I taught freshman composition in the morning at Central Florida Community College in Chiefland then attended middle school in Bronson Tuesday afternoon. And I was schooled.

I know that sounds strange. But it’s the truth.

I went back to middle school because my 10-year-old son, Taylor, who is in fifth grade spent 40 minutes talking to me the night before about a presentation on nicotine that he had seen by a “real scientist,” Dr. Victor DeNoble.

Nerl Abraham Cano Cifuentes, 28, of Morriston, charged with burglary and grand theft. Bail is $10,000.

James Robert Blacketer, 38, of Old Town, charged with keeping a gambling house and possession of coin-operated device on a warrant from Marion County. Bail is $2,500.

Early in the season, the Lady Red Devils volleyball team dropped a thriller at Ft. White that went five games to get a winner.

Tuesday night at the Red Devil gym, the Red Devils returned the favor in four games, as they downed the Lady Indians 27-25, 25-22, 25-17, and came from behind to take the match 25-19 in game four.

The Red Devils took a quick two-game lead but had trouble getting their serves in the thirty foot square in game three, sending them into the net or past the end line out of bounds.

With over four minutes remaining in the first quarter, the Williston Red Devils had shown their might as they took a quick 27-0 lead over Umatilla Bulldogs.

The Red Devils then inserted their second and third string players along with freshman quarterback Austin Chipoletti.

The Red Devil non starters played the entire second quarter and Chipoletti completed three straight passes on the last drive of the first half, hitting Kalen Penny for a touchdown. Chipoletti connected with Larry Debose for a two point conversion as the Red Devils held a 35-0 half time lead.
