Jury: Fatal shooting suspect not guilty

BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com Court began Thursday with Nicholas Temoney’s defense team resting its case without calling a single witness. The day ended with its client successfully acquitted of murder.

The 21-year-old man was found not guilty on all counts after jurors deliberated at the Sumter County Judicial Center for a little more than an hour, ending a three-day trial and a legal drama that began when two men were shot and one died after a reported home invasion.

Temoney faced decades in prison if he were convicted of the murder of Candido Diaz and the lesser charges of attempted murder, burglary and armed robbery.

Jurors were unconvinced by the prosecution’s case that Temoney broke into Diaz’s home on Eagle Road the night of Aug. 19, 2012, and shot Diaz and his son in the course of an attempted robbery.

After the verdict was read, Temoney put his head in his hands at the defense table and then exchanged jubilant hugs with family members

Director James “Jimmy” Mills takes members of the Sumter Community Concert Band through a practice. The band practices at 7 p.m. Thursdays in the Patriot Hall band room. The band opens its 2013-14 season Sunday at Patriot Hall.

Concert band opens with ‘Star-Spangled’ music

BY IVY MOORE ivym@theitem.com The Sumter Community Concert Band invites the public to end the weekend and celebrate the season with its fall concert at Patriot Hall at 7 p.m. Sunday.

“It’s our first concert of our new season,” said band spokesman Rick Mitchum, “and we have a program that’s got some familiar tunes and a few new pieces I think people will really like.”

Conductor James H. “Jimmy” Mills will lead the band in the “Star-Spangled Banner,” which starts all of the band’s concerts, and then continue the patriotic theme with a medley of songs by George M. Cohan. “The Star-Spangled Spectacular” will include such tunes as “Give My Regards to Broadway,” “Yankee Doodle Dandy” and “You’re a Grand Old Flag.”

Mitchum, who plays trumpet in the band, said his favorite piece in Sunday’s concert is the “Sound of Music” medley.

“It’s the music of Richard Rodgers from the Rodgers and Hammerstein

musical,” he said, “and we’re playing an arrangement by Robert Russell Bennett,” who was a celebrated Broadway arranger.

The title song and several others, among the most famous and most familiar from classic Broadway musicals, should be instantly recognizable. “The Lonely Goatherd,” “Do Re Mi,” “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” and “Edelweiss” are just a few of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “greatest hits” in the medley.

New pieces include Jay Bocock’s “Aztec Fire” and Richard Saucedo’s “Temecula Valley Fanfare,” a “quick, fast-paced” piece.

Mitchum noted that the band almost always plays a march by John Philip Sousa; on Sunday, the selection will be “El Capitan.”

South Carolina’s most famous jazz musician, Dizzy Gillespie, will be saluted with a performance of his big hit, “A Night in Tunisia.”

“That will feature our saxophone section,” Mitchum said. “They’re really outstanding, and this is some nice jazz.”

Kay Rasmussen is featured on mallets in Norman Leyden’s “Serenade for a Picket Fence,” and “Let Us Rejoice” by Bill Locklear will start with a fanfare and continue with variations on the hymn “All Creatures of Our God and King.”

The Sumter Community Concert Band comprises adult musicians from the area who have experience playing with high school and/or college bands. Mitchum said the approximately 40-member band welcomes new members.

“We practice at 7 p.m. Thursdays at Patriot Hall,” he said, “so next Thursday (Oct. 24) would be a great time for anyone interested in joining us to come check us out. We still need clarinets, percussion and other instruments.” The band can provide some of the larger instruments.

Admission to Sunday’s concert is free to the public. Voluntary contributions to help with the purchase of sheet music can be placed in locked boxes in the lobby of Patriot Hall. For more information about the band, call Mitchum at (803) 775-9265.

Redskins and reason

W

ASHINGTON — In the matter of the (Washington)

Redskins.

I don’t like being lectured by sportscasters about ethnic sensitivity. Or advised by the president of the United States about changing team names. Or blackmailed by tribal leaders playing the race card.

I don’t like the language police ensuring that no one anywhere gives offense to anyone about anything.

And I fully credit the claim of Redskins owner Dan Snyder and many passionate fans that they intend no malice or prejudice and that Charles “Redskins” has a proud KRAUTHAMMER 80-year history they wish to maintain.

The fact is, however, that words don’t stand still. They evolve.

Fifty years ago the preferred, most respectful term for blacks was Negro. The word appears 15 times in Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech. Negro replaced a long list of insulting words in common use during decades of public and legal discrimination.

And then, for complicated historical reasons (having to do with the black power and “black is beautiful” movements), usage changed. The preferred term is now black or African-American. With a rare few legacy exceptions, Negro carries an unmistakably patronizing and demeaning tone.

If you were detailing the ethnic composition of Congress, you wouldn’t say: “Well, to start with, there are 44 Negroes.” If you’d been asleep for 50 years, you might. But upon being informed how the word had changed in nuance, you would stop using it and choose another.

And here’s the key point: You would stop not because of the language police. Not because you might incur a Bob Costas harangue. Not because the president would wag a finger. But simply because the word was tainted, freighted with negative connotations with which you would not want to be associated.

Proof? You wouldn’t even use the word in private, where being harassed for political incorrectness is not an issue.

Similarly, regarding the further ethnic breakdown of Congress, you wouldn’t say: “And by my count, there are two redskins.” It’s inconceivable, because no matter how the word was used 80 years ago, it carries invidious connotations today.

I know there are surveys that say that most Native Americans aren’t bothered by the word. But that’s not the point. My

objection is not rooted in pressure from various minorities or fear of public polls or public scolds.

Growing up, I thought “gyp” was simply a synonym for “cheat” and used it accordingly. It was only when I was an adult that I learned that gyp was short for gypsy. At which point, I stopped using it.

Not because I took a poll of Roma to find out if they were offended. If some mysterious disease had carried away every gypsy on the planet, and there were none left to offend, I still wouldn’t use it.

Why? Simple decency. I wouldn’t want to use a word that defines a people — living or dead, offended or not — in a most demeaning way. It’s not a question of who or how many had their feelings hurt, but whether you want to associate yourself with a word that, for whatever historical reason having nothing to do with you, carries inherently derogatory connotations.

Years ago, the word “retarded” emerged as the enlightened substitute for such cruel terms as “feebleminded” or “mongoloid.”

Today, however, it is considered a form of denigration, having been replaced by the clumsy but now conventional “developmentally disabled.” There is no particular logic to this evolution.

But it’s a social fact. Unless you’re looking to give gratuitous offense, you don’t call someone “retarded.”

Let’s recognize that there are many people of good will for whom “Washington Redskins” contains sentimental and historical attachment — and not an ounce of intended animus.

So let’s turn down the temperature. What’s at issue is not high principle but adaptation to a change in linguistic nuance. A close call, though I personally would err on the side of not using the word if others are available.

How about Skins, a contraction already applied to the Washington football team? And that carries a sports connotation, as in skins vs. shirts in pickup basketball.

Choose whatever name you like. But let’s go easy on the other side. We’re not talking Brown v. Board of Education here. There’s no demand that Native Americans man the team’s offensive line. This is a matter of usage — and usage changes. If you shot a remake of 1934’s “The Gay Divorcee,” you’d have to change that title too.

Not because the lady changed, but because the word did.

Hail Skins.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Recent editorials from South Carolina newspapers: OCT. 10

The Herald of Rock Hill on Gov. Haley reimbursing the state: Gov. Nikki Haley has had so many close calls with ethics violations, we would think she would scrupulously avoid any behavior that might even faintly suggest misuse of the public purse.

But she continues to live on the edge, the latest example being the conflict over her use of state vehicles and security officers for a campaign-related trip to North Carolina. She might have avoided the scuffle by simply reimbursing the state the cost of the trip, but instead the matter was sent to the State Ethics Commission for consideration.

And even an apparent exoneration from Ethics Director Herb Hayden didn’t stop the complaints. So, in the end, she ponied up money to cover the expenses for the trip — which is what she should have done in June when the trip occurred.

The reimbursement issue arose after the State Law Enforcement Division confirmed in late August that Haley was in Greensboro, N.C., on June 27 when an agent driving her in a state vehicle crashed into a concrete pole in the road. No one in the car was injured, but the crash brought attention to the fact that Haley had been in Greensboro to attend the first of a two-day fundraiser for Renew North Carolina Foundation, which supports fellow Republican N.C. Gov. Pat McCrorry.

In July, Haley’s campaign reimbursed three state agencies a total of $7,610 for her security agents’ extra costs during out-of-state fundraisers in the fiscal year that ended June 30. But that didn’t include any money for the Greensboro trip that occurred during that period.

Why? Because, according to Haley, it wasn’t a fundraiser for her. ...

State law requires a security detail for the governor.

But it also bars taxpayer funds or public equipment from being used for campaign events.

While the speaking engagement in Greensboro might not have been specifically designed as a Haley campaign event, she clearly benefited financially from it.

And she used her status as governor to do so.

This week, Haley ended the dispute with an agreement to reimburse the state.

The agreement comes six weeks after news reports surfaced about the trip.

The obvious question is why, as someone who is supposedly politically savvy, did she wait until this incident threatened to erupt into a scandal rather than voluntarily reimbursing the state back in June?

a nonstarter. The argument has been framed around how an increase would put an added burden on families and small businesses. ...

A recent analysis by the S.C. Department of Transportation showed that the state would need $48.3 billion through 2033 to upgrade our highways to a condition of “good,” but only $19 billion in existing revenue streams exist.

South Carolina needs to use an appropriate funding source to fix issues such as potholes, ragged edges and faint lines that plague our roads. The gas tax is a reasonable avenue. It may also help to encourage more drivers to car pool, fostering a more environmentally friendly commute to work.

Additionally, a maintenance plan — outlining exactly where the money would be used — needs to be orchestrated by the Legislature in coordination with the state’s transportation department.

The gasoline tax is not a panacea. However, it needs to be part of a larger, comprehensive plan that helps to ensure our roads are adequately maintained.

While our residents don’t need to be cash-crunched, maintaining our roads is vital to our state’s future and should have a positive impact moving forward.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Ignorant people put Bush in office for 2 terms This letter is in response to Emmett Anglin. How dare you say all people who voted for President Obama are ignorant. To me you are the ignorant for thinking this. I know lawyers, doctors, teachers and bankers who voted for him. I have friends and relatives, some are government employees, working in banks, managers of city

|

agencies. I myself worked for a major corporation in New York City for 25 years and retired at the age of 48 with a lifetime pension. President Obama inherited a lot of problems from Bush 2, unnecessary wars, unemployment at its highest in many years and high taxes. The ignorant people have put him in office for two terms.

Maybe if you became one of us you would know better.

So intelligent one, think

before you speak. There are people who may not understand everything, and I am sure some are Republicans.

Before you speak, please read on some of the things Obama has done. I am sure there are ignorant Republicans, independents and Democrats, but we are all humans and vote for whom we choose without being judged as ignorant.

Study: Donor egg pregnancies on the rise

BY LINDSEY TANNER AP Medical Writer CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; U.S. women are increasingly using donated eggs to get pregnant, with often good results, although the ideal outcome â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a single baby born on time at a healthy weight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is still uncommon, a study found.

That ideal result occurred in about 1 out of 4 donor egg pregnancies in 2010, up from 19 percent a decade earlier, the study found.

Almost 56 percent resulted in a live birth in 2010, and though most of these were generally healthy babies, 37 percent were twins and many were born prematurely, at low birth weights.

Less than 1 percent were triplets. Low birth weights are less than about 5½ pounds and babies born that small are at risk for complications including breathing problems, jaundice, feeding difficulties and eye problems.

For women who use in vitro fertilization and their own eggs, the livebirth rate varies by age and is highest

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about 40 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; among women younger than 35.

Women who use IVF with donor eggs are usually older and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have viable eggs of their own. Because the donor eggs are from young, healthy women, they have a good chance of success, generally regardless of the recipientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age.

The average age of women using donor eggs was 41 in 2010 and donors were aged 28 on average; those didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change during 10 years.

The study, by researchers at Emory University and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, was published online Thursday in the Journal of the American Medical Association and presented at the American Society for Reproductive Medicineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual meeting in Boston.

IVF involves mixing eggs and sperm in a lab dish and transferring the resulting embryo to the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womb a few days later. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most often used with the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own eggs, in cases of infertility.

The study found attempts using donor eggs increased during the decade

from 10,801 to 18,306. Transferring just one embryo, to avoid multiple births, also increased, from less than 1 percent to 15 percent in 2010.

Lead author Dr. Jennifer Kawwass of Emory University said researchers still need to find better ways to identify which embryos have the best chance of resulting in healthy babies.

Dr. William Schlaff, ob-gyn chief at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, said the rise in use of donor eggs â&#x20AC;&#x153;is probably partly a social story. Women not having success in becoming pregnant in their late 30s and 40s are more comfortable using donor eggsâ&#x20AC;? and techniques have improved to raise success rates, Schlaff said. He was not involved in the research.

Proposed bill ups penalties for work zone violations CHARLESTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A bill proposed by two state senators would increase fines and jail time for driving violations in construction zones in South Carolina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s common sense to take these extra steps for safety,â&#x20AC;? Sen. Paul Campbell of Goose Creek told The Post and Courier of Charleston.

Campbell and Sen. Larry Grooms of Bonneau, the chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, plan to introduce the measure, known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;speeding in construction zonesâ&#x20AC;? law, and predict it will

pass next year.

Currently, those ticketed for speeding in construction zones face a maximum fine of $200 and 30 days in jail.

But under the proposal, the fine would be increased to a minimum $250 and if someone in a vehicle is hurt, the offender could be sentenced to a $1,000 fine and 30 days in jail.

Under the bill, incidents that injure constriction workers would carry a maximum fine of $5,000 and two years in prison. A driver who kills a highway construction worker could be fined

$10,000 and sent to prison for three years.

Any offense in a construction zone would add a two-point penalty to the offenderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license.

The South Carolina Highway Patrol has been working with the state transportation department to reduce

these types of work zone incidents.

In 2006, a federal grant allowed troopers to be assigned to the bigger construction sites, resulting in a drop in the number of incidents from 1,544 in 2005 to 472 in 2008. Officials say a patrol car does more to slow mo-

torists than warning cones and signs.

But the highway patrol says the number of work zone incidents has been climbing, reaching 1,404 last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While we do not comment on the merits

of proposed legislation, we are always interested in any measures that will enhance safety on our roadways and will follow this legislation closely,â&#x20AC;? the patrolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lt. Roger Hughes said.

PHOENIX from Page A1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that we work so closely with the students allows them to be successful,â&#x20AC;? Fulton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many have graduated and, in fact, some of them have graduated early. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since we operate under a charter for only 60 students, when you graduate 20 of them, as we FULTON did, it leaves us with a lot less,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Fulton presented an update on the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enrollment at the Clarendon School District 2 board of trustees meeting Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fulton said they currently have 42 or 43 students and they are anticipating having two more today,â&#x20AC;? Tindal said Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hoping for them to arrive at their number.â&#x20AC;?

Fulton said Wednesday three more students were expected to enroll, but she did not want to count them until they â&#x20AC;&#x153;step into the building.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have to be enrolled and in school (by the 22nd),â&#x20AC;? she said.

Tindal said Fulton would call the school district on Tuesday to give an update on the enrollment numbers.

The school accepts students from the three districts in Clarendon as well as Sumter School District, Fulton said, but could accept students from any district.

Phoenix is chartered to teach â&#x20AC;&#x153;divergentâ&#x20AC;? students, who do not conform with other students or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn at the same rate as other students, Fulton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These students are not necessarily below academic level,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe they are defiant, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work

well with teachers, or they might be students who have been bullied and feel uncomfortable in a regular school setting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They may be students who are oppositional. It can be for a variety of reasons.â&#x20AC;?

Students are referred to Phoenix by counselors at the various high schools, Fulton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They work closely with students, and maybe they are aware of a bullying situation and would give the referral to the parents,â&#x20AC;?

Fulton said.

The parents and students can be reluctant at first, but most contact the school, Fulton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes they are not fully aware of what Phoenix is and what it stands for, but once I explain they become more receptive and follow through,â&#x20AC;? she said.

While troubled students who are not adapting to traditional schools can enroll in private or religious school, Fulton said Phoenix was often the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only option. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want everyone to know we are really a school of choice. We are an alternative public school that awards students a state high school diploma,â&#x20AC;? Fulton said.

It was first called in by a passer-by and shortly after by the occupants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Upon arrival, the mobile home was 80 percent involved,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the occupants were outside. That was a little bit of comfort. We were

By 10:04 a.m., the 20 firefighters from five stations had the blaze under control, Duggan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know they had some issues with the water heater yesterday, but we have not determined the cause or origin of the fire,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made the call, and Red Cross is coming for assistance. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear the structure will be uninhabitable.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always thankful to Red Cross because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always

there to assist us. We thank them for the continued partnership.â&#x20AC;?

While the firefighters worked salvage and overhaul and the family waited on the American Red Cross volunteers, Wilson waited to see if the men working the scene could find her keys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I left my keys in the house,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was not thinking about them.â&#x20AC;?

S&P 500 reaches all-time high after U.S. debt deal NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The stock market hit an all-time high Thursday as investors put the government shutdown and debt ceiling crisis behind them and focused on corporate earnings.

The Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 index rose 11.61 points, or 0.7 percent, to close at 1,733.15 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a record close.

The market rose throughout the day as investors got back to focusing on corporate earnings and economic data. American Express and Verizon rose the most in the Dow Jones industrial average after reporting earnings that beat expectations from financial analysts.

The Dow ended the day down two points, or 0.01 percent, to 15,371.65. The index of 30 big U.S. companies was held back by declines in IBM, Goldman Sachs and UnitedHealth.

IBMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-quarter revenue fell and missed Wall Streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forecast by more than $1 billion.

The stock closed down $11.90, or 6 percent, to $174.80. Earlier, it had touched its lowest level of the past year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; $172.57.

Goldman Sachs also weighed down the index.

The investment bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue fell sharply as trading in bonds and other securities slowed.

Goldman fell $3.93, or 2.4 percent, to $158.32.

The focus on earnings is a change of pace for Wall Street, which had been absorbed in Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political drama during the last month.

Now that the U.S. has avoided the possibility of default, at least for a few months, earnings news is expected to dominate trading for the next couple weeks. So far, only 79 companies in the S&P 500 have reported third-quarter results, according to S&P Capital IQ. Analysts expect earnings at those companies to increase 3.3 percent over the same period a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we can completely close the door on the debt ceiling chapter just yet, but we can get back to the stuff that really matters,â&#x20AC;? said Jonathan Corpina, who manages trading on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange for Meridian Equity Partners.

Other indexes also posted big gains. The Nasdaq composite closed up 23.71 points, or 0.6 percent, to 3,863.15.

The Russell 2000 index, which is made up of primarily smaller, riskier companies, also hit an all-time high. It closed up 9.85 points, or 0.9 percent, to 1,102.27 and has risen nearly 30 percent this year.

THE ITEM

NOT GUILTY from Page A1 seated behind him.

The defendant’s mother, Henrietta M. Temoney, was still excited after exiting the courtroom.

“Praise God and his mercy,” she said. “A burden has been lifted. ... God has given my son a second chance.”

Without calling a witness for the defense, attorney David Weeks worked in his closing argument to poke holes in the state’s case. His main argument revolved around whether Temoney broke into the house, based on surveillance coverage from a nearby night club.

The night of the shooting, Temoney parked his car at Club Miami on U.S. 378, approximately 500 yards from the Diaz home on Eagle Road. Prosecutors alleged he walked from there to the home, then drove back in the victim’s truck after being stabbed by Carlos Diaz, the deceased man’s son. But a witness testified that the vehicle came and went twice that evening, which Weeks seized on to argue Diaz drove to the parking lot originally to pick up Temoney, who was a frequent visitor to the home.

“Mr. Temoney got in the truck the first time, and then came back in that truck when he was running for his life,” Weeks said.

Weeks questioned why the prosecution couldn’t produce surveillance video from the club’s security camera, even though the state presented the jury with a still image that appeared to show Temoney’s car in the Club Miami parking lot. In his summation, assistant solicitor Michael D. McMullen said the club had apparently taped over much of the security footage from that night.

McMullen said what the witness remembers seeing was Temoney’s passenger, Spencer Bowman-Trumpler, drive Temoney’s car from the parking lot to a nearby convenience store and then back to the parking lot. He contended Temoney only brought BowmanTrumpler and parked at that location to establish an alibi for the burglary.

“He knew Diaz would recognize him, but he wore a bandanna for the same reason he offered Spencer a

ride,” the prosecutor said. “He wanted to be able to say, ‘I was giving him a ride.’ When Mr. Diaz said ‘Temoney robbed me’ and they asked him if he saw his face, he’d have to say ‘No, he was wearing a bandanna.’”

Sheriff ’s investigators later located Temoney at Tuomey Regional Medical Center and lifted gunpowder residue from his hands. Bowman-Trumpler testified he drove a bloody Temoney to the hospital after the younger Diaz allegedly stabbed him in the neck after both the son and father were shot at the home.

“When he visited the house, I don’t think he normally parked 500 yards away,” McMullen said.

But Weeks countered that if Temoney was actually picked up

by Diaz and didn’t break into the home, the rest of the story of what transpired there was not reliable.

“There were a lot of gaping holes, particularly the lack of video,” Weeks said after the verdict. “For the state to not show the rest of the video, I think was a mistake.”

Solicitor Ernest “Chip” Finney III was frustrated when leaving the courtroom after the verdict was read.

“I don’t want to criticize the outcome, but I am sad and disappointed for the family,” Finney said. “I am absolutely convinced we presented every piece of evidence and every witness the jury could have relied on. We held nothing back.”

After being acquitted, Temoney was taken back to the detention center for processing before being released. His mother spoke to him earlier in the day about his state of mind prior to handing the case over to the jury.

“He was a little anxious, but he said ‘Mama, I know what you taught me. I’ve done some things, but I didn’t do this,’” Henrietta Temoney said.

She was greatly impressed with the job Weeks and his firm did in swaying the jury toward a not-guilty verdict.

“They did a Herculean job in representing my son not only in a secular way, but in a Christian way,” she said.

Knights face another tall task against Marlboro Co.

BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS jdriggers@theitem.com The Crestwood High School football team was able to bask in its 10-7 victory over defending 3A state champion Hartsville for about — a day.

That is the nature of high school football, and it’s especially true of Region VI-3A. After handing the Red

Foxes their first loss in 22 games, the Knights’ reward is another marquee matchup against Marlboro County today at 7:30 p.m. at Donald L. Crolley Memorial Stadium in Dalzell.

Crestwood is 6-1 overall and on top of the region standings at 2-0. Marlboro is 5-2 overall and 1-1 in the region after losing in overtime

to Hartsville two weeks ago.

The Bulldogs, Red Foxes, Darlington and Manning are all jumbled together at 1-1 in the standings.

“I certainly hope we’ve CROLLEY moved on from last week because that has nothing to do with this week,”

Knights head coach Keith Crolley said. “We can build off it and play well this week.

This is one of those games you like to play in this time of year.

“It’s a big region game, means a lot to both sides, and hopefully we can come out and execute as well or better than we did last week.”

Stopping the Bulldogs

might be a taller task than the Red Foxes, though. Hartsville and Crestwood run similar Wing-T offenses, so the Knights were able to mostly duplicate what the Red Foxes were likely going to do in practice all week.

The Bulldogs are a spread offensive team, however, and SEE KNIGHTS, PAGE B3

Homecoming, Highlanders to test WH’s focus

(Divison I state) playoff game.”

With the win, Sumter is tied with West at 1-1 in the region with each team having two games remaining.

The Gamecocks, who are 3-5 overall, lost 28-21 to South Florence last week in Florence. It was a game Kennedy thought his team might have let slip away, but that definitely wasn’t the case against West, which fell to 4-4.

Sumter’s defense put the clamps on West Florence quarterback Marquane Goodman and the Knights’ running game. West managed just 129 yards of total offense with 51 coming on two Eron Darby runs on

As the undefeated Wilson Hall football team gets ready to host Heathwood Hall for homecoming today, some might be concerned the Barons could easily get distracted. Wilson Hall head coach Bruce Lane disagrees and feels his team has done an excellent job of focusing on the task at hand.

“You can get caught up in all of that, but I think our kids have done a great job of focusing on the things that are going to be important from 7:30 (p.m.) to 10 o’clock, and that’s the football game,” Lane said.

“Only time will tell, but we are a seniorladen team and they’ve done a good job of helping to keep LANE our kids focused. I’ll be really surprised if our kids don’t come out and pay attention to detail and be consistent in our effort in all three phases.”

The Barons have proven to be up to any task to date as they are 7-0 overall and 6-0 mark in SCISA 3A play.

“Whether it’ll be next week’s last road game or senior night or playoffs; there is always something coming up that can be a distraction, but our kids have done a really nice job of focusing and finishing, and we hope that’s what we’re able to do tomorrow night,” Lane said.

Lane feels the things that have led Wilson Hall to success thus far are the same things it will need to continue to excel at in Friday’s contest.

“I think it will be as it has been every Friday night – to be sound in the kicking game and do a good job covering,” he explained. “I think defensively not giving up big

SHS tennis peaking at right time

BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER mchristopher@theitem.com Coming off its best season in school history, the Sumter High School varsity girls tennis team has had a great follow-up season, and it’s not over yet.

In fact, Lady Gamecocks head coach Jason Loudenslager feels if the team continues to gel and improve, last year’s finish of falling in the 4A lower state semifinals could become an afterthought.

“With the playoffs coming up around the corner, if we gel quite right we can actually surpass what we did last year,” Loudenslager said.

“We’re not quite where we were at last year, but we’re pretty close.”

Boston took a 3-0 lead in the top of the second inning behind a solo homer from Mike Napoli, an RBI double from David Ross and a RBI single by Jacoby Ellsbury.

The Red Sox made it 4-0 one inning later when Napoli scored on a wild pitch by Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez.

Darby’s second run got the ball to the Sumter 32yard line, but the Knights fumbled later in the drive and had three turnovers in the game.

“We wanted to stop the run and make them throw the football. We weren’t going to let Goodman beat us,” Kennedy said. “And our defense did a good job doing that and carrying us tonight.”

“They were just better than we were up front,” Woodberry said. “We couldn’t control their front four or their linebackers. They just beat us up front and outplayed us. Our defense played well for us and well enough to win, but we just didn’t help them on offense. Nothing we did work.”

Stewart underwent his third operation on Oct. 7, and said during a video chat Tuesday night on NASCAR. com that the risk of infection was something doctors had warned him about after his injury in an August sprint car crash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was more worried about

The play at Nos. 1 and 2 singles has perhaps set an example for the remaining players as the rest of the girls have followed suit and helped the team get to where it is today.

Clarendon Hall, which lost to St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christian 3-0 in two regularseason matches, defeated SJC 16-25, 25-18, 25-23 on Thursday to even its record at 9-9. The Lady Saints will face Laurens again on Saturday at 8:30 a.m. in an elimination match.

Clarendon Hall head coach Ritchie Way said his team has been working hard on its play around the net. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on our spiking and trying to hit the ball harder over the last three weeks,â&#x20AC;? Way said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel like that is really helping us along now.â&#x20AC;?

The Lady Saints were led by Emily Brunson with 14 service points and seven spikes against St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Bailey Connors had 16 points and Christine Elenbark had nine points.

In the opening match, Laurens won 25-18, 20-25, 25-17. Way likes his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chances against LA on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We took one (game) from them today, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see what we can do on Saturday,â&#x20AC;? Way said.

The Highlanders, who are 2-5 overall and 2-4 in league play, are coming off their biggest win of the season, a 45-14 victory over Pinewood Prep. HH is averaging 19.1 points per game while allowing 21.2, although some of those numbers could be skewed due to injuries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had kind of an upand-down year,â&#x20AC;? Lane said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They played really well offensively last week beating Pinewood (Prep).

Their quarterback is their playmaker, not only throwing the ball, but also running it and they are

one of the greatest players ever to play in the NFL,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gibbs told The Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was an unbelievable athlete, plus his competitive spirit. Plus he was physical, boy, was he physical.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; WILSON RISING

With a pair of strong finishes in Houston, Justin Wilson made this one of the best IndyCar seasons of his career.

Wilson goes into the season finale race at Fontana ranked fourth in the standings, and although heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still searching for a win this year, his four podiums this season are the most since he had five in Champ Car in 2007.

Sumter High senior Suzanne Mickey returns a shot to South Florenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mirella Manilla during her 6-0, 6-0 victory in the Lady Gamecocksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 5-1 win on Thursday at the SHS courts. Mickey is undefeated in the regular season since 2010.

Loudenslager praised the girls for their leadership abilities and play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From there, different things have been happening this year, but our No. 3 singles player, Avery Jones, who was our rookie of the year as a seventh-grader, has been really key for us this year,â&#x20AC;? Loudenslager said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won five matches 4-3, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s won the key match to get us that fourth point.â&#x20AC;?

Recently itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the play of sophomore Emily Mulholland at No. 4 singles and freshman Valencia Brown at No. 5 singles that has led the team to the game-deciding point in three out of the last four matches. That has Loudenslager believing his team is on the right path.

Connors had 17 points against Laurens, while Brunson had 10 points and six spikes and Shannon Corbett had nine points and five digs.

For Wilson Hall, it ran into a buzzsaw against Ashley Hall. Ashley Hall won by the scores of 25-11, 25-8. The Lady Barons made HHC battle for its victory, which it claimed by the scores of 25-18, 17-25, 25-20.

Wilson Hall head coach Teresa Alexander was pleased with the effort put forth by her young team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where we had a goal of trying to get to Saturday, what I wanted from my team was to play its hardest and give it all it had,â&#x20AC;? said Alexander, whose team finished the year with an 8-11 record. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it to Saturday, the girls played as hard as they could in both matches.â&#x20AC;?

In the loss to Hilton Head, Caroline Clark led the Lady Barons in scoring with nine points. Simmons deHoll had four kills and Bailey Connor had three kills.

The 2A tourney begins today with lower state No. 2 seed Robert E. Lee Academy, 18-2, taking on No. 7 seed and 7-11 Thomas Sumter Academy at 2 p.m.

more of a run team this year.â&#x20AC;?

Senior Logan McGill is the Heathwood QB and has been very consistent throwing for the Highlanders while also being able to use his legs, Lane said. Senior running back Edwin Propst has also been solid while senior Nelson Weston has been a playmaker both offensively at wide receiver and in the secondary.

Other playmakers to watch out for are last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarterback, senior Will Detwiler, who moved to linebacker. Sophomore Brandon Hill does a little bit of everything playing running back, defensive back and even kicks and punts for the team. On the offensive line, Davis Bland and Alex Curtain seem to pave the way for the Highlandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; running game.

The Barons have been stellar on both sides of the ball, averaging 43.6 points per game offensively while allowing almost nine defensively. WH has not allowed more than 20 points in a game

WH senior quarterback William Kinney is 70 of 92 passing for 1,220 yards with 13 touchdowns to one interception. He is also the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second leading rusher with 375 yards and six TDs on 47 carries. The Baronsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rushing attack is led by senior Jay Goodson, who has amassed 701 yards rushing on 69 carries, including 10 scores.

Senior Parker McDuffie has added 347 yards and five scores on 63 totes.

WH senior Devin Singleton, who just had surgery on his collarbone and hopes to possibly be back for postseason play, is the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading receiver with 556 yards on 20 catches. Goodson, McDuffie and sophomore Jake Croft are also valuable options.

Junior John Wells Baker leads WH defensively with 63 tackles followed by John Patrick Sears (60) and Robert James (44).

quarterback London Johnson has been as equally dangerous with his legs as he has been with his arm.

Johnson threw for 127 yards and a touchdown in a 35-0 win over Lakewood last week and also ran for 91 yards and three scores.

For the season, Marlboro has thrown for 1,419 yards and rushed for 855. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a lot different to prepare for than Hartsville,â&#x20AC;? Crolley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used running backs in the backfield to try to simulate some of the things they do.

You have to be able to defend the entire field and you have to tackle well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the kids have worked hard this week and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve prepared well.

Hopefully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to slow them down a little bit.â&#x20AC;?

That might depend on the Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to establish their own running game. Crestwood has already rushed for 2,275 yards as a team this year, led by Tyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Son Williams (889) and Jason McDaniel (829).

But the Bulldog defense has been stingy when it comes to giving up points and rushing yards. Opponents are averaging just 11.9 points per game against Marlboro and 95.4 net rushing yards per contest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably as big of a defensive line as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see this year,â&#x20AC;?

Crolley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re big and they run well. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to work on getting our blocks and getting to the second level in our run game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really going to be a big key on both sides.

We have to execute well against their defensive line and we have to be able to do the same against their offensive line.â&#x20AC;?

FSU’s Puntrooskie play still resonates

BY PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tennessee quarterback Justin Worley, right, knows exactly what he and the rest of the Volunteers are up against when it comes to South Carolina DE Jadeveon Clowney. Worley and Clowney both grew up in Rock Hill, but went to different high schools.

Vols’ Worley knows USC DE well

BY STEVE MEGARGEE The Associated Press KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Perhaps no quarterback understands the challenge of facing South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney better than Tennessee’s Justin Worley.

Worley and Clowney both grew up in Rock Hill, though they went to different high schools. That allowed Worley to watch Clowney mature into one of the nation’s most feared pass rushers. Worley remembers Clowney as an elementary school running back who was taller than faster than all his peers.

“I played against him in middle school, and it was the same thing,’’ Worley said. “He played defensive end and running back and ran all over the place. ... The rest is history now. He’s a great, great, great player.’’

Worley will spend his Saturday afternoon trying to make sure he doesn’t get a face-toface reunion with Clowney in Tennessee’s backfield.

Clowney clinched South

SEC SHOWDOWN

WHO: (11) South Carolina (5-1, 3-1 SEC) at Tennessee (3-3, 0-2 SEC) WHEN: Saturday, Noon WHERE: Neyland Stadium TV/RADIO: ESPN, WIBZ-FM 95.5, WNKT-FM 107.5

Carolina’s 38-35 victory over Tennessee last year by sacking Tyler Bray and forcing a fumble with the Vols driving in the final minute. Tennessee’s chances of gaining revenge Saturday against the 11thranked Gamecocks depend in part on whether Worley can maintain the momentum he established in his last game, a 34-31 overtime loss to Georgia.

“He’s gained a lot of confidence, but you’re only as good as your last game,’’ Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. “We’re going to need a lot from him Saturday. He’s going to be challenged with his pocket

presence and just overall management and leadership of the offense.’’

While South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw has been a model of consistency this season, Worley’s gone through plenty of ups and downs in his first year as a starter.

Worley lost his starting job earlier this year. He threw a combined five interceptions in back-to-back games against Florida and South Alabama. But he bounced back against Georgia, as he avoided turning the ball over and rallied Tennessee from a 14-point halftime deficit.

“It helps a lot, knowing I can put together a performance like that against a quality team,’’ Worley said.

Worley needs a strong outing to match what South Carolina likely will receive from Shaw, who is playing the best football of his career.

Shaw ranks seventh nationally in passing efficiency and has thrown 124 passes without being intercepted this season.

Shaw also has rushed for 319 yards and two touchdowns.

ACC SHOWDOWN

CLEMSON — LeRoy Butler won a Super Bowl with Green Bay, got picked for four Pro Bowls and began a modern “Cheese Head’’ tradition 20 years ago with his leap into the Lambeau Field stands after a touchdown.

But the former Florida State defensive back said what he gets asked about most often is the “Puntrooskie. No doubt about it.’’

Butler’s 78-yard scamper off a fake punt against Clemson in 1988 remains among college football’s most famous and gutsy calls a quarter of a century later. “They took a heck of a chance and 25 years later, we’re still talking about it,’’ said former Clemson coach Danny Ford, who walked out of Death Valley with a 24-21 defeat on Sept. 18, 1988.

The Seminoles won that top-10 matchup and the stakes are just as high this weekend when No. 5 Florida State (5-0) plays at thirdranked Clemson (6-0) on Saturday. The winner will be in Atlantic Coast Conference driver’s seat with their national title hopes intact.

Ford’s Tigers were ranked third when Florida State arrived for just its second-ever visit to Death Valley. The Seminoles began the season No. 1 but fell to 10th after a week-one drubbing, 31-0, against Miami on national TV. “We knew we couldn’t lose another one,’’ Butler said.

Both teams’ rosters were filled with future NFL players.

WHO: (5) Florida State (5-0, 3-0 ACC) at (3) Clemson (6-0, 4-0 ACC) WHEN: Saturday, 8 p.m.

WHERE: Memorial Stadium TV/RADIO: WOLO 25, WWBDFM 94.7

The Seminoles also featured Deion Sanders and freshman quarterback Charlie Ward. The Tigers were led by tailback Terry Allen, punter Chris Gardocki and cornerback Donnell Woolford, who was back awaiting the punt that never came his way with 1:31 left in a 21-all tie.

“I still can’t believe what I saw,’’ said Woolford, who played nine NFL seasons with Chicago and Pittsburgh.

Florida State coach Bobby Bowden had wanted something extraordinary in special teams to tilt things against Miami in the opener and had worked on the puntrooskie before the year, said Brad Scott, the Seminoles tight ends coach that year.

“Well, we just got swamped against the Hurricanes and never got to use it,’’ said Scott, a member of Clemson’s football staff the past 15 seasons.

Two weeks later, Bowden was eager to pull the trigger on the play.

At halftime against Clemson with Florida State trailing 14-7, Bowden told players and coaches, “Don’t worry, this is a tie game because we’ve got the ‘rooskie,’ we’ve got the ‘rooskie’,’’ Scott remembered.

USC picks up one of two target recruits said, adding that Wideman will also take an official visit to USC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think right now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still committed, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still talking, if that makes sense,â&#x20AC;? Painter said. Wideman is playing in the Under Armour All-American Game and Painter said he wants to make his announcement then.

Defensive end Andrew Williams of McDonough, Ga., has a final six of Clemson, USC, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Mississippi and Auburn. There is no order to his list, and he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take official visits until after his season. Tennessee will be the school left out of official visits because he recently visited there. Williams has not made it to Clemson or USC for a game this season, but said he may try to get to USCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next home game.

Williams said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing about every other day from Clemson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are having a great season and great potential on their defense,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also hearing regularly from USC, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aware of the Gamecocksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; need at his position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can see an opportunity with Jadeveon (Clowney) and the other guy (Chaz Sutton) leaving,â&#x20AC;?

Williams said â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other two (defensive ends) are probably like 200 pounds soaking wet (Williams weighs 250). I think I can go up there and make an impact if I did choose them.â&#x20AC;?

Williams said he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make his decision until after his visits and he may wait to announce at the U.S. Army All-American Game in January of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;14..

Linebacker Raekwom McMillan of Hinesville, Ga., will be at Clemson for the FSU game this weekend for his official visit. He was at Clemson earlier in the season for the Georgia game, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking at the official visit as an important step in his decision-making process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve liked Clemson for a long time,â&#x20AC;? McMillan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This (the visit) will dictate whether they are going to lock me in. I know everything about Clemson. I just want to see if they can pull out this big game, and (if) Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to have a good time.â&#x20AC;?

McMillan has done his scouting of Clemsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LBs and the work of defensive coordinator Brent Venables, who just happens to coach the LBs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the way he attacks with linebackers and blitzes off the edge,â&#x20AC;? McMillan said.

McMillan has taken an official visit to UGA. He goes to Ohio State on Oct. 25, Alabama on Nov. 8 and Florida on Nov. 30. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My top five all recruited me hard,â&#x20AC;? said McMillan, adding that he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

have any separation among his schools. He plans to announce his decision in December or at the Under Armour Game. He will enroll in January.

DE Dante Sawyer of Suwanee, Ga., visited Auburn recently and he told AuburnSports.com he does not have a favorite. Asked specifically about reports USC was the clear leader, Sawyer replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;?Not true. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final.â&#x20AC;? Sawyer added that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no longer considering Alabama and has a short list of USC, Auburn, UGA, Tennessee and Missouri. He plans to take some official visits before making his decision and confirmed only Auburn for one of those visits at this time.

WR Artavis Scott of Tarpon Springs, Fla., committed to Clemson in July and is not wavering from his decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am committed (to Clemson) 100 percent,â&#x20AC;? Scott said. Scott visited Clemson Phil for the home KORNBLUT opener versus UGA and was there this past weekend as well.

DL Quaven Ferguson of Easley High has offers from Furman and Duke, and Georgia Tech is showing interest. He has been to games at Duke and GT this season.

He does not have a favorite and has no plans to commit anytime soon.

Tight end KC Crosby Jr. of Bamberg-Ehrhardt High committed to USC in June and remains strong with the Gamecocks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty solid,â&#x20AC;? Crosby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going anywhere else and will sign my letter of intent (with USC).â&#x20AC;? Alabama, Tennessee, Florida and several other schools continue to send Crosby mail, but he said he is not speaking with any other program other than USC. DE Cory Thomas of McCadory, Ala., is now favoring Tennessee after visiting there.

He lists the other schools on his list in order as Mississippi State, Florida, FSU and Clemson. He plans to take all of his official visits before making his decision.

DL Zeek Rodney of South Pointe High in Rock Hill was contacted last week by Syracuse. Rodney has offers from Boston College, South Carolina State, Louisiana Lafayette, Marshall, Appalachian State, Toledo and Ball State, but does not have any favorites. Marshall and BC will each receive an official visit from Rodney soon..

USC commitment DB Al Harris Jr. of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is 100 percent committed to the Gamerecruiting corner

W

hile South Carolina hit one out of the park in its 52-7 football victory at Arkansas on Saturday, the Gamecocks only batted .500 with two of their top recruiting targets over the weekend.

USC landed offensive lineman Donell Stanley of Latta High School, but missed on wide receiver Braxton Berrios of Raleigh, N.C. Stanley, a Shrine Bowl selection tackle, picked the Gamecocks over Clemson after eliminating Alabama and North Carolina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closer to home, a quality SEC (Southeastern Conference) school, one of the top ones in the conference, and I just like what the coaches bring to the table, especially (OL) Coach (Shawn) Elliott,â&#x20AC;? Stanley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the way he coaches. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an energetic coach and gets his point across. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to push you to be the best you can be.â&#x20AC;?

Some recruiting analysts consider Stanley to be the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 prospect in the 2014 class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His lower body is really good,â&#x20AC;? Latta head coach Kelly Williamson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has really good foot work (and size 22 shoes) and his lower body is really strong.

He has exceptionally long arms and big hands. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most athletic kid in school.â&#x20AC;?

Stanley also stars on the Vikingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball and baseball teams and said he might attempt to join the Gamecock baseball team.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the 13th commitment for USCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;14 class.

Berrios, also a Shrine Bowl pick, chose Miami over USC, Tennessee, Oregon and Kentucky. Berrios made several visits to USC, but he was a long time Hurricanes fan.

Defensive lineman Dexter Wideman of Saluda High was one of the 40 players selected for the South Carolina Shrine Bowl team. Wideman has been publicly committed to Florida State since the summer, but he never closed the door on USC and his head coach said the commitment to the Seminoles is very soft at best right now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still got Florida State in his mind too,â&#x20AC;? Saludaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Doug Painter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know right now to be honest with you. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s torn because South Carolina is closer to home and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been to a lot of games there. He likes the coaches, but he likes the coaches at Florida State too.â&#x20AC;?

Wideman will take an official visit to FSU for the Miami game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to go down there, and he said hopefully after I get back from down there I can make up my mind for sure,â&#x20AC;? Painter

cocks. Harris has yet to visit USC, but plans to do so next month. Harris has no plans to visit any other school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m done with recruiting,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to South Carolina.â&#x20AC;?

DL Anthony Moten of Fort Lauderdale told Rivals heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still interested in USC. He will try to take an official visit to FSU for the Miami weekend if he finishes the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) early enough to get there. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also planning to go to Miami for the Virginia Tech game. Moten said he has a good relationship with USC recruiter Grady Brown and continues to communicate with him.

Juniors: Clemson is one of the five offers for junior quarterback Lorenzo Nunez of Kennesaw, Ga. His other offers are from Ohio State, Tennessee, Kentucky and Charlotte. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also getting interest from Florida, FSU and Miami. Nunez said he talks to Clemson weekly and Clemson wants him to come in for a game. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expecting QB coach and offensive coordinator Chad Morris to come to one of his games in the next month. Nunez feels good about Morrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interest in him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s told me Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m among the top 10-15 quarterbacks on their roster right now,â&#x20AC;? Nunez said. Nunez was at Clemson for the UGA game and was at UGA for the Louisiana State game. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to Ohio State on Oct. 26 for the Penn State game. There is no favorite at this point.

Chason Virgil (6-feet2-inches, 170 pounds) of Mesquite, Texas, plans to be at Clemson this weekend. This will be his second trip to Clemson. He visited in early August with his sister, brother and brother-in-law. This time his mother will be part of the traveling party. Clemsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Morris is recruiting Virgil and the two talk frequently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He says he likes me as a quarterback and he really wants me out there,â&#x20AC;? Virgil said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He feels like when my time comes, I can be the big guy, I can be better than Tajh Boyd.â&#x20AC;? Virgil also has offers from Arizona State, UCLA, Nebraska, Mizzou, Mississippi State, Texas and Toledo. The only game heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been to this season was Arizona State against ND in Arlington, Texas. Last season, Virgil passed for 2,300 yards and 21 touchdowns and rushed for 400 yards and 23 scores. Right now he does not have a favorite, and he wants to make his decision before spring ball. Also joining Virgil on the visit will be his teammate, WR Akilian Butler. Virgil said Clemson

has also offered Butler and is his only offer so far.

Clemson has loaded up on rangy WRs in recent years and the Tigers are after another in Juval Mollette (6-4, 186) of Randelman, N.C. The Tigers have offered and recruiter Robbie Caldwell recently was by the school to check in. Mollette plans to be at Clemson for the FSU game on Saturday.

He has been to VT, USC, North Carolina State, UNC and Virginia. USC has not offered, but he has offers from the other schools heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visited along with GT, Tennessee, Duke and East Carolina. Mollette does not have a favorite and plans a decision in his senior year.

Basketball News: Dante Buford, a 6-7 player from Jacksonville, Fla., had to reschedule his visits to Oklahoma and Miami because his ACT score wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t posted in time. He can now take those visits and will do so over the next two weeks. And he will visit USC on Nov. 1. Buford no longer is considering Southern California and Oklahoma State and will only take the three visits.

USC head coach Frank Martin is a regular visitor to see Buford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;South Carolina certainly, if not in the lead, is right there,â&#x20AC;? Bufordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach, Rex Morgan, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it will go with how the visits go.â&#x20AC;?

Derrick Brooks Jr., a 6-2 player form Bartow, Fla., committed to Wofford over the weekend after taking an official visit with the Terriers. Alexis Carter, a 5-7 point guard from Tigard, Ore., committed to the Clemson women. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the third commitment for the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;14 class.

Baseball News: Catcher Jared Martin of Chattahoochee Valley Junior College in Phenix City, Ala., committed to USC for the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;14 class. The Atlanta native batted .354 with three home runs and 45 runs batted in last season. Defensively Martin committed just one error and threw out nine of 17 runners attempting to steal. Martin gives the Gamecocks 14 pledges in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;14 class.

Grant Bodison (6-2, 170), a highly regarded shortstop from Mauldin High, committed to USC, becoming the Gamecocksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first commitment for the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;16 class.

Some of the other schools on his list were Clemson, Coastal Carolina, College of Charleston, FSU, NCSU, UNC, Tennessee and UVa. PerfectGame ranks Bodison as the 52nd best player in the country in his class and calls him â&#x20AC;&#x153;an extremely high ceiling player.â&#x20AC;?

PBS airs â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Great Performancesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; retrospective

BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Anniversaries are frequently bittersweet. They ask us to celebrate achievements while reminding us of those weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost, and hinting, ever so subtly, that our best years may be behind us. Julie Andrews hosts the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great Performances 40th Anniversary Celebrationâ&#x20AC;? (9 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings), and her introduction and brief remarks come weighted with nostalgia. She reminds us that commercial television â&#x20AC;&#x153;used toâ&#x20AC;? support the arts and even create it.

She was, of course, the star of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rodgers and Hammersteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cinderella,â&#x20AC;? the first musical created especially for television. It was a major event when first broadcast in 1957. A 1965 revival, starring Lesley Ann Warren, was also a hit, as was a 1997 version with Whitney Houston and Brandy Norwood.

The successes of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cinderellaâ&#x20AC;? notwithstanding, fine arts began vanishing from the network television screen by the end of the 1950s. By 1972, when â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great Performancesâ&#x20AC;? began, commercial

prime-time television no longer had room for classical music, Broadway musicals, Shakespeare productions, ballet, modern dance or serious contemporary drama. So, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great Performances,â&#x20AC;? produced by WNET, the PBS affiliate out of New York, began to fill the void.

Over tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 90-minute retrospective, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shown a rapid succession of vintage clips and treated to contemporary performances, recorded live,

by Julie Andrews, Audra McDonald, Don Henley, David Hyde Pierce, Josh Groban, Itzhak Perlman, Peter Martins, Patti Austin, Take 6, opera star Elina Garanca and Michael Buble.

Tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Other Highlights â&#x20AC;˘ The youngsters create a delicious dish from unsavory ingredients on â&#x20AC;&#x153;MasterChefâ&#x20AC;? (8 p.m., Fox, TV-PG). â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reignâ&#x20AC;?
