Full teams have Eastside runners optimistic

BY JEFF JONES

jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — It’s been a long time since Eastside fielded complete boys and girls cross country teams.

That’s an accomplishment in itself, but coach Ryan Spiess believes there’s much more potential.

“Having two scoring teams for the Eastside cross country program is an honor in itself,” he said. “My first year consisted of two boys and one girl, so this year’s six boys and six girls is a win regardless of performance.

“Knowing who I have on both teams gives me hope that we aren’t just scoring teams,” Spiess said. “I anticipate both boys and girls having success and surprising many other teams in our conference. It’s going to be an exciting season to see what we can do as a team.”

The girls team returns two regional qualifiers in senior Hannah Yoder and sophomore Mary DeWeese. Last year, Yoder set Eastside’s record in 5,000 meters at 22:06.73. DeWeese continued to improve throughout the season, with a best time of 23:28.41 at the NECC meet.

“Hannah has the drive to be successful in anything she sets her mind to, and cross country is on her radar,” Spiess said.

“She’s returning from having a taste of regionals, so she knows what it will take to get back to that level of competition.”

Turning to DeWeese, Spiess said, “Her late-season blossom last year is the new Mary we want to see all year. The bar has been set, and we know Mary can be a leader with her performance.”

Senior Faith Schlie is no slouch either, posting a time of 23:14.36 at the New Haven Invitational, and finished just behind DeWeese at the NECC meet. “(Faith) has the mindset that last year wasn’t good enough, and has goals to advance to regionals, and wants the team to join her,” Spiess said. “Faith is a fantastic team team leader and encourages all around her.”

Senior Ruby Redinger looks to rebound from a slow start. Now healthy and strong, Spiess hopes she can reach her full potential. Redinger’s sister Maggie brings a positive outlook and keeps the team ➤ Cross Country, Page 9

Marching band sees growth, improvement

BY JEFF JONES

jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — With one year together, the Eastside’s Marching Blazer Pride band and director Adam Strong are making strides and are looking to break out this year.

Numbers are up slightly from last season, and the band is further along in preparation for marching season compared to this point a year ago.

“The preparation for this year bears no similarity to last year,” Strong said. “I am delighted to say that band members pushed themselves enough to learn the entire show in our band camp. This is incredible when you consider that we only had one-third of our show prepared at this point last year.

“There are still a vast number of changes and finishing touches to perfect throughout the year, but I cannot be happier with the band’s progress so far,” he added.

The 2016 contest show is entitled “Escape.” It features music arranged

by Strong and Beech Grove native Jon Carney. Individual music includes “The Prophecy: Movement II, The Devastation of War” by Dallas Burke, “A Hymn for the Lost and the Living” by Eric Ewazen, “Run Boy Run” by Yoann Lemoine and “Ecstatic Fanfare” by Steven Bryant.

“Escape depicts the trials and tribulations, as well as the victory of escaping captivity,” Strong explained. “The story is told trough a setting of combat. Each of the musical movements tells a part of the story, that being warfare/capture, mourning, escape and rejoicing.”

Drum majors are senior Madison Yoder, junior Nick Nodine and sophomore Rylie Prough.

“Madison has been a leader both in title and in practice for several years, and has brought her high-level musicianship and dedication into this role head-on, and has

given this group a strong drive,” Strong said.

“Besides taking on a new and challenging role as a leader, Nick has helped out the band by changing instruments from trumpet to baritone,” Strong said. “He is able to be a vocal leader both in his music and in his character.

“Although she is only a sophomore, (Rylie) has shown incredible skill as a leader and shown great knowledge about the band and its various idiosyncrasies,” Strong said. “She is a phenomenal saxophone player and leader on the field.”

There are 32 students in the band — 26 musicians and six color guard members.

There are five seniors, four juniors, 12 sophomores, eight freshmen, an eighthgrade student and two seventh-grade students in the band.

“What’s exciting is this group is a very young group again, yet they are also very talented,” Strong said.

“This group is very young and excited to get better throughout the year, and it shows in the group’s progression,” he added. “Since we have made such remarkable progress, I think that we can use our time more effectively in order to make sure the band is both accurate and consistent.

Once this happens, I believe the story of the show will be able to be conveyed more accurately.

Blazer volleyball team working to improve

BY JEFF JONES

jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Eastside’s volleyball team will be a young one, but three experienced seniors who battled through a tough 3-27 season will be counted upon to lead the way.

Seniors Haley Mansfield, Autumn Graber and Emma Moughler all return from a year ago.

Graber and Moughler were a close 1-2 in kills a year ago. Moughler had 162 kills and Graber finished with 161.

Mansfield will take over as Eastside’s setter. She was second on the team with 211 digs. She led the team with 34 serving aces.

“Haley has played just about everywhere for me,” head coach Jordan Staus said. “Her freshman and sophomore year she was a defensive specialist, last year a right side hitter and her senior year as setter. She has always risen up to the challenge of learning and excelling at a new position.

“With last year’s setter (Mataya Nickolson, 390 assists) being injured and not able to participate, there was an opening for a setter,” Staus explained. “(Haley’s) an amazing kid to coach because she will do anything you ask her because she knows that it’s helping the team work towards accomplishing a goal.”

Moughler returns as a middle blocker, where she had a team-best 41 blocks.

“Emma has improved enormously in hitting and becoming more aggressive at the net,” Staus said. “Not only is she stepping into the leadership role, but I have seen her confidence on the court improve.

Emma is a phenomenal jumper, and we plan to use that to our advantage in the rotation. Her defense and court awareness has improved as well and she will be utilized for her all-around game.”

Graber is back for her third varsity season, and second as an outside hitter.

“Autumn has a strong arm swing and great court sense on where to put the ball,” Staus said. “She has worked hard on improving her passing, defense and serve receive as well. She has also embraced the leadership role, helping guide the freshmen and encouraging them.

“They have been phenomenal role models to the underclassman as far as work ethic and leadership,” Staus said of her seniors. “This year’s team is very young, but they are absorbing the information we tell them and are working on improving their skills. As far as the team as a whole, I hope to improve on every aspect of the game. There is always room for that.”

Junior Julia Baker returns as an outside hitter. She had 95 kills a year ago. She has shown improvement on the defensive side of the ball, Staus noted. Last year, Baker had 170 digs.

After those four, the Blazers are inexperienced when it comes to varsity play.

Sophomore Abbi Kreidt saw limited action. Junior Olivia Yoder and sophomore Shyan McKinley are new to the Blazer team. Sophomore Brynn Phillips played for Eastside’s reserve team. Freshmen Erika Brock and Jessi Gerke could be in the mix as well. ➤ Volleyball, Page 9

Blazers return experience, eye big season

BY JEFF JONES

jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Loads of experience on offense and size on the offensive line are strengths as Eastside’s football team prepares for the 2016 season.

The Blazers, who were champions of the Northeast Corner Conference’s small-school division, finished 7-4 overall a year ago. Two of those losses were to Woodlan, including a tough 14-13 loss to the Warriors in Class 2A sectional play.

Woodlan finished 13-1 and advanced to the semi-state round, losing 14-7 to eventual Class 2A state runner-up Whiting.

“I told our players that we should have learned two things from playing Woodlan in the sectional; One, we can go as far as we can dream and two, we must eliminate mistakes,” said head coach Mike Eshbach, who is 40-45 entering his ninth season at Eastside.

On offense, the Blazers return 10 players who either started or had significant playing time. The offensive line averages 6-feet, 2-inches and 240 pounds.

Offensive line candidates include seniors Brennan Badman (5-11, 235), Jacob Eck (6-0, 240), Shawn Kessler (6-4, 240) and Jacob Thompson (6-5,

Senior Conner Dove returns at quarterback. Another senior, Keezan Jarrard, is back at running back. Juniors Caleb Ballentine, Aaron Dean and Spencer Geyer will hold down wide receiver positions.

Last year’s leading receivers, Tyler Beard and Landen Brow, both graduated.

They accounted for more than 800 yards receiving.

Jarrard led the Blazer rushing attack with 1,531 yards on 194 attempts, an average of just under eight yards per carry. He scored 22 touchdowns.

Dove completed 164 of 241 passes for 1,701 yards and 15 touchdowns. He also ran for 579 yards and 11 scores.

Dove ranks first in career passing yards at Eastside.

On the other side of the ball, the Blazers return several experienced players on the defensive front and in the secondary. The key will be for the linebackers to gain experience and contribute.

Up front, Badman, Kessler and Thompson will play tackle positions, with Steffen and junior McCullough Baysden (5-10, 180) at defensive ends.

Ballentine will play safety, with Dean and senior Zac Kaiser at cornerback positions.

Sophomore Joe White (5-10, 170) and seniors Parker Pringle (5-10, 175) and Dalton Rieke (5-11, 185) will be counted upon at linebacker positions.

Pringle is the Blazers’ leading returning tackler from a year ago, being

part of 72 stops, including six quarterback sacks. Thompson was part of 61 tackles for the Blazers a year ago.

Badman was involved in 56 tackles for Eastside. Rieke was involved in 50 stops.

Dean intercepted a team-leading five passes. Rieke and Thompson each recovered two fumbles.

Daniel Carnahan will be the team’s punter. Emma Moughler, the first girl to lace up the pads in Eastside football history, is slated to kick extra points.

Eastside’s primary goals never change, according to Eshbach: win the first game, win the conference, and win the sectional. The Blazers get another crack at Woodlan when the regular season begins Aug. 19.

“From a pre-season standpoint, I truly believe that our sectional has two good teams that can go a long way,” Eshbach said.

“Since we have never won a sectional, our goal must be to win a sectional championship first, and we will re-evaluate things from there if we are fortunate enough to advance,” he said.

Blazer soccer team aims for improvement

BY JEFF JONES

jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Improved conditioning should lead to better results for Eastside’s soccer team in 2016.

Head coach Sal Gomez said much of the preseason has been devoted to better conditioning and leg strength. Last year’s team was plagued by injuries and finished 1-15 overall, including an 0-8 record in Northeast Corner Conference play.

This year’s players will need to be in good shape — there’s only 14 players on the roster and 11 play at a time — and avoiding injuries is a must if the Blazers are to get where Gomez envisions.

Gomez said his goal is to win at least five games this season. “If we can win more, that’s even better,” he said. To do that, he’ll have to find more scoring. Last year’s team netted just nine goals, and the only returning players who scored last year are senior David Wallace and sophomores Conlan Biddle and Brock Holman.

The Blazer coach feels his players made great strides on the defensive side of the field last year, making it tougher for opponents to find the back of the next.

“Last year, our goal was to eliminate goals against, and we were able to do that,” Gomez said. In 2014, the Blazers surrendered 31 goals in their first two games, but were able to cut that in half last year.

While the team lost 15 games, several of those contests were within a goal or two at halftime, and most losses were closer outcomes than in years past. Three losses were by four goals or less.

“I like what I’m seeing,” Gomez said. “I think we’re a little more prepared. Almost half of them played soccer year-round.

“This season, we’ll be working more on touches and understanding the field they’ll be playing. We’re working on touches so they don’t make too many mistakes.”

Gomez is working especially with

SOCCER SENIORS

B. Biddle

C. Biddle

Holman

Holman, Biddle, sophomore Alejandro Davis and exchange student Matteo Durzu to improve their shooting technique and accuracy.

Holman, a sophomore, will play center midfield with Durzu. Biddle, when he’s not playing in goal, will play center-mid or forward with Wallace.

Outside strikers include sophomore Julius Pineiro and junior Evan Thomas.

Pineiro can play in goal when Biddle is up front.

As it stands now, Davis, juniors Drew Ervin and Grayson Vestergaard and newcomer Elias Martinez could start out at defense. Forwards could be seniors Brennan Biddle and Colin Weingartner, newcomer Maria Razo and exchange student Lukas Schmidt.

Regardless of who starts where, Gomez plans to rotate players to keep everyone as fresh as possible.

“What I like about this group is they get along well,” Gomez said. “They’re having fun, even in workouts.” Gomez’s daughter, Sheena, is working with some of the younger players to get them acclimated to her father’s coaching style and expectations while he works with the more experienced players.

Eastside opened its season Aug. 15 against Lakewood Park. The Blazers host Hamilton Aug. 23. Churubusco is fielding its first varsity soccer team and visits Butler Sept. 1.

Cole Timmerman is a first-year sophomore who has a quiet demeanor, but possesses hidden talent. “If we can tap into his full potential, he will be a strong runner,” Spiess said. “Cole will be a leader by example and the glue that holds the team together during the difficult workouts and trying races with his positive attitude.”

Brothers Braden and Brock Vinson move up from the junior high cross country team. Both put in summer training.

“Braden will be a solid contributor with all workouts and races,” Spiess said. “He knows the sport and what it takes to be successful. He doesn’t give half effort, and he won’t back down from a challenge.

“Brock will be another leader by example,” Spiess said. “He has the ‘yes sir’ mentality and will put in the hard work when asked. He will surprise himself and his teammates by the end of the season.”

Freshmen Gezahagne Biddle, Brandon Ely and Jacob Geyer also have the ability to make their marks.

“Jacob has been running cross country for several years through the junior high

program, and he knows what it takes to be successful,” Spiess said. “His knowledge of the sport and experience will make him a strong leader early in the season.

“Gezahagne had wonderful results last spring in track, and we hope to see it carry over into cross country,” the Blazer coach said. “This young man’s athletic ability encourages all his teammates, and they will be positive in knowing he is leading the charge every workout and race.

“Brandon is going to be a game-changer,” Spiess said. “He has a great, positive mindset and confidence in his ability to run. This confidence will flow throughout the team and help encourage all his teammates to be successful with the season.”

Spiess said team goals are to work hard and find success. The girls are aiming at a team berth at regionals and can do that if they stay healthy, he said.

“As long as we give our best effort, adapt to harsh conditions, and never get down on ourselves, we will have a great season,” Spiess said. “All of my athletes are hard workers and will run any workout given to them.

“They are trusting and trustworthy,” he added. “With their eagerness to participate in all workouts, I know they will develop their skills on the course, and by the end of the season, we all should be happy with the results.”

Marching Band from Page 3 “The goal of band is to educate students with meaningful experiences both inside and outside of the classroom,” Strong said.

“All of the bands offered at Eastside hope to expand their presence in the school and local communities. Beyond this, I would like to further the collaboration among all grade levels of the bands to ensure that they work together to make this program

one community instead of several different or separate bands.”

The band will perform at all home football games, as well as in competitions at Bluffton, DeKalb, East Noble and Homestead. The Indiana State School Music Association regional contest takes place Saturday, Oct. 15 at Chesterton High School.

Eastside’s varsity cheerleaders are shown. In front are Mackenzie Hottes, left, and Kearra Blondeel. In back are Abby Cotton, bottom, Lexis Prough and Dominique Caldwell, bottom. On top are Kristin Brown, left, and Celina Wood.

Volleyball from Page 4 Yoder could fill an opposite hitter role. McKinley and Phillips could contribute as middle blockers. Brock, Gerke and Kreidt will be counted upon to help on defense.

“I can’t brag enough about their work ethic,” Staus said of the team. “I have coached this senior group since they were freshmen, and it has been ingrained into them that working hard at something will pay off whether it be volleyball, school or

later on in their career. They come in daily with the expectation that everyone is there to better themselves and better the team.”

“It’s always a goal to improve on your record from the previous season, as well as going farther in the post-season,” Staus said. “My expectations for the team are to see an improvement from one practice or game to the next. They are ecstatic when they accomplish a goal as an individual and even more as a team.”
