East Marion opened the first round of Class 2A playoffs taming the War Dogs of Hinds AHS, bringing home a 57-40 victory. Congratulations. This earns the Eagles the right to host the No. 1 2A team in the state, Taylorsville. “We have to bring our ‘A’ game,” said East Marion head coach Randy Roberts. “We will have to play our best ball game.” The Tartars are 11-0, and they come off a 31- 13 opening round win over Newton. They are averaging more than 33 points per game as they COLUMBIA GET FIRST ROUND PLAYOFF WIN present an aerial attack. Bassfield, in the second game of the year, held Taylorsville to their lowest offensive output at 15 points. “They have three receivers taller than anybody we got and a quarterback taller than anybody we got,” Roberts said. “They are awesome.” Offense was the name of the game Friday night, as Hinds and East Marion combined for almost 100 points. “The offense came alive, the running backs ran hard,” Roberts said. “Xavier Grindle put the team on his shoulder and carried us through.” Grindle, a freshman, carried the ball 35 times for 331 yards with four touchdowns and one two-point conversion. That was only half of the offense, as the Eagles piled up 600 yards. Grindle, Gabriel Thomas, Jarvis Franklin, Jamal Allen and Shaun Oliver combined to rack up 426 rushing yards. Oliver hit 1 of14 passes for 173 yards, while Leonard Johnson threw one pass for 16 yards, a touchdown to Ayrion Taylor. “Oliver shown a lot of poise in the pocket and was our coach on the field,” Roberts said. “But we have to give a lot of credit to our unsung heroes, the offensive linemen.” Across the front are senior tackle T .J. Echoles and little brother, junior Adrine Echols, junior guards Akell Handshaw and Jamie Barnes and junior center Martinez Gutter. “I know at the beginning of the year, we Sidney Riley, 18, plowed through the Crystal Springs defense for 170 yards. photos by Don Hill weren’t a very good ball team,” Roberts said. “But they got better each week and it is starting to show.

RHONDA BRASSEAL Sweet Potato Pie For those with a taste for life and leisure My daughter and I both love MEDIA GENERAL SYNDICATION SERVICES being out-of-doors. Throughout the year, we comb the woods on our farm, looking for unusual flowers and leaves to press and hang dry.Then on the days that it's nasty outside, we collage our treasures onto mats and frame them. My favorite type of decoration. This time of year, when the trees begin to become bare and you can see them better, my daughter and I pull vines from the tall hard woods. On the sunlit back deck of our home, visited by gentle breezes, we work. Wrapping and twisting the vines, we form wreaths of all sizes. Next we gather pine cones and use them along with our dried items and oddments to decorate the wreaths. We will give them as gifts and hang them on our doors and in our windows. They're different each year - a reflection of God's gifts in nature through the preceding seasons. The best part about making wreaths, though, is what we talk about while we work: deer tracks we saw along the creek, how sixth grade is going, what to do when girls are mean and boys "act flirty." Where she'll live when she grows up and how many horses she'll own. Things beyond the prioritized days of the work week. By this time of year, we normally have a pumpkin and some sweet potatoes to get from our garden as well. The only kind of pumpkins we raised this year, though, were the eensy, decorative ones - and no sweet potatoes. So we bought some of each from a local farmer this past weekend. Here are our most-requested pumpkin and sweet potato recipes. They're right up there with hand-made wreaths and soft, cool afternoons spent outside of time. Spicy Pumpkin Dip 1 pie pumpkin 2 8-oz. packages cream cheese 2 cups powdered sugar 2 - 3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spices Cut top from pumpkin and scrape out seeds and stringy insides. Wrap pumpkin completely in aluminum foil. Bake at 325° for 1 hour. In the meantime, bring cream cheese to room temperature and beat it MGNS photo by Lindy Keast Rodman until smooth.
