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 See GAME, Page 8 ft ill MEGHAN PITTMAN |Ttaßuci ▲ Gienn Stegall, a 21-year-old political acionco major, jjuat completed his mayoral campaign.

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 term,” said Nora Blankenship, JobTREC program manager of the Athens Area Homeless Shelter.

Bike Athens Council member Richard Shoemaker, a retired teacher and University graduate, said it was always his dream to grow up to be a bicycle mechanic. . The BRP gives him a chance to experience the thrill of that dream, devoting several hours a week to the workshop, but the true merit of the program lies in who it helps. “It’s important to a segment of the Athens population you don’t • usually see,” he said.
