16 YEARS AGO
MARCH 25, 2004
Fifteen students of Taylor’s
University of Tae Kwo Do in Evergreen traveled to Raymond, Miss. on Sat., May
13, to compete in the Mississippi Open Classic Karate Competition. The students
won 24 trophies and seven medals.
31 YEARS AGO
MARCH 30, 1989
J.D. Taylor of Evergreen got
this big one Monday morning. The Tom weighed 21 pounds and had a nine-inch
beard and one-inch spurs.
Stan Pate of Mobile bagged
his first wild turkey Friday, and it was a nice one, 18-1/4 pounds and 10-1/2
inch beard. Stan, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Pate of Castleberry, said
he killed the Tom on “The Ponderosa.”
From “The Colyum” by Bob
Bozeman: “March Madness,” the annual NCAA National Basketball Championship
Tournament climaxes this weekend.
I am not real big on
basketball, pro or college, but usually get involved during the NCAA
tournament. My spirits were dampened when Alabama got whistled out of the
tournament in the opening round.
I think Duke and Illinois
probably have the two best teams in the Final Four, but both Seton Hall and
Michigan are on a roll. If Michigan doesn’t wake up, and everything its players
throw up continues to fall through the nets, the Wolverines will take it all.
(As it turned out, Bob was
right. Michigan eventually went on to win the Big Dance in 1989.)
46 YEARS AGO
MARCH 28, 1974
Alvis Griffin killed this fine gobbler on the opening day
of the spring turkey season Wednesday of last week. The bird weighed 18-3/4
pounds and had 8-3/4 inch beard. Alvis said he killed Tom “in the woods.”
Olen Brooks, son of Ida
Woods, formerly of Evergreen was saluted by the Southern Star paper of Lansing,
Michigan. He participates in major sports which include basketball, football,
track and wrestling. He wants to go to Southern California to play football.
During the wrestling season,
Olsen won three of his matches. He wrestled at 155 pounds. His shortest pin
took him 26 seconds, and the longest, four minutes. Olen came in third in the
city meet.
All funds raised at the two
basketball games Thursday night, March 21, at Evergreen High School went to the
purchase price of the piano. Roscellous McCreary for the PTA reports that the
men’s and women’s games between the faculty members and the former students was
great fun for all.
