Our View

CMSD’s lack of communication on some stories is troubling

When Cherie Labat took
over as superintendent at
Columbus Municipal School
District, the people of Colum-
bus viewed it as a fresh start
and a new path for the school
district after the troubled
tenure of Philip Hickman,
a four-year series of self-in-
flicted wounds, mistrust and
evasions.
While the spirit of opti-
mism continues under Labat’s
leadership, we are disap-
pointed by what we fear is the
beginning of an all-too-famil-
iar lack of communication
between the superintendent
and the citizens who have en-
trusted to her care the future
of our schoolchildren.
For the second time in less
than a month, Labat has been
evasive after being asked
about the employment status
of a district employee. In Oc-
tober, Labat would not clearly
confirm the employment
status of long-time deputy su-
perintendent Craig Shannon.
In fact, an answer she gave
this paper was technically
correct but misleading.
Over the weekend, the
same scenario repeated itself
with another high-profile
position in the school district.
On Friday, Columbus High
School football completed a
winless season with a 33-0
loss to Hernando. Conspic-
uous by his absence at the
game was first-year head
coach Eric Rice, who, accord-
ing to Falcons players, was
not at practice in the days
leading up to the game.
Over the weekend, Labat
did not respond to repeated
efforts by The Dispatch to
clarify Rice’s status.
Today, we still don’t know
if Rice remains as coach,
has been terminated or has
resigned.
While we understand the
sensitive nature of person-
nel issues, Labat’s complete
silence on both incidents is
alarming.
There is nothing improper
or unfair in confirming the
status of a district employee.
In fact, we believe as the face
of the district, the superinten-
dent has a responsibility to
share that information with
citizens.
When even that kind of
basic information is withheld,
it creates a climate of rumor
and innuendo that benefits
no one – not the employee in
question, the school district,
the superintendent and cer-
tainly not the public, which
has a reasonable expectation
to know when key changes
are made.
We are not asking Labat
to compromise her respon-
sibilities as superintendent
by violating policy. We are
asking her to fulfill that re-
sponsibility.
Keeping the public in the
dark about these high-profile
decisions undermines public
confidence.
Labat has worked hard to
rebuild trust in CMSD, so we
hope that she will see that
communication between her
in the public is important
not only for positive district
stories but the more sensitive
ones too.
It’s part of the job. In fact,
it’s an essential part of the
job.

Choice of
words matters
Every life matters. The
environmentalists or ecolo-
gists would say, this particu-

to humans, but we shouldn’t

ecosystem is important. In
other words, everything
matters to the environment
and thus matters to humans.

other.
In the wild, animals
typically do not kill one of their own. They may fight,
but they don’t kill each other. Humans kill each other
frequently.
While many things matter, the influence by our
leadership obviously matters very much. That’s why I
say words matter, gesture matters, voice matters and
choice of words matter. If you see Hitler’s speeches -

Voters talk immigration, an ‘out-of-control’ Congress, Trump

The Associated Press
It’s Election Day in America, and
voters will deliver their first verdict of
President Donald Trump’s tumultuous
tenure in a midterm that’s expected to
draw historic numbers to the polls.
Immigration, the economy, women’s
issues, partisanship — all weighed heav-
ily on voters’ minds as they cast ballots
to decide control of Congress and put
Trumpism to the test. Though not on the
ballot, the president looms large over de-
cision day, among both supporters and
detractors. Across the country, people
are talking about this election as one of
the most momentous in their lifetimes
— a fight for the very soul of America.
Here’s what some of them had to say.
Washington “out of control”?
Bonnie Slade, a 45-year-old federal
employee who lives in Potomac, Mary-
land, said politics in the nearby nation’s
capital shaped her vote this year. “Wash-
ington is out of control,” she said. “The
politics are kind of dirty always, but this
time is a bit much ... like do I want to
vote? Does it really make a difference?
But I felt like it’s my duty.” Slade, who is
black, said Trump was part of what mo-
tivated her to vote. “He doesn’t stand for
anything that I believe in, period,” Slade
said. “I’m a minority. I’m a woman. And
he’s just not the best choice for me, per-
sonally, or my family.”
Keith Lesage, a 50-year-old design
engineer in Plainfield, Connecticut, said
he’s focused more on state issues but is
concerned by the division he sees in the
country. “It’s horrible, some of the rhet-
oric that’s coming out of Washington.
I’m not picking on Republicans or Dem-
ocrats, but we’re all adults. Let’s come
together for the American people — not
this is what the red side wants, this is
what the blue side wants. It’s getting
to the point where it’s just dividing the
country, and it’s real sad to watch.”
Stay the economic course
Richard and Aleshia Murphy took
their 7-month-old daughter when they
voted early in suburban Los Angeles.
The couple, who moved seven months
ago from Reno, Nevada, to Lakewood,
California, said the economy was fore-
most on their minds. “I want to keep
things going,” said Richard, a Republi-
can train operations manager. “My work
feels the booming economy. We’re hir-
ing more people, all positions, from the
bottom to the top.” Both Murphy and his
wife, an independent, voted for Trump in
2016 and like where the country’s head-
ed. “I’d rather have somebody who’s go-
ing to come off as a complete jerk — but
you know exactly what they’re thinking
because they have no filter — than a
slick-haired politician that literally tells
you anything you want to hear just so
that you support them,” Aleshia Murphy
said.
Republican Susan Riebold, a 53-year-
old who owns a home-building business
in Imperial, Missouri, describes herself
as a nationalist and calls Trump’s tariffs
“amazing.” She said business in Impe-
rial, south of St. Louis, is thriving, and
she decried Democrats — including
Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill — for
voting against the recent tax overhaul.
“Trump has fought for the middle class
and the small businesses, and Claire vot-
ed against everything that is benefiting
us in the middle class,” Riebold said.
“The country is more strong, confident
and unified than it’s ever been, and most
of the confidence and people feeling uni-
fied and patriotic again has come right
before Trump got in and since he’s been
in.”
At odds over immigration
Rachel Geiger’s purple hair matched
her black and purple dress and helped
her stand out among hundreds of people
waiting to get into an arena in Orlando,
Florida, where U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders
spoke ahead of the election on behalf
of Florida’s Democratic gubernatorial
nominee. Geiger, 33, a blogger from Oc-
ala, Florida, said “Trump and immigra-
tion” were the two motivating issues for
her when she early-voted. “It’s complete-
ly inhumane what he’s doing,” she said,
referring to policies that have included
sending troops to the border, separating
immigrant children from their parents
and efforts to build a wall. She voted a
straight Democratic ticket.
Jennifer Rager, 55, of Bozeman, Mon-
tana, said she feels safer since Trump
became president. “It just feels like he’s
really trying to do a good job of protect-
ing our country, you know? I can’t wrap
my head around why the other side is so
unhappy and so terrified.” Rager is espe-
cially worried about the migrant caravan
heading toward the U.S. border. “This
whole thing with this caravan is pretty
scary. There’s a right way and a wrong
way to (immigrate). So I feel like we defi-
nitely need protection.”
#MeToo still on minds
Lea Grover, 34, a mother of three
young daughters in Cary, Illinois, sees
the midterms as a referendum on Trump
and “a referendum on empathy, and
whether or not we as a nation have any.”
Grover, a former independent and now a
registered Democrat, was particularly
outraged by the hearings over Supreme
Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who
faced allegations of sexual misconduct.
“The Kavanaugh hearings were so up-
setting, for every woman I know, not just
because of Kavanaugh specifically but
because it was an opportunity for the en-
tire Republican establishment to say (to
women), ‘We don’t care. Not: ‘We don’t
believe you,’ but ‘we don’t care.’” Grover
is a victim of sexual violence and works
for a nonprofit that helps survivors. “My
congressman has refused to speak out
in defense of survivors of sexual vio-
lence. He refused to speak out against
Brett Kavanaugh. He refused to speak
out against the president. He has been
utterly silent in the face of MeToo.”
Natalie Pig, a 31-year-old attorney in
Arnold, Missouri, said she’d back Re-
publican candidates because she wants
to see Congress do more to support
Trump. She cited what she called the
“smear campaign” against Kavanaugh,
calling him “a victim of the current po-
litical environment.” ‘’If there are facts
that someone has committed a crime,
I’m the first person to want to hear all
about that,” she said. “But at the same
time, if we’re taking measures to slander
someone or defame them in a way that is
going to inhibit the American process,
then that’s not helping us. So we need
people who are going to support Presi-
dent Trump.”
A test of Trumpism
Morris Lee Williams, a 67-year-old
member of Zion Travelers Missionary
Baptist Church in St. Louis and an Army
veteran, said he’s worried the country
“is going down the tubes.” ‘’We’ve for-
gotten our decency. We’ve forgotten the
truth. We’re supposed to be a group of
people, Americans, who are supposed
to be that light in the world. Instead of
a light, it’s turned into a nightmare.”
Williams said Trump is the catalyst “for
a lot of crazy stuff going on, inciting peo-
ple into hatred, to doing things that go
against what this country stands for. It’s
just so divisive. It’s almost as if he wants
the country to go back to the way it was
in the 1920s and before. Everybody’s got
their place and a certain group of people
rule. ... This is supposed to be a place
where if you have the desire, the edu-
cation, the guts and the fortitude to do
better, you can do better.”
If the midterm elections are a referen-
dum on Trump, then Patricia Maynard,
a 63-year-old retired teacher in Skow-
hegan, Maine, is clear: “I think he’s do-
ing a great job. ... He’s doing better than
I expected. I’m not saying that I always
like his rhetoric; I wince when I hear that.
But I feel like he really loves this country
and has a good head on his shoulders as
far as his ability to get things done.” She
goes on: “I think he’s very capable and
very smart, a lot smarter than people
think he is. Some people think he is too
high and mighty to get along with the
common people, but I think that’s where
he feels most comfortable, with average
people. And he feels their pain.”

Possible tornado damages parts of Tupelo

The Associated Press
TUPELO — Emergency crews
have begun assessing damage from
a possible tornado in Tupelo, Mis-
sissippi.
The Northeast Mississippi Dai-
ly Journal reports areas of the city
were closed off late Monday as de-
bris, downed trees and power lines
blocked roadways. Tupelo Commu-
nications Director Leesha Faulkner
says there was a gas leak in a res-
idential area of the city and power
outages have been reported.
Forecasters predicted severe
weather would move across the
southeastern United States late
Monday into early Tuesday.
The Storm Prediction Center
said powerful tornadoes, damaging
winds and heavy rains were possi-
ble overnight through northeastern
Louisiana and Tennessee. That in-
cludes northern Mississippi and
northwestern Alabama.
This follows severe storms that
were blamed for two deaths in the
Gulf Coast area last week.

Angela Bluitt, who
teaches Coding Academy
students soft skills —
such as interviewing, fi-
nancial management and
writing skills — collabo-
rated with Labat to bring
22 coders into the elemen-
tary classrooms later this
month. Bluitt has been
working with coders on
creating lesson plans and
instructional material for
each classroom.
Labat added the part-
nership with the coding
academy benefits both
the students at CMSD and
the coders.
“We had the coding
academy and it was some-
thing we couldn’t wait on
because we had the talent
of the coding academy,
the resources with the
academy and the funds
to make it happen,” Labat
said. “(The coders) have
the opportunity to take
the high application of
what they’ve learned and
really scaffold it down to
a second-grader. When
you know something well
you’re able to say it in the
simplest terms. They are
very excited about teach-
ing our students about
coding.”
Bluitt said the coders
will start teaching the sec-
ond-graders the coding
basics by using “coding
toys” to spark students’
interest in coding and
STEM. Though the cod-
ers will only spend one
week with the district,
they will give teachers
materials and projects
to implement coding
throughout the year. The
crash course on coding
will use the robots CMSD
purchased to teach stu-
dents simple coding tech-
niques with a hands-on
experience.
“We want them to get
the exposure early,” Blu-
itt said. “If we present it
to them at their level, in
an exciting and inviting
way, ... they want more,
and they want to continue
that, instead of waiting
until they’ve already cre-
ated those biases, espe-
cially girls, that math and
sciences are too hard. So
we can spark and initiate
a stronger thirst for the
STEM subjects.”
Labat added the part-
nership is in the early
stages but hopes to even-
tually extend coding into
all classrooms at CMSD.
“It’s been an awesome
collaboration because ev-
eryone is winning,” Labat
said. “The students are
winning. The teachers
are winning, the program-
mers are getting appli-
cations and taking their
skills and developing
students. It’s just a great
partnership. We want to
make sure we support all
students in technology,
and especially young girls
in STEM initiatives. En-
couraging those students
to not be afraid of failing.
That’s the biggest part of
the STEM initiative, fail-
ure is a part of success.”
CLW Executive Direc-
tor Todd Gale said this
was a perfect opportunity
for the utility and TVA to
invest in the community’s
future.
“TVA looks to step in
and help schools in cer-
tain situations,” Gale said.
“We went and visited the
school district and (La-
bat) had this idea of using
robots for education in
coding. We’re just trying
to assist, anything we
can do to help our future
workforce and hopefully
better their education.”

expecting many surprises
in the federal elections for
the Republican-dominat-
ed state.
The three-way U.S.
Senate race for Thad Co-
chran’s former seat be-
tween Cindy Hyde-Smith,
Chris McDaniel and Mike
Espy could be intriguing,
Emmerich said.
He said he expects
Hyde-Smith and Espy
will move to a runoff, with
Hyde-Smith, who was ap-
pointed to serve as sena-
tor after Cochran retired
last year, ultimately claim-
ing victory.
Emmerich added he’s
not sure how well Mc-
Daniel, a Republican can-
didate who nearly bested
Cochran in 2014’s Senate
race, will perform. He
cited McDaniel’s suing
10,000 “crossover voters”
— Democrat voters who
he claims swayed a runoff
election against him — as
a possible sore sticking
point.
“I’m not sure he’s go-
ing to do as well this time,
but we don’t know,” Em-
merich said. “He’s pick-
ing up a lot of support
and there seems to be
some momentum. I think
he made a mistake when
he sued all the crossover
voters in the last election.
He looked like a sore los-
er and that doesn’t go over
well in Mississippi.”
On the whole, Emmer-
ich said he’s interested to
see how today’s U.S. Sen-
ate and House of Repre-
sentatives elections play
out across the country.
He said political power
in America tends to go
back and forth between
parties, and it wouldn’t be
surprising to see Demo-
crats make gains.
“What will happen in
this election?” he asked.
“We don’t know. General-
ly, the opposing party of
the president usually does
well in the midterms.
That may happen — we
don’t know.”
Changes in Mississippi
Emmerich said Mis-
sissippi is in the middle
of one of the best runs of
growth in its history. How-
ever, he spoke about some
changes he feels need to
happen in Mississippi to
help the state continue to
improve.
He said the state’s
procurement laws, which
control how governments
obtain services from pri-
vate contractors, need to
be strengthened.
“Most states, you have
to be the lowest respon-
sive bidder, meaning you
have to respond to the
specifications of the bid
proposal and you have to
have the lowest price,”
he said. “In Mississippi
it’s not lowest responsive,
it’s lowest and best. Well,
‘best’ is really kind of a
vague term — ‘Best, well
you know he’s my broth-
er-in-law, so that makes
his bid the best.’ There’s a
lot of that going on.”
Emmerich said the
state Legislature made
some strides toward
strengthening Mississip-
pi’s procurement laws in
this year’s regular legisla-
tive session — such as the
creation of a consolidated
procurement board. How-
ever, he said those chang-
es currently only apply to
the state level and need to
make their way down to
city and county govern-
ments.
Mississippi’s state
flag, he said, should also
change. He said that
would be an easy change
that would remove what
other parts of the country
view as a negative.
“It’s just a big PR neg-
ative thing,” he said. “It
doesn’t cost any money
to change the flag and it
gives us a bad image with
the rest of the country. We
need that capital — we
need that capital coming
in here.”

PREP PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Columbus’ White makes statement in opener
By Adam Minichino
aminichino@cdispatch.com
Hannah White had a feeling
Saturday was going to be a good day.
It didn’t take hearing a song or an
encouraging word from a classmate to
make the Columbus High School stand-
out feel like she was going to do well in
the team’s season opener against Can-
ton at the Tigerland Classic.
“I even told one of my uncles I
think am going to have 50 points,”
White said.
White didn’t quite hit her mark,
but she came pretty close.
The senior guard poured in 30
points and had 10 rebounds to lead
Columbus to a 53-44 victory. The ef-
fort showcased the versatility White
hopes to parlay into a “legendary” fi-
nal season with the Lady Falcons.
For her accomplishment, White
is The Dispatch’s Prep Player of the
Week.
“I felt ready to play,” White said. “I
know every game I am going to have
to earn everything I get. I felt really
good. I felt we were going to win and
that I could play really good.”
White said the game started
slowly and she found herself in foul
trouble. Still, she had that recur-
ring feeling she was going to have
a good game by the third time she
went to the free-throw line. She said
she tried not to disrupt her positive
vibes and stayed aggressive.
“If I let up, they were going to
come attack me,” said White, who
faced a box-and-one.
White, who likely will be a mem-
ber of The Clarion-Ledger’s Dandy
Dozen, which recognizes the state’s
top players, can handle the basket-
ball, score from the perimeter and
the block, and create her own shot.
She has grown accustomed to be-
ing denied the basketball and dou-
ble-teamed as her skills have blos-
somed the last two seasons. With
everyone back from the 2017-18
squad, White feels this year’s team
can accomplish big things.
“Teams think they can win by
trying to stop everything I do,”
White said, “but we have a whole
bunch of other players.
“I want everybody to remember
Hannah White. I think we can ac-
complish a state championship this
year. We all believe in each other.”
Columbus coach Yvonne Hair-
ston believes in White and the rest
of the Lady Falcons, too. She cred-
ited White for following through on
her initial good feelings.
“She has really put in the work,”
Hairston said. “She works hard all of
the time. I always tell her practice is
the hard thing and the game is the
easy thing. She is buying into that.” Adam Minichino/Dispatch Staff

to the Atlantic Sun Conference
champion Bison at 4 p.m. Friday
at the MSU Soccer Field.
Earlier in the season, MSU
reached its highest ranking
in the NCA A’s RPI when it de-
buted at No. 2. The Bulldogs
also played the toughest sched-
ule. Victories against Memphis
(5-2) and South Carolina (2-1)
were the highlights in a regu-
lar season that saw redshirt se-
nior Rhylee DeCrane break the
school’s single-season shutout
record (eight). MSU allowed 16
goals and the defense held op-
ponents to 11.6 shots per game,
which is the lowest mark in pro-
gram history for both catego-
ries.
“They put the work in, they
good people,” Anagnost said.
“When you have those things,
good things happen.”
MSU was one of nine teams
from the SEC to make the NCAA
tournament. The nine matched a
record the league set last season. It
is the 11th time in the last 12 sea-
sons the SEC has had at least six
teams advance to postseason play.
Tennessee earned a No. 2 na-
tional seed, while South Carolina
and Texas A&M are No. 3 seeds.
Arkansas, Auburn, LSU, Ole
Miss, and Vanderbilt also earned
bids. Eight of the nine teams
earned the right to play host to
their opening-round matches.
“Just waiting to hear our name
is kind of nerve-wracking,” se-
nior midfielder Carly Mauldin
said. “You saw everybody just sit-
ing into it, I think it was more of
we know we are in it, but who are
we going to play and where are
we going to play.”
Mauldin and senior defender
Courtney Robicheaux have been
mainstays in a program that has
struggled to climb out of the bot-
tom of the SEC. Anagnost has
helped transform the program
with back-to-back winning sea-
sons. Mauldin said the confi-
dence the players have in one
another has helped them raise
the level of expectations and the
standard for the program.
“Back then, we always said,
‘We’re going to make it. We’re
going to make it,’ ” Mauldin said.
“Now we set ourselves up to suc-
ceed and make it to the tourna-
ment. It feels more real. When

before a packed house at
Currie Coliseum.
“Meridian outplayed us
in every phase of the game
in the second half,” Begley
said. “We had a 17-point lead
and should have blown the
game open. That being said,
we won the game because
we are a year older, a year
wiser. We would not have
won this game a year ago.”
After building a 39-24
halftime lead, EMCC (2-0)
watched MCC (1-1) tied the
game with a 12-0 run. The
Eagles later took a 3-point
lead. From there, EMCC
made a series of veteran
plays to pull it out.
On a four-possession
stretch, Agnew had a slam
dunk, a blocked shot, a
defensive five-second call,
and a 3-pointer from the
top of the key that broke the
game’s final tie.
“We lost our defensive
identity there in the second
half,” Agnew said. “Things
came pretty easy early and
we let our guard down. It’s
still early in the season
and we are getting some
things right. We know our
potential.”
On this team, any player
could be the standout on
any night.
Bell had a dominating
eight-minute stretch in the
first half as EMCC built a
lead. His run included two
dunks that energized a large
student section. Agnew
was dominant in the final
10 minutes. Former New
Hope High School standout
Terryonte Thomas hit a key
basket with the shot clock
expiring for a five-point lead
in the final minute.
Dewayne Cox had two
critical offensive rebounds
as EMCC battled to hold
the lead the final 3 minutes,
27 seconds.
“That’s the best thing
going for this team,” Beg-
ley said. “They know each
other and most of them
have played together for
quite some time. We can go
down the stretch of a game
and any player can step up
for us.
“We talk all the time
about the sophomores, but
there were some great min-
utes given to us by (Pow-
ers) and (Nebraska native
Dawson Graham.”
Some of the great chem-
istry on the team comes
from Agnew and Bell, who
played together on some
elite squads at Starkville.
“We always know where
each other is at,” Bell said.
“It’s like when something
does break down on the
offensive end, we still have
each other. If one of us is
moving towards the basket,
the other of us is going to
find him. That can be said
for the whole team. How-
ever, for (Agnew and Bell),
we have been doing this for
a while.”
Agnew had 12 points (all
in the second half), while
Thomas and Graham had
11. Bell and Robert Davis Jr.
had 10. Thomas had six re-
bounds, while Bell had five.
Agnew had three assists.
Alvarez Powell had 19
points to lead MCC, while
Alex Oguinn had 16.
EMCC will play Thurs-
day at East Central C.C.
in Decatur before leaving
Friday morning for Vin-
cennes, Indiana, for two
games in the Sodexo Clas-
sic. In Indiana, EMCC will
face No. 19 John A. Logan
College on Friday and No.
6 Vincennes University on
Saturday.
“This is a huge week
for our team,” Agnew said.
“Four games in six days is a
lot on us. Plus, we are play-
ing two nationally-ranked
teams. We are going to
learn a lot about our team.”
In the opener, the MCC
women erased a 14-point
fourth-quarter deficit to
knock off EMCC 76-69 in
overtime.
For EMCC (1-1), Tye
Metcalfe had 26 points,
while Maddie Riley had her
second double-double on
the season with 13 points
and 13 rebounds.

lofty preseason perch as
its prepares to play host
to Southeast Missouri
State at 7 p.m. Tuesday
in its season opener. The
return of senior center
Teaira McCowan, who
is arguably the most
dominating post player in
the country, immediately
grants MSU access to
discussion of the nation’s
top teams. The addition
of graduate transfer
Anriel Howard gives the
Bulldogs an “Energizer
bunny,” as described by
teammate Chloe Bibby, to
fuel the team as it tries to
duplicate the magic from
a program-record 37 win
season.
Schaefer has said
throughout the preseason
that his team, which is
going to look “different”
from the high-scoring
squad of 2017-18, is a
“looong” way away from
being ready. It is open
for debate how long
Schaefer really thinks his
team is away from being
prepared. He had said he
feels the team’s defense
isn’t up to snuff, but you
would expect that from a
coach with the nickname
of “Secretary of Defense.”
Coaches usually are
going to take a pessimis-
tic view of their team,
especially when they
lose four starters. This
season, though, has the
ingredients to surprise.
In Jordan Danberry
and Jazzmun Holmes,
you have guards who
are ready to step into
bigger roles. Each one
has shown flashes they
can contribute, but their
challenge is to do more.
Bibby, the team’s desig-
nated shooter given the
continued uncertainty
surrounding the eligibili-
ty of Connecticut transfer
Andra Espinoza-Hunter,
will be counted on to
shoulder an even bigger
burden. Already an ac-
complished international
player, Bibby’s challenge

will be to be more consis-
tent and to take pressure
off McCowan by hitting
more shots.
“Role” players like
Zion Campbell, Bre’Am-
ber Scott, Nyah Tate,
and redshirt sophomore
Myah Taylor also will
need to raise their games.
Schaefer already has
stressed the importance
of getting in the gym to
do extra work. Those
additional hours will be
crucial if the Bulldogs
are going to take the next
step.
“I am highly motivated
to get these kids there
(to the national champi-
onship game),” Schae-
fer said. “I am highly
motivated to get my
seniors there again, and
I want them to be highly
motivated.”
On Monday, Schaefer
said he saw Bibby in
the gym taking extra
shooting practice as he
did his elliptical workout.
That’s a good sign. With
Howard in tow, there’s no
doubt she will motivate
her teammates to try to
equal her energy. That
will be a tall order. If you
have seen the former
Texas A&M standout
play, you know her motor
never seems to stop. She
is perfectly happy grab-
bing rebounds, bringing
the ball up the floor,
passing to a teammate,
and moving around to get
a shot. Imagine if the rest
of the Bulldogs absorb
that infectious energy
and become a pack of
Dominique Dillinghams
and start diving on the
court and losing their
headbands. If 7,000 in
the Hump sounded like
70,000, there is no doubt
MSU fans will make
those first strains of
greatness sounds like
whispers.
That’s the plan Schae-
fer when he and his wife,
Holly, first looked into
MSU and considered
leaving Texas A&M. In
six seasons, Schaefer has
orchestrated one of the
sports greatest transfor-
mations and energized
a fan base to support
women’s basketball like
virtually no other.
Get ready for a wild
ride. If Espinoza-Hunter
and Ole Miss transfer
Promise Taylor become
eligible immediately, the
expectations will go even
higher. Without them,
this year’s team has the
potential to be just as
exciting and entertain-
ing. There likely will be
lower-scoring games, but
there’s no denying these
Bulldogs will be any less
entertaining.

challenge that awaits them
against No. 1 Alabama (9-0, 6-0),
but it isn’t a challenge they plan
on attacking any differently.
“We talk all the time in our
building about the term champi-
onship standard, and quite frank-
ly, this is what we’re chasing,”
Moorhead said. “Alabama is the
gold standard in this league. I
told the team (Sunday) night, no
one falls to the top of the moun-
tain. These guys work their tail
off and earned the right to be
there. It’s our job to get up there
and knock them off.
“We’re not going to say we
need to crank it up because it’s
Alabama, but we have to have a
heightened awareness the margin
for error is negligible. We’re going
to need great urgency, great pre-
cision, and great practice.”
Alabama has won the last 10
games in the series and 31 of the
last 37, but that doesn’t concern
Moorhead. He is focused on the
2018 season, which told him one
thing.
“You don’t have to play a per-
fect game, but you have to be
darn near close. You have to be in
that range,” he said.
Coaching connections
The Penn State football team’s
last two seasons on offense were
so good they landed three coach-
es jobs in the SEC West.
Moorhead and Charles Huff
(running backs coach/run game
coordinator) are at MSU, while
Josh Gattis is wide receivers at
Alabama after working in the
same position at Penn State.
“I think Josh is a rising star in
this profession. I think he’s going to
be a head coach in a short amount
of time,” Moorhead said. “He’s an
expert in the fundamentals, some-
one who really harps on the small
details and the craft of route-run-
ning. I think he does a good job of
connecting with his players and
getting them to play hard for him,
and his track record as a recruiter
speaks for itself. I have the utmost
respect for Josh professionally and
personally. He’s a good friend of
mine, awesome family, awesome
wife, and kids.”
Injury update
MSU had three players on the
injury report prior to the game
against Louisiana Tech. All three
played.
This week, two players have
been removed, but three have
been added.
Moorhead didn’t mention
wide receiver Keith Mixon and
defensive tackle Braxton Hoyett
in discussing injuries, but he did
mention running back Kylin Hill,
who he said the team is “feeling
really good about him” playing
against Alabama.
Moorhead added wide re-
ceiver Osirus Mitchell (day to
day, upper body), linebacker
Sh’mar Kilby-Lane (day to day,
lower body), and defensive back
Jaquarius Landrews (day to day,
lower body) to the list.
Landrews is important given
Brian Cole is out for the season.
Landrews and former West Point
High School standout Marcus
Murphy have replaced him.
Senior morning
MSU’s game against Arkansas
will kick off at 11 a.m. Saturday,
Nov. 17, the league announced
Monday. A broadcast channel
hasn’t been set.
The game will be MSU’s first
morning home game of the season.

Dear Abby
DEAR ABBY:
My wife and
I have three
teenagers – 18,
16 and 14. My
wife cooks for
them every day
or buys them fast
food. I always eat
leftovers, which
the fridge is full
of. Our children
ZITS refuse to eat
leftovers or cook
for themselves,
and they insist on
having a freshly
cooked meal
Dear Abby
every day.
Occasionally, my wife needs
to work late and asks me to
buy fast food for the children.
I respond that I’ll gladly cook
for them or buy them fast food,
but first they have to finish the
leftovers in the fridge. My wife
gets upset and accuses me of
GARFIELD not caring about our children.
Who is right? – LEFTOVERS IN
THE EAST
DEAR LEFTOVERS: I have a
news flash for you. At the ages
of 18, 16 and 14, your kids
are no longer children; they
are teenagers approaching
adulthood. Rather than act like
pushovers, you and your wife
should be teaching them how
to cook – a skill they’ll need if
they are going to live healthy
lives in the future.
Yes, they should finish the
CANDORVILLE leftovers. Leftovers are usually
better the second
time around be-
cause the flavors
have had more
time to meld. No,
they shouldn’t
be having fast
food instead. If
you and your wife
care about your
progeny, start
assigning each of
them an evening
in which they pre-
pare at least one
dish, while you
make sure they
know how to do
it. Stop arguing
and start parenting!
DEAR ABBY: My fiancé
dumped me three months
ago. We were together 4 1/2
years and engaged for almost
a year. He started dating
someone else the day after he
broke up with me. He said it
was because we had nothing
in common anymore, and
he no longer liked talking to
me or touching me. We were
engaged! He waited all that
time to decide he no longer
loves me?
How do I deal with my
heartbreak and build myself
back up again? And why in the
world would he be dating some-
one new a day later? I don’t
want him back. As far as I’m
concerned, he’s a jerk, and I’ll
be better off without him. I just
want to know how to deal with
the confusion I have. – HEART-
BROKEN AND CONFUSED
DEAR HEARTBROKEN:
Things don’t always turn out
the way we plan. I know you are
hurting, and I am sorry. Start
handling your heartbreak by
being grateful you didn’t devote
even more time to a person
who would treat you this way.
And to answer your ques-
tion about how he could begin
dating someone a day after he
broke up with you, it’s because
he had his eye on her before
ending the romance with you.
If you think he has caught the
brass ring this time around,
think again. Few “frying pan
into the fire” relationships are
lasting ones. Consider this a
new beginning and start living
your life.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
The question now that
really vexes
Is where we’re gonna place
our “X”es
Voting, folks, should not
upset ya –
Be glad we’re livin’ where
they LET ya!
Readers, please use your
voices. Go out and vote today!

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov.
6). You’ll do a fantastic job of
keeping your group tight. The
benefits of being on a winning
team will carry you forward
in many aspects of life. Your
horizons will expand to accom-
modate a new presence. The in-
vestment you made months ago
will start to pay off in January
and increase steadily. Capricorn
BABY BLUES and Sagittarius adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 20,
15 and 25.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Today is the day you can finally
come to a deal. If you wait, the
terms will change – and not in
your favor. Sign now and be
done with it. Your energies are
best spent in moving on.
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
The excitement isn’t some-
thing that happens to you, nor
is it something you will make
happen. The excitement will be
a product of experimentation.
Push the boundaries, try new
things, and suddenly life is
fascinating.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
There’s really no sense in look-
ing back. Even if you could clear-
ly see what you could have done
to make things better, you’d be
ignoring all the reasons you had
back then for doing what you
did. Forward is the only way.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You can accept your animal
impulses without acting on
them. Of course, restraint is
necessary to live peaceably in
society. But recognizing the wis-
dom of impulse leads to a more
confident and intuition-guided
existence.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your
need to connect will culminate
in some mischief. This isn’t
about rebellion, nor is it a cry
for attention. It’s a product of
your playfulness and sincere
desire to entertain people.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Don’t ask yourself to do too
much in a day. It’s just mean.
You wouldn’t push other people
you love that way. You’re strong,
but you have your limits, and
pushing them on the regular can
only lead to burnout.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
A proper evaluation of life can’t
happen from only one perspec-
tive. We are not the only ones
living in our lives. Enhance your
self-reflection by asking for feed-
back from others, too.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Your mental powers are
strong, making this an ideal
time to visualize positive people
coming into your realm, arms
outstretched, ready to give you
the love and assistance you
need and deserve.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Give yourself a pep talk
before you socialize. Include a
goal for your interactions, for
instance, approaching two new
people or asking a question that
draws someone out or helps
you learn the truth.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). It’s said that how you do
anything is how you do every-
thing. Do you think it’s true?
And if it is, what’s that saying
about you? What is it saying
about the person you’re trying
to get to know today?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). More and more you con-
sider yourself a global citizen.
There’s nothing like traveling to
open the mind and broaden the
perspective. But when travel
isn’t the priority, you still seek
knowledge of other cultures and
places.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). If you’re to get unstuck,
there are cords that need cut-
ting. The tool that will snip them
like freshly sharpened scissors
is a sharp mind making a clear
decision to do so.
