Georgia Hunters for Hungry to begin early
Special to the Journal
The Georgia Hunters for
the Hungry is a program
through which harvested
deer become nutritious ven
ison to benefit those who
need it the most.
Hunters donated more
than 733 deer during the
2005 collection and in total,
more than 170,000 pounds
of venison have been donat
ed since the program began
in 1993, according to the
Georgia Department of
Natural Resources, Wildlife
Resources Division.
Hunters can donate deer
in one of two ways - at one
of seven weekend collection
sites that will be available on
Nov. 25-26 and from Sept. 9
- Jan. 1, 2007 at seven addi
tional collection sites hosted
by deer processors.
Hunters interested in par
ticipating in GHFTH should

The Demons began on the
Panthers’ 45 following the
kickoff. The first play from
scrimmage yielded little but
on the second, quarterback
Mark Wright Jr., connect

Carswell punched it in from

“true Warrior fashion and
gave 100 percent.” However,
his height - 5-foot-7 - and
the fact the Stars kept pen
etrating the Warriors’ line
didn’t bode well for him.
“As quick and swift as
he is,” Hamp said, at that
height, “seeing over a defen
sive line standing up to
6-foot-6 presented a prob
lem.”
To that end, Sturn threw
three interceptions in the
first half and the Warriors
overall trailed 14-0.
“This was the first time
this season that the Warriors
did not draw first blood and
the first time this season
that the ICW defense did not
score,” Hamp said.
Realizing the passing
game was not going to
work, Hamp said head coach
Jarrod Johnson and staff
revised their game plans and
“started hammering their
way through with what some
call the biggest and toughest
backs in the league.”
Donovan Kendrick had a
couple good runs, Hamp said,
but couldn’t get the offen
sive line to open the hole
any of the drop-off locations
(see below).
All hunters who donate a
deer during this collection
period will be entered into
a drawing for a deer rifle,
sponsored by the Georgia
Wildlife Federation.
The following seven
locations will be available
between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m.
Nov. 25-26:
■ Social Circle - WRD Fish

miles north of Exit 101 off

after touchdown made it 16-
0.
The Panthers kicked a field
goal - only that thanks in
great part to a Demons stop
on third-and-two on the 9
- early in the second quarter
to make it 16-3 and that’s
how it stayed at the half.
Parkview, with a little help
from a major penalty, did
make an attempt to get back
in the ballgame in the third.
After forcing Warner Robins
to punt, it took over on the
32. After a couple of runs,
Warner Robins’ Luke Waller
needed to break through the
line and pick up some seri
ous yardage.
At 5-foot-10, 185 pounds,
Greg Williams played on
both sides of the ball. When
presented the opportunity to
carry the ball, Hamp, who
added Williams averages
two-three yards per carry,
said it took “two-three oppo
nents to bring him to the
ground.”
Jerome Harris at
180 pounds and Daniel
McClendon at 210 wreaked
havoc, Hamp said, as they
pushed their way down the
field.
“Fear,” Hamp said, pen
etrated the hearts of the
Stars’ defense when the big
man, Tamarco Head charged
toward them. Head at 6-

and think, ‘Man, this
is nothing compared to
playing all those guys in
Williamsport.’
(I should continue talk
ing about baseball and then
jump into my University of
Georgia football comments,
right? WiU do.)
Maybe this will be my
way of lighting a fire under
the Atlanta Braves. John
Smoltz seems to have
stopped making his weekly
motivational addresses.
So the streak of division
championships is likely
over. Not only that, but
the Braves are close to not
being in the postseason at
all for the first time since
1991. In that same time
span, I have gone from
being a college student to
a college graduate to work
ing in Jesup for six years
to working in Americus for
six years to now working in
Houston County.
The only thing I can think
of that’s lasted longer than
the Braves playoff streak is
my sister’s marriage, and
that was in 1990. (Of course
my folks have been together
much longer, but that would
be stretching the point).
There is still a month to
go, and the National League
wild card is still up for
grabs. But the Braves have
so much ground to make up
just to get to .500, and there
are too many teams ahead
of them in line already
above the .500 mark.
So what’s the problem?
Well, there are no rookie
sensations tearing up the
league, no consistently
dominant starting pitching,
and the bullpen. Actually,
the Braves made two good
pickups with Danys Baez
and Bob Wickman, two All-
Star relievers, but probably
too late to salvage this sea
son. And Andruw Jones?
Do they want him, or do
they not want him?
Here’s something that
would be just as strange
as not seeing the Braves in
the postseason. Right now I
would say the Boston Red
Sox are a lock for missing
out on the party. Yes, the
Red Sox, World Champions
two years ago, always play
ing the New York Yankees
in a big series, but not
this time. Why is that so
bizarre? Well, the Red Sox
became one of those fran
chises that looked like it
could get anybody it wanted
because it has everything
a big-league player wants.
There’s a rabid fan base, a
classic ballpark in Fenway
just loaded with tradition
and mystique, and that
Yankee rivalry that defines
the sport.
Now David Ortiz has seri
ous health issues. Manny
may decide to be Manny
elsewhere in the offseason,
and Curt Shilling’s tank
may have run out.
The Yankees pulled away

League East, and the AL wild
card is a two-horse sprint
between the Minnesota
Twins and Chicago White
Sox, last year’s champi
ons. It, too, would be weird
to not see the defending
champs in the playoffs and
all the potential headlines
with fiery manager Ozzie
Guillen. For a while there,
the St. Louis Cardinals
didn’t seem like a lock any
more for the NL Central,
not because the Cincinnati
Reds were surging but that
the Cards were slipping. ...
Time for the Bulldog
Talk. Love the Bulldog
Talk. Someone tried to tell
me there was some Georgia
Tech Talk in here last week.
Don’t believe it.
I want to address the
Bulldog Nation on the big
gest subject of the discus
sion ever since January.
Who is going to be the start
ing quarterback? Georgia
has four quarterbacks, and
only one can be the starter.
Mark Richt says that is the
senior, Joe Tereshinski, who
now has two starts in his
Bulldog career, one more
than the other three com
bined.
What seems to be every
one’s big worry and concern
is not so much who is start
ing, but who isn’t start
ing. What about' Matthew
Stafford? What about Joe
Cox? Are any of them going
to leave, transfer out, if
they don’t get to play in the
big games?
You could say that either
Richt is being loyal to the
senior, or he truly believes
Tereshinski has earned the
starting job. If Stafford or
Cox or even Blake Barnes
had shown that he deserves
to be No. 1, then you would
think he would be No. 1.
This isn’t the first time in
recent Bulldog history such
a logjam existed. There
were guys who came in
with all the credentials, but
couldn’t get the job done
at that level (Mike Usry).
And there were those who
found it better to take
their game elsewhere and
had good results (Daniel
Cobb, Auburn; Nate Hybl,
Oklahoma).
Stafford looks to be
the one everyone’s excit
ed about, but unless he’s
about to supplant Notre
Dame’s Brady Quinn as the
top Heisman candidate he
should just wait his turn.
Since Richt inserted him
into the Western Kentucky
game in the fourth quarter,
there’s no red shirt in his
immediate future.
Not that it’s a major
insult to save a year of eli
gibility. David Greene did
it. D.J. Shockley did it. Cox
and Barnes did it.
Logan Gray, you get ready
to do it, too.
Did Tereshinski look like
a Southeastern Conference
championship quarterback
on Saturday? No, but he
really didn’t have to against
the Hilltoppers.
I still carry visions of him
as a punt-team protector.
