants to see the Rebels (6-5 overall, 1-2 in the SEC) continue to do, starting with this afternoon's game against Arkansas.

“I think our team does a good job of holding each other accountable. The moment we sense something is wrong, putting their head down, we pull them back into reality,” Carroll said. “If you put your head down, it's going to infect the team. It's going to be worse, so we definitely try and pick each other up all the time.” john.davis@journalinc.com Twitter: @oxfordcitizenjd

Great 38 race will finish out Ole Miss Grand Prix

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

Even when the Ole Miss Rebels aren't playing football at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, Chucky Mullins' spirit lives on. His legacy has been remembered in a number of ways over the years and the latest addition involves the The Great 38 race.

It's the final of four runs that are part of The Inn at Ole Miss Grand Prix. The course is eight miles and all of it takes place on campus. The run is Oct. 8, the Saturday that the Rebels are off from football.

Marvin King of Run Oxford, the club that helps organize the event, felt like it would be special for the culmination of all the races to end in the stadium.

“We will have the jumbotron on and so as runners enter the stadium for that last final stretch, they can look up and see themselves on the screen.

That's kind of a nice treat,” King said. “Ole Miss Athletics is the lead sponsor for this event and we obviously couldn't do it without them.”

King said that the race will be the first certified eight-mile course in Mississippi and that should allow for all the age group winners to set state records for the distance.

“We're looking forward to that and we hope that will attract some fast runners,” King said. “At the moment, we are right at 420 runners and we're hoping to get up to about 600. I would love 700, but we'll probably get around 600. We're really happy

with that for a first-year race.”

Each of the runners will receive a powder blue, long sleeve Dri Fit T-shirt for taking part in the race, and King felt they would be really popular. King has had people ask him if they would be having another series of races in 2017.

“The short answer is that's the plan. Although, to be honest, we are running short on sponsor dollars and we might have to scale back next year,” King said. “These races are more than we would like to spend and were either looking to get some more sponsor dollars or we might not do so many

races next year. It's something that has helped the club. We're up to about 140 members and we were recently given a grant to help with this Mighty Miler program.

And we think we will have plenty of extra money to help with the Chucky Mullins scholarship. We're doing what we wanted to do, but like any non-profit or small business can tell you, expenses are more than you expect. It's a bit of a struggle and it's been good for us and do our best to keep it going.”

Along with the Great 38 race, there will be Tailgate For Palmer held that night from 6:30 until 10:30. It will be held at the Field Level Club in the stadium and all of the proceeds will go towards the Palmer House for Children. All of those attending are asked to wear Grove attire.

West Point tops OHS to open 1-5A play

BY PAUL JONES SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN

WEST POINT – West Point coach Chris Chambless had to make sure his team wasn’t just focused on revenge Friday.

Yes, the Green Wave had lost five straight to their Division 15A rival. After keeping them focused all week, though, Chambless told them right before the game what was at stake.

And the Green Wave responded Friday with a 22-8 win over Oxford.

“You don’t want to harp on it all week but you know in the back of their heads it’s there,” said Chambless. “We focused on this being our next game and our district opener.”

Lafayette FROM 13

Lafayette can definitely make even the most formidable defense look like hamburger once the offensive line, and Quarles, get rolling. The junior tailback rushed for 194 yards on 26 carries, while Ard completed six passes for 110 yards to balance Quarles' effort. Something that pleased Fair was the ability to hang on to the football and to finish against another good opponent. The first five games have been a challenge, and Fair liked where his Commodores were heading into the Ripley contest.

“We call this the end of our first season, five games through, and we

The lone scoring action in the first half came in a brief wave with two touchdowns in 18 seconds. Oxford took advantage of a West Point turnover in the first quarter. The Chargers took an early 8-0 lead via a Hiram Wadlington short touchdown run and a two-point conversion.

Moments later, Murphy went 67 yards untouched down the left sideline and West Point still trailed 8-7 at halftime.

It was the first halftime lead for Oxford this season.

Midway through the third quarter, West Point’s Ryan Melton forced a fumble of Oxford quarterback John Reece McClure.

On the ensuing series Murphy went 39 yards to give West Point

have three seasons. The second season starts next week and hopefully this will springboard us into district play,” Fair said.

“We feel good with where we are. We're pretty healthy for the most part.

We're happy to have this behind us because this schedule has been brutal.

It's forced us to do some things from a coaching staff standpoint. We had to be ready early and we had to make some key position changes and get things fixed at a real fast pace because of our schedule. If we hadn't, we would have gotten embarrassed out here because we played five quality opponents. It's made us better and we feel like it's going to help us in district play.”

With the changes made,

a 15-8 lead and the Green Wave never trailed again.

“That was a huge shift,” said Oxford head coach Chris Cutcliffe. “They will make the turnovers hurt. Their defensive line played an outstanding game and gave us issues all night. That play was just an example of that. We can't afford turnovers and that is the bottom line against a good team like this. Because they will make the turnovers hurt."

Big plays ultimately made the difference in the game as the Chargers held the Green Wave under 300 total yard.

"We gave up a few big plays and that was it," Cutcliffe said.

"Every big play was made by (West Point) and we didn’t have

and the team now on a three-game winning streak, Fair and his staff can really concentrate on each opponent in the division.

“We're able to get better and the changes are kind of done. We feel good about our personnel, so we're able to go back and really teach fundamentals and technique,” Fair said.

“And try to bring our younger guys along so we can start to establish some depth behind these other guys.”

Offensive line coach Jason Russell agreed that the non-division schedule was a good challenge, and good preparation, for what lies ahead.

“We played a tough non district schedule and I think that does nothing but prepare you for that.

any. Our offense didn’t execute consistently enough and we've got to get better at that. And that starts with me.

"I thought we had a lot of momentum after that fake punt," Cutcliffe said Cutcliffe of the fourth-quarter call. "But then it all disappeared and we had a bad offensive series after that fake punt. We just have to learn to take advantage of our opportunities when we can."

EXTRA POINTS TURNING POINT: Jaylon Webb recovered the third-quarter fumble that led to the Wave’s goahead score.

POINT MAN: West Point junior and Mississippi State commit

When you walk into those games, we're completely ready to go,” Russell said.

“We're a way better offensive line than we were week one, without a doubt.”

TALKING POINT: “Before we came out, we put it in their heads this is more than our next game or first district game. It’s Oxford and we got to roll.” – West Point coach Chris Chambless.

by Terrence Cherry in the third quarter.

Toles felt like the line was blocking well for Quarles, who is creeping up on 1,000 yards.

“It's pretty fun when you have a back like that.

It's fun,” Toles said. “We're happy with where we're

at, but we're not done yet.

We just have to continue to improve each day at practice and play hard every Friday.” john.davis@journalinc.com Twitter: @oxfordcitizenjd
