• Southbridge 5K Fun Run on November 4 to Support Independent Living

Southbridge, a premier golf and spa community in west Chatham County, will host a 5K Fun Run on Saturday, November 4 at 9:30 a.m. to support Living Independence for Everyone (LIFE), a Savannah- based, non-profit organization which provides services for people of all ages and all disabilities.

“This non-profit works with our friends, relatives, neighbors and co-workers in our community,” said Kara Kavanagh, a Southbridge resident who is organizing the event. “We want local residents to show their community support and sponsor, participate or donate to support this life-changing organization.”

Money raised from the event, which is open to the public, will help dozens of individuals receive adaptive equipment and assistive devices that will allow them to live independently. LIFE’s Home Modification Program helps provide individuals with wider doorways, roll in showers, lift chairs, ramps, grab bars and hand rails. These minor changes often determine whether a disabled individual can live independently or must go to a nursing or group home.

“This is a great event for a great cause,” said Sue Onofrio, director of marketing at Southbridge. “We hope to make this 5K Fun Run an annual tradition at Southbridge.”

The event kicks off at 9 a.m. with a Kiddie Run for children ages 10 and younger at the Grand Lake Lodge and Spa. The 5K Fun Run starts at 9:30 a.m. The cost is $5 for children and $15 for adults and includes a T-shirt.

Southbridge is looking for volunteers to help out before, during and after the event. Sponsorships are also available. To sponsor, volunteer, or donate prizes for 5K Fun Run, please call the Southbridge office at (912) 651-5400 or e-mail Kara Kavanagh at KaraKav@yahoo.com

BASS TOURNAMENT FOR MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION

by Robert Palmer

On Saturday, September 30th, at daybreak, the Second Annual Bass Tournament to benefit the "MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION" for Georgia and Alabama sponsored by Bass Anglers Plus was held at the Millstone Landing in Hardeeville, South Carolina.

All the money from the entries will go to the "MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION" in Southeast Georgia. The goal was to have 100 boats entered. This would grant two wishes for the kids in our area.

The weigh-in was at 3:30p.m. and during the weigh-in refreshments were served, hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad and pork and beans plus drinks. However, only 40 boats were entered and the check made out to the MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION was for $2000.

The largest fish caught was by Melody and Wayne Connor weighing in at nine and one half pounds and second place for five fish total weight. The Connor’s checks were for $400 and one for $500. Alan Sumner and Vic Velagosta took first place in total weight for five fish and they split $1200. Third place went to Adrian Williams, not present for awards but $300, for third place total weight for five fish, his check was accepted by his parents .

Falcons Report

The Good The Bad & The Ugly

By Richard Palmer, RichardC on the Atlanta Falcons Message Board

Getting a perspective on the first 1/4 of the season:

Good teams find ways to win games. This is the NFL and the margin between the best and the mediocre is minimal. 1.3 yards per play and 11 points separates the best from the middle of the pack on offense.

Perspective is always nice and typically, not all cases, but typically, defenses have the advantage early in the season because they are fresh, healthy and defense is more about hustle and blowing things up than execution and perfection. Offense on the other hand requires an orchestrated execution by 11 men of varying skill sets. This level of timing and perfection requires repetition and experience that can only be gained in real games.

Our offense started the season smokin' and took the league by surprise. Now Defenses are catching up and adjusting. Now our offense will adjust to their adjustments and the game continues throughout the season. Our defense is strong, but we will probably not remain as strong as we are now because offenses will get better and they will adjust to what we do on defense.

We forget that the teams we are playing have great athletes and good coaches who are also trying to win the game. Their job is to stay up late at night studying what we do and try to devise ways to cause us problems in games. They are going to try everything possible to counter what we do best. But the good teams keep focused and make a play to overcome what the opposition is doing.

I heard Deion say one time, "A play don't care who makes it, but someone is going to make a play." Our defense made a lot of plays on Sunday and secured the win for us, Likewise our Special teams gave good field position for most of the game to both our offense and Defense. Of course we want our Defense to stop every drive and our offense to score a TD on every drive. Reality in the NFL says otherwise.

My Stat Rant:

A friend of mine talked me into playing Fantasy football this year. I told him I didn't know how to play, and didn't really have the time to play but agreed to try it. Honestly, I can't say that I really like it. It Kind of reminds me of when I was a kid and these guys would trade baseball cards and would talk about the "ERA" and half a dozen other stats for each player. They would talk about a player like he was the best in the league. I would say, “But the Pirates won the World Series last year and he's not on their team so who cares about those numbers?" They would look at me like I was just plain stupid, then ignore me.

They didn't think I understood; but I believed the opposite. I believed they didn't understand. They didn't understand teamwork. They didn't understand camaraderie. They didn't understand the rush that came from a win. A win that was hard fought. A win that despite everything that went wrong in a game, your team overcame it all, kept fighting and WON!

For those of you who are stat freaks, it should at some point become apparent to you that numbers by themselves mean very little. Here are a just a few examples of why stats don't tell you the real story: What is a completion %? People say Vick must be at the 60% completion mark. This seems logical and would appear to make complete sense (pun intended). Well, here is the math:

12 of 20 = 60%

11 of 20 = 55%

21 of 35 = 60%

20 of 35 = 57%

24 of 40 = 60%

23 of 40 = 58%

Does that one extra pass completion make that much difference? Do you really think Vick should dump a pass off to someone for a 2 yard completion when he can run the ball and pick up 8-10 yards?

Furthermore; and I won't get too deep into this, but if you are the top passing team in the league (Eagles) and your completion percentage is 61.1% and you have racked up 921 yards passing on 113 attempts after 3 games, then you are averaging 8.15 yards per completion. BUT, you only have a 61% chance of getting that 8.15 yards. Vick on the other hand gets 8.8 yards average EVERY time he runs the ball.

Do you understand the difference? Vick gets and average of 8.8 yards 100% of the time vs. 8.1 yards 61.1% of the time by McNabb when he passes. However, if I go to far into this, it will become very ironic as I will be using stats to argue against using stats.

In the context of a game, you call plays based on your "situation." If you are down by 3 points with 50 seconds left at halftime, then again at the end of the game and you are kicking off, you are probably going to go for an onside kick. The kicker's stats are not going to look good if that's the case. 2 kicks of 10 or 12 yards would be terrible to your stats.

If your defense is playing very well, then you are probably not going to be very risky on offense because you know that a turnover could change the game and that all you need to do is chew the clock and keep your defense rested and put safe points on the board.

If a team is down by 17 points, they are going to probably call higher risk/higher reward plays. The defense is going to try to prevent those high reward plays from happening. As a result they are going to give up the low yardage plays. The result will be that the QB will probably throw more, probably complete more and may end up with a lot of yards, but will still lose.

So, a high completion and yards by a QB does not mean a good game. The defense will yield those short yardage plays, so their pass defense stats will look bad because they "give up" a lot of yards. Yet they will win.

Do you get it? Maybe this will sum it all up this week. They say "once a Marine, always a Marine;" so I'll reference a saying we had in the Corps that I always thought captured the mentality of being a Marine. The saying goes like this? "What do they call 2nd place in the Marine Corps?" Pause .....for .....effect. "Dead." It doesn't matter how you win, just win.

Here is my Good, Bad and Ugly of this win.

The Good:

Defense, Defense and more Defense. I love it. I know everyone hates the weekly "lets name this defense" but…. We need to name this defense. They deserve it. What's even better is that I think they are getting better.

Gravy Jackson - WOW. What else can I say? If you have a tape of the game, go back and watch just the defensive plays and focus on Grady every play he is in the game. You will see.

DeMo - Demarrio Williams is playing like he is possessed.

Boley - He is clearly possessed

D-Hall - He can mimick PrimeTime all he wants. He is playing the ball, not the guy. He has confidence and while he made the pro-bowl last year… This is his breakout year.

Norwood - Just something more for the opposition to have nightmares about.

Offense - Most would say we had a bad offensive day, If a bad day is racking up 262 yards on the ground and adding another c-note+ in the air… I'll take that any day. Most importantly even though Dunn was getting stuffed we stayed with it and kept running. Personally I think that was "one" of the mistakes we made in Nawlins.

Lelie - OMG. What a vision of beauty. The image of him catching that ball goes right up there in my football visionbank with Chuck Smith causing Randall Cunningham to fumble that ball in the NFCCG in 1998. The vision of Jesse Tuggle recovering that fumble in the GA dome during the Divisional Playoff game in 1998 when Steve Young was sacked and fumbled the ball. It was a vision of change.

That one single pass represents a change and the next level of success for our offense. The beloved and hallowed Deep Ball. Something that is remiss in most offenses these days, but the one thing that will strike pangs of fear into DB's. More importantly it keeps DB's downfield and allows our run game to flourish.

Special Teams - Put both our offense and defense in good situations all day long. Kicking was excellent. Each kickoff (except the one after Koenen made that 51 yarder) landed just inside the goal line causing the return man to run it out and into our coverage. 6 field goals. I'd rather have not had to kick them, but since we did I was awfully glad we made them. All of them.

Our divisional schedule/outlook - We play the two toughest teams at home (Carolina and Nawlins). We play Tampa in Tampa Bay in December… I'm planning a road trip cause I'm pretty confident we will sweep them this year (Finally).

The Bad:

Offensive Line: We sustained some injuries and that hurt our run capabilities. Maybe we need to consider carrying more active O-Lineman since our run game is so important. Just a thought.

Crump droppings: Ya, they looked like crap. I hated to see it. I know he will be OK. Vick keeps forcing it to him, he will make 5 or 6 in a row and these drops will become something that will only be brought up by people posting silly thoughts on message boards.

The Ugly:

Watching us flip, flop and wallow in the red zone like a fish out of water. I'm confident it will get fixed, but it was ugly to watch.

High School Sports

By C. Edward Wilson

Softball

Groves High School pitcher Krystle Frost pitched a no-hitter on Tuesday afternoon against Johnson High. Frost’s no-hitter lead the Rebels to an easy 11-0 win over the Atomsmashers in a Region 3-AAAAA softball game. Fortunately, for Johnson the mercy rule after the fifth inning was in effect.

It was the first no-hitter of the season for Frost (7-1), a senior right-hander who struck out eight and walked two. The Rebels improved to 13-4 overall and 8-0 in Region 3-AAAAA.

The loss dropped the Atomsmashers (5-8, 3-6) three games under .500 in both overall and regional records.

"It's really just a team effort," Frost said. "You can't win ballgames without the team."

Groves’s batters blasted out 11 hits. Tiffany Munn led the way by going 2-for-2 with three RBIs, giving her 25 for the season. Also for the Rebels, Jessica Weimerskirk was 2-for-3 with three stolen bases and three runs, Kate Powell was 2-for-4 with an RBI, and Bailey Bazemore was 1-for-3 with three runs.

"We hit the ball well," said first-year Groves Coach Chuck Smith. "We did a nice job of running the base paths. We were aggressive. We did a good job of putting a lot of pressure on them."

GHS 421 40 -11 7 1

SCJ 000 00 -0 0 4

W-Krystle Frost (7-1). L-Jaime Guinup (5-8). Leading hitters-GHS, Tiffany Munn 2-2, 3 RBIs, Jessica Weimerskirk 2-3, 3 stolen bases, 3 runs, Kate Powell 2-4, RBI, Bailey Bazemore 1-3, 3 runs. Records-GHS 13-4, 8-0 Region 3-AAAAA; SCJ 5-8, 3-6.

Football

The Groves versus Windsor Forest football game tipping off Friday at Savannah Country Day will probably decide more than what meets the eye. The Rebels, fresh off a loss to Camden County, will be trying to rebound against the Knights, who boast one of the best teams in the area.

Groves quarterback Cameron Tillman will have to be on target this week to get the Rebels offense in sync after being shutout by the Wildcats last week.

Windsor Forest running back Douglas Walker is still the premiere running back in the area this year, even though some would consider Franklin Green of Jenkins and Antwain Wright of Effingham County as a little better. What Walker brings to the field for the Knights is consistency and team leadership. He rarely turns the ball over and the defense (led by Donnell Collins) will be a handful for Groves Coach Karl Demasi’s offense.

Demasi’s son, Russell is doing a fine job at quarterback this year for the Red Raiders. The junior starter has kept his team in every game this year, even though SCPS lost to McIntosh Academy last week.

OUTDOOR TRUTHS

(Editor’s Note: Outdoor Truths is a weekly sportsman's article that appears in newspapers and regional magazines across 13 states in the South, and Midwest. It is a blend of observations and experiences that have come over time from being in God's great outdoors. We’re proud to offer this column for the outdoor sportsmen in our area.)

I had been in the stand only 15 minutes when the doe appeared. When she crossed the path that I came in on, she immediately smelled an unfamiliar odor. She followed it with her eyes to my tree stand. Now, she was at full alert, trying to bring into focus the blob that was in the tree.

She moved to my left trying to wind me, but was unable to satisfy her curiosity until I had come to full draw. I landed, what I thought, was a good shot. It was a little high, but I was sure it did the job.

Instead of a pass- through shot, the arrow stayed planted in her side. I knew this would present a few problems, but I was still confident.

After nearly three hours, I left without finding the deer or even one spot of blood. My disappointment still haunts me: Not the disappointment that comes from a missed opportunity, but the kind that comes because shot deer are meant to be found, and are meant to supply food for the table. Otherwise, it’s a needless death.

For nearly three hours I hunted for that one lost, and wounded doe. I was not concerned with “spooking” a buck by rambling around, or in getting back into the stand to find another one. I was intent on finding the one that had strayed, and was now lost.

It was more important to me, for her sake, to leave the others in order to find her. My heart was literally broken when I left unsuccessful.

As I thought about this story that had played out, I was reminded of the story in the Bible about the lost sheep. That story tells about a shepherd who had 100 sheep. One of the little lambs became lost, and instead of staying with the 99 that were together, he went after the one that had gone astray.

This was the illustration Jesus used to describe God’s desire, and love for each of us.

The Bible says that He sent Jesus to seek and to save those who are lost. You may think that God wants nothing to do with you because you have wandered away. You may think that He has no desire to find one when He has 99 others. But that’s not God’s way.

His way is the way of the deer hunter who searches diligently for the one that is wounded, hurt, and lost. His way is the way of persistence. And His heart is broken when the lost are not found.

Bean Spouts

For those of you who are curious, I took the week off to move. Let’s get to it…

Since I wasn’t here last week, I missed out on sending along birthday wishes to Tom. Happy belated birthday, man…

Da Braves.

The good guys wrapped up their 2006 season with a 4-52 week last week, and finished 79-83, 19 games behind the division winning Mets. They kick off their 2007 campaign with Spring Training the last week of February…

So, that game Julie and I went to on her birthday last month- turns out that was the first time in team history (not just Atlanta, but Boston and Milwaukee, too) that they have won a game after trailing by four or more runs in extra innings- and just the fifth time in the past 50 years that any team has garnered an extra innings win with a deficit of four runs or more…

Chipper Jones and Andruw Jones have combined for 641 homers over the past 10 seasons (1997-2006)- the highest total for a pair of teammates during that span. The next closest total comes from Houston's Jeff Bagwell and Lance Berkman, who have combined for 529.

Of course, Jones & Jones still trail the powerful 10 year duo in franchise history- from 1954-63, Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews combined for 692 homers…

Despite Tim Hudson’s second lackluster campaign in a row for the team, he joins Carl Hubbell and Andy Pettitte as the only pitchers since 1920 to post a winning record with at least 10 wins in each of the first eight seasons of their careers…

Third base coach Fredi Gonzalez left the team Tuesday after being named the new manager of the Marlins, who fired manager Joe Girardi the same day…

The team moved towards solidifying next year’s pitching by signing Bob Wickman to a contract extension and exercising their 2007 option on John Smoltz…

Mike Hampton reported no problems after his simulated game prior to Saturday night’s game against the Astros. Hampton says he’s steadily recovering the elbow ligament replacement surgery he underwent around this time last year.

"It was good to be back out there," said Hampton…

Mo’ baseball.

My predictions for the post-season: Twins over the Padres in a six game World Series…

Dawgs struggle.

UGA had to rally for the second straight week to notch a 14-9 win over Mississippi Saturday.

Kregg Lumpkin ran for 101 yards and Matthew Stafford directed two second half touchdown drives as Georgia improved to 21-2 on the road in the five years of the Mark Richt era.

The team expects junior quarterback Joe Tereshinski to return this week after recovering from an ankle sprain, giving Richt a more experienced hand at the position.

Cox and Stafford completed just five of 15 passes for 30 yards in the first half and 11 of 28 overall for 115 yards.

This week, the Dawgs face a much tougher test as they return home to face Tennessee…

Junior Charles Johnson was named the SEC's Defensive Lineman of the Week Monday. Johnson led the Bulldogs defense with four tackles, two sacks, one pass breakup and two third down stops Saturday. He’s the conference leader with nine tackles for loss this year and he leads the team with 3.5 sacks.

UGA’s defense limited Ole Miss to 243 total offensive yards on 57 plays and is ranked number one nationally in scoring defense, allowing just 6.8 points per game.

The Player of the Week honors were the second for Johnson this year- he was given the honor after the South Carolina game as well…

Tech take ACC division lead.

The Yellow Jackets used a stifling defense and stellar special teams play to put a 38-27 whooping on Virginia Tech in Blacksburg Saturday. Tech used a blocked punt to set up a 25 yard touchdown drive and scored a defensive TD on a 38 yard fumble return.

Calvin Johnson had six catches for 115 yards and two scores. "We were humiliated last year. We had a chip on our shoulders," he said.

The Yellow Jackets had a 21-0 lead less than 11 minutes into the game.

With the good, there’s also the bad, as Reggie Ball was just nine of 16 for 176 yards and two INTs to go along with the two TDs he tossed.

The win vaulted Tech to 18th in the AP Top 25. This week, the Jackets return to Bobby Dodd Stadium to host Maryland…

Middle linebacker Philip Wheeler was named the FWAA/Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week for last week. Wheeler had eight tackles- 2.5 for loss and two sacks for 22 yards in losses. He also forced a fumble that was returned for a TD.

Wheeler was also named ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week and is Tech's leading tackler with 35. He leads the ACC and ranks eighth nationally with 8.5 tackles for loss, and shares the ACC lead with four sacks…

Eagles rebound.

Georgia Southern evened its record at 2-2 with a 24-14 win over Western Carolina Saturday night. Chris Covington had 106 yards rushing and scored two touchdowns and Travis Clark added a TD pass in the win.

Falcons “D” saves day again.

For the third time in four games, the Atlanta defense held their opponent without a touchdown and cornerback DeAngelo Hall scored on a 36 yard interception return as the Falcons shut down the Cardinals 32-10 Sunday.

Morten Andersen, signed to take over short range kicking duties, equaled a career high with five field goals.

Michael Vick had his second 100 yard rushing game of the year and seventh of his career- extending his NFL record for quarterbacks- gaining 101 yards on 11 carries. Still, the Falcons failed to score a touchdown on six trips inside the Arizona 20 yard line.

This weekend, the Falcons have a bye. They return to action against the Giants next weekend…

Jags fall.

Jacksonville dropped to 2-2 on the year, falling to the Redskins 36-30 Sunday. Washington QB Mark Brunell was 18 of 30 for 239 yards and three scores against his former teammates. Byron Leftwich was 21 of 35 passes for 289 yards and three TDs in a losing cause.

This week, Jacksonville returns home to host the Jets…

Racin.’

Tony Stewart ran out of gas on the last lap, but had enough momentum to take home the checkered flag in Sunday’s Banquet 400 in Kansas City. Casey Mears finished second, followed by Mark Martin, Dale Jarrett and Jeff Burton.

This week’s race is the UAW-Ford 500 at Talladega…

So, that’s about all for this week, boys and girls. I'll be back next time with more news, notes, and rumors from the sports world. As always, send your questions, praises, or gripes to RobBeanSports@yahoo.com, or via snail mail to:
