Kitty Stone honors our veterans LORI TIPPETS teamtip@hotmail.com

Members of the JSU ROTC presented the colors and stood behind the Kitty Stone Singers.

Veterans stood at attention and saluted the students of Kitty Stone for honoring them.

Kitty Stone Elementary School gave a very fitting and at times very moving tribute to veterans in its annual Veteran’s Day program.

The veterans were treated to a reception followed by a program by the Kitty Stone Singers.

Led by music director Lisa Gillespie, the singers sang ‘This is America’, the ‘Star Spangled Banner’, ‘Lights of Freedom’, the ‘Armed Forces Salute’, and all the students participated in singing a ‘Grateful Nation’.

David Duhon, a Navy veteran who served for 31/2 years in Vietnam, spoke for the veterans, telling the students of why it is important to have our military to protect our country, and of the sacrifices that are made by the men and women in the military.

Sixth-grade student, Hannah Grace Weathers, gave a moving tribute to her great-grandfather who was a veteran who escaped capture during World War II. Veterans were asked to stand as the music from their branch of service was played.

The veterans showed their appreciation of the program by standing at attention and saluting the students and faculty of Kitty Stone.

Firefighters begin canned food drive

Teens work to help cancer patients Venecia Benefield Butler was once a teenager. She knows how they can sometimes get distracted and not think about the more important things in life.

She doesn’t believe that rings true with teenagers in Jacksonville, Piedmont and Spring Garden who have stepped up to the plate to help those affected by cancer.

Butler is leading the effort to make life easier for cancer patients. She’s formed Venecia’s Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides aid, support and comfort to cancer patients and their patients.

Butler knows what it’s like to have cancer, and she knows how it affects a family. She’s battled it four times herself.

Jacksonville Fire Department and Jacksonville Professional Fire Fighters Association (JPFFA) Local 3948 will be holding a Canned Food Drive through December 10.

Canned or Dry Food collected will benefit St. Luke’s Episcopal Church Pantry Bag Program. The food can be donated at Station 1 (behind High Tech and Hardee’s) at 506 Chinabee Ave. in Jacksonville between the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day of the drive.

The Pantry Bag program donates bags of canned or dry food to those in need in the Jacksonville area, a week or so before Christmas to alleviate hunger during the holiday season.

“We the members of JFD and JPPFA always want to help the needs of our community. It’s always great to Pay it Forward and help those that we protect especially during the holidays,” said David Bell, president of Local 3948.

This year, the firefighters are teaming up with St. Luke’s Episcopal Church to distribute the food on Saturday, Dec. 14, at the church, located just off the southeast Public Square in Jacksonville. Every month, Jacksonville State students from Canterbury Club, St. Luke’s campus ministry, give away free beans and rice as pantry-fillers to people in need. In December, the students join with the Daughters of the King women’s spirituality group to add a grocery sack of goods to the rice and beans.

“Our college students have been giving away food every month for three years now,” said the Rev. Michael Rich, the priest at St. Luke’s. “It connects them to the needs of

He wasn’t satisfied though. He felt he wasn’t where he needed or wanted to be.

“I was looking for a career change,” he said. “My sister-in-law, Sandy Parker, gave me a name to call about selling insurance. It was J. C. Ralph, area manager of Alfa. It just took off from there.”

Ralph interviewed Penton, had him take a test and hired him.

That was in August 1997. Penton said it seems to be the perfect fit. He sells a multi-line of insurance, including auto, home and life.

Ashley Penton, a Jacksonville native who now lives in Piedmont, always admired his father, Wayne, who sold insurance most of his life. Ashley worked at a number of jobs before he finally found his niche - selling insurance, like his father.

Penton, 43, was born and reared in the Roy Webb and Pleasant Valley communities.. During the summers, while he was attending Pleasant Valley School, he helped build houses.

OPINION/EDITORIAL TOWN & GOWN

A soldier’s journey is never easy: David Emigh’s dedication to country, education

By Ashley Siskey, Graduate Assistant in JSU’s Public Relations Office Veteran’s Day officially was yesterday, but we can never honor those that serve, protect and sacrifice for our country too often. JSU is proud to have many students serving in the Armed Forces. One of these students, Army Reserve Sergeant David Emigh, began his service prior to beginning his studies at JSU, and continues his studies now as a graduate student, while deployed in Afghanistan.

Originally from Weaver, Ala., Sergeant Emigh spent his formative years in Asheville, N.C., where he enlisted in the Army Reserve as a private during his junior year of high school. Prior to graduating from Asheville School in 2005, Sergeant Emigh completed basic combat training as an enlisted combat engineer.

After high school, he completed his advanced individual training as a motor transport operator and was assigned to the 287th Transportation Company (Combat HET) in Anniston, Ala. Sergeant Emigh’s first attempt to begin his college studies was quickly thwarted by deployment to New Orleans to provide relief efforts to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. He had only completed twenty-one days at Marion Military Institute and had to withdraw. Given the schedule of a soldier and working as a full-time employee, he knew he needed to select a university and program that offered the flexibility he needed to successfully complete his undergraduate degree. Offering the exact online flexibility needed, Sergeant Emigh enrolled at JSU in the emergency management program in the fall of 2006.

Less than a year later in June 2007, Sergeant Emigh was deployed to Iraq for thirteen months with the 206th Transportation Company out of Opelika, Ala. Again, he returned to the states and focused on his studies, while working full-time as an air monitoring technician at the Anniston Chemical Agent Disposal

Facility (ANCDF). Then, in November 2009, he deployed for a second time, this time to Forward Operating Base Leatherneck in Afghanistan with the 287th Transportation Company. While there, his company supported multiple branches of the military. “It proved to be a long fourteen month deployment,” says Sergeant Emigh, “but I enjoy what I do and believe that it is important. I wouldn’t trade these experiences for anything – I’ve learned more than I ever thought possible.” Sergeant Emigh received his second Combat Action Badge for exposure to an improvised explosive device.

Upon returning, Sergeant Emigh continued his emergency management studies, worked full-time, and joined the Weaver Volunteer Fire Department, as a fire fighter and EMT. He used his time between deployments to take any opportunity available to further his education and training and completed emergency management professional courses at the Alabama Fire College, Gadsden State Community College, and FEMA. He is also a proud member of Alexandria Lodge Number 208 of the Free and Accepted Masons of Alabama.

In December 2012, six years after enrolling in at JSU, Sergeant Emigh received his BS in Emergency Management with honors. Dr. Jeff Ryan, emergency management department head, remarks, “David Emigh is a soldier scholar. We have a few fine Americans like David in our emergency management program. They never cease to amaze me.

Serving our nation proudly, deployed to a war zone, they tote their textbooks with them and work on their studies in a tent in the middle of the desert. What also amazes me is how they perform so well under such conditions. David is a fine example of this and makes me very proud to say he’s one of our graduates.”

Sergeant Emigh wasted little time and entered the MPA program at JSU in January 2013, while being employed full-time by the Center for Domestic

“When we’re not working, we spend time playing practical jokes on one another, watch movies, go to the gym or run. I miss enjoying my other hobbies back home like photography and hiking.

Stars over my head and under my feet Recently, I discovered a wonderful secret that everyone can enjoy. I saw it while on a night hike as a member of the Anniston Outdoor Association. We hiked to Sweetwater Lake in Talladega National Forest to hear a lecture while viewing stars. What we found were stars beneath our feet. Well, they weren’t exactly stars, but they were as lovely. They were, of all things, spider eyes.

There were 16 men, women, and children walking in a line along a path that meandered alongside a creek.

I wore my new LED headlamp. I pointed it downward in order to spot rocks or tree roots to avoid. A few feet from the trail, among the fallen leaves, I saw what I thought, at first, were water droplets. I stood still and noticed that they were moving. I bent over and looked closer. The glittering dots reflecting my light were from the eyes of countless spiders. I told those closest to me about the discovery, and they, also, became excited about seeing a sparkly forest floor. Those without LED lights could not see them, so we shared our LED lights with each other.

After we trekked onward, we finally arrived at a meadow and heard a Jacksonville State University instructor and an informed AOA member tell us all about the constellations. Then, we hiked back to the return vehicles.

Sherry Kughn

Sherry-Go-Round As soon as I arrived back home, I searched the Internet to learn more about spider eyes on forest floors.

Other people, it seemed, had made similar discoveries, how reflective of light spider eyes are. Also, some people had seen the sparkling forest floor and enjoyed the view.

Just this past weekend, I attended a Christmas party (yes, even before Thanksgiving). I was asking a couple of friends there to guess what kind of sparkles we saw on the forest floor. “It was spider eyes,” one guest piped up.

“I’ve seen them in the forest, and they are beautiful.” So, the secret is out, and now even more nature lovers will know to purchase an LED light and strike out for the nearest leaf-strew florest. They’ll watch the star-like beauty a distance from their feet, quite a treat.

I must mention the purpose of our

trip – the stars. We had worried as we walked that the cloud cover was too thick. But, after we exited the bower of overhead trees, we found a clear, cold night with stars as thick as glitter on a greeting card. We saw the Milky Way and heard the tales of Orion, the great hunter, and other mythological people. A starry sky is in constant motion, we learn, changing with the seasons, which is why we can see certain constellations at times and not at others. Our instructors used a laser pointer to identify the stars, aiming its red beam into the heavens. Of course, they were careful not to point the laser at any passing airplanes. After all, it’s against the law. Everyone was enthusiastic and kept asking questions.

Even more importantly, though, than what we saw, was the fun we had.

We learned new things, ate pizza and crispy s’mores, made new friends, and exercised. Also, we spared special camaraderie, encouraging and assisting one another.

For those who might be interested in joining the Anniston Outdoor Association, go on the Internet search for it. Read about how to become a member. Keith Hudson is a great director, and he has events planned for the remainder each month of the year.

But, most of all, I miss my friends and fiancée,” says Emigh.

In July of 2014, after returning from Afghanistan, Emigh plans to marry his fiancée, Ms. Amanda Snellgrove of Glencoe, Ala. He also plans to continue his JSU studies in the MPA program.

He’s already getting a head start by spending some of his free time reading textbooks that might be used in future MPA classes.

Family will have two generations of nurses Toni Stewart works at RMC

T

MARGARET ANDERSON Journal Correspondent

oni Stewart couldn’t be happier that her daughter, Megan, is following in her footsteps. Toni is a registered nurse. Megan is in her third year at Jacksonville State University where she is also studying to be a registered nurse.

“Certainly, I’m proud for her to have chosen that,” said Toni. “It will make her a wonderful career. It will require a lot of investment from her heart, which will make her be a better person is the way I’ve always looked at it. It’s hard work. Sometimes it can be very good experiences, and sometimes not so much. But you keep going back every day because that’s what you do.”

Toni has worked at RMC-Jacksonville Hospital for the past 22 years. She works in the emergency department as charge nurse where she is responsible for the care of patients and overseeing the team effort for their care.

“I love it,” said Toni. “I like knowing that something we have done that day, whether it’s medical care or a kind word, may have made a difference in a patient. I just really enjoy doing for other people and being able to make whatever they were struggling with a little better.”

She remembers taking her state boards in Montgomery with hundreds of potential registered nurses. It was her 21st birthday.

“It was awful,” she said. “We were in a building something like a convention center with round tables. It was horrible. They had monitors that walked around the whole time you were taking the test. You had to raise your hand to go to the bathroom or get a pencil or anything. They were very strict at that time. It’s not like that these days. Now, it’s done on the computer.”

Toni received her degree at Gadsden State.

Born and reared in Piedmont, she is the daughter of the late Claude and Irene (Martin) Glover. Her brother, Keith Glover, is deceased. Her other brother, Don Glover, is a police officer in Piedmont.

Toni and her husband, Harlan, have been married 22 years. When they were younger, they lived down the street from each other. When Harlan’s father died, Toni went to the funeral. They hadn’t seen each other in years, and Harlan didn’t recognize her. Harlan said to a friend, “Do you see that girl right there? I’m going to marry her.”

That was the story Harlan told Toni. When she asked the friend, he verified Harlan’s story.

Anita Kilgore

Toni Stewart enjoys crocheting.

The Stewarts are members of First United Methodist Church. Toni plays hand bells there.

“If you can read music, you can learn to chime on your count when it’s your turn,” she said.

They perform mostly at Christmas, although sometimes they perform at other holidays.

Toni likes to crochet. Her family recently welcomed triplets, children of Kyle and Heather Glover. She crocheted blankets and hats for each baby in the colors of pink, blue and purple. She chose “Three Peas in a Pod” as the theme for the hats.

Toni and Harlan make a big deal out of Halloween at their home. They decorate the yard and welcome guests and trick or treaters. While she enjoys it, she thinks Harlan has more fun than she.

“He loves to watch the kids, but the truth of the matter is he’s the biggest kid of all,” she said. “It’s wonderful because he loves it so much. He has the house full and the neighborhood full.”

Harlan had a stroke several years ago. Toni said it hasn’t

slowed him down.

“He certainly doesn’t face anything like somebody with an affliction,” she said. “He goes ahead and does whatever he can do.”

Toni enjoys family gatherings. She and Harlan have a pool and welcome family and friends during the summer to swim and enjoy crab boils.

“We use any excuse to get together and enjoy each other,” she said.

Toni said when they married, she could only cook a few things.

“The first thing I tried to fix for him was biscuits,” she said. “I guess I got busy and forgot them. I burned them. I was trying ever so much to make a good impression but it didn’t pan out for me.”

Toni has come a long way since those days. Harlan and Megan enjoy what she prepares. She hasn’t burned the biscuits any more.

CANCER: Teenagers help out From page 1

leaders gave their share money from two football games to Venecia’s Foundation.

“We split the pot,” said cheerleader sponsor Christina Howard. “People buy a ticket for $1 at the games and, at halftime, we draw and whoever has the winning ticket gets half the money collected from the game. Usually cheerleaders get the other half. But we donated money, about $325, from two of the games to go to the foundation. The girls were very excited about doing it. They wanted to be able to take a part and help out.”

Spring Garden’s FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America) sponsor Mandy Pope is proud of her students for their work in helping the foundation.

They made a special effort to collect items for the chemo bags, donated money and worked at a 5K race to benefit the foundation.

“We like helping people,” said Pope. “That’s part of our club’s job is helping people in our community.”

The Piedmont High School Honor Society had several fund-raisers, including a one at Wal-Mart in Centre where they sold t-shirts. As shoppers entered the store, the students gave them a list of items needed for the chemo bags. They were happy with the number who purchased the items.

Meg Crane, honor society sponsor, said she’s proud of the students for helping.

“They continue to amaze me,” she said. Here they were at 7:45 on a Saturday morning out trying to help. They’re a very selfless group of students. It makes me really proud.”

Jacksonville Christian Academy Honor Society sponsor Jeff Moore, is equally proud of that school’s students for helping the foundation. At the 5K run on Oct. 5, the students helped serve breakfast, man the trail and direct traffic.

“We just did whatever we needed to do,” he said. We were glad to help.”

The Jacksonville State University softball team handed out drinks during the race.

Butler said she already knew how her own teenagers react to cancer. Now, it’s showed her how other teens react.

“I want to acknowledge these teenagers for thinking about somebody other than themselves,” said Butler. “I thought they were awesome. At the race, I just basically showed up. As far as the planning and organization, Brittany Heath Wilson and Randy Wilson and so many other volunteers made it happen. But Brittany was the master mind. She’s the one who put it all together and got it going. We had about 150 runners and walkers for the very first one. We’re hoping to have more next year.”

Butler said over $2500 was brought in from the run, which means that volunteers are able to pack more chemo bags.

“There’s still 200 patients in our area who go to Anniston or Gadsden,” she said. “We’ll get bags to them before Christmas.”

Butler welcomes anyone who wants to donate to or help pack the bags. She can be reached by email at veneciabutler@gmail.com or telephone at 452-5145.

Her book, “I’ve Got to Get Some Things Off My Chest,” can be purchased for $15 by sending a check to Venecia’s Foundation, P. O. Box 572, Piedmont 36272.

T-shirts are also available.

Butler is available to speak to churches, schools, groups or organizations.

“I’m grateful for any support anyone gives to the foundation,” she said. “It’s a very worthy cause.”

PENTON: Heard God’s call From page 1

this position with Alfa,” he said. “They’ve really taken good care of me and my family.”

Penton has been a member of Liberty Baptist Church for the past 15 years.

As a Sunday school teacher at Liberty, did a lot of deep thinking and felt as if something was pulling him to go in a certain direction. He just didn’t know what direction that was.

“I asked the Lord if there was something else He wanted me to do, to please let me know,” said Penton. “I had it on my heart that He wanted me to preach. I asked my pastor about it and he said he was just waiting for me to announce it.”

Penton’s first sermon was at Liberty’s homecoming August 2012.

Since January, he’s pastored Goshen Valley Baptist Church.

“We have a great congregation,” Penton said. “We’re a small country church in a country setting. My church and Alfa have made my life and my job so easy.”

Penton and the former Tammi Holland will be married 24 years in December. They have two sons.

Will, 18, is a graduate of Spring Garden and is a freshman at Gadsden State. He assists with football coaching at Spring Garden. Hayden, 15, is in ninth grade at Spring Garden.

Penton likes to hunt and fish, but he said whatever he does, most of the time it’s with his family.

“Ever since we’ve been married, our lives have revolved around our children and church,” he said. “We vacation together and do just about everything together.”

Report from the Jacksonville Women’s Club The club started their new club year in September in the home of Susan Quinn. Club members present were Wendy Boozer, Ranae Coheley, Adrianne Curvin, Joni Ginn, Gina Honts, Dale McCartney, Carol McGinnis, Jane Ponder, Staci Porter, Veronica Porter, Rita Boozer, Margie Rhodes, and Phyllis Wright. Meeting brought to order by club president Adrianne Curvin.

Club donations for the month were monetary donation to cerebral palsy and items were brought for the Red Cross and Calhoun/Cleburne Children’s Center.

Cub members also brought tabs to be donated to the St. Jude’s Hospital in Memphis.

A total of 6.7 pounds of tabs were collected from members. Order forms for Uncle Al’s Nuts and Rada orders were given to members.

The Jacksonville Women’s Club October meeting was hosted by Carol McGinnis.

Tax volunteers needed for RSVP Looking for a different kind of volunteer work? You can volunteer to do taxes in 2014 for lower-income and elderly folks in your community. Nearly 92,000 people said yes this year to helping out during the tax filing season and prepared more than 3.3 million returns at thousands of tax sites nationwide.

For this year Calhoun County RSVP will need volunteers in the Anniston and Jacksonville areas. If you are interested, you will be trained with Internal Revenue Service tax materials to help elderly and low to middle income people with their individual income tax returns.

Through the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), volunteers participate in training sessions — in class, online, and through self-study — then are tested on what they learned. Once certified, volunteers are assigned

rd

to work with more experienced volunteers. Volunteers also learn how to use computer software to prepare taxes and they learn how to interview tax filers to make sure the tax return is correct. In return, volunteers are asked to spend at least 4 hours a week helping at a site from mid January through April 15.

Volunteers don’t have to have experience with taxes. All that is required is a desire to help others who cannot prepare their basic returns or afford to pay a tax preparer.

And you don’t have to be retired or a senior to help or to get help at an RSVP site! RSVP gives special attention to helping filers age 60 and older but neither the volunteers nor the clients are limited to any certain age group.

Don’t wait! For more information or to volunteer, contact the Calhoun County RSVP office at 256-435-5091.

Eagles win, eye second-ranked Oneonta LORI TIPPETS teamtip@hotmail.com

It was like awakening a sleeping giant. The Jacksonville Golden Eagles spotted DAR 16 quick points, all put up in the under six minutes of the first quarter, then powered their way to 49 unanswered points as they beat DAR 49-22 in round one of the state playoffs.

The Eagles can’t afford a late wake up call this week in round two as they travel to Oneonta to face the No. 2 ranked class 4A team. Oneonta demolished West Limestone in round one 56-0.

It took DAR only four plays to score with the touchdown being set up on a long pass.

The two-point conversion was good and the visiting team was quickly up 8-0.

On their first possession the Eagles were forced to punt, and a bad snap sent punter Jackson Bell scrambling. DAR tackled Bell on the Eagles 25 yard-line and this time it took only two plays to cash in, again the two-point conversion was good and with 6:19 left on the clock DAR was up 16-0.

The Eagles were denied a score on a long run by Dominique Thomas when they were called for holding. It didn’t matter. Thomas came back on the next play and with a head of steam powered his way 59-yards to the end zone and a Jacksonville touchdown.

Enough can’t be said of the play of Thomas. The senior was on a mission to get his team to the next round of playoffs. Thomas finished with 260 yards rushing on 19 carries and scored three touchdowns, bringing his total to 23 touchdowns on the year.

Thomas also was successful running in the two-point conversion and with 5:44 remaining in the first quarter the Eagles had cut the Patriots lead in half.

On the next possession DAR fumbled on their fist play and the Eagles Mak Curry alertly fell on the ball on the DAR 15-yard line.

After a one-yard gain by quarterback Bell, Sid Thurmond took the ball and ran it 14-yards in for the touchdown.

Thurmond was another hero for the Eagles, carrying the ball four times for 45 yards and two touchdowns and also had a 40-yard reception for a touchdown and an interception.

Following the Thurmond touchdown, the Eagles attempted another two-point conversion to tie the score, but this time it was no good.

Jacksonville put another quick score on the board. Senior Payton Sims intercepted a DAR pass and returned it to the Eagles 49-yard line. Bell called his own number and ran the ball to the 14-yard line. After a penalty moved the Eagles back five, Bell raced around the left end and down the sidelines for the third Jacksonville score of the night. Bell hit Thurmond for a two-point conversion and the Eagles had taken the lead 22-16.

The Eagles made the most of the 3:08 still remaining in the first quarter. After DAR went three and out the Eagles

The Eagles led 28-16 at the end of the first quarter.

The Eagles scored again on their first possession of the second quarter on a 40-yard pass from Bell to Thurmond.

The extra point by Mason Tompkins was good.

The Patriots were able to move the ball down the field but a tough Jacksonville defense held DAR on fourth down at the Jacksonville 31.

With the Patriots back pedaling, the Eagles had no trouble

With the ball on the ten-yard line Thomas took it into the end zone once more and with Tompkins kick had a more than comfortable 42-16 lead at the half.

Coming out of the locker room Thomas put a damper on the Patriots hopes as on the first play from scrimmage he ran the ball 64-yards for his last touchdown of the game.

Tompkins extra point was again good and it had taken the Eagles only 23 seconds to go up 49-16.

DAR scored a final time but the Eagles had the game wrapped up.

Jenkins, Thomas win OVC awards BRENTWOOD, Tenn.

- Jacksonville State’s Eli Jenkins and Griffin Thomas each earned Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Week honors on Sunday following the Gamecocks 68-10 win over Eastern Kentucky, the league office announced.

Jenkins was named both the Offensive Player of the Week and Newcomer of the Week, while Thomas earned Special Teams Player of the Week.

It marks the second time both players have earned OVC Player of the Week honors this season.

Jenkins led the Gamecocks to their biggest margin of victory over an OVC foe by rushing for 120 yards and three touchdowns to hand Eastern Kentucky their worst-ever conference loss.

The Birmingham native scored on touchdown runs of 71, 5 and 21 yards, while helping an offense roll up 503 yards against one of the OVC’s top defensive teams.

Thomas set a pair of school records on Saturday by scoring 14 points as he continues to close in on the OVC record for field goals in a season.

Thomas kicked two field goals, including a school-record tying 52-yarder go give JSU a 3-0 lead early in the first quarter. It was his second 50-plus yard field goal of the season.

The Snellville, Ga., native then kicked a 33-yard field goal at the end of the first half for his 20th made field goal of the season (out of 24 attempts) and is just two behind the OVC record of 22 made field goals.

Jacksonville State wide receiver Telvin Brown gets taken down by a shoestring tackle by Eastern Kentucky defensive back Kiante Northington.

Jacksonville keeps playoff hopes alive Saturday’s Jacksonville State-Eastern Kentucky showdown was a de facto playoff playin game for both teams.

The Gamecocks, one of four teams that began the day with two OVC losses, were in desperate need of a win to have an outside shot at the league title and keep their playoff hopes alive.

With Ohio Valley Conference leader Eastern Illinois having already beaten EKU, the Colonels arrived at Burgess-Snow Field looking to maintain their grip on second place in the league standings.

The opportunistic Gamecocks (8-2, 4-2 OVC) ran roughshod over Eastern Kentucky to claim a 68-10 victory in front of a crowd of 16,876.

The win was JSU’s third straight and snapped the Colonels’ threegame win streak in the series.

The 68 points were the most ever scored by Jacksonville State against an OVC opponent, eclipsing the previous record of 59 scored against UT-Martin in 2004.

“It was as good a performance as I’ve ever been involved with,” Jacksonville State coach Bill Clark said. “I knew we were ready. We took some chances and it paid off.”

Eli Jenkins ran for three touchdowns and DaMarcus James and Troymaine Pope had two each as the Gamecocks piled up 503 yards of total offense.

James now has 19 TDs this year,

tying him with Oscar Bonds (2004) for most in JSU history in a single season. The junior from Demopolis has scored 18 touchdowns over his last seven games.

Eastern Kentucky – which came to Jacksonville riding a four-game win streak – fell to 6-4 and 4-2.

Jacksonville State led 40-3 at halftime after holding the OVC’s top rushing team to 25 yards on 24 carries.

It was the most points in a half by a Gamecocks’ squad since scoring 41 in the second half against Cumberland in 2001.

JSU scored on six of its nine offensive possessions in the first half and added a defensive TD when linebacker Michael Carlisle forced an EKU fumble and Ketrick Wolfe recovered in the end zone.

Wolfe’s score was the Gamecocks’ third touchdown in a span of 6 minutes, 12 seconds.

Jacksonville State outgained the Colonels 339-67 in the first half and 503-213 for the game.

Griffin Thomas got the onslaught started with a career-long 52-yard field goal on JSU’s second series.

Thomas’ kick also tied Steven Lee’s 10-year-old school mark for longest field goal.

Ben Endress blocked an Eastern Kentucky punt moments later and JSU needed just two plays to get into the end zone.

Pope ran in from the 6 with 7:37 to go in the first quarter to give the Gamecocks a 9-0 lead.

The Colonels got on the scoreboard with a 34-yard field goal by Andrew Lloyd at the 2:53 mark in the first quarter to cut JSU’s lead to 9-3.

Jacksonville State’s 21 points in just over six minutes turned what had been a close game into a rout.

James scored on an 11-yard run to cap a six-play drive that consumed just 1 minute, 44 seconds.

Thomas’ extra point made it 16-3, the most points the Gamecocks had scored in a first quarter in four seasons.

Backup quarterback Jenkins sprinted 71 yards up the middle for a score and Thomas tacked on the PAT for a 23-3 lead with 10:55 left in the second. Wolfe’s fumble recovery in the end zone 57 seconds later extended JSU’s cushion to 30-3 early in the second quarter.

James finished off an eight-play, 62-yard drive with a 9-yard run with 2:20 remaining in the second, moving him into a tie with Bonds atop JSU’s single-season touchdown record.

Thomas’s 33-yard field goal, his second of the game, on the final play of the first half made it 40-3.

“That’s one of the best halves I’ve ever been part of, and I’m talking about against a good team,” Clark said. “The team totally bought in and believed in what we were telling them all week.”

Starting quarterback Max Shortell threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to freshman Josh Barge and Jen-

kins ran five yards as Jacksonville State pushed its lead to 54-10 by the end of the third quarter.

Eastern Kentucky’s only touchdown came on its first drive after halftime when the Colonels marched 79 yards in 20 plays, capped by Jared McClain’s 2-yard run. The time-consuming drive ate 8 minutes, 21 seconds off the clock.

In the fourth quarter, Pope tacked on a 25-yard run and Jenkins went 21 yards for the Gamecocks’ final points with 4:35 remaining.

Jenkins led the Gamecocks with 120 yards rushing on only seven carries. Shortell completed 14-of20 passes for 190 yards with one touchdown.

The Gamecocks face their biggest challenge of the season when they travel to face No. 2 Eastern Illinois at O’Brien Stadium in Charleston, Ill. The Panthers are 9-1, 6-0 in OVC, following their 37-17 win at Murray State on Saturday.

Eastern Illinois currently has a streak of scoring in 122 consecutive games, the longest streak of any OVC school.

EIU senior quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo led the Football Championship Subdivision in total passing yards, passing touchdowns and passing yards/game and was second ranked in total offense and points responsible/game prior to his team’s game against Murray State.

Kickoff is at noon.

THE STAFF OF

Illinois hands Gamecocks second loss CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - A slow start by the Jacksonville State men’s basketball team opened the door for Illinois on Sunday, and the Illini jumped out to an early lead and held on for an 86-62 win at the State Farm Center.

The Gamecocks (0-2) couldn’t recover from the slow start and shot .329 from the floor, while the Illini (2-0) seemingly couldn’t miss on a night that saw them shoot .525 on their end.

Senior Brian Williams led JSU with 12 points and was the only player in red in double figures. The Lawrenceville, Ga., native runs his career total to 962 and moves past Courtney Bradley into fifth on the school’s Division I career scoring list.

Against a bigger Illini lineup that outrebounded their opening foe by 24 boards, the Gamecocks won the battle on the glass, 44-37. Junior D.J. Felder and senior Nick Cook each had 10 boards to lead that charge, while adding eight and seven points, respectively, in the loss. Sophomore Mike Louder had a career-high seven points and four boards off of the bench, while junior Darion Rackley managed eight points.

Joseph Bertrand led the UI charge with a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds, while Tracy Abrams and

Rayvonte Rice each had 13 points.

Nnanna Egwu and Jaylon Tate each added 10, while Egwu had seven boards and five of his team’s 11 blocks.

The Gamecocks struggled out of the gates, going 5:18 after the opening tip before Rackley found the basket for their first field goal of the game. In the meantime, the Illini stormed out of the gates to build as much as a 16-point lead in the first half.

JSU found ways to keep it from getting further out of hand and went into the halftime locker room trailing 40-27.

Rackley had eight to lead JSU in the first half, while the trio of Egwu, Bertrand and Rice were a combined 11-for-13 to score 30 points in the half.

Bertrands’ 14 led all players, while JSU held a slight advantage on the glass at the midway point.

Williams opened the second half with a pair of 3-pointers that cut the Illini lead to single digits in the first four minutes, but the Illini had another answer. Tate scored six of their next eight points to stretch their lead to 57-40 by the second media timeout.

Illinois had a counter for every punch the Gamecocks threw at them down the stretch to hold on for the win.

The Gamecocks now move on to Chicago for their third game in the

state of Illinois in five days. They play at Chicago State today at 7 p.m. CT in a game that will be broadcast live on the JSU Radio Network. The Cougars also offer a video stream of the game on their site, www.gocsucougars.com.

Bradley 72, JSU 65 PEORIA, Ill. - Bradley built a slight first-half advantage and then held off the Jacksonville State men’s basketball team to win the season opener for both teams, 72-65, on Friday at Carver Arena.

The Gamecocks forced Bradley’s go-to guy and the NCAA’s active leader in career points Walt Lemon into a 2-for-13 start from the floor, but the senior keyed the late run that helped the Braves (1-0) create enough separation to hold off JSU and pick up the win in the first meeting between the two programs.

Junior Grant White led three Gamecocks in double figures with a 16-point night that saw him go 3-for-4 from behind the 3-point line. The Monroeville, Ala., native keyed a pair of JSU runs in the game with big 3-pointers, while fellow juniors Darion Rackley and D.J. Felder added 13 and 10, respectively.
