The Big Event: Ole Miss students serve community BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER
Thousands of Ole Miss students filed in at the Pavilion yesterday morning to kick of the annual community service day, the Big Event. Mayor Pat Patterson, Ole Miss Chancellor Jeffery S. Vitter, and Director of Leap Frog Teresa Adams spoke at the event. Organizers took the time to recognize Mayor Patterson and his dedication to working with the Big Event. They thanked the city for everything they’ve done for the program and presented Patterson with a plaque for his service
and wished him well in his political retirement. The chancellor’s speech focused on the importance of giving back. He touched on how community service ties into to the mission of the university to serve and help at every given opportunity. Adams took to the podium to thank every student for showing up that rainy morning. She wanted to share her gratitude with the university students who keep her program running and let them know that the differences they’re making is really changing lives. She shared the story of a particular student volunteer who impacted a boy’s life in the program
so positively that he made a behavioral and academic turn around to a degree that no one at Leap Frog expected. She let them know that their work with programs like Leap Frog and the Boys and Girls Club throughout the year matters so much to the community and the lives of individual children of Lafayette County. After the gathering in the Pavilion, students broke off into groups to lead different community service projects across the community. chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

J. Olive and Tarasque hold culinary sampling and demonstration BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER
Wednesday evening, J. Olive Co. on the north side of the Square was bustling with people from all over the region as they drank wine and sampled some of the many foods that could be prepared or enhanced using the store’s premium
olive oils and balsamics. The event was featured the work of chef John Stokes of Tarasque Cucina . He has been using J. Olive’s products at the restaurant for about a year now and really appreciates the quality of the products. The owners of the store, the James family, approached Stokes about
possible doing a demonstration. Stokes jumped at the chance, excited to share his love of cooking with whoever wanted to listen. “I just tried to showcase some of J. Olive’s vinegars and good selection of their olive oils,” the chef said. “We looked at their applications in marinades, sim-
ple vinaigrettes and mayonnaises or aioli. At Tarasque, we use several of their oils. Among their other stuff, they have a pretty good selection of just nonflavored olive oils from all over the world. It’s amazing the variety that there is among the different olive oil trees. It’s something that we don’t really thing about here because our olive oil comes in that square bottle from Kroger.” There are three J. Olive stores. There is the one in Ridgeland (the flagship store), another in Hattiesburg (the newest store) and the one in Oxford. Tom James, his wife, their two sons and their wives are all owners in the stores and operate them as a family business. James said he wanted to host this event because he wanted to let the community see the many ways in which the store’s products could be used.
“What we’ve found is that people see our oils and balsamics, but they really don’t’ know how to use them,” he said. “John Stokes said he would be happy to help us out. We’ve done something like this in the Ridgeland store with a chef that works for us down there, but never to this extent. This was the first time we’ve invited people to sign up so that we could gage the interest in it.” There were 30 slots available for the event, and people used 29 of the 30 available tickets. Thomas said that it went really well and that everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves. Many of them were asking when the store would host another event like this one, and James said he hopes to host many more in the coming years. When asked what he loved about his job, James said it came down to two different things. The first
being that he genuinely believes in his products. The olive oils and balsamics carried by J. Olive are sourced from all over the world and go through the most rigorous standards out there to ensure the highest quality. James said that he knows his family is helping to bring the people of Mississippi the very best products available. “The other think, as a side benefit, is all the fun people we get to meet from all over,” he said. “We have a lot fun meeting and visiting with different people. We’ve renewed a lot of friendships, especially here in Oxford, with people we’ve known for many, many years. We’ve also enjoyed meeting a lot of new people who have either relocated to Oxford or are just passing through. It’s been a fun thing.” chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

Theatre Oxford to hold fundraiser with upcoming production BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER
Theatre Oxford is teaming up with Team Fox next month to bring to the stage the 2013 Tony Award winning play by Chirstopher Durang “Vanya & Sonia & Masha & Spike.” Team Fox is a division of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research that focuses on community grassroots fundraising. April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month, and several members of the production staff’s families have been directly affected by the neurological disease. Throughout the production, there will be a silent auction held of donated items with all money raised going to fund Parkinson’s research. The items that were donated from the auction range from artwork to business packages. Retailers in Memphis donated, Oxford artists donated, tickets to the Memphis Redbirds baseball team were donated as were two series tickets for the Ole Miss
versus Missouri baseball weekend and so much more. “We received quite a lot of support in this effort,” said Jennifer Murchison who is co-producing the play. “W are just ecstatic about it. We’re just so excited about the opportunity to raise money for Parkinson’s research because there’s a lot
that goes into assisting someone you love who receives that diagnosis. “Vanya & Sonia & Masha & Spike” is a comedy that focuses on the lives of four middle-aged single siblings. Two of the siblings live together, and the play takes place during a visit from Masha, who support the

other two. They get into an argument and Masha threatens to sell the home. A lot of the plays themes are derived from Anton Chekhov’s work. The names of characters, the cherry orchard setting and this idea of losing the ancestral home all pay homage to the works of Chekhov.
Vanya in the play is portrayed by Christopher J. Schager. Shager has been a major player in the Oxford theatre scene for over 25 years, and was a founding member of Theatre Oxford, which is celebrating their 20th anniversary this year. “I love the creativity,” Murchison said when asked
what she liked about working with Theatre Oxford. “I love being able to see people sculpt their characters and bring them to live. It’s different to read a script and then see it performed. There are so many nuances people bring to the roles, the subtle things you don’t think about. There’s some things you can’t get on a page, and that’s where the actor comes in. That’s the talent, and that’s the brilliance behind it.” Theatre Oxford’s production of “Vanya & Sonia & Masha & Spike” will be onstage at the Powerhouse from April 6 to 9. For more information and tickets, visit www.theatreoxford.com. If anyone would like to donate to Theatre Oxford’s effort with Team Fox, feel free to reach out to Jennifer Murchison at jenn_murch9403@yahoo.co m for information on how to do so.

BRIEFING BOOK DRIVE The LOU Reads Coalition is getting ready to launch their third annual spring book drive on March 28 at the Oxford Art Crawl. Children’s books at all reading levels, including board books, picture books, chapter books and nonfiction in new or gently used condition, are all appreciated for distribution by the Excel by 5 Coalition and LOU Reads Coalition. Drop off locations include the Lafayette County & Oxford Public Library, Oxford Activity Center, the Oxford-Lafayette County Chamber of Commerce, the Powerhouse Community Arts Center, the University of Mississippi University Museum and area public school offices. Students with Jr. Leadership Lafayette and student athletes at the University of Mississippi worked in teams to design one-of-a-kind boxes for each drop off location.

This access to educational programming in the summer is a critical component for families and educators trying to help students close the achievement gap between high- and lowincome students.

Blauer gets tax exemption from county BY CODY FUTRELL NEWS WRITER
Blauer Manufacturing will receive a Free Port Warehouse Tax Exemption for 2017 worth $145,000 and remain in Lafayette County for one year while it negotiations expanding its employer footprint in Oxford. Those were the terms reached with a unanimous vote at a special session of the Lafayette County Board of Supervisors on Friday.
“(The Board of Supervisors grants the tax exemption) under the condition that (Blauer) will commit to staying in Oxford for another year,” Supervisors President Jeff Busby said. “We will begin negotiating a long term deal with their team.” The Board of Supervisors spent most of the morning in executive session before emerging with a unanimous vote to grant the tax exemption and continue to work on a long term commitment of
jobs and growth in the area from Blauer. District 1 Supervisor Kevin Frye said the county will spend the next three months negotiating deals that would add jobs to the 148 already employed locally by the manufacturing company. Blauer Manufacturing deals in the customization of uniforms for police and other agencies and has been part of the Max D. Hill Lafayette County Industrial Park since
1987. The company also operates as SWM Company. The Free Port Warehouse Tax Exemption will come from the taxes Blauer was paying into the Lafayette County schools tax. Frye said that the coming year will be a property reappraisal year so the board of supervisors does not foresee any decrease in funding for local schools due to the new tax exemptions for Blauer. “The Free Port Tax Ex-
emption will come out of the school budget,” Frye said. “Our tax assessor assures us the loss will be made up so we do not anticipate the schools losing any funding as a result of this vote. Blauer has a local yearly payroll north of $5 million and those are jobs that we need to keep here in Lafayette County and sometimes our job requires us balancing of competing interest and the board did a good job of balancing this.”
Oxford Conference for the Book returns next weekend BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER
For the past 24 years, the Oxford Conference for the Book has been bringing in writers and readers from across the country to congregate in Oxford and celebrate the written word. Next weekend, the Oxford Conference for the Book returns with a large variety of free and interesting events open to the public. The conference is organized with help from the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi, Square Books, the Lafayette County Literacy Council, and many more local sponsors. The Mississippi Arts Commission, Ole Miss, the Mississippi Humanities Council and the R&B Feder Foundation for the Beaux Arts all contributed significant financial donations in order to make the conference possible.Visiting speakers for the conference are housed at the Inn at Ole Miss during their stay. Kicking off the opening event will be Jay Satterfield who serves as a special collections librarian at Dartmouth. He’ll be in the J.D. Williams Library on campus speaking about Randomhouse’s approach to marketing the works of William Faulkner. Randomhouse was the first publishing house to focus on selling an author rather than selling a book.
The method was so successful that people wanted whatever Faulkner was putting out next, regardless of what it was about. Readers trusted the work because they trusted the author. This marketing method changed the way books were sold. The Ole Miss Archives and Special Collections has put together an exhibit to coincide with Satterfield’s talk. Other events include instructive seminars, poetry panels, readings, a film screening and so much more. The event kicks off Wednesday morning is packs several event into each day, coming to close Friday evening. James G. Thomas, Jr. is the associate director of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at Ole Miss and serves as the director of the Oxford Conference for the Book. He took the helm of the project back in 2015, so this is his third conference to oversee. “This conference really reminds me of why I love living in Oxford,” Thomas said. “People come here form all over the country because Oxford has such a great literary reputation. We’re so lucky that we have the opportunity to have so many incredible writers come to town, not only for this particular conference, but in general and often. People come here and just are amazed that a place like Oxford exists and that it’s filled with so many smart and en-
gaged readers as well as an incredible amount of writers. We kind of take it for granted sometimes, but it really is amazing
that we live in such a liter- visit www.oxfordconferenceforthebook.com. ary place.” For a full schedule of events for the 2017 Oxford chaning.green@journalinc.com Conference for the Book, Twitter: chaningthegreen

Carpenter begins new chapter with RSVP BY JOHN DAVIS OXFORD PARK COMMISSION
In between visiting almost every single state park in Mississippi, Marlee Carpenter has been serving residents of Oxford and Lafayette County through Leisure Lifestyles of Oxford. Carpenter is set to begin a new chapter of her career working for the city. She was recently hired as a recruiter for the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program or RSVP. Carpenter graduated from The University of Mississippi in 2016 with a degree in parks and recreation. Ole Miss was where the native of Burnsville started to gain an appreciation for Oxford. “I did a lot of community work with the university through AmeriCorps and was involved there for a year and a half when I was stationed with More Than a Meal and Bramlett Elementary,” Carpenter said. “It was after all that I
got involved with the park commission. I think the university helped push me into the community. I knew when I was in high school that I wanted to work with youth. My background was in summer camps, so I went for a huge transition working with camps to seniors and retirees. I knew I still wanted to work with nonprofit organizations that offer public services.” For the past two and a half years, Carpenter worked as the assistant programmer for LLO. She felt that prepared her for her new position, and allowed her to pursue her current position with RSVP. Carpenter was eager for a bigger leadership role with the community because she fell in love with the seniors and retired members of the community. “LLO really helped give me that training and that perfect transition so that I could be more involved

said adding she wanted to enhance the RSVP pledge of working for the greatest good to improve the county, community, coun-
try and each other. “I want to take that message and run with it and continue to introduce it into the world of retirees. They
know (RSVP) is out here, but they don’t always know what they can do to help. I want to be more creative and find more stations. They have 42 right now, but I want to dig deep and see what I can produce, something new and fresh for them.” When Carpenter isn’t at work, she likes to go outdoors. She has been known to stop and smell the flowers, and even plant them. As a state park ambassador, Carpenter has extensive knowledge about which ones are best and what amenities they offer. “The university were seeking ambassadors and I thought it was perfect for me,” said Carpenter, who has visited state parks. “I would write blogs about them, and I still try to do it in my free time, giving reviews.” For more information on RSVP, contact Carpenter at rsvprep@oxfordms.net or 232-2773.

A greenhouse at Lafayette County High School is filled with several varieties of plants grown by students in preparation for the school's annual Plant Sale.
LHS gearing up for annual Plant Sale BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER
Lafayette County High School’s Plant Science class is preparing for their annual Plant Sale to be held the morning of April 8. This year’s Plant Sale will also have a yard sale component where gently used clothing and other items will also be available for purchase. All of the money raised goes to support the school’s agriculture program in order to fund trips,
supplies and more for the students. All plants grown for the sale were germinated and cared for by students. The plants are housed in one of the school’s greenhouses and tended to by students about two days out of the week “It’s really fun being able to see what you’ve done,” said Brooke Savage, a sophomore at Lafayette participating in the plant sale. “We’ve gotten to see them grow and it’s nice to see that and think, ‘Oh, wow. I did that.’”
A lot of the plants for the Plant Sale began as seeds and students were put in charge of germinating them. Once the plants had a sprout, they were properly incubated and transferred into the proper soil. The plants were eventually placed in the greenhouse and continued to be transferred into more appropriately sized containers in order to give their roots the room to stretch. Some of the plants require periodical upkeep for things like pruning and
shifting. The greenhouse has an automatic irrigation system so that the plants within the enclosure have a constant supply of water. Plants being grown for the sale range from edibles to just aesthetically pleasing flowers and hanging plants. Some are ornamental pepper plants, there are strawberry plants, herbs, Wandering Jews and more. Meredith McCurdyRhodes is the teacher in charge of the Plant Sale. She teaches different agriculture classes for the school
and is the faculty advisor for the school’s branch of Future Farmers of America. She said that she’s extremely proud of how hard her Plant Science class has worked to get the greenhouse ready for the Plant Sale and is hoping to see much of the community come out to support them. “We just want to show people that this what students can do,” said Abigail Johnson, a sophomore in McCurdy-Rhodes’ Plant Science class. “I’ve never had a green thumb, but
we’ve all done pretty well here. We did this all by ourselves and we’re pretty proud of it.” The Plant Sale will be held Saturday, April 8 and last from 7 to 11 a.m. Those with questions or who are interested in donating items for yard sale component can reach out to McCurdy-Rhodes at meredith.mccurdy@gocommodores.org for more information. chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen
Board approves rezoning for TND BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER
The March 21 meeting of the mayor and Board of Alderman began Tuesday night with the mayor’s report. Among other things Mayor Pat Patterson wanted to make citizens aware that there are a few controlled burns happening in places throughout the city. The most discussed topic at the meeting was the issue of rezoning 47.68 acres of land that would allow for the construction of a traditional neighborhood development (TND). A public hearing was
held during the last board meeting where several citizens voiced their concerns and support of the rezoning. Those opposed the rezoning were worried about the construction of the self contained neighborhood would do to the stability of the land, the road systems, years of construction and more. Those in favor of the rezoning say it is clearly the obvious next step in ensuring well constructed growth of the city. In addition to the public hearings there and in meetings of the Planning Commission, the board has received dozens of regarding the matter.
The board discussed it from their points of view. Before the discussion began, the mayor read a letter from John Alderman-at-Large Morgan who was unable to attend the meeting. The letter stated Morgan’s clear support in favor of the rezoning.
The discussions began with Ward 1 Alderman Rick Addy. The proposed area that would be rezoned sits in his ward. He was ultimately in support of the rezoning but wanted to go on record stating that he would like to see special attention paid to the construction of sidewalks to make the area safer for pedestrians. Ward 3 Alderman Janice Antonow spoke about her concerns regarding the project. She said flooding was already a problem in the area after heavy rain falls and wanted to know what assurances would be in place to keep that in check if con-
struction were to move forward. The mayor had similar questions of his own. Representatives of the Oxford Police Department were there to discuss ordinances already in place to make sure companies construction take precautions as to not damage the property of residents. Violations can result in a one-week suspension of the project, during which no work can be done on a project. Violators can also face a 30-day work suspension and must appear before the Board of Alderman for permission to resume once this 30-day period is up. The board ultimately ap-
proved the rezoning. Antonow made the motion to approve and Ward 4 Alderman Ulysses Howell was the only alderman who opposed the rezoning during the final vote. The board also had a first of reading of a proposed by the Mississippi Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) that could make it illegal for nonrestaurants to serve alcohol to customers. This would primarily affect businesses like nail salons that serve alcohol while to customers while they provide their services. chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: chaningthegreen

Lafayette rallies to walk-off on Oxford in extras
W
ith the way the entire contest went through defensively, one would think the two run lead the Oxford Chargers earned on their end of the eighth inning would be enough. Colin Crawford had other ideas. After giving up those two runs on the mound, Crawford drove in the winning run on a walk-off sacrifice fly for the Lafayette Commodores and beat the Chargers 4-3 in eight innings. The win snapped a four-game losing skid to their crosstown rival. For much of the game, it was a pitcher’s duel between Oxford’s Tyler Smith and Lafayette’s Luke Gossett. Gossett came in during the second inning in relief of starter Will Ard who had issued four walks in the eight batters he faced. Lafayette coach Greg Lewis didn’t like how Ard was handling himself and made the switch to Gossett to get out of a bases-loaded jam with one out. Gossett escaped the situation unscathed with back-to-back strikeouts. “I was reading Ard’s body language and I told him ‘I know you aren’t done, but I’m just reading it and you don’t have it. I want a guy that wants the ball back up there right then. I know you’re going to be that guy’ and he has been in a couple games,” Lewis said. “I know Goose (Gossett) can fill it up.” Gossett filled the zone throwing 40 of his 65 pitches for strikes in 4 1/3 relief innings giving up one unearned run on two hits, allowed two walks, and had two strikeouts, but got a no-decision on the mound for Lafayette (7-8-1 overall). Smith was very impressive for Oxford (13-2) going seven innings, allowing one unearned run on four hits, seven strikeouts and did not allow a free pass to a Commodore batter, but received a no-decision on the mound as well. “I thought Tyler Smith was great. Luke (Gossett) was good. We had a focus yesterday in BP on what we just saw tonight. That’s exactly what we’re going to see (Friday) night,” Oxford coach Chris Baughman said referring to preparing for last Friday’s contest against New Hope. “The first five innings offensively, we just didn’t have a very good approach. Tyler kept us in it. We played good enough defense minus the one error.” John Reece McClure suffered the loss for the Chargers after blowing a save chance in the eighth allowing three Commodore runs on two hits and a walk after Oxford picked up a 3-1 lead in the top half of the inning. Lafayette mounted their comeback on McClure starting with a leadoff walk from pinchhitter Foster Westbrook, then Corey Taylor got TURN TO LAFAYETTE PAGE 13

Lafayette senior Will Carter stepped in at mixed doubles, playing with Abby Arrington, this season.
Smart Angles Carter happy to help Lafayette win in tennis any way possible BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS WRITER
A year from now, Will Carter will be starting his academic career and pursuit of earning a degree in architecture. The senior wants to be involved in building, or something similar. Until then, the Lafayette Commodore is doing his best to figure out the angles on the tennis court. Carter is a key member of the LHS team. He plays mixed doubles with teammate Abby Arrington, which is a change of pace from what he has been playing the past few seasons. Coach Debbie Swindoll has been very pleased with his willingness to change from regular doubles with a male teammate to mixed. “He’s been with me since seventh grade. I’ve probably started about three boys from seventh grade on through our program. He’s pretty versatile,” Swindoll said. “I can move him and put him in a lot of different places. He’s a good kid, strong. And he’s smart.”
Carter is the only senior boy on the roster, and Swindoll couldn’t do without him. Being smart in tennis is a big help, and when you know angles like Carter does, his ability only increases. “This is a game about angles and the thought process of where you should be hitting the ball,” Swindoll said. “It’s about percentages. This is a pretty special class. I’ve had them for a while. I think Will has been playing varsity for three years. I’ve played him in 1 doubles and 2 doubles and mixed. A lot of times you want an older guy in mixed because it can be intimidating for the girl. You want somebody that can help protect the girl, and it’s hard to do that with a younger guy playing mixed.” Carter is relatively pleased with his season so far. He praised Arrington, and the results the two have garnered so far. “It’s gone good, a lot better than it has the past few years,” Carter said. “We’ve had a lot more success against teams that we haven’t had as much against in the past. We got a lot of practice in last year, played a lot of different teams. Ms.
Debbie really worked with us on the drills.” During the offseason, Carter really worked on his backhand more than anything else. The key to it all were additional reps. His strengths are volleys and forehand. Tennis is a sport that Carter has been playing since he was age 5, and he loves the ability to play as a team but still gain success as an individual. “We’ve done really well this year. I think we can do some big things this year,” Carter said. Following graduation, Carter is planning to attend Northeast Mississippi Community College and study architecture and then head off to Mississippi State once he has completed that degree. His father Chris is a building inspector and Carter’s goal is to return to Oxford after school and do the same thing. The thinking part of tennis matches up well with Carter’s personality. “I think it helps. I’m a competitive guy,” Carter said, who did play other sports before sticking to tennis.

Gossett bringing the heat for the Commodores JOHN DAVIS SPORTS WRITER
When Lafayette baseball coach Greg Lewis needs someone to throw a strike, or get the Commodores out of a jam, he knows that Luke Gossett is up to the challenge. The senior has been key for LHS on the mound so far, this season. Gossett has started games for Lewis, but he also has the ability to finish them out. In Lafayette’s 4-3 win over No. 5 Oxford Thursday night, Gossett came on in relief of starter Will Ard. He kept the Chargers at bay offensively, long enough to let the Commodores garner the victory late. “I felt like Luke would be the leader of our team. I told him that he would be more of a vocal leader. I think that’s happening to a few of them, that it’s OK to hurt someone’s feelings and get on their butt a little bit if you want to get to where we want to go,” Lewis said. “It hasn’t started out like we wanted to, but at least some of them are buying into being better and Luke is one of those guys.” There have been different times this season that Gossett has started and gone the distance for the Com-
modores. Lewis said Gossett is opposing the other team’s No. 1 pitcher a lot of the times. He’s also done a good job out of the bullpen, or off the bench, when needed. “I like when he’s out there because you feel like he’s going to go out and compete,” Lewis said. “That’s a guy you can pull in and feel pretty good about what he can do. I like him coming in after our other guys. We have three or four we can put out there but if we’re in a tight situation, it’s nice to be able to bring him off the bench. If we can hang around a little bit, we get an extra boost when he’s out there.” Before the Oxford game, Gossett was looking to do a little more. He wasn’t as pleased with her performance on the mound. “I can definitely pick it up more than what I’ve been showing. I haven’t been bad on the mound, but I can do better. And at the plate, I haven’t been doing my best, that’s for sure,” Gossett said. “The past couple of weeks, I’ve been getting better at the plate. Earlier in the season, I wasn’t swinging at good pitches and getting down in the count. I wasn’t too successful.” The changeup is the pitch
JOHN DAVIS
Lafayette senior Luke Gossett has been a steady performer on the mound and at the plate for the Commodores. that Gossett throws when he needs to get an out. It’s also the pitch that has improved each game. “It’s been my go-to pitch pretty much,” Gossett said adding he is a fastballchangeup guy.
Prior to Thursday night, the best outing for Gossett had come against Olive Branch. He closed the game out, sitting the Conquistadors down in order to save the game. Gossett said the Com-
modores have been close since the start of the season. They have played a tough schedule, but he thought that would pay off in the long run. “We’ve been playing good 5A and 6A teams. I think we’re learning a lot more about ourselves playing those teams,” Gossett said. “We’re getting better playing those tough teams and we will be ready for district and the playoffs. I believe we have a good chance of winning district. We have to get through Ripley and New Albany, and if we do, I think we have a good shot of winning it.” New Albany is up next for the Commodores when it comes to division play. They already have wins over Byhalia and Tunica-Rosa Fort. Gossett feels like he is a team leader, even if he doesn’t always show his emotions. There have been times when Gossett’s adrenaline gets going, and he is bouncing around the diamond. It was hard for him to believe that this was his senior year. “It feels like just yesterday I was in ninth grade and working for my spot. My 10th grade year, I was batting at the bottom of the order and it’s a lot different batting at
the bottom versus the top of the order,” Gossett said. “You see a lot more different pitches and this year, I’m learning to hit the changeup a lot more and the curveball and hit the fastball earlier in the count versus just seeing a bunch of fastballs being down in the lineup.” One thing that Gossett is looking to do the rest of the year on offense is to avoid the trash pitches. “I want to get ahead earlier in the count. Getting ahead is huge for a hitter. You see a lot more fastballs you can hit when you’re ahead in the count,” he said. Baseball has been a part of Gossett’s life the past 14 years. He wasn’t sure that after this season he would be playing the sport any longer. If he doesn’t get an offer to play college ball, Gossett at least gave it all he could. “Baseball is my favorite sport. My love for it is greater than it is for football,” he said. “Hopefully we can go far this season in baseball and finish it out good. Football taught me hard work and just working our butts off. It came out when we won state and you’re really happy that the coaches pushed you that hard. You realize it’s all worth it.”
Patterson’s development of interest in spring BY BEN GARRETT SPECIAL TO OXFORD CITIZEN
The success or failure of Ole Miss football in 2017-18 will, in many respects, hinge on the play of sophomore quarterback Shea Patterson. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Patterson, who was the No. 1 prep quarterback in the country in 2016, enters next season as the unquestioned starter. He started three games as a true freshman following a season-ending injury to Chad Kelly. Patterson engineered a comefrom-behind road win at then-No. 8 Texas A&M in his college debut. He finished with six touchdowns compared to three interceptions, averaging 293.3 passing yards per game. So it’s understandable, then, that Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze and staff are paying considerable at-
tention to Patterson’s development in spring practices. recently The Rebels wrapped their third week. “Shea has great leadership,” Ole Miss junior offenlineman Javon sive Patterson said. “He’s done a great job from that point on to here. He took that role, and he’s done a great job being vocal.” Shea Patterson is tasked with replacing the incredible production of Kelly, who accounted for an SEC-high 3,090 yards of offense last season. In his first season, he earned All-SEC secondteam honors after breaking or tying 14 Ole Miss singleseason records, including total yards (4,542), passing yards (4,042), passing touchdowns (31), touchdowns responsible for (41), and 300-yard passing games (eight). Kelly's 4,542 total yards

Quarterback Shea Patterson's development has been one of the focuses during spring practice. and 4,042 passing yards are both third-most in a season in SEC history, while his 41 total touchdowns are tied for seventh all time. Ole Miss is installing a new offense this spring. Freeze replaced Dan Werner with Phil Longo, a discipline
of the Air Raid. His Sam Houston State offenses combined for 22,243 yards over the last three years and smashed FCS records. “There’s a percentage of things he’s questioning,” Freeze said. “You can actually see it. As I stand behind
him he’s hesitant to give the cadence for the snap, because he’s trying to process it all, and that’s because all the verbage is new, all the tags are new. I think he’ll have it down by the end of our 15 practices.” Sam Houston State was ranked No. 1 in total offense and No. 2 in scoring offense and passing offense last season, which followed a 2015 campaign that saw the Bearkats set a Southland Conference season record with 7,975 yards of offense – a total that sits third all-time in FCS history. Long said he’s pleased with where Patterson is, development-wise, through eight practices. “I know this is rhetoric, and I don’t mean to bore y’all, but he’s where I want him to be in practice eight,” Longo said. “He’s a gifted passer, and we all know how
mobile he is. We’ve got to do a good job of making sure we utilize both of those things. Mentally, I think every day that goes by – and I don’t want to put words in his mouth, but just based on my conversations with him – he gets more excited every day. The light’s coming on. It’s getting brighter and brighter every day. He’s starting to realize how much he can do in the offense. That’s a good thing right now.” Patterson is a former fivestar prospect who was both an Army and Parade AllAmerican as a high school senior. He led IMG to its first-ever undefeated season, completing 79 of 129 passes for 1,533 yards and 18 touchdowns to four interceptions. He completed 129 of 199 passes for 2,428 yards and 38 touchdowns to five interceptions for Calvary Baptist (La.) as a junior.

Oxford Soccer Club participates in Mike Rose Soccer League BY JOHN DAVIS OXFORD PARK COMMISSION
Spring break was the first chance for several members of the Oxford Soccer Club to sit down and take a breath. For six teams associated with the club, weekly training has included trips to Memphis, Tennessee to take part in the prestigious Mike Rose Soccer League. Shaun Edgar, the Director of Training for the OSC, was the one who got the teams involved at Mike Rose, which features nightly games against some of the most competitive teams in the area. “First, it's an honor for our club to be invited to participate in a league of this caliber,” Edgar said. “The league is designed for player development. Playing regularly scheduled league matches allows us the opportunity to evaluate our progress on a weekly basis and focus in on specific team and player development strengths and needs. We want to follow the latest and most effective trends in youth player development and competing once a week allows us to follow a training and playing ratio of 3:1 (4:1 is most optimal) per week. In following this model, we will see players grow in the game and be more team and self-aware.” The level of play in Memphis is more consistent from a competition standpoint, which ultimately is better for those taking part in the club. “The focus is players becoming better by playing proper soccer and dealing with game situations that

For our older players, the speed of play and overall tactics present a new challenge each game.” Future development is a big point of emphasis for the OSC and these weekly contests will allow the trainers to modify things for the participants. “We are using this experience to compete and as an extension of our training. It allows us work on things we create in training except it is in a ‘live’ game environment against an opponent that is trying to counter what we do,” Edgar said. “This will allow our players to grow in ways they have not had in the past. We can then reference
situations in training allowing our players the ability to remember and execute desired outcomes from our matches.” One of the big reasons OSC was able to participate in Mike Rose for the first time is the level of commitment made to teach the game properly. Player development is at the forefront of everything OSC does, and that will continue through this season in Mike Rose, and beyond. The teams that are traveling to Mike Rose include the 2001 boys and girls, which play in the high school division, the 200304 boys, the 2005 boys, the 2006 boys and the 2005-06 girls.

said ‘Look, you’re back in the same spot you usually are’ and plus we were coming to the top of the order. Our leadoff hitter already had one hit. I felt pretty good about the way he was swinging the bat. I said ‘if we could get you two on, I feel like we have a shot at this thing.’” Gossett drove in Westbrook from second base with a double down the left field foul line that travelled all the way to the wall and brought Lafayette to 3-2. John Tate
Roberts drove in Taylor with a groundout to tie the game at 3, then Crawford’s sacrifice fly to right field was just deep enough to score pinch-runner Braxton McCord from third to win. Sam Bianco and Clark Stovall were the only Chargers with hits in the contest. Xavier Martin and Ross Ingram also had hits for Lafayette. Crawford ended up getting the win on the mound for the Commodores.
