Share Pictured at a recent Powder Puff practice are Autumn Jackson, Tiffany Braddy, Elizabeth Renninger, Sarah Gibson, Logan Nevill Yasmine, Blue Tyrona Green, Tina Hauge, Jasmine Ruise, Rhondesia Clayton, Kallie Raulerson and Faith Finley. Football returns to Memorial Stadium this week with spring scrimmages and the Powder Puff game, all on May 18.
Though this Friday’s Wildcats scrimmage isn’t an official spring football game, it holds a lot of the significance for the coaching staff. With the spring game versus Trinity Catholic coming up on May 24, the scrimmage will be a chance for Coach Ryan Sulkowski to finalize his depth chart.
“There are still a few positions where a starter has not been named and we are using the rest of this week to evaluate those positions,” said Sulkowski.
The scrimmage will be used as a “measuring stick” to determine who will be in the starting line up against Trinity Catholic.
“Next week will be treated as a ‘game week’ in which only our returning players will practice and put in the offensive and defensive game plans,” he said.
In addition to the Wildcat scrimmage at 7 pm, middle school Bobcats fans will get an opportunity at 5 pm to see who will be on the field in the fall.

Table set for votes on closure of Barber Road, sand mining |

Share The Barber Road bridge. The Baker County Commission is poised to vote on closing the substandard bridge that connects the eastern and western portions of Barber Road between SRs 121 and 228 in the south county.
The board will consider a resolution the evening of May 21 that would direct county staff to erect barricades, signs and markings to “inhibit any or all access by the public to the Barber Road Bridge” while still maintaining and retaining ownership of the structure.
The resolution cites numerous concerns and complaints expressed by the residents on Barber Road and the commission’s primary goal to protect public safety as justification for the proposed bridge closure.
Several years ago, at the urging of those living on the thoroughfare, the county erected “Closed to Through Traffic” signs at either end of the county-owned portion of the roughly half-mile connector.
The eastern half under county jurisdiction is dirt while the western portion is paved and within the City of Macclenny limits.
But the signs didn’t work and drivers kept coming, residents told commissioners last March when they requested further steps be taken.
Beyond the increase in traffic volume that accompanied the arrival of the Walmart Supercenter, they complained about drivers throwing trash out of vehicles, speeding and ignoring the three-way stop where Barber Road turns sharply to the northeast toward the bridge over Turkey Creek.
The Barber Road bridge was first built in 1941 and reconstructed 40 years later. After its last inspection by the Florida Department of Transportation in September, 2011, it was given a sufficiency rating of 63.3 on a 100-point scale and deemed “functionally obsolete.”

Share Kentavis Walker A Lake City man with a criminal record of drug and weapon offenses was sentenced May 1 to 18 months in prison after he entered no contest pleas to carrying a concealed firearm and fleeing police.
Kentavis Walker, 21, was arrested in south Macclenny on Leap Day this year after he accelerated away from a county deputy who had pulled up behind him parked in the middle of the street and led the officer on a chase of several blocks.
Police found a pistol and six small baggies of cocaine and marijuana in the vehicle but the state dropped drug possession counts in return for the two other pleas. An initial count of driving on a suspended license was also dropped.
Mr. Walker was in the company of a 16-year-old Macclenny girl that night. At the time of his arrest, he was also wanted in Columbia County.
