In Columbus, multiple organiza-

putting on the parade from Colum-
bus Police Department at the Mu-
nicipal Complex down Main Street
to the Lowndes County Courthouse.
“We have in this county over
10,000 veterans, men and women,
who have answered the call to our
country,” said Columbus American
Legion post commander Calvin Bo-
swell. “This is something to let those

machines too full. When children are in the building, he says he has to keep them from playing bumper cars with the carts. “I would do it too if I was them,” Irions joked.

t any hour of the day, clothes can be seen spinning in the washing machines at
one of Columbus’ half-dozen laundromats and cleaners. The smell of detergents
drifts through the air as Motown music plays at Double S Laundry. Patrons at

as they occupy their time reading books, playing on their phones or visiting with one
another. Each person leaves with the satisfaction of another chore completed as they
load baskets back into their cars.

Jasmine Harris, 19, stands on the tips of her toes as she pours
laundry detergent in the top of the machine Thursday evening at

that wouldn’t fit in their washing machine at home.

COLUMBUS
— The handful of
members who at-
tended Thursday’s
Columbus Police
Department Citizen
Overview Committee
meeting Thursday
voted unanimously Armstrong
to make the group
an ad hoc commit-
tee — meaning they
will meet only on an
as-needed basis.
City Chief Oper-
ations Officer David
Armstrong, one of
the voting members Smith
of the board, said he
suggested the move to Mayor Rob-
ert Smith and chair Steven James
— neither of whom were present at
Thursday’s meeting — after repeat-
ed agendas at the meetings includ-
ed only “old business” and “new
business” without having anything
concrete planned to discuss.
“I don’t think anybody wants
to meet just to meet. We’ve all got
other things to do ... I just think we
could best serve as an ad hoc com-
mittee and I hope there’s not a rea-
son we have to meet,” Armstrong
said. “... If there’s a need then we
certainly can convene and should
convene.
“If we don’t have an agenda, peo-
ple (are) just not going to come, and
I would rather if there’s a need that
we meet and people come than just
say, ‘Oh Lord, I’ve got to go up there
in an hour,’” he added.
In addition to Armstrong, meet-
ing attendees included members
Colin Krieger and Lee Roy Lol-
lar and CPD Capt. Ric Higgins,
who was representing Chief Fred
Shelton. Board members Lavonne
Latham Harris and Tiffany Turner
were not present.
The committee formed in 2015
and began meeting in 2016 in the
Former CPD officer Canyon Boy-
kin shot and killed 26-year-old Ball
after Ball ran from a traffic stop in
north Columbus on Oct. 16, 2015.
Boykin was indicted for manslaugh-
ter in September 2016 and his case
is pending.
Smith and Ward 6 City Council-
man Bill Gavin both said that at the
time there was a need for the over-
view committee, which acted as an
advisory group to the council and as
a sort of liaison between the public
and the police department.
“I think any time we get the cit-
izens involved with the activities
of the city, whether it’s the police
department or the fire department,
we open up some transparency
(for) the public and get input from
the public on how they want the
city run,” Gavin said. “I think that’s
a real important aspect of the gov-
ernment is to get input from the cit-
izens.”
In particular, Smith said, if res-
idents had a concern about the po-
lice department, they could call a
committee member and have it ad-
dressed.
“If you had any concerns or is-
sues about what was going on with
your board or the police depart-
ment, this would be a representa-
tive from your ward (on the commit-
tee),” Smith said. “It’s been a plus,
and concerning the Ricky Ball sit-
uation, it definitely was an asset as
far as the innuendos, the hearsays,
from people within in the commu-
nity.”
Still, both said there was no rea-
son for the committee to meet just
to meet.
“I think you should have meet-
ings when things can be productive
and you can discuss some things
and business can actually be pro-
ductive rather than saying they’re
going to have a scheduled meeting
every month and not do anything,”
Gavin said. “But the good part about
scheduled meetings is the public

House Democrat criticizes Mississippi chicken plant raids

‘Not one employer or person from management has been arrested’
House Homeland Security Committee chairman Bennie Thompson
By JEFF AMY
The Associated Press
JACKSON
— It’s “disap-
pointing” that
President Donald
Trump’s admin-
istration is selec-
tively enforcing
laws to appre-
Thompson
hend immigrant
workers who are in the U.S. ille-
gally but not prosecute employ-
ers, a U.S. House committee
chairman said Thursday.
Bennie Thompson, a Mis-
sissippi Democrat and House
Homeland Security Committee
chairman, made the criticism
during a hearing about federal
immigration raids in August at
seven Mississippi chicken pro-
cessing plants where agents ar-
rested 680 mostly Guatemalan
workers.
“Not one employer or person
from management has been
arrested,” Thompson said. “In
fact, prosecutions of companies
who hire undocumented work-
ers have declined compared to
the previous administration’s
numbers. The selective way the
administration is enforcing our
laws is disappointing.”
Mike Hurst, chief federal
prosecutor for the southern
half of Mississippi, said Thurs-
day that 119 people have been
indicted after the raid and 47
have pleaded guilty so far. Of
those, Hurst said 26 have plead-
ed guilty to fraudulently using
a Social Security number, while
21 others have pleaded guilty to
illegally re-entering the United
States after previously being
deported. The rest face some
combination of those charges.
Jere Miles, special agent in
charge of Homeland Security
Investigations, pleaded for pa-
tience, saying agents are exam-
ining 850,000 documents and
61 digital devices to build cases.
“We’re not satisfied with go-
ing after the low-level people,
but as I’m sure you all under-
stand, it is a lengthy process,”
Miles testified.
The Democrats called the
arrests unnecessary, inhumane
and demeaning, with U.S. Rep.
Sheila Jackson Lee saying she
would push for a law against
separating parents and chil-
dren because of immigration
enforcement.
“I believe we should clarify
that there is no policy, no dic-
tate, that directs ICE and any
other agency, no law to sepa-
rate families from children,” the
Texas Democrat told reporters.
She and others called it a
waste of resources to bring in
600 federal agents to arrest
680 people. Thompson said just
agents’ wages for the day cost
$478,000.
Witnesses said federal
agents failed to coordinate with
local authorities to make sure
children wouldn’t return home
to empty houses, saying chil-
dren remain traumatized, espe-
cially because many parents are
still in detention.
“The trauma of these chil-
dren is too painful,” testified
the Rev. Odel Medina, pastor
of St. Anne Catholic Church in
Carthage “They do not under-
stand why their parents have
been arrested.’”
Miles called it an “oversight”
that some school districts
weren’t contacted, and told re-
porters later that “I think that
there are lessons that need to
be learned.” But he also pushed
back against the idea that peo-
ple who violate immigration
laws should be treated differ-
ently from other criminals.
“Like anyone who gets ar-
rested for a crime in the Unit-
ed States, they can’t go home,”
Miles testified. He echoed top
Homeland Security officials
who say arresting people work-
ing illegally in the United States
is important because it will cut
off the incentive for others to
come.

Letters to the editors

Voice of the people
A letter of appreciation
I have had the opportunity to do absentee
voting within the last year. I want to publicly
say a huge thank you to our Circuit Clerk,
Mrs. Barksdale and her staff for the excel-
lent service in absentee voting. They are
very professional and very respectful to me
every time.
And while I have the opportunity, a
grateful thanks to all who have made our
Highway 50 a comfortable ride. They were
dedicated to that project in high tempera-
tures and had to be exhausted at the end of
their work day. Thank you!

Had difficulty voting

I have a question for those who wanted to
vote at East Columbus Gym.
Did you get to vote?
My wife and I went to the gym around
2 p.m. to do just that. After standing at an
empty table for 10 to 15 minutes we had to
leave so she wouldn’t be late to work. She
was pretty upset.
I returned to vote. And people were still
in line. We asked the ladies at the table who
were letting people vote why we had to wait
to vote.
They said that the ladies and the books
were outside helping others to vote. I had
never seen this before.
But after waiting another five minutes or
so the ladies and their books came in. I got
to vote but my wife didn’t.
Is this how it works? I don’t know if or
how many others didn’t get to vote. Is this
our fault? If yes, then we will camp out the
night before.

W. Bush to concede, but called back about
an hour later to retract his concession.

Campaign 2020
Will ‘sexist’ white males derail Warren?
After celebrating
Tuesday’s takeover
of Virginia’s legis-
lature and the Ken-
tucky governorship,
the liberal establish-
ment appears poised
to crush its biggest
threat: the surging
candidacy of Eliza-
beth Warren.
From the tempo
and tenor of the at- Patrick Buchanan
tacks, establishment
fears of Warren’s
success are real — and under-
standably so.
Two Wednesday polls show
Warren running even with Joe
Biden nationally. And a new
Iowa poll shows Warren in front
of the field with 20%, and Biden
falling into fourth place with
15%.
The danger for Democrats:
While Warren is now the party’s ly successful public-private
front-runner, they fear she’s a
sure loser to Donald Trump in
2020.
And, again, with reason. A
recent poll of six battleground
states, including Pennsylvania,
Florida and Michigan, showed
Trump beating or tying Warren
in all of them except for Arizo-
na.
Nightmare scenario: Warren
wins the nomination, but when
her neo-Marxist agenda is ex-
posed, Middle America recoils
in horror.
The economic
elite is already
sounding the alarm.
Jamie Dimon of
JP Morgan Chase
says Warren “vilifies
successful people.”
Microsoft founder
Bill Gates says her
proposals would
imperil “innovation”
and “capital forma-
tion.”
Writing in The
New York Times, Obama advis-
er Steven Rattner describes a
Warren presidency as “a terrify-
ing prospect.”
Warren would “extend the
reach and weight of the federal
government far further into the
economy than anything even
Franklin Roosevelt dreamed of
(and) ... turn America’s unique-
relationship into a dirigiste
European-style system.”
“If you want to live in
France” — where half the GDP
is controlled by the regime —
says Rattner, “Warren should be
your candidate.”
What finally shocked an-
ti-Warren liberals into action
was her recent revelation of
how she intends to pay for her
“Medicare for all” plan.
Warren’s plan would require
at least $23 trillion more in
federal spending over a decade.
Other experts say the added
costs could run to $32 trillion,
raising the U.S. government’s
share of the GDP by one-half
and abolishing the private
health insurance plans of 156
million Americans.
“Many of America’s global
champions, like banks and tech
giants, would be dismembered,”
writes Rattner, “Shale fracking
would be banned, which would
send oil and natural gas prices
soaring and cost millions of
Americans their jobs.”
Beyond “Medicare for All,”
Warren has other plans. Univer-
sal child care and free schooling
from pre-kindergarten through
college and the cancellation of
student loans, plus a new look at
reparations for slavery.
How would President Warren
pay for all her “plans”?
She would raise the corpo-
rate rate to 35% from 21%, and
slam a 40% tax on the profits of
companies that try to flee the
country.
She would raise the capital
gains tax, impose new estate
taxes, raise Social Security tax-
es on folks with higher incomes,
and confiscate 2% of the wealth
of those with $50 million in
assets and 3% of the wealth of
those with $1 billion, every year.
Writes Politifact: “All told,
we counted $7 trillion in new
spending over a 10-year period,
and that’s without Medicare
for All. On the flip side, Warren
offered specific tax proposals
that came to $4.55 trillion.”
Still, Warren’s socialism is
not what her main rivals, all
white men, are zeroing in on.
They’ve decided to play hard-
ball.
Thursday, under a headline,
“Warren Faces Accusations that
She’s ‘Angry,’ Which Supporters
Say is Sexist,” The Washington
Post reported:
“Two of the leading male
candidates in the Democratic
presidential primary race — Joe
Biden and Pete Buttigieg —
have escalated separate lines of
attack as they attempt to count-
er the field’s most prominent
woman: Sen. Elizabeth Warren
(D-Mass.) is antagonistic and
angry.”
Warren has a “my way or
the highway” approach, said
Buttigieg, she is “so absorbed in
the fighting that it is as though
fighting were the purpose.”
Biden says Warren, who has
a real shot at taking the nomina-
tion, reflects “an angry unyield-
ing viewpoint that has crept into
our politics.”
This is “treacherous,” warns
the Post, “given that many
Democrats remain upset over
what they view as the sexist
treatment of Hillary Clinton, the
party’s last nominee.”
The Democratic Party today
defines itself as an inclusive par-
ty of women, gays, Hispanics,
African Americans and other
people of color.
Yet three months out from
the decisive early contests of
Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada
and South Carolina, the party is
going into the semifinals of its
contest for a leader and future
president without a single per-
son of color in the final four.
Moreover, the three white
males are denigrating and
piling on the woman who is
the front-runner with attacks
on her personality for which
conservatives, if they used
such tactics, would be charged
with “dog-whistling” the white
working class.
When one looks at the ap-
proval-disapproval rating of the
president, re-election appears
problematic. When one looks
at the Democrats’ agenda and
field of candidates, the odds
of Trump’s re-election seem a
good deal better.
This thing is by no means
over.

graders in Aedrin Albright’s civics
class at a rural North Carolina high
school had done their homework,
and now it was time to decide:
Should President Donald Trump be
impeached?
The students dragged their
chairs across the room, those who
opposed removing Trump from of-
fice on one side, those in favor on
the other. Undecided students were
in the middle.
“Your job is to try to persuade
your classmates in here to come to
your side, to your understanding,”
Albright told the teenagers at Cha-
tham Central High School.
The House impeachment inquiry
into Trump’s dealings with Ukraine
has become a teachable moment in
classrooms around the country as
educators incorporate the events
often hundreds of miles away in
Washington into their lesson plans.
They are using the debate in
Congress to teach students about
the Constitution and presidential
power, provide history lessons
about earlier impeachment cases
and hold mock votes that mirror the
divisions in American politics.
In Albright’s first class on im-
peachment in October, students
read articles and then drew posters
explaining the process without get-
ting into the politics. That changed
on Tuesday, when the students
took sides, coincidentally as House
Democrats were releasing tran-
scripts of closed-door testimony in
the impeachment probe.
Like many members of Con-
gress who will decide the Repub-
lican president’s fate, most of the
students in Albright’s class had
already made up their minds and
wouldn’t be swayed.
The tally at the start of class
Tuesday: 15 against impeachment,
three for and 10 undecided. The six
precincts in Bear Creek, where the
school is located, voted almost 55
percent for Trump in the 2016 pres-
idential election, while Chatham
County went for Democrat Hillary
Clinton. Both candidates were rep-
resented in campaign signs hang-
ing in the classroom.
“The Democrats have just been
slamming Trump and trying to find
every little thing, ever since he got
into office,” student Bryce Hammer
said. “Just to try and get a reason
just to kick him out and impeach
him.”
Arguing for impeachment, Fran-
cisco Morales said, “He’s accused
of asking foreign help to interfere
with elections. And then the day
after (special counsel Robert Muel-
ler testified before Congress), he
asked foreign help to help him in
the next election. So, for me, it kind
of shows that he doesn’t really care
about how people think about what
he does with foreign countries.”

GOP insider leads transition

for Mississippi governor-elect
Tate Reeves was elected
Tuesday and will take
office Jan. 14
The Associated Press
JACKSON — A former Missis-
sippi Republican Party chairman
will lead the transition team for
Gov.-elect Tate Reeves.
The Reeves campaign said
Thursday that Brad White will do
the job.
White is stepping down as chief
of staff for Republican Sen. Cindy
Hyde-Smith.
Reeves was elected Tuesday and
will take office Jan. 14, succeeding
Republican Gov. Phil Bryant, who
was limited to two terms.
As governor, Reeves will hire
people to lead several state gov-
ernment agencies, including a new
director of the state Department of
Finance and Administration. The
current DFA leader is taking a job
at Mississippi College.
White was state GOP chairman
from 2008 to 2011. He later became
chief of staff for then-U.S. Sen.
Thad Cochran, and he went to work
for Hyde-Smith after Cochran re-
tired and she succeed him.
After White as Hyde-Smith’s
chief of staff will be Doug Davis,
another longtime Republican insid-
er. Davis served in the state Senate
from DeSoto County from 2004 to
2011. He was Mississippi Secretary
of State Delbert Hosemann’s chief
of staff from 2013 to 2018 and then
became a senior adviser for Hyde-
Smith.

Steigmann
Continued from Page 1A
His parents, like most
Holocaust survivor par-
ents, did not talk about
the experience because
they wanted their chil-
dren to have normal lives,
he said. The family lived
in various places through-
out the former Soviet
Union and in Israel before
Steigmann came to the
United States by himself
in 1961.
In 2003, the U.S. Holo-
caust Memorial Museum
in Washington, D.C. was
open only to survivors,
their children and their
liberators for a couple
days. During his visit,
Steigmann met a man
who was born in the same
city and held in the same
labor camp during the
same time frame that he
was. They were less than
a year apart in age.
“This is the difference
between history and liv-
ing history,” said Steig-
mann, who will be 80 in
December. “Meeting him
and talking to him, I de-
cided to stop ignoring be-
ing a Holocaust survivor
and instead to do some-
thing about it.”
He has worked with
the Museum of Jewish
Heritage in New York
City, the second-largest
Holocaust memorial mu-
seum, in addition to his
speaking career.
Steigmann also spoke
Thursday evening at Mis-
sissippi State University,
the first college campus
he ever spoke at three
years ago, and Friday
morning at Armstrong
Middle School.
This is the first time
MSU’s Holmes Cultur-
al Diversity Center has
brought a speaker to
Starkville public schools,
said Rasheda Forbes,
MSU assistant vice pres-
ident for multicultural
affairs. Steigmann is part
of the last generation
of Holocaust survivors,
and hearing his story is
“critically important” for
middle and high school
students to connect it to
what they have learned
in their history classes
about WWII, she said.
‘Dialogue brings people
together’
Steigmann’s main
message was to never
give up hope in difficult
times. When he was 56,
five years after moving to
the U.S., he was homeless
and poor. He sees strug-
gling as a means of uncov-
ering hidden strengths,
he said, and he overcame
his circumstances by vol-
unteering.
“When you volunteer,
you stop feeling sorry for
yourself,” he said. “When
you volunteer by helping
others, you are actually
helping yourself.”
He also went through a
messy divorce that made
it impossible to have a
relationship with his son
and grandchildren, he
said.
“For the hour and a
half that we are together,
you become my substitute
grandchildren,” he told
the students.
He implored the audi-
ence to adopt a mentality
of survivorship, not vic-
timhood, and to approach
people of different back-
grounds and beliefs with
tolerance and dialogue,
not with emotion. The
American public has for-
gotten how to disagree in
a civil manner, he said.
“Dialogue brings peo-
ple together,” he said.
“When you speak with
emotion, that is confron-
tational and you will never
agree on anything.”
Steigmann said a Ger-
man woman saved his
life when he was a small
child dying of starvation
in the labor camp. Later,
as an adult, he met with
the sons of some Nazi war
criminals and found that
they were more alike than
different. At the same
time, neo-Nazis and Holo-
caust deniers are real and
dangerous, he said.
“Ideology cannot be
destroyed by guns,” Steig-
mann said. “It can be de-
stroyed only through
education. It is your job
to educate yourself, and
do me a favor and mentor
somebody else.”
Hope for the next
generation
Traveling all over the
country to give speeches
has given Steigmann faith
in the power of today’s
youth to create societal
change, he told The Dis-
patch.
“Unlike like a lot of
people who think this is a
doomed generation, from
my experience meeting
so many young people, I
believe in them and I be-
lieve that they will make
a difference and a better
world for themselves,
their children and their
grandchildren,” Steig-
mann said.
SHS junior Bella Page
said Steigmann’s visit re-
minded her that the Holo-
caust is not very distant in
history, since Steigmann
is part of the last genera-
tion of survivors.
“I also think it’s crazy
that he came here,” Page
said. “He was saying he
was just in Chicago. Mis-
sissippi is very different
than Chicago.”
Janna Paes just fin-
ished teaching the WWII
unit in her eleventh-grade
U.S. history class and sur-
prised her students with
the news that Steigmann
was coming to speak, she
said.
“I thought it was very
important (for) them to
hear a Holocaust survi-
vor, because hearing a
firsthand account is more
important than any state
test, and it helps them on
that as well,” Paes said.
She appreciated Steig-
mann’s message of never
acting like a victim and
choosing dialogue with
others over emotional re-
actions, she said.
“He brought not only
the historical aspect but
also a real-world chal-
lenge that teenagers deal
with on a daily basis,”
Paes said.

Caledonia volleyball standout Tori Brooks signs to ICC

By Theo Derosa
tderosa@cdispatch.com
CALEDONIA — Cale-
donia volleyball coach
Samantha Brooks has
seen plenty of her play-
ers sign to colleges be-
fore. Thursday’s signing,
though, had a different
feel to it.
A little after 11 a.m.,
Brooks carefully ar-
ranged two volleyballs,
cardinal red home and
white away Caledonia
volleyball No. 24 jerseys,
a gray Itawamba Com-
munity College T-shirt
and a red ICC sweatshirt
on a table outside the
Caledonia library, know-
ing how different this
signing was from all the
others.
“I’ve never done this
before,” she said.
The Caledonia volley-
ball coach was set up to
watch her daughter, Tori
Brooks, one of the Con-
federates’ senior stars,
sign her letter of intent
to play at Itawamba Com-
munity College.
“She’s probably pret-
ty happy,” Tori Brooks.
“First off, one of her play-
ers committing. I mean,
it’s me, I’m her daughter.
It’s kind of like a two for
one.”
The elder Brooks,
who came from Indiana
to play volleyball at the
recruiting efforts of ICC
coach Priscilla Morgan.
“I knew she wanted
me because she told me
she did,” Tori Brooks
said. “Whenever I went, I
was like, ‘This is where I
want to be.’”
She hopes to get the
chance to make an im-
pact on the court early
on in her first collegiate
season playing the sport
she’s long loved.
“It’s just in her blood,”
coach Brooks said.
“She’s loved it since she
was little and been in-
volved in it since she was
little, and it’s just part of
who she is.”

the defense the Vols
played was an even bigger
catalyst for Thursday’s
win.
“Pressured them into
making a lot of turnovers,
which gave us a good lead
and a good momentum
boost,” Delp said.
It was clear Thursday
that the Vols were under-
sized against Magnolia
Heights, and Ball expects
that trend to continue
throughout the season.
But Starkville Academy,
playing with one senior,
didn’t let any disadvantag-
es in height or in experi-
ence deter it.
“We play harder, push
them out and give good
ball pressure so they can’t
get it down to the bigger
person in the post,” Delp
said, “and we box out so
they can’t get rebounds,
which eliminates the
height differential.”
The mismatches have
shaped the Vols’ style of
play, Ball said.
“That’s the way we
are,” he said. “We want to
spread the floor and drive
it. Sometimes it’s pretty;
sometimes it’s not. We
have no size, but we got-
ta find a way to attack the
rim.”
Delp, in his first year
at SA after moving from
Tuscaloosa, and juniors
Jawon Yarbrough and Dre
Frazier all did just that,
tying for the team lead
with 11 points apiece. All
three did a respectable
job guarding taller oppo-
nents, too.
“We played hard,” Yar-
brough said. “We played
tough defense. We kept it
under control.”
The game was under
control early in the sec-
ond quarter, when the
Vols stretched their lead
to 15-6. They led 27-14 at
the half and kept the pres-
sure on for a relatively
easy victory against what
Ball called an “outstand-
ing” Magnolia Heights
team — a big first win
moving forward.
“It feels great,” Yar-
brough said. “We have
something to go off of for
the rest of the season.”
Magnolia Heights girls 35,
Starkville Academy 31
The Starkville Acad-
emy girls team erased
a 12-point deficit in the
fourth quarter to take
the lead, but Magnolia
Heights answered with
one last run to pull off a
35-31 road win.
The Vols trailed 28-
16 at the end of the third
quarter but started the
fourth with 10 straight
points. They grabbed a
brief lead at 31-30, but
the Chiefs’ Bailey Car-
penter made a go-ahead
layup, the Vols went cold,
and Magnolia Heights’
Gracie Mettetal iced the
game with three late free
throws.
“We had our run in the
fourth quarter; we were
just down,” Ball said.
“We’ve gotta learn to play
a little more consistent
and avoid those spurts.
But as long as we know
that we’re gonna play that
hard, that’s all a coach
can ask.”
Thursday’s game
turned out to be chock-
full of runs, with the Vols
jumping out to an 8-0 lead
behind six points from
lone senior Meri Laci Ar-
cher.
Archer led the team
with 14 points despite
missing a couple minutes
in the second quarter
with a minor leg injury.
“She’s been playing
hard,” Ball said. “She’s
been making all the
shots. She’s tough. She’s
our senior leader on the
team. As she goes, we
kind of follow.”
Archer provided a sol-
id presence inside and
stretched the floor occa-
sionally, but she gave way
to Lillee Alpe in key mo-
ments late. Alpe took sev-
eral attempts at go-ahead
3-pointers, none of which
found the mark.
“A 3 goes down, it’s
probably different down
the stretch,” Ball said.
“I think it shows a lot of
heart and character, and
I think that we’re gonna
find a way to not fall down
big.”
He said the Chiefs’ run
that started in the second
quarter — a 16-0 spurt
stretching past halftime
— was fueled by a 1-3-1
zone and a halfcourt trap,
and it made it ultimately
too hard for the Vols to
come back.
But he was still proud
of his players’ effort in
making a comeback
that energized a rau-
cous Starkville Academy
crowd — ”probably the
loudest we’ve faced in a
long time,” Mettetal said.
She did her part in si-
lencing that crowd when
she was intentionally
fouled twice in the clos-
ing seconds after misses
by Alpe. The first time,
Mettetal made one of two
to stretch the lead to two
points. The second time,
she calmly swished both
to give Magnolia Heights
a four-point lead and, with
7.7 seconds left, seal a big
road win for the Chiefs.
“We didn’t have a very
good season last year,”
Mettetal said, “so we’re
coming out strong.”
Other local scores
The Starkville Chris-
tian girls defeated Oak
Hill 48-44 on Thursday.
Meanwhile, both the
Starkville boys and girls
fell to Meridian, with the
boys falling 55-51 and the
girls losing by a score of
84-37.

Carr, Garoppolo excel in prove-it years while some struggle

The Associated Press
ALAMEDA, Calif. —
Derek Carr has silenced
the questions of his long-
term viability as the start-
ing quarterback for the
Raiders by looking once
again like the quarter-
back who was one of the
top young passers in the
league back in 2016.
Jimmy Garoppolo is
proving why the San Fran-
cisco 49ers invested so
heavily in him after only
a handful of NFL starts
by leading the NFL’s only
remaining undefeated
team.
While Carr and Garop-
polo have stepped up their
performances in what
were viewed as prove-it
seasons, that hasn’t been
the case for other quarter-
backs who came into the
year in similar scenarios.
Tennessee’s Marcus
Mariota and Cincinnati’s
Andy Dalton have already
been benched and seem
poised to be looking for
a new job next season,
while Mitchell Trubisky
appears close to playing
himself out of a job in
Chicago in just his third
season.
Jameis Winston has
once again displayed the
type of up-and-down per-
formances in Tampa Bay
that led to the Buccaneers
deciding to let him play
out his fifth year option
instead of getting a long-
term contract.
The Raiders are happy
with their situation with
Carr, who is leading one of
the league’s most efficient
offenses following two dis-
appointing season.
“I say it all the time, this
league does not give quar-
terbacks enough time,”
Carr said. “This organiza-
tion has given me time, it’s
steady. We know who the
coaches are. We know who
the quarterback is. Let
them grow and now we’re
getting to see the fruits of
it.”
Carr is operating with
the same play-caller in
back-to-back seasons for
just the second time in
his six-year career. He be-
lieves it’s no coincidence
that those have been his
two best seasons, with
him leading the Raiders to
12 wins in his second sea-
son under coordinator Bill
Musgrave in 2016 and now
ranking as one of the top
quarterbacks this season
at the halfway point.
Carr is posting his high-
est career marks in com-
pletion percentage (71.2,
yards per attempt (7.9) and
passer rating (105.1). He
has been at his best in key
spots with his 140.1 passer
rating on third down rank-
ing highest in the league
in 25 years.
“I think he’s a coach on
the field instead of a player
on the field,” Gruden said.
“Learning a new offense
last year, he was playing,
and we had two rookie
tackles. We had a lot of
issues, a lot of injuries, a
lot of problems last year.
I don’t want to reiterate
those, but he was playing
the best he could play and
he played pretty good.
But, now he’s coaching. He
sees it before it happens.”
Mariota and Dalton
both struggled this season
in their first years under
new systems and have
been benched.
Mariota, the second
overall pick in 2015, has
gone through three head
coaches and five play-call-
ers and has failed to build
on a promising start to his
career. He completed less
than 60% of his passes this
season and got benched
for Ryan Tannehill after
going 7 for 18 for 63 yards
and two interceptions in a
loss at Denver last month.
With Mariota set to
become a free agent next
year, it appears as if he will
need to find a new home if
he ever wants to live up to
his draft billing.
“That’s solely on my
shoulders,” he said. “I had
an opportunity to play, and
I didn’t make the most of
it. I’m going to learn and
grow from it. This is an op-
portunity for me to grow as
a person and as a player.”
Dalton got benched af-
ter eight-plus seasons as
starter in Cincinnati with
the Bengals looking for a
change after an 0-8 start.
Dalton led Cincinnati to
the playoffs his first five
seasons but the team never
won a playoff game in that
stretch and he has strug-
gled the past few seasons
as the offensive line dete-
riorated and top receiver
A.J. Green missed a lot of
time with injuries.
Dalton has one year
left on his contract but the
Bengals can get out of it
with no dead money if they
decide to go another direc-
tion.
“If this is the end here, I
don’t know,” Dalton said. “I
don’t know what the future
holds, but this is not how I
envisioned it.”
Trubisky figured to
be on safer ground after
taking big steps forward
under coach Matt Nagy
in his second year in the
NFL. But Trubisky has
regressed badly from the
start of the season and
ranks 29th out of 32 qual-
ifying quarterbacks with
an 80 passer rating.
Making matters worse
is the fact that the Bears
went all-in, trading two
first-round draft picks last
season for edge rusher
Khalil Mack and now will
have a hard time finding a
replacement in next year’s
draft if they decide to
move on from the 2017 No.
2 overall pick.
“There is a lot of real-
ly simple things that we
did last year that we do in
practice that on game day
we are coming up short,”
he said. “And that’s why
you have this crappy feel-
ing, and that’s where the
frustration comes. Losing
sucks.”
The questions about
Garoppolo heading into
the year were as much
about his durability as his
performance. He went
down with a season-end-
ing knee injury in Week 3
last season and had made
only 10 career starts in his
first five seasons, while
suffering two major inju-
ries.
He had some rough
moments in training camp
and the preseason, only
intensifying the criticism
that was only slightly qui-
eted by San Francisco’s
fast start behind a domi-
nant defense and running
game.
But Garoppolo deliv-
ered the best performance
last week in a 28-25 win at
Arizona when the defense
was gassed and the run-
ning game struggled to
get going.
He threw for 317 yards,
four TDs and no intercep-
tions, delivering several
big passes on third and
fourth down for San Fran-
cisco’s second four-touch-
down game in the past 16
years.
“We all know Jimmy
can throw it and get his
numbers,” coach Kyle
Shanahan said. “He’s
gotten it before. We ha-
ven’t needed it this year,
but he’s done it before. I
thought the most impres-
sive thing was the amount
of times we threw, how
many plays he made and
that we had no turnovers
with it.”
That’s been the prob-
lem with Winston, who
makes some of the most
impressive throws as well
as the most bone-headed.
He has thrown for 2,407
yards and 16 touchdowns
at the midpoint of the sea-
son. But he also has 12
interceptions and four lost
fumbles, giving him 92
turnovers in five seasons
— 16 more than the next
highest player.

has the potential to be
an SEC Freshman of the
Year candidate by sea-
son’s end once she finds
some consistency.
“I think sometimes
she’s trying to draw the
foul,” Schaefer said of
Jackson. “She just needs
to go up and finish, stop
worrying about drawing
a foul and just go up and
make a layup.”
Though the MSU
frontcourt will be a work
in progress, its backcourt
figures to be a strength
— albeit over time.
Senior Jordan Dan-
berry was unexpectedly
granted an extra season
of eligibility Aug. 20 and
should serve as the lead
guard in Schaefer’s of-
fense. A preseason first
team All-SEC selection,
Danberry averaged 13.1
points, 3.5 assists and
3.4 rebounds per game in
a more complementary
role.
In Holmes’ place, red-
shirt sophomore Myah
Taylor will take over the
point guard duties after
playing sparingly last
season. Taylor, who ap-
peared in 34 games last
year but averaged just
11.2 minutes per game,
showed a propensity for
playmaking in Monday’s
game as she finished the
night with eight assists to
no turnovers.
“With Jordan coming
back, having that extra
person that has played in
the SEC for so long, that
knows the ins and outs,
that works every posses-
sion, that voice beside
me gives me confidence,”
Taylor said.
Behind Danberry
and Taylor, junior sharp-
shooter Andra Espino-
za-Hunter and freshmen
JaMya Mingo-Young, Jay-
la Hemingway and Ali-
yah Matharu should see
significant time.
Espinoza-Hunter, a aging minutes against
one-time Connecticut
transfer, offered high up-
side as a 3-point shooter
last season after Bibby
went down — finishing
the year 16th in the na-
tion in 3-point percent-
age (42.2 percent).
Staying true to form,
she rattled home three
3-pointers Monday night
in a 10-point effort.
Mingo-Young, Hem-
ingway and Matharu
remain raw as they con-
tinue to learn Schaefer’s
offensive and defensive
schemes, though Matha-
ru played some encour-
the Chaparrals.
“She’s been really
good in practice breaking
people down and split-
ting the zone,” Schaefer
said Monday.
“Aliyah is trying to
play a position where
she’s kind of been the
off-guard in high school
a little bit,” he continued.
“I’ve seen her handle the
ball and run a team. I re-
ally believe that if she’ll
just listen and buy in a
little bit, I think she can
play some minutes for us
at point.”
Following his personal
game of tic-tac-toe with
the box score, Schaefer
was rather forthcoming
in his postgame presser.
Highlighting the need for
game experience and con-
sistency from his youthful
group, he conceded this
year’s team is going to
take time to find itself.
“We have a lot of inex-
perience on the floor and
I’m still trying to figure
out rotations,” he said. “I
tried to play everybody
and give everybody a
chance and so we’ll settle
it in practice now.”

faced this year. Caledo-
nia (5-5) travels to face
Corinth (9-1), the No. 3
team in Class 4A.
“You watch them on
film, they don’t have many
weaknesses,” Kelly said.
“They’ve got a senior-led
group of football players
that have all played to-
gether since they were
freshmen … They find
ways to get them the ball
in space and force us to be
disciplined and get lined
up on defense.”
Playing against a fun-
damentally strong team,
Kelly said, makes avoid-
ing turnovers even more
important for Caledonia.
“We need to take care
of the football better than
what we have the last cou-
ple weeks,” he said. “We
can’t afford to lay it on the
ground. We can’t give it to
the other team. They’re
gonna get plenty of oppor-
tunities on their own.”
Against a Warriors of-
fense that averages 42.3
points per game, the
’Feds’ linebackers and
safeties will have to pick
up their game.
“I feel like we need to
play better on defense
the next couple weeks
than what we have the
last couple weeks,” Kel-
ly said. “We need people
like Darquez Williams
and Dillon May to start
stepping up and making
more plays like they were
earlier in the year.”
The same holds true
for the ’Feds’ offensive
playmakers, including
quarterback Brandon Ed-
mondson, running back
Darrius Triplett and re-
ceiver Anthony Triplett.
“We’re gonna find a
way to get it to them and
let them do what they do,”
Kelly said.
Kelly, who knows Fri-
day could be the final
game for his seniors, is
hoping Caledonia can
play well enough to ex-
tend the season one more
week.
“You hate to lose them,
hate to see them go, but
that’s why I hope we play
well, and hopefully we’ll
get another chance to let
them play again next Fri-
day,” he said.
Columbus (3-7) at
Saltillo (1-10)
If Columbus (3-7) can
pull off a road win Friday
at Saltillo (1-10), the Fal-
cons would finish the sea-
son with twice as many
wins as they’ve had in the
past two seasons com-
bined.
That’s progress, coach
Joshua Pulphus said. But
Columbus won’t stop
there.
“We’ve got a whole lot
more work to do,” he said.
Pulphus knows Colum-
bus can’t afford to over-
look its final opponent
— despite Saltillo’s abys-
mal record, he said, the
Tigers have played plenty
of close games.
“Their record doesn’t
dictate how good they
are,” Pulphus said. “Saltil-
lo’s a pretty nice team.”
The Tigers have some
excellent athletes at re-
ceiver to lead a pass-hap-
py offense, something Co-
lumbus doesn’t see often.

Behind the play of ju-
nior quarterback Luke Al-
tmyer, who picked up an
offer from Louisville this
week, the Yellow Jackets
have scored 49 or more
points in three of their
past four games. In those
three games, Altmyer is a
combined 53 of 77 for 684
yards and 10 touchdowns.
“I think we’re just get-
ting better,” coach Chris
Jones said. “Early in the
season we were young.
Had a lot of kids that
hadn’t played a lot of foot-
ball, and I always feel like
the more you play, the

With the offense roll-
ing, Jones is hoping his
squad can ride the mo-
mentum it has gained
over the past two months
through season’s end and
into the postseason.
“Yes, we’ve won dis-

happens at once. Use downtime
for spiritual readiness. Envision
success.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). The luckiest thing you can
do is bring relationships into
harmony. It actually won’t take
much. A little help and cooper-
ation goes a long way, but the
very best thing you can give is
simply your attention.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). If you find yourself thinking
“this didn’t work” and “that
didn’t work,” it’s a clue that you
are performing to get a result
instead of the far more gratifying
process of developing yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). That person who makes
you feel more alive is definitely
lucky to be around, not because
anything in particular will hap-
pen, but because you’ll be more
aware of each moment.

one giant leap for mankind.

One small step for man,

Judge strikes down new Trump

rule on religious objections
By LARRY NEUMEISTER
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A fed-
eral judge on Wednesday
struck down a new Trump
administration rule that
could open the way for
more health care workers
to refuse to participate in
abortions or other pro-
cedures on moral or reli-
gious grounds.
U.S. District Judge
Paul A. Engelmayer said
the U.S. Health and Hu-
man Services Department
overstepped its authority
and went beyond existing
law in issuing the rule. He
also said that the measure
could be costly, burden-
some and damaging to
emergency care and that
the whole rationale for the
rule was based on a lie.
He said the depart-
ment’s claim that there
was a significant increase
in complaints about work-
ers being forced to vio-
late their conscience was
“flatly untrue.” The HHS
rule, he said, is a classic
“solution in search of a
problem.”
An HHS spokeswoman
had no comment.
Nineteen states, the
District of Columbia,
three local governments,
health organizations and
others had sued to block
the rule from taking ef-
fect Nov. 22, arguing that
it would be discrimina-
tory and would interfere
with people’s access to
health care.
“Today, the Trump
administration has been
blocked from providing
legal cover for discrimina-
tion,” said Alexis McGill
Johnson, acting president
of Planned Parenthood.
