One can enjoy a produc¬

offers modern resort luxu¬

coastal wilderness.

TECH from IB
records of games in which
said ineligible athletes par¬
ticipated.
Curiously, no one at
Tech or the NCAA knows
quite what this means,
aside from the fact that
Tech strolled into the
Orange Bowl Saturday
night with a rather large
chip on its shoulder.
Maligned and mocked
all week long, Tech poured
out its emotions with a
vengeance.
“These guys have a
tremendous ability to com¬
partmentalize,” Gailey said
on the field after Tech’s 14-
10 win.
“They put all the junk to
the side and play the game.
All the other stuff they
can't control. What we can
control is what happened
out there.”
What happened out
there was this: Tech sacked
Miami quarterback Kyle
Wright seven — count ’em,
seven — times.
Tech held Miami to 30
yards rushing on 30
attempts.
When Miami charged to
the Tech 12-yard-line mid¬
way through the fourth
quarter, Tech stuffed two
running plays in a row to
end the drive.
When Miami tore down
the field one last time, Tech
intercepted.
Reggie Ball directed an
offense that made not a sin¬
gle turnover. Tashard
Choice ran for 84 yards in
his first start. Calvin
Johnson was, well, Calvin
Johnson.
In short, Tech took the
field against the third
ranked team in the country
and was clearly the superior
side.
“The heart of this foot¬
ball team is immeasurable,”
Gailey said.
“Not anyone believed it
could happen.”
Now, Tech faces a really
difficult week. It’s not “us
against the world” any¬
more.
The Yellow Jackets’
bandwagon can’t begin to
hold everyone who wants to
clamber aboard.
Now, instead of believ¬
ing Tech has no chance,
everyone believes Tech
should beat Georgia. All
else aside, didn’t Tech go to
Auburn and beat a Tiger
team that Georgia couldn’t
beat at home?
This will be very inter¬
esting.
The hallmark of the
Gailey Era at Tech is the
ability to overcome adver¬
sity, and the inability to
deal with prosperity. If
Gailey’s group can string
together back-to-back mon¬
ster wins for the first time,
maybe he deserves that new
contract.

SHOOTOUT from IB
opener against county rival North
Forsyth, jumping out to a 13-5 first
quarter lead before soaring to a 59-34
victory in the first round of their Turkey
Shootout.
Defense, turnovers and fouls ruled the
game with neither team showing any sus¬
tained offensive prowess.
“We played really good defense,” said
South head coach David Sokol. “The
defensive effort was there. But, the game
wasn’t too exciting to watch. There just
wasn’t any offensive rhythm.”
North head coach Phil Moore, whose
team only scored eight points in the first
half, said baskets were just hard to come
by.
We just had a hard time scoring. We
couldn’t make shots,” Moore said 1 . “South
played good defense, and in first half we
just struggled to score.”
North and South combined to shoot 45
free throws in the game, nearly ruining

any chance for offensive consistency
from either team.
“There were a lot of breakdowns on
our part,” Sokol said. “A lot of guys did¬
n’t know where they were going, creating
turnovers or fouling. There was just no
rhythm, no flow. It was a variety of things
as well as [North’s] defense.”
Sokol attributes many of the miscues
to players trying too hard in their season’s
first game. “We probably had some guys
pressing or trying to do too much in our
home opener against a rival school,”
Sokol said. “It being our first game, that
is somewhat normal; it is just human
hature. Hopefully that will stop with a
couple more games under our belt.”
The same was true for the visiting
Raiders.
“Part of it was the first game, plus we
had a couple of players starting their first
varsity game,” Moore said. “We were
missing a starter in Payton Light. We had

too many turnovers and we just didn’t
handle South’s pressure like we should
have in the half court. They just got after
us on defense and we didn’t execute to
get better shots.”
For South, Jacob Patterson and Ryan
Lively led all scorers with 15 and 12
points respectively, while North was led
by senior Michael Rubio with six points,
followed by Kyle Womack with five.
Both teams are slated to play today
with North tipping off against Woodstock
at 2:30 p.m. and South set to face St.
Francis at 8:30. St. Francis beat
Woodstock 60-52 Saturday. Also playing
on the boys side are Gainesville versus
Forsyth Central after Gainesville beat
Westminster 61-41 and Central beat
Cross Keys 55-32. Westminster will play
Cross Keys in the loser’s bracket.
