Tkompkins to miss
with ankle sprain
By MITCH BLOMERT
The Red & Black
The men’s basketball team is finally
moving into the newly-renovated
Stegeman Coliseum, but without its star
player on the court.
Starting forward and SEC Preseason
Player of the Year Trey Thompkins will
not play in tonight’s exhibition game
against Augusta State after suffering a
high ankle sprain during a scrimmage,
head coach Mark Fox said Wednesday.
“We’re going to do what’s best for this
kid first,” Fox said. “We’re going to make
sure he’s healthy before he plays. Knowing
Trey and his competitive drive, that will
be a struggle we’ll probably run into in a
week when he’ll want to come back a lit
tle earlier than anybody wants him to.”
There is no clear answer for when
Thompkins will return. Fox said his
chances of playing in the Bulldogs’ regu
lar season opener against Mississippi
Valley State at home next Friday are
“extremely slim.”
"It could be two weeks, it could be a
month,” Fox said. “It kind of depends on
how he responds to the treatment. We
basically have left it where we’re going to
treat him as aggressively as we can and
re-evaluate him in a week.”
Thompkins led Georgia with 17.7
points and 8.3 rebounds per game last
season, earning a unanimous All-SEC
first-team selection. A sure 2010 NBA
Draft selection, he turned down the pros
to return for his junior year.
To combat the loss, the Bulldogs will
rely on added depth, most notably at for
ward where seniors Chris Barnes and
Jeremy Price will play tonight.
“They’ve both played both spots up
front and have some comfort level

The Red & Black
Now that his campaign for
the Athens mayoral seat is
over, Glenn Stegall has time to
be a normal 21-year-old college
student again.
“What most students might
find interesting is that I’ve
never had a fake ID and I’ve
never gone to a bar downtown,
so now that the campaign is
over I can probably do that,’’
Stegall said. “And I’m 21 years
old.”

One man’s junker is another

BikeAthens’ Bicycle
Recycling Program.
Operating out of the Chase
Street Warehouses, the Bike Athens
workshop allows volunteers to put
themselves to work studying, strip
ping and salvaging worn-out bicy
cles that would normally go toward
a landfill. Fortunately, these beaten
bikes are given a second chance at
utility when they pass through the
workshop and into needy hands.
Mike Ely, Bike Athens board
member and BRP co-manager,
cited the Athens Area Homeless
Shelter, the Salvation Army and
the Family Counseling Services of
Athens, Inc. as the three largest
benefactors of the program.
“We provide some transporta
tion assistance, but nothing long

JobTREC program manager of the
Athens Area Homeless Shelter.

The BRP gives him a chance to
