Robinson excited about Easter Sunday service

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the first in a two-part series with Fish Robinson and Community Church of Oxford.

BY JOHN DAVIS OXFORD CITIZEN

The wordVictorious can’t be missed on the front of the event card for Community Church of Oxford’s Easter service. Apart from the rainbow colors that make up the letters, the word signifies what Easter means to believers, and to Fish Robinson,

the lead pastor of the church.

Since 2013, Robinson has been gaining followers, and believers, each Sunday.

Some of the largest services in town are held inside the Oxford Activity Center, and with Robinson speaking the word of God. Community Church is more than just about being comfortable. It’s about coming to know Jesus as you are, or as the person you are every day of the week.

“I want the person that is changing my oil to be comfortable walking into our

place,” Robinson said. “And it’s not just all about comfort as much as come as you are. Be yourself. There are a lot of seeker friendly churches out there that preach what you want them to preach. It’s a lot of ‘Make me feel good’ and the Bible is confrontational. This Sunday, Easter, when you think about Easter, if Jesus doesn’t come back from the dead, Christianity is useless. It’s no different than any other religion.”

Food and forum on cultural sustainability to be held at the Powerhouse

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

Sustainable Oxford in conjunction with the Powerhouse is hosting the latest installment of the monthly Spring Potluck and Speaker Series on Tuesday.

The way the series works is that every potluck has a theme. Everyone in attendance brings a dish that goes along with that theme.

After having their meal and socializing, a special guest or guests take the floor to discuss issues that tie back to issues of sustainability and to the theme of the dinner.

The latest installment of this food and forum series will be focusing on cultural sustainability. The food theme is cultural dishes.

There will be multiple

speakers operating in a panel format for this discussion.

Guests include Melanie Addington, Executive Director of the Oxford Film Festival, Bethany Cooper, Vice President of Thacker Mountain Radio, Wayne Andrews, Director of the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council, and others.

Oxford is expanding. The city’s population has been on the uptick for several years now, and each year the University of Mississippi’s enrollment rate breaks records set only the year before. One of the main topics being examined at this potluck is the practicality and methodology of sustaining Oxford’s cultural identity throughout this period of growth.

What will Oxford look like when it emerges from the

other side of this steady population increase? Will we recognize it?

Getting the public thinking about sustainability and our impact on the planet and our community is the primary purpose of Sustainable Oxford and the potluck forums they organize. The guest speakers will be covering a variety of topics about the cultural identity of Oxford and what we, as Oxonians, can do to protect that identity. Some of the questions being looked at include, How does the development and expansion of a literal space, like the town of Oxford, affect the development of the community and culture within that space?

What are the cultural traditions of Oxford? What things make us Oxford and

what can we do to protect those things?

Shannon Curtis is an AmeriCorps Vista and is in charge of Sustainable Oxford. She will be introducing the guests and kicking off the panel discussion.

“Cultural sustainability basically thinks about the ways in which things like heritage, public art, shared spaces, social capitol and public policy build the identity of a community,” Curtis said. “I think that’s worth talking about, worth discussing, because culture and the arts are worth talking about and won’t always be here if we don’t protect them and encourage them and help to susDANIEL DOYLE, COURTESY OF SUSTAINABLE OXFORD tain them.”

Assistant to the Chancellor for Multicultural Affairs Dr. Donald R. Cole spoke at the transportation forum put on by Sustainable chaning.green@journalinc.com Oxford in January as a part of their monthly Spring Potluck and Speaker Series. This month’s theme is cultural sustainability.

Local students to compete in statewide geography competition

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

Which country in the Persian Gulf is an archipelago made up of more than 30 low-lying desert islands?

Oxford University School fourth-grader Captain Alexander and Oxford Intermediate School sixthgrader Kevin Park could both probably answer that question. It was taken from a list a of sample questions from the National Geographic Bee. The two Oxford boys have officially qualified as semifinalists for the National Geographic State Bee to be held in Pearl on April 1.

National Geographic’s version of the Spelling Bee began in 1989 and works in

very much the same way as the spelling competition.

Young competitors from across all 50 states, Washington D.C. and US Atlantic and Pacific territories are on stage and asked difficult questions about the world.

Where is this desert? What country claims this island?

This river is mostly in this country, but it has a bend that crosses into whose territory?

The kids take turns answering questions, one after the other. Just like in the Spelling Bee, one wrong answer gets the player eliminated.

The 54 winners of the state Bees win $100 and an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington D.C. to represent their state or territory

in the national finals. The top 10 finalists out of those students win $500. Competition continues until a final winner is declared.

The overall winner of the Bee receives a $50,000 scholarship, a lifetime membership to the National Geographic Society and a trip for two to the Galapagos Islands. Second and third place winners receive $25,000 and $10,000 scholarships, respectively.

Captain Alexander won the National Geographic Bee for Oxford University School. He then took an online test and scored high enough to qualify for the state competition. He first became interested in geography because of his travels. Among other things,

his father is a pilot. Flying around different countries in Europe stoked the 10year-old’s interest in learning about the world.

Kevin Park is the champion from Oxford Intermediate School. He’s beat out around 20 other kids for the title. He first became interested in the National Geographic Bee when he learned the winner of the state-level competition would receive a free trip to D.C., a place Park is extremely interested in visiting.

Alexander studied for the competition using an app on his phone that was created by National Geographic for that very purpose. He said that it was really the only source material he needed. The app would generate similar questions to those that would be asked at the competition and Alexander could answer them right on his phone whenever he had a few minuets to spare.

Park took a bit of a different route. He opened a Word document and listed every country in the world, their capitals, their mountain and river systems and other terrain. He created his own study guide and has studied it for two weeks.

Thought the slightest big nervous to be competing on a statewide scale, both

Eleanor Friedberger to perform at Proud Larry’s

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

Indie rocker Eleanor Friedberger is playing Proud Larry’s April 20.

This is not Friedberger’s first time in Oxford. She has played at least two shows in town and was also a guest of Thacker Mountain Radio during one of her many tours over the years.

Music has always been a part of Friedberger’s life.

She said that she comes from a musical family. She remembers growing up in a house that was almost always, in some capacity, filled with music. Her older brother Matthew was heavily involved in music from a young age. Friedberger said that she took piano lessons when she was younger, but pretty soon abandoned music for the most part, only coming back to it in her college years. Soon she and her brother formed a duo that performed under the name Fiery Furnaces. They put out nine albums together.

Friedberger has been touring quite a bit since her latest album was released in late January She said that though being on the road can get a exhausting at times, performing is one of her favorite things in the world.

“Playing music is one of the most fun things you can do,” Friedberger said.

“If you don’t play music, I guess it’s hard to understand exactly, but it’s a really wonderful way to spend time.”

This tour that stops in Oxford is promoting her third solo album, titled “New View,” which was released on Jan. 22. The record is her first since her 2013 release of “Personal Record.” It was recorded on tape in a barn-converted studio in GermanYork.

New town, Friedberger said that it took nearly a year for her finish writing the album and then about eight weeks for the recording and mixing.

The band backing Friedberger on this record is called Icewater, whom she has been touring with for about two years now. It was her first solo album to record with a band she had

Singer/songwriter Eleanor Friedberger slotted to perform at Proud Larry's on April 20 as part of her tour promoting her latest album "New View." spent a considerable amount of time performing with, rather than a studio band that she would met just shortly before recording. Their connection and familiarity with each other is likely one of the many things that makes this new album great.

Friedberger’s love of 70s singer-songwriters shines through every track on this record. The midrange allegro tempo on almost every song, the way the guitar and keys intermingle, the steady drum beat that rocks along, driving most of the tracks; they all scream laidback, 70s indie rock.

Friedberger’s borderline gender-neutral vocals croon lyrics that come across as deeply personal and often cryptic, their meaning vague and yet somehow specific at the same time. A listener can connect with almost every word while also knowing Friedberger is probably the only person who truly knows what she is singing about. There’s something emotional to be gleaned from the overall effect, but breaking down the lyrics

sentence by sentence would be impossible. This adds an unexpected dimension to the album that makes listening to it only once not an option.

The song “Never Is A Long Time” has a much more somber feel than its groovy, upbeat predecessor on the album titled “Because I Asked You.” The main instrument in “Never Is A Long Time” is an amplified acoustic guitar. The lyrics here are some of, if not the most beautiful on the album. She speaks of things that will never happen again. She’ll never roll with you in clover. She’ll never have your loving, and never is a long time.

The song ends with, “Now it’s snowing in November, hiding all of August’s crimes. All the things I’ll never remember, never is a long, long time.”

“New View” is an instant classic among indie rock albums. The feeling of live music in an intimate setting that the record provides promises that her show at Proud Larry’s is not one to be missed. chaning.green@jouranlinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

OLE MISS ATHLETICS A SPECIAL TO THE OXFORD CITIZEN

Last week, select members of the Ole Miss football program and support staff gave up their spring break for the third year in a row to serve others by doing mission work in Camp Marie, Haiti.

A 28-person group representing Ole Miss made the return trip to Camp Marie to help provide valuable irrigation to the crops of Haitian farmers. In previous trips, the Rebels helped dig a well to provide clean water for the same village.

Head coach Hugh Freeze emphasized the value this trip has not only for those he’s serving, but also the Ole Miss players and staff.

“That trip never disappoints in the realm of making you grateful and thankful for what we have here,” Freeze said. “It is a difficult trip for me the older I get, but it’s worth it to a lot of families and kids.”

The Rebels’ senior quarterback Chad Kelly was on the trip for the second straight year, bringing along teammates Talbot Buys, Armani Linton and Sean Rawlings.

“It was amazing,” Kelly said. “You have the opportunity to kind of take a step back and realize how thankful you really are to be here in the United States and have the opportunity to play at a great university.

A lot of those kids grow up in a certain situation and they can’t really get out of it.

For us, to be able to go over there and put smiles on kids’ faces, that’s what it’s

Easter FROM PAGE 1

Robinson said that the “coolest thing” that separates Christianity from every other religion is that “our God is not dead.”

“This is Sunday is representing the Sunday that they went to the tomb and he’s not there,” Robinson said. “And because of that, we are victorious in what Jesus has done for us.”

It may be strange to imagine, but a belief in Jesus Christ was not a part

Ole Miss partnered with the 410 Bridge organization, which has provided continued support for the Haitians that call Camp

Marie home. With the help of 410 Bridge and the Rebels, Camp Marie is now closer to being able to take higher steps and see economic growth as a village.

Senior executive associate athletics director

Stephen Ponder and his family joined the trip this year, and Ponder also spoke on the weight of the trip.

“I know that for my family and the others on the trip from Ole Miss, seeing

of Robinson’s life growing up. He was saved as a teenager and he was able to lead both his mother and father to Christ at the age of 13. The first time Robinson actually heard the gospel was at a New Year’s Eve party he was invited to by a friend.

“I heard if there was a heaven, there was a hell and there is this cat named Jesus that died for me and if I put my trust in me, I didn’t have to go to hell,” Robinson said. “I tell people all the time that I had the hell scared out of me.

Before that, my daddy used to call some of our friends CEOs which meant Christmas, Easter and Other special occasions.”

Christmas is a very dear holiday to Robinson. He said there had to be a humbling beginning, and a humbling end.

“To me, Christmas and Easter are equal. If you don’t have the birth of Christ and the life of Christ, then the resurrection of Christ means nothing,” Robinson said. “The Old Testament, those 39 books, mean something. They

point to the fact that he is coming, he is coming, he is coming. Christmas means he’s here. I think God knew from the beginning that this was the way he was going to save the world, however, he had to paint the story for us as his people that he was doing everything possible from creation to the time Adam and Eve blew it in the garden. He kept trying to show us that he loved us.”

What Easter Sunday means to Robinson, from a pastor standpoint now that he is a believer, is excite-

the need for basic things like water, food, shelter and clothing was overwhelming at times,” Ponder said.

“We can take things for granted so easily at home, so seeing this up close and personal made a lasting impact.”

Ponder, being the only senior administrator on the trip this year, reflected on the lasting impact trips like this can make on the young people.

“I think it is so important that our student-athletes learn so much more about life outside their sport,” Ponder added. “Seeing how fortunate we are every day, taking advantage of opportunities before us and keeping things in perspective are valuable teaching moments that our coaches can use to transform lives on our teams. Coach Freeze does a great job of utilizing football as a platform for a higher purpose to change lives.”

Along with several other members of the Ole Miss Athletics family and support staff, coaches Corey Batoon and Maurice Harris and their families joined the trip as well this year.

“We are well known in that village,” Freeze added.

“They love to see the Ole Miss group there and to see them get fresh water and the joy they have for getting it is pretty humbling. It always ends up impacting us more than it’s impacting them.”

Freeze added that his foundation, the Freeze Foundation, has committed continued assistance to Camp Marie’s irrigation growth in the future.

ment. He even asked his followers to forgive him last week on Palm Sunday because he wasn’t nearly as excited to preach that message as he is this week.

“And it was wrong on my part to say that something is more important than another week because Easter really is an every week experience,” Robinson said.

“We’re able to tell dead people, dead in sin, that they are now alive in Christ.”

UM Law students prepare tax returns for the community at no cost For me personally, almost every person I dealt with was a new learning experience. I’ve encountered very unique situations that I didn’t think I would encounter.”

Whitlock said she was expecting regular W2s and retirement incomes, but often got stock market investments and international students with unconventional visa and citizenship standings. Because of her training, the double check system in place and the support of her classmates, Whitlock was able to help them all. Very much like working a case in a law firm, she was able to use her colleagues as a resource in order to provide the best service possible to her clients. This is the entire point of the tax clinic.

Annual NFL Pro Day Monday at Ole Miss

M

onday will be the final time that Laquon Treadwell, Laremy Tunsil and Robert Nkemdiche will be inside the Manning Center. Well, maybe the better way to put it is Monday will be the final time that the players will be wearing Ole Miss athletic training equipment, helmets and such things. Hopefully the trio will return in the future to watch the Rebels of 2016, 2017 or 2020 train, but Monday will be the last time they run on the turf. And catch balls like they mean it. Or go through drills like they have something to prove.

What is Monday? Why is it so significant?

Well, Monday is the annual Pro Day at Ole Miss. It’s the time where NFL scouts and general managers and head coaches come to watch players so they can be evaluated, further. College football players are evaluated the moment they step on the field, especially in the SEC. Pro teams have three years of video to watch on Treadwell, Nkemdiche and Tunsil. They have sent scouts to games, and to campus to do interviews. All three competed in the NFL Combine this past February. The Daily Journal’s Parrish Alford covered that event from start to finish. Many may recall the Nkemdiche comments on Tunsil, about how he was in the infamous hotel room and around when the fall happened, the one that prevented Nkemdiche from playing in the Sugar Bowl.

Pro Day is different than the rest of the events. Different than the games. Don’t get me wrong, the games are important in regards to draft status, but Pro Day can really make, or break, a player. In the case of Tunsil, it should only enhance his stock, and spot, as the No. 1 overall pick. The Tennessee Titans and Tunsil seem destined for each other. ESPN’s Todd McShay, one of the many NFL Draft gurus out there, released his fourth mock draft Friday morning. He had Tunsil going to the Titans, No. 1 overall. Nkemdiche, for all his drama at the end of his career, is still slated as a firstround pick. He’s going to be later than Tunsil, somewhere in the middle, to late, part of the first round. He could go even lower. CBSSports.com most recently posted a mock draft that had Nkemdiche going to the Denver Broncos at No. 31 overall. On a personal level, TURN TO REBELS PAGE 13

Ole Miss senior Issac Gross is ready to lead the defensive line from his tackle spot.

Healthy Gross can anchor Ole Miss DL

ble teams and often disrupted timing for opposing offenses.

The Rebels also lose starting nose tackle Woodrow Hamilton.

The neck injury that ended what would have been Gross’ senior season occurred when a UT-Martin player hit him at just the right angle. The disc actually spiked his spinal cord.

BY PARRISH ALFORD DAILY JOURNAL

As Ole Miss moves on without All-American Robert Nkemdiche on its defensive line, it has an All-SEC player it can insert into the lineup.

If Issac Gross is healthy.

Gross ranks 10th among active SEC players with 271⁄2 career tackles for loss, a total he would have added to in 2015 had he not sat out almost the entire season.

A neck issue was aggravated in the season opening win against Tennessee-Martin, and weeks later Gross had disc fusion surgery on his neck.

Recovery has gone well. It’s possible Gross could gain medical clearance before the end of spring drills, but he’ll be held out of contact for the duration.

“We won’t try that,” Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said.

“We’ll get him all the way through summer and give him as much time as we can to get him totally healed.”

Under-sized at the nose tackle position, Gross, a high

Issac Gross, a former standout at South Panola, has looked good in spring drills so far this month. school All-American at South Panola, has played through a variety of injuries at Ole Miss.

He played the 2014 season with a bulging disc in his neck that became more trouble later in the season. He felt constant stiffness, so much that defensive line meetings with coach Chris Kiffin and players were a struggle.

“Coach Kiff would get on to me about going to sleep in meetings. I was like, ‘Coach, I ain’t going to sleep.’ It’s just that it would irritate me so

bad, and I would get so dizzy that I couldn’t hold my head up,” Gross recalled.

Injuries rarely kept Gross completely out of games during his first three seasons, but they did limit his snaps.

Still he had at least eight tackles for loss from 20122014. He was freshman AllSEC and freshman All-America in 2012.

Nkemdiche had as many as eight tackles for loss in only his freshman season, but he was a constant target of dou-

While Gross hasn’t been cleared for contact he’s been cleared for weight training for quite some time and has put on roughly 30 pounds to get up to 260.

He is dressing out for spring practice but not hitting. The first day of drills was the first day for him to wear a helmet since the UT-Martin game.

“It was amazing,” he said.

“Being out of this game and having something you love and are so passionate about taken away from you ... It’s just a blessing to be back out there.” parrish.alford@journalinc.com Twitter: @parrishalford

Steady performer Dillard has answered call for OHS Chargers

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

At the start of the month, right after the Oxford Chargers played their first contest in the Perfect Game Showcase in Georgia, Chris Baughman spoke to Thomas Dillard. Baughman wasn’t set chew out the senior catcher for any thing he did or didn’t do on the diamond. Far from it.

Baughman went to Dillard to give him some advice, some words of encouragement if you will, in regards to some things he was noticing while in the dugout.

“After that first game, I’m going to say he was putting more pressure on himself than he should have to get drafted or increase his draft status or increase his likeliness of playing at Ole Miss,” Baughman said. “We know he’s an MLB prospect and we know those types of kids have a choice. I felt like he was putting a lot pressure on himself early on to impress scouts. He had a bad night that first night in Atlanta, not a bad game, but he was upset after the game. I finally looked at him and said ‘Thomas, you’re a kid one time in your life, go be a kid. If you get drafted, you get drafted high. You know you have the opportunity to go to Ole Miss next year, just go play.’”

Ever since that first game, and that brief meeting between coach and player, Dillard has been more relaxed, and on an absolute offensive tear. He hit another towering home run against Lafayette in the second meeting with the Com-

JOHN DAVIS | OXFORD CITIZEN

Oxford catcher Thomas Dillard had six home runs and 16 RBIs Dillard has the green light to steal bases for the Chargers. He heading into this weekend. was safe in his first nine attempts this season. modores on March 17. He followed that up with two more home runs against Cabot (Ark.) and then he hit one against New Hope. In between the smash jobs, Dillard has collected singles or doubles and stolen bases when he doesn’t clear all the bases in one trip.

“I think he’s seeing the ball real well, swinging it well.

That’s what we asked him to do, looked for him to do, when the season began,” Baughman said of Dillard, who was hitting .383 with six home runs and 16 RBIs heading into the weekend.

“We expected him to give us some stability right there in that No. 3 hole, give us some pop but also be someone who is a little more versatile than just giving us pop. He

can run and he can hit for average.”

Dillard is a five tool player. He can do everything, both on offense and defense. He has very good speed, and instincts on the base paths. His nine stolen bases in nine attempts proves that.

“I give he and Grae (Kessinger) and Drew (Bianco) green lights on the base paths to steal. He runs well for sure,” Baughman said. “I know he is doing everything we anticipated him doing. That goes for him behind the plate and that role has magnified some now with Ben (Bianco) being out.”

Before the season started, Dillard was set to split time behind the plate with Ben

Bianco, who went down with a torn labrum against Lafayette March 17. The bad news for the Chargers is that Dillard can’t play in the outfield or pitch to showcase his fantastic arm.

“We lose an arm a little bit in relief but now that division play has hit, we back off from the number of games in a single week. The tournaments are over and we’re not playing four games in two days,” Baughman said. “We don’t need as many of the relief guys to help. And I feel like I’ve got two of those JV kids for sure ready to fill a void if Jason (Barber), Houston (Roth), Carson (Stinnett), Grae (Kessinger), Reid (Markle), any of those five go down.”

The good news for the Ox-

ford pitchers with Dillard being behind the plate is if a player does reach first base, they better think long and hard about trying to steal.

He has already thrown out two trying to second or third base. Baughman added that Ben Bianco was very good at controlling the game, but that Dillard does everything a catcher needs to do behind the plate.

“His arm shuts down the running game. He’s quick back there. He’s a little quicker than Ben, and both are so good at doing exactly what you need a catcher to do,” Baughman said. “If Thomas had gone down, we would have felt comfortable with Ben just being back there.”

Roth was used to Bianco

being behind the plate during his starts, but that doesn’t mean he’s not comfortable with Dillard.

“I’ve pitched to Thomas before, so it’s not really that big of a deal just because I’ve seen them both,” Roth said. “Thomas is great. I love throwing to him. I love throwing to Ben. So either way, I’m comfortable with my catcher.”

It took Dillard a little time to come in and learn the Oxford system. He came to the Chargers after playing in Tennessee through his junior season. Once he learned what Baughman expected out of him, including how he wants the players to practice, Dillard was off and running.

“I don’t think there is anybody that out works him, especially on his own,” Baughman said. “In the dugout, he’s a role model for our young kids. He talks baseball with them. I know what he’s done for Clay Ivy this year, he’s already made him a much better baseball player than what he was to begin with. Same thing with Jake Burkes. So our two younger catchers are trying to learn from him, and they’re doing a good job with it. He comes in and our kids do a great job of talking about what they’re seeing in their at bat with each other.

It never fails. Grae comes in the top of the first inning, and he’s telling everyone of our kids what he’s seeing, and Thomas does the exact same thing, so he has definitely developed into a leader on our team for sure.” john.davis@journalinc.com Twitter: @oxfordcitizenjd

Rebels-Razorbacks battle in Easter tennis matchup

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

There is no Easter break for the Ole Miss men’s tennis team. The Rebels are back on the road for the third straight match today against No. 21 Arkansas.

Ole Miss (7-6 overall, 2-4 in the SEC) is coming off a 6-1 loss to Florida and a 4-3 loss to Auburn. Sophomore

Gustav Hansson earned two ranked wins to lead the Rebels last weekend, including a three-setter against now No. 29 ranked Elliott Orkin of Florida.

Arkansas will provide no real relief for the No. 28 Rebels. The Razorbacks improved to 15-4 overall with a 4-3 win at Texas on Wednesday. They split their SEC matches last weekend,

falling to Florida and then sweeping Auburn on Sunday. Arkansas is led by 30th-ranked Mike Redlicki, who owns an 11-3 record, 5-1 in the SEC. Redlicki teams with Giammarco Micolani for a No. 16 ranking in doubles.

“This is a much improved Arkansas team compared to previous years and that makes this

match even more exciting for us,” Ole Miss coach Toby Hansson said. “We have had a good week of preparation here in Oxford and I know that all the guys are ready to go.”

Ole Miss downed Arkansas 4-1 last year in Oxford for their 28th straight win in the series.

The Rebels won the doubles point and got two huge

three-setters from Hansson and Stefan Lindmark, before Zvonimir Babic closed it out in straight sets at No. 5 singles. In the latest individual rankings, Lindmark is ranked No. 87 and Hansson made his debut in the singles rankings at No. 104 after two ranked wins last weekend. Filip Kraljevic and Babic are ranked No. 41 in doubles.

Sanford delivers win over Alabama for Rebels

Rebels

FROM OXFORD CITIZEN REPORTS

In just her second dual match in singles, freshman Allie Sanford delivered for the Ole Miss women’s tennis team a muchneeded 5-2 win at Alabama Thursday night.

The match was started outdoors, but that didn’t last long as rain came again, forcing the conclusion of doubles and all of singles indoors.

With the Rebels leading 3-2 and senior Mai El Kamash trying to get to a third set at No. 3 singles, Sanford closed out Bama’s Bennett Dunn 6-3, 6-3 at No. 6 singles.

Sanford led 6-3, 5-3 and avoided having to serve it out by breaking Dunn’s serve to end the Rebels four-match losing streak in SEC play.

The Rebels earned wins on courts one and two in doubles to claim the early 1-0 lead. Freshman Tea Jandric made quick work of the Crimson Tide’s Joanna Nena Savva 6-1, 6-0 on court four to give the Rebels a 2-0 lead.

After Alabama tied it up with wins on courts two and five, 37thranked Arianne Hartono finished

off a straight set win (6-3, 6-4) against 44th-ranked Erin Routliffe at No. 1 singles to put Ole Miss up 3-2.

“It’s always good to get a road win in the SEC. This was a hardfought battle against a solid Alabama team,” Ole Miss coach Mark Beyers said. “We were able to capture the doubles point and then take three first sets in singles.

It was nice to get a quick point on the board from Tea, and then a great job of closing out matches

by Ari and Allie Sanford. Mai did an excellent job of extending her match and eventually turning the momentum and getting the W in a super breaker.”

AROUND THE NET • The Rebels are now 9-5 overall and 2-5 in the SEC. They are at No. 15 Auburn today • The Rebels snapped a fivematch losing streak to Alabama and picked up their first win in Tuscaloosa since 2010.?

• The Rebels are a combined 2211 at the top of the lineup.

• Hartono improved to 16-8 overall and 9-2 at No. 1 singles.

She is now 3-2 in the SEC.

playing for the organization that just won the Super Bowl would be great. From an overall money standpoint, it would be a hit.

Treadwell is also expected to be taken in the first round, but later rather than sooner. Of the three, Treadwell has been the Rebel with the fewest hiccups. Outside of his injury as a sophomore, Treadwell has been on the field and going full speed. He was never suspended. He was never arrested. The only thing he did since arriving in Oxford was be a good teammate and representative for Ole Miss. If integrity mattered as much as playing ability, Treadwell would be drafted No. 1 overall.

Unfortunately, he plays a position that isn’t nearly as coveted as left tackle or defensive tackle. Or quarterback.

Mock drafts have the 6-foot-2 wideout, who leaves Ole Miss with the most catches in school history,

going between No. 2026. The highest pick I’ve seen Treadwell is No. 19 to the Buffalo Bills.

Three players going in the first round is a great thing for any school. At Ole Miss, is the kind of thing Hugh Freeze can use for years to come on the recruiting trail. It’s history making for sure.

As unpredictable as the draft can be, all three Rebels should be gone when the first round ends. There will be a lot more to read about the trio in the coming days.

There will be a lot more to read about some other key Rebels who have dreams of playing in the NFL. Monday is a big opportunity for players like Mike Hilton and Trae Elston to impress beyond what they already have.

Players usually run well on familiar turf and in a familiar setting. If the players have been doing their part, working out since they left school, then Monday should be a positive for several. The 2016 NFL Draft should be a memorable one for Ole Miss fans, beyond

As neat as it was to see Eli Manning taken No. 1 overall 12 years ago, there wasn’t anything else to go along with it.

That’s not the case this spring. There may not be a Grove Bowl this year,

and the actual football season may still be several months away, but Ole Miss is still in the national spotlight because of the draft. And what news Monday brings us.
