Pretty much what a fan would expect to see from the No. 1, Class 1A team in the state. That’s why Chiefland coach Jim O’Neal could be heard several times in the early going yelling, ‘We’re not even supposed to be on the same field with these guys!’

It was an overcast afternoon last Monday as the Levy County Cross Country Race got underway in Williston. A few sprinkles of rain fell as the race began.

Team members from Levy County schools—boys and girls from high schools and middle schools—lined up for the start of the race. Participants were from Bronson, Cedar Key, Chiefland High School and Chiefland Middle School, Williston and Yankeetown. 

The competitors exploded from the starting line as the gun went off.

Cattleman Don Quincey, of Chiefland, center, was honored recently with the University of Florida's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Award of Distinction. Quincey was recognized for his support of the University's research and extension services related to pastures and
cattle.
Quincey, the owner of Quincey Cattle Company, is president of the Florida Cattleman's Association. He also serves as chairman of the Suwannee River Water Management District.
