Throwback Thursday
Thursday, January 8th, 2015Sophomore Surprise
Wednesday, January 7th, 2015
Nottingham High School point guard Malik Zachery is on the rise this season. He finished with 19 points yesterday in a win over Corcoran.
During yesterday’s 72-67 win over Nottingham Sophomores Malik Zachery and Jevon Jones made the difference (despite a monster game by Corcoran Jr. Marquis Gilbert). Zachery, who handles the ball like Steph Curry and has a first step like Tommy Gunn, darted through the Corcoran defense with ease and Jones proved to be a big-time finisher, especially in the second half.
The future looks bright for the Coach Jones’s team this season.
Jevon Jones makes his way to the hoop during a 3rd quarter rally yesterday.

Calling all comics
Friday, January 2nd, 2015
Big M: Comedy vet and Syracuse-native Moody McCarthy provided some comic relief for New Year’s Day at Justin’s Tuscan Grill.
We figure it’s not a matter if Syracuse should host a comedy festival, but when. With the plethora of ‘Cuse-bred comics and the draw of Funny Bone at Destiny USA, this town is primed for a few days of non-stop laughs (especially during the winter months). If we can have a film festival and TED conference surely we can kick-off a comprehensive comedy program.
In the meantime, special shout-out to Dan Frigolette and Moody McCarthy for coming home each year to do shows. Last night they did an intimate, one-night-only comedy cabaret at Justin’s Grill. This year they brought Nick Marra with them (a few years ago it was Jessimae Peluso).
Throwback Thursday-Selma, Syracuse & Civil Rights
Thursday, January 1st, 2015
Talk-show host George Kilpatrick interviewed Diane Nash at last year’s Cold Case Justice Initiative. Nash is portrayed in the new film by actor Tessa Thompson.
The film “Selma” came out last week (in select cities) and several of the key Civil Right’s leaders active during that march have appeared in Syracuse over the past few years. The roles of Dr. Martin Luther King and his wife Coretta are played brilliantly by David Oyelowo and Carmen Ejogo, but we were also impressed by the supporting cast.
Rev. C.T. Vivian was played in the film by actor Corey Reynolds.
In the film Selma, former ambassador Andrew Young was played by Andre’ Holland. Young spoke at an event at Syracuse University in 2012.
