TDS presents the Gadsden County Chamber of Commerce’s 2009 Bass Fishing Tournament Oct. 17 at Lake Talquin. Hundreds of fishing fans and their families are expected to take part in the tournament that helps raise funds for the GadsdenLEARN scholarship program available through Tallahassee Community College.

The Robert F. Munroe Day School golf team finishes up its regular season this week with two matches at The Golf Club of Quincy. 

The team, coached by Kevin Smith, is currently 14-9 on the season and has lost only two district matches. Both were against Big Bend golf powers Wakulla and Maclay. Other losses were to much larger non-district schools Leon and Chiles. The team split with Lincoln.

The team performed especially well in Tallahassee last week at the City Championships, finishing fourth out of 17 teams with a team score of 162 on nine holes.

The lights at Destin Middle School’s football field were bright, indeed, last Friday night as the visiting Robert F. Munroe Day School Bobcats ran and passed their way to a 52-0 victory over the Knights of Rocky Bayou Christian.  The stadium lighting was, no doubt, intensified by the simultaneous glow of the Bobcat light bulbs that all seemed to click on after a rough start to the season.

East Gadsden High School’s Jaguars gave the Chiles Timberwolves a run for their money in a homecoming matchup on the road. In the end, Chiles came out on top, 37-20.

During the first half of play, the Jags showed promise, and the score was tied up at 20-20 at the buzzer.

But in the second half, Chiles scored on three straight drives. The Timberwolves moved the ball 80 yards in 10 plays, and added points to the board, making the  score 3-20.
