LCPD: Man cut woman’s hair with knifeBy COREY [email protected]

A Wellborn man entered a Lake City woman’s apartment on his 59th birthday and forcibly cut her hair with a knife before she escaped, a police report said.

Lake City police responded to the scene of a disturbance and arrested Thomas Lee Brown, of

the 3300 block of County Road 250.Brown had previously lived at

the residence and had been in a rela-tionship with the victim, according to the report.

The woman told officers that just before 11 p.m. she was in her apart-ment along with two friends. The front door was propped open when Brown allegedly barged in.

Brown was said to be angry and “started yelling at her that she was sleeping around with other men.”

Police spoke with another woman inside the home who cor-roborated the victim’s account, while another man in the apart-ment refused to cooperate, the report said.

Afterward, Brown reportedly grabbed the woman and refused to let her go. She then dropped to

Jailed for trespassing at downtown law firm.

Alleged attack came on his birthday, report says.

Brown

Gonzales

By CARL [email protected]

The suspect in a break-in at a local law firm last week told officers he entered the busi-ness because nature called.

Michael Ernest Gonzales, 18, of 168th Street, was found inside the restroom at the office of attorney Lisa Schlitzkus on North Marion

Avenue when o f f i c e r s r e s p o n d e d the night of Oct. 25, a c c o r d i n g to a Lake City Police Depar tment

report. Around 11:42 p.m., LCPD

got a call about a burglary in progress and surrounded the building.

A voice could be heard coming from the back of the law firm, prompting officers to head that way and discov-er Gonzalez in the restroom, according to the report.

Columbia County’s alter-native school has been given a grant by nonprofit group Arts4All. A select group of motivated students were chosen to not only create art but build small businesses.

Students are learning

skills in digital design, fabrication, art, leader-ship, negotiation, coding, finance, graphic design and marketing.

In addition, students have been creating 3D products to sell at their November 3 yard sale fundraiser being

held at Pathways, located at 1301 NW Labonte Lane, to raise money for the Phoenix Incentive Program, which recognizes students who exhibited high achievement in academics, attendance and attitude.

Phones weapon of choice during campaign seasonBy CARL [email protected]

“Hello?” the voter answered.

A pre-recorded voice started talking, claiming to represent the Florida “Democrat Party.”

The voter’s absentee ballot had expired, but it was still possible to vote by phone, according to the message.

Not a single word of it was true, but the message — received Wednesday after-noon — illustrates the flood of misleading robocalls and text messages being sent to voters this election season.

“Be aware that there are people out there who want to mislead you,” said Assistant Columbia County

Supervisor of Elections Tomi Brown.

As the election approach-es, voters are getting an influx of unsolicited com-munications. Many are

i n t e n d e d to appear like they come from an official source.

“They’re g e t t i n g s o m e

wrong information out there, and they’re making it look like it comes from us,” Brown said.

Voters have been call-ing election officials in Columbia County and other parts of the state, worried or confused about emails,

text messages or phone calls they received.

“And a lot of people think that it’s coming from our office,” Brown said. “It can be quite annoying some-times.”

In the lead-up to the primary election, vot-ers throughout Florida received packets in the mail that appeared to come from a generic elections office.

“There’s been a lot of things,” Columbia County Supervisor of Elections Liz Horne told the Lake City Reporter. “Had the wrong information, wrong dates.”

Horne said her office doesn’t send text messages or make unsolicited phone calls to voters, and any phys-ical mail without her office’s

logo is not legitimate. “I just always try to tell

people, if it didn’t have my name and address on it, you didn’t get it from me,” Horne said.

Anyone who has received suspicious texts, robocalls, emails or physical mail can contact the Columbia County Supervisor of Elections at 758-1026.

“If you are concerned about that, just call our office,” Horne said. “We’ll be glad to talk with you and give you the correct infor-mation that you need.”

Turnout this year has so far been astounding, Brown said.

“We’re surprised and exit-ed,” Brown said. “People are voting.”

The goods were collected for two weeks from all 14 county public schools.

Officers wanted to know “exactly what the suspect did while he was inside the business,” the report states.

Gonzales told officers he needed to use the restroom,

but the gas station across the street was closed.

Officers checked the scene and confirmed his story.

Schlitzkus said she had seen Gonzales in her office before, explaining that he walked right to the rear restroom.

Schlitzkus told officers she wanted Gonzales arrest-ed for trespassing.

Gonzales was arrested on a misdemeanor trespass-ing charge and taken with-out incident to Columbia County Detention Facility on a $1,000 bond.

the floor to break free, one witness account stated.

“At this time the subject then pulled a knife out of his pocket,” the report said.

After Brown had cut the victim’s hair the report said she wiggled free then called police.

Brown fled and when police found him officers

recovered a knife he was said to be in possession of.

Prior to the incident, on September 29, Brown was issued a trespass warning at the address, the report stated.

While in police custody in the back of the patrol car Brown reportedly told officers he had been invited to the residence and the witnesses were lying.

When officers asked Brown about the woman’s

hair he allegedly told them, “she did it to herself.”

He also told officers the woman had hurt his fingers about a month ago.

The arresting officer examined Brown’s fingers and reportedly found “an injury that had almost healed.”

Brown was taken to Columbia County Jail on charges of aggravated bat-tery, burglary and trespass-ing with no bond.

To the Editor: The November elections are

here. It is time for every American concerned about our state and country to head to the polls and cast their ballot. The issues are critical, but there are only two choices. If you want Florida to become a sanctuary state over-run with illegal immigrants (and we know what a travesty that has been for California), if you want

unprotected borders, government controlled Obamacare with higher insurance premiums and you want to pay more taxes, by all means you should vote Democrat. However, if you desire that we should secure our borders, be permitted to select our own health care provider at a less expensive premium, pay fewer taxes and want less government dictating our lives, you should go to the polls and vote Republican.

Every individual must decide for

themselves which party best reflects their values, and what is best for their family. It is a right and a priv-ilege to be able to elect those indi-viduals that will represent us in the political area on all levels. Americans have lost many of our rights over the past 10 years; Republican or Democrat, go to the polls and vote this November election.

Edward HunterLake City

OPINION

Ask yourself, “Is it time to change sides?” I believe it’s never too late. What do you

stand for? I believe that we all know in our hearts that there really is right and wrong. Do the right thing. Stand up for your principles. Don’t allow all the negative influences of our world to cause you to draw a line in the sand, to divide yourself from other parts of the human race, or to poison your positive attitudes of love, hope, peace, brotherhood and sisterhood. Don’t allow hatred to be a part of your life.

Face life’s challenges and deal with them in a positive way: our dif-ferent politics, religious beliefs, or a tendency to exclude others that we see as “them” from our identity as part of the bigger human race that we all are part of. Find more “us” in the world than “them.” Don’t accept negative campaigning in our poli-tics. Don’t try to bring down every

leader just because some leaders aren’t perfect. None of us are.

Don’t allow yourself to let neg-ative influences turn you toward the “dark side.” Love is the stron-gest positive force in the universe. Embrace it. Bad and evil won’t win, in the end. Replace any fear, resent-ment, hatred, jealousy, sorrow, grief, revenge, grudges, or other negativity with your natural inclina-

tion towards love, friendship, coop-eration, self-development, self-ful-fillment, forgiveness, happiness and good will for all.

Stand by your principles: Be the best you can be. Choose to make the most of what you’ve got to work with. Love one another. Treat others the way you want to be treat-ed. Make the world a little better because you’re here. My wish for you is that my weekly column has helped you to head towards that direction of that better and happier life, and the better world that you deserve. God bless you.

A giving spirit

Two major events, one set for Saturday, the other ongoing, speak volumes about the charitable nature of this town.

On Saturday morning, the group Riders with Caring Hearts will set out on its annual motorcycle ride to help disadvantaged kids. This year’s event kicks off a three-year spon-sorship of the Columbia County School District Homeless Education Program.

Two hundred or more motorcycles are expected to take off from Harvey’s Supermarket at 11:30 a.m. for a 55-mile trek.

The trip will end at American Legion Post 57, where food will be waiting and an auction will be held to raise additional funds for local veter-ans.

The other event, now in its 30th year, is the one and only Christmas Dream Machine, where you get to “adopt” a child’s wish list.

Christmas Dream Machine is located this year at 2938 U.S. 90 and will be open through noon on Dec. 22.

We salute the folks behind both these efforts, Danny Murray of Riders with Caring Hearts, and Meally Jenkins, founder of CDM.

We also salute you, the residents who give so much to so many each and every year, and who give our town its well-deserved reputation for kindness.

God bless.

A protester told President Donald Trump it was his fault when he showed up to

honor the 11 Jews slain in the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, but it wasn’t.

He stirs things up, this president does, and he can be virulent and crude. None of this is a pleasant fit with mourning a horrific show of hatred toward fellow humans who have done so much to enrich our civilization. But understand that the man arrested for the shooting just may have shot Trump, too, if he had a chance.

He figured Trump was part of a Jewish conspiracy to take over the world, and guess why he might have seen Trump as linked to his absurd imagining. Because Trump is so attached to Jews, that’s why. Trump has a daughter who married a Jewish man, converted to Judaism herself and has produced three Jewish children who surely get hugs from a loving grandpa.

Figuratively speaking, Trump also hugs millions of Jews in Israel. He has reversed President Barack Obama’s snarling policies by heart-ily supporting this Jewish nation, as in the United States rightly recog-nizing Jerusalem as its capital.

Oh, that’s a cruel mistake, some said, because they saw this affirmation of an established fact

– and concurrence with U.S. law – as a setback for reaching peace agreements with Palestinians who, excuse me, have threatened Israeli annihilation, refused nego-tiation and abetted terrorism. In a poll, 73 percent of Jewish citizens in Israel said they approve of Trump.

In trying to protect itself, Israel is seen by some as being exploitative-ly cruel, and thus we have had boy-cotts of American companies doing business with Israeli firms seen as abetting the shame of it all, even as a majority of states have said this is repellent. Agreeing with the states are Christian evangelicals, deeply religious conservatives who tend to like Trump and celebrate Jews as God’s chosen people.

Arguments about Trump’s alleged anti-Semitism, meanwhile, mix misinformation with unshak-

able bias. For instance, we had liberal pundits excoriating him for talking about international bankers in cahoots with Hillary Clinton to do away with our sovereignty. Here, they said, was a common, Jewish conspiracy-theory slur when in fact it was a reference to a Wikileaks revelation of Clinton giving a speech at a Brazilian bank and call-ing for open borders.

Then there was Trump getting slammed after the Charlottesville riot for saying it wasn’t just the neo-Nazis and white supremacists who were violent. Even though it was one of them arrested for kill-ing a woman with his car, violence by the other side was confirmed by news accounts and even the American Civil Liberties Union.

It kind of sounds like what some are now doing to Trump. He could not persuade top Washington offi-cials to go with him to Pittsburgh or to have officials in the state and city greet him there instead of protest-ers. Maybe he has earned some of the humiliation, but it is centuries of diseased thought and the killer himself who have taken dear lives and given us this European-style experience of hell, not the president of the United States.

No, Trump did not cause shooting

FAITH & VALUESFriday & Saturday, November 2 & 3, 2018 www.lakecityreporter.com 7A

Next week Americans will go to the polls for midterm elections and decide who they want to lead our nation at various levels of government. The public rhetoric is marked by a level of acrimony that seems to me to be unprec-edented, at least in my lifetime.

There are Christians who will be making politi-cal endorsements; I never do. For the most part I do not know the individuals running for public office personally and have no idea how their character will hold up under fire. I believe character is an essential ingredient to be a statesman.

I do not vote for per-sonalities, I vote for those who I believe support the principles I think are best for all our citizens. I know from experience that I am one of those people who

can be fooled some of the time and that what some say they will do is not always what they do once in office.

I take the privilege and responsibility of voting seriously and I need good information to make my decisions in the voting booth. Sadly, we live in a time when character seems to be as lacking in the press as it is in politi-cians.

For this reason I vote my conscience based on Christian principles and trust that other believers will do the same, but since I do not know what any candidate will do once in office, I do not make endorsements. I make the best decision I can like everyone else.

Once they are in office I support my elected offi-cials with my prayers and when I can with my voice. Our president would be a case in point. I think Donald Trump has made some decisions that in principle will be good for all Americans, but by his own words he seems wholly lacking in Christian character and at times is as narcissistic as a three-

year-old. So, I pray more.But it seems that some

who claim to be Christians allow political discourse to pull them down in at least two areas.

The first is the vitriol in political discourse on both sides on a number of issues. There is not a sin-gle issue being debated in the political realm that is worth one compromising their Christian character. I have no desire to argue with or attack others who disagree with me.

The second reason aris-es from the first. When believers argue with unbe-lievers they portray more confidence in the political process than they do in God.

The coming midterm electionsCHRISTIAN CONCEPTS

Gary [email protected]

I vote my conscience based on Christian principles and trust that other believers will do the

same, but since I do not know what any candidate will do once in office, I do not make endorsements.

Recently I attended a leadership conference where the instructor handed out envelopes to everyone in attendance. Each envelope contained a single word. The instruc-tor explained that our envelopes contained a Word from God. Our task was to begin seeking God about this word and see what He wants to teach us. My word was “thankful-ness.” I decided this was an easy one: we all have much to be thankful for and I certainly know that I could be more thankful for the blessings I enjoy. Still, I placed the card in the front of my Bible, commit-ting to seek the Lord for any new insight.

In the meantime, let’s head back to our Esther study. This week we find (thankfully) that Esther was successful in her attempt to approach

the King: “When he saw Queen Esther standing in the court, he was pleased with her and held out to her the gold scepter that was in his hand.” (Esther 5:2) Now she had to decide how to ask the King to reverse a decree that he had allowed his second in charge to write and seal using his own sig-net ring! So, she invited the King and Haman to dinner. Can you imagine

being invited to dinner as the only guest of the King and Queen? Already on an ego trip from a huge promotion, having all the royal officials bow to him and having the authority to fill in the blanks on a decree signed by the King, Haman was riding high with this invitation. “Haman went out that day happy and in high spirits.” (Esther 5:9a) But. How often does that word come along just as everything is going well?

“But when he (Haman) saw Mordecai at the King’s gate and observed that he neither rose nor showed fear in his pres-ence, he was filled with rage against Mordecai.

Nevertheless, Haman restrained himself and went home. Calling together his friends and Zeresh, his wife, Haman boasted to them about his vast wealth, his many sons, and all the ways the king had honored him and how he had elevated him above the other nobles and officials. And that’s not all,” Haman added, “I’m the only person Queen Esther invited to accompany the King to the banquet she gave. And she has invited me along with the King tomorrow.” (Esther 5:9b-12)

Is Haman counting his blessings in this passage?

Haman can’t get any satisfactionSo, she invited the King and Haman to dinner. Can

you imagine being invited to dinner as the only guest of the King and Queen?

Jesus evades their trap

I don’t know if you have ever seen a quail trap. They are designed to entice the quail to come in and eat the bait that is left for them but they are not able to get out. It’s the same with a crab trap or any other trap that hunters and fisherman might use to catch their game of choice.

The religious leaders of Jesus’ day had the same thing in mind when they met with the political lead-ers because Jesus was getting in the way of what they wanted to accomplish. One group wanted religious purity and freedom from the Roman government; the other group was okay with the Roman occupation and they supported what Caesar was doing. They went along so that they could get along. Over the course of the past three years of Jesus’ ministry he taught everyone the truth and these leaders could not stand it so they came together to set a trap for him so that they could move him out of the way. Please read Matthew 22:15-22 where Jesus exposed the trap that they set for him.

When these religious and political leaders met to set a trap for Jesus, it was to intentionally harm him so that they could move forward with their agenda. These leaders used their disciples to carry out this plan. They began by trying to flatter Jesus with a false pretense using the truth. Listen to what they said to him. They acknowledge that Jesus was truthful and taught the way of the truth and didn’t care about any-one’s opinions. He didn’t even show partiality. With this false praise and worship they ask him a question that is meant to cause divi-sion. “Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay

taxes to Caesar or not?” There are two things that

people are uncomfortable talking about — religion and politics. These two groups have come together to ask about religion and politics. This question is designed to get Jesus to answer in such a way that his answer will cause a division among the people.

But since Jesus is God, he sees through their malicious intent. He rightly exposes the religious and political leaders for who they are hypocrites. Pretending to be one thing but another. Jesus exposes them and their trap. He ask for a coin. They give him a denarius. Jesus ask them whose inscription is on the coin. They told him Caesar’s. He tells them to give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to give to God what belongs to God.

How does this apply to us today? The apostle Paul instructs us in Romans 12:1-2 to present our bodies God as a living sacrifice. As we present ourselves first to the Lord then we can walk in humility and truth toward others and toward our gov-ernment. Have you present-ed yourself to God today to be a living a sacrifice holy and acceptable to God?

Nope. Haman is bragging about all of his accomplishments and taking credit for every single promotion, possession and position. This passage offers the new insight to thankfulness I was ask-ing for. Thankfulness is not bragging to others about how much better our life is than theirs, or what honors we have received. Thankfulness is about understanding how little we deserve the good things that we have been given and giving credit to the One who blesses us anyway. Thankfulness also helps others see the blessings in their lives as gifts from God too.

How can we tell the difference? Haman gives us the key in verse 13

when he says, “But all this gives me no satisfaction as long as I see that Jew Mordecai sitting at the king’s gate.” No matter how great our blessings, brag-ging gives us no satisfaction if everyone isn’t on board with how wonderful we are. Thankfulness brings satisfaction as we understand clearly who we are in comparison to who God is. Anything and everything we have is the result of grace, offered because every heart mat-ters.

Blessings, Angie

Centuries ago the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar was warned by God in a dream he had become too pride-ful, and the prophet Daniel told him he would go through a season (seven years) of madness and live like an ani-mal until “you recognize that it is heaven that rules,” Daniel 4:26.

I suppose we are doomed to go through this political madness until we “recognize that it is heaven that rules.” Christians should disabuse themselves from the notion that politics will make America great again.

ISLAMABAD — A Christian woman who spent eight years on death row under Pakistan’s blas-phemy law was acquit-ted and ordered released Wednesday by the coun-try’s top court, a ruling that raised fears of violence by religious extremists who held angry protests over the verdict.

Asia Bibi was in an undisclosed location for her safety, and her law-yer said he expected that she would soon leave the country. France and Spain have offered asylum to the 54-year-old mother of five, who is a Roman Catholic.

Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, who had received death threats, announced the landmark verdict that fully overturned her 2010 conviction to a packed courtroom amid increased security.

Thousands of supporters of the Tehreek-e-Labbaik party, led by firebrand cleric Khadim Hussain Rizvi, took to the streets in protests, demanding Bibi’s public execution. Rizvi has turned out tens of thousands of supporters before, often forcing authorities to bow to his demands on religious matters.

Hundreds of Islamists blocked a road linking the city of Rawalpindi with the capital, Islamabad, and pro-tests were held in Karachi, Peshawar and other cit-ies. In the eastern city of Multan, police arrested several demonstrators after clashes.

Security forces moved quickly, deploying outside churches to protect minori-ty Christians and urging demonstrators elsewhere to disperse peacefully. Commandos were sent to protect Nisar and the other two judges of the Supreme Court after a cleric in the eastern city of Lahore urged religious extremists to kill them.

The outburst over the divisive blasphemy law prompted Prime Minister Imran Khan to go on nation-al TV to guarantee their safety and criticize those who made verbal attacks on Pakistan’s institutions, including his government.

“They are not serving Islam, but trying to increase their vote bank,” Khan said

of the clerics. “They are doing their politics.”

The verdict was seen as a hopeful sign by Christians in Pakistan, where the mere rumor of blasphemy can spark lynchings. Religious minorities, who have been repeatedly targeted by extremists, fear the law because it is often used to settle scores and to pres-sure minorities.

Religious extremists have made defending the law a central rallying cry and have attacked those who question it.

Salman Taseer, the gov-ernor of Punjab province, was shot and killed by one of his guards in 2011 for defending Bibi and criti-cizing the misuse of the law. The assassin, Mumtaz Qadri, was hanged for the crime, but later was hailed by religious hard-liners as a martyr, with millions visiting a shrine set up for him near Islamabad. Shahbaz Bhatti, Pakistan’s minister for minorities, was killed later that year after demanding justice for Bibi.

Bibi, who has been held in solitary confinement on death row since 2010, was accused of blasphemy after she quarreled with two fellow female farm work-ers, who refused to drink from a container used by a Christian. A few days

later, a mob accused her of insulting Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, leading to her initial conviction.

Bibi’s family and her law-yer, Saiful Malook, say she never insulted the proph-et. In previous hearings, Malook pointed to contra-dictions in testimony from witnesses. The two Muslim women who pressed charges against Bibi denied they quar-reled with her, say-ing her o u t b u r s t s a g a i n s t Islam were unprovoked despite sev-eral other w i t n e s s e s who recalled the dispute.

Chaudhry G h u l a m Mustafa, a lawyer for one of the plaintiffs, reject-ed the verdict, saying Bibi had confessed to making derogatory remarks against the prophet to seek a par-don.

The three judges upheld the blasphemy law itself, saying it was consistent with verses from Islam’s holy book, the Quran.

But they said prosecutors had failed to prove that Bibi violated the law. In addi-tion to citing the Quran,

the judges also referenced Shakespeare’s “King Lear,” saying Bibi was “more sinned against than sin-ning.”

The verdict suggested that officials could be open to demands from rights groups for stricter punish-ments for false accusations.

“If our religion of Islam comes down heavily upon commission of blasphe-

my, then Islam is also very tough a g a i n s t those who level false al legations of a crime,” they wrote.

Bibi’s hus-band praised the verdict.

“I am very happy. My c h i l d r e n are ver y happy. We

are grateful to God. We are grateful to the judges for giving us justice. We knew that she is innocent,” said Ashiq Masih.

“My wife spent so many years in jail and we hope that we will soon be togeth-er in a peaceful place,” he said.

Pakistan has about 2.5 million Christians. Along with Shiites, Ahmadis and other minorities, they have been targeted by religious

extremists.Malook said Bibi would

be secreted out of the coun-try quickly, adding that he is contemplating the same move.

“I am afraid I will have to leave Pakistan. That is the only way to save my life,” Malook said in a tele-phone interview with The Associated Press.

“The situation, I am wor-ried, will go very bad for me. I am the most soft tar-get for all these people,” he said, referring to religious extremists who he said have threatened his life.

“People say, ‘you are a brave man,’ but before this, my life was happy. ... Now I am really afraid.”

Bibi’s arrest, conviction and death sentence focused international attention on the law.

Michael Kugelman, dep-uty director of the Asia Program at the U.S.-based Wilson Center, called the ruling a “major legal mile-stone for Pakistan.”

Its significance, howev-er, should not be overstat-ed, and the power of the religiously motivated mob should not be understated, he added.

“The increasing political clout of religious hard-lin-ers, who boast the ability to mobilize in a big way, suggests that the state will be under more pressure

than ever before,” he said. “The sobering reality is that it’s not going to get any easier to push for reform, much less repeal, of the blasphemy law, despite this landmark and very brave decision by the Pakistani Supreme Court.”

The decision also was praised by the Christian minority and human rights activists.

“I salute to the honorable judges who refused to be cowed down and lit a can-dle in darkness and raised hopes in hopelessness,” said Farhatullah Babar of Pakistan’s People’s Party of Benazir Bhutto. The for-mer prime minister was killed by extremists in 2007 after she threatened to tar-get them if she returned to power.

Babar had advocated for changes to the law, mak-ing it a serious offense to wrongly accuse someone of blasphemy.

The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, a government body, said Bibi’s case “illus-trates the extent to which blasphemy laws can be exploited to target minority communities.”

Associated Press writers Kathy Gannon in Kabul, Afghanistan, Asim Tanveer in Multan, Pakistan, and Riaz Khan in Peshawar, Pakistan, contributed.

A three-point overtime loss at Bolles last year remains a vivid memory for returning Columbia players. The Tigers haven’t forgotten about it, using the defeat as extra motiva-tion as they prepare for a season finale rematch ver-sus the Bulldogs tonight.

Columbia welcomes Bolles back to Lake City for the first time since 1969 in what could be another

potential thriller between two storied programs. The Tigers enter this heavy-weight matchup riding a three-game winning streak while the Class 5A Bulldogs look to recover after falling to Ponte Vedra 42-13 on the road last week.

Columbia (8-1) hopes to earn some added momen-tum, with Bolles (6-3) being the last team that stands in the Tigers’ way before the state playoffs begin next week.

Despite closing out district play undefeated, Columbia didn’t look like heavy favorites in its last two wins, as the league champs didn’t pull away from Fletcher and First Coast until the fourth quar-

GAINESVILLE — Florida coach Mike White already considers Andrew Nembhard one of the best passers in college basket-ball, extremely high praise for a freshman.

It might be warranted.The 6-foot-5 point guard

led his high school team, Montverde Academy in nearby Orlando, to a national champion-ship and carried Canada to a silver medal

at the FIBA U18 Americas.Naturally, the Gators

have high expectations for the first five-star recruit in White’s coaching tenure. Not only do they believe he can lead then to the NCAA Tournament for a third consecutive season, they also are counting on him to replace the school’s all-time assists leader, Chris Chiozza.

“Definitely some big shoes to fill,” Nembhard said. “I’m just going to try to come in and do as much as I can to help the team win.”

Nembhard should have enough talent around to get it done.

Florida returns three starters, including lead-ing scorer Jalen Hudson, from a team that earned a No. 6 seed in the NCAA Tournament and ended the season with a three-point loss to Texas Tech in the second round. The Gators also have four holdovers from an Elite Eight appear-ance in 2017.

“We’ve got to finish,” White said. “We were very close, of course, a couple years ago. Last year, we had some highlights and some deficiencies and some lulls.

“The way we look at it is just the growth mindset, just enjoying the process and getting better every day.”

Nembhard won’t have the luxury of watching and waiting.

He’s going to play and might even start when Florida opens the sea-son Nov. 6 at rival and 17th-ranked Florida State. Coaches, teammates and Gators fans eagerly await his debut.

“He’ll have a chance to be in the conversation to be one of the better passers in college basketball,” White said. “Who knows how many assists that means, how many highlights he produces, how many min-utes he’ll play. I’m not sure. But that is his gift.

“He sees the game at a high level. He’s a split-sec-ond thinker. He’s very intelligent. Not only is he an elite passer, he’s an elite passer with size, which makes it even a little bit eas-ier for him to deliver some passes that other guys with equal vision can’t deliver.”

Florida State’s Phil Cofer dunks against Gonzaga in an NCAA Tournament regional semifinal at Staple Center on Mar. 22 in Los Angeles. Cofer could miss most or all of the Seminoles’ non-conference games after injuring his right foot in practice on Oct. 23.

Depth is the key for Florida State

By BOB FERRANTE Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE — Florida State busted brack-ets around the country with an Elite Eight run in last sea-son’s NCAA Tournament. The Seminoles surprised everyone — except perhaps themselves.

“We feel that we fell a little short last year,” coach Leonard Hamilton said. “We thought we had a chance to get to the Final Four. No one else thought we did, but that’s how we felt at the beginning of the year.”

Florida State won’t catch anyone off guard this sea-son. The No. 17 Seminoles are one of the nation’s deepest teams and return their top two scorers and rebounders. That depth will be challenged by a pre-season injury to Phil Cofer.

The senior forward is expected to miss at least six weeks after injuring his

right foot in practice on Oct. 23. Cofer, who led the Seminoles in scoring (12.8 points) and was second in rebounding (5.1), could miss most or all of the non-conference games.

“We have to make some adjustments in our rotation,” Hamilton said. “But hope-fully Phil will come back strong. Other guys will have more opportunity to get more minutes here early.”

Those opportunities will come immediately as Florida State opens with Florida on Nov. 6, will face No. 24 Purdue in November and Connecticut in December. The Seminoles also play six Atlantic Coast Conference teams that are ranked in the Top 25.

Depth has been a criti-cal piece of Florida State’s success in recent years and that will be crucial again with Cofer out. The Seminoles played portions of last season without

center Christ Koumadje (11 games) and guard P.J. Savoy (eight games), and they will need to adjust again without Cofer.

There is reason for opti-mism as the Seminoles can lean on veterans like guards Terance Mann, Trent Forrest and P.J. Savoy, Koumadje and soph-omore forwards Mfiondu Kabengele and Wyatt Wilkes.

Each player has a defined role. Mann is the “glue guy” or leader. Forrest takes over as the starting point guard. Savoy is the 3-point special-ist off the bench. Koumadje, at 7-foot-4, blocks or alters shots. Kabengele is a ver-satile stretch forward who can play multiple positions. Wilkes has refined his jump shot. Sophomore guard M.J. Walker has “figured it out,” Hamilton said, after an up-and-down freshman

Deep roster could propel Seminoles on deep postseason run.

One final impression

Bracket games

By JORDAN [email protected]

FORT WHITE — First order of business for Fort White, take care of Terry Parker.

The second step for the Indians? Sit, wait and hope the playoff bracket falls in their favor.

The Indians (7-2) host the Braves (3-6) tonight in their regular-season fina-le. Despite playing a weak Parker squad, the game is everything short of a must-win for Fort White, which is clinging to the No. 4 seed in the Region 1-3A standings with a 38.22 average.

That’s currently good enough for home field in the first round of the playoffs. But Pensacola Catholic and Taylor County aren’t far behind the Indians with 37 apiece. A Fort White loss to Parker combined with a Pensacola Catholic win over Pace and a Taylor County victory against Suwannee could provide a major shakeup in the bottom half of the brack-

et, possibly sending the Indians on the road in the opening round of the play-offs.

“Coach (Demetric) Jackson says play it like a state championship game,” Fort White linebacker Kameron Calhoun said. “Every game from now on is a state championship game. That’s how we’re treating it.”

The situation is still very fluid — the Indians were third just a week ago before Baldwin jumped them after a win over West Nassau on Monday — and a lot will also depend on how teams they’ve played this sea-son fare tonight in their contests. The amount of points you get for a win and a loss from earlier in the season can change

Fort White hopes win over Terry Parker ensures home field in playoff opener.

GYMNASTICS

Simone Biles became the first woman to win four world all-around championships, a feat she pulled off despite a handful of uncharacteristic errors to beat Japan’s Mai Murakami and American teammate Morgan Hurd by more than 1.6 points.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Use what you have learned in the past to get ahead now. Combining your skills and knowledge to fit into a position that is fast growing and in demand will help stabilize your future and ease your stress. ★★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ve got more options than you realize. Look for the opportunity that allows you to do the things you enjoy doing most. Sometimes it’s not about money; it’s about keeping your sanity. A little romance will be good for the soul. ★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Think before you act. Emotions will rise to the surface, putting you on shaky ground when dealing with matters that concern your income. Get the work done before you take on personal situations or past griev-ances. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Find a way to improve your personal life, image and relationships. Be inno-vative and eager to start something new and exciting. Don’t live in fear of what might happen when you should be making things happen. ★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Listen to grievances and respond with com-

passion, but don’t feel the need to take over. Offer solutions, but do not take on a task that doesn’t belong to you, or you will end up being accused of meddling. ★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Share your emotions with the people you love or are concerned about. Your words will have an impact on what others do and say. Personal growth and change will lead to greater happiness. Romance is high-lighted and will improve your life. ★★★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Responsibilities will mount if you let others take advantage of you. Learn to say no before you end up exhaust-ed. Plan to take time out to relax and enjoy the company of someone who shares your interests. ★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep in mind what others may be going through before you make a snap decision or judgment call. Patience will be necessary if you are going to resolve pending problems. Use your imagination when trying to solve a dilemma. ★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Keep situations in perspective, even if someone uses manipulative

tactics to throw you off guard. If someone overreacts, walk away. Deception and disillusionment are apparent when dealing with friends, peers and relatives. Choose your words wisely. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Why wait? The time is right to push forward with your plans. Network and participate in events that will broaden your outlook and help you expand your friendships and associations with like-minded people. Personal change will make you feel good. ★★★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Work quietly behind the scenes perfecting whatever it is you want to accomplish. The less you deal with outsiders, the easier it will be to finish what you start. Avoid anyone who tends to be a bad influence on you. ★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep your emotions in check and your thoughts on being produc-tive. Refuse to let what others do stand between you and the suc-cess you deserve. A personal gain is heading your way, and travel plans and educational pursuits are favored. ★★

DEAR ABBY: My mom recently passed away at 91. She had a great life and went peacefully at home in bed during the night. I took charge of her medical care and finances after Dad died 10 years ago.

After mom’s funeral, my brother insisted he would move into her house while he remodeled it, which could tie up the house for a year. It made no sense to me. I am Mom’s executor, and I felt it was unfair to me and my other brother. When I said no, he got really angry, accused me of many mean, untrue things and announced that he disowned me. I responded that I love him and he will always be my brother, but it was his choice.

The pain of losing my mom and my brother has been awful. Now I’m work-ing to sell the house, and he interferes and is mean every step of the way. But I have to move ahead and do my job. I don’t respond to anything negative he writes. Have you some advice on how to repair our relationship? Maybe if he saw it in print he would realize we are family and none of this is helpful to any of us. — DOUBLE LOSS IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR DOUBLE LOSS: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your mother. If it’s any comfort, estate problems like you’re experiencing aren’t all that unusual. Not knowing your brother or the degree to which he is self-centered, I’m having trouble understanding his overreaction. Was he des-perate for a place to stay for a year?

I wish you had men-tioned what your other brother thinks about this regrettable situation and whether he, too, was

disowned. If he and your angry sibling are on speak-ing terms, perhaps he can help to mend fences. And hold a good thought. Sometimes time heals these kinds of wounds, once grief lessens and people regain their per-spective.

DEAR ABBY: “Addicted in Kansas City” (Aug. 24) asked you for secular alternatives to Alcoholics Anonymous. There are parts of your response that I feel need clarification.

First of all, AA doesn’t require lifetime attendance at meetings. AA doesn’t “require” anything. (The third tradition states the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.) Regular attendance at meetings is encouraged but certainly not a requirement. Many people continue to go to meetings one or more times a week, while others stop or go only occasional-ly after a period of time.

The other point is tougher — and perhaps more subtle. AA encour-ages individuals trying to get sober to find a “God of their own understanding,” a Higher Power, something bigger than themselves. Many agnostics and athe-ists get and stay sober in AA.

AA is a spiritual pro-gram, not a religious one. This can be a difficult concept for people who are just coming in (and a great

reason not to stay). That’s one of the reasons AA encourages anyone new to attend different meetings, if possible, and check out other groups. In many cities there are meetings expressly for atheists and other nonbelievers. — SOBER AND HAPPY IN ATLANTA

DEAR SOBER: Thank you for writing to clarify this. However, there are different programs (differ-ent strokes for different folks), which is why I also encourage anyone trying to achieve sobriety to research and explore the alternatives.

Teacher weighs reaching out to jailed ex-student

DEAR ABBY: Twelve years ago, I taught a boy I’ll call Brandon in my first-grade class. I was very fond of him, and we had a strong connection. I knew Brandon had a tough home life and did my best to provide him a safe place in my classroom. I stayed in contact with his aunt over the years on social media because she had been a co-worker of my mother’s, and we would occasionally discuss how Brandon was doing.

As he grew older, he began to associate with a bad crowd. He got in more and more trouble at school and eventually dropped out. A few months later, he was sent to prison for a violent crime.

His aunt has asked me to send Brandon a letter because he had always thought so much of me as his teacher. Without giving it much thought, I agreed.

Well, my husband is very opposed to the idea of me contacting Brandon.

We have two young chil-dren with special needs, and I’m now a stay-at-home mom so I can help my children. My husband thinks I’m already dealing with too much stress, and he doesn’t like the idea of a man who has been con-victed of violence being in contact with me.

I am torn about what’s the right thing to do. I feel like I am abandoning Brandon like so many others in his life, but I also see my husband’s point. Abby, please help me to decide what to do. — CONFLICTED IN ILLINOIS

DEAR CONFLICTED: I think you should write Brandon ONE letter of encouragement. In it, tell him how highly you thought of him when he was in your class because he probably hasn’t received many compli-ments for a long time.

Point out that although he is physically incarcer-ated, his mind doesn’t have to be, and suggest he direct his efforts toward improving his life once he is released. Furthering his education now would be a way to accomplish it, and if there’s an opportunity for him to earn a degree while he’s inside, he should take it. Also, if there are any books you or his aunt think he might find helpful or inspiring, recommend them.

Close your letter by explaining to Brandon that you have no time for cor-respondence now because you are caring for two special-needs children, but you did want to reach out this once and you will keep him in your prayers.

KEYS FOR LSU

Pressure TuaTago-vailoa:Alabama’s HeismanTrophy candidate quar-terback has gone virtuallyuntouched through eightgameswhile putting upvideo-game numbers. TheTigers will need to bring theblitzes and risk giving up afew big plays to disrupt theHawaiian passer’s rhythm.Run the ball:The Tigers

are averaging 190 yards pergame on the ground andthis Crimson Tide defenseis allowing an uncharac-teristic 113-plus against therun. LSU needs to sustain

drives to keep Alabama’soffense on the sideline, andthis is the best way to do it.

KEYS FORALABAMA

Strike first:Alabama hasscored on every opening drivethis season and has beenremarkably consistent in run-ning up points early in games.It will be loud and rowdy inDeath Valley, and an earlylead for the visitors could takesome starch out of the crowd.Beat up Burrow: LSU has

given up 18 sacks and Ala-bama leads the SEC in bring-ing down the quarterback,averaging 3.25 sacks per game.

The Crimson Tide needs torough up Joe Burrow to forcehim into hasty decisions andbad throws. The pass rushwill be a key for Alabama.

PREDICTION

Alabama 34, LSU 17:LSU’s best bet is to try to takethe air out of the ball andmakethis an ugly game rather thana high-scoring shootout, thenhope it canmake key paysin the final 15minutes. Ala-bamawon’t be able to scoreat will as it has all season,but the defending nationalchampions are too potent tocontain for four quarters.

GAMEOFTHEWEEK NO. 1 ALABAMA (8-0, 5-0) AT NO. 4 LSU (7-1, 4-1)

When: 8 p.m. EDT Saturday Where: Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge, La. TV: CBS

POWERRANKINGS Breaking down the SEC

1. Alabama (8-0):While Baton Rouge ragedall week, Tuscaloosa was quiet. Tua quiet.

2. LSU (7-1): The first time Alabamatackles a Tiger player on Saturday, you’llhear “Dat’s targeting!!!” from Slidell toShreveport.

3. Georgia (7-1): Georgia can clinch the SECEast on Saturday in Lexington. Sounds easy.Might not be.

4. Kentucky (7-1): The Wildcats have beento a lot of Final Fours, but never in football… until now.

5. Mississippi State (5-3): If MSU can geta solid performance from Nick Fitzgerald,State’s big men up front can do the rest.

6. Florida (6-2): Dan Mullen can coach butnow has to focus on recruiting. Georgia hadmore dudes and more quarterbacks.

7. Texas A&M (5-3): Suddenly, the Aggies’game against Auburn is a real battlefor the title of West Division’s BiggestDisappointment.

8. Auburn (5-3): On the other hand, lots ofAU fans will be disappointed if Gus isn’t theBiggest Disappointment after all.

9. South Carolina (4-3): Their season hasbeen as dull as a documentary on the seaurchin, but the Gamecocks are ploddingaway.

10. Missouri (4-4): Somehow Mizzou wasref-jobbed out of a win over Kentucky thatit hadn’t earned in the first place (zerosecond-half first downs), a rare feat.

11. Ole Miss (5-3):Will they be servingroasted Gamecock in The Grove on Satur-day? Probably cold shark dip instead.

12. Tennessee (3-5): Hopefully JeremyPruitt’s dad will call him by Tuesday nightthis week.

13. Vanderbilt (4-5): The Commodores madea statement at Arkansas on Saturday. Nosinking to the bottom this year.

14. Arkansas 2-7): Time for Chad Morris tolook at the Razorback roster and decidewhat will help in 2019.

A game equally asimportant as Alabama-LSU willcome in Kentucky’s biggest gamein years when it hosts Georgia forthe SEC East title. It’s likely beingoverlooked partly because Georgiais expected to win big and partlybecause it’s not Kentucky basket-ball. But still, it’s a big game.

LOUISIANA TECH (6-2) AT NO. 21MISSISSIPPI STATE (5-3, 2-3)When: 7:30 p.m. SaturdayWhere: Starkville, Miss.TV: SEC NetworkNotes:Mississippi State is comingoff its most impressive win of theseason when it rolled past TexasA&M last week. But rememberwhen the Cajun Bulldogs onlytrailed LSU 24-21 in the fourthquarter earlier this season? This isnot a game for Mississippi State tolook past despite Alabama comingup the following week.

ASSOCIATED PRESS]

a school-record 571 assists, including 208 as a senior. He also averaged 11.1 points and 4.3 rebounds last season, and finished with 38 3-pointers and 65 steals.

Hudson and shooting guard KeVaughn Allen will be asked to fill the void, although some of it will fall to Nembhard.

“We play slightly different, but I feel like I can come in and help the team in a dif-ferent way,” Nembhard said. “I need to be more vocal as a leader on the court and just kind of talk to my guys. That’s probably the biggest challenge for me.”

Here are some other things to know about Florida:

FRESHMAN CLASSShooting guard Noah

Locke and forward Keyontae Johnson also

are part of Florida’s fresh-man class. White expects both to have bench roles immediately.

“I think we could be deep,” White said. “If we get everybody healthy, we could have really healthy competition out there in practice, which helps you become a better team. ... I’m not saying we’re going to be a great team by any stretch, but I can’t tell you one of the 13 (players) that I just know is not going to

play. That’s a good problem to have.”

FRONTCOURT HELPFlorida struggled down

the stretch last season, partly because opponents took advantage of the team’s frontcourt woes.

Center John Egbunu (knee) and forward Isaiah Stokes (knee) missed the entire year. Chase Johnson (concussion) missed most of the season. And center Gorjok Gak played limited

minutes because of knee soreness and swelling.

Stokes, Johnson and Gak are healthy now, giving the Gators plenty of depth behind Kevarrius Hayes and Keith Stone.

“I do expect to be deeper,” White said. “”Got a chance to be deep in the frontcourt.”

TOUGH SLATEFlorida faces another

tough schedule, with non-conference games against the Seminoles, No.

13 West Virginia, No. 10 Michigan State and No. 20 TCU. The SEC slate includes No. 2 Kentucky twice, No. 6 Tennessee twice, No. 11 Auburn, No. 18 Mississippi State and No. 23 LSU.

“Ridiculous. It’s just ridic-ulous,” White said. “The state of the SEC in terms of basketball is off the charts right now. Our non-confer-ence is a bear, and it gets even more difficult as we move into league play.”

season.The Seminoles could

be one of the longshots to watch in the ACC. Even without Cofer in the early portion of the season, Hamilton feels that the Seminoles win games by committee.

“Right now if I had to pick a starting lineup, I’d say I

have a starting eight, but I’m going to have a starting nine or 10,” Hamilton said. “We feel like the strength of our team is in our numbers.”

Some other things to watch this season:

WALKER TAKING STEP FORWARD

M.J. Walker had bright spots but also low points in an inconsistent freshman season. The 6-5 Walker dropped 24 points in a road win over Virginia Tech but

also frequently saw his 3-point shot miss the mark.

Walker has shown signs of going from a contributor off the bench to a potential starter.

“I have been unbeliev-ably pleased with the prog-ress he’s made from his freshman year to his sopho-more year,” Hamilton said. “He’s a great youngster who gave us a tremendous lift offensively last year, but he was trying to fig-ure it out, and I think he’s

figured it out. His defense has been outstanding. He’s playing with an extreme amount of confidence.”

NICHOLS COULD DROP DIMES

Florida State has only had two graduate transfers in men’s basketball. David Nichols, who played three seasons at Albany, is the first since Jeff Peterson joined the Seminoles in 2011-12.

Nichols, a 6-1 guard, accumulated 1,092 points in

his sophomore and junior seasons at Albany. He also averaged 3.5 assists in 2017-18. Nichols could be a sixth man off the bench or play in a three-guard lineup.

RISING STARKabengele hardly looks

like the raw prospect who had to redshirt in 2016-17 as he began to reshape his body. The 6-foot-10 Kabengele dropped 19 pounds and made the most of his 14 minutes per game

in 2017-18, contributing 7.2 points and 4.6 rebounds.

The nephew of for-mer NBA star Dikembe Mutombo has been fine-tun-ing his ball handling and 3-point shot, viewing him-self as a valuable piece of the Seminoles’ season.

“My goal is to be the leading rebounder on this team,” Kabengele said. “Be a rebounder, be a post scorer, be a great screener. Because when I set good screens I get open.”

CHS BASSMASTERS

Columbia High took five of its team members to compete in the Florida BassNation Pro Am State Tournament this past weekend on the St. John’s River. In this event, a high-schooler is paired with an adult angler and they combine for individual points. Columbia’s Seth Slanker (above) took first place.

Slanker wins Florida BassNation Pro Am State Tournament

week to week because teams’ winning percentages are constantly changing.

The Indians hope the points fall in their favor on Sunday when the playoff bracket is revealed and they get to stay home at Arrowhead Stadium for next week’s play-off game. They also know a win tonight can go a long way towards accomplishing that goal.

It’s been pretty simple this week at Fort White — control what you can control and that starts with a win over Parker.

“We feel we’re going to end up play-ing Pensacola Catholic,” Jackson said. “Baldwin won (Monday) and they’ve got Paxton (tonight) so I don’t see them losing to Paxton. They’re going to end up three and we’ll end up four. But if Pensacola Catholic wins against Pace then they can jump us and then we’ll have to travel to Pensacola. But they have to win and like three things have to happen for them. We want to be home.”

Fort White is aiming for its fifth straight win and enters tonight’s matchup as heavy favorites against Parker, which has strug-gled to score points this season. The Braves haven’t scored more than 14 points in any of their losses this season and their three wins are against teams with a com-bined record of 4-22.

Last year’s contest wasn’t even close, with Fort White blowing Parker out

63-35. But the Indians aren’t taking the Braves lightly despite their recent woes, instead focused on playing one final complete game before heading into the postseason.

“We’re going into the game with a mindset of just treating it like any other game,” Fort White defensive back Izaya Latham said. “Every game counts. We have to come in, play our football and take care of business.”

Parker’s offense has shown flashes at times this season. The Braves have been impressive in their three wins, scoring 49 against Wolfson, 50 against Andrews Jackson and 34 against Westside. They even went toe-to-toe with Bolles for a half before getting blown out 56-12.

Jackson isn’t letting his team overlook Parker one bit. He expects the Braves to come out fired up, especially since it’s homecoming night for the Indians.

“Terry Parker scares you,” Jackson said. “They have some athletes, and they have guys that can make some plays. They got beat by Bolles 56-12 but it was 21-12 at halftime so they played Bolles well. Then they turn around in their last game against Westside and, even though they beat Westside (34-19), they looked like a completely different team. The fact that they’re a bigger school and we’ve got them for homecoming, that’s going to fire them up. And we put up 63 points on them last year so they’re going to be motivated. They’re going to play well, but if we come out and don’t do anything stu-pid like turn the ball over and penalties, we should beat them.”

ter. So tonight the Tigers strive to end the regular season on a strong note, and prove why they’ve been deemed the No. 2 team in Class 7A.

“I think we have a group that knows they’re a good football team,” Columbia coach Brian Allen said. “With that, I think it’s a little bit more difficult at times to get up for teams that aren’t going to chal-lenge you to play your best football. At this point, when you’re in the play-offs, the adage of ‘best team is the next team’, yeah, I can say that, but in the playoffs there’s a little more to that. It’s win or go home in the postseason. If we don’t get it done, we’re going home. You don’t get another week to watch film and get better. I just want them to live in the moment, to cherish it.”

Columbia is set for its eighth-straight playof f appearance, but not before one last squabble with the Bulldogs Friday night – a

final evaluation of sorts for the Tigers.

Columbia quarterback Jordan Smith and run-ning back Kylen Callum combined for four touch-downs last week. Both playmakers could have another solid night versus the Bulldogs, who’ve sur-rendered over 40 points in two of their three losses. A little more consisten-cy on offense could bode well for the Tigers enter-ing the playoffs.

“We’re at 90 percent right now,” wide receiver Jaden Williams said of the offense. “We still got some room to improve … We got to takeover. Defense has had some up and downs [too] but we always got to stay up.”

Columbia’s defense looks to bounce back after giving up 273 rushing yards in last year’s meet-ing with Bolles. And the Bulldogs are equipped again with a stable of backs, including seniors Jayden McCloud and Keyion Wale Onasanya. Columbia’s front-seven has been stout, but will be tested yet again against this rushing-attack.

“They’re going to try to

run it on us,” said linebacker Ethan Umstead, who tallied 18 tackles in last year’s meet-ing. “But whenever we stop it, like we should, [Bolles] is going to try to spread it out, and that’s not their game. If we stop the run, they don’t got nothing.”

Coach Allen stressed to his team this week the importance of soaking up these memories as nothing is guaranteed after Friday night. More than ever the Tigers need to lock in, he said, and focus on the little things that can make or break you.

“Attention to detail in the small things,” the eighth-year coach added. “I think they’re getting it, because it’s being pointed out. Even for me, some things I’ve let slide this season to put more emphasis on something just as simple as taking out an extra step in [the quarterback’s] drop that’s puts the ball on time or gives the receiv-er a better opportunity to beat a defender and score. We are trying to pinpoint the small things… All those fine details are being homed in on at this point of the season.”
