Kasey Hill efficient in Florida’s opening-night win

JACKSONVILLE — In the midst of a 13-0 run during Friday night’s game between Florida and Florida Gulf Coast, UF point guard Kasey Hill snagged an errant pass from Eagles guard Zach Johnson. With Johnson breathing down his neck, the 6-foot-1 Hill raced down the court for the fast-break opportunity, exploded into the air and jammed it over the defender’s outstretched arms, giving the Gators a 60-50 lead.

Enjoying birthdays: a reflection on getting older but not losing enthusiasm

When it comes to birthdays, people usually fall into one of two categories: apathetic and not really considering it to be a big deal, or incredibly enthusiastic to the point of being obnoxious. For some reason, even though I am often a person who shies away from the spotlight and prefers the corner of a room to the center of the party, I’ve always fallen in the latter category. I never had a big Sweet 16 or a car waiting in the driveway for me, but from first grade to my senior year of high school, I always had some sort of birthday party and really put my heart into making it a fun time — not just for myself, but for my friends.
