A sit-down with the president ASB President Barron Mayfield was inaugurated last Friday after winning 53% of the vote in a runoff election on April 4. News Editor Griffin Neal sat down with Mayfield to discuss his vision for campus, student representation on IHL and his favorite meal in Oxford.

GN: What’s your main goal for this school year? BM: Policy wise, there are two big things I want to accomplish. One, look at raising the student activities fee. That is a $10 fee that students pay and that goes to fund every single organization we have on campus. They are able to request money for that for their organization, and then we budget the money out and give it to those organizations. So raising it $10 would double it, which would — right then and there — double the amount of money we’re able to spend on our student organizations and give out to them. (That) means that they would be able to go out and accomplish their mission better, whatever that is, for different organizations. But you’d be able to see more speakers come in, bigger names, (and) organizations would be able to do more programming, put on events. Service organizations would be able to complete more

service projects for the community but also serve the students better. There’s a lot that can be done with that. That being said, if we get back in the fall and students are super interested in it, then we’ll kind of back off. The other thing would be a total rewrite of the ASB code. It is completely out of whack right now, to put it lightly. There are a lot of contradictions in it. It doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t flow well together. So those two things would be my top priority. GN: Is raising the student activities fee something that has to go through IHL? BM: Yeah, it would have to go through IHL. But I think it was this past fall that Delta State raised a student activities fee of $25. So now theirs is over twice what ours is, and several other schools have done it over the last few years. So if we can say that students are behind raising the fee, we can take it to them and I’m pretty confident that they’d be willing to up it.

The Confederate cemetery is south of the Tad Smith Coliseum on campus and is the potential relocation site for the Confederate statue that is currently in the University Circle.

The university is currently working with the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH) to receive a permit for the relocation of the Confederate monument on campus, which must happen before the proposed move can be submitted to the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning for final approval. Almost two months have passed since the student body demanded the relocation of the

Confederate monument from the head of the Circle to the Confederate cemetery behind the Tad Smith Coliseum through a unanimously passed Associated Student Body Senate resolution. Yet, the statue remains unmoved. Because the statue is located in the Circle, which are both Mississippi landmarks, the next step is for MDAH to issue the university a permit before the issue can be brought to IHL.

senior administrator. I want to take a nontraditional path with my farewell column and use my last byline to urge the student body to support an independent, rigorous and fair news desk. Every day that I walk into the Student Media Center, I feel incredibly lucky, because anyone who is afforded the opportunity to work for this award-winning publication should feel a sense of awe and understand the gravity of continuing the legacy of journalists who were historically censured for doing the right thing. But this year has felt different. It’s felt like DM editors have faced more opposition, worked twice as hard and jumped through more hoops to get honest answers out of people who should welcome questions — the same people who have taught us to ask them to hold the university accountable. This year, neo-Confederate activists marched on our campus, eight basketball players kneeled, our chancellor resigned, professors published a report detailing systematic racism on our campus and the namesake of our journalism school published a racist, sexist post on social media. This community needs an independent and aggressive news desk now more than ever. The role of the DM in our student body is to reveal the truth even when people attempt

to skew or hide the truth — no matter how ugly or malevolent the truth may be. We are not here to protect and embellish the image of the university. We are not here to be the university’s public relations instrument. We never will be. We were created as a separate entity to hold administrators and student leaders accountable — to inform you, the university community. There will always be people who will continue to try to prevent the DM from pursuing the truth without fear, but there is not a single ASB executive officer, senior administrator, public relations official or university lawyer who will ever succeed in doing this. I’m not saying the DM shouldn’t highlight professors’ and students’ accomplishments. In fact, we have done so numerous times this year. But I want to encourage the student body to support The Daily Mississippian and continue to ask us for more in-depth news coverage. We don’t stay up until 1 a.m. working for the money or the recognition. We do this because we care about you, and we want you to be as informed as possible about what is going on behind the closed doors of the Lyceum. So, I’m asking you, the student body, to counteract

half-hearted and lazy attempts to stifle and manipulate DM editors and, instead, support the good journalism that comes out of this paper. I joined this editorial staff because I saw a lack of in-depth stories and rigorous reporting from the news desk, and I made it my goal as a news editor to try and request more public records from the university and demand more transparency from ASB candidates. Next year, a new chancellor is likely to be selected and the Confederate monument is set to be relocated. So, when you read an article that shows an ASB candidate isn’t being forthright or that university communications won’t return a request for comment or that administrators haven’t been transparent, I’m asking you to stand with the DM in holding people accountable and demanding our leaders address long-held grievances expressed by students and faculty. I know Griffin Neal and Hadley Hitson, as the next news editors, will continue this goal of asking tough questions and improving the news desk in ways I could never think of. They are the editors who will need your support next year. If readers ever want a subjective view of our campus filled with Pollyanna positivity, the university’s public relations website is available 24/7.

STATUE

a lot of work to be done by the university, MDAH and IHL before the relocation can come to fruition, but there is not much else students can do besides advocate to IHL. “The role of the student body, regrettably, at this point, is not what it was before,” Chappell said. “What remains that is within the access of your average student or community member here is advocating to IHL to the extent that that is possible.” Katie Dames, outgoing ASB Senator and another author of the ASB resolution, said she and the other authors have met with Interim Chancellor Larry Sparks to discuss the specifics of this process

continued from page 1 According to MDAH public information officer Michael Morris, the department has already received a notice of intent to move the monument signed by Ian Banner, the university director of facilities planning. “MDAH staff will review plans and specifications for the move to ensure that they comply with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Treatment of Historic Properties,” Morris said. “Once the review process is complete, the issue will be placed on the agenda of the Board of Trustees.” President of the IHL Board of Trustees Shane Hooper said that while IHL is the governing body that must approve the relocation, they have not yet been in communication with the university about the proposed move. “No agenda items related to the statue have been brought to the Board of Trustees for approval at this time,” Hooper said. John Chappell, outgoing president of the College Democrats and one of the authors of the ASB resolution to relocate the monument, said he is aware of a justification for the statue relocation that MDAH is working on to prepare alongside

moving forward, something the authors were especially concerned with considering that many of them are either graduating or studying abroad in the coming year. “Even though the resolution is out of the hands of ASB, this is something we, (the authors), continue to talk about among ourselves, and it’s something that we’re really interested in keeping going and ensuring happens,” Dames said. University associate director of communications Rod Guajardo said in a statement to The Daily Mississippian that there has not yet been any update on their end of the process.

2 dead, 4 injured in shooting on UNCC campus ASSOCIATED PRESS A man armed with a pistol opened fire on students at a North Carolina university during the last day of classes Tuesday, killing two people and wounding four, police said. Officers who had gathered ahead of a campus concert raced over and disarmed the suspect. The shooting prompted a lockdown at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte and caused widespread panic across campus as students scrambled to take shelter. “Just loud bangs. A couple loud bangs and then we just saw everyone run out of the building, like nervous, like a scared run like they were looking behind,” said Antonio Rodriguez, 24, who was visiting campus for his friend’s art show. UNCC Campus Police Chief Jeff Baker said authorities received a call in the late afternoon that a suspect armed with a pistol had shot several students. He said officers assembling nearby for a concert rushed to the classroom building and arrested the gunman in the room where the shooting took place. “Our officers’ actions definitely saved lives,” Baker said at a news conference.

He said two people were killed, and three remained in critical condition late Tuesday. He said a fourth person’s injuries were less serious. Students were among the victims, but officials would not say how many. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department identified the suspect as Trystan Andrew Terrell, 22. They said he’s in custody with charges pending. Monifa Drayton, an adjunct professor, was walking onto campus when she heard the shots. She said she directed students fleeing the scene to take cover inside a parking deck. “I heard one final gunshot and I saw all the children running toward me,” she said. “We started to get all the children pulled into the second floor of the parking deck and the rationale was if we’re in the parking deck and there’s a shooter and we don’t know where he is, he won’t have a clear shot.” She added: “My thought was, I’ve lived my life, I’ve had a really good life, so, these students deserve the same. And so, whatever I could do to help any child to safety, that’s what I was going to do.” The suspect’s grandfather Paul Rold of Arlington, Texas, said that Terrell and his father moved to Charlotte from the Dallas area about two years ago after his mother died. Terrell taught himself French and Portuguese with the help of a language learning program his grandfather bought him and was attending UNC Charlotte, Rold said. But Terrell never showed any interest in guns or other weapons and the news he may have been involved in a mass shooting was stunning, said Rold, who had not heard about the Charlotte attack before being contacted by an Associated Press reporter.

AP PHOTO: JASON E. MICZEK Police secure the main entrance to UNC Charlotte after a fatal shooting at the school on Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C. “You’re describing someone foreign to me,” Rold said in a telephone interview Tuesday night. “This is not in his DNA.” Shortly after UNC Charlotte issued a campus lockdown, aerial shots from local television news outlets showed police officers running toward a building, while another view showed students running on a campus sidewalk. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department later said that the campus had been secured and that officers were going through buildings to let people who were hiding know that it was safe to come out. The university has more than 26,500 students and 3,000 faculty and staff. The campus is northeast of the city center and is

surrounded by residential areas. Spenser Gray, a junior, said she was watching another student’s presentation in a nearby campus building when the alert about the shooting popped up on everyone’s computer screens. She said she panicked: “We had no idea where he was ... so we were just expecting them at any moment coming into the classroom.” Susan Harden, an UNCC professor and Mecklenburg County Commissioner, was at home when she heard of the shooting. She went to a staging area, she said, to provide support. Harden said she has taught inside the Kennedy building, where the shootings occurred. “It breaks my heart. We’re

torn up about what’s happened,” Harden said. “Students should be able to learn in peace and in safety and professors ought to be able to do their jobs in safety.” North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said at a briefing late Tuesday that a “hard look” was needed into how the shooting happened and how to keep guns off campus and out of schools. “A student should not have to fear for his or her life when they are on our campuses,” Cooper said. “Parents should not have to worry about their students when they send them off to school. And I know that this violence has to stop. ... In the coming days we will take a hard look at all of this to see what we need to do going forward.”

continued from page 1 GN: What’s your ideal philosophy for the whole of ASB next year? BM: I really want to make sure that everybody working for it feels like they have a purpose, like they’re doing an important job. And I think that is best done by doing purposeful work for the students. Right now, ASB kind of has its hands in a lot going on, on campus and I really want to do a critical assessment of what we’re doing, what we’re involved in, and then ask ourselves why and say, ‘If this isn’t the best way we can serve the students and if we can’t do this better than anyone else on campus, then we just don’t need to be doing it.’ So I would say providing a sense of purpose for ASB. GN: Specifically, what within ASB would you cut or repurpose? BM: Things like Active Minds and Safe Ride. Those are ASB agencies right now, but they’re entirely self-governing. They operate on their own, and we provide oversight and when they need help, they come to us. But really they operate independently (from) ASB. I’d like to see a couple other programs move that way, whether that’s Everybody’s UM, which puts on Everybody’s Tent and Everybody’s Formal. I think those events have grown to

ning them off so they can really take on their own thing and be-

come stronger, without us holding them back and without us having

to spend our time and resources kind of bringing that along. GN: Why are you here? Why did you run for the highest student position on campus? BM: I think we have a lot of opportunity on our campus. Elam (Miller) put in place a lot of important policies and procedures and did a lot of important advocacy work, especially when it came to student representation on administration boards, specifically these chancellor standing committees. I’m really pushing for representation there. I saw an opportunity to take advantage of that and really use it to harness the student voice and get what we want done, be it big or small to get that done. GN: As an ASB senator, and in your campaign, you were vocal in support of moving the Confederate monument to the cemetery. Being the representative of the student body, how do you plan to push that forward and put pressure on IHL to act? BM: I think the students have made their voices heard on it. Senate had a unanimous vote, and we have a really diverse senate. We had a lot of different voices in there. We had a lot of different voices in there and people

I think the students have made their voices heard on it. Senate had a unanimous vote, and we have a really diverse senate. We had a lot of different voices in there. We had a lot of different voices in there and people from different places on campus, different backgrounds, and it was a unanimous vote.

from different places on campus, different backgrounds, and it was a unanimous vote. I think where we go from here is continue to lobby the administration, continue to lobby IHL and say, ‘This is our campus, and we’ve spoken, so let’s get it done.’ GN: Speaking of IHL, you campaigned on getting student representation on IHL. Chancellor Larry Sparks said attempting to do so “is a waste of time.” Is it still a goal of yours to get student representation on the board? BM: We increased the student voice on IHL over this past year, and I want to continue to do that. I know that by the end of my term, students will not have a seat on the IHL, because it’s a process that will take changing the Mississippi Constitution and at a minimum, you’re looking at a three, four,

five-year process at best. So I’m not sitting here blowing smoke saying we’re going to get this representation, but if it’s going to take five, six years, then we’ve got to start somewhere, and I think the work was started last year. I hope to take that on and continue it, and make sure that our voices are heard, saying that we want a seat on it. GN: Ole Miss will likely choose a new chancellor before the fall semester begins. What’s your picture of the ideal next chancellor? BM: Definitely what we’ve got to find in the next chancellor is someone who can connect with students and build relationships with them (not only) on an individual level, but also with the student body as a whole. I think that’s (something) that’s been lacking in the past. And then I’d also say someone

GN: Is achieving diversity a goal in your cabinet? In ASB as a whole? BM: (Diversity) is something that I strive for. Not just diversity, but diversity of thought, of background, of program of study. I mean, this is the Cabinet of the Associated Student Body, so

we’ve got to make sure that we are representing student voices from all over campus, not just one group over here or one group over there. GN: Best meal in Oxford? BM: Red Snapper from City Grocery. GN: Jordan or Lebron? BM: Jordan. GN: Last song you listened to? BM: Last Nite by The

Strokes. GN: Favorite U.S. president? BM: Teddy Roosevelt. GN: How many pushups can you do without stopping? You may or may not be asked to prove it. BM: I would guess, maybe like 40? Maybe lower. That might be ambitious. This conversation was edited for length and clarity.

Talking tunes with Andrew Newman LIAM NIEMAN

THEDMFEATURES@GMAIL.COM

Newman spoke about his album, his musical process and his life outside of songwriting the week before his EP, “Noom,” comes out. LN: What’s your vision for the album “Noom”? What’s the concept that you’re kind of going for? AN: The concept of it is songs I wrote that I thought went together that I liked and thought were most true to me. That’s why it’s called “Noom,” because I feel like that’s what most people call me and I just wanted to make music that I enjoyed and thought kind of embodied the time spanning from when I wrote the first song to the last song. LN: What’s new about this album? AN: I just kind of started listening to different music, some of which was the same, but I don’t know. I’ve grown

up listening to like ‘60s-type music. I tried to listen to like, I don’t know what it is. It’s just music I’m into right now. And that’s what kind of influenced it from like The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash. LN: I picked up on some of that kind of like lush sound of the ‘60s. AN: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m glad you used that word. Oh, and Phil Spector (was an influence) too. LN: What is the technical process for making music for you? AN: It’s always a little bit different, but, once I have a song, I’ll just lay down, instrument by instrument, and then kind of tweak it until it’s finished. And some of them take like 40 minutes and then some of them take like two years to get exactly how I want. But I sample drums

I try to play guitar every day, and there are moments I even tried to write a song every day. I’ve written a trillion songs, which is frustrating because I wish I could just record them all and then move on and create another one.” Andrew Newman Ole Miss junior and musician

and I edit the heck out of it. I don’t know, I just tweak everything until it sounds good enough for me, I guess. LN: This album is still you working by yourself? AN: Completely, yes. LN: On track five, “Great Things,” we get kind of this, like, vision of what you want to do. It’s really dreamy, forward-looking. And, then, you talk on track six, “Bully,” about how there’s something inside of you that’s holding you back from all that. What’s that all about? AN: I have voices in my head that just hold me back and make me overly critical of everything. Like not even just music. Definitely music, but even just interactions with people. I mean, like, it’s just a depression thing. I’ll just have really high highs, like “Great Things,” and really low lows. Um, and that’s pretty much it. It just gives me doubt with everything. LN: How do you wrestle with that while putting the album out in the world, all of these songs that you’ve worked for a really long time on? AN: Oh, I wrestled for sure. It’s, I don’t know. It’s tough, man. And especially since I haven’t really, besides two songs, released anything since high

school and I feel like I’ve had a fairly good foundation. And so I just want people to like it, but I also don’t want to compromise me being, like, true to what I like, even if it’s a different sound. And I think it is a different sound. So, yeah, I mean I’m definitely nervous, but I’m absolutely proud and I love listening to it. I love the way it sounds. LN: What is it like to take like real life things and then put them out there in a form that people might know what you’re talking about, but other people may have no idea? AN: With that, it’s more about feeling and lots of times the words don’t even necessarily — the words definitely matter, absolutely matter — but lots of times I’ll feel something that’s not necessarily said in the song and the feeling’s more important to me than that. It’s just all about feeling and if I can be true to it. LN: You put out an EP in late high school, so how much of (“Noom”) do you feel is different because of your experiences in college and just in Oxford? AN: Just because a lot of things have changed and, like, I’ve grown up a little bit more. There are a few moments in my life that have kind of really struck me to be

way more serious about my art. I’ve just grown up a little bit more. I’m definitely not mature. (Newman laughs.) LN: You said you are “serious about your art,” so what does that look like for you? How do you stay disciplined with something? It’s not like you’re taking classes, obviously, that you’re making this album for. So how do you stay focused on that? AN: By “serious about my art,” that means not even being overly serious about it. Like, not putting my identity in it, but just enjoying it and creating it. And keeping creating it, and being true. Making sure that whatever I record or write or say is true and honest. So, hopefully someone could be enjoying it, feel what I feel. LN: With a couple of the shows that I’ve been to that you’ve played at, something that I’ve noticed is — at least at Ole Miss there are very clear social divisions of people. Like, you know, the kind of people that go to house shows and things that are usually not hanging

out with people that are in fraternities and sororities. It seems with your shows, that there’s kind of a fusion of those crowds. And I was wondering if you’ve noticed that. What do you have to say about that? AN: Oh, dude. I mean, that’s what I would hope, that I’m playing for people in general and not playing for, like, a scene. I mean just anyone who enjoys it. Partly because I’ve been ostracized from a lot of things in the past and I’ve ostracized people in the past. So ever since I got to college, I just want to know that anyone can actually end up being friends if they can all just meet in the same place and actually have a conversation and get to know each other. That’s more than even the music. I want as many people there as possible, and I like the fusing of different scenes and for people to not be against each other, to find some kind of common ground. LN: Thinking about the song “Great Things,” you’re kind of thinking about some possible future plans, and I was just wondering what your actual future plan is. What do you want to do after you graduate? AN: This semester I kind of made up my mind that I should try to like, go for it with music. Whatever way that could be, whether I’m writing songs and being an artist or working in a studio for other people. I don’t know what that would end up like, but I definitely want to give it a shot because it’s where my mind always jumps off to. And whenever I listen to music, I want to make a song like it. LN: Do you feel like you need to live more to be as good of a musician as you can be? AN: No, but I’ll live more regardless. It’s all just like channeling in what you’re experiencing now. Some people are famous ... and good musicians whenever they’re 13. Some people have peak moments whenever they’re older, like R.L. Burnside, who made one of his best albums right before he died. So, I don’t know, it’d be different. Like, I’m sure that there are some people who have regular jobs and make music on

And maybe there’s someone who’s been successful with it and really became a great musician that way. But for me, I kind of feel like I’ve been trying to do that and I just feel kind of limited, because I spend my creative and emotional energy on other things that have nothing to do with what I actually want to do. So I just want to see what would happen if I was in a situation where my survival mode was turned on and I had to focus on my craft and see what happens. LN: How, with everything — with all the other commitments with college and everything — do you designate specific times for music-making, or is it just something that’s part of your dayto-day life that you try to incorporate? AN: I try to play guitar every day, and there are moments I even tried to write a song every day. I’ve written a trillion songs, which is frustrating because I wish I could just record them all and then

move on and create another one. But some days I’m so tired and exhausted or I have too many things to do that I don’t end up doing any music. It’s tough right now, but it’s still good. I mean, there are some moments where I’m like, “Man, I’m glad I have this time.” It’s almost the fact that I was held back previously has given me something to talk about or sing about. LN: What are you doing this summer? AN: It is up in the air. I’m playing with the idea of moving to (Los Angeles). I don’t know anything about LA. ... well, I know some about it, but I’ve never been out there. I might have an internship. They told me they’re going to let me know, and if I get this internship out in LA, I’ll go there and try to work in a studio with some people I know. If not, I’ll stay in Oxford and try to record another album. LN: To circle back around to the album before we end, what’s your favorite song on it? AN: They all have different

energies or feelings that I like, and some of them were better mixed than others, but I mean, that’s just what’s going to happen whenever I’m doing it myself and can’t make it sound as good as Phil Spector. But, I don’t know, I feel like the truest is “Blue Noom.” I feel like that one’s a play of my life, kind of. If there were a musical or something. That’s just different scenes that I definitely connect with and continuously connect with from my life. LN: Were there any songs that were particularly difficult to write either because it was hard to write about the subject matter or because it was difficult to

come up with the tune? AN: Actually, all of the songs that are on the album were written in like 20 minutes to an hour, on the guitar. And some of them took forever to get the way I wanted it to sound recording wise. But, yeah, I usually like the songs that are written the most quickly. I feel like that’s a common thing, too, sometimes. But there have been times where there’s been a verse I needed and they came along later. But for these songs, I think they were all written pretty quickly. This conversation was edited for clarity and length.

GPA Boosters: Early grades for the defensive depth chart JOSHUA CLAYTON

THEDMSPORTS@GMAIL.COM

The Ole Miss football team lost 22 upperclassmen to graduation or the NFL this offseason. Around 13 of these players were key contributors. Matt Luke and company will have a hard time bolstering an already lacking defense trying to install the 3-4, but an important factor in competing in the grindhouse that is the SEC is depth. “We’ve gotten better. I feel like they’ve started to learn it, we’ve still got a long way to go,” new defensive coordinator Mike McIntyre said after this year’s Grove Bowl. “It’s going to be important how their summer goes, our walkthroughs in the summer and then when we get back in fall camp. We’ve got a lot installed but we’ve still got more to do.” We’ll take an early look at each position group on the defensive depth chart and grade it based on skill, experience and depth. DL: Benito Jones, Josiah Coatney, Austrian Robinson, Hal Northern, Ryder Anderson, Ty Reyes Grade: C This grade was going to be a B, but then I sat back to reminisce about last year’s defensive front.

Grade: TBD Mike McIntyre’s 3-4 defense calls for the use of the standup outside linebacker, which has been an adjustment for the Landshark defense. The position asks players to do things a little bit differently on the edge. Linebackers have had to move down to the line of scrimmage while defensive ends take their hand out of the dirt for the first time. “They have improved. I think at first they were like a fish out of water, and now they can swim in the water, but not very long,” McIntyre said. “I’ve felt good about it. I’ve seen steady improvement everyday and I definitely think they can do it.” It looks like Charles Wiley and Qaadir Sheppard will take on the role as the go-to pass-rushers in the defense, backed up by Kevontae Ruggs and four-star transfer Sam Williams. ILB: Mohamed Sanogo, Willie Hibbler, Jacquez Jones, Donta Evans, Josh Clarke Grade: BAgain, this squad returns their starters, but that doesn’t mean much considering what happened last season.

Ole Miss wins fourth straight Peach Bowl Challenge tourney JOSHUA CLAYTON

THEDMSPORTS@GMAIL.COM

Ole Miss head football coach Matt Luke and former Rebel Wesley Walls won Ole Miss’s fourth straight Peach Bowl Challenge golf tournament at Reynolds Lake Oconee Resort. Luke and Walls went up against 11 other teams of coaches and former players from other schools like Auburn, Georgia Tech and Florida. The pair shot 13-under par to edge out Kirby Smart and David Dukes from Georgia. Luke and Walls raked in $100,000 in winnings to be split between an endowed scholarship and the Ole Miss Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter, according to Ole Miss Athletics. “I think coming down the stretch last year, we had a little cushion. We got behind this back nine. I think Georgia was up there so there was a little bit more pressure coming in having to hit a good shot,” Luke said after the win. “It’s been a day of good friends and good times.” The Ole Miss team had nine birdies and two eagles, and Luke won the long drive competition in the coach division with a 275-yard bomb. The win gives Ole Miss the tie for most tournament wins with Georgia, who also have four. Ole Miss is the first team to win four consecutive Peach Bowl challenges. Luke and Walls won $110,000 in 2018. “Matt can putt, I can tell you that. He made a lot of crucial and critical putts,” Walls said. Wesley Walls played tight end, defensive end and linebacker at Ole Miss after graduating from Pontotoc High School. Walls played 14 seasons in the NFL, went to five Pro Bowls and won Super Bowl XXIV with the San Francisco 49ers. The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge, now in its 12th year, gives coaches and celebrities the opportunity to compete for a share of a $650,000 scholarships for their schools.

Rebels prepare for rematch vs. OSU in NCAA Regionals JOSHUA CLAYTON

THEDMSPORTS@GMAIL.COM

The Ole Miss men’s tennis team will travel to Los Angeles for a matchup against Oklahoma State in the first round of the NCAA Regionals. The Rebels are a No. 3 seed in the regional including WAC Champions Grand Canyon, Oklahoma State and No. 11 UCLA. This will be Ole Miss’s 26th straight postseason bid and fourth consecutive trip to the west coast for the tournament. “We are excited to play in the NCAA Tournament again, and I think the team is excited about it. We’re definitely ready to go,” head coach Toby Hansson said. The Rebels are 16-13 on the season with four top-25 wins, one of which was against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Ole Miss topped the Cowboys 4-3 in early February to earn their third win of the season. In that match, the duos of Tim Sandkaulen and Filip Kraljevic as well as Cotter Wilson and Fabian Fallert won their double matches to take the early lead in the match. Sandkaulen then came back to

win his singles match in two sets. Karlo Kranic and Fallert also won their singles matches to edge the Cowboys. The Rebels will fend off OSU’s push for revenge on Friday at 1 p.m. CDT. “It’s a new match with Oklahoma State. We’re familiar with them, but it’s a neutral site and we’ll be outside so things will be different,” Hansson said. “It’s an important match, so we have to do the important things and get the big points, and that will take us a long way.” Should the Rebels accomplish the season sweep of Oklahoma State, they’ll go on to face either the host, No. 11 UCLA, or Grand Canyon. The UCLA Bruins are 17-5 overall this season with a spotless 8-0 conference record. The Bruins were on a dominant 10-game win streak before a 4-1 loss to California in the Pac-12 Championship tournament last week. UCLA also beat their first round opponent Grand Canyon 4-2 earlier this semester. Grand Canyon is 19-6 with a 5-0 conference mark.

The German ace also received a bid to the individual championships for the second consecutive time. Sandkaulen was also named to the All-SEC Second Team. He’ll compete in the competition starting May 20 in Orlando, Florida, with an at-large bid.

“I’m so proud of Tim and what he continually brings to the court for us,” Hansson said. He has been the anchor of our lineup all season and deserves to be recognized.” Last time out, the Rebels fell to Alabama 4-3 in the second round of the SEC Tournament in Gainesville. Fallert and Finn Reynolds won their doubles match and the duo of Junk and

Wilson did the same to clinch the double point. Fallert and Junk won their singles matches, but Sandkaulen, Reynolds and Wilson couldn’t pull out victories to get the win and advance to the next round. The NCAA Championship will begin on Friday and conclude with the championship in Orlando later this month.
