Trivia Time
Abby Someone
by John Shiffert
When in doubt, turn to Mel Brooks. In this
case, his mildly demented, black and white
tribute to horror pictures, “Young
Frankenstein.”
The question was a simple one, whose
brain did Gene Wilder accidentally put into
Peter Boyle? It was supposed to be scien-
tist and saint Hans Delbruck. It wasn’t,
because Marty Feldman (EYE-gore)
dropped Delbruck’s petri dish at the brain
depository, and substituted Abby
Someone’s brain. At least, that’s what Igor
originally thought. Turns out it was an
abnormal brain, which Igor thought
belonged to Abby Normal. However,
Wilder, maybe because the monster had
just tried to strangle him, sort of guessed
what Igor meant.
“Are you saying I put an abnormal brain
into a seven-and-a-half foot long, 54 inch
wide… gorilla!?”
Well, yes.
Now, while Dr. Kurt-Alexander Zeller is a
former Trivia Time champion, this is not
typically his kind of question, since he
tends to stick to more refined pursuits, like
opera. Ahh, but little did you know…
“It probably would be more accurate to say
I was a fan of Madeline Kahn -- who, after
all, started her performance career as an
operatic soprano,” he explained after com-
ing in with the first correct answer. (Kahn,
BTW, played the monster’s love interest in
“Young Frankenstein.”) “Ultimately, she
didn’t have quite the heft for Puccini,
though she did do Musetta in Bohème with
a number of American companies, and
Richard Strauss, but had she only lived a
few generations earlier, she would have
been the Operettendiva of Johann Strauss
Jr.’s and Offenbach’s dreams!”
Now there’s an answer; good for three
Bonus Points as well. Subsequent correct
answers came from Jill Ellington, Lou
Brackett, Brett Reichert and Rob Taylor.
For the final Trivia Time of 2013, we’ll
stick with Brooks, and ask the name of the
character he played and created with Rob
Reiner’s dad, many years before “Young
Frankenstein.”
Shedrick Scores 26 In 72-63 Win Over Carver
by Gid Rowell
Toure Named Daktronics
NCAA Division II All-American
Clayton State men’s soccer player Alhagi
Toure has been named to the 2013
Daktronics NCAA Division II Men’s
Soccer All-American team.
Toure, who was selected to the All-
Southeast Region squad last month,
becomes Clayton State’s seventh men’s
soccer player to receive All-American
honors at the NCAA Division II level
since 2000.
“His dedication and focus paid off, but in
speaking with Al (Toure) this morning, he
wished that he could trade that in to play
in the NCAA Final Four today in
Augusta,” said head coach Pete Petersen.
“He is honored and thankful, but so
indicative of the guy…always thinking
about others. We are all proud for him
and will miss him!”
A senior from Decatur, Ga., Toure led the
Peach Belt in goals scored and in points
during the 2013 regular season with 18
goals and 38 points. He also ranked in the
top-5 in goals scored in the nation and led
the Peach Belt in shots attempted during
the regular season.
He was named the Peach Belt Player of
the Week on two different occasions in the
2012 season. He finished the season with
four multi-goal games and five game-win-
ning goals. His 18 goals on the season
were two goals shy of matching Clayton
State’s single season record of 20 set by
Jason Nidiffer in 1995.
Along with being named first-team All-
Conference team, Toure was named the
Brine Golden Ball Winner for the most
goals scored this year in the PBC.
The Lakers finished the season with a 10-
4-2 overall record and a 5-3-2 mark in
Peach Belt play. The squad tied for fourth
in the conference this season.
Clayton State senior forward Charles
Shedrick scored a career high 26 points
Nov. 25 to lift the Lakers to a 72-63 non-
conference victory over Carver at the
Athletics Center.
With the game tied at 52 apiece with 6:13
remaining, the Lakers outscored Carver
20-11 down the stretch for the win. Senior
guard Craig Wong opened the stretch,
draining two straight 3-pointers to ignite
the run. His second three-pointer gave the
Lakers a 63-57 lead with 3:35 remaining
in the contest.
After both teams swapped baskets over
the next two minutes, Clayton State made
5-of-7 free throws to seal the victory.
“Give Carver a lot of credit, as they came
in and took the fight to us,” said head
coach Paul Harrison. “They have done
that against some other teams in our
league. The main thing is that we won the
game, and we are work in progress. It will
be nice for the guys to have some time off,
and after the holiday, we will come back
and continue to improve. That’s the name
of the game … continual improvement.”
With the win, Clayton State improves to
3-1 on the season, while Carver drops to
2-10. The Lakers will return to action
Wednesday, Dec. 11, hosting Truett-
McConnell in a 7:30 p.m. game at the
Athletics Center.
Shedrick’s 26 points came on 11-of-19
shooting from the field, including 3-of-7
from 3-point range. Wong added 15 points,
making 5-of-10 from the floor and 4-of-7
from 3-point territory. Freshman William
Asplund scored 11 points, making 4-of-5
from the field and pulled five boards.
Morton added 15 points and eight
rebounds, while sophomore guard Kayla
Pryce scored 11 points.
For Fort Valley, Jefferson scored 16
points, followed D’Ambria Thomas with
13 points. Carmenonique Dawson
chipped in 10 points, while Briana
Sheperd had eight points and 11
rebounds.
