Former Augusta high school rivals and current Tennessee Titans teammates Ben Troupe and Brandon Lynch, along with Jacksonville Jaguars safety Deon Grant, will appear tonight at the White Linen Party at 9 at the Marbury Center, 1257 Broad St.

Troupe, a standout tight end at Butler High School and the University of Florida, was the first draft pick by the Titans, 40th overall.

Lynch, a strong safety from Hephzibah High and Middle Tennessee State, signed with the Titans as a rookie free agent.

Grant, who won a state championship at Josey High, started three seasons for the Carolina Panthers and played in last season's Super Bowl.

The players are honored guests at the White Dinner, which raises money for the Knowledge is Key Foundation - a mentoring program for inner city young men.

On Saturday, Grant, Troupe and Lynch will be speaking with youngsters and signing autographs at 10:30 a.m. at Omni Health and Fitness, 3637 Walton Way Extended.

Tickets are $15 at the door.

Golf

Michael Green, who won the Georgia Junior Championship by five shots in June, plans to play his collegiate golf at the University of Georgia.

Green, a rising senior at Richmond Academy, announced his verbal commitment recently. This week, former Georgia Junior Championship winner Brian Harman of Savannah, Ga., announced that he, too, would play for Georgia, where Augusta native Jim Douglas is the assistant coach.

Today through Saturday, Green is competing in the Georgia-South Carolina Junior Challenge Match at Sea Island Golf Club in St. Simons Island, Ga. Green is joined by fellow Augustans Rob Bennett and Ryan Blackburn on the eight-man Georgia team. Allen Koon of Bamberg, S.C., is a member of the South Carolina team, which has won the past two meetings but trails the series 17-11.

The 18-hole stroke play tournament, which is sponsored by the Knights of Columbus, is open to boys and girls ages 8-17. Entry fee of $5 includes lunch.

Golfers can sign up at Forest Hills or send their name and entry fee to Mickie Gallagher Junior, 2342 McDowell St., Augusta, Ga., 30904, or call 738-4367.

Luke Tambon of Savannah, Ga., is first-year Augusta State coach Dip Metress' seventh signee for the 2004-05 season.

Tambon, a 6-foot-7, 215-pound forward, averaged 11 points and seven rebounds last season for Savannah High.

"We are satisfied that coach Huggins has taken appropriate steps while under suspension," athletic director Bob Goin said at a news conference Thursday.
