PLAYER OF THE GAME Jeff Garcia took a beating Sunday. He was sacked six times and he lost two fumbles, including one that helped the Lions build their 17-point first-quarter lead. Without Garcia, though, the Bucs probably don't beat back the Lions and win this game. Though he admits he was sloppy at times, there were also times when Garcia was as precise as a hand-crafted timepiece. He finished the game with a 137.5 passer rating that was largely a result of the fact he completed 13 of 18 passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns and was not picked off. His biggest plays came in the second quarter, when he solved the Bucs' red zone problems by making sure they scored before they got there.

SEBRING –– There's nothing like being in the heat of competition on the golf course, especially when its in your back yard. Six ladies from the Highlands County (Jessica Williams, Melissa Doorlag, Gail Brown, Nela Hodge and Nan Reno all from Sebring and Jacqueline Hartzell of Lake Placid) competed in the 53rd annual Harder Hall Women's Invitational, which ended on Sunday. The history and the level of talent at the prestigious event has drawn the local girls to the event year after year. "This is my third year in the event," Williams said. "I sometimes am a fan on the course watching some of these ladies play. I always pick up little tricks when I'm out there I can use in my own game." Williams, along with Doorlag , has been playing with the championship flighted competition, while Brown, Hodge, Reno and Hartzell have been teeing it up in the Ben Roman division. ...more
