RUSTON – It took an extra five minutes to decide the winner between Louisiana Tech and Stephen F. Austin on Wednesday inside the Thomas Assembly Center on Karl Malone Court.

It ended up being the Lumberjacks who prevailed as AJ Cajuste made the game-winning basket with 0.9 seconds left in an 80-79 decision.

LA Tech (6-4) and SFA (6-4) got its points in different ways all night. The Bulldogs were dominant in the paint, outscoring their opponent 54-28. It was needed as one of the best three-point shooting teams in the country managed just a season-low four triples.

“Every possession matters,” said Tech head coach Talvin Hester. “All of the mistakes throughout the game accumulated to them winning by one. It was not just the last possession, it was a bunch of possessions throughout the game that we could have changed the outcome.”

Meanwhile, the ‘Jacks got much of their scoring from beyond the arc, draining 14 three-pointers. The 12th one came from Cajuste to give the visiting team a 68-66 advantage with 35 seconds remaining in regulation.

LA Tech turned it over on the next possession, but got one more crack at sending it to OT after SFA’s Nana Antwi-Boasiako missed the front end of a one-and-one. And tie it up they did as Cobe Williams dished out one of his career-high 11 assists to Kenny Hunter who made the layup to knot up the score at 68-all.

Cajuste attempted to end the game, but Williams came up with a block to force the extra frame.

The Lumberjacks got three-pointers No. 13 and 14 from Kyle Hayman to build a small 76-72 advantage with 1:29 to play in overtime.

“At the end of the day, you are going to give up something,” said Hester. “We turned them over 28 times and dominated points in the paint. Every team is going to do something to score. We kept them out of the paint and out of transition. People are going to score somehow and they did it with 14 threes.”

Meanwhile, Williams continued to will the team back in it, just as he did in the second half when LA Tech got down 59-51 after SFA went on a 17-2 run to erase the home team’s largest lead at 49-42.

The fourth-year guard made another dish to Hunter for the alley-oop slam and then converted an old-fashioned three-point play with four ticks on the clock to give the ‘Dogs an 80-79 lead. However, Cajuste had just enough time to take the ball the length of the floor and make the game-winning attempt.

Williams finished with his first career double-double, scoring a game-high 23 points to go along with his 11 dimes. The two-time C-USA All-Defensive Team selection also had a career-high five steals.

“It was always tough losing at home,” said Williams. “I was just playing hard, trying to do anything for my team to get a win. On defense, we have to keep working on our rotations. We have to break this game down, move on from it, and get ready for conference on Saturday.”

Hunter was sensational off the bench, posting a career-high 16 points on 8-of-9 shooting. The freshman Jordan Crawford was the third Bulldog in double figures with 13 points.

SFA had five players score double-digit points, led by Hayman who had 18.

In the mid-1960s, the space race, the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union, Cold War rivals, was at its peak.  At first, the Soviet Union was ahead.  They sent up the first artificial satellite (Sputnik 1), sent the first human into space (Yuri Gagarin), and had the first human make a “spacewalk” (Alexei Leonov).  America had to play catch up, but had several firsts as well.  This is the true story about one of the American firsts in space.

Memorial services for Mrs. Sandra Ann Gass, age 76 of Ruston, LA will be held by the family at 10:30 AM, Thursday, December 15, 2022 at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Ruston.

Sandra was born October 9, 1946 in New Orleans, LA to Mary and Paul Landry, and she passed away December 8, 2022 in Monroe, LA. She loved oil and water color painting and was very talented. Sandra liked photography and enjoyed reading. She was very active in the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Ruston. Sandra volunteered for over 20 years at Camp Quality and worked with children with cancer. She was known as “Mrs. Sandy” and was a huge impact on their lives. Sandra worked hard to fundraiser for children’s cancer organizations. She was preceded in death by her parents.

A Ruston man was arrested Monday morning after police spotted him hiding in a vacant building.

A Ruston Police shift supervisor was on patrol about 8:45 a.m. when he saw the man crouched down in a vacant building on E. Mississippi Avenue. Jabarri Thurman, 23, was found on the old city power plant property now owned by a Monroe development company. Thurman was not authorized to be in the building.

A records check revealed four warrants for Thurman’s arrest for failing to appear in Ruston City Court.

Thurman was arrested and booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for criminal trespass and the warrants for simple battery, resisting an officer, and two counts of driving under suspension.

Persons named or shown in photographs or video as suspects in a criminal investigation, or arrested and charged with a crime, have not been convicted of any criminal offense and are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. 

A Ruston woman was arrested early Saturday morning after she allegedly struck her boyfriend and took his phone.

Ruston Police responded to a Kavanaugh Road apartment about 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning. The victim said he was sitting at a table with coworkers when his girlfriend of five year grabbed his cell phone and ran into the bathroom, locking the door. When she exited the bathroom, she ran outside and threw his phone across the yard. She then reportedly approached him aggressively and struck him on the head with her open hand. The victim said he retrieved his phone and called the police.

Amber Cowsar, 37, admitted she struck the victim’s head with an open hand. She was arrested and handcuffed but then attempted to pull away from the officer several times in an attempt to attack the victim. She refused to stop pulling away and had to be restrained until she calmed down.

Cowsar was taken to the Lincoln Parish Detention Center and booked for domestic abuse battery and resisting an officer.

Bail was set at $1,500.

Playing in the same district as Division IV Select School state champion Ouachita Christian along with Cedar Creek and St. Frederick, which both also reached the playoffs, made for a tough season for the Lincoln Preparatory School Panthers.

But the Panthers, who finished at 3-9 after a first-round playoff loss at Ascension Catholic, still managed to put five players on the 2022 All-District 2-1A football team.

Lincoln Prep’s lone first-team selection for athlete Brandon Heard, who played wide receiver, running back, quarterback and defensive back for the Panthers.

“I can’t help but wish we could have cloned him and had more of him,” Panthers coach Glen Hall said. “Brandon did a little bit of everything for us. He’s just a great overall athlete with solid skills and had a strong season back on the football field.”

Heard played football as a freshman before moving to basketball only for two seasons during the COVID pandemic before returning to the gridiron for his senior season.

As a receiver, Heard hauled in 40 passes for 656 receiving yards — that’s 16.4 yards per reception — and seven touchdowns.

But Heard did much more than catch.

Also seeing playing time at running back and even a little under center, Heard added 279 yards and three touchdowns on 55 carries while also returning kicks to push his all-purpose yards total to 998 yards on 96 touches.

Lincoln Prep seniors Bralyn Mayfield, Jamarion Buggs and offensive lineman Lathan Elmore all were named second-team all-district selections.

Mayfield connected on 62-of-146 of his pass attempts for 1/114 yards for 11 touchdowns while adding 148 yards and another score on 28 carries.

Buggs caught 14 passes on the season for 297 yards with three of those going for touchdowns.

Senior Chauncey Harper is the Panthers’ lone defensive player on the all-district team, earning second-team honors.

Overcoming multiple injuries, the Lincoln Prep safety totaled 19 tackles (14 solo) on the season with two interceptions returned for 55 yards along with six pass defenses, one sack and one forced fumble.

For the remainder of this week, the LPJ will run letters and from community supporters for the Ruston Bearcats after their run to the Superdome. Submissions to lpjnewsla@gmail.com will be accepted through 12/15/22.

Me- “Yes he will, and he’ll have the best seat in the house “

See you next season!

*Letters and notes will be reviewed by LPJ staff before publishing. Not every note is guaranteed to be published.

Today is the unofficial First Day of Christmas since it’s 12 days until The Big Day, which means it’s fixing to be Christmas. 

That we say “fixing to” instead of “about to” is one of the joys of being a Southerner. Who said it first, I don’t know, but bless his heart, and merry First Day of Christmas to you. 

Some traditions hold that the First Day of Christmas is December 25, and the 12 days run into the New Year. Who wants to wait that long? Not me. We’re fixing to start celebrating now. 

Speaking of things southern, we’ve been working on some carols, Southern-themed: 

“I’m dreaming of a white cornbread,
In every skillet that’s in sight.
May the sides be crispy, to bite,
And may all your cornbreads be just right.” 

Or, how about . . . 

“Pork skins roasting on an open fire.
Chittlins’ nipping at your nose.
Waylon and Willy being sung by the fire,
While dad spends Christmas Eve at Lowe’s.” 

Give me some time to work on it …  

Thankfully, the most important songs were written at the dawn of time and wait as gifts for us to receive and to sing with sincerity, even as the angels sang, that long-ago Judean night, as Luke recorded: 

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,
goodwill toward men.”  

Peace and goodwill came to earth, to men, in the flesh and as a baby. Only God could have thought of something like that. 

William Billings, regarded as America’s first choral composer, captured — at least as well as a human mind can — the mystery of the incarnation in his Shepherd’s Carol, composed in New England in the mid-1700s. 

“Seek not in courts or palaces,
nor royal curtains draw.
But search the stable, see your God
extended on the straw.”

God, extended on the straw. 

Extended, as a baby, a stretching newborn.  Extended, from a heavenly throne to an earthly manger.  Extended, to mankind and to man, to each of us, individually. 

God extends his hand.  Even to me.  Even to you.  

Christmas is always the opportunity to receive the best gift of all, a new birth in our old selves. And a new song the Psalmist told us about. 

“He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God . . ..”   

Now some 2,000 years after Christ’s birth, the message is the same.  A 19th century minister named Phillips Brooks reminds us, each year at this time, that the Good News is everlasting.  If we choose to be quiet, we might even hear the song, the new song, born in a manger. 

“How silently, how silently
the wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive him still,
the dear Christ enters in.” 

If no one’s wished you Merry Christmas yet, I’m “fixing to.” Let me be the first. Here’s hoping we can get in tune with the baby and ourselves and each other, and make this our best song yet.

This past weekend, I competed in the Run Caney 12-mile trail run event near Minden, Louisiana.  Every three months, I select some race or fitness event to participate in as part of my goal setting process for the quarter.  As I train each day, the goal of the event provides me with the structure for my training (management), incentive for my training (motivation), and tracking of my progress (measurement).  While my purpose is to live a healthy life and have an identity as an athlete (even at my age), the goals are helpful as I pursue this purpose and identity.  Achieving the goal is not the end, but merely a mile marker along the pathway to purpose and identity.  

With that as the backdrop, this race was the toughest challenge that I have faced since beginning this endeavor several years ago.  Twelve miles is a long way, and the hills and terrain of a trail race made it much more difficult than the half-marathon that I did earlier this year.  This trail had all the normal obstacles of any trail through the woods.  There were the steep hills to manage, the ever-present roots to watch out for, a few streams to jump over, and various other natural obstacles to deal with along the path.  

It took me just under two hours and twenty minutes to complete the two loops of the six-mile trail.  As always, I look back at the challenges and see so many similarities to life that one encounters on races such as this one.

Going up steep hills:  We are all going to face difficult challenges in life.  As we approach the base and start to look up, we can’t see the top at times.  We have no idea when it will level out.  All we know for sure is that it is going to be hard.  The key to running up any actual hill or taking on any stiff challenge in life is to keep moving and keep pushing forward.  Don’t stop.  Lean into the challenge and just keep pushing forward focused on the next step.  Don’t worry about how you are going to do ten steps later, but rather just stay focused on pushing forward with that next step.  Whatever you are going through today, just keep getting up each morning and take that next step.  You may not be able to see the end, and you may be exhausted.  Just keep taking one more step.  Momentum is the key here.

Going down a steep hill:  We will also face times where it seems like life is out of control.  Going down a steep hill in a race can be somewhat like that if we don’t handle it carefully.  I saw some reckless, dangerous actions going down hills Saturday morning.  They were completely out of control.  That happens in life as well.  When you come to points in life where things can start spinning out of control, the key is to slow down, focus on where to make that next step, be mindful of obstacles that could trip you up, and maneuver down carefully.  You don’t need to stop, but you need to adjust, monitor, and move with caution.  Adjust as needed to stay in control until things level out.   

Run your race, not someone else’s:  On trail runs, I like to stay close to others that are more familiar with the course.  I don’t want to take the wrong path.  The key though is to find people that are running at a pace that fits me.  I didn’t do that for the first mile Saturday.  I ran with a group that was running way too fast for me, and I ultimately found out that they were just running the six-mile option of the race.  Life can be like that as well.  We need to run our race at a pace that fits our ability, our potential, and not run at a pace for someone else’s race.  Running at someone else’s pace for their race can be exhausting and lead to a miserable experience in life (as well as a trail race).  I made an adjustment Saturday morning before it was too late and got back to my pace on my race.  You may need to make an adjustment as well.

The roots will trip you:  Some roots are larger than others, and some are visible while others can’t be seen for various reasons.  In any of these cases, they will trip you if you aren’t careful.  You either go over or around them.  The key is to watch the ground in front of you anticipating where you need to take the next steps to avoid danger.  Life has its share of “roots” along our pathways as well just looking to trip us.  Like the race, we know what many of the potential dangers look like but may not recognize all of them.  In running, the keys are to watch and pick your feet up as you run.  In life, we also need to be aware of obstacles and not grow weary of making wise decisions.  

There’s a lot to learn in a little over two hours of exhausting trail running.  I guess I learn lessons the hard way.  In any case, that goal is accomplished and Sunday morning at 5 a.m. was time to start training for that next challenge.  More to come and more to learn.

Ruston’s Bearcat hoopers took a 70-48 win over Arcadia Monday night on the road and improved their overall record to 10-1 on the season.

“We had a good game after a few days off,” Ruston head coach Ryan Bond said. “We worked our football guys back into the rotation some. We weren’t sharp on the defensive end at times, but we played hard.”

Senior Braylan McNeal scored 24 points, while sophomore Joran Park and junior Jay Lillard both scored 12 points apiece.

The Bearcats will host the Remington Butler Classic in the Ruston High School gymnasium Dec. 15 through Dec. 17.

When Construction Engineering Technology (CET) freshman Lauren Parker saw that her program was offering a new T-shirt design competition, she knew that she wanted to create a design that showed off the program’s contributions to Louisiana Tech.

Parker, who chose CET because of her love for business and construction, wanted her design to expand on the theme that won the previous competition in 2019. Since the previous design defined construction engineering technology for people outside the major, Parker decided to take that a step further and show how the skills CET majors learn impact society. To do that, she highlighted the construction elements of the College of Engineering and Science’s most recent addition to campus, the Integrated Engineering and Science Building (IESB).

“I picked the blueprint of the IESB because it is where CET majors study together, host meetings for student organizations like the Associated General Contractors and the newly founded Louisiana Society of Professional Land Surveyors, and engage in practical and hands-on learning. Plus, because the IESB is so new to campus that it has a different architectural appeal than many older buildings, there is a lot of interest regarding its construction. I wanted prospective and current students to know that, ultimately, the incredible feat that is the IESB would not have been built without those in CET-related fields. I really do believe that the foundation for a better future is at Louisiana Tech and will be built by my CET classmates and those to come!”

Program chair Reginald Jeter says that the competition had numerous great entries this year, and Parker’s vision to explore the effects construction engineering technology has had on campus gave her the edge.

“The judges had a challenging task to select the winner because there were several very good designs submitted,” he said. “Lauren won with her design using an IESB plan and the many opportunities available with a CET degree. Congratulations to Lauren!!”

Louisiana Tech looks to bounce back tonight as the Bulldogs play host to reigning WAC regular season champion Stephen F. Austin on national television. Fans are encouraged to wear red as part of the annual “Red Out” game.

Tipoff at the Thomas Assembly Center is set for 6 p.m. and the game can be heard on 107.5 FM and via the LA Tech Athletics app. It can also be seen on ESPNU.

Tonight marks the 15th meeting all-time between LA Tech and Stephen F. Austin with the series being knotted up at 7-7. The 14 meetings have been scattered throughout the years, first playing twice to open the 1939-40 season. The two squads last played a home-and-home in 2017-18 with the road team winning both times.

The Bulldogs have won five of the last six meetings, including a 96-93 overtime victory in Nacogdoches in 2018.

LA Tech (6-3) had their five-game winning streak come to an end with a 92-65 loss at Wyoming this past Saturday. A nine-minute stretch in the first half was the difference in the game as the Cowboys went on a 23-5 run.

Despite the loss, the Bulldogs made 10 three-pointers in the matchup. They currently rank second in Conference USA and 24th in the country in three-pointers made per game at 9.9. They have made at least nine threes in seven of their nine games (averaging 11.4 made triples over there last five games).

David Green had his breakout game of the season in Laramie, coming off the bench to score a career-tying 21 points. In only 16 minutes played, the forward went 7-of-9 from the field and 4-of-5 from beyond the arc, becoming the fifth Bulldog this season to score at least 20 points in a single game.

In recent history, LA Tech has done a good job of bouncing back from losses. The ‘Dogs have suffered back-to-back defeats only four times over the last three-plus seasons. Even more impressive, they are 42-1 over the last decade when playing at home immediately following a road/neutral site loss.

Stephen F. Austin (5-4) has been up-and-down this season, winning three of its first four games followed by a stretch of losing three of four games. The Lumberjacks cracked the .500 bar­rier this past Sunday with a lopsided 103-40 victory at home against Paul Quinn.

SFA played in the Western Athletic Conference for the first season last year, claiming the WAC regular season title with a 14-4 league mark. The Lumberjacks were picked to finish third in the 2022-23 WAC preseason rankings behind Grand Canyon and New Mexico State.

Offensively, SFA ranks 28th in the country in field goal percentage at 47.4. Defensively, they excel at turning people over, ranking fourth in the country in forced TOs at 18.06 per game.

The Lumberjacks get contributions from ev­eryone as seven different players average at least eight points per game. They are an­chored by the trio of Sadaidriene Hall, Latrell Jossell, and Nigel Hawkins who average 12-13 points per game. Hall was an All-WAC Pre­season Second Team selection.

Lilla Mary Elise Jimmerson of Ruston, Louisiana, and Christopher Scott McGuire of Benton, Louisiana, were united in holy matrimony at 4:00 P. M. on Saturday, November 26, 2022, at Trinity United Methodist Church in Ruston in a ceremony officiated by the Rev. Roger Michael “Micky” Cloud. The bride was presented for Christian marriage by her father.

Lilla is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Dalridge Jimmerson of Ruston. Lilla earned a B. A. in Speech-Language Pathology with an Audiology concentration and an M.

For her wedding day, the bride chose an ivory crepe and Mikado silk gown from the Justin Alexander Signature Collection. The gown featured a Sabrina neckline with a ruched shoulder detail, a long-sleeved crepe bodice with asymmetrical pleating on the shoulder and a keyhole back, and a classic royal A-line skirt in Mikado silk with a chapel-length train accented with silk-covered buttons. She wore a cathedral-length veil accented with sequined lace from the fingertip to the hem and a silver headband with crystals and pearls in a floral-leaf pattern. She carried a hand-tied bouquet of Playa Blanca garden roses, Royal Porcelina blush roses, and white spray roses accented by white lisianthus, waxflower, and parvifolia and silver dollar eucalyptus. The bride’s bouquet, the wedding party’s flowers, and the floral arrangements in the sanctuary were designed by Lori Golden.

The bride was attended by Allison Brister Burkhardt as matron of honor and Hannah Mae Myles as maid of honor. Bridesmaids included Kelly Lynn Doughty, Samantha Hawthorne Kennedy, and Adela Marie Trevino. The flower girl was Adelyn Louise Bridge, the bride’s cousin.

The groom was attended by best men Kody Duane Chapman and Michael Chad Johnson. Groomsmen included Demarria Danzell Green, Andrew Griffin Cole, and Jacoby Jerome Thornton. The ring bearer was Henry Delano Fauber, the groom’s cousin. Another cousin of the bride, Maxwell Gregory Braswell, and Preston Ryan Gray served as ushers. 

Musicians for the wedding ceremony included pianist Jeanne Dickson Patterson, organist Deborah McClung Guillory, and vocalist Chanley Ellen Patterson. Mary “Duddy” Garrett served as the church’s wedding coordinator, and Karen Malone Webre, and Lisa White Owens assisted her.

Following the ceremony, a reception with dinner and dancing was held at Squire Creek Country Club in Choudrant under the direction of the club’s event coordinator, Lane Titus. Chef Matt Voorhees supervised the dinner, and Heather Bailey of Social Bites created both the bride’s and the groom’s cakes. Lilla’s cake was a five-tiered Italian cream cake topped with fresh flowers, while Chris’s cake was a two-tiered strawberries and cream cake in a Star Wars theme. The venue was decorated with floral creations by Lori Golden. The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra of Savannah, Georgia, provided the music and entertainment. To conclude the reception, the orchestra’s horn section led a New Orleans-style second line, and guests blew bubbles to send off the happy couple. Lilla and Chris departed the reception in a vintage Mercedes owned and driven by Kelly Kyle.

Prior to the wedding, many friends and family members celebrated the couple with parties and showers. The bride’s parents hosted an engagement celebration in their home on December 18, 2021. The groom’s parents hosted a “Six-Month Countdown” fiesta at their home on May 26, 2022.

Louisiana Tech University has announced the names of students on its 2022 Fall Quarter President’s and Dean’s honor lists.

Students whose names are followed by an asterisk earned recognition as members of the president’s honor list. That distinction signifies achievement of at least a 3.8 academic grade point average on a minimum of nine semester hours completed (100-level or higher), with no grade lower than a B.

To be eligible for the dean’s honor lists, a student is required to earn at least a 3.5 academic grade point average with no grade lower than a C on a minimum of nine semester hours completed (100-level or higher).

Courses yielding satisfactory/failure grades and courses audited do not count toward eligibility for either recognition. Only undergraduates with no incomplete grades are eligible to make either list.

Honor students are listed below by their hometowns, with all Louisiana students listed first by parish.
