OPINION

COLIN VAUGHAN | NW MISSOURIAN

OUR VIEW:

Royals frenzy engulfs community, campus It’s almost impossible to escape it. Whether you’re walking through campus, sitting in class or having a drink at The Palms, the excitement is everywhere. “Royals Fever” is contagious in Maryville and everyone is catching it, from lifelong Royals fans to students who couldn’t tell you what an RBI is.

While covering how Northwest students and Maryville citizens are reacting to the Royals’ incredible run, we here at the Missourian heard several interesting tales of Royals fandom. Many wanted to share the moment they became Royals fans.

Others reluctantly shared their feel-

ings durings the team’s several 100loss seasons since their last World Series win in 1985. However, most seemed to be happy just talking about the Royals with a smile on their face this October.

That’s what’s most surprising about this Royals run. In some respect, it’s bringing everyone together. Our professors are beginning their lectures by rehashing the previous night’s game. Students at the Bo Burnham performance last week were cheering more for the Royals than the comedian before the show.

At the very least, people now have a guaranteed conversation starter with

strangers at the bar.

Even more remarkable is how farreaching the fervor about our local professional baseball team is. Before this year, most people in Maryville were largely uninterested in the Royals even though we are less than two hours from Kauffman Stadium. Any conversation about them likely ended soon after it started. Most would just shrug and utter the ever-familiar phrase: “I guess there’s always next year.” Nowadays, it’s difficult to get anyone to stop talking about the Royals.

However, the massive increase in Royals fans as of late does draw ire

from some ride-or-die fans. It’s undoubtedly true that many fair-weather Royals fans have proudly dusted off their Royals jersey in the last month, boasting about their fan credentials.

It’s natural that the Royals fan who’s been with the team through every miserable season would cringe hearing someone’s obvious lie about their dedication to the team. Still, true fans should just be happy that their beloved Royals are getting the attention they deserve.

Truthfully, we here at the Missourian are still surprised we’re even writing about the Royals. Our Opinion Editor, who couldn’t tell you a

player on the team three weeks ago, never believed the Royals would make it to the playoffs, let alone the Fall Classic. Now, he’s scrounging whatever blue clothes he has in his closet to wear on game day.

Win or lose, the Royals’ trip to the World Series is astounding in and of itself. It’s given everyone in Maryville an underdog to cheer for. It’s given students stressing out about classes and work something to look forward to. We can only hope the Royals can seal the deal against the Giants. That way, these good feelings can continue for months to come.

Letter to the editor:

Local teacher urges voters to reject Amendment 3 MEGAN FRUEH Teacher at Nodaway-Holt

In my fourth grade classroom, we have a quote by Thomas Edison posted on the back wall that reads, “I haven’t failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” While this might sound like a strange motto for a nine year old, it seems to ring true. Failure is a given within my classroom walls. I know this and so do my students. Without failure we can’t learn from our mistakes.

Without failure, people tend to give up when the going gets tough.

Coming up on the Nov. 4 ballot is Amendment 3, which focuses on education and teachers. A portion of Amendment 3 requires “teachers to be dismissed, retained, demoted, promoted and paid primarily using quantifiable student performance data as part of the evaluation system”.

Amendment 3 would hold teachers directly accountable for their stu-

Do you really want to see teachers’ promotions, demotions and dismissals based primarily on ‘quantifiable student performance?’

dents’ performance on state tests; it doesn’t allow for failure. If a students were to perform badly on state assessments, teachers old and new could find themselves without jobs, regardless of what their district’s administration thinks.

Do you really want to see teachers promotions, demotions and dismissals based primarily on “quantifiable student performance”? Had

Amendment 3 passed in the 1850’s, Thomas Edison’s teacher would have surely found herself without a job.

Young Edison has been described as a hyperactive child, prone to distractions and considered “difficult” by his teacher.

Educators of the twenty-first century have seen many children just like Edison, yet we continue to educate. Having a single test determine a teacher’s merit is not logical, nor is it valuable to local school districts. Should Amendment 3 pass in November, local districts will be spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to create tests for classes which currently don’t have an assessment. Local administration will lose their voice when it comes to teachers contracts. Most importantly, local students will be viewed as numbers on a page instead of amazing, creative minds.

I hope you will join me in voting NO on Amendment 3.

When the common stereotype that “Greeks are drunks” was mentioned, Yaks were being posted about people being so hungover at BANG. As a Greek member, it is a slap in the face to think that some of us could be so dumb. Don’t let yourself be fooled into thinking that you are un-trackable in these posts. According to an article in The Washington Post titled “How do you solve a problem like Yik Yak?,” disciplinary action

is being taken against students who use the app irresponsibly. Students have been charged with felonies, universities have had to close campus for credible threats and Yik Yak has had to suspend operations in certain areas because the abuse taking place, via this app, was so severe.

Although this app doesn’t ask for personal information upon sign up, the police can still find out the phone number from which the post was made. So, for all you cowards out there posting behind your assumed anonymity, don’t be so confident; we all know you’re gutless.

I Googled “What is the purpose of Yik Yak,” and the first thing that appeared was a link to urbandictionary. com that defined it as “A mobile app college kids use to anonymously talk shit and post witty things to people nearby.” To top it off, the example was “Some frat bro is talking mad shit on Yik Yak.” As a Greek, reading this felt like nails on a chalkboard.

VOTER PARTICIPATION BY NORTHWEST STUDENTS CAN HELP REFORM OUR POLITICAL PROCESS “ In a very real sense, the need for Project Vote Smart was born in the 1787 Constitutional Convention. Unbridled power, “factions” that might deform their visions, and an informed people were our Founding Fathers’ paramount concerns.

Had they also been able to witness the great fortune of their design, they would be pleased.

However, had they also been able to witness the ability of “factions” to torture truth, influence the structure and purpose of their creation by effectively frustrating the peoples’ ability to be informed, they clearly would have created (something like Vote Smart).”

--from Richard Kimball, Project Vote Smart’s History, votesmart.org.

“Ordinary Americans have less and less trust in government…We live in an age of extreme and vitriolic partisanship … the “base” of each party is so hostile to the other that efforts at cooperation are crippled at every turn.

This leads to the failure of common projects, which further inflames the extremists and discredits the moderates…

Younger voters get turned off and tune out.

No one is appealing to their natural idealism; no one is offering a plan to make their word better…

If America choses the right future, it will be because we learn how to cooperate politically and embrace a positive vision of what our nation can become.”

--from Peter G. Peterson, Running on Empty (2004)

Project Vote Smart Project Vote Smart is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization maintaining neutrality from political groups, causes and corporations. Its history is intriguing. It developed from discussions between the late Senator Barry Goldwater (R-Az) and Richard Kimball, the Democrat who ran unsuccessfully for his former Senate seat. They were joined as founders by former Presidents Ford and Carter, along with forty other national leaders in equal numbers from both parties (including Senator John McCain (R-Az) who defeated Kimball).

The website for Project Vote Smart -- www.votesmart.org-- features information on candidates’ stances on issues, their backgrounds, their key votes, the identity of their top campaign contributors, and their ratings by special interest groups. A small staff and many volunteers nationwide do the research and keep the website updated. Vote Smart is widely praised as the best source for voter information.

The 2014 Political Courage Test Each election season Vote Smart asks candidates to submit responses to its Political Courage Test. That test is the result of a collaborative effort between Vote Smart and political scientists, journalists, and other experts from across the political spectrum. It is designed to enable citizens to learn about candidates’ positions on a variety of relevant issues.

My responses to the 2014 Political Courage Test have been submitted to Vote Smart. Those responses should soon be available online at the Vote Smart website, and will also be available on the website www.modldem.com. I have encouraged the Republican candidate, Allen Andrews, to join me in completing the 2014 Political Courage Test, but as yet I have been unable to determine if he has also submitted his responses.

Unfortunately the efforts of Vote Smart to better inform voters has been undermined by professional political operatives.

They advise their clients not to participate, and then, to mislead voters, distort the responses of opposing candidates who do so. As a result participation by candidates has declined. In 2000, 38 percent of Missouri legislative candidates completed the Political Courage Test; six years later the participation rate was half that, nearly all Democratic candidates.

Reforming Politics and Parties The efforts of Vote Smart and other organizations to better inform the voters notwithstanding, it is not only cynical political operatives and their unprincipled clients who distort our political process. It is the structure of the system itself, with gerrymandering (the practice of drawing electoral maps in a way that favors one party) that entrenches extremism, and the money of special interest groups that likewise entrenches their power.

Republicans refined the practice of gerrymandering in 2011, a year after they won control of many state governments preparing to redraw electoral districts based on the 2010 census. As a result, states send more Republicans to Congress than their presidential voting patterns suggest. In Ohio, for instance, Republicans control its House delegation 12-4; in Pennsylvania, it is 13 to five, and in Missouri, six to two. And so Republicans hold a solid House majority even though Americans cast 1.4 million votes more for Democratic House candidates than for GOP House candidates in 2012. The same pattern follows in state legislative districts.

The fiction that unlimited political spending is but the exercise of free speech is demolished by John Micklethwait & Adrian Woolridge, editors of The Economist, in their recent book, The Fourth Revolution: It is all very good defending this political expenditure as a constitutionally protected exercise in free speech. But it creates the impression that American democracy is for sale; that the rich have more power than the poor; that favors are being exchanged and deals being done. No matter how often American politicians and donors insist that nothing is being traded, any study of human psychology …suggests that “gifts” create obligations and expectations on both sides.

Pete Peterson, a former Secretary of Commerce in the Nixon administration, recommended the following reforms to our political system in his 2004 book: the gerrymandering of house and legislative districts should be ended by adopting the “Iowa Plan” (where neutral mapmaking rules generate new districts automatically); the campaign funding imbalance should be neutralized by having broadcasters donate airtime to bonafide candidates (after all, they control billions of dollars of air rights provided free by the public), and young people should be better educated about fiscal realities and about their civic rights and responsibilities.

SARAH BANDY | NW MISSOURIAN

MIDDLE: Sophomore Katie Hummel gives a thumbs up for the Royals.

BOTTOM: Mark and Stacey Allen smile for the camera while in their Royals gear.

die-hard fan can tell you that Mike Sweeney had a .333 batting average in 2000 or that Ken Harvey was an all-star.

The casual fan can tell you that the Royals are a good team. The nonbaseball fan, who suddenly loves the Royals, can tell you something special is happening.

As weird as it may sound, the American League Champion Kansas City Royals is bringing die-hard and casual fans together. The same team that has had a winning record only three times since the 1994 lockout has rejuvenated an entire city and a fan base.

“Other than my family, the Royals have been the one constant thing in my life over the years,” Northwest assistant men’s basketball coach Austin Meyer said. “I remember listening to (Royals broadcaster) Denny Matthews before bed in elementary school every night in the spring and watching every television game back in the day.”

Over the past 29 years, hope and promises of a better season were all Royals fans could cling to. For some, they aren’t only fans of baseball, they are players. Former Northwest baseball player Luke Lawyer falls into that category and has always loved the game.

“I have always been a fan, it is really cool to see everyone excited. I am from Kansas City,” Lawyer said.

“It’s amazing to see the city the way it is. The team is young and strong and they never quit, the fans are supportive when they don’t. There is something special about this team.”

At the end of May, the Royals sat at 26-29 and frustration began to boil for fans. Fast-forward a few weeks and the team finds itself in the midst of a ten game winning streak.

But this feeling of dominance dwindled away when the Royals headed into the second half of the season. Although the team was two games above .500, the American League Central seemed out of reach.

With thoughts of winning the division fading, the Royals destroyed the negative thoughts by becoming one of the most dominant teams in baseball during the months of August and September.

With the up-and-down rollercoaster ride the team experienced, the fan base underwent a ballet of emotions.

Most Northwest students were not born when the Royals made the World Series in 1985 . However, they have witnessed four 100-loss seasons. Senior Sarah Fuson reflected on experiencing the good and bad.

“They are the team I grew up watching, so seeing how far they have come and being able to enjoy that experience with them is amazing,” Fuson said.

The Royals have been nothing but an after thought in years past by the middle of August. Before now, when turning on the radio, watching television or grabbing the latest newspaper, the talk has been the Kansas City Chiefs and how great the football season is. The Royals have taken back the spotlight these last two months.

The second trip to the World Series in franchise history gives older fans an opportunity to rekindle memories. In 1985, Kansas City won the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Nodaway County Prosecuting Attorney Robert Rice was a boy when he watched the Royals win the club’s only championship.

“I was eight years old back in 1985. So I am more than doubly excited. This is a fantastic time.

Fantastic to see all the excitement around with everyone wearing Royals gear,” Rice said. “It is kind of cool to wear the Royals gear.

It is fun to see all the college kids wearing Royals hats in October, which never happens.”

There is an argument that people’s attitudes can be swayed

by how their favorite sports team does. This year isn’t just about the Royals winning; it’s about the effect the team has had on the patrons of Kansas City.

Northwest alumnus Bryan Clark never thought he would see the day the Royals made the postseason.

“They have been bad my entire life, but I’ve always had the thought that they’ll get there someday. You have to have thoughts like this to stay a fan,” Clark said. “For this run to happen this quickly though has been amazing.”

Die-hard fans can remember back to 2006 and the promises newly-hired General Manager Dayton Moore made. The production the fans thought they would see from this team did not come as quickly as originally thought.

But over the past two seasons, the glimmer of hope has erupted into a feeling of rejoicing for fans and players alike.

“The last two seasons I have been to roughly 50 games, and I live 90 minutes away,” Meyer said. “I enjoy being a fan because you get that euphoria of winning as compared to coaching where winning is just a relief. The biggest thing with this seasons run is how weird it is. I must say it has been worth the wait, and I am really enjoying the ride.”

It doesn’t matter if you are a diehard Royals fan, a bandwagon fan, or just a casual baseball fan – this team has sparked a new feeling into not only the city and fans, but also the entire country.

This is not the New York Yankees, the Los Angeles Dodgers, or the Boston Red Sox. This is a team that was built around homegrown talent and patience.

If you haven’t noticed yet, “Royals Fever” has hit the city, the state, the area, and the country.

“I think calling it a crazy ride is an understatement,” Clark said.

“The nerves during the final innings and the excitement there is in great plays, and the final out of an inning or game has been amazing. Truthfully, it’s hard to explain how crazy it has been.”

EXTRA POINT OGLESBY

CONTINUED FROM A12 “It’s exciting,” Trey Oglesby’s father, Terry Oglesby said. “He’s still learning, but it’s very exciting.”

Terry Oglesby is a former Spoofhounds quarterback and will tell you who the better quarterback is though.

“He’s a better quarterback than I was,” Terry Oglesby said, laughing.

“I could give him a few small tips but he’s a better quarterback than I ever was.”

Trey Oglesby has been referred and compared to his father’s days as the quarterback a couple times. All in all, it is just a friendly family competition.

“I get the guys that watched my dad play,” Trey Oglesby said. “They give me smack on how I got to fill those shoes and stuff … just a fun little competition.”

It is one thing to have a young quarterback start for any team, but for the Spoofhounds is another. Head coach Matt Webb broke it down how over the summer he knew Trey Oglesby was the guy for the job.

“Trey is a good example of the quarterback we look for in our offense,” Webb said. “He can manage the offense ... get the ball down field.

Second; when your number is called as a quarterback ,you got to be able to make the play … Third and final thing is to be mentally and physically tough, and Trey fits that. The game is never too big for him … he doesn’t get rattled.”

Webb has watched him get more comfortable as the starter as the season goes along. Webb speaks about how he observed Trey’s progression as the season continued.

Thursday | October 23, 2014

nwmissourinews.com “I see him being more confident in his throws from a pre-snap read,” Webb said. “He sees where the safety is lined up and knows where he’s throwing the football before he snaps it and is making better decisions and not forcing balls.”

Trey Oglesby’s little brother, Tate Oglesby, was quarterback for the seventh grade football team this year. He even wore No. 14, like his older brother. Trey Oglesby’s older brother, Tyler Oglesby, also played for the Spoofhounds. Unlike his little brothers and his father, Tyler Oglesby played running back. He is now one of Webb’s assistant coaches on the Maryville staff.

“It is a great situation,” Tyler Oglesby said. “I’m kind of thankful I don’t coach him (Trey). It’s one of those deals where he does his thing and I coach my group. I’m more about his personality and how he carries himself; I couldn’t teach him anything about being a quarterback that he doesn’t already know.”

Tyler Oglesby became the running backs coach this year for the Hounds. Despite the fact he was not a quarterback in high school, Trey Oglesby has looked up to his older brother and is a great motivation to him.

“He’s always been there. He’s a guy I really look up to,” Trey Oglesby said. “He’s a big part of what I do on and off the football field.”

With all the alumni and current athletes, the Spoofhounds are a big deal to the Oglesby family..

“It’s a very huge deal,” Terry Oglesby said. “It’s fun to coach them when they are young and then watch them move up.”

Sophomore running back Phil Jackson II attempts a stiff-arm against Pittsburg State, Oct. 18 on homecoming. The Gorillas knocked off the Bearcats 35-17.

CONTINUED FROM A12 “They’re playing a one-high safety,” Dorrel said. “They’re daring you to try to get vertical routes on them because their free safety is very talented. I think he’s one of the best in the league.

“And then they’re playing seven defensive linemen right now that most of those seven kids are two- or three-year starters.”

The Fort Hays offense has been less impressive, ranking in the bottom four among the major categories.

The Tigers average just more than 19 points per game.

Dorrel says Fort Hays has knocked off teams like Pittsburg State and Emporia State through its depth and experience.

“Fort Hays State is a really good football team,” Dorrel said. “ … If you look across their roster – offense, defense, special teams – they have a lot of kids that have played a lot of MIAA games.

“Obviously they’ve beat Pitt this year and they’ve won some big games. They usually play pretty well at home, too.”

The Bearcats had trouble moving the ball and were put in a plehtora of third and long situations against the Gorillas last week. As a result, the team went 5-16 on third downs and put up a season-low 17 points.

Dorrel says his team will have a hard time getting by without improving its execution.

“If you get into obvious situations where you have to throw the football, I think they’re really good,” Dor-

rel said. “If you get into obvious run formations, run situations, and they know you’re going to run the football, they’re really good.

“They play eight guys at the line of scrimmage within five yards of the center. They pack the box. They’re always trying to outnumber you in there. Their philosophy is they are literally daring you to throw the football, because they feel that strongly about their corners and safeties.”

After spending its first six weeks of the season as the No. 1 team in the nation, Northwest now has to climb its way back to the top, as they sit at No. 10 this week.

“I think I know what we’ll see from them,” Dorrel said. “ … We need to change a little bit. We need to have a greater sense of urgency. We need to have a better attention to detail.

Those are things we’ve talked about.

Those are things we’ve talked a little bit about throughout the year. But hopefully it’s something that will really resonate with them.”

While Fort Hays has pulled off some upsets this season, most of its games have been fairly close. That includes a loss to a 2-5 Washburn team.

Smith talks about how to approach a team when you do not know what you are going to get from them on a week to week basis.

“We got to prepare for them like its a playoff game right now,” Smith said. “Because that’s essentially what it is. Like I said, if we lose another game, we’re out of the playoffs. So, it’s almost sudden death, if you lose you’re done. You got to prepare for them like they’re the Kansas City Chiefs.”

SPOOFHOUNDS SPORTS

Football hosts struggling East High School AUSTIN HEINEN Chief Sports Reporter | @HEINOHeinen

Playoffs football has returned to Maryville. The Spoofhounds take on East High School (1-8) in the Hound Pound after securing home field advantage for the third straight year.

This is a familiar situation for the Spoofhounds, as they took on the Bears in 2013 in the first round of districts, defeating them 85-14.

Maryville is excited not only for the playoffs to begin but also to finally have home field advantage for the whole postseason.

“Home field advantage is something you always want going into the tournament,” head coach Matt Webb said. “The number one seed is something you play for through the regular season to give yourself the best opportunity in the postseason.”

East Kansas City averages 17 points per game and has given up an average of 38 points per game. To put it lightly, it has been a rough year for the Bears.

From here on out, it is win or go home for the Hounds, and Webb knows you need to play your best each week. If you do not and you are a senior, you may end up playing your last game.

“Any time you enter tournament

play, you want to make sure you are playing your best,” Webb said. “Our main goal is to focus on East, get a win, and move on to the next one. We are not looking past anyone.”

One game at a time has been the mindset for the Hounds since day one. The Hounds enter the playoffs scoring an average of 54 points per game while giving up an average of 16 points. Senior leadership is a leading factor.

“You always have to have leaders,” senior running back Brody McMahon said. “We always make sure everyone is on the same page.”

Senior Jacob Cacek and the offensive linemen are also behind the Spoofhounds’ achievements. The allstate lineman knows as long as the line does their part, the running backs will get results.

“If we give anything to them they are going to get us yards,” Cacek said. “We have great running backs, great quarterbacks, it’s just about working together.”

Running backs coach Tyler Oglesby has had plenty of talent this year. Tyler Oglesby speaks on the running backs success this season.

“It makes my job very easy, Oglesby said. “They’ve been around, they know the system ... they make great plays and they make big plays.”

*Maryville carries home field advantage throughout playoffs.

It is just beginning to heat up for the Hounds, but no one is more proud than Webb. He spoke about his seniors after the Lafayette game Friday.

“They epitomize what a great teammate is and that’s something

we talked about earlier,” Webb said.

“Those guys are friends, they even call themselves brothers and they act like it on and off the field. They pick each other up when they are down, they are a fun group to be around, and

they have a lot of fun playing football and just being high school seniors and the leadership they’ve given this season is phenomenal.”

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Hound Pound.

Senior safety for the football team added three interceptions and a fumble recovery to his stat sheet against Pitt State last Saturday. Fox won the annual homecoming Don Black Award.

Junior outside hitter for the volleyball team tallied up a total of 22 kills, three blocks and one ace against Washburn and Emporia State last weekend. The Bearcats dropped both matches.

After hitting a low point in the middle of the 2014 season, the Maryville High School boys soccer team returned to form during a crucial time in its schedule. Over the last two weeks the Spoofhounds have been on a tear, winning five of their last seven games.

With wins against Lafayette and Savannah, the team is back to playing Spoofhounds soccer, said Maryville head coach Stuart Collins.

“We have played with more consistency these last two weeks of the season,” Collins said. “We haven’t dominated teams that we have been playing; we are going back to where we need to be.”

The key to the Spoofhounds’ success has been the team’s captain, senior midfielder Mitch Worthington. Worthington led the way for the Spoofhounds in Monday’s thrilling penalty kick victory against Savannah.

The senior scored his 11th and 12th goals on the season, and added a third in the penalty kick round securing the win for the Spoofhounds. Junior mid-

fielder Dimitri Filopoulos and senior defender Danner Jacobsen also scored for the Spoofhounds in the penaltykick shootout.

Worthington scored in the 67th minute and 69th minute, respectfully.

“He has played very well when we needed him,” Collins said of Worthington. “He has created some positive moments for us this season.”

Junior midfielder Zach Brod thinks Worthington is creating more opportunities for his teammates this season.

“He has played really well this season,” Brod said. “He may not be scoring all the goals, but he is still creating chances for others to score.”

The Spoofhounds are focusing their attention on the final game of the season against the Cameron Dragons before district play in Chillicothe. The No. 2 seeded Spoofhounds will play No. 3 Savannah, advancing to face the winner of No. 1 Chillicothe and No. 4 Cameron Thursday with a victory.

“It’s going to take consistent, gutty performances from all the boys to win districts,” Collins said. “It’s going to be exhausting. But if we get things to go our way it will be very satisfying.”

The results to the Cameron matchup were not available at the time of publication.

Allison Steins

Senior Allison Steins for the volleyball team scored two aces and 13 kills in a 2-0 against Chillicothe last Tuesday.

Steins’ Maryville career came to an end the next night against Smithville.

After suffering two losses last weekend, Northwest (9-12, 6-7 MIAA) hopes to bounce back against Central Oklahoma (20-4, 9-4 MIAA) Friday night.

According to Bearcats volleyball head coach Amy Woerth, the best defense can be a good offense.

“If you can’t get your offense going, your other areas are really

going to struggle,” Woerth said. “It’s not that we have to play an amazing match, everyone just has to do their job and we have to be strong in all of our areas.”

Men’s basketball overcoming loss of key players in preseason TYLER BROWN Sports Editor | @TyMan4_

After reaching the elite eight last season, the Bearcats men’s basketball team roster features several unfamiliar faces this season.

Preseason is too early to know if this is a rebuild or a reload type of team, but the journey to figure that out started last week when the team held its first practice.

“So far I think every practice we have gotten better,” sophomore forward Zach Schneider said. “I think the biggest part right now, with a bunch of new guys, is filling the gameplans, like the defensive strategies that we have. It can be a lot different than the programs that the other guys came from.”

When the likes of All-American DeShaun Cooper and All-MIAA Dillon Starzl graduated from a team, there is going to be a massive overall in terms of not only production, but leadership.

“I think we can always get better at that,” head coach Ben McCollum said. “I think last year we had such quality leaders that the two juniors, now seniors, didn’t get to lead quite as much as they would have had we not had so many seniors. But they’re coming along and some of our younger kids are stepping up and being leaders as well.”

Since Schneider stepped in and played as a freshman last season, he knows all about getting acclimated into what it takes to play college basketball. He says early practices are vital to the guys who have not been through a Northwest preseason.

“It’s definitely a different step for some guys,” Schneider said. “It’s a different type of work that they have never seen before. It can be a little culture shock, because it’s different from the other programs and how they’re run.”

The Bearcats will rely on Schneider in several ways after he set the bar high for himself by winning MIAA freshman of the year last season. The freshman standout shot just shy of 45 percent from the threepoint line. Schneider knows he needs to step up and grow into a more allaround player.

“Offensively, my two biggest roles are getting offensive boards and knocking down open threes,” Schneider said. “Defensively, I always need to be in the right position. I’m not the most athletic guy on the court so positioning is very important for me.”

The Bearcats are hoping to combine everyone together to make up for the 17 points per game Cooper aver-

“

I think last year we had such quality leaders that the two juniors, now seniors, would have had we not had so many seniors.

But they’re coming along and some of our younger kids are stepping up and being leaders as well.

confidence booster for the program.

“We still have a lot of young players that are playing big roles right now,” Woerth said. “So for them to understand the importance of Missouri Southern, to be able to get that series sweep and to feel good about yourself walking against UCM the next Tuesday, is huge.”

The Bearcats are coming off of two losses last weekend against Washburn and Emporia State.

Northwest lost in four sets to

Washburn, but lost all three sets to Emporia.

In the match against Emporia, junior Shelby Duren contributed ten digs, eight kills and a block.

Duren says that the loss against Missouri Western earlier in the week may have contributed to a loss of confidence for their games against Washburn and Emporia State. She also believes that the losses may have helped focus the team.

“I think the losses were humbling

because we have been doing really well up until this point,” Duren said.

“It’s good to know that on any given night anything can happen. Even teams we beat in the first half (of the season) can come back and beat us.”

The Bearcats play Central Oklahoma at 7 p.m. Friday and Missouri Southern at 2 p.m.

Saturday. Both matches will be held in Bearcat Arena.

Ben McCollum, head coach

aged last season,. The problem is that you cannot teach height, and height is what they are missing with the 6-foot-8-inch Starzl.

“I think our disadvantage is going to be our size,” Schneider said. “We’re a lot smaller than last year. Defensive rebounding is going to be a team effort. We’re not going to have one guy like Dill to go grab everything.”

Schneider says they are working to prevent turnovers. The emphasized drills in camp are stemming from those issues.

“We’ll start out at the half court and we’ll have five crashers on the three-point line,” Schneider said.

“And then our coach will shoot it and you got to hit your guy. Sometimes we’ll just line up in lines and do form rebounding.

“Guarding the ball, we do a lot of one-on-one work in the half court.

That really helps with that. Those are the main drills we’ve been doing.”

McCollum reiterates that the guys get together and talk throughout practice and getting to know each other to develop team chemistry.

Schneider says this has resulted in high energy practices so far.

“The best thing so far has been the energy,” Schneider said. “Our coach stresses energy, bringing that every day. I don’t want to say it’s a surprise because it is expected, but it’s been at a really high level.”

A lot of times when a team makes a deep postseason run, they sink into complacency, but the Bearcats did not make it as far as they wanted when they lost to the eventual national champion, Central Missouri. Northwest also has seven new players on its roster that are eager to be successful and that has shown at practice.

“I think there is so many new kids, that they’re hungry to play,” McCollum said. “And they’re trying to earn playing time and there is competition there. So that makes a fairly energetic practice and preseason.”

Oglesby DNA runs deep in Hounds AUSTIN HEINEN Chief Sports Reporter | @HeinoHeinen

T

he Maryville Spoofhounds have a Texas-like football tradition. Coaches and players treat one another like one big family. The Oglesby family knows exactly what that is like.

Sophomore quarterback Trey Oglesby had big shoes to fill when he took over the reigns of a team that has won two straight state titles. After a rough game at Lawson, going 2-7 passing, Trey Oglesby has since gone 37- 54 for 813 yards, throwing 13 touchdowns with only two interceptions, as well as throwing two games without an incompletion.

“I was never too nervous. I knew who I had around me,” Trey Oglesby said. “I have a lot of faith in them (teammates) so it wasn’t as difficult as some might think it is.”

In the offseason, Trey Oglesby stays busy playing basketball and baseball. Head coach Matt Webb thinks these offseason sports have helped Trey Oglesby keep his cool under pressure.

“I feel being a three-sport athlete has helped Trey from a ball control standpoint,” Webb said. “Whether it be an option play, he’s very comfortable with the ball in his hands.”

Trey Oglesby has also contributed with the ground attack, rushing for 232 yards and four touchdowns on the season.

Being a young quarterback, Trey Oglesby still has some things to work on. With the numbers Trey has put up in his first year as a starter, Maryville has a reason to be enthusiastic about the future, though, on top of the backto-back state titles the Spoofhounds have won.

No. 10 Bearcats eye rebound against inconsistent Tigers TYLER BROWN

Sports Editor | @tyman4_

After suffering its worst defeat since 2011, No. 10 Northwest (6-1) now faces a Fort Hays State (4-3) team that handed Pittsburg State its only loss of the season.

Not only did the Tigers beat the Gorillas, but they held them to six points. Considering Pittsburg State put up 35 points on the disaster of a homecoming last Saturday, the pressure has risen for the defending national champs.

“If you look at our region right now, if you lose two games, you’re not going to make the playoffs,” junior offensive tackle Shane Smith said.

“That’s obviously one of our big goals, to make the playoffs every year.

“Our backs are against the wall and we can’t leave any bullets in the chamber, so to speak. We got to fire all of our bullets and do everything we can to get a win.”

Since head coach Adam Dorrel took over the program in 2011, the Bearcats have lost a total of seven times. Each of the previous six times, Northwest has rebounded with a victory. Dorrel was asked if he believes it

takes a loss to provide a wake up call for the players and coaching staff.

“Sometimes in my career of coaching, sometimes it does take failure, sometimes to grow as a coach, as a player, as a student athlete,” Dorrel said. “It’s just frustrating because you don’t ever want to have to lose a football game to grow.”

After netting a season-low 161 passing yards against Pittsburg State, the Bearcats have to figure out a way to produce against a Fort Hays defense that has been dominant thus far.

“I think it’s very important to get off to a fast start this week,” Smith said. “And I think that starts with the way we practice. Last week we kind of had slow starts in practice. I think if we focus on fast starts and doing the little things right in practice this week we can come out and perform well on Saturday.”

The Tigers rank in the top four in all of the major defensive categories in the MIAA. That includes only allowing 18 points per game and only allowing an average of 121.8 passing yards per game.

Junior safety Bryce Enyard leaps over a Pitt State player Oct. 18. The Bearcats dropped their first game of the season, 35-17.

Quest to National Championship is far from over for Northwest AUSTIN HEINEN Chief Sports Reporter

Needless to say, we all would love to forget that the Pittsburg State game ever happened. It happened in front of a record attendance of 11,002 people. Obviously it is disappointing, but it’s not the end of the world.

Some will point accusing fingers in multiple directions, but the fact is,

it was a team deal. It is a combination of misexecuton and Pitt State playing out of its mind. Despite that – and I say this to all the restless Bearcats – I’ll give you the same five letter word Aaron Rodgers gave to Packer fans earlier in the season: relax.

Every team has an off day. The Bearcats just happened to be have theirs in front of a packed homecoming crowd. As the famous NFL coach Vince Lombardi once said, “It’s not whether you get knocked down; it’s whether you get back up.”

Northwest will have a great opportunity to get back on track as it travels to Fort Hays. There, it will face

www.nwmissourinews.com

the team who beat the Gorillas earlier in the season. Beating the team responsible for Pitt State’s only loss would be a huge boost, not only to prove that last game was just a fluke, but also to remind everyone what Bearcats football really is.

Fort Hays clearly has a solid defense if they can hold the Gorillas to just 6 points, so the offense will have a great chance at redemption.

As for redemption in Bearcat Stadium, we’ll have to wait a couple weeks until Northwest takes on Missouri Western. The Griffons stand at 5-2 and are knocking on the door for a top 25 ranking.

@NWMSports

The likelihood of the Bearcats to have another record attendance against the Griffons is slim to none. It will still be a great atmosphere at the rivalry game.

As for Pitt State, it still will travel to Edmond to take on Central Oklahoma (5-2), and play against Central Missouri (5-2) later, so there is the possibility of another defeat for the Gorillas, thus giving Northwest the outright title. That is, providing the Bearcats can run the table without any more defeats.

Moving on to the bigger picture, there’s always a possibility for a rematch in the playoffs. Should that

Northwest Missourian

happen, I’d look for the Bearcats to play with a little extra fire, especially in the unlikely scenario that Northwest can host the game again.

In 2009, the Bearcats lost to Abilene Christian 19-14, got a rematch, and won 35-10 in their first playoff game before marching through the postseason and bringing the national title to Maryville.

Dorrel is a perfect 6-0 following a loss since he took over in 2009. The coach said so himself: the team may have needed a wake up call. Northwest is now No. 10 in the nation.

Now, we get to watch and see if they can truly ‘protect the paw.’
