BEING A BLACK WOMAN IN THE WORKPLACE

It’s already hard being a woman in the workplace, and being a BLACK woman in the workplace is even harder

AMANDA ARNOLD Amanda is a junior journalism major from xxxx, Ga.

Being a black woman in the workplace means constantly having to prove yourself. It means that when you apply for a job, checking the box indicating your skin color could be the reason that you don’t get the job. It means that your voice is often not heard when you advocate for change, and when you do speak your mind, you’re forever labeled as an angry black woman.

This black history month, I want to shine a light on the issues that I face as a black woman learning the ropes in the adult world at a PWI. Ever since I was a little girl, my mom told me that I would have to work twice as hard as others to get to where I want to be. I didn’t believe her. I thought that times would get better and that this

would not be something that I would have to deal with. Well, as always, mom was right.

Being a black woman in the workplace means that you are not considered for higher positions. Black women have to deal with two negatives. A woman is already considered inferior to men, but being black on top of it is a double whammy. People look past me for accomplishments that I deserve. Others will recognize my talent, but they put it in the shadows of someone obviously less qualified or capable just because.

I am one of the first female black sports editors of this newspaper. The last person of the demographic held the position in 2011. That was nine years ago, which is far too long. This could be because someone of my demographic has not applied for this position, but it also could be because the world of sports is occupied by older white men...yet the majority of athletes are black. It is not a very inviting environment for people like me. Everytime I go to cover a game, I am repeatedly asked to show my press pass.

Why is this? Because I don’t look like I belong? I was told at Paulson Stadium that I could not bring in my media supplies because I could not prove I was a part of the media, even though I had on a press pass. I had to physically google

my name to show that I am a student journalist for the school to be granted entry.

I get looked at on the sidelines of games, and at press conferences I am the only woman of color, and oftentimes, not even acknowledged .

Being a black woman working for a student newspaper at this PWI means that when I speak about something, it falls on deaf ears and ideas are often overlooked. It means that the sports section of the paper is often an afterthought, and it means that nobody cares how I devote my entire life to Georgia Southern athletics.

The only time I’m listened to is when someone else needs something. The amount of pressure applied to a black woman is not equal to others. We are subject to more scrutiny and held on a tighter leash.

Many people of color are not acknowledged for their accomplishments, and peers are often high fived for doing a fraction of what they're doing, and that is only due to the color of our skin.

Many people do not realize how they contribute to this issue. The biggest problem comes with microaggressions.

Comments like “let’s not bring race into this” or “you know a lot about sports for a woman” is a slap in the face disguised

by a cheap compliment.

If men who have never played a sport in their life can learn about a sport and become a great journalist, then so can I. I come from an athletic family and was a competitive dancer who made multiple appearances at the World Dance Championships throughout my life. I am more than qualified.

We are at a PWI, and I understand that. But, we must address that there are definitely racial divisions that not all people may be able to see. Throwing the word “diversity” into a mission statement and various job descriptions does not mean that the school is making conscious efforts to actually create opportunities for people of color.

Though I don’t believe that this issue will never be resolved, there are simple steps that you could take to combat it in a workplace environment.

Addressing your privilege and listening to concerns about equality when a conversation about it arises Allowing black women to have a voice in important decision making processes Make decisions based on qualifications regardless of gender or race The topic of addressing race and white privilege can be sticky for some.

Well, I don’t care. Not addressing the discrepancies enables more toxic behavior.

Georgia Southern’s radio station celebrates 45 years of operation Students are given the opportunity to have their voices heard at WVGS

BY ANTHONY BELINFANTE The George-Anne staff

STATESBORO — Celebrating 45 years of being on air, WVGS hopes to bring pride and independence to Georgia Southern.

WVGS 91.9 FM is GS’s studentran radio station located in Sanford Hall. The station allows students to share their ideas and have their voices heard through their own radio shows. Students talk on-air about topics they are passionate about from music to sports.

“We really encourage free speech here,” WVGS Station Manager Drake Battle said.

After getting involved with the station through a friend, Battle, once a public health major, found a passion for radio and changed his major to communication studies. Battle once believed that majoring in public health was his only way of contributing to society. He later realized that there are many ways in which a person can make an impact, his way being through the radio station.

“If you do something you’re passionate about, you can contribute any way you want to,” Battle said. “It just so happens that my passion was here.”

Bryson Murray, a senior secondary education major, has always had a passion for radio.

Now, he has the opportunity to work firsthand with the station and its hosts, as he serves as the program director at WVGS, “I enjoy the relationships we build over the course of a semester,” Murray said. “I always hope that the students get a sense of pride and independence by putting their voice out there for

Page designed by Emilie Powell

everyone in Statesboro to hear.”

Jordan Lynch, a senior journalism major with a passion for sports, started volunteering at the radio station as a freshman.

Hosting a few shows alongside his friends, Lynch became invested in the station and has since become the sports director.

Being the sports director means that Lynch is in charge of making sure there is sports-related content at the station. Along with looking over the sports division of the station, Lynch has also broadcasted football games on top of the press box for WVGS. Lynch credits the station for helping him discover the field he wants to go into, after originally only wanting to do sports journalism. Now, Lynch wants to take on sports radio.

“I’ve probably been doing this for about four years now, and it kind of really helped me realize that it’s what I want to do.”

Lynch said.

According to Battle, before Sanford Hall was the official home for WVGS, it was a small and illegal radio station that was first established in a student’s dorm room in that very building back in 1974.

After being temporarily shut down by the University, it was revived two years later. The station found temporary homes around campus before it settled in its original building. WVGS has been an outlet for student voices ever since. The station encourages student involvement, and allows those of all majors to join.

WVGS is actively accepting applications from students, and you can find more information on cah.georgiasouthern.edu/ commarts/majors/mmc/wvgs

“What’s worse than burning books?”

Student group advertises with controversial signs Georgia Southern University professors on teaching writers with controversial pasts

KRISTEN BALLARD/staff

Christian Scott and Trevor Wright hold a sign above their main table display. Their group meets Wednesday evening at the Russell Union.

BY BLAKELEY BARTEE AND ABBY FULLER The George-Anne staff

A group called the Intercollegiate Studies Institute advertised their new chapter at the Russell Union Rotunda Tuesday with signs that read, “What’s worse than burning books?” and “If college is preparing us for a career, then what’s preparing us for life?”

The group displayed signs with photos of Martin Luther King Jr., Karl Marx, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Ronald Raegan, Muhammed and other figures with labels such as “racist,” “homophobe,” “sexist” and other words written around them.

The Intercollegiate Studies Institute, described by Inside Higher Ed as a group that promotes conservative and libertarian thinking, is a national organization, and the group at the Rotunda aims to establish a chapter at Georgia Southern University.

One of the group officials was Trevor Wright. Wright, a GS alumnus who teaches high school English at Trinity Christian School in Statesboro, said he is pursuing a graduate degree.

Wright said the display was a “great way to grab college students’ attention.”

“Much of what we’re doing, we do not support. We think this is a very hyperbolic exaggeration of what some people in culture, how they view history,” Wright said.

The group distributed flyers that posed this question: “What is worse: A college student burning a few copies of a novel, or a professor convincing hundreds of students the foundational literature of civilization isn’t worth reading?”

“I think there are some professors, not just here, but around all of America, and they support not reading any works

by Thomas Jefferson or Karl Marx or George Washington, and while they’re not burning books, they’re convincing thousands of students not to read history, not to read political philosophy, and that’s kind of the message we’re trying to raise,” Wright said.

Three professors from the literature, philosophy and political science departments, however, said they do not avoid teaching works by historical figures with controversial histories.

Caren Town, Ph.D., is a literature professor who wrote a book on censorship in 2014. She said she teaches works by writers who have controversial histories, and she said it is necessary to teach books that make people uncomfortable.

“It’s frustrating to us to hear that, because we think, we don’t know where you're getting that sense that books are being kept from you, because that’s the last thing we’re doing,” Town said.

Town listed Flannery O’Connor and Ezra Pound as writers whose works she includes in her coursework despite any controversial beliefs they held.

Town expressed concerns about “cancel culture,” the phenomenon of scrutinizing works or people on social media, but said neither she nor her department censors books.

“I sympathize in a way with what he’s saying, but I think as far as how it happens on campus, it’s not a concern,” Towne said.

In the Department of Philosophy, Elizabeth Butterfield, Ph.D., is an associate professor who said she teaches philosophies that are interesting, historically important or influential, including ones belonging to controversial figures.

Butterfield said she teaches the philosophies of Martin Heidegger, a German 20th-century thinker who supported the Nazis. She explained that she deals with this by having a conversation with her students about what it means to teach Heidegger’s philosophy while knowing he was a Nazi supporter.

“We don’t avoid it. We actually make it part of the topic,” Butterfield said.

Aristotle is another figure Butterfield teaches in her courses. She said her classes talk about which parts of his philosophy are worth learning, even though the philosopher lived in a time where it was normal to believe men had more potential than women, and Greeks than non-Greeks.

“Whenever we’re teaching someone from history, we might find that they have different political views or understanding of diversity than we do today because times change, and so the important thing to do is to provide a context for having those conversations,” Butterfield said.

Joshua Kennedy, Ph.D., assistant political science professor, said he has

taught the writing of Karl Marx, one of the figures portrayed in the group’s posters, in his courses.

Kennedy said he hasn’t shied away from teaching about figures who have controversial pasts when they are relevant to his course material.

In his courses, Kennedy said he allows students to drive the discussion, so they could talk about the figures’ pasts if they would like. However, he said this topic has not come up in student discussions.

“It is one of the benefits of being a professor, being able to talk about controversial figures and controversial subjects and to challenge students to think about those kinds of things. I think it’s an important part of the job,” Kennedy said.

The Intercollegiate Studies Institute

At the Rotunda, Wright said the group was advocating for “a more nuanced approach to history” that avoids condemning people, such as slave-owner Thomas Jefferson, with 21st century standards.

“We think that’s unfair. Thomas Jefferson couldn’t just walk to Walmart like we could to buy his groceries. We have the luxury of living in a much more technological world,” Wright said.

Founded in the 1950s, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute states on their website that they “teach foundational principles that are rarely taught in the classroom— the core ideas behind the free market, the American Founding and Western civilization.”

The organization lists on their website alumni including Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito, a cofounder of PayPal and other figures, and claims colleges leave students feeling “isolated and even threatened if they question progressive orthodoxy.”

The GS chapter is advertised with the slogan, “Think well. Live well.” Wright said he is working with the organization due to his love of learning.

Kendra Kittinger, assistant director for the Office of Student Activities, said the group is in the process of becoming an organization at GS. Town said, “Bottom line, we don’t shy away from controversy. I have certain writers that I don’t particularly like and may make me a little squeamish when I start to look into their background, like Ezra Pound, for example, who’s a fascist.

That’s kind of unnerving, but I would never say I’m not teaching this because of the personal beliefs of the author.”

GS Department of Music’s On The Verge series presents The Domino Ensemble

BY SAVANNAH KING The George-Anne Reflector staff

Music filled the air as drumsticks crashed onto the cymbals and each string on the bass was strummed swiftly to melt into the soprano saxophone as each instrument crescendoed. This trio of instruments took the audience on a journey from “Polish Vodka,” all the way to “Drunken Raccoon.”

This journey was led by the Domino Ensemble.

GS Department of Music’s On The Verge Series for new music presented The Domino Ensemble Wednesday night at the Carol A. Carter Recital Hall. The Ensemble was able to grace the audience with music from their newest album “Drunken Raccoon.”

The Knoxville-based ensemble is comprised of Hunter Deacon on the drum set; Rob Linton playing double bass; and Jorge Variego on clarinet and soprano saxophone. Variego also acts as the trio’s composer.

The trio played music from their newest album “Drunken Raccoon,” which contained a bluesy and contemporary feel to each song.

They began with the “Polish Vodka” leading into “Tango Blues,” followed by “The March,” “Glove Assault” and “Tango Fugue alla Braxton” and finally concluding with their title piece “Drunken Raccoon.”

Variego said the inspiration behind the uncanny title, “Drunken Raccoon,” was thanks to his neighborhood watch group, who said they witnessed a raccoon break into someone’s trash and drink that person’s trashed alcohol. This led to others in the neighborhood witnessing a drunken raccoon.

The Domino Ensemble’s music was not the only music presented Wednesday night. Two composition student compositions were chosen to be debuted at the concert by The Domino Ensemble. Francisco Corthey’s piece, “Inmersiones,” was premiered, as well as Alex Ferré’s piece “What sixe genre do you wear?”

Ferré described the experience in hearing his song for the first time as weird because they “work with synthesizers a majority of the time, so it’s strange to hear it on actual instruments, but hearing something you made out of nothing be performed is just a great feeling.”

Variego said performing that night was very meaningful to him as it was his second time performing at GS since his first appearance at one of the first editions of the On The Verge Series in 2013.

Since 2012, the Georgia Southern Department of Music has been presenting the On The Verge Series to introduce students and faculty to new music from across the country and abroad.

Georgia Southern debuts new kinesiology laboratories in Hanner Fieldhouse

BY BLAKELEY BARTEE The George-Anne staff

Georgia Southern University officials cut the ribbon Friday on new kinesiology laboratories located in a former pool space in Hanner Fieldhouse.

The new laboratories include two biomechanics labs, a motor control lab and a human performance lab, and they are available for both undergraduate and graduate students, according to a GS press release.

Area physicians can also use the facility’s patient consulting rooms for their patients, according to the press release.

Renovating the 11,000 square foot space was funded through the state of Georgia and cost $5 million, according to the press release, with design and construction completed by civil engineering and architectural firm Hussey, Gay and Bell and general contractor Sheridan Construction respectively.

The press release states that students will be able to work alongside faculty in the following areas: Biomechanics laboratories • Concussion recovery • Monitoring athletes at risk for concussion

• Gait research • Monitoring changes in gait over long-distance runs • Monitoring the effects of different athletic shoe types on gait mechanics Human performance laboratory • Tactical assessments on firefighters and law enforcement • Working with players on the South Georgia Tormenta FC soccer team Motor control laboratory • Working with cerebral palsy patients to help combat the painful symptom of spasticity • Provide training programs for cerebral palsy patients to improve their strength and quality of life The new kinesiology facility is the only facility of its kind in the region, according to the press release.

“The technology available to students in this newly renovated space is second to none in the region, but more importantly, the research being done here is having a significant impact on the field of kinesiology, and on real, everyday people,” GS President Kyle Marrero said in the press release. “This building will expand the facilities and capabilities of Georgia Southern, but it will also expand the firsthand experience of our students.”

Georgia Senate adds new restriction on distribution of vape products

Performing Arts Center to show 1970s rock musical “Godspell”

BY DAVIS COBB The George-Anne staff

STATESBORO — The famed 1970s rock musical “Godspell” will be taking the stage at Georgia Southern University’s Performing Arts Center starting Feb. 27 as part of the 20192020 Main Stage series.

The series is hosted by GS’s Theater and Performance program.

The show, which was composed in 1971 by three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner Stephen Schwartz, has been on tour around the country several times since it’s inception and has become a staple in musical theater for several churches and schools.

“The magic of this show is the community it creates not just with the cast but with the audience as well.” Lisa Abbot, the director of “Godspell” said. “The message of the show is about acceptance and love and the cast and crew have Page designed by Madison Terry

enjoyed creating ways to tell that story with open hearts and open minds.”

A tale of a group of people helping Jesus retell the parables of the Book of Matthew in a modern setting, “Godspell” was revisited in 2011, updating it for the 21st century with a new tone and a new song.

The new piece, “Beautiful City”, will join the musical’s already extensive score, which features a variety of genres ranging from vaudeville to pop.

“Godspell” will play at the PAC starting on Feb. 27 to Feb. 29 at 7:30 p.m. and will be shown on March 1 at 2 p.m. Tickets are on sale now at $20 for adults and $10 for children under 17. Discounts are available for GSU student and faculty, and group rates are also available for groups of more than ten.

Tickets may be purchased online here, over the phone at 912-478-7999, or at the Box Office Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

ASHTON CHRISTIANSON/staff A Smokin’ Place is a shop in Statesboro that will be affected by the new restriction on vape products in Georgia.

BY ASHTON CHRISTIANSON The George-Anne staff

STATESBORO — A Georgia Senate bill adds restrictions on who may sell vape products that use tobacco.

Businesses wishing to sell these products would have to require a license like you would for any other tobacco product. This will limit the people who can sell these products and how citizens can buy them, according to Georgia’s Bill 298.

Currently anyone can sell vape products because they are nicotine products and are not covered under laws regarding tobacco products sale.

Carmen Marsy, owner of A Smokin’ Place in Statesboro, was expecting the state to put a regulation on vape products.

About 40% of A Smokin’ Place’s overall

sales come from vape products, Marsy said.

“I’m not going to necessarily say that it would be negative for the business,” Marsy said. “There is definitely going to be more fees you’re going to have to pay... for the licenses.”

She also said that if there is a license that is similar to the tobacco licenses they are required to get to sell these products.

These licenses may increase the prices of their products for customers.

“If they are making this have a license as well, I’m assuming that means there going to want to tax it like they do tobacco which would in a way would impact the prices, because the prices would have to include whatever that tax it is that they are going to implement upon the business,” Marsy said.

City Council approves addiction recovery residence zoning amid disapproval from neighbors The property will house up to six women recovering from addiction along with a live-in staff member.

BY BLAKELEY BARTEE The George-Anne staff

The Statesboro City Council approved a request to allow the use of a house near downtown Statesboro for a women’s addiction recovery residence at their Tuesday meeting.

Addiction counselor Paula Becker requested the city allow her to run the residence at 109 Broad St., which required a conditional use variance from the zoning ordinance in that area.

The ordinance allows singlefamily living units, but the addiction recovery residence will house up to six women sharing two bedrooms in addition to a female live-in staff member, who will have her own bedroom.

Becker said the 109 Broad St. property is optimal for the recovery residence, adding that the women would live under strict rules during their yearlong stay, including a curfew and working a job.

“With the disease of addiction, it takes almost a year for the brain to heal. I would like to provide a place for women … a place where they can come and start to rebuild the lives that they’ve probably burned to the

ground,” Becker said.

Other rules Becker listed for the recovery residents include no contacting males, slowly earning car privileges, attending addiction meetings and taking care of themselves and the house. She said the residents would be permitted to say hello to their neighbors, but would not be allowed to engage in social situations like visiting neighbors’ homes for coffee.

Council Member John Riggs had the sole vote against the motion. Riggs, who works in real estate, said he had appraised the house. He took issue with having several people living in a home with a driveway a few feet away from the next door neighbors.

“Six women, six people living in that house is going to make a lot of noise. Both of these are really small lots, and the houses are right next to each other. Just for that reason alone, I had to deny it,” Riggs said after the meeting.

Residents’ concerns A next door neighbor, David Posner, spoke on behalf of himself and his wife, Barbara Posner, before the council’s

vote. They live in the house located a few feet away from the future addiction recovery residence’s driveway.

Posner said he was against Becker’s request, citing concerns about property values, noise level and the “character, spirit and quality” of the neighborhood.

Cathy Skidmore-Hess, another Broad Street homeowner who lives close to the house at 109, opposed the request. She said she sympathized with the desire to house women in recovery from addiction, but was concerned about housing them in her neighborhood.

“I have three teenage boys.

Two of them have autism and are very impressionable. This concerns me. I’m not saying that these women necessarily will be a problem, but I think that … having these changes could be a problem if we have an increasing number of halfway houses in the neighborhood,” Skidmore-Hess said.

Pete Williams lives in a house two doors down from 109 Broad St. He spoke for roughly eleven minutes in opposition to the request, mentioning concerns about being able to

Sexual Assault Awareness Week

BY OLIVIA CRAFT

The George-Anne staff

Sexual Assault Awareness Week is from Feb. 24 to Feb. 28 on the Georgia Southern University Statesboro campus.

This event has been taking place for almost 20 years on the Statesboro Campus.

Lauren Patterson, chair of the GS Sexual Assault Response team, said that this is a full five days of events working to bring

awareness and education to the topic of sexual assault. This is also a week centered on making students, faculty, and staff feel less alone when dealing with sexual assault.

There will be lessons on bystander intervention, consent and healthy relationships. There will also be a self defense course for all who identify as female.

Survivor Love Letters Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Russell Union Commons, you can participate in Survivor Love Letters. This is where people can go and write letters of encouragement and letters about their personal experiences. The letters will be displayed in the Russell Union.

Take Back the Night March & End the Violence Rally Thursday will consist of a march and rally for anyone who is interested in activism. The Take Back the Night March will begin at 7 p.m. Patterson also said that they will be handing out long sleeve tee shirts, and that they are first come, first serve. The rally will be held after the march. At the rally, there will be a candlelight vigil as well as an open mic opportunity where survivors can tell their stories and and their voices can be heard.

Healthy Relationships Health Hut On Monday, there will also be a healthy relationships event held at the library from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.. Here, you can go and ask wellness ambassadors about healthy relationships and make sure that the relationship you are in is healthy.

We have multiple messages that we hope students will understand. We hope that they understand the impact that sexual violence can have on people and how many people are affected. We also hope that they will learn what they can do to reduce incident rates through knowing what healthy relationships look like, knowing what it means to give and get consent, and knowing good bystander intervention strategies.

socialize with his neighbors, the safety of his 8-year-old son, limited parking spaces and possible crime.

Two other Statesboro residents, Glenn Haynes and Georgia’s Bed and Breakfast owner Helen Cannon, also voiced opposition to the motion.

Seats vacated Several seats were vacated after the City Council voted to approve Paula Becker’s zoning request for the women’s addiction recovery residence despite opposition from Broad Street residents.

Photo by Blakeley Bartee Becker addressed the residents’ concerns prior to the council vote.

Becker said the women cannot use drugs or alcohol and continue to live in the house.

The women are allowed to smoke, but only in the backyard, she said.

“As far as crime, we’re talking about seven women. I don’t foresee them breaking down doors. I can’t guarantee that they’re not going to do something bad — I can’t guarantee my own daughter isn’t going to do something bad,” Becker said. “All I can do

The Clothesline Project The Clothesline Project will be taking place Monday through Friday.

Patterson said that this is a national campaign that the campus takes part in every year.

This event consists of going to where they are tabled throughout campus and getting the shirt that coincides with what you have been through or the color that resonates the most with you, and you can write or draw on them. The shirts will be hung through the course of the week in various locations around campus including in the RAC, in Russell Union on the stage, and in the library. They keep all of the shirts that they acquire throughout the years and those are hung over the pedestrium.

The colors for the shirts are: Pink: Sexual Assault Blue: Childhood Sexual Abuse Purple: Violence due to sexual orientation Rape Aggression Defense Course (RAD) Sexual Assault Awareness Week will also include free RAD self defense classes for GS students, faculty and staff who identify as women. It is a twelve hour course that will be taught on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and participants are required to attend at least the first two days.

Health Services Next Steps Booth On Wednesday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., there will be a booth set up at the Rotunda where you can go learn about ways to reduce the incidence of sexual assault and about bystander intervention.

is model the behavior for them, tell them what the rules are and expect them to follow it if they want a roof over their head.”

For parking, Becker said the house has a two-car carport in the back in addition to the driveway. Becker said she was also open to negotiating other parking accommodations with a nearby apartment complex.

The residents will have to pay a rent less than $1,000 to pay for room and board, Becker said.

The City Council vote Prior to the vote, Council Member Shari Barr said she empathized with both Becker and the opposing residents and moved to approve Becker’s application with conditions.

The conditions included avoiding excessive parking, no posting signage and obtaining a Georgia Association of Recovery Residences certification.

The council voted to approve the application with the conditions, with one opposing vote from Riggs.

Riggs said his vote had “nothing to do with stigma of addiction and recovery,” but was due to the number of people set to live at the house.

Yellow: Survivor of physical assault or domestic violence White: in memory of a murdered victim “It’s pretty incredible to look up … and see all of the pink T-shirts and know that every single one of those shirts is another person that has somehow been impacted by sexual assault,” said Patterson

Restorative Retreat Patterson said that because they realize that this week can be a bit overwhelming for victims of sexual assault, they also have a “restorative retreat” occurring on Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. This restorative event will include meditation, yoga and meditative art work.

Patterson said that she encourages everyone to participate in Sexual Assault Awareness Week because it is a learning opportunity.

AALIYAH GARCIA

A quick conversation before a flight to Japan brings star Texas pitcher to Statesboro

THE RUN DOWN WEEKEND OF FEB. 13

BY MITCH SMITH

The George-Anne staff

Here’s what you missed this weekend in Georgia Southern Athletics.

Men’s Basketball

The men’s basketball team grabbed a win over Coastal Carolina, 79-69, this past Thursday. GS forced 17 turnovers and the Chanticleers went 0-14 from the 3-point range. They also played this past Saturday against Appalachian State. The Eagles were tied at 54 but slipped to 67-62, losing the lead in the final minutes.

What’s next?

The men’s basketball team will travel to Texas State on Thursday where they will play at 8 p.m. and UTA Saturday at 3 p.m. Both games can be viewed on ESPN+.

Women’s Basketball

TLAYTON HARRELL/staff

Aaliyah Garcia gears up for a pitch at Eagle Field for her first collegiate tournament. She is a Texas native and had a highly decorated high school pitching career.

BY AMANDA ARNOLD The George-Anne staff

When Aaliyah Garcia first met Head Coach Kim Dean from the Georgia Southern softball team, she had just wrapped up playing in a travel ball tournament and was on the way to Japan. She was traveling with the professional team that was connected to her travel team, and didn’t really have time to think about anything else. Her main focus was packing. Not Statesboro.

She described Japan as one of the best experiences of her life, though she couldn’t keep Coach Dean out of her head.

This quick exchange of words in the hot Missouri sun would be the stepping stone between the Texas native and the next chapter of her athletic career, though she had no idea at the time.

Garcia is more than just a pitcher and she knows that.

She’s a state champion who left her alma mater with a perfect 4.0 GPA, a school-record and three Pitcher of the Year awards to her name. Surprisingly, she does not even think about her previous accomplishments and wanted to start fresh in the NCAA. “That was just high school,” Garcia said. “This is a bigger platform[...]I hadn’t even thought of that until you said something about it, but I know

what I can do and I just want to prove it to my teammates.”

In order to understand who Garcia is, nicknamed AG on the team, you have to go back to her roots.

She began playing t-ball at the age of four and has been surrounded by athletes her entire life. She is one of five children, and almost everyone in the house played sports.

At eight years old, she picked up pitching because her dad kept nudging her to do it. She credits her father for her entire softball career and doesn’t know what she would do without him.

“Everybody at that age learns how to pitch,” she said.

“I was like ‘Okay Dad, lets get lessons.’ So I just kind of jumped into it and my dad was like ‘I knew you were gonna want to sooner or later.’ It was really a lot of him.”

She was a tri-sport athlete at Angleton High School, also competing in varsity basketball and volleyball, though softball was always her first love. She played the other sports because she wanted to fill her time during the softball off-season, but admits that it took a toll on her body.

“Senior year, we all just wanted to have a good time,” Garcia said. “We ended up winning state but it was a tough year. I had a lot of

problems with my arm and my back. It was a lot trying to keep my body well[...]Here I’m always going to the trainer to make sure I’m right because I don’t wanna have to be on edge all the time like I was in high school.”

AG was originally committed to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi very early on in her high school career, but eventually opened up her recruiting options again. She committed to GS in the fall of her senior campaign after visiting the campus and immediately loved the small town feel, since it reminded her of home.

When she got here, she was met with open arms into a rebuilding program led by a new coaching staff. The team has gotten off to an 8-2 start and AG has already pitched for about 25 innings in the stretch, while striking out 18.

“I was really anxious coming in,” Garcia said. “I was trying to prove myself and some of my teammates just told me it takes time and to be who you are and let your talents show.”

When she gets on the mound to pitch, she forces her mind to go blank and she never looks at the batter. This technique may seem odd to some, but she doesn’t know any other way.

With Garcia’s help, GS is currently ranked No. 1 in ERA at the Division I level.

The women’s basketball team beat ULM on Thursday. The Warhawks led by a point with about five minutes left but the Eagles were able to clutch the lead. The women’s team also played on Saturday against UL, but they could not continue this newfound winning streak.

GS fell 72-60 and Tatum Barber tallied 15 for the day.

What’s next?

The women’s basketball team will return to Hanner Fieldhouse on Thursday where they will play Coastal Carolina at 6:30 p.m.

Softball

The softball team had a busy week at Orlando’s Disney/ ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. They pulled off four wins and one loss in the Citrus Classic. The team played two games on Friday, beating Saint Joseph’s 5-1 and suffering their only loss of the week to Lehigh, 0-1. The next day of the tournament, they defeated Bethune-Cookman, 5-1, and Charleston Southern, 4-0. The final day, they wrapped up with a 9-4 win against Charleston Southern.

What’s next?

The softball team will have two games on Friday, one at 4:30 against Evansville and the other at 7 p.m. against Monmouth.

Baseball

The baseball team opened their season up with a 6-0 shutout on Friday night against Ball State. The teams faced off again the next day, but this time in a double header. The first game ended 7-4 with the Eagles winning. The second half of the double header opened with an explosion, where the Eagles managed a 15-run first inning resulting in a 16-0 final.

Men’s Golf

The men’s golf team traveled to Gainesville this past weekend for the Gator invite. The team finished with an even-par 280 (the second lowest of the day) which earned them 7th place overall.

What’s next?

The men’s golf team will play again in the Colleton River Collegiate in Beaufort, S.C., March 2-3.

Men’s Tennis

The men’s tennis team traveled to Bethune-Cookman on Saturday where they won 4-2. The team took one last trip of the day to Stetson where they met their first loss of the week, 5-2.

What’s next?

The Eagles will match off against Bryant on Saturday and then East Carolina on Sunday in Greenville, North Carolina.

T&F/Cross Country

The team traveled to Samford for its final indoor regular season meet. In sprints,Hubbard placed fifth in the finals, Williams placed seventh, and Zaini at 21st. For middle/hurdles, Williams and Zaini finished seventh and 14th. In distance, Nagwandala broke her own Georgia Southern 300m record with a time of 9:54.96 and also earned 3rd place out of 28. In the long jump, Lynch placed 24th with a leap of 17-1 ½.

Nagwandala placed second, Braman in eighth, and Harris in tenth in the 5000m hosted the following day.

What’s next?

The team will travel back to Birmingham Crossplex next week for the Sun Belt Conference Championship.

AJ HENDERSON/staff

The Georgia Southern baseball team went undefeated during opening weekend. The team will take on No. 19 Georgia Tech on Tuesday.

2-20-20

Baseball has historic opening weekend, but barely drops to No.19 Georgia Tech five innings, allowed three hits, no runs, walked two batters and had nine strikeouts.

He faced 19 batters all game and managed to keep his cool after giving up a triple with one out to Ball State. He responded by striking out the next two batters to send it to the bottom of the inning.

“I thought Jordan was terrific tonight. He looked really in control and you know especially for his first outing,” Head Coach Rodney Hennon said. “He got us off to a great start. Did a nice job pitching out of that situation there in the second inning when he gave up the one out triple.”

The game was fairly close until the fourth inning when Mitchell Golden singled up the middle and then Matt Anderson doubled to left field which put runners on second and third with two outs.

Golden then scored the first Eagles run of the game after a wild pitch by Ball State.

The Eagles then exploded in the eighth inning, extended their lead with two big hits

by Jason Swan and freshman Jarrett Brown.

Swan doubled to center field and cleared a bases loaded situation which allowed Golden, Mason McWhorter and Parker Biederer all to score runs.

After Anderson struck out, Brown stepped up for his third at bat where he secured not

HISTORIC WEEKEND The Georgia Southern baseball team shutout Ball State 6-0 in the season opener

at J.I. Clements Stadium.

This was the Eagles first shut-out on opening day since 2015, where they held BethunCookman scoreless.

Jordan Jackson, a junior RH pitcher, made his Eagle debut against Ball State. He pitched

only his first hit at the collegiate level but also a home run which extended the Eagles lead to 6-0.

“Jason delivered there with the bases loaded that kind of broke it open a little bit,” Hennon said. “You get to see Jarrett Brown play the way he did tonight, for the first collegiate hit to be a home run, you know it must’ve been pretty special to him.”

THE ALMOST UPSET On Tuesday, The Eagles led 3-2 going into the ninth inning with closing pitcher Hayden Harris having replaced Jacob Parker in the eighth inning against Georgia Tech.

But, the Eagles weren’t able to close out the game as Georgia Tech scored two runs at the top of the ninth inning to take the 4-3 lead. The Eagles then had two strikeouts and a fly out in the bottom of the ninth to end the game.

GS had a chance to extend their 3-2 lead in the eighth inning but weren’t able to drive any runs in after freshman Jarrett Brown struck out swinging with bases loaded and two outs.

“We’ve got to finish games off and we didn’t do a good job tonight,” Head Coach Rodney Hennon said. “We had an opportunity in the bottom of the eighth to extend the lead, you know with first and third there and didn’t get it done.

Obviously tough conditions tonight, we lost a ball in the lights but again, if we want to be a championship baseball team those are plays that you got to make.”

Closing pitcher Hayden Harris was eventually pulled in the top of the ninth after giving up the two runs that gave Georgia Tech the lead for sophomore pitcher Jay Thompson who ended up getting the strikeout to send it to the middle of the ninth.

“Hayden’s our go to guy in the ninth inning and you know sometimes you just can’t finish games,” right fielder Mason McWhorter said. “This is baseball, you’re going to lose games. Just gotta come back stronger on Friday for East Carolina.”

The Yellow Jackets would score first in the first inning with one run, before Georgia Southern scored two runs in the third inning to take the 2-1 lead. It was Mason McWhorter who drove in the RBI for the Eagles first run.

Steven Curry finished the evening 1-3, scoring two runs and walking two times. Noah Searcy went 2-4 with both hits being doubles.

The Eagles would then score a run in the fifth inning with Georgia Tech scoring one run in the sixth to make it a 3-2 game.

GS falls to 3-1 on the season with the loss, while Georgia Tech improves to 3-1.
