Trojans offer Giles … the Troy Trojans
Gaither running back Jarvis Giles has picked up scholarship offers No. 13 and 14. The latest teams to get into the mix? Troy and North Carolina. Because Giles, a 5-foot-11, 178-pound running back, already has offers from schools such as Florida and Florida State, this might not seem all that significant. But at the Times, it is. You see, two members of our staff are proud Troy alums -- high school sports editor Traci Johnson and staff writer Joey Knight. If by chance Giles makes a visit to Troy, Johnson suggests he check out the following eateries: Half-Shell, which also is a good place to catch a game, and either Mossy Grove (a converted 1850s schoolhouse) or Sisters' Restaurant, both of which are known for their fantastic Southern Cooking.

If Jarvis goes to Troy, would be be able to do the Trojan commercials?
Kush, Blair, and Luigi could help!!

Traci was terribly remiss in omitting Crowe's, a Popeye's-type chicken establishment with the best tenders (and honey-mustard sauce) on the planet. Dip some of their fried okra in the sauce, and you approach nirvana.
