Festival of Lights festivities make downtown brighter for many

Zephyrhills kicked off the Christmas season with an all-day event that featured games, elephant rides, food and fun.

All of that was culminated with the Annual Festi-val of Lights Parade that brought nearly 3,000 people to 5th Avenue in the historic district.

ñ This is the biggest parade and the most people IÍ ve seen in years,î said Nora Davis, who has been coming to the Zephyrhills event for six straight years. ñ I remember when the parade was over pretty quick.

ñ This year was absolutely wonderful. ItÍ s a great way to bring everybody together for the holidays.î

The event was presented by Zephyrhills Main Street and sponsored by GoinÍ Postal, The Zephyrhills News, Pasco Times, City of Zephyrhills, Progress En-ergy, CF Industries, Walmart, CraddockÍ s Air Condi-tioning and Heat and San Antonio Citizens Federal Credit Union.

Main Street events are to give back to the commu-nity while attracting people to the businesses in the downtown shopping district.

Main Street accomplished both as people milled around 5th Avenue all day taking in shopping and family fun until the parade started at 6 p.m. When the parade concluded, the crowds didnÍ t thin out very much.

’Tis the season in Zephyrhills

Handpick your own Christmas tree at Ergle’s

Ergle Christmas Tree Farm makes for wonderful holiday memories

Bringing home a sweet-smelling tree is only the half of it at the Ergle Christmas Tree Farm. Train rides, barnyard animals, Christmas cactuses and strawber-ries also are part of the memorable experience.

Rick and Ann Denz, a couple from Saint Leo, re-cently made their annual visit to ErgleÍ s to purchase a Christmas tree. Their children are grown now, but the DenzÍ s fondly recollected family trips there with daughters Eliza, now 22, and 21-year-old Rebecca when both were little.

ñ We love it,î Ann said. ñ It supports local busi-ness and the trees are always fresh and beautiful.î

Annual Tree decorating and lighting is enjoyed by thousands at Florida Hospital Zephyrhills

Mayor Cliff McDuffie and several thousand others counted down from 10. When they collectively hit zero, the lights of 53 Christmas trees glowed and the skies over Florida Hospital Zephyrhills lit up with fireworks Sunday.

The joyous occasion was the 27th Annual Tree Decorating and Lighting at Florida Hospital. Trees representing all 50 states along with an international tree, a Canada tree and a tree honoring our troops were decorated by local groups and individuals.

ñ IÍ ve been honored to do this nine times and it just kicks off the season in Zephyrhills,” McDuffie said. “It is a very valuable part of Zephyrhills and I am proud to be a part of it.î

For some it is a labor of love.Charlie Grigelevich and her friends

took their love for their home state of Rhode Island and put it into the Rhode Is-land Christmas Tree.

ñ Most of us lived in Rhode Island and others were from nearby Connecticut and Massachusetts. Last year we saw many

On the other end of the spec-trum were newcomers Christopher and Ashley Sepulveda. Supporting local businesses, as well as a desire to get a real tree instead of the usual fake one they put up, lured the Wes-ley Chapel couple to the tree farm lo-cated at 3325 Treiman Blvd. in Ridge Manor, about eight miles north of Dade City off US 301.

Ò Trying to bring back childhood memories,Ó was another reason cited by Christopher.

Customers are encouraged to choose and cut their own Christmas trees with plenty of varieties Ñ cedar, sand pine, Leyland cypress and Car-olina sapphire Ñ to name a few. The interactive facet adheres to the farmÕ s philosophies of tradition, family and making memories.

For 20 years folks have visited the farm at Christmas time. Owners Tony and Debra Harris often pres-ent the GovernorÕ s Christmas tree as well as a tree for the Dade City His-torical Courthouse. The HarrisÕ are among the stateÕ s numerous growers that produce 200,000 live or freshly cut trees each season.

On a national level, 30 million trees are harvested annually and 85 million are planted in soils gener-ally considered unsuitable for other crops.

Two neighboring couples from Spring Hill are among Ergle’s regu-lar customers. They purchased their trees last week and would never consider getting an artifi cial tree for Christmas.

Ò ItÕ s no comparison,Ó said Ron Mann, who was with his wife Phyl-lis. “You can come out in the country-side, in the fresh air.Ó

Not to mention the freshness of the trees. Franco Herrera, who has been cutting trees at the Ergle farm for seven years, said most of the feed-back centers around the freshness of the trees.

For the MannsÕ friends, Sharon and Richard Zielesch, itÕ s all about walking through the six greenhous-es totaling 15,000 square feet to make their selection from among more than 3,000 trees.

“It’s just like walking in the for-est,” Sharon said. “And there’s no needles.Ó

A welcome sign encourages visi-tors to: feel free to breath deeply. Jus-tifi ably so since an acre of Christmas trees produces enough oxygen for 18 people and the Ergle property sits on 26 acres.

While media attention is gen-erally welcomed, Harris said it has backfi red at times. With a chuckle he recollected a visit from a Tampa Bay televisionÕ s helicopter that resulted in numerous trees blown over one year.

As for the other amenities, the train carries mostly youngsters around the property on weekends.

Ò The grownups want to go to, but we have gotten stuck,Ó Harris said.

Among the barnyard animals in the past have been goats, sheep and ducks. This season, however, there are just two goats, which keeps Har-ris from having to chase animals that get out of their pens for a change.

Prices generally range from $25-$40 for trees in the 5-8-foot range. One customer, however, recently paid $275 for a 17-foot tree. Operat-ing hours at ErgleÕ s are from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily through Dec. 23.

Ò WeÕ ll be open till Santy Claus comes,Ó Harris said.

trees decorated very state-specifi c and we decided to do one this year,” said Grigelevich, who was joined by her fellow New Englanders from Southport Springs. “We are transplants now.

“We are more Sunbirds than Snowbirds and this is a great way to spend the holidays.”

The spirit was contagious as groups piled on the garlands, handmade ornaments and tree toppers. The Dade City Ani-mal Hospital group took on the Alaska tree and it has an igloo around the trunk of their tree.

“This is our gift to the community,” said FHZ Marketing Director Brenda Welcher. “The trees look gorgeous. The com-munity does a great job to add that festive touch. They all do such a great job.”

In the middle of the circle of trees, Santa set up shop to meet hundreds of children from Zephyrhills and the sur-rounding area. Some teenagers and parents even took a turn on Santa’s lap to tell him what they want for Christmas.

Dozens of volunteers kept the event running smoothly with many manning the tent providing free hot chocolate and cookies for everyone in attendance.

“The primary reason as a faith-based hospital, we do this to in-vite the community out to share in our Christian faith and we have a huge lawn and we want to share the season with our community,” said CEO Doug Duffi eld. “I think they took us up on our invitation because I see 3,000 to 4,000 people out there.

“Christmas has a lot of different traditions and this hospital has been part of the tradition and fabric of this community for 30 years. It’s a privilege and responsibility to do this for this great com-munity.”

all these kids,Ó said VanScoyk, who comes down to Dade City with his wife Judy as win-ter residents from Ohio. Ò WeÕ re just out here having fun and enjoying the weather. I canÕ t stand the cold, thatÕ s why I am down here.Ó

Others had bigger reasons to sit on the curb and watch the parade.

Ò I come for Santa Claus. He brings us presents,Ó said 4-year-old Bryce Whidden of Dade City. Ò I love Santa Claus.Ó

Who doesnÕ t? The jolly man from the North Pole was on

the traditional fi nal fl oat of the night.For parents, there are bigger reasons to

come to the parade year-after-year.Ò ItÕ s our family time with our family and

kids,Ó said BryceÕ s mom, Melanie. Ò ItÕ s a fami-ly tradition for us. We love to see the Christmas fl oats and lights. We also get to show the kids that Jesus is the reason for the season.

Ò We love it. We come out every year. We adore it.Ó

While smiles, laughter and cheers domi-nated the night, a near-tragic event occurred midway through the parade when a 5-year-old boy who was walking alongside a fl oat in the parade was struck by the fl oat. The boy was part of the group with the fl oat.

Police are expected to meet with offi cials from the Dade City Chamber of Commerce to determine if any safety changes are necessary.

The parade was delayed roughly 45 min-utes while the boy was treated and later trans-ported to St. JosephÕ s Hospital.

SALOME’S STARS

•It was megalomaniacal French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte who made the following sage observation: Ò Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.Ó•Orchids are lovely flowers, and many people dedicate years to growing them and finding rare specimens. If youÕ re like most people, though, you probably donÕ t re-alize that the word orchid comes from the Greek word Ò orchis,Ó which means Ò testicle.Ó•Records show that the town of Helena, Montana, had more millionaires per capita than any other city in the world -- way back in 1888.•In the early 1970s, a British plumber named John Han-cock replaced an antique toilet in the home of John Len-non, then kept the old toilet for the rest of his life. In 2010, after HancockÕ s death, his heirs put it up for auc-tion. Even the auction house was surprised when the former Beatle’s throne fetched a whopping $14,740.•When you’re in an unpopulated area and gaze up at the night sky, itÕ s easy to be overwhelmed by the pro-fusion of stars.

�FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS: From Page 1A

Ò TheyÕ re still here,Ó said a smiling Gina Granger, Main Street Executive Director. Ò I want to keep them down here. We are so pleased with the way this turned out.Ó

Granger did have some concerns roughly 30 minutes before the parade started when the crowds were lighter than expected.

Ò All of a sudden, there they were,Ó Grang-er said. Ò I turned around for a minute and the streets were packed. It was like a fl ash mob. It was great. The timing of this event is a great fi t. ItÕ s a great way to kick off the holiday season.Ó

The fl oats and other units were all judged in various categories.

The 2011 Festival of Lights Parade winners

are: best display of theme Ò Over the River & Through ZephyrhillsÓ went to Dale Complete Landscaping; best business entry, Pasco Turf & Tractor; best youth organization, Zephyrhills Bulldogs; best marching/walking unit, Zeph-yrhills High School Band; best equestrian unit, Technicolor Horse Farm; best miscellaneous car/truck, Holden On Motorsports; best club entry, American Cancer Society; best religious organization, First United Methodist Church; and best overall entry, GoinÕ Postal.

The long Thanksgiving weekend is past while an even longer break lies ahead with local students of all ages get-ting some extended time off for Christmas and New YearÕ s.

The recent three days off from Zephyrhills High, where I didnÕ t have to wake up be-fore the sun came up and used some of that time to fi nal-ly catch up on a mountain of laundry, have come and gone; same with the 30-pound tur-key.

For us teens, the holiday breaks in November and De-cember are times to refresh for a while before heading back to school for the winter term. For some it was a relaxing peace-ful three days without a care in the world. Others had to go to work, but in the end every-body is thankful for the long-awaited break.

The best part was relax-ation that was so desperately needed in order to keep going. Besides the entire break was meant to not only give thanks but allow students to breathe a little bit without thinking about school.

Ò Normally, Thanksgiv-ing at my house can be pret-ty loud,Ó senior Alex Kitchen said, Ò but thankfully this year it was calm and afterwards I got to eat my turkey sandwich in peace without any interrup-tions,Ó

Another student caught up on her beauty sleep dur-ing the break. Ò I never thought that I would value sleeping in so much until I fi nally got the chance to,Ó said senior Aman-

da Shea. Ò I guess I am sort of rested up now, I suppose IÕ ll get back to my studies.Ó

Yes, it seems as though most of the students are ready to go back to sleep in their fi rst periods. However, give them some time and they will get right back into their grooves.

Although some students were not granted the plea-sure of being able to sleep in as late as they would have liked. Some had to part with their warm beds and head out to work.

Ò I donÕ t mind working over my break since IÕ m get-ting paid and everything, but I would rather be asleep or hanging out with my friends at like McDonaldÕ s or some-thing,Ó senior Kristina Eastep said.

Even though some kids didnÕ t have to work through their entire break they were put on Christmas decoration duty.

Ò I put up lights on our house and I guess it was en-tertaining Ñ better than sitting inside all day,Ó freshman Ryan McCormick said.

Yes, thatÕ s right. Now that weÕ re in December itÕ s time to dust off those old Christmas decorations lodged deep in the back of just about everyoneÕ s shed.

Even though the break is over and school is back in ses-sion, in just three short weeks it will be winter break. For one thing, I cannot wait for the most anticipated break of the entire school year, short of spring break in April.

We teens are back into our old routine of waking up be-fore the sun comes up to head to school.

Some of us are also count-ing the days until the next break.

The words I write in this space on this page every week are strictly my opinion and I thank the management and owners of the paper for giving me this forum. IÕ m not always agreed with, but people at least respect my opinion.

IÕ m told by some of my readers that they read this ed-itorial because IÕ m a straight shooter. I’m fl attered by the compliment and they will be pleased with this column, I have taken aim and I am nail-ing the bulls-eye.

It takes a lot to offend me and hopefully by the time IÕ m done here, I donÕ t offend too many people.

IÕ m not offended when someone wishes me Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza or any other holiday related to their faith. I wish it right back to them. ItÕ s the right thing to do.

So why is politically cor-rect to say, Ò Happy HolidaysÓ instead of Ò Merry Christmas.Ó Why is wishing someone Ò Mer-ry ChristmasÓ offensive?

When a store manager or-ders employees to say Ò Hap-py HolidaysÓ instead of Mer-ry Christmas in our Christian society, it is a travesty. While our society embraces diversity and multiculturalism, we have abandoned our faith, our tradi-tion and our upbringing.

You want to see me get fi red up? Call a Christmas Tree a Holiday Tree or call Christmas lights, holiday lights and call a Christmas Parade anything but a Christmas Parade.

During the Christmas sea-son, IÕ m not supposed to be this angry, but I know many of you feel my pain.

Those trees lighting up the lawn at Florida Hospital Zeph-yrhills are Christmas Trees. The lights lining my house and in my yard are Christmas lights and the parades I covered in Dade City and Zephyrhills last weekend were Christmas Pa-rades.

When I see someone on the street, I wish them a Merry Christmas. IÕ m not going to sit back and wonder what their spiritual beliefs are and then try to give the correct expression of good will.

Ò Merry Christmas,Ó as an expression of good will toward each other is not offensive un-der any circumstances. The ex-pression of oneÕ s self in a non-violent matter is free speech at its essence and few would ar-gue free speech is un-American.

If you donÕ t celebrate Christmas, wishing you a mer-ry one isnÕ t an attack on you, your beliefs or your lifestyle. If someone wishes you a Mer-ry Christmas, simply respond with Ò Happy Hanukkah, Ò Happy Kwanza,Ó Ò Happy New Year,Ó Ò Happy Holidays,Ó or any other statement of good will from our mixed bag Ô o holi-days.

IÕ m not pushing my reli-gious beliefs as a Catholic on you by wishing you a Merry Christ-mas. I have no intention of drag-ging you kicking and screaming to midnight Mass because you donÕ t share my beliefs.

Would Ò Happy Labor DayÓ offend Canadians? Would a Brit take offense to Ò Happy Thanksgiving?Ó Likely, not. Those interactions would al-most certainly lead to dialogue where the parties could share their culture with each other as they work toward mutual ap-preciation and acceptance.

How often do you in-tentionally offend someone? WouldnÕ t it be great if we could stop being afraid to be nice? In a world where people are grow-ing increasingly detached, itÕ s a shame to see a time of year grounded in togetherness slow-ly pulled apart at the seams.

When a cashier says Ò Have a nice evening,Ó nobody has a problem with it, but as soon as they say Ò Merry ChristmasÓ theyÕ re oppressing and insensi-tive?

Why canÕ t we just relax? Merry Christmas is not the same as Ò merry holiday-that-proves-my-beliefs-are-right-and-yours-are-wrong.Ó In our discussion, we agreed we would love, and draw as much joy from, being wished a Ò Happy HanukkahÓ as a Ò Merry Christmas.Ó In fact, we thought a Happy Hanuk-kah might be better, as itÕ s eight days long, and therefore eight times as happy.

The holidays arenÕ t about right and wrong. TheyÕ re about embracing the people you care about and starting a new year together. ThatÕ s something we can all identify with, regardless of how we acknowledge it, or why weÕ ve chosen to acknowl-edge it.

I know many people share my opinion and if you do, send me a Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or any other greeting to [email protected].

Oh, by the way, from my family to yours, Ò Merry Christ-mas.Ó

“Merry Christmas” isn’t offensive

Pasco defeats Tampa Jesuit 31-7 in Class 5A region fi nal, aims for

second state championship

Not since the Class 3A state football champion-ship game in 1992 had there been as much at stake in a postseason clash between Pasco and Tampa Jesuit. The Pirates jubilantly ran off the fi eld in celebration of a 28-16 win 19 years ago for what still is the coun-tyÕ s lone state title.

The Pirates aim to repeat history and have a chance to do just that after last FridayÕ s 31-7 rout of the Tigers in a Class 5A, Region 2 fi nal at W.F. Ed-wards Stadium. Five-time district champion Pasco, which has six shutouts this season, will visit Craw-fordville Wakulla in Friday’s state semifi nal. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.

The Pirates (13-0) last played in a state semifi nal in 2008. This year, they have followed up a perfect 10-0 regular season with postseason victories over Alachua Santa Fe, Citra North Marion and Jesuit.

“Excellent job,” Pasco coach Tom McHugh told his players as cheerleaders and fans milled around a postgame huddle. Ò YouÕ re not supposed to beat that team on a cow pasture in Pasco County. State fi nal, nothing but that; no excuses to lose.”

As for Jesuit, that teamÕ s only loss before being ousted from the playoffs Friday came against peren-nial state contender Plant during the regular season.

While Pasco County teams do not usually fare

well when going up against opponents from neigh-boring Hillsborough, the Pirates ensured this time would be different by clinching their victory with 17 points in the fourth quarter. Pasco led 14-7 at half-time and neither team scored in the third quarter.

“They never quit,” said McHugh, who has just 10 losses in fi ve seasons coaching the Pirates.

“They’re fi ghters. They have heart.”In front of a sold-out crowd and in a game tele-

vised by Bright House Networks, the Pirates struck fi rst on Jacob Guy’s plunge into the end zone from a yard out on a quarterback keeper. Guy connected

Pasco football players, cheerleaders and coaches gather round head coach Tom McHugh for a postgame speech following an impressive win over Tampa Jesuit in a Class 5A region final. The Pirates visit Crawfordville Wakulla for Friday’s state semifinal.

Pirates earn fi rst state berth since 2008

First-year coach loses season opener 48-36 to rival Pirates

What looked to be dominance by Pas-co early turned into a tight wrestling match, but Zephyrhills came up short falling 48-36 in their season opening match.

With a big crowd on hand for head coach Mike Smith’s debut at the helm at ZHS, the Bulldogs put on a middleweight rally to win fi ve of seven matches and drew within just six points of the Pirates with three matches to go.

The Pirates won two of the fi nal three matches to get the 48-36 win and spoil SmithÕ s homecoming as coach of the Bulldogs. Smith wrestled at ZHS in the early 1990s, graduating in 1994.

“We didn’t give up,” said Smith. “We were tough out there and thatÕ s what I asked of them.”

Volleyball co-player of the year Kaitlyn Blount and footballÕ s Jamal Roberts are ZephyrhillsÕ

only fi rst-teamers

The postseason awards are out with 17 male and female athletes from Zephyrhills High being named to the All-Sunshine Athletic Con-ference teams chosen by Pasco County coaches from 13 public schools.

Overall, thatÕ s one fewer than last fall when 18 Bulldogs made All-SAC in fi ve sports — cross country, football, golf, swimming and volleyball.

Leading the way this year for the Bulldogs were fi rst-teamers Ja-mal Roberts, a senior quarterback for the football team, and volleyball co-player of the year Kaitlyn Blount, who shared that honor with Hud-son setter Lacey Carley.

“That’s a real honor for her,” Zephyrhills volleyball coach Dan Muir said of Blount, a three-year varsity player.

A senior middle hitter who had been an outside hitter as a sopho-more and junior, Blount switched positions to fi ll a void in the lineup and proved to be one of the teamÕ s leaders.

New Patients are Welcome

More than 20 people gathered on Nov. 17, which is National ChildrenÕ s Grief Awareness Day, at Gulfside Regional HospiceÕ s Bereave-ment Center to honor their loved onesÕ mem-ory at a Feast of Remembrance as part of Gulf-sideÕ s Mending Hearts ChildrenÕ s Program. The children were encouraged to bring food to share that reminded them of their loved ones. Ò This is a time of year to give thanks,Ó said Sonia Quinones, director of bereavement and volunteers at Gulfside. Ò Often families re-member a special dish that their loved one once prepared or enjoyed eating. The food and Feast of Remembrance helps the children remember their loved ones and starts dialogue with others facing the same issue in a non-traditional way.Ó GulfsideÕ s bereavement staff also encour-aged the children who attended the Feast of Re-membrance to write what they are thankful for this year. Common answers included family, friends and good health.

Ò Sitting down together for the Feast of Re-membrance helps reinforce the idea of being a family and being connected,Ó said Quinones. Ò ItÕ s special that we were able to hold the Feast this year in New Port Richey on ChildrenÕ s Grief Awareness Day, since the ChildrenÕ s pro-gram is such an important part of our bereave-ment department.Ó Another Feast of Remembrance was held for families that live in East Pasco County. All of GulfsideÕ s support groups are free and open to the public for anyone who is ex-periencing grief from the loss of a loved one. All groups are led by a trained grief counselor. Prior association with Gulfside Regional Hos-pice is not needed to attend any of the support groups. For more information about any of the support groups or the Mending Hearts Chil-dren’s Program, call (727) 844-3946 or (813) 780-1235.

Did you know?

Many people know that stress can be bad for your mental health, but as it turns out, it can also be bad for your physical health. Re-searchers have linked be-haviors associated with stress, such as drinking al-cohol, using drugs, or even binging on comfort foods, with the deterioration of the adrenal gland. The ad-renal gland releases stress hormones that signal to the body whether to fi ght or get out of the situation (fl ight). If mollifying substances are introduced into the body, it negatively affects the del-icate way the stress sys-tem works, and the adre-nal gland eventually put-ters out. That means the body can be in a constant level of stress, or a person can feel stressed even over minor things. This also im-pacts the heart, liver, blood pressure, and a number of other factors. Keeping stress in check is important, but it shouldnÕ t be done in a way that does more harm than good.

with Trey Dudley-Giles on a 21-yard pass play and David Emmanuel had a 20-yard run on that scoring drive.

But Jesuit (11-2) went ahead 7-6 early in the second quarter when Tommy Eveld, who en-tered the game with 2,145 passing yards and 19 touchdowns, completed a 51-yard scoring pass to Bryce Walker.

That lead was short-lived as the Pirates scored on the ensuing possession. Jacob Guy threw a 46-yard touchdown pass to Dudley-Giles before that pair reversed roles on a suc-cessful two-point conversion play with Guy hauling in a fl oater from Dudley-Giles in the right corner of the end zone.

For Guy, it was his 37th touchdown pass, two shy of the county single-season record held by 2004 Land OÕ Lakes graduate Drew Weath-erford.

Ò We want to make big plays weÕ ve made

all our lives,Ó Dudley-Giles said, alluding to himself, Guy, Emmanuel and teammate Janar-ion Grant, who all won numerous champion-ships for Dade City in the Pasco Police Athletic League.

In the fourth quarter, freshman Brandon Ray, whose 21-yard fi eld goal the previous week clinched a 31-28 playoff win over Citra North Marion, kicked a 42-yard fi eld goal be-fore Grant scored on a 6-yard run and a 102-yard interception return.

With the Pasco offense coming through with clutch scoring drives, the defense made its contribution as well. Dudley-Giles and Grant each had two interceptions off of Eveld, who had just six picks entering the region fi nal.

Ò TheyÕ re big-time football players,Ó McHugh said. Ò ThatÕ s what you expect them to do.Ó

Guy and Dudley-Giles are seniors and Di-vision I recruits. Grant is a junior and already on college coaches radar.

�WRESTLING: From Page 1B

SmithÕ s lineup is loaded with potential young talent with six freshmen and a sopho-more making up half of the weight classes.

Ò The future is bright for ZHS,Ó Smith add-ed. “We have freshmen in our fi rst four weight classes and two others in our middle weights. Then we have a sophomore at heavyweight. Ò

Pasco jumped out to a 24-0 lead with four straight pins from Kevin Tipton (106), Kurtis Boas (113), J.P. Gomez (120) and Skylar White (126).

Zephyrhills answered back at 132 pounds when Nathan Master battled his way to a pin against PascoÕ s Andrew Riddagh. Brian Mat-thews added another at 138 when he pinned Malik Dockins.

The match of the night came at 145 when Zephyrhills Jake Smith squared off against Niko DÕ Augustino. Smith manhandled

DÕ Augustino and jumped out to a 10-2 lead. In the second period, Smith got himself out of po-sition and DÕ Augustino capitalized and regis-tered the pin.

Lauren Parker put the Bulldogs on the board again with a pin at 152, but Mike Smith dropped a tough match to PascoÕ s John Brown at 160 to allow the Pirates to jump out to a 36-18 lead.

Veteran wrestlers Joel Morrison (170) and Jacob McLaughlin (182) helped the Bulldogs narrow the gap picking up big pins to pull the Bulldogs to 36-30.

Pasco sealed the win with wins at 195 and 220 and Bulldog heavyweight Dalton Hender-son picked up a pin to close out the night.

Ò We got to get the young kids going,Ó Smith said. Ò We canÕ t give up 24 straight right off the bat. If we keep that up, itÕ s going to be a long year.Ó

High school wrestlers pump outthousands of push-ups for Special

Olympics

A high school athlete doing 1,300 push-ups in an hour sounds more like punishment than it does a triumph, but Zephy-rhills wrestlers did Ò Push-Ups for a PurposeÓ to help raise mon-ey for their program and, more importantly, Special Olympics.

The Nov. 29 event honored former Zephyrhills Special Olympian Ryan Smith, the nephew of Zephyrhills’ fi rst-year coach Mike Smith. It raised $2,200 with nearly half of that going to Special Olympics.

Ryan Smith, who had Downs Syndrome, passed away at age 24 last year.

Ò Honestly it was devastating,Ó said coach Smith. Ò He was one of my closest friends and he was a rock to our family. We miss him deeply and wanted to honor him for the rest of our lives. We felt this could be one small way of doing that.Ó

Senior captain Jake Smith, Ryan SmithÕ s cousin, hit the 1,300 push-up mark exceeding his total last year of 1,025 and credits his increase to trying to raise as much money as his body would

let him for Special Olympics.Ò It gave me extra motivation to

do it,Ó said Smith, whose arms ached so much he couldnÕ t tie his shoes. Ò I raised about $200 and itÕ s for a good cause.Ó

Coach Smith proposed the idea to his team and they jumped right in and were ready to pump it up for Special Olympics.

Ò Everyone at this time of year is getting hit up for mon-ey to sponsor this and sponsor that,Ó coach Smith said. Ò This year I wanted to show the kids that itÕ s important to get, but more important to give back to our community as well. These kids worked very hard to get pledges.

Ò Ryan will never be forgotten. These kids are unique and special to us. I told the kids we are doing push-ups for a pur-pose. I just want them to know that there is a bigger purpose in life than wrestling and sports.Ó

It is a lesson that sits very well with Special Olympics co-ordinator Judy Brunner.

Ò Ryan is still a part of us.Ó Brunner said. Ò I just think that itÕ s special that they are doing that for our special athletes. This is fantastic that they did it in memory of Ryan. Every-thing helps.Ó

Ò She really stepped up from her ju-nior to senior year,Ó Muir said. Ò Kaitlyn has always been a consistent hitter. I just challenged her to take a few more risks.Ó

That challenge paid off in the form of some impressive statistics for Blount, who had 351 kills, 183 blocks, 166 service points (including 35 aces) and 100 digs.

Ò SheÕ s an all-around player. She nev-er comes off the fl oor,” Muir said.

Joining Blount on the All-SAC list were teammates Sierra Bahr, a libero, and setter Danielle Muir, the coachÕ s daughter. That trio helped lead the Bulldogs to an 18-9 record as well as their fi rst district championship and second-round playoff berth since 1999.

Ò The whole team was successful, because they were willing to do whatever was best for the team,Ó said Muir, who in 2009 and 2010 was the SAC Coach of the Year.

As for Roberts, the senior ranked among the countyÕ s top rushers and was instrumental in the teamÕ s resurgence as the Bulldogs went 6-4 overall, which included a fourth-place con-ference fi nish with a 6-3 mark.

Ò I think it was a mindset change, for one thing,Ó Zephyrhills football coach Reggie Rob-erts said of his quarterback stepping up and taking charge of the triple-option offense this past season. Ò He worked hard this summer. I think he took it seriously.Ó

Roberts, who had also played running back and wide receiver as a versatile offensive player in the past, relished his full-time role at quarterback this fall. He gained 1,030 yards on the ground while passing for 542 with fi ve interceptions. Of his 26 touchdowns only six came through the air.

RobertsÕ top rushing performance was 206 yards with three touchdowns in a loss to Fivay. In all, he topped the 100-yard rushing mark in fi ve games, had at least three rushing touch-

downs in six contests and passed for more than 100 yards twice.

Ò I told him, Ô ItÕ s my program, but itÕ s your team,Õ Ó the coach said of a preseason pep talk with his starting quarterback. Ò He did very well. It just came to him. He basically ran the offense. He made the choices (to run or pass) and he took it when it came to him.Ó

Also making all-conference in football were: Devon Long, Jacob McLaughlin, Devon Brockington and Antoine Carr.

ZephyrhillsÕ other athletes on All-SAC lists included: Golf Ñ Tiffany Bahr, Karisten Deem, Sydney Owens, Danielle Bahr, Corey Bahr, Cody Nichols; Cross country Ñ Jared Hussey and McKenzie Meek; Swimming Ñ Ashley Morris and Samuel Rockhill.

Additionally, there were several top ath-letes and coaches from other area schools hon-ored. That group included boys and girls cross country coaches of the year Chris Loth and Don Howard from Wiregrass Ranch, along with the BullsÕ Nikita Shah being the girls cross country runner of the year.

PascoÕ s Trey Dudley-Giles was chosen of-fensive player of the year in football. Giles and All-SAC teammates Jacob Guy, David Emman-uel, Janarion Grant, Nick Wilson, Aryn Strick-land, Mike Tarver, Joey Ivie and Phillip Thomp-son led the Pirates to their second straight un-beaten season and state semifi nal berth.
