When U.S. 301 met Bradford County
The longest journey
begins with the 1st step
Editor’s note: This is the third
part of an eight-part series.
BY JAMES WILLIAMS
Special to the Telegraph-TimesMonitor
According to Walter Liddell, a
consultant with Florida’s Department of Transportation, the Florida Road Department renumbered
its roads using a grid system in
1941. However, it was wartime,
and materials were in short supply. Although the roads had been
renumbered, new signs couldn’t
be put up until 1945 and 1946.
When they went up, roads running diagonally across the state
were given “X00 numbers.” Florida State Road 28 became State
Road 100 and ran from Lake City
through Starke and on to Bunnell.
Florida Road 200 would now run
from U.S. 1 at Yulee to Callahan,
and to Baldwin, Starke and south
to Ocala. It ran, in other words,
along Road 13 through Bradford
County.
However, S.R. 200 would not
go to Gainesville as it had in its
former life as Road 13. Instead,
200 cut away in Waldo and headed straight south to Ocala and ultimately to Hernando. Stare Road
24 would now take you on your
way to Gainesville and Cedar Key.
In 1947—just a few years after
the change in road numbers—the
U.S. government’s Department
of Commerce announced that it
wanted selected Florida roads for
its Federal Highway System in a
post-war era of concerns about
homeland defense. Building the
new systems was also a boost to
the economy and would put demobilized GIs back to work. The feds
would rename the national highway “U.S. 301,” and it would run
from Baltimore to Tampa.
The Aug. 26, 1949, Bradford
County Telegraph ran a somewhat
blasé item under the headline:
“301 Boosters Want Route Extended to St. Petersburg.”
The article read: “The Tobacco
Trail Association favors a move
to extend U.S. Highway 301 from
Tampa, where it now terminates,
to St. Petersburg. The association
is made up of representatives from
cities along 301 and has as its purpose the publicizing and promoting of the popular route, which
follows S.R. 200 through Starke
and is bringing increased tourist
traffic through here.”
By November, the Telegraph
was more intrigued. “Road 200,
Hampton to Maxville, Will be Resurfaced,” ran a headline. A new
program would resurface 22.92
miles of S.R. 200 (U.S. 301) from
Maxville to the Hampton cutoff.
Construction bids were to be let
at a meeting in Miami on Nov. 12.
Contractors would be asked to bid
on $6.5 million worth of work on
300 miles of road and 2,500 feet
of bridges in 31 counties. It was
to be the biggest batch of highway
and bridge construction and repair
bids in the history of the State
Road Department.
“The three projects to be included for Bradford County are as follows,” the Telegraph said, “Road
no. 200… between north intersection of Hampton cutoff and Road
No. 228 at Maxville. Work to consist of resurfacing sections with a
bituminous mineral seal coat and
bituminous retread surface.”
County offices and the Telegraph were excited enough to send
people all the way to Miami to attend the November meeting. By
its Dec. 1 edition, the Telegraph
was almost giddy. “Starke Occupies Strategic Position at Crossroads of North Florida….Traffic through here will be further
increased with early completion
of fast new route to Miami Thru
Middle Florida,” the headline and
sub-headline read.
Northern travelers were growing disenchanted with S.R. 1 and
even U.S. 1 down the coast; it was
getting too crowded. First, and
not the least of a motorist’s problems, was negotiating Jacksonville. By 1949, S.R. 1 (now A1A)
wasn’t continuous and was running through many sizeable beach
towns. Besides, some tourists
wanted to go to the Gulf of Mexico, not the Atlantic Coast. Now
they would travel faster through
rural areas with less traffic in the
middle of the state—even if they
were headed to Miami.
The new federal highway
would run squarely through
Starke, which excited some Bradford County business owners,
while others were cautious.
During the most recent world
war, Starke had fairly extensive national press exposure as a
“boom town” when Camp Blanding went up almost overnight.
Some of that exposure had been
negative.
The flood of soldiers into the
rural town was not entirely positive either. While it was good for
patriotic spirit—and business—
the downtown area became a mot-

1947 edition of the Bradford
County Telegraph.
“When was the last time you enjoyed a nice, relaxing
shuffleboard match?” asked Brian Patton on his Facebook
page. Starke’s Whispering Pines Motel advertised its
location on both U.S. 301 and on S.R. 200 as highway

dates from 1947 to around 1953. From the Brian Patton,

farm produce tent dime stores and

venereal disease went so high that
Camp Blanding authorities threatened to put Starke off limits. The
sheriff began to ship local prostitutes to what the Bradford County
Telegraph called a “concentration
camp” in Ocala.
But World War II had ended,
and the big Camp Blanding circus
tent suddenly folded.
As the 1940s ended and the
1950s began, hundreds of thousands of GI veterans were going
to college, buying homes and cars
and getting jobs. Long-distance
leisure travel to Florida and elsewhere had once been reserved for
the Henry Flaglers of the world
and their ilk. Now it was suddenly
available to the middle and working classes.
Starke began billing itself as
“A Very Friendly Town,” but its
friendliness didn’t extend to everybody. The chamber of commerce
president was the only one in the
country who, in the national press,
told tourists to stay away.
Chamber of commerce or not,
the announcement’s impact on
Bradford County was immediate. The Telegraph’s Dec. 8 edition announced that a new motor
court was under way. The El Rancho Motel was to be built by Ray
Strong, a Canadian living in Miami, who was just passing through
Starke on his return from Jacksonville to Lake City. Strong had been
looking for the right spot to build a
motor court and liked the looks of
sleepy Starke. The motel site was
surveyed; the El Rancho was built
and opened to the public only two
months later.
Two months after that, two existing “tourist courts” in Starke
announced plans to upgrade and
expand.
The Jan. 6, 1950, Telegraph ran
a story of another new business
opening on Temple at 10th Street:
the most modern gas station in
Bradford County. Lacy Conway
would own the new station and
said he also intended to sell bus
tickets, as he had been doing all
along. The American Oil Company had loaned $100,000 to have
the station built, Conway said; and
it came with its own grease rack.
Not all of the promise of the new
highway would be so rosy, however. A December 1949 edition of
the Telegraph also carried a frontpage story about a Jacksonville
African-American who had been
convicted of manslaughter after
killing a Bradford County woman
in an auto accident. The star witness at the trial was a woman who
had seen the whole incident from
her front porch, along what was
now being called U.S. 301.
Beginning in 1952, Dinah Shore
prompted Americans from their
black-and-white television sets to
see the USA in their Chevrolets.
It was the dawn of the 1950s, and
all of America was about to hit the
roads.

Tigers off to 0-1 start in district after 30-12 loss to Bears
BY VINCENT ALEX BROWN
Times Editor
Dixie County capitalized on
two fumbles and defeated the
Union County High School
football team 30-12 in the
Tigers’ District 7-1A opener on
Oct. 4 in Cross City.
The Tigers (5-1) lost their
top spot in the state’s Class 1A
rankings, falling to fourth. Dixie
(5-0), which improved to 2-0 in
District 7, moved up from third
to second, with Blountstown
taking this week’s top spot.
“We’ve got a lot of young
guys that have now tasted what
fire’s like,” Union County head
football coach Ronny Pruitt
said. “We are asking an awful
lot from some guys that have
never been in the fire. Tonight,
they saw it. We can go back,
hopefully watch some film
and learn from it, but it’s more
important to understand what
penalties and putting the ball on
the ground can do to you.
“Bottom line is, they took
advantage of two fumbles and
put two scores on the board.”
The first one was when Union
County fumbled the ball at its
own 19-yard line at the 3:13 mark
in the first quarter. Four plays
later, Dixie County quarterback
Aaron Thomas tossed a corner
pass to Shaquille Mitchem for a
21-yard score. The Bears capped
that off with the first of three
straight two-point conversions.
The second fumble, which
the Bears returned for a score,
came about halfway through the
third quarter after a quarterback
keeper by Union County’s Caleb
Cox on the Tigers’ own 25-yard
line.
The Tigers’ defense had
their hands full dealing with
the Bears, though they made a
strong showing. Austin Dukes
had a big night as lead tackler
again with 16 tackles against
Dixie County versus 12 against
Hamilton County last week.
Alden McClellon was close
behind with 11 tackles against
Dixie County versus just six
against Hamilton County.
In contrast, the Bears’ defense
pushed the Tigers back when
they were at the 2-yard line near
the end of the first half, fighting
for a much-needed score that
wouldn’t come till the fourth
quarter.
This just wasn’t the Tigers’
year against the Bears, having
beaten them for several years
including last year’s 28-14
victory.
Even running back Daquin
Edwards was shut down, limited
to only seven carries for 10
yards (an average of 1.43 yards
per carry). He also had one 22yard pass.
That was way below last
week’s game and even a fraction
of his average so far this season.
Last week against Hamilton
County, Edwards had 26 carries
for 150 yards, averaging 5.77
yards a carry. He’s averaged 83.6
yards a game.
As a result, he was visibly upset
after the game, just shaking his
head. Earlier, during the game,
he walked down the sideline
calling on his teammates to step
up their game.
Offensively, Geordyn Green
led Union County, rushing for 40
yards and catching three passes
for 51 yards and one touchdown.
The bright spot of the game
for the Tigers came when they
rallied midway through the
fourth quarter with their first
score, thanks to a completion by
Cox to Green. And the Tigers
quickly added another one
during the Bears’ next set of
downs after Dairon Alexander
scooped up a fumbled punt
attempt and ran it in.
Union’s
Geordyn Green
looks to put
a move on
a couple of
Dixie County
defenders in
the Tigers’ 3012 District 7-1A
loss.
When the Dixie County got
the ball back, they couldn’t
convert, but neither could Union
County. Cox had four incomplete
passes, though the Bears were
called for pass interference on
the first one.
Cox was only 12-of-28 for 118
yards.
Against Hamilton County,
Cox was a perfect 5-of-5 for 99
yards.
Just when it looked like fans
had a game on their hands, the
scoring run was over as quickly
as it started, and the only thing
awaiting everyone but the Bears
was a long ride home.
“We learned a lot of lessons
tonight,” Pruitt said. “I do
want to say, that’s a good Dixie
County team…. They deserved
a victory tonight.”
After the game, Pruitt told a
young, devastated team, “If you
don’t do anything else out of this
loss, you’ve got to learn from it.
…
“Now, we’ve won with class,
for two years. We will lose with
class. I know you guys are doing
that. I’m not saying you’re not.
“But you’ve got to also
understand what it feels like
inside to lose and what it feels
like to walk off with your head
up if you left everything on this
field. And that’s all I asked you
to do tonight.…
“It’s hard to recover when
you’ve lost a game. You’ve got
to recover. This game is over. It
will go down in history. You’ll
never get it back. But are you
going to let this game dictate the

Tornadoes hang on for 14-12 district win
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Regional News/Sports Editor
A touchdown off of a fumble
recovery in the end zone
by Interlachen made things
interesting with approximately
two minutes left in the game,
but the Bradford High School
football team hung on for a 1412 District 5-4A win on Oct. 4 in
Interlachen.
The Tornadoes (2-3) built a
14-0 lead, thanks to wide receiver
Kenny Dinkins who had two
touchdowns and 205 receiving
yards the first half. Bradford’s
offense, though, did nothing to
help itself in the second half. The
Tornadoes barely gained 20 yards
and was plagued by fumbles on
the quarterback-center exchange,
one of which was recovered by
the Rams in the end zone for a
touchdown with 2:16 left in the
game.
Fortunately for Bradford, the
Rams’ pass attempt on the twopoint conversion that would’ve
tied the score was incomplete.
The Tornadoes improved to
2-0 in District 5, but head coach
Steve Reynolds was visibly
frustrated afterward.
“Obviously, we’ve got a lot of
improving to do,” Reynolds said.
“I’ve got to a better job as a head
coach getting us prepared and
ready to play football.”
It was the best effort by the
Bradford defense this season,
which finally held an opponent to
less than 300 yards. (Interlachen
finished with 257 yards.) The
Tornadoes, after giving up an
80-yard touchdown drive before
halftime, forced Interlachen to
go three-and-out on its first two
possessions of the second half,
while later forcing the Rams to
turn the ball over on downs on a
drive into the red zone.
Bradford also had two
interceptions in the first half.
“I guess when they needed to
make a play, they made one,”
Reynolds said.
It did not look like the
again looked as if he was on his
way to what would be a 57-yard
touchdown. Dinkins lost his
footing near the Interlachen 20
and would eventually be brought
down at the 15.
It turned out to be the last
reception for Dinkins, who
finished the game with four
catches for 205 yards.
Despite the explosive plays
by Dinkins, Bradford’s offense
never mounted any sustained
drives. The Tornadoes’ first
possession of the second half—a
six-play drive—would be their
longest, and it only netted 14
yards.

punter Huggins, would get off a

Editorial/Opinion
Bradford County Telegraph • Union County Times • Lake Region Monitor
Looking at Bradford agriculture
Bradford County was once known for growing
strawberries—more especially, a high quality,
sweet strawberry, unlike the strawberries being
sold in grocery stores today that are larger and
prettier than the strawberries of old, but without
taste.
Strawberries are still being grown in Florida, but
the industry moved to Plant City for two reasons.
Weather conditions are more favorable farther
south, with bloom-killing frosts non-existent, or
springtime occurring earlier, providing a wider
window of productions and sales. South Florida
also has access to migrant workers, brought in
from the islands to work in sugar cane and citrus
industries.
Bradford County growers could not compete
in the rough and tumble world of competition in
attracting workers.
Prior to strawberries becoming a money crop
for farmers in Bradford County, farm families
depended on cotton for dependable cash income,
although Bradford County never saw the vast
fields of cotton found in Columbia County, with
its large acreage cleared by slave labor prior to the
War Between the States. (Historians and Yankees
call it the Civil War.)
The boll weevil came up from South America
in the late 1800s and moved into Florida in 192021, destroying the industry across the Southland.
In the 1930s, after having lost the growing of
cotton for a cash crop, farmers turned to tobacco
and planted bright-leaf cigarette tobacco, with
most small-farm operators growing 5 acres.
Throughout the early years, tobacco growing was
a family affair and labor intensive. Five acres
was all a family could grow and gather. Then,
too, a curing barn, required in the growing and
curing process, could accommodate 5 acres, and
additional acreage required additional curing
space. Once the tobacco was processed, it then
had to be graded, leaf by leaf, and packed for the
market.
Many of us remember the drive in recent
years to get people to quit the use of tobacco
because of health reasons, and the drive was quite
successful. In fact, it all but destroyed the tobacco
industry, and today the growing of tobacco in
Bradford County lives only in memory. Where
next will area farm owners find a cash crop with a
guaranteed market?
Before World War II, farm tractors were few in
this area, with the bulk of farming—even those
operations with large acreage—done with mules.
Manufacturers saw agriculture as a massive
market after the war and geared up for production
of tractors and related equipment, striking a gold
mine. Even small, one-horse farmers had to have
a small tractor for turning land and cultivating
crops, enabling them to increase the amount of
land in cultivation and also the production per
acre.
A few years following World War II, land
owners thought they had found the key to riches
with the raising of broilers and lying hens, and
built long, screened houses that are now rusting
away. Chicken and eggs make up the mainstay of
the American diet, but neither the chickens nor
eggs are produced in this area. The rusting metal
roofs of long buildings are a testament to a failed
industry.
Former Gov. Fuller Warren stifled a livestock
industry in Florida by outlawing animals on the
highways. While the legislation saved lives and
vehicles (and cows), it destroyed the income of
some local men that ran hundreds of cattle (and
hogs) on open-range land without owning any
land of their own. Cattle owners also burned the
land each year to allow grass to spring up early
in the season, to feed cattle during cold weather.
In consequence, there was no deer or turkey in
Bradford-Union Counties because of the lack of
habitat.
A few weeks ago, I had occasion too drive
through Brooker and Union and Columbia
counties. The Brooker fields, once teeming with
truck crops, tobacco, corn and peanuts, are bare
and empty except for grass. There is no livestock
grazing and the farming scene is depressing.
Brooker farms were once a showcase for
independent farming operations. Having known
Brooker in its heyday, the fields lying fallow are
a painful reminder of the days when everyone in
town was involved in agricultural pursuits, and
everyone had spending money.
The fields in Union and Columbia were lush
with green corn and vegetables, looking like farm
areas should look at that time of year.
It’s difficult to understand the situation in and
around Brooker, more especially since some
of the best land in the county is in the Brooker
area, where fields of potatoes and beans grew in
abundance. In truth, there is little productive land
in Bradford County. The redeeming feature of the
sandy soil is that it grows pine trees, and it is there
that agriculture is most promising.
The cutting of pulpwood began in this area in
1933, when American Tung Oil began clearing
ground for the tung oil trees in Bradford County
near Brooker, and China Tung Oil began clearing
land in Alachua County, across Santa Fe River
from Brooker. In the early days, workers cut trees
with a 6-foot, cross-cut saw—a back-breaker
powered by two men. Trees (yellow pines only)
were cut, then sawed into 4-foot lengths and
stacked in pens. The blocks, some 30 inches at
the butt, were loaded on single-axle trucks and
hauled to the rail head—back-breaking labor at
every step in the process.
Today, timber is cut with a chain saw, but
before this improved saw came on the market,
producers experimented with other labor-saving
devices, among which was a 36-inch to 48-inch
circular saw mounted on two wheels and powered
with a 20-horsepower, gasoline engine. The saw
could be turned 90 degrees for cutting standing
timber, then returned to vertical for cutting the
tree into blocks. The chain saw made other types
of saws obsolete, and pulpwood blocks were
picked up and loaded on trucks, where they were
cut, eliminating the penning process. It continues
to be back-breaking work, but not to the extent it
once was.
In the early years, pulpwood producers were
capable of producing more pulpwood than the
mills could process, and were shut down from
time to time until the mills could use the wood
on hand. It may have been that the mills produced
more paper than the market could absorb, but in
the 1960s, that situation changed with the advent
of computers, which consume mountains of paper.
Whatever the reason, the demands for wood
pulp for the manufacture of paper is insatiable and
never ending, and the need for wood pulp looks
promising for growing and processing pines.

Water district’s
PR ‘clouds’
accurate
assessment
Dear Editor:
Regarding the recent quote
from the St. Johns Water
Management District that “the
adopted MFLs in the Keystone
Heights area are not achievable,
even if there were no groundwater
withdrawals,” is a self-serving
public
relations
statement
at best. It clouds accurate
scientific
assessment
and
avoids responsibility for known
cumulative adverse effects of
JEA and other withdrawals,
presuming a condition for
comparison that will never exist.
Every resident of our area is
well aware of the long history
of the failure of the district to
expeditiously adopt prevention
or recovery on our lakes, or
to implement other readily
available and effective protective
measures. Our lakes, aquifer and
economy continue to suffer
from a continuing bias that has
allowed and accelerated the
accumulative adverse effects of
water withdrawals which the
“pumps-off” model attempts
to minimize; this in support of
the district plan to significantly
lower levels on lakes in recovery
and suffering from lack of water
to make more withdrawals
possible. The district is, in effect,
creating a “paper” water
supply, in part because it
ignored a worsening situation
over more than 20 years, now
finding itself, as the water
utility consortium gleefully
chastised, in the precarious
position of not being able to
“maintain current MFLs (lake
levels).”

Parent, staff
relationshp
important in
child care
Dear Editor:
Parents have placed great
confidence in Tigers Den by
enrolling their child in our
program. We believe very
strongly in staff and parent
relationship. We are honored to
help care for and educate your
most prized possession.
Parents have every right to
question us, demand answers and
be involved with everything that
goes on with their child’s daily
routine.
When there is a good
relationship between the staff
and the parents, partnerships
form that are in the best interest
of the child. The parents who ask
questions want to join us in the
growth and development of their
child. A parent who demands
from us is being an advocate for
their child. This requires our staff
to be patient, use their education
and be open-minded. The child,
teacher and parent need to work
together as a team so that the
child can reach milestones and
be successful.
No other field has the
responsibility of caring for
and educating a young life like
we have in early childhood
education. Therefore, we owe
parents the respect they deserve
for the trust they have displayed
in choosing us to care for and
help shape their child’s life.

Tillie’s story
Dear Editor:
I first met Tillie in the middle
of 2011. She was hanging out at
a home near the public library
and had given birth to some
kittens. She, unfortunately, was
not being a good mother, and
she wouldn’t feed them. So the
residents called me. I went by to
check it out and saw three tiny
kittens that were hungry and
Tillie. I took the kittens to my
place. I was able to take Tillie to
a foster home.
While I bottle fed the kittens
and struggled to keep them
alive, the foster home didn’t have
a good report about Tillie. It
seemed she didn’t like to be
around other cats and was not
a real friendly cat either. She
also had another problem. She
wasn’t a pretty cat. Part of her
face was orange tabby, and the
other half black. The rest of her
body was a mismatch of color as
well. Given her temperament and
her appearance, we despaired of
ever finding Tillie a home. But in early 2012, a young
woman answered a newspaper ad
we had placed about Tillie. When
the woman arrived to visit with
Tillie, I made the comment that
Tillie might not come up to her
at all. So imagine my surprise
when Tillie came right up to this
woman and let her pet her. The
woman seemed to like Tillie, and
Tillie seemed to like her. The
woman said Tillie picked her.
After a short time, we delivered
Tillie to this woman’s home in
Gainesville, and, as in all of our
adoptions, we kept in contact to
make sure that everything was
going OK. We were pleased with
the comments we received from
the woman and felt like Tillie
had gone to a loving home.
In June of this year, I received
a call from this woman that she
had fallen and broken her leg
and had to move in with a friend
until she could recover. She had
remembered that I had told her
that if she ever needed help with
Tillie to call me. She couldn’t
keep Tillie with her right now, but
wanted to put her with someone
she trusted until she could. She
called Tillie her companion. So I
drove to Gainesville and picked
Tillie up and placed her in our
sanctuary.
As this woman struggles to
heal, return to work and find
stable housing, I have been able
to assure her that Tillie is doing
well and is safe. I can hear when
I talk to her that she truly misses
Tillie.
Supporters
of
Sheltered
Animals is helping her, as much
as possible, get back on her
feet to be ready for Tillie to go
back home to the person who
loves her. I wish all animals had
someone who loved them.

Eustis High School’s defense
scored nine points and gave its
offense the ball on the Keystone
9-yard line, resulting in seven
more points in the Panthers’ 1612 win over Keystone Heights
during the Indians’ homecoming
on Oct. 4.
After the two teams swapped
possessions
following
the
opening kickoff, Eustis’ Grant
Reynolds pinned the Indians on
their own 9 with a 47-yard punt.
The Indian offense lost the ball
on a fumble during its first play
of the series, giving the Panthers
the ball on the Keystone 9.
Three plays later, the visitors ran
in from the 3-yard line, giving
Eustis (2-4) a 7-0 lead with 5:35
left in the first quarter.
The Indians (2-3) bounced
back with a drive of their own,
covering 72 yards in 9 plays,
but two consecutive incomplete
passes stalled the drive on the
Eustis 9 and forced Keystone to
settle for a 24-yard J.J. Schofield
field goal, bringing the score
to 7-3 with 2:54 left in the first
quarter.
In the second quarter,
Schofield struck again from
31 yards, bringing the Indians
within one point of the lead.
Following Schofield’s score,
the Indian defense held Eustis to
a three-and-out.
After a shanked Eustis punt,
Keystone took over on the
Panther 37.
On third-and-9 from the 36,
Blake Valenzuela scrambled to
avoid a sack and saw a receiver
downfield, but as his arm began
its forward passing motion, a
Eustis lineman hit the Keystone
quarterback, popping the ball
into the air, where another

Bradford defense forcing the
Rams to go three-and-out for the
second straight time.
Interlachen drove into scoring
position in the fourth quarter,
showing an ability to overcome
long-yardage situations. Oliver
completed a 22-yard pass on
a first-and-15 play and a 10yard pass on a second-and-12
play, setting up a manageable
third-and-2, which the Rams
converted. On a fourth-and-14
play from the Bradford 44,
Oliver completed a 29-yard pass

Panther defender ran by, grabbed
the ball and sprinted to the end
zone. Reynolds added the extra
point for a 14-6 Eustis lead with
6:31 left in the second quarter.
On Keystone’s next possession,
Michael Carroll ran for 36 yards
on two rushes before Anton
Noble broke a 43-yard run for a
touchdown. Keystone failed on
a two-point conversion attempt
to leave the score at 14-12 with
4:57 left in the second quarter.
Eustis drove 73 yards to start
the second half, but the Indian
defense stiffened in its own
red zone, forcing the Panthers
into a fourth-and-1 from the
7-yard line. The fourth-down
pass attempt fell short, giving
Keystone the ball.
Two plays later, Valenzuela
hit Darein Gilio for a pass
completion, but an official
flagged an Indian player for
holding. Since Valenzuela was in
his own end zone at the time of
the infraction, the referee ruled a
safety, giving Eustis its final two
points of the game, resulting in
the final score of 16-12.
Keystone ended the game
with 242 yards rushing and 61
yards passing for 303 total yards.
Noble ran for 198 yards and
one touchdown on 24 carries.
Carroll rushed for 44 yards on
five runs. Valenzuela completed
5-of-15 passes for 61 yards.
Eustis rushed for 67 yards
and passed for 124, totaling 191
yards of offense.
Lane Blanton led the Indian
defense with 10 tackles and 12
assists, including one tackle for
a loss. Gilio had nine tackles and
six assists, including one tackle
for a loss. Gilio also caused a
fumble. Carroll had four tackles
and one assist, with one tackle
for a loss and one caused fumble.
Grant McGee had one tackle and
four assists. He also recovered a
fumble. Sam Anderson had four
tackles and seven assists. Austin
Hogg had an interception.
After the game, Keystone
head coach Chuck Dickinson
said his players must concentrate
on details.
“We gave up nine points
tonight offensively,” he said. “I
told the kids it’s the little things
that wins the games. We’ve
got to do a better job Monday
through Thursday preparing and
focusing on those little things.”
The kids played hard,” he
continued. “The kids are giving
the effort. We have just got to
eliminate those little mistakes.
We keep shooting ourselves in
the foot.”
Keystone has a bye this week
before returning to action Friday,
Oct. 18, in a District 5-4A game
at the Villages at 7:30 p.m.
volleyball team 3-0 (25-12, 2520, 25-17) on Oct. 3.
The loss evened the Indians’
District 5-4A record at 3-3.
Keerston Skinner and Morgan
Gibbs had seven and six kills,
respectively, with Skinner also
adding five service aces. Alexa
Born had 16 assists, while
Caiylen Gonzales had eight digs.
Keystone (6-4 prior to Oct. 8)
played Baker County prior to the
Santa Fe match, defeating the
Wildcats 3-0 (25-16, 25-19, 2517) on Oct. 1 in Glen St. Mary.
Skinner had nine kills and four
aces, while Hanna Crane had 24
assists and three aces. Gonzales
had eight digs, while Shelby
Skelly had two blocks.
Pruitt calls them—on Friday,
Oct. 18, at 7:30 p.m. It will be the
second of four straight District
7 games, which will decide the
Tigers’ playoff hopes.
The Newberry game will also
be Murray Ford Night and Hall
of Fame Night—activities that
were originally scheduled for
Sept. 13.
In last week’s game story,
it was reported that Hamilton
County was the first team this
season to prevent Union County
from scoring in the first quarter
and the first team to score first
against the Tigers. However,
West Nassau actually shut out
the Tigers for the first three
quarters on Sept. 6, though the
Tigers rallied by back in the
fourth to win 13-10.
Correction
to Nelson.
With a first down at the
Bradford 15, the Rams picked
up 7 yards on two runs by
Strickland. Oliver, though, threw
two straight incompletions as
the Rams turned the ball over on
downs.
Bradford running back Jarvis
DeSue appeared to have taken
the Tornadoes out of the shadow
of their end zone with an 11yard run to the 19, but a holding
penalty backed the Tornadoes up
to 5. A fumble on the following
play rolled into the end zone,
with Interlachen’s Nicholas
Zagami pouncing on it for a
touchdown.
See KHHS, 12B
With the failed two-point play,
the Tornadoes were able to run
the clock out on a victory that
kept them as one of two District
5 teams without a district loss.
(Keystone Heights is the other.)
Luke finished the game 4-of-9
for 205 yards, two touchdowns
and one interception.
Running backs Thomas and
DeSue gained 39 and 34 yards,
respectively, as Bradford gained
76 yards outside of Luke’s
completions to Dinkins.
The Tornadoes host Class 5A
Wakulla on Friday, Oct. 11, at
7:30 p.m. The War Eagles (5-1)
are coming off of a 53-12 loss to
Godby.

Hurricanes
have eyes
on another
SMAC title
game berth
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Could this be the year the
Suwannee
Middle
School
Athletic Conference football
championship trophy gets held
aloft by a group of Hurricanes?
Bradford Middle School
is looking to advance to the
SMAC championship game for
the second straight year, and
the Hurricanes were looking
pretty good going into this
past Tuesday’s game against
Lake Butler. Bradford took a
4-1 record into that game, with
one of those four wins coming
against Williston, a team that
won two lopsided contests
against the Hurricanes last year.
If the Hurricanes defeated
Lake Butler this past Tuesday
and go on to defeat P.K. Yonge
on the road on Tuesday, Oct. 15,
they would then host the SMAC
championship game on Tuesday,
Oct. 22, at 6 p.m.
The Bradford offense is
powered by a strong running
game. Charles Strong is the
leading rusher, with head coach
William Brewington guessing
Strong probably had 900 yards
or more on the season prior to
playing Lake Butler.
Brewington said as good as
Strong is, a lot of his credit goes
to an offensive line composed of
Jacob Alvarez, Jacob Hake, T.J.
Loudermilk, Jordan Luke and
Jacquez Mosley.

also features key player

Dakota Mathews

White player for
a first down in
the Hurricanes’
40-0 win on
Sept. 17. Photo

Patricia Cook.
Dakota Mathews—the team’s
quarterback—averages between
250 and 300 yards a game,
Brewington said. Yet it may be
the defense that is the team’s
strength.
Brewington
said
that unit is probably holding
opponents to an average of 150
yards per game.
The Bradford defense has
given up just four touchdowns
in five games and entered the
Lake Butler game off of a 41-0
win over Keystone Heights—
the Hurricanes’ second shutout
of the year.
Brewington said the defense is
led by such players as lineman
Gerald
Smith,
linebackers
Aundre Carter and Joe Gorden,
and safety Caleb Patray.
However, it sometimes seems
the entire team is on a play.
Brewington said the Hurricanes
fly to the ball, and after one
player makes an initial hit, three
or four more soon follow.
In fact, when asked who
recovered a fumble in the win
over Keystone, Brewington
admitted he wasn’t sure, saying
the entire defense was there.
It was Ashton Jackson, by
the way, who had the fumble
recovery, which led to a 60-yard
touchdown by Tally Chandler on
a screen pass from Mathews.
Chandler finished with two
touchdown receptions against
Keystone, while Strong had three
touchdown runs. One of Strong’s
scoring runs covered more than
30 yards, while Cummings had
a 50-plus touchdown run.
Bradford opened the season
with a 22-6 loss to Baker County,
though Brewington said it was a
game the Hurricanes could’ve
easily won. The Hurricanes,
who actually led 6-0 at the half,
committed seven turnovers, one
of which Baker turned into a
touchdown.
“In my mind, there’s no doubt
we should be 5-0 right now,”
Brewington said prior to the Oct.
8 Lake Butler game.
The Hurricanes bounced back
in a big way, defeating Chiefland
47-6. They followed that with a
40-0 win over Fort White.
Then came Williston, which
defeated Bradford in last year’s
SMAC championship game. The
Hurricanes hosted Williston on
Sept. 24, and the two teams were
tied 8-8 at the half. Williston had
a chance toward the end of the
game after Bradford turned the
ball over on downs with more
than a minute to play. Bradford’s
defense stepped up, though,
tackling a runner for a 10-yard
loss on first down. After an
incompletion on second down,
the Hurricanes gave up a yard on
a third-down running play.
That left Williston facing a
desperate situation on fourth
down. Bradford’s Chandler
sealed the 16-14 win for the
Hurricanes when he pulled
down an interception in a jumpball situation.
It was a good feeling for the
Bradford head coach, who grew
up in Williston.
“It was a great feeling
and a well-celebrated win,”
Brewington said.
This year’s Bradford team
is composed of the following
players:
Alvarez,
Carter,
Chandler, Cummings, Gorden,
Hake, Jackson, Loudermilk,
Luke, Mathews, Mosley, Patray,
Smith, Strong, Noah Abourezk,
Dalton Baker, Trace Barber,
Holden Bell, Dakota Betterson,
Cody Bowen, Charles Brown,
Taurus Coleman, Gabe Cook,
Paul Davis, Tylan Davis,
Murphy Dyess, Ryan Fishburn,
Joshua Griffis, Brandon King,
Walker Knight, Cayden Martin,
Kyle Plasters, Brandon Ruis,
Peyton Welch, Dallin Wood,
Micah Wright and Tavi’en
Young.
Assistant coaches are Joe
Gorden,
Rodney
Mosley,
Charles Strong and Paul Tubley.
Sponsors for this year’s
Hurricanes are Murray Ford

The University of Florida’s
Institute of Food and Agricultural
Sciences tells us that we can
look for the following during the
month of October:
• Northeast Florida: Look for
migrating Peregrine falcons in
natural areas, especially along
the coast as they follow the
shorebirds;
•Warbler migration peaks
early this month;
•Monarch
butterfly
migration nears its peak along
Florida’s Gulf coast;
•Sandhill cranes that nested
in more northern latitudes move
down to join our resident birds;
•Flying squirrels will be
moving into pecan groves as the
nuts ripen.
Do not miss out on this
wonderful fall weather and
your favorite outdoor activities
because fish and wildlife
recognize the beauty of it as
well. The cooler weather has
stimulated the bass bite, panfish
are still being caught and some
people are catching specks to our
south. Additionally, the inshore
saltwater bite is also producing
good results.
Colten and Zach Griffis
launched their boat at the Vilano
Beach Ramp in St. Augustine
last week and walked away
with five keeper trout and two
reds. The most exciting part of
the catch was the fact they used
top-water lures as their bait of
choice. Apparently, the action

Tate Williams, taking after
his dad, Justin Williams, and
his granddad, Lamar Williams,
is making his own mark as a
hunter. As a matter of fact, he
was able to bring down the buck
in the attached photo with his
bow.
Jason McClellan is proving
that he is as good of a hunter as a
fisherman. With his bow-hunting
outfit, he brought down the nice
buck in the attached photo.
Like true hunters and
fishermen, neither Williams nor
McClellan were very detailed
with their hunting locations.
Jim Faltz: honing a burr
The lull between summer
fishing and hunting season is
a great time to round up all
your knives and renew their
edges to the point that they
will shave hair and cut paper.

are supplemented with the
appropriate chromium polish to
prevent heat and produce a scary
sharp edge.
He does, however, know how
to do the same job by hand and
enjoys providing directions for
those who are interested. The
first job on a new knife is to
start with a coarse whetstone
or diamond block to set or
reinforce the current 22-degree,
single-sided beveled edge on
the knife. Holding the knife at a
steady and consistent 22 degrees
to the flat sharpening block
makes the 22-degree beveled
edge. When that same edge is
made on both sides of the knife,
the total beveled edge of the
knife will be 44 degrees.
Faltz says that it is very
important
in
the
initial
sharpening process to form a
burr on the sharp edge of the
knife blade. As the knife is
stroked across the coarse stone
at a 22-degree angle, metal is
microscopically scraped from
the blade, and this forms a
rough, wiry edge on the blade tip
that can be felt on one side or the
other. This burr that is formed
from the sharpening strokes will
actually fold slightly to the side
opposite the sharpened side. The
burr can actually be felt by softly
rubbing a finger flat against
the blade with the fingertip
encroaching, but not against, the
cutting edge.
Make sure that the fingertip
moves outward from the cutting
edge as it runs along the side of
the blade to prevent a cut. If no
slightly rough edge is detected,
move to the opposite side of
the blade and repeat the action.
When the burr is detected, you
should use a lighter sharpening
stroke, alternate blade sides and
use a sharpening block or stone
that is of increasingly finer
material. Ceramic sticks are
finer than most stones.
Lastly, you should finish the
process with a leather strop.
The burr will become less
noticeable until it is totally
honed and polished away,

following these directions could
easily result in the burr being
popped off, returning the blade
to a dull edge.
