Broadway St., Forest City Not Just Oil, Pennzoil Watkins to be a Tiger, Chase Easily Wins How do you tell the world where you plan to attend to play college football at? Well, Carlos Watkins and Trojans got a little creative on Friday night. Watkins, primed as one of the top recruits in the nation as a defensive tackle, drove a golf cart decorated in orange and purple balloons through a banner to say that he indeed would a be Clem- son Tiger next season. Watkins narrowed his choices to either Clem- son or Florida, but in the end chose to stay close to home. "Coach (Dan) Brooks and the staff have treated me like family and they are having a great season as well," Watkins said. "I believe that I can learn how to become a man and I am not to far from my family by going to Clemson." After destroying St. Jude's Home School 63- 21 with Tyreece Gossett grounding out most of the yardage, Chase (7-2, 2-2) travels to Freedom for Friday's contest. Things haven't been so easy for East Ruther- ford as they lost 56-28 at home to Freedom. They pay the resurging Lions of Shelby a visit this Fri- day. As for R-S Central, they watched Shelby make their turnovers into points in a 37-6 loss. The Hill- toppers will host Burns on Friday. And Thomas Jefferson was handed a 48-27 loss at the hands of Polk County on the gridiron, last Friday. Thomas Jefferson welcomes Hender- sonville to Avondale on Friday night. Volleyball playoffs start this Saturday as East Rutherford, R-S Central and Chase should get in- vites. Locally, I don't know if anybody understands how much heart and soul Jimmy Means puts into keeping his NASCAR Nationwide team. If not for Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s heroics at the season open- ing race in Daytona (in which he lended Means a car after a practice crash destroyed his primary car). Means Motorsports might be facing tougher times. Means has just a couple of cars in his stable, one full time employee and does the best what he has earned in the business. Some days, he may be in the garage eight hours and other times 16- plus hours a day. They are picking up more sponsors such as Creative Recycling this year as a full time team and have been able to run the full schedule because of a key rule change that applies this season. They were only able to make 10 starts in 2010. In the racing world, tragedy does occur at times. Indy Car lost one of the sport's most popu- lar drivers in Dan Wheldon this past Sunday. For those who didn't see, Wheldon crashed after a spin in front of him took place early in the Indy Car fi nale at Las Vegas, causing a 15-car pile up. Wheldon and his Penske Racing machine, going in excess of 200mph when it ran over another car as he couldn't slow in time, fl ipped and hit cockpit fi rst into the catch fence/wall and then caught on fi re. I have said it for years, Indy Car is near the top of the most dangerous forms of motorsports, period. For one, they need to slow the cars down, narrow the fi eld to 25 (which they usually do ex- cept at Indy 500 and specialty races) and possibly design a roll cage of some sort overhead. Listen, the track is not to blame though, the catch fence and wall did it's job They both kept the vehicle in the corridors of the race track. In the aftermath of the event, Indy Car is very lucky they didn't lose more than one life in a crash like that one. Many felt that the race was well over the ex- treme of a dangerous one as Wheldon was com- peting for a fi ve million dollar prize in the specialty event, should he have won this past Sunday. Noth- ing can be gained from the incident and it certainly wasn't worth the cost. BUSINESS SER- VICES BUSINESS SERVICES MAC'S LAWN CARE, & LEAF REMOVAL. Free quotes with reasonable rates.
