Sheriff East recognized for five decades of service

BY JOHN DAVIS OXFORD CITIZEN

A surprise appreciation ceremony is not what Lafayette County Sheriff Buddy East expected to attend Friday morning.

When he was told by Scott Mills, the chief deputy of the department, Thursday night there would be some other sheriffs

in town, East thought everyone might eat lunch at Handy Andy.

Instead of barbecue plates and hot turkey sandwiches, East was treated to fried catfish and a ceremony perfectly suited for a man who has been in law enforcement since LBJ was president.

“I don't know what I'm feeling. It's so great. I sure don't deserve it,” East said

among hugs and handshakes from the hundreds who attended the event held at the Oxford Conference Center. “There are a lot of people here and that makes you feel proud. So many people showed up and said a lot of good things. We like to hear them, whether they're true or not.

UM Library recognizes Banned Book Week

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITTER

This week, the J.D. Williams Library at the University of Mississippi has been working to bring recognition to the not-so-commonly discussed problem of banned books in American schools and libraries.

Banned Book Week is celebrated every year in order to bring attention the fact that people try to get rid of books that express views contrary to their own, or contain something that a person might find distasteful.

This is the eighth year that the J.D. Williams has recognized and actively promoted Banned Book Week. They’ve been celebrating it in a variety of different ways including public readings of the banned book “To Kill a Mockingbird.” In previous years the district has also compiled lists of banned books, categorized based on what grounds they were challenged. These lists

would be printed up as bookmarks and then placed into every book that that was checked out of the library during Banned Book Week.

Melissa Dennis has been with the J.D. Williams since the library started observing the week. She said that Banned Book Week is an important time for the library to teach students and members of the community about the dangers of limiting access to information.

“I think it’s important, especially for students, to understand that they have rights that they should always work to protect both for themselves and for the futures of others,” Dennis said. “When one person’s opinion becomes strong enough that they can restrict access to free and accessible information to any other person, that becomes a little scary for our democracy.”

Melissa Dennis gives a lecture in room 106E of the J.D.Williams Library Wednesday afternoon to teach students about the prevalence of people challenging another’s right to read. The lecture was a part of the library’s recognition of Banned Book Week. that hundreds of books are challenged and removed from library shelves around the country because a small number of people may take issue with what is

printed within. Some of the most frequently challenge books from 2015 include “Fifty Shades of Grey,” “I am Jazz,” the Bible and, at number on the list, “Look-

ing for Alaska,” by John Green.

From 2000 to 2009, the ALA recorded 4,837 challenges to remove books across five different cate-

gories. Sexually explicit content, offensive language and “unsuited for age group” are the top three grounds on which books are regularly challenged.

Freshman Miracle Carter attended Dennis’ lecture on banned books in the library that was held Wednesday. She chose to come as a part of an assignment for her freshman experience class. Carter said that she was surprised that people would try to keep people from reading other books simply because they did not like it or agree with its viewpoint. She was also taken aback at how often books are challenged.

“I thought it was really interesting,” she said. “I chose this lecture because I had never really heard of or knew about banned books.

I learned a lot and I was surprised by a lot of the books that have been banned.” chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

OSD considering opt-in program for students, citizens express concern

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

The Oxford School District is currently considering a new solution to their noticeable achievement gap. The controversial method reportedly involves separating students based on socioeconomic status.

The program, which is just one of several that the district is considering, to accomplish this would establish a separate curriculum that would provide more intensive schooling for certain students within the district. These students would be separated from their peers in order to receive more individualized attention.

Oxford High School student newspaper The Charger broke the story Thursday that this new plan would directly target students who qualify for free or reduced lunch.

“It is geared towards those who are in the low economic groups,” Harvey reportedly told The Charger. “There is a correlation between achievement and poverty.”

The model comes from An Achievable Dream Middle and High School in Newport, Virginia.

“Where this all started was when I went to a conference in Jackson,” Harvey told the Citizen.

“The ULLC (Urban Learning and Leadership Center) who is the company that grew out of the Achievable Dream Academy, made a presentation. They mentioned and used the Achievable Dream Academy in that presentation. When I saw that and the success that they had with the students who were on free and reduced lunch and the percentages of who went to college, it was really outstanding.”

Harvey said he then asked himself that if any part of the program they were implementing could be used in the Oxford School District to help low-income students struggling in their classes.

At this time there absolutely no

Parents and members of the Oxford community showed up to Oxford Middle School Thursday evening to display solidarity and express concern after Superintendent Brian Harvey told The Charger student newspaper that the district was considering an opt-in program for low-income students that would place them in another curriculum. plans on making any changes to the school district based on this information. Harvey emphasized this is just a conversation amongst administration as to what can be done to close the achievement gap and that public input would be heavily considered before any sort of decision was made. District officials including Harvey and two members of the Oxford School Board have made plans to visit Newport and speak with officials there to learn more about the school and the way they operate.

Harvey has discussed the achievement gap in the district during school board meetings many times over the past several months. Each time he addressed the board about it, he said that he was actively seeking out and examining different options to address the issue.

Shaquita Curry is a parent with five children in the district. She posted on Facebook Thursday for concerned members of the community to come to Oxford Middle School to share their concerns with peers and speak with reporters from Fox13 news station out of Memphis.The post received 111 shares and over 100 parents

showed up to stand in front OMS. Curry stood in front of the crowd and thanked them for coming. She said that she understood everyone gathered there was angry and scared and unsure of what was going to happen next, but she asked that everyone remain civil. Curry did not know about discussions of separating the students until she read about in the student newspaper, which was shared with her on social media. She said she wanted to gather everyone together to show that there are parents and community members who are concerned with and care about how the school district is operated.

“I’ve had several parents come up to me and ask about why we always only find out about things at the end of them, why are we the last to know,” Curry said after she addressed the crowd. “We’re just trying to come together and find a way for the parents to know what’s going on. Parents have been kept uninformed about a number of things, and it’s gotten to where we can’t take it anymore. We have come together to voice our opinions.”

Shaquita Curry addresses the crowd gathered at Oxford Middle School Thursday night where she encouraged them to make an effort to become more involved in the school district by attending meetings and regularly communicating with administration. speech, she encouraged those gathered to attend school board meetings, be in communication with district officials and talk to their children. She said she wanted everyone to leave the gathering with an understanding that they have a voice and that school board meetings are open to the public.

Susie Brown was also at the gathering. Brown serves as the principal of Holly Springs Intermediate School and worked as a teacher in the OSD for seven years.

She said that during her time with the district, there was talk of splitting the district based of neighborhoods, determining where students went to school based on where they lived in the city. She said that this idea of separating students because of where they live and ultimately the amount of money their parents make is nothing new and is a toxic way to think about children in the community.

“Obviously that thought has blossomed into what we have today,” Brown said, referencing the old idea for neighborhood schools. “It’s still the same type of thinking. Because of the new testing accountability, the achieve-

ment gap weighs a lot. The school districts are held accountable.

They decided that they could get around that by separating the schools by neighborhood or by income, because we know that most of the minority students are going to fall in that income range and that minority scores are what’s pulling the district down. They need to be realistic about it. It’s very racist.”

The idea of separating students based on socioeconomic status at this time remains just an idea. It is not currently under serious consideration by the district. “[The ULLC] came down and made a public presentation to the board,” Harvey said. “During the meeting, we had lots of community members there. That’s really all that’s been done. This Monday night, we approved for two board members to visit the Achievable Dream Academy and actually view it and see it. To say that we’re considering it, is not completely false, but it’s not completely true either.We’re a long way from doing anything, years away.” chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

Center of Southern Culture hosting brown bag on Wilmington Ten

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

Next Wednesday, the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi will be hosing a special brown bag lecture on the Wilmington Ten. The lecture is entitled “The Wilmington Ten: Violence, Injustice, and the Rise of Black Politics in the 1970’s,” and shares its name with a recently pub-

lished book written by Kenneth Janken. Janken serves as the director of the Center for the Study of the American South at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Assistant Director for Projects for the Center for the Study of Southern Culture Becca Walton said that she is greatly looking forward to the lecture. Though she studies the complicated history of race relations in the South, Walton

said that she is always looking to learn more about what came after the Civil Rights Movement and what Southerners did with the new world they suddenly found themselves living in.

“I study the Civil Rights Movement and a lot of historians stop with the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 or the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,” Walton said. “Exploring the Black Power Movement that came

afterwards is really important. I feel like there’s a lot of work to be done on it, and I don’t know a great deal about that. I think it’s really exciting to have a scholar here talking about it.”

The Wilmington Ten is the title used to refer to 10 people, mostly young adults, who in 1971 were convicted of arson in Wilmington, North Carolina. The group spent nearly 10 years in jail and

garnered international attention. Amnesty International took the students’ case in 1976 and had the ruling overturned in 1980 on the grounds that, among other thing, the prosecutor and judge violated the defendants’ rights to due process.

The lecture is free and open to the public. It will be held on Wednesday from noon to 1 p.m. in the Tupelo Room of the Barnard Observatory. Guests are en-

BEAGLE BAGLE

A stolen vehicle that was involved in a chase with the Oxford Police Department turned out to be driven by the husband of a woman who was eluding officers in the early morning hours Wednesday.

Kathleen Anderson, 18 of Oxford, was charged with false reporting of a crime Friday by the OPD. She told police that her vehicle was stolen. It turned out that her husband, John Anderson, 28, was the one who took the car and then led several officers around town.

John Anderson was booked and charged with felony fleeing in a motor vehicle Thursday. He failed to stop for an officer which led to the pursuit.

During the chase, officers received a call from Kath-

leen Anderson saying her sport utility vehicle had been taken.

John AnK. Anderson derson wrecked the vehicle in the Shiloh subdivision off Old Taylor Road. He J. Anderson was taken into custody after a b r i e f search on foot. Kathleen Anderson later adJ. Adams mitted to an OPD investigator that she had contact with her husband during the pursuit and he told her to call

the police and report the vehicle as stolen. John Anderson’s bond was set at $10,000, while Kathleen's bond was set at $5,000.

In another felony related case, the OPD arrested James Adams II, 24 of Oxford, on Wednesday for domestic violence-aggravated assault. The OPD received a call to Taylor Bend Apartments for a male who had been stabbed with a knife multiple times. The injuries were not life threatening.

The victim and suspect were at the main office at Taylor Bend when officers arrived. The victim was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi for three stab wounds and Adams was placed into custody.

Adams was given a bond of $5,000. john.davis@journalinc.com Twitter: @oxfodcitizenjd

Ford Center to host concert to benefit Boys and Girls Club

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

Today, the Gertrude C. Ford Center is working in conjunction with the Oxford Boys and Club to hold a fundraiser featuring gospel artists Michael English and Trae Edwards.

The fundraiser was the idea of board member for the Boys and Girls Club, Margaret King. She and her twin sister Kat have long been fans of the two performers.

English is a native of North Carolina and has won several Dove Awards, a prestigious recognition available to gospel singers, including Artist of the Year. The singer rose to fame in 1991 when he signed his first solo contact with Warner Alliance and won Dove Awards in the categories of Male Vocalist and New Artist the following year.

Edwards, the other performer, is a country gospel artist. The pair have performed numerous concerts together in the past. King and her twin sister have seen the two perform together and said that the duo com-

pliment each other very well.

"Trae just has a great voice and one of the most beautiful renditions of ‘The Old Rugged Cross’ that I’ve ever heard,” said King. “Michael also has just a moving testimonial about his own personal struggles he dealt with during his career. They’re both so great. They’ll be singing both contemporary and traditional gospel music at the concert.”

The King twins are friends with Edwards and one day he mentioned that he would love to perform with English in Oxford and Margaret said that she could probably make that happen. She decided to approach the event and as a fundraising opportunity for the Boys and Girls Club, which she has been involved with on and off for over a decade.

The Ford Center is donating the space for the concert and is partnering with the Division of Outreach at the university to pay for the cost of electricity and other expenses that come with putting on a show in a space as large as the Ford Center’s

stage. The Inn at Ole Miss is also housing the artists during their stay.

Because of this, the $25 that each ticket costs can go directly to benefit the Boys and Girls Club.

King went on to discuss how important she felt the work of the Boys and Girls Club is for the community.

She said that the program really impacts the children that it serves and quite a bit of money is required to keep the community resource up and running.

“The amount of money that it costs to just walk in that door and turn the lights on is just a tremendous amount each month,” King said. “We’re always fundraising and trying to find new ways to bring in money. They have an average of 160 kids in there every day. That’s a lot.”

Tickets for the event are available at the Ole Miss Box Office and can be purchased online at www.olemissboxoffice.com and over the phone at 662-915-7411. chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

East FROM 1

I've worked hard, but I've always had good people around me and they took care of me as much as I have of them. It goes both ways.

One man can't do it all.”

East has been serving the county in his current position since winning his first election in 1972. Eight different presidents, and nine governors, have served in office since East was first on the ballot. The Mississippi Sheriffs Association was the group behind Friday's appreciation ceremony. East is the longest tenured sheriff in the state, and he is on the verge of being the longest tenured sheriff in the country. That's something Mills is checking on with the national organization to see if they can research that type of information.

Mills was able to keep the ceremony quiet for about a month and a half. He finally had to tell East something was planned because East is not big on fanfare, especially when he is at the center of it.

“He doesn't like surprises so we told that we were going to have a program over here with the sheriff's association and he was still kind of suspicious. I told him that he was going to have to be quiet

and that he was going to have to go and enjoy it,” Mills said. “This was definitely a special event.

(Tunica County) Sheriff (K.C.) Hamp was the driving force behind this for the association. It's just wonderful. They called and wanted to honor him and we were of course ecstatic about it.

It's just a great honor for him.”

East's career was shown in a slide show during the event. He started out with the Oxford Police Department in 1964 and worked his way up to assistant chief before he left and started to work for the sheriff's department. Mills, and the entire department, showed up in full dress uniform for the event. All of the deputies lined the hallway as East entered the ballroom and then remained in the back, shoulder to shoulder, during the hour-long ceremony.

“We love Sheriff East. He is a God fearing man and he tries to instill that into all of his deputies.

That's the best complement I can pay him,” Mills said. “He's a Christian man. He's not out preaching on the corner, but he is the kindest hearted person you will ever meet.”

East admitted that when Mills told him that he had to attend the event, there was something more to behold once he got inside.

“I didn't know it was something like this though,” said East,

There were a number of dignitaries who showed up to honor East. From the board of supervisors to mayor Pat Patterson all the way up to U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, the room was filled with people who had a relationship with East. Mississippi Attorney

General Jim Hood, Jay Hughes, who serves in the Mississippi House of Representatives, and Gray Tollison, who represents the area in the Mississippi Senate, were also guest speakers. Every one of them had an award or proclamation to give East, who sat at the front table surrounded by his wife Mary, and his family, including Oxford Police Chief Joey East. There were several rounds of applause for East who was also presented a folded

American flag by the Tunica County Junior Air Force ROTC. Pastor Buster Wilson of New Prospect Baptist Church, where East attends, also had some remarks for the crowd.

“Sheriff East, we all love you.

It's a privilege to be here to give you the honor we deserve,” said Wilson, who has also been in law enforcement since 1979. “We're here to honor a man who well deserves to be honored. He has achieved what many in a career path could only dream about and that's all these many years serving so successfully.”

East was praised for his easy going, calm approach to getting things done. He was also praised

by Hood specifically for the way he dealt with the defendants in court.

“He didn't talk down to them, he talked them like we would want to be treated,” Hood said.

“He was affective as a law enforcement officer because he treated people like they wanted to be treated. He has continued to be sheriff and honored because of his integrity. That sets an example for the whole county.

There are sheriffs in our counties that didn't stand against the wind.” john.davis@journalinc.com Twitter: @oxfordcitizenjd

Nutt still keeps up with Rebels, college football overall

W

ild was the word Houston Nutt used to describe the first month of the 2016 college football season.

Instead of some of the traditional powers being at the top of the rankings, the former Ole Miss head football coach, who now works as an analyst for CBS Sports, was talking much more about Louisville and quarterback Lamar Jackson than he anticipated.

“This guy has just come on the scene and he is tearing it up,” Nutt said not long after finishing up his mid-week appearance on TV in New York. “I'm anxious to see what happens between them and Clemson. That's a team we've been talking about and they haven't been up to par. I'm anxious to see if they're getting better, they may be. I know they have the talent. DeShaun Watson, Wayne Gallman and then they have Mike Williams back. You think that's the team that's going to score 60 points per game, but everything has been kind of different.”

If there was any water left in the Oxford cooler with just over a minute left in Friday night’s game with Saltillo, it collected in the gray shirt of head coach Chris Cutcliffe seconds later. Small chunks of ice littered the OHS sideline as the final few moments clicked off the clock at Bobby Holcomb Field.

There was a lot to celebrate, or at least feel good about, following a 42-0 win over

Saltillo. Not only was it the most complete effort of the season for the Chargers, it was the first win at home under Cutcliffe, who earned his first career win on the road at Southaven and then won at Madison Central two weeks later in August.

The Chargers (3-3 overall) were also able to jump into the positive column in Division 1-5A play with the win. And after two straight losses, it was time to feel good, and reward Cutcliffe with two ice baths in the process.

Oxford dominated Saltillo (1-6, 0-2) on

both sides of the ball, Cutcliffe felt, and that was especially true on defense as the Chargers held the Tigers to just 45 yards.

Saltillo punted after four of its five possessions in the first quarter. The other resulted in a turnover that DQ Thomas turned into the second touchdown of the night for the Chargers. By the time the first 12 minutes had elapsed, the Chargers were firmly in control at 21-0.

“We really challenged them to put toTURN TO CHARGERS, 18

Thomas sparks Oxford with his emotional play

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

It wasn't too long after the fourth quarter started that Oxford's DQ Thomas was on the sidelines, watching his younger teammates preserve a shutout for the Chargers. Thomas had already put in a full night's work by that point, and it was time to sit back and let someone else rough up the Tigers from Saltillo.

Thomas scored the second touchdown of the game on an option pitch that he snagged in the middle of the air and took it 41 yards into the end zone. He was also the leader of an effort on defense that limited Saltillo to just 45 total yards.

The senior, who added five tackles to his stat list, was placed all over the place in Friday's 42-0 win. He was up on the line of scrimmage during some snaps, at linebacker on others and even in the middle of the field at safety on a few more. It seemed like

Thomas had a clone out on the field.

“DQ is the leader, and not only of the defense, but a lot of times of the football team,” Oxford defensive coordinator Matt McCrory said. “It's important for him to play with intensity and emotion and he is starting to embrace that role and be a leader for us. DQ is huge and when we can get him going, it's really easy to get everybody else going. Emotionally, it gets us up as a team.

He's a super hard working kid and he's bought in from the beginning. He's a coach's dream.”

There was nothing but a big smile on the face of Thomas minutes after the game. He was proud of his teammates, and glad he was one who stepped up to get the Chargers off and running.

“I've been playing for three years, and it was time for me to step up and do that,” Thomas said. “We've been talking about defense scoring because it's hard for the offense to score some-

times. It woke everybody up.”

Thomas said playing a team like Saltillo meant staying on point with assignments, and not letting the Tigers click off 4 yards each play.

“Eventually that's a first down and a touchdown, so we knew that we had to stop their assignments and execute. We practiced this week like we were playing West Point,” Thomas said. “I think this will get us going. We have to start somewhere. We knew we had to get out and get a win. It's our first win at home, too.”

The effort that Thomas sparked from the defense was pleasing to Oxford head coach Chris Cutcliffe.

“I thought he was just phenomenal. The big play on the touchdown was big, and he just made plays over and over again.

He was lights out, very proud of the way he played,” Cutcliffe said.

Turnage turns momentum into a positive for LHS

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

When the Lafayette Commodores needed a spark, a big play, to get going against Ripley Friday night, sophomore cornerback Brandon Turnage was able to provide it. Turnage got the Commodores on the scoreboard for the first time against the Tigers with Lafayette cornerback Brandon Turnage (7) made a key intercep- his 70-yard interception retion Friday night in the Commodores' 28-14 in win over Ripley. turn for a touchdown. It

came in the first half, with the Commodores trailing 7-0. LHS went on to win 2814.

“It was a heck of a play. It came when we really needed something good to happen,” LHS coach Michael Fair said of Turnage, who has also started to emerge as a wide receiver. “Brandon brings a lot to the table with his athletic ability. When Tyler Williams is on the other

side defensively, it's hard for other teams to throw away from him when Brandon is on the other side and playing well. On offense, it's hard for a team to double Tyler because Brandon can beat you on the other side at receiver. He's a great complement to the other players we have out there.”

Fair added that Turnage seems to get better and better each week and then

reminded that he was still just a sophomore who has yet to play one full season at the varsity level.

“He's doing a good job and his athletic ceiling is really good. He's a good player and doing a good job,” Fair said. “He's responded to coaching and it's showing off on Friday nights.” john.davis@journalinc.com Twitter: @oxfordcitizenjd

Thompson’s extra effort has been key for OM Rebels

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS EDITOR

There was a pause that lasted a few seconds before Lexi Thompson answered the question about the improvement she has made.

The Ole Miss junior has been a big reason for the success garnered by the volleyball team this fall.

She remained in Oxford over the summer to improve her skills, instead of travel back to Florida like she has in the past. She was serious about training and she actually listened to the strength coaches and ran, she said with a laugh. The end result was a better vertical jump, and a better feel from a health standpoint.

“The coaches and players all told me that I was a different player this year,” Thompson said.

“And I would personally say that it's from training hard. I would go home and train hard, but I wouldn't have all the equipment. Aubrey (Edie) also pushed me this summer because I worked with her.”

Heading into today's match with Arkansas, Thompson was leading the SEC in double-doubles with 10. Thompson doesn't put much emphasis on stats, because as she said, stats don't win a match.

“It does show my improvement, and I do feel more confident,” Thompson said before talking about the team. “We lost Missouri, but even coach said that he was proud of the way we played. When we lost to Florida, we were all disappointed because we played so well. Then we went to Missouri and after that match, we were mad that we lost. We did well points zero to 20 and then we just couldn't close it out. We can learn from that, we are learning from it, and we can make the next three

Nutt FROM 13

The Game of the Week in college football is something Nutt has his eye on now as opposed to an opponent's middle linebacker or quarterback. College football has always been a part of Nutt's life. Even before he was a coach, he played at both Arkansas and Oklahoma State. And he went to a number of Arkansas games growing in Little Rock.

Nutt has quietly gone about his business since he left Ole Miss and Oxford following the 2011 football season. He has been a regular on TV, and he has given his fair share of speeches at different events. He's even tutored some quarterbacks and offensive skill players. But he hasn't gotten

matches much better.”

Home matches this season are a lot of fun for Thompson, who is a fan of playing in The Pavilion.

“I do like Gillom and I think it will be really cool when it's remodeled. I like the both,” Thompson said.

Ole Miss was the only school Thompson really had a connection with coming out of high school. She was recruited by the former staff, and she has seen a culture change under head coach Steven McRoberts.

“Over the years, we slowly have bought in and now we're making a new culture where everyone is in and everyone is working hard and has the same attitude, positive and upbeat,” Thompson said. “It's a lot more fun. I didn't play for the other coaches, but from the beginning of my first season to the end of that season, the change in attitude was dramatic. Then the next year six freshmen came in and that was positive and now we have only four upperclassmen and one was recruited by Mac.” McRoberts used the word consistent to describe the way Thompson has played.

“From a defensive standpoint, she is extended a lot of rallies.

From a dig standpoint, she's getting to balls to extend those rallies, even when it's three sets,” McRoberts said. “She has a great nose for the ball from that standpoint and she has gotten some big kills for us, not only off the front row, but the back row as well. She is putting up numbers every single match. She's having a great year, a great comeback. She had a great freshman year and then a sophomore slump, but she's come back this year.”

Thompson has a lot of confidence in what the Rebels can

achieve this season, and that everything is very different.

Volleyball is a sport that Thompson has been around since she was very young. Her aunt played at Florida State in 19982002. Thompson was born in 1996 and she remembers getting the ball thrown to her on passes. She attended the same high school — Durant in Plant City, Florida — as her aunt but she wanted to do something different when it came time to choose a college.

“I didn't even consider Florida schools. I just wanted to get out. I heard about Ole Miss and my mom said I could only pick one school to visit because we could-

n't afford a lot,” Thompson said.

“I've lived in Tampa most of my life and my last few years, I lived out to Plant City and that's a smaller town than Tampa, so I wanted that feel. When I came on this visit, I just loved it. The first thing they did was take me to my academic buildings. I'm an engineering major, so that was important for me.”

Thompson ended up committing to Getzin and the Rebels on the spot when she was a junior in high school. The next year, Thompson came back on a paid official visit and just fell back in love with Oxford all over again.

Civil engineering is Thompson's

back into coaching.

“I really appreciate CBS. They've been great to me. I get to watch a lot of ball and keep up with everything. You don't ever lose, but the thing you miss the most is the relationships,” Nutt said. “You miss the players. You miss the competitive spirit side of it on Saturday. A celebrated locker room. There is nothing like it. So it is what it is and I'm just happy to be able to have this.”

Nutt has kept up with what Ole Miss has done the first month as well, and he acknowledged how tough the schedule was.

“You couldn't have asked for a better 30 minutes against Florida State or Alabama. It was sensational to watch them score points and (Chad) Kelly is fun to watch with all those receivers,” Nutt said.

“Of course you got to finish. That's

the only thing I would say, and I know they know that better than anyone. And the way they looked against Georgia, look out. They looked real focused. They made Georgia look like they didn't know what they were doing. It was a really impressive win.”

Right after he got done with the Rebels, Nutt got some phone calls to coach again. His wife felt like he should sit out a season, and take a deep breath, before getting back into the race. Nutt did but the opportunities didn't come like they did back in 2012.

“The last two years really kind of sent me a message. I had several opportunities when I got fired the first time at Ole Miss and looking back, sitting out was probably the wrong thing to do,” he said.

“I've always got calls no matter where I've been and I just ex-

pected to get the next one and the next year I would just get right back in. It's not as easy anymore with search firms and the more you're out of it, you're out of it.

Out of sight, out of mind. It's the next young coordinator that's getting it done right now. When you look at Mack Brown and Phil Fulmer and myself and we're sitting up there, it's not as bright of lights.”

One of the biggest transactions of the first month was the firing of Les Miles at LSU. Nutt said he reached out to Miles but was unable to connect with him. He planned on talking with him at some point to wish him the best.

“The one thing he did know was they tried to get rid of him last year and what looks bad is the world that we live in that we would fire a coach in September.

major, but she isn't quite sure what she wants to do when she graduates from Ole Miss. She does still have another fall and a couple of spring semesters left to figure that out.

“I may not even use it, but I wanted to have a good degree essentially as a backup plan,” she said.

Blocks are the most fun for Thompson to record compared to a kill or even an ace. She got hit with the ball in the face against Missouri, so she's not necessarily trying to hit an opponent there.

“It's fun when it goes straight down,” Thompson said about blocks. “Personally, my favorite, is diving for a ball and getting a ball up that no one thinks you're going to be able to get up. So basically defense, a dig, is more fun for me.”

Thompson needs just 39 more digs to move into the top 10 in school history in that category, and against Missouri, she moved into 10th place with 793 kills.

Days start early for Thompson with school work. She had four tests this week, and McRoberts has even come up to her during practices and said to just hit the ball because he could tell she was stressed out with school. While in high school, Thompson did play basketball, and ran some track, but volleyball was always her sport.

“Track would have been cool to stick with. I ran the 100,” she said.

“I was running in my high school practice and we ran sprints and I was passing my team and they told me they needed a 100 runner and that I didn't even have to practice. I would just practice volleyball and then go out and run.” john.davis@journalinc.com Twitter: @oxfordcitizenjd

What good does that really do?

You have players and assistants in disarray,” Nutt said. “If you wanted to get rid of him, get rid of him last year. I just don't get it. I remember Coach (Frank) Broyles make a statement to me that I will never forget. This was in 1998 and I wasn't making $4 million, but I was making more than I had in my life. He said 'Houston, I love what you do in the community. I love what you do academically. I love what you to helping these kids, but let me tell you, I pay you to win.' That's the bottom line. It's just a fact. Now, as you fast forward into this, the money, and you hate to talk about it, but it's a fact: when you make $4 million, you have to win yesterday.” john.davis@journalinc.com Twitter: @oxfordcitizenjd

Quarles,’Dores top Ripley in 2-4A opener

BY KEDRICK STOREY SOUTHERN SENTINEL

RIPLEY – A Lafayette County ground attack that was averaging 294 yards per game was held to just 28 in the first half of its Division 2-4A opener at Ripley. However, the Commodores found a running groove in the second half to post a 28-14 win. It was the fourth straight victory for LHS after starting the season 0-2.

Commodores junior running back Jamarcus Quarles got behind his pads, and a solid offensive line, to rush for 157 yards and two scores in the second half.

Before his down-hill running kicked in, Ripley (3-3, 0-1) and Lafayette were tied at 7-7 to start the third quarter.

“They changed the defensive front on us, and it took us a little while to adjust to it, but one thing we aren't going to do is panic,” LHS coach Michael Fair said. “We got down early and we hung in there and put our nose to the grindstone and found a few things that worked.”

Lafayette (4-2, 1-0) marched 73 yards on seven plays to start the second half and took the lead for good on Quarles' 15 yard TD jaunt at the 9:24 mark. After a Ripley punt, a short field led to a 1-yard TD run for Jamie

Shaw. Quarles all but put the game away with a 79yard TD run early in the fourth quarter.

“He's just got that ability to score every time he touches the ball and our offensive line started really picking up the tempo in the second half,” Fair added.

Ripley got an early 5yard TD run from quarterback Owen Childs for a 7-0 lead. Lafayette tied it in the second quarter with a 70-yard interception return by sophomore CB Brandon Turnage.

EXTRA POINTS TURNING POINT: After a slow first half of just 45 yards of offense, Lafayette scored on two of its first three possessions of the third quarter to take a commanding 21-7 lead.

POINT MAN: Quarles, who surpassed 1,000 yards for the season, rushed for 157 of his 185 yards in the second half and scored two huge touchdowns.

TALKING POINT: “We got better. The scoreboard didn't necessarily show it, but we've played two of the top teams in 4A the last two weeks and I'm proud of the effort,” said Ripley coach Chad Cook.

NOTES: Childs was 19 of 32 passing for 205 yards.

Commodores quarterback Will Ard finished 9 of

14 passing for 119 yards.

Lafayette County has defeated Ripley in both teams 2-4A opener for the last three years.

The Commodores will return to action Thursday at home against TunicaRosa Fort. The Lions are unable to compete in the Class 4A playoffs this season due to a ruling from the MHSAA in which they put on pads and practiced before the mandatory time period started.

gether a complete game,” Cutcliffe said about the defense. “We felt like we played really well against Lafayette and West Point except for a couple of big plays. So we challenged them to put together a complete game and I think our guys responded in a big way. I think we had a great week of practice, on defense especially, and I think it showed tonight. They were consistent.”

Matt McCrory coordinates the defense for the Chargers and he also felt a lot of pride following the effort. He challenged his players to 1) score on defense and 2) garner a shutout. Both goals were achieved. It was the first shutout for the Chargers since blanking Southaven 35-0 in the 2015 season opener.

“The defensive effort has been real good. I've been real pleased and I'm proud of those those guys. They really stepped up to the plate. I challenged them earlier this week on Monday. I said let's see how many quarters we

Charger linebacker Quentin Wilfawn sacks Saltillo quarterback Kane Wilbanks during the first half. can go without giving up a point,” McCrory said. “We shut them out in the JV game on Monday and then we came out and shut them out tonight. Our two goals were to score on defense and not allow a touchdown, and we did both of them. I'm extremely proud of these kids.

They deserve that. They work hard everyday at practice. It means something to them.”

Defense may have scored and not given the Tigers

much chance to get moving, but the OHS offense also played as well as it has this year. In the previous two games, the Chargers had only scored 11 points. Prior to Friday's game, the Chargers had only scored two touchdowns at home. They had four touchdowns against the Tigers before halftime.

Hiram Wadlington was able to get loose on the ground for Oxford and he finished with 140 yards and

two touchdowns in the first half alone. Wadlington scored the first touchdown of the game on a 5-yard run, and the second-to-last touchdown before intermission from 3 yards out.

“I thought we had lost a little bit of our confidence and I hope that we got that back tonight after a good performance,” Cutcliffe said about the offense, which finished with 404 yards. “The key is to keep getting better and to keep improving on it

every week, and to be playing great at the end of the season. It was huge to see (Wadlington) have a big night. He does everything we ask of him, just a great, great young man.”

Quarterback John Reece McClure also had some productive stats to talk about.

He finished with 257 yards through the air, and three touchdowns overall.

“I think he made a lot of great decisions. We give him a lot of decisions to make, es-

pecially pre snap, run-pass option type stuff, and I thought he did an outstanding job of managing all of that,” Cutcliffe said. “We had some wide receivers step up.

Damarea Burt and Barry Flowers, Dede Pegues and Andrew Robinson did good work. It is true that if somebody goes down, you got to be the next man up and got to keep going.” john.davis@journalinc.com Twitter: @oxfordcitizenjd
