The Lady Devils conclude
their first half of the season
with three games. this week.
Two of the games were re-
scheduled and could be a
stumbling block. Among the
games are district and cross-
county rival Chiefland.

The Lady Devils have been
something of a surprise win-

ning their first five games and

starting the season off with
a 6-1 record. Their defense
and rebounding under first
year coach Jason Odom has
been vastly improved and the
strength of the team.

It will be counted on even
more as Williston heads
down the final stretch off
their season. However, they
have accomplished the goal
of getting of to a good start
with both their overall and
district records.

They will be tested by P.K.
Yonge and the rest of the dis-
trict when they meet them for
the second time.

“Of course we would have
liked:to be 3-0 in the district,
but the loss to Newberry is
something that we can use,”
Odom said. “It will give
them a great deal of experi-
ence heading into the second
half of the season. They real-
ize they can be beaten if they
don’t play up to their poten-
tial.”

“We have yet to put togeth-
er a complete game, but they
learned this week we have to
fight for every point on every
possession in most games.
It was important we. won,
despite not playing our best
game and for them to come
and get a win after Newberry,
it is big in regaining momen-

Goethe site for holiday rides

Levy County’s Goethe State Forest is host
to a variety of equestrian events throughout
the year and is the ideal location for endur-
ance rides. As part of the Goethe Forest En-
durance Series, two such endurance rides are
scheduled during this holiday season.

On Dec. 16, the Goethe Benefit ‘Chal-
lenge will commence. This AERC, SEDRA
and SERA sanctioned 25/50/100 ride travels
mostly sandy and grassy terrain with some
gravel. Water stops will be available along
the trails. Profits from this ride help support
Goethe State Forest’s shared trail system.

Vet checks, performed by Dr. Doug Shear-
er, are scheduled for 1 p.m. on Friday, Dec.
15. Camp can be set up at the “46”, the pri-
vately owned property of Dr. Anne Christo-
pherson. Riders are recommended to bring
corrals and electric pens, and water spigots
are available for use. There will be a grounds
fee for each horse. Camp is on 46 acres in
Steeple Chase off County Road 326, Partici-

Southeastern Levy County is home to the
main portion of this state forest, which cov-
ers more than 53,000 acres. Goethe State
Forest includes a variety of natural habitats,
including old-growth longleaf pines, scrubby
flatwoods, cypress swamps and sand hills. In
Levy County, horseback riders find excellent
trail riding opportunities at Goethe State For-
est year round and access is available at three
different trailheads: Tidewater, Apex and
Black Prong. Both the Tidewater and Black
Prong trails are included in the Division of

riders are rewarded with patches and cer-
tificates after riding a number of designated
trails.
