To The World, You May Be One Person But To Us,With You Love,Are The World! Your Entire Hudson Family OPINION 4A www.lakecityreporter.com Tuesday, February 25, 2020

OUR OPINION Lifesaver e don’t know the name of the woman who dialed 911 when she saw an Wunattended baby in a car at Lake City Plaza on Monday, but consider her a hero. Had she not done what she did, our front page might have looked tragically different this day. Some of us might not have noticed the tiny infant, and some of us who did, might not have been sure what to do. It was a balmy day, with a high of only 75, so how dangerous could it be for a baby left inside a locked car? Plenty. Even at that temperature, it takes only 20 minutes or so for the average car to heat up to 100 degrees or more inside. Different ways of saying the same thing That’s a recipe for tragedy. Should you find yourself in the spot our hero did today, take out your phone and call for help. Wanna run that by me again?

Columbia in the district championship, using a press defense to force a bevy of turnovers in the second half. It even allowed the Trojans to take a one-point lead early in the fourth quarter before the Tigers answered with a 7-0 run to turn the tides for good. But it didn’t come without some drama. Point guard Darrien Jones had eight turnovers, with two coming with less than two minutes to play and his team only up by three. Lincoln, however, could never grab the lead due to poor foul shooting, going 10 of 17 at the line in the fourth. Breaking the press has been a focus in practice over the past week and a half for Columbia, with Faulkner spending some- times north of an hour on it to get his team ready for the rematch. “Coach has got us prepared for it,” Columbia shooting guard Jordan Smith said. “We know how to break the trap, break the press. We’ve just got to stay calm under pressure and we should be good. But I feel like they’re going to press way more than they did.” In Smith’s mind, the Trojans can press as much as they want.
