Evans has offensive niche
By LYA WODRASKA
Sports Writer
While Sean Hummings and
Andre Hastings are getting most
of the prees directed at the re
ceiving corps this year, split end
Damon Evans is quietly making
a few statements of his own.
After being redshirted his
freshman year and seeing lim
ited playing time last year,
Evans is pleasing both coaches
and teammates alike this
season.
The 6-3,185 pound sophomore
from Oakwood, Ga., is averaging
14.1 yards per reception, the
second highest average on the
team. He had his best game
against Alabama when he
caught three passes for 44 yards.
"Damon has come in and done
a good job for us this fall,”
Georgia coach Ray Goff said.
"We’re confident he’s going to get
even better.*
Wide receivers coach Bob Har
rison agrees.
“He’s been very consistent and
done everything we’ve asked of
him,” he said. “Every challenge
that has been put in front of him
he has come through and done
well.
“He’s done an outstanding job
this year,” quarterback Greg
Talley said. “Especially after Ar
thur Marshall got hurt and we
had to have some guys come in
and take his place. I feel confi
dent anytime I’m throwing to
Damon.”
Preston Jones, Georgia’s other
starting quarterback, said Evans
has become a key player for the
Bulldogs this year, especially in
tight coverage situations.
“He runs his patterns well,”
Jones said. “With his height Tm
able to throw the ball out there
for him and he has the ability to
go up and get it.*
Evans contributes his success
this season to a new attitude
after his red shirt year.
“I dedicated myself more,” he
said. “After my redshirt year I
told myself I had to work harder.
I worked really hard in the
weight room and on the field
running. But the biggest differ
ence was mv attitude.”
Evans, who as a senior in high
school was rated as the 13th best
prospect in Georgia by the At
lanta Journal-Constitution,
played for Gainesville High
where he caught a school-record
44 receptions in his senior year
and totaled 85 career receptions.
He was also named the MVP on
the 1986 basketball team and
1987 track team where he set a
school record 220 yard-dash in
22.2 seconds.
He credits his athletic
achievements to his parents.
“Both of my parents supported
me in anything I did,” Evans
said. “My father got me involved
in every kind of sport there is. He
never pushed me, he just put
them out there in front of me.”
Evans signed with the Bull
dogs in 1988 after turning down
scholarships from schools such
as Georgia Tech and Virginia.
“Georgia has a very good busi
ness school and that was impor-
Sophomore Damon Evans
irgia
also has great tradition and I
wanted to go where my parents
could watch me play.*
Asked if he’s bothered by the
pressure of playing on such a
young team, Evans only smiles
and shakes his head.
The fans are upset at us be
cause we’re only winning by one
or two points, but as long as we
win that is all that counts,” he
said. “Being on a young team
giV68 us a chance to mature and
we’re going to get better and
better every game we play.*
Evans will be a key player in
this weekend’s game with Ole
Miss as the Dogs try to bounce
back from last week’s 34-3 loss to
Clemson.
Midnight marks beginning
By MATTHEW BROWN
Contributing Writer
The hour of midnight is about
to fall on The University of
^ Georgia. It is time again for Mid
night Madness.
Midnight Madness is the tra
ditional opening tip-ofT for the
Georgia Bulldogs’ basketball
season, which begins Monday
morning October 15 at 12:01
a.m. This is the first day of prac-

Junior Utterial Green
tice for Coach Hugh Durham and
his defending SEC champions.
What started out as just a reg
ular practice session has turned
into a major event for the stu
dents at UGA. Coach Durham
started Midnight Madness in his
first season at Georgia. Eight
years later it was decided that
the students should participate
in order to build up interest in
the basketball program. Now,
several other SEC schools also
open their season in this
manner.
The Coliseum will be the site
for Midnight Madness and doors
will open at 11 p.m. This year’s
event will include free pizza and
Coke giveaways, a scrimmage
game, player competition (slam
dunk, etc.), and other surprises.
Last year, when 4,000 students
showed up, a color television was
given away.
Midnight Madness certainly
has to be a key motivating factor
for the Bulldog players and fans.
“It is a time for us to come to
gether as a team and to play in a
crowd situation,” said senior for
ward Lem Howard. “It is also a
good experience for the new
comers who have not played in
this situation before."
Howard, who averaged 3.3
points and 2.2 rebounds in 27
games for the champs last year,
feels that this year’s event will
be extra special.
“We are really hyped up and
know that we have a big chal
lenge ahead.”
Freshman guard Bernard
Davis looks forward to his first
Midnight Madness.
“I only know what the guys
have told me about it. It sounds
like lots of fun."
Durham, 219-149 in 12 pre
vious seasons at Georgia, is also
anxiously awaiting October 15.
“Midnight Madness has
changed greatly over the years,”
Durham said. “Our original pur
pose was to get the season
started, now it is a means of get
ting the fans involved through
participation.
It might be easy for a lot of
students to forget the apathy
shown towards the basketball
program in years past. But this
will be the first time in history
that the Georgia Bulldogs will be
defending a conference title.
Last season this campus wit
nessed an incredible come-from-
behind victory over the LSU Ti-
gers and many said that this
would be the turning point for fu
ture basketball seasons here at
the University. No more one-
sport school everyone said.
Well, this is your chance to
sneak a peek at Durham’s D<igs
and show your support. Pre
season picks already have the
Dogs ranked in the top 20. Could
this be a repeat-championship
season? Inquinng hoop-fans
want to know.
