Central: One Win Away from District 4-5A Title

Wildcats Must Win To Guarantee Spot In State 5A Playoff
Scotlandville side of the ball will soon forget. “One of the all-time great Central victories!” a Central alumnus of the 1950’s said after the game. Central won 28-25 in an overtime slugfest that could have easily gone either way. A field goal by sophomore kicker Jonathan Thibodeaux made the difference, and a classic goal-line stand by the Central defense sealed the victory. For Coach Doug Dotson, it was a sweet victory for a Cinderella, come-back team that was counted out early in the season.
Central goal-line stand led to victory.
After six games, the Wildcats were 2-4 and had only the remotest hope of winning a fourth straight District 4-5A Championship. Now the Come-Back Kids have won three straight against Walker, Denham Springs, and Scotlandville, and the team that starts five sophomores must only win its remaining game against Live Oak this Friday night. Central is heavily favored. If the Wildcats do in fact win in Watson, they will share the District Title with either Zachary or Denham Springs, depending on which See CLUTCH on Page 10

Life After 65: Be Who You Really Are!
My Friend Stopped Practicing Law at Age 65; “The Real Lawyers Practice ’til They Die,” He Said. Woody Jenkins
Editor, Central City News
CENTRAL — Ben Louis Day has been a prominent attorney in Baton Rouge for 40 years, but he recently turned 65 and promptly retired. I saw Ben Louis eating a hamburger at Dearman’s Tuesday, and he said he is as happy as a lark. “Of course, the real lawyers practice until they die!” he laughed. “But that’s not me. I was always good at practicing law, but, on the inside, that’s not who I really was. It was a good way to make a living, but I didn’t have the passion for it. So I’m retired!” Ben Louis was an outstanding student at Istrouma High School, Class of 1964, and prominent in the Key Club. He was outstanding at LSU and the LSU Law School. Ben’s dad, Norman Day, coached basketball at Central High School in the 1930’s and later served as principal at Prescott Jr. High. We talked about some of our classmates and whether their professions reflected who they really were on the inside. We considered Bobby Dardenne, the student council president in the Class of 1964. He was the editor of the Mexico
City News for years and now teaches journalism at the University of South Florida. We agreed Bobby was always meant to be a professor. I thought of my friend Bob Tinney. He was a great artist, even in high school. He studied art at Louisiana Tech. He and I started an Woody Jenkins editorial cartoon service, conceiving and drawing editorial cartoons for nearly 100 newspapers around the country. Over the past 40 years, Bob has illustrated the covers of hundreds of national magazines. He changed with the times, moving from pen and ink to oils and, for the past 30 years, to computer illustration. I believe Bob Tinney will be an artist until the day he dies. It makes me happy to realize that everyday he gets to do what he loves. Wouldn’t it be great if everyone could do what he loves to do? When I was a teenager, my dad told me, “Son, be in business for yourself. That will give you free-
dom. Then do what you love, and find a way to make a living doing it.” I followed his advice and now, nearly 50 years later, would give the same advice to any young man or woman coming up. Of course, the “freedom” that comes from being in business for yourself carries with it an 80- to 100-hour work week and no guarantee of success. And most businesses go out of business in the first five years. Yet, most businessmen and women wouldn’t think of anything else. The rewards are too great. One small businessman told me recently that “I risk everything every month for the chance to be free to set my own course and chart my own destiny.” Research shows that salaried employees have much the same standards for happiness as business owners. From their work, they seek self-esteem, a feeling of competency, and a feeling that they are in control of their circumstances. Ben Louis Day got all of those things from his work — self-esteem, a feeling of competency, and a feeling of being in control. Yet,
CENTRAL — Gary Ward, Master Jeweler, will hold a Grand Opening for his new fine jewelry store, Gary Allyn Designs at City Market, corner Greenwell Springs at Magnolia Bridge roads, next Friday, Nov. 11 at 11:11 a.m. Ward said the opening will be at the 11th minute of the 11th hour of Nov. 11 — the exact same time
that World War I ended in 1918. The new store will feature custom jewelry, diamond sales, gold buying, and antique restoration. Ward has been in the jewelry business for many years and especially enjoys creating unique, custom designed jewelry. He can be reached at 975-1281 or gary@garyallyndesigns.com.

he just didn’t want to continue it. What is your work? Are you a carpenter, a mason, a school teacher, a secretary, a lawyer, a doctor? Is that who you really are, or is that just what you do to pay the bills? The ability to retire is determined primarily by money. Whether we have the option to retire or not is mainly about the money we have available to fund our retirement. But if a person has the resources to retire, the decision to retire is a very different question. It’s more about who you really are inside. You may say, “I’ve worked hard all my life. What I want to do now is spend time with my spouse and my grandchildren.” I say fine, do it! Or you may say, “At heart, I am truly a beach bum! I want nothing more than to sit at the cabana bar on the beach with my margarita and watch the girls go by!” I applaud that view too. If that is you, why not find a way to do it? Or you may say, “Beach bums disgust me. I want to be productive. I want to go back to teaching!” I say fine — find a way to do it. People today are living longer. We can’t all retire. There are too many Baby Boomers in the pipeline. If a lot of us don’t keep working, the system will collapse. So if you love what you’re doing now, why not keep doing it? If not, why not find something that you do love to do? After all, if you’re 65, you may live another 40 years! That’s a whole other lifetime! For the years that are left, why not find a way to be who you are and do what you love to do? The Best Price In Roofing & Sheet Metal Services

or in prison. At first, we rented two buses from First Student. Now we own six buses that run the routes.” Last Sunday, 129 children rode the bus to church, he said. Some of them come from the trailer parks at Tanglewood or on Foster Road. Some of these children, along with children of long-time church members, form the basis of the school’s student body. Pastor Spell, who is 31, said many of these students would have otherwise been destined to be murderers or thieves but now will become productive members of society. “You are going to see these young people graduate, get a job, raise good families, and make a real contribution.” Most of the teachers at Apostolic Truth Academy are members of Life Tabernacle who donate their services to the school. In addition to academics, students learn the Bible. Pastor Spell personally teaches the Bible class, and students from K through 5th grade memorize one Bible verse a week. Older students learn two a week. “We go counter to what this generation is being taught,” he said. “We will put the right role models in front of these young people. Failure is not an option.” “We offer corporal punishment at this school too, and we had to use it twice this year!” he laughed. For more information, call 4857833.
Harvest Festival Saturday, Nov. 12 To Benefit School Woody Jenkins
Editor, Central City News
CENTRAL — The fall semester is well underway for Central’s first new school since the creation of the Central Community School System. Apostolic Truth Academy has opened its doors in the education building at Life Tabernacle Church, 9323 Hooper Road in Central. The Christian school was founded by pastor Tony Spell and his wife, Sister Shaye, the principal. Life Tabernacle was founded by Brother and Sister Bervick Spell, Tony Spell’s grandparents. During its first semester, Apostolic Truth Academy has 35 students enrolled in K through 12th grade with eight faculty members. It uses the ABEKA curriculum. Pastor Spell said graduates of the school will be eligible for participation in Louisiana’s TOPS scholarship program. The church is sponsoring a Harvest Festival all day on Saturday, Nov. 12 to help raise money for the school. Local businesses, organizations, and individuals can rent booths for $100 each and may sell or give away products and services. More than 100 booths have already been reserved. The event will include lots of food, games, and entertainment. Enrollment in the school has been limited to church members during the first semester, but Pastor Spell said non-members may apply for the semester starting on Jan. 3. The pastor said he wanted to start the school for several reasons, including spreading the word of Christ, combatting the worldly in-

The church has been experiencing rapid growth, in part because of its bus ministry. “On Sunday mornings, we run buses through neighborhoods from Scotlandville to Central and pick up kids who otherwise would not attend church.

Central Dental Seriously Damaged by Fire

LATE NIGHT FIRE — Dr. Jacob Henderson points out damage to Capt. Derek Glover late Friday night after his dental clinic caught fire. Central and BR firefighters responded.
ELECTRICAL FIRE — An initial investigation of the blaze, which occurred after the Central-Scotlandville game, suggested it was caused by electrical problems.
60 Years Ago, Eisenhower Was First GOP Candidate in Central Continued from Page 1
paign in Central — nearly 60 years ago — because she was part of it. “I was 10 years old in 1952, and my mother and I walked up and down Foster Road, campaigning for General Eisenhower for President,” she said. It was indeed an unusual sight. Mrs. Clara Carmena of Comite Drive said, “In those days, we never even heard of a Republican, much less met one!” she laughed. But Diana said she and her mother, Emma Young Weber, got a good response from voters. “People loved General Eisenhower. It wasn’t really about Republican vs. Democrat, but people wanted someone who would keep our country safe,” she said. “My mother’s brother, Major Raynor (Judge) Young, was killed
in the Philippines during World War II. Eisenhower was respected as a military commander and a good man. She trusted him to protect us from the Communists and threats we faced,” Diana said. Diana Weber’s father, Sidney Weber, was a close friend of Dr. Virgil Jackson, Sr. Dr. Jackson, who resided in New Orleans and in Central, is well remembered here for having donated Jackson Park to the Central community. Diana said her father helped Dr. Jackson and Leonard Keowen construct the park. Dr. Jackson was known nationally and was active in Republican politics. He was Republican National Committeeman from Louisiana and reportedly drove General Eisenhower from New Orleans to Baton Rouge during the 1952 campaign.
Records of the East Baton Rouge Parish Registrar of Voters only maintain statistics on party registration as far back as 1960. But the numbers in that office reveal how few Republicans they were in the parish — much less in Central. According to JoAnn Jensen of Registrar Elaine Lamb’s office, here is the breakdown of GOP voters in the parish since 1960: East Baton Rouge Parish Republican Registered Voters Year White Black 1960 597 52 1970 3,393 282 1980 17,541 663 1990 43,446 1,601 2000 64.829 2,925 2010 70,574 2,869 Before 1975, Louisiana’s system of party primaries strongly discour-
aged voters from registering as Republicans, because they could not participate in the “real election,” the Democratic Primary. With the passage of Louisiana’s Open Primary law in 1975, there were no more party primaries and all voters participated in the same “open,” non-party elections. By 1980, the Democratic Party had moved far to the left, and most voters in Central supported Gov. Ronald Reagan for President, even though they were not themselves registered as Republicans. In 1995, popular Central State Rep. Donald Ray Kennard switched to Republican and many voters soon followed suit. — By Woody Jenkins

Clutch OT FG, Goal Line Stand
With 1.7 seconds left in the game, Central tries a FG from the 26. But it’s blocked, and Scotlandville runs it back 74 yards for a TD! The game is over and Scotlandville wins, 31-25, as seen on the scoreboard... But, wait, there’s a penalty! No TD!
We’re into OT: Scotlandville wins the toss. Central has the ball. For the 2nd straight week, Jonathan Thibodeaux hits a crucial FG. Central leads 28-25.

one wins when those two pair off Friday night. Since Zachary beat Central in the regular season, a Zachary victory would give the Broncos bragging rights to the title, with Central as Co-Champion. Since Central beat Denham Springs in the regular season, a Denham win would give Central the championship, with Denham Springs as the Co-Champion. In either case, a Central victory
over Live Oak will put the Wildcats once again in the State 5A Playoffs. In the first round of the playoffs, Central would face a highlyranked opponent on that team’s home field. Last Friday night’s game ended up in a 25-25 tie with 1.7 seconds left on the clock. Central lined up for a 26-yard field goal attempt. Jonathan Thibodeaux, the hero of the previous week’s victory over Denham
Springs, was set to kick a gamewinning field goal as the clock ran out. To everyone’s amazement, the game took a dramatic turn. Scotlandville blocked Thibodeaux’s field goal attempt, picked up the ball, and ran for an 80-yard touchdown. The scoreboard showed Scotlandville winning the game 3125 with no time left on the clock. But that too was not to be. As the Scotlandville fans celebrated in the stands, officials began to sort out

the yellow flags on the field. Scotlandville had committed a season-changing penalty — pushing a Central tackler from behind. The Scotlandville touchdown was invalidated, and the regulation time period had expired. The scoreboard went back to 25-25 Team captains for Central and Scotlandville met at the center of the field for another coin toss, which Scotlandville won. They chose for Central to start overtime play first.

Give Central Chance for 4th Title
Scotlandville has the ball with four chances to score. On 4th down, a pass — into the end zone... It’s broken up! No, it’s pass interference on Central! Scotlandville gets another four downs. Central needs an historic goal-line stand! And gets it!
One of the great goal-line stands in Central football history stopped Hornets
Central 28 Scotlandville 25 OT Photos by Woody Jenkins, Central City News
The Wildcats started from the 10 and had four attempts to score. Finally, on 4th down, Jonathan Thibodeaux again came through, kicking a field goal. Central led 28-25 as Scotlandville took possession. The Hornets would have four attempts to score from the 10, or that’s what everyone thought. On 4th down, Scotlandville threw a pass that was incomplete. It looked like Central had won, but
no, the officials called interference on Central. It was once again 1st down for Scotlandville. They had four more downs to try to score. To stop Scotlandville, which had been running well all night, it would take a supersized effort, and that’s what the Wildcats produced. On 4th down, the Hornets had an incomplete pass. The game was over. Central had

won! Pandemonium broke loose, as the Central fans and players went wild! Coach Dotson praised his team for never giving up all season. “These are champions!” he said. “Scotlandville had every opportunity to win it. They are a class team, but our guys simply wouldn’t give up!” he said. “This is what we mean by ‘Central fight’! It’s evident there is something special here. We worked very hard all summer and all season. After our
early defeats, these kids could have given up, but they wouldn’t do it.” Dotson praised his defense, especially Logan Metcalfe and Zach Hetrick. On offense, he mentioned Hunter Cazes. “How about that 83-yard touchdown?” he said. He spoke about Brett Courville as outstanding, Jonathan Thibodeaux for being cool under pressure, and Zach Evans for hard running. “Live Oak is a respectable team with a good offense. We can’t let them win Friday night!” “Come to Watson!” Coach Dotson said.

Central Athletes Playing College Ball Former Wildcats Makings News in College Football
CENTRAL — A host of former Central High School stars are playing at the collegiate level. Here is an update on where they and what they are doing. Belhaven University • Trey Lansing has played in eight games this season. He has nine solo tackles and two assistants. He had four tackles for losses totalling 19 yards. He had three sacks for a total of 15 yards. Louisiana College • Gregg Morris is having a good year. • Zach Pourciau is playing often. • Zack Edgens threw a touchdown pass to Morris in a recent JV game. • Daniel Hebert is seeing a lot of playing time and has appeared in eight games. He has one interception for 18 yards, 13 solo tackles, and seven assists for a total of 16.5. He has two tackles for losses totalling four yards.
Louisiana State University • Josh Johns McNeese State University • Sean Brown redshirted last year. He is now 6-1, 280, and is seeing action. • Will and Wes Briscoe. Will is out for the season with injuries. Wes is a starting wide receiver. He has 17 receptions for 380 yards for an average of 22.4 yards per reception. His longest reception was for 57 yards, and his average produc-
tion per game is 54.3 yards. He has caught one TD pass. • Matthew Thibodeaux is being redshirted for the season. • Josh Veals is sitting out this season. Mississippi College Jarrud Mayes Nicholls State University • Nick Giglio is playing on special teams. He has one assist. Shaw University, Raleigh, NC • Antonio Dunn has rushed 50
times for 137 yards and one TD. He is averaging 17.1 yard per game and 2.7 yards a carry. Southeastern Louisiana University • Taylor Jenkins is a freshman. • Jae Cutno redshirted last year. Southern Mississippi • Johdrick Morris, 6-4, 245, completed his college career and signed a free agent agreement with the Baltimore Ravens in July. He caught three passes for 28 yards as a TE in the pre-season but narrowly missed making the team. Southern University • Aaron Hall starts for the Jags. • Taylon Jones is also a starter. BRCC • Shedrick Davis is a student at BRCC and hopes to have an opportunity to play at SLU or McNeese. Several former Central High football players have continued to participate in college football as cheerleaders at their respective schools. Tyler Westbrook and Logan Gautreaux are cheering for SLU, while Wyatt Causey is cheering for University of Louisiana at Monroe. Our thanks to Coach Sid Edwards, Central schools athletic director, for assistancel.
After Central’s 2-4 start, its power rankings were far below where they needed to be to make the playoffs. However, after three straight victories, Central’s rankings have come back strong. A win over Live Oak would probably catapult the Wildcats to somewhere between 26th and 29th in the state. Regardless of that, if Central wins Friday night, it will own a share of the District Championship and automatically go to the playoffs, according to Central schools athletic director Sid Edwards. On the other hand, if the Wildcats lose Friday, there is no mathematical way they could make it to the playoffs. Ultimately, winning or tying for the District Title cures a multitude of sins when it comes to power rankings. If Central does make it to the playoffs, two things are certain: • First, because of its low ranking, Central will play one of the top five or six teams in the state. • Second, Central will play that game on their opponent’s home turf. They will have to win in the first round in order to return to Wildcat Stadium. An analysis of the top six teams in the state shows that Central stacks up much better against some than against others, Edwards said. You hope your first round opponent is weak in those areas of
the game where you are strong, he said. A very balanced team such as St. Paul’s would be the worse possible draw, Edwards said.
The popular coach said he would be happy to pick a playoff opponent or two for the Wildcats but he said “they” wouldn’t allow that.
FORMER CENTRAL HIGH FOOTBALL PLAYERS — Three former Central High School players participated in the Louisiana College-Mississippi College game on Sept. 24. Louisiana College won 52-17. Zack Edgens, Jarrud Mayes, and Gregg Morris graduated from Central High last year and were part of the teams that won three straight district championships and a total of 30 games during their high school career. Brandt Moore of Central Private also plays for Mississippi College. He is the punter.
Central Should Crack the Power-Ranking Mystery Winning District Cures a Multitude Of Power-Ranking Ills, Deficiencies
CENTRAL — After the win against Scotlandville, the Central High Wildcat football team moved up from 37th in the state to tied for 32nd in the State 5A Power Rankings. Only 32 teams will go to the state playoffs. Power rankings are based on a complicated formula under which each team gets points every time it wins or loses a game. The team gets more points when it wins than when it loses, but the number of wins throughout the season of your opponents adds to your totals, even if they beat you.
