Firearms deer season set to start
Special to the Journal
White-tailed deer are the
most popular game animal
in Georgia, and since 96 per
cent of deer hunters pursue
this species using modern
firearms, they eagerly antic
ipate the opening day of fire
arms deer season Oct. 21.
Firearms season in
the Northern Zone runs
through Jan. 1, 2007 and
in the Southern Zone, the
season runs through Jan.
15, 2007. Last year, 228,848
licensed hunters harvested
274,175 deer using mod
ern firearms, according to
the Georgia Department of
Natural Resources, Wildlife
Resources Division.
Deer hunters can choose
from a variety of hunting
locations in Georgia.

That set up the “if” game.
In that, the Lady Hornets
scored three in the first, one
in the second and one in the
fifth to advance.
“I was just pleased,”
said head coach Rodney
Culverhouse. “Needless to
say they were a little ner
vous in the first inning of
the first game.
“But they held their com

All hunters should check
the 2006-2007 Georgia
Hunting Seasons and
Regulations, available at

or from license agents, for
any special county regula
tions, including either-sex
days and antler restrictions.
Hunters also should note
that the season bag limit
remains at 10 does and two
antlered bucks. Regarding
the buck limit, one of the
two must have at least four
points (one inch or longer)
on one side of the antlers.
There are no additional ant
ler restrictions except in
counties with special antler
restrictions.

them.
“In the second they left
some runners on but they
played good defense. They
didn’t let it (the loss) get
them down. They came out
there and scored right off
the bat.
“Their confidence just
began to build from that
point on.”

the blocking team.
Even if you take away
the blocked effort by All-
American candidate Gordon
Ely-Kelso, that’s still four
touchdowns scored by
Tennessee in the second
half.
We must have made the
Memphis Tigers defenders,
who gave up 41 points to
the Volunteers the week
before, feel pretty good
about themselves. At least
they didn’t let UT cross the
half-century barrier.
It was an innocent little
24-14 lead at halftime and
turned into a 51-33 embar
rassment. I expect that out
of BYU vs. Hawaii.
No one has ever accused
Phil Fulmer of running up
a score, and it’s not going
to happen here and now.
We Bulldogs went from wel
coming back our preseason
starting quarterback Joe T.
to wondering what is going
on with Joe T.O.
That’s what he’s going to
be referred to in this space
for at least a week. And it’s
a name probably already
coined by hoards of writ
ers and angry/sarcastic web
bloggers and radio callers in
two states.
No, it’s not comparing
Mr. Tereshinski to a cer
tain professional football
showoff named Owens.
There’s another thing T.O.
stands for, and it’s not time
out.
All you need to look at
is one line on the statisti
cal yardstick to see where
Tennessee really blew out
Georgia: The turnover
margin. The Bulldogs, Joe
T.O. to be specific, gave the
football away three times.
The Volunteers, with short
fields to work with each
time, turned them all into
points.
Georgia took the ball
away zero times. We were
also feast or famine in the
kick return game. Either
we broke loose all the way
or the Vols cleverly pinned
us in a corner.

exceptional well.”
As a team, Warner Robins’
girls finished 10th with 256
points. Northside was ninth
with 229.
Lovett was first overall.
It had 82 points and was
followed in the top five by
North Gwinnett with 83,
Pace Academy with 104,
Columbus with 159 and
Centennial with 172.
Individually, the
Demonettes were led by
Brittney Stewart, who
added yet one more first
place finish to a long list
of many. Elizabeth Lambert
led the Lady Eagles with a
14th-place finish.
For the boys over
all, Warner Robins was
eighth with 303 points and
Northside was 20th with
600.
Marc Kushinka was 23rd
to lead the Demons individ
ually while Daniel Gazaway
paced the Eagles with a
53rd-place finish.
On a sidenote, Caroline
Mauldin for Warner Robins
added another first to her
resume in the junior varsity
race.

edge of the red zone? By
the way, in case you haven’t
seen it, the points allowed
average shot up to 14.2.
When you think about
the back-to-back shutouts
Georgia had earlier in the
season (or was it about
10 or 12 years ago?), not
only doeß the other team’s
offense not drive the ball
down the field, but also you
don’t have takeaway scores
or the special teams break
downs.
And who would have
thought Georgia’s No. 1
touchdown-maker after
a month of play would
be ... fullback Brannan
Southerland with six. It’s
one of those things now you
wish you would have bet
on, but there’s no way you
would have made such a
wager in August.
There were some ques
tions concerning Joe T.O.’s
return as the starter, the
big one being would he fin
ish the game. Anyone who
doubted he would hit it
right on the nail. Matthew
Stafford had the honor of
the last series, which ended
the only way it could.
My question of the week:
Can you call it a quarter
back controversy when you
have more than one play
er vying for the starting
job and not one of them
is worth an empty sack of
dimes? Mark Richt might
be checking to see if Logan
Gray’s graduated yet.
Allow me to step off the
sorrow wagon and say once
again how blessed I feel
to be working in a county
with a high commitment to
quality high school athlet
ics. I could say that about
any community I’ve been
a part of the past 14 years,
but with Houston County
you’re talking about one
place with so many success
ful schools.
The only regretful thing I
can think of about this cur
rent prep football season
is that I can only be at one
game on a Friday night.
Usually that game turns out
to be an instant classic, like
the back-to-back weekends
when I saw two games each
decided when the trailing
team scored last but' failed
on the conversion try.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2006 ♦
Chuck Wagons
Then I hear about other
great games and can only
think about the issues that
arise from them and what’s
the impact on each coach’s
plan for the upcoming
week.
Let’s tip a hat to Houston
County High. The Bears get
not one but two unlikely
road victories at Parkview
and Lowndes High sand
wiched between that heart
breaking loss to Warner
Robins High at McConnell-
Talbert 10-9.
Depending on which soft
ball team you follow, playoff
time has either arrived or is
on the horizon. There have
been quite a few outstand
ing pitching performances
this fall, none better than
the seven-inning perfect
game thrown by Kristen
Graham of Warner Robins.
Again, I am unable to see
every game, and this is one
I had to read about in the
scorebook the next day. But
it didn’t stop me from mak
ing an astute observation to
anyone who cared to listen.
A no-hitter is a big deal,
especially one that goes the
full seven frames. But to
me a perfect game at the
high-school level is far more
impressive no matter whom
it’s against.
I’ve only covered fast
pitch softball since 2000,
but I’ve seen a lot of high
school baseball in these 14
years. In both these dia
mond sports, the one thing
a majority of the batters
will do is take pitches. I
think most coaches would
agree that a small percent
age of the high school hit
ters have mastered the art
of hitting; therefore, most
of them would rather take a
walk than look foolish with
a swing.
Graham’s perfect game
was against Colquitt County,
and the final score was 4-0.
The point is to go seven
innings and face 21 batters
without a walk is rare. And
a lot of the kids on the field
are still learning how to
play defense, so to not have
an error somewhere is like
a bonus gift.
Really, though, I don’t
care about any of this. We’re
starting to get basketball
schedules in here. Now the
real fun can begin.
