RIVALRY REFRESHED

orthwest will attempt to break a record that dates back to Oct. 2, 2010, when Pittsburg State comes to town this weekend.

On that date, 10,805 people attended the Bearcats football game that October weekend against Missouri Western, but the Gorilla fans and Northwest alumni have the pedigree to snap the four-year-old record.

For the first time since the 2008 playoffs, the traditionally tightlycontested matchup will take place in Maryville. Northwest head coach Adam Dorrel knows the rivalry well, as he was a three-year captain while playing offensive line for the Bearcats from 1994-1997, and he is in the midst of his 11th year on the coaching staff.

The fourth-year head coach cannot wait to welcome the Gorillas into Bearcat Stadium, where he used to play them as a Northwest athlete.

NORTHWEST MISSOURI VOTERS CAN RESTORE BALANCE TO OUR POLITICAL PROCESS ON NOVEMBER 4TH The Dysfunctional Missouri Legislature “You would think that effective legislatures would address the most pressing problems in the state... (but instead) Missouri(ans) are poorly served by their representatives’ out-of-proportion focus on trying to (nullify) federal laws...

Effective and respected law makers get things done, move the state forward and improve the lives of citizens.”

-From “Focus on Passing Laws Truly Helpful to the Public,” St. Joseph News Press, July 6, 2013

When a steadfastly Republican newspaper like the News-Press is compelled to rebuke Missouri legislators for their misplaced priorities, as it did last year over their efforts to enact unconstitutional state nullification laws, that should alert all voters that our electoral process has gone awry. But foolish nullification laws are only one aspect of the problem.

A $3,000 Dinner in Dallas (and cab fare too) Missouri’s weak ethics laws and counterproductive term limits have created a system whereby lobbyists and wealthy campaign donors, working with secretive and ideologically driven organizations like the American Legislative Exchange Council (known as ALEC) set too much of the legislative agenda. Ordinary citizens find themselves unable to influence a system that is flush with cash from unregulated lobbyist gifts and unlimited campaign contributions.

As reported last week, five Missouri legislators were feted to a $3,000 dinner at the Dallas Chop House, with the tab picked up by a dozen lobbyists. Those legislators included House Speaker Tim Jones and Republican Majority Leader John Diehl. The dinner was part of ALEC’s annual convention.

Seven of the lobbyists concealed their largess by falsely reporting the expense as a gift to “the entire General Assembly.” But the other five correctly reported the gift as to the individual attendees, thereby exposing the subterfuge.

And so, this incident shows not only the endemic corruption of lobbyist gifts, but also the malign influence of ALEC on the Republican leadership who came as supplicants to its convention (the other attendees were State Senators Ed Emery and Wayne Wallingford, and Rep. Sue Allen.)

The Dangers of the Veto-Proof Supermajority Low turnout primary elections in this country—where moderates do not get out and vote, but the hard right does— result in extremist candidates, who end up governing, particularly in our legislatures.

They may not really reflect the average citizen’s philosophy…

It will take a wake-up call to motivate more people to go to the polls…(which) is likely to be (legislative overreach)…

When only small percentage of people bother to follow events and take the time to vote, they are saying they do not care who governs them.

Yet, those elected to govern by a small minority of voters set the agenda for every governmental unit in American, from a small town…to state legislatures, to the Congress of the United States.

When legislation does emerge, too often it is not only ideologically driven but ill-considered as well. Missouri, like half of the state legislatures in the country, now has a veto-proof supermajority which means that the Republican party can enact its vision untempered by compromise. The middle ground that was once emblematic of the Missouri legislature has disappeared in favor of a stark extreme.

As Steve Rose, a longtime Republican political analyst, recently explained in his column, part of which is excerpted at left, low voter participation in the electoral process leads to unbalanced political power. Too often the moderates stay home, while the most partisan are more likely to vote which makes our state more politically divided in its legislature than are its citizens.

The “wake-up call” for Missouri voters should be the dangers posed by the present veto-proof supermajority. Such supermajorities can allow lawmakers to override governors’ veto’s, change the tax structure and rates, put constitutional amendments on the ballot – all without any participation by the opposing party, as has all happened in Missouri.

Voters in Northwest Missouri can act to end such unbalanced power and the corruption that travels with it, by voting on November 4th for these four candidates.

Voters do, indeed, deserve “effective and respected law makers (who) get things done, move the state forward and improve the lives of (its) citizens.”

Northwest prepares for record-setting crowd CHRIS ROUSH

News Editor | @ChrisRoush30

With six national championships and 36 MIAA championships combined, there is no wonder a record crowd is expected Saturday afternoon at Bearcat Stadium.

“We talked about it early on that we are going to have a huge crowd.

We didn’t want to talk about it until after last Saturday’s game,” Northwest Athletic Director Mel Tjeerdsma said. “We wanted to make sure that Pitt. State had only one loss and we were still undefeated.”

After the home opener against the University of Nebraska-Kearney, junior Marketing Intern for the Northwest Athletic Department Thomas Bird left a simple phrase on his boss’ whiteboard: “Homecoming = Largest Crowd at Northwest ever?”

“We were standing on the side lines during the first game, Nate Davis and I, and we looked at the student section and were blown away,” Bird said. “We got to thinking: we have this opportunity with Pitt. State playing up here this year for homecoming, why don’t we try to get a record crowd?”

The previous record of 10,805 was set in 2010 when the Bearcats took on the Missouri Western Griffons. After the conference realignment, the MIAA went to a schedule consisting of each team playing an 11-week round robin conference schedule.

With the Fall Classic at Arrowhead Stadium between Pittsburg State and Northwest ending last year, both schools knew there would be an opportunity for “big game” atmospheres on both campuses.

“We’ve done some things through social media, we’ve put out

SHAWNA KINGSTON | NW MISSOURIAN

The Shirtless Bearcats cheer on Northwest during the Sept. 25 game against Central Missouri. short promotional videos and hype videos,” said Nate Davis, assistant athletic director for marketing, promotions and licensing. “We have been trying to reach every part of the campus community as well as the Maryville community.”

Along with the homecoming

parade, Saturday morning will give fans many reasons to get out early for tailgating. Bird says there will be a Red Bull party tent and KZLX, the campus student radio station, will be out at the tailgate as well.

With games against NebraskaKearney, University of Central Mis-

souri and Northeastern State at home this season, Bearcat Stadium has held an average of 7,840 fans.

The major point of emphasis for the Northwest Athletics marketing department this year has been to get more students to games.

“Our team has proven them-

selves and are coming off a Division II National Championship,” Bird said. “Along with that, we have this amazing schedule at home this year. It is the perfect opportunity to establish the culture of ‘Saturday is game day.’”

University works to implement assistance to male victims of sexual assault

SHANE STEELEY

Chief Reporter | @shane_steeley

Sexual assault of males tends to be an underreported crime and leaves survivors unsure of what to do. Most don’t even know they are victims. According to Wellness Service Counselor Courtney Koch, sexual assault can be a traumatizing experience for anyone, but it can be especially hard to discuss it due to ingrained social norms for men. Victims, no matter the gender, can be helped.

“With sexual assault there is a feeling of shame that comes along with it, and survivors tend to feel embarrassed. I think those feelings are even stronger in male survivors of sexual assault, because of the emphasis in our society and culture that suggests that they (survivors) are less,” Koch said. “I think it is best to address their strengths, encourage them, commend them on coming forward and for the strength it took to do that.”

The issue of the “Lucky Guy”

syndrome is far too common in college culture. The syndrome is the idea men who are survivors of sexual assault should stay quiet rather than speak out.

According to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network website, about 10 percent of all victims are male. Male survivors may blame themselves for the assault, believing they were not ‘strong enough’ to fight off the perpetrator.

Many are confused by the fact that they became physically aroused during the attack, despite the assault or abuse they endured.

While there has been little done by the University in the past addressing, specifically, sexual violence to males, Director of Personal Development and Counseling Rhonda Lesley, stated that the University is working on ideas to combat this rarely addressed crime, and get men more involved with fighting and discussing sexual assault.

“We just started to have initial conversations regarding this … What we are hoping to get is more men involved and coming together having conversations about sexuality, the culture of healthy sexual attitudes and responsibility,” Lesley said. “And advocating for people who have been sexually assaulted and preventing sexual assault.”

Greek week advisor and graduate student Colin Schrader will be spearheading this campaign as well.

“Right now we are looking at how other college campuses are combating this,” Schrader said. “Seeing what has been effective in messaging and education. Once we have a deep understanding of what that looks like, we will implement our own version.”

While the number of sexual assault of males have not increased on campus according to University Police Chief Clarence Green, sexual assault of males it is still a problem that needs to be dealt with.

“We need to encourage reporting,” Green said. “Whatever the issue is.”

The other side of this is how students on campus can combat sexual assault by not being bystanders but active participants in stopping sexual violence, according to Schrader.

“One of our important pieces to this is definitely our Bearcat Watch bystander intervention training, which we have on this campus already,” Schrader said. “We know that it is a great way to empower students so when they see something wrong, they can step in to make a difference.”

The bystander training occurred Wednesday Oct. 15, and was presented by Coordinator for Residential Life Rebecca Maier and Assistant Director/Learning Services Coordinator for Student Support Services Jacque Loghry.

of complaints leveled at crisis pregnancy centers over the years. She maintained that her facility “will not give (clients) manipulative information” and that any counseling is free of religious or political underpinnings regarding abortion.

Despite her reassurance, the circumstances behind why a crisis pregnancy center is formed leads one to believe otherwise. During our discussion, Knowles said that she “never met any woman who said having an abortion was beneficial to them.”

Also, in a Maryville Daily Forum article, she mentioned that clients would be encouraged to make choices with “both the health interests of the unborn person and the mother” in mind.

Additionally, while this particular center claims to have no religious affiliation, one can’t ignore the fact that the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic organization, donated nearly $30,000 to the center. Some of that money was used to purchase an ultrasound machine.

All of these circumstances lead a rational person to believe that this new crisis pregnancy center, like most around the country, come in with a clear point of view on abortions.

I do not doubt that centers like Source Medical in Maryville have their heart in the right place. They’re providing free services with clear benefits to the community, such as STI screenings and pregnancy tests.

However, I think it’s important that women in Maryville are aware of what ideology a crisis pregnancy center brings to the table. Women who are dealing with such a serious life decision deserve to be informed of any bias a pregnancy counselor may harbor that would confine their advance to a pre-determined solution.

loss puts the Gorillas on the brink of elimination.

While Northwest should be confident as the No. 1 team in the nation, Pitt. State never goes down without a fight. In 2011, the Gorillas ended the Bearcats’ record streak of 49 consecutive MIAA victories.

If you are not into the rivalry, now is the perfect time to join. Since 1992, the teams have appeared in 11 NCAA Division II National Football Championships, including winning five titles. The rivalry has led to playoff matchups four of the last 10 years. The two teams have also com-

bined to win at least a share of the MIAA title all but twice since 1989.

Do not be shy about getting excited and loud for this matchup, Bearcats. Pitt. State brings in the best scoring defense in the conference against Northwest’s offense, which is ranked best in scoring in the MIAA. Whether it’s heading out to the pre-game tailgate, parade or Kegs & Eggs, do what you must to get hyped by 2 p.m. Saturday.

We will leave you with the words of Michael Bauer, sports editor of The Collegio at Pittsburg State: “Everyone knows we are going to lose.”

‘Dirty rushing’ devalues Greek Life experience AUSTIN NICHOLS Interfraternity Council

Greek Life at Northwest Missouri State University prides itself on four core values: scholarship, leadership, service, and brotherhood/sisterhood.

Although Greeks make up just a small portion of the student population here at Northwest, a great number of them are involved in many facets of campus life.

I don’t want to take away from the successes and accomplishments of students who are not involved in Greek organizations by any means.

However, it is safe to say that this University would not be the same if it were not for these individuals upholding these values and putting in the necessary time to help the other organizations they are involved with.

When going through formal recruitment periods, fraternities enjoy many University-sponsored events to meet potential new members (more commonly referred to as PNMs) who could play a vital role in their organization’s future. These include: forums, open houses and the always-fun, recruitment week.

During this week, chapters host an event each day from Monday to Wednesday, an invitation-only event Thursday and Bid Day Friday. Bid Day is when the PNMs choose to sign bids to join the organization of their choice, provided that they have a bid extended to them.

Unfortunately, during this time, individuals in these organizations may choose to hold unregistered social functions with alcohol present, and there are instances in which PNMs choose to attend these events.

This is considered “dirty rushing” and it goes against the Northwest Missouri State University Interfraternity Council bylaws. (Article 7, section

1, subsection 1-D, and section 4, for those who are curious).

“Dirty rushing” devalues the purpose of Greek Life here at Northwest Missouri State University. Remember how I began this column by stating the four core values of Greek Life? It is very hard to gauge a PNMs commitment to these values when they are intoxicated. “Dirty rushing” in a sense, replaces those values with the mentality that it is acceptable to underachieve academically, contribute very little service to the community and to remain complacent in developing leadership skills.

Yes, there is a social aspect to Greek Life. However, the basis of our social life needs to exist in such a way that it does not alter our commitment to our core values. The social aspect of greek life cannot ruin the reputation of our small, yet influential community that so many individuals past, present and future have worked so hard to uphold.

dium’s attendance record, which was set when the Bearcats faced Missouri Western in 2010. It’s worth mentioning that Pitt. State, which has more wins than any other Division II program, plays in front of nearly 10,000 fans on a regular basis in “The Jungle” at Carnie Smith Stadium.

Besides the possibility of a new attendance record, both teams have plenty on the line with Saturday’s matchup posing serious postseason implications. A perfectly polished record in the MIAA all but guarantees a No. 1 seed in the region for Northwest, while a second

Women should be aware of ideology ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ typically operate under

The decision to end a pregnancy is one of the most difficult choices any woman may potentially have to make. Therefore, someone dealing with this immensely critical decision should have every piece of unbiased, accurate information about abortions made available to them in a pressurefree environment.

Unfortunately, crisis pregnancy centers, while likely having a legitimate interest in the well-being of a woman, are coming to the table with an agenda. The fact of the matter is that these facilities often do not advertise to women that they have a point of view on the morality of abortions. They inaccurately present themselves as unbiased counselors whose personal views on abortion don’t seep into to counseling sessions with clients.

As many may know, a crisis pregnancy center recently opened up here in Maryville. Because it has newly opened for business, I cannot claim it engages in any of the deceptive tactics crisis pregnancy centers have become infamous for. However, I think it’s important that Maryville citizens, especially Northwest students, are aware of what a crisis pregnancy center is and how it differentiates from a legitimate women’s health clinic.

Before writing this piece, I spoke with Gwen Knowles, the Executive Director of Source Medical, the new crisis pregnancy center in Maryville. She was quick to distance her facility from the multitude

Ali and Frazier. Duke and North Carolina. Yankees and Red Sox. Some of the greatest rivalries in sports have been played on the biggest stages in the world. Though this Saturday’s game may not have the same national interest, the meaning behind the rivalry does not change for Northwest or Pittsburg State.

When Northwest releases its football schedule each February, eyes of the Bearcats faithful scroll through the 11 games, searching for the key rivalry game that started more than 80 years ago. Since 1932, the Bearcats and Gorillas have squared off 47 times, including every year since 1989.

This rivalry is as close as any in college football, with Northwest holding a slight 24-23 all-time win advantage against Pitt. State. Fans are not short to show support either.

The 2004 edition of the Fall Classic at Arrowhead Stadium set a NCAA Division II record for the largest attendance at a sporting event, with 26,695 fans coming to see the top two teams in the country. Since 2004, at least one of the teams have been ranked in the top 10 going into the rivalry game, making this annual face-off a landmark among college sports.

This year, Northwest gets to witness the rivalry from a completely different perspective. With homecoming knocking on the door, the game and weekend add an extra factor to the atmosphere at Bearcat Stadium, which has only hosted Pitt.

State once since 2000, during a 2008 playoff game.

With Northwest and Pitt. State failing to reach an agreement to continue the Fall Classic at Arrowhead Stadium, the teams now have the chance to be a marquee home matchup at each other’s home stadium every other year. And the possibility of facing a top-10 team in Bearcat Stadium every other year for homecoming should have fans more excited than ever.

The student body and athletics department are embracing this opportunity. Nate Davis and his staff are taking this chance to pack Bearcat Stadium with more than 10,805 fans. This will break the sta-

JUMPS RECRUITMENT

CONTINUED FROM A1 She said she was unable to talk to a specific group of women who aided potential new members throughout the process.

“I also was unable to talk to women going through recruitment about sororities and recruitment,” Ankenbauer said. “It definitely was hard because, who doesn’t want to brag about their sorority?”

Rules and restrictions are enforced by the Panhellenic Council.

According to the Northwest website, the council coordinates all-sorority events, service projects, educational programs and formal sorority recruitment. Rules and restrictions during the recruitment period are categorized as either an informal silence or a strict silence.

President of the Northwest Panhellenic Council senior Jena Sosnowchik gives her insight about the recruitment process and the restrictions that come with it.

“We just want every chapter to

REFRESHED

CONTINUED FROM A1 “That was ‘97, coach Dorrel’s last year,” Tjeerdsma said. “And that was a huge victory for us. It kind of set the tone that, ‘hey, there’s somebody else at the top of the conference behind Pitt. State.”

The Bearcats have not looked back since, winning 14 of 20 matchups since 1997, while winning four national championships in eight appearances.

Since 1991, Pittsburg State has won two of five national championship appearances.

Since 1989, the two schools have won at least a share of conference titles, aside from two seasons.

In the past 12 seasons, at least one of the two were ranked in the top 10 in the country when they played against each other, aside from the 2003 season. In seven of those seasons, they were both in the top 10 while playing each other.

What took the rivalry up a level was playing in Arrowhead Stadium in 2002, due to Bearcat Stadium getting rebuilt. After the idea of playing there was proposed to then-Northwest Athletic Director Dr. Bob Boerigter, Tjeerdsma never thought the Chiefs would bite on the idea. The rest is history, as the game went on to be known as the Fall Classic.

“I thought the Chiefs weren’t going to be interested in the idea, but they were,” Tjeerdsma said. “It was our game, so we just moved it. Pitt. didn’t really have anything to say about it.

“We had almost 27,000 people there.

At that time it was the biggest crowd ever at a Division II game. And then, it was such a good deal that Pitt. said the next year they want to move their game to Arrowhead.”

After averaging almost 20,000 per game for 12 seasons at the Fall Classic, Saturday’s game will be held at Bearcats Stadium. According to Tjeerdsma, the Pittsburg State community has respectively put pressure on the athletic department to have the games in Pittsburgh, Kansas, every other year after they donated more than $5 million for

GREEK LIFE

CONTINUED FROM A1 The risk management program takes the presidents, social and risk management chairs of each organization will attend a presentation and lecture. The program allows leaders of the organization to learn about the myths of drinking and Greek Life.

The leaders will learn about the by-laws put together by the Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic, and National Panhellenic and the set of rules created by the Fraternal Information and Programming Group.

“I think it is really important; college is a very unique time. There are always consequences to your actions,”

nwmissourinews.com have the same opportunity for recruiting girls and every girl a fair opportunity to find a chapter,” Sosnowchik said.

The first four restrictions are categorized as informal silences. The first informal silence addresses social media.

From the last weekend in July, known as work weekend, until after bid day, active sorority members cannot share things publicly on social media that could sway a potential new member’s mind about which chapter to join. Twitter and Instagram accounts must be set to private and every picture, status and shared post on Facebook must be set to a private or “only me” setting.

Vice President of Recruitment senior Devon Tracy shares the purpose of the social media restrictions.

“If one chapter let their girls keep their Facebooks and they promoted their sorority on social media, then when it came to bid day, they would have a totally unfair advantage. It just goes against the formal recruitment process,” Tracy said. “We have this thing called Positive Panhellenic Contact and it encourages active a new indoor football facility.

“I’m disappointed because I thought it was a great venue for a great rivalry game,” Tjeerdsma said. “But on the other hand, I understand the pressures they’re dealing with. Jim Johnson, their athletic director, and I are good friends. And, you know, it’s just one of those things. It’s a thing of the past. We’ll have them here, and we’ll go there next year.”

The Bearcats 2013 captain and national champion quarterback Trevor Adams, who won two of his three starts in the Fall Classic, has mixed feelings about the team not playing at Arrowhead.

“It was always fun playing at a big NFL stadium, the loudest one in the NFL,” Adams said. “It’s such a big deal to play at a stadium like that. I think it will just be a different experience. I think it will be pretty sweet having it at home because it will give a pretty big advantage to our team.”

Tjeerdsma believes Bearcat Stadium has a shot at breaking the attendance record. He believes Northwest’s homecoming crowd is what separates themselves from all the other MIAA schools.

“I don’t know that there is many schools at any level where homecoming is such an important thing,” Tjeerdsma said. “I found that out before I ever took the job. That was one of the big factors, you know ‘whatever you do, you better win homecoming’.

That’s just the way it is.”

Adams, who resides in Texas nowadays, talks about what he is most excited for: coming back to his alma mater for the first time since the national championship season.

“I’m excited for the game but my life there, I don’t look back and think about all the games we won or the stats we were able to put as a team,” Adams said. “I look back at the family and friends I was able to make. That’s what you could say really warms my heart. When I think about Maryville, it’s not just about football. It’s everything about the community that meant so much to me.”

Interim Director of Campus Activities Brooke McBride said. “We want students to be accountable to their actions ... to make good decisions, so that when they leave college, they learn from the choices they’ve made.”

Although, it has been a few years since the risk management program has been utilized, Butler says the program will be used going forward to insure chapters understand the rules and regulations.

“It’s important, because one of the biggest issues you will see with chapters is that they simply don’t know,” Butler said. “You want to be proactive, wherever this problem is. We can sit around and figure out where the problem is or we can meet it head on.”

members to not persuade potential members, and it encourages potential new members to enter recruitment with an open mind.”

The second restriction takes place from the first day of Advantage week until 24 hours after bid day. Active members are not allowed to invite potential new members to any sorority events. During this time period no men or potential new members are allowed into Roberta Hall, and no active sorority member or potential new member is allowed to take part in any fraternity recruitment function.

The third is from the first day of classes until the first information session in mid-September. Social contact during this time is allowed for active members but is limited. No member can promote her chapter or try to persuade potential new members to join. Active members are allowed to wear their Greek letters, but may not promote their sorority in any other way.

Tracy said that this rule, along with many others, was put in place so that potential new members will not be persuaded or pressured to join any

certain chapter.

“They will be a part of whichever sorority they choose for the rest of their lives, we want them to make that decision on their own,” Tracy said.

The final restriction takes place during the time between the first information session in mid-September until 24 hours after bid day. Active members are not allowed to consume any alcoholic beverages and no alcohol can be present at any sorority function.

The strict silence rules take place from the night that girls make their final decision about which sorority they want to join, known as preference night, until bid day. For this day, no active sorority members may have contact of any kind with potential new members. No talking, texting, calling, emailing or communication over social media is allowed during this period of time.

While there are many restrictions on active sorority members, for potential new members there are no set rules or restrictions. It is suggested by the Panhellenic Council that they do not go out for the weekend of recruitment, but they will not get in trouble

if they do.

However, if an active sorority member is caught going against the restrictions laid out by the national board, Panhellenic Council and the chapter, it will result in an infraction.

The member will have a mediation with the Panhellenic Council, and after the meeting they decided whether a community service project, presentation or another chapter development program will be assigned.

According to Sosnowchik, these rules and restrictions have been like this for at least the past five years - with the exception of a few minor changes to rules concerning social media.

Tracy said that there is not much the chapters or Panhellenic Council can do to change them.

“The rules come from our national boards and we are assigned a Panhellenic Advisor to help us write our code of conduct of sorts, but we don’t really have much say, we can suggest what we think works best for our campus, but nothing really more than that,” Tracy said.

CLASS ACT Student proves the Academy is more than perfect scores and overachievers LAUREN MCCOY Managing Editor | @McCoy014

By the time a high school student is 18 years old, the focus is usually the same: take the ACT, get a good enough score to get into that desired school, coast the rest of the year until graduation and enter into the real world. For Kyungchan Koh, though, the focus is a little different.

Koh, who prefers to go by Will, is one of 134 students at the Missouri Academy of Science, Mathematics and Computing. A school with a reputation for drawing in bright brains and turning out big names, Koh is living up to that expectation. Besides scoring a perfect 36 on the ACT, Koh is the first international student to be president of the Academy’s Student Government Association.

Despite these achievements, Koh remains a grounded individual. With an interest in computer science, he knows nothing is set in stone and goes with the flow.

“Although I know very little compared to a lot of people, I’m interested in learning more about it,” Koh said. “I just love to learn more in my free time … do some programming, learning some languages. My dream would be to work in one of the Silicon Valley companies; Google, or Facebook. I guess that all depends on where the future leads me.”

As far as his ACT score is concerned, most would consider it impressive, but Koh was simply excited to have done well.

“Although I did try to work for it, it had a bit of luck element with it,” he said. “When I got the score, it was a good feeling. I spent about five minutes screaming up and down the halls, literally.”

Outside of academics, his responsibilities as SGA president range from conducting meetings to keeping various committees on task. Academy senior and vice president of SGA Torria Slagle explained the importance of this role.

“The SGA is kind of a way for the whole student body to come together, to work together to plan certain events and try to improve life at the Academy,” she said “As president, Will does a great job of just getting people to come and keeping them involved. He’s a great leader in the fact that he’s always relaxed, carefree, and he’s kind of fun to be around. You always want to come just because it’s going to be fun, and we get stuff done, and that’s a good feeling.”

As president, Koh helps manage roughly 50 students who participate in the SGA. He spent the last year as the First Year Executive preparing for the role, although when he became president he said there was still a lot for him to learn. “ … I’m still figuring out the ropes, still trying to learn,” Koh said. “I’m still working on trying to work it out. It’s fun having all that power, I guess you could say.”

Koh seems to understand that power comes with responsibility, though, and intends to use his power for good.

“I will have to make sure I let the FYE of this year know (the responsibilities) so he can take charge next year,” Koh

said. “This year, I’m going to try to use some of the buzz we have to host events to make the school year more fun, because I want to have fun.”

Koh’s roommate, Aaron Rahaman, spoke to Koh’s character when he explained they are the only pair of roommates on the guys’ floor who have stayed together both years at the Academy.

“That’ll tell you something about Will, and how cool he is,” Rahaman said with a smile.

In a school that has students from South Korea, China and Panama, along with domestic students, Koh’s easy-going nature has helped break down what he called boundaries between international students.

“I think the Academy does a great job of just the experience to have all different types of cultures from all over the world just in the same place,” Slagle said. “Will is a great ‘gap-bridger’ between international and domestic students. It’s great that he, as president of SGA, is inclusive and brings people from all over, no matter what background they’re from. He’s always nice to them and ready to say hi, or help them out in any way.”

Director of Enrollment Robert Bryant Jr. described this aspect of the Academy as something many institutions try to establish.

“Truly, what we’ve been able to establish is what people have always talked about: a global community,” Bryant said. “Look at them, you see diversity just standing here.”

There is no denying Koh’s achievements are his own; the same can be said for any other student at the Academy. From here, though, Bryant believes the Academy is the best place for students like these to continue being successful. He explained how he pushes the students to be their best, and after some serious prodding earlier this semester, he said it was “a breath of fresh air and exhilarating” for Koh to be able to show off his ACT score.

“Working with teenage guys, you’ll find that they’re very cocky,” Bryant began to explain, but was quickly cut off by an interjection from Koh: “I am the most modest person I know.”

After a round of laughter and exchange of jokes, Bryant continued to outline the atmosphere within the Academy. “ … they aspire to go to the best schools in the country,” Bryant said. “What I tell them is that you’ve got to be very different and very unique now. Duke has seen a lot of 35’s, 36’s … as a matter of fact, Duke and Harvard has seen so many of them, they know what they like about them and what they don’t like. It takes more on a college application to impress those people.”

An aspect widely misunderstood about the Academy is the commonality between the students, despite their cultural or age differences. Northwest tend to look at the Academy students as overachieving high school students, but their reality is much more.

“They work hard, they push themselves quite a bit,” Bryant said. “But you have to try and balance it, and I think here, they learn how to balance it. By the time they go on to college, they’re prepared. Instead of running around like a typical freshman … because they’ve already established ‘I’ve gotta do something with my life.’ I think they will be able to look back and say ‘these were the formative years of my life,’ so that’s the beauty of it.”

“Dracula Untold” fails to impress Classic horror tale falls flat in big screen revamp VINCENT CONA Missourian Reporter | @UnfollowGhost

WWW.IMDB.COM

An original story for a classic horror icon seems like it would be the right movie for the season, but unfortunately, “Dracula Untold” doesn’t fit the bill.

“Dracula Untold” follows the story of Vlad Tepes, otherwise known as Vlad the Impaler, played by Luke Evans, as he fights to defend Transylvania. As the story progresses, Vlad’s son is captured by Turkish forces, and he must become a vampire in order to have the necessary power to fight.

To start, the story is not that good. It feels very flimsy at times. The only driving force behind it being action scenes. Anything of significance that happens involves Turks attacking the main characters.

In addition, it moves very quickly sacrificing historical accuracy. The historical inaccuracies would be excusable if they were replaced with

something of substance besides more violence and a shorter run time.

Also, the story just doesn’t make any sense at some points. For example, the demon that turns Vlad into a vampire is actually the Roman emperor Caligula. The movie is trying to take an interesting route when it comes to Dracula’s origins, but it just comes off as ridiculous. It takes itself very seriously, but with the subject matter, it doesn’t want a traditional origin, it wants one that screams “sequel bait”.

Not everything in this movie falls short though. The acting, at least on the part of Luke Evans, is pretty solid.

He does rather well portraying a warrior, putting a lot of emotion into each scene. As for the rest of the cast, the acting is mediocre. It’s average; nothing astounding. Visually, the movie is fairly appealing; the action scenes are fast paced, with wonderfully rendered scenery. Some scenes are pretty cool, for example a sword fight in a tent with the floor lined with silver, which is a vampire’s weakness.

In conclusion, the movie is not good. It has cool action scenes, nice visuals, some decent acting, but falls

flat on story. It reminds me a lot of the 2004 movie, “Van Helsing.” That movie was also a creative take on classic horror monsters, which got panned by critics. Stacking the two against each other, “Van Helsing” is way better, because it goes in a different direction with its creative design; whereas “Dracula Untold” is a slapped together, semi-coherent origin story while being half-serious and half-completely ridiculous. The worst offense of all is that the movie doesn’t feel like a Dracula movie. Dracula is traditionally a charismatic, evil, conniving villain that seeks to bring some horrible fate upon humans. This reboot turns him into a big teddy bear who loves his family and doesn’t want to hurt people. It takes something great and thoroughly whittles it down to something frighteningly fluffy.

Pop-punk band strings together success KELSEY SCHILB Missourian Reporter | @Kschilb

Seventeen years, 12 different members and nine studio albums after their formation, pop-punk powerhouse Yellowcard is still on top with their unique twist on the tried-andtrue alternative sound.

Originally from Jacksonville, Florida, the five-piece’s claim to fame in a sea of similar-sounding acts across the pop-punk genre is their melodic use of violins. It’s hard to think that one instrument could change the entire sound, but the addition of a violin packs an extra punch.

Sean Mackin, the group’s string virtuoso, has been in Yellowcard since their inception in 1997. Original drummer Longineu W. Parsons III left the band earlier this year.

Yellowcard has successfully

mixed a rich, mellow sound with the heaviness associated with alternative rock since they first exploded onto the major scene with Ocean Avenue in 2003. Their latest release Lift a Sail stays true to their established style with a blend of both heavy and slower, more thoughtful tracks.

The first single off the album, “One Bedroom” is a prime example of the latter. Acoustic guitars, piano and violin are prominent elements of this poetic love song.

On the opposite end of the spectrum is “Make Me So,” an upbeat, dance-worthy nod to the earliest Yellowcard songs.

The album as a whole is a fresh take on a tried-and-true sound; a good example of not fixing something that’s not broken. Yellowcard shows once more that things only get better with age.

The wait is finally over for all heavy-metal fans with Slipknot’s new album “.5: The Gray Chapter.”

After six years of dead silence from the Des Moines, Iowa, band, they release their fifth studio album Oct. 21. Three hiatuses, a band member’s death, and rumors of breaking up left fans weary and hopeless regarding a fifth album from the Midwestern band.

The album name is a memorial to Slipknot’s bassist Paul Gray. Gray passed away in 2010 during the band’s third hiatus from 2008 to 2010. The band lost another founding member, Joey Jordison, in 2013.

Despite the losses, the band released teasers of their new album in August 2014. Their first song released in six years, “The Negative One,” throws six years of pent-up energy and frustration in your face.

“The Negative One” was followed shortly by a music video. Dark and twisted don’t even begin to describe the music video. The dead goat heads and carcasses filled with flowers overshadow the naked girl covered in black paint freaking out. Just like the song, the music video was a sensory overload.

WWW.DEATHANDTAXESMAG.COM

The second song for radio “The Devil In I” released near the end of August. While the chorus had the same screaming the vocals were much calmer and hauntingly beautiful. This song was meant for radio with the catching and easily understood lyrics, despite its dark content.

While the music video for “The Devil In I” was released in September, it is much more fitting for the Halloween season with creepy masks and crows. The asylum theme with hints of cult-like sacrifice just adds an extra dose of creepy to the already

THE STROLLER: Your Man wants you to get loud Your man wants you to support the Bearcats this weekend B-E-A-R-C-A-T-S! It’s homecoming week Bearcats, and I seriously couldn’t be any happier. Sure, this week is super busy for a lot of people, including myself, but I seriously love homecoming. At least a lot more than high school homecoming.

Sure, high school homecoming was fun. You had theme days, and Saturday night you got to dress up and go to the dance with your date to dance the night away. But not in college. Homecoming in college is the time to celebrate the alumni, and this year, to kick Pitt. States’ ass.

If you haven’t seen it already, Coach Dorrel tweeted that he wanted to break the record for

attendance at the game this weekend. Who doesn’t love breaking records and being a part of that process ?

Plus, with that parking lot where they allow alcohol, seniors have plenty of reasons to not miss out on their fourth, or fifth, homecoming celebration.

With the variety show Thursday and Friday and the parade Saturday, there is no way you shouldn’t be at the game. Sure, your man will be on the streets drinking from 7 a.m. until who knows when he will stop, but that shouldn’t stop you from going to the game.

This is homecoming, for Pete’s sake. One day, after you graduate, you will realize just how important and fun homecoming

twisted music. With crows and dogs attacking masked band members to a masked psycho eating his own hand, this music video is just one horror after another.

I’m not personally a heavy-metal fan, but I’m sure Slipknot fans won’t be disappointed. With just a taste of the album, I almost found myself planning to buy “.5: The Gray Chapter” Oct. 21.

With the two teaser songs, this album is bound to be moody and dark, with killer electric guitars and face-melting percussion. The six year wait is well worth it my friends.

is. It’s the one time that alumni will come to the game and actually get recognized. And, from now on, homecoming is the time that we get to show Pitt. State just how badass Northwest is and how we reign Division II football.

Your man might be drunk at the game, but that’s okay. Let him get drunk, and let him yell things he shouldn’t yell. It’s homecoming and that is what homecoming is for.

Now, yell it with your man: Once A Bearcat, Always A Bearcat!

Bearcats basketball tips off preseason practice

RIVALRY

CONTINUED FROM A12 This will result in the fans playing a large role in a rivalry where the two teams are separated by one game. The Bearcats lead the Gorillas by a series record of 24-23.

Now let’s talk about Pittsburg State’s Carnie Smith Stadium. If you have ever been to a Mizzou football game, you can compare that experience with the Pittsburg State football games on Saturdays.

It is a beautiful two-story stadium, held up by rock walls with a gigantic jumbotron in its endzone, which has been there since the mid2000’s.

Their fans know how to tailgate and the games average more than 10,000 people. The last time the Bearcats came to town for the 2011 playoff game, they capped out at 11,000.

Filopoulos moved to Maryville right before his freshman year from Athens, Greece. Worthington and Brod, as well as the team, welcomed him with open arms.

Worthington says Filopoulos adds a different element to the team.

“He brings a different style of play to the team and the game,” Worthington said. “It’s really impressive to see how he plays the game. I think we have learned a lot about him, and the way he plays.”

At practice, Worthington, Filopoulos and Brod can be found in the same group practicing and running drills. Collins said this trio is difficult to split up.

“I have to make sure that they aren’t always together running the drills,” Collins said. “At the end of the day, they work and develop a chemistry with each other, but it is important that they learn to play with other people.”

During games, the offense is run through Worthington, Filopoulos and Oct. 4. Dorrel says from a gameplan standpoint, the Gorillas’ defense is not any different to prepare for.

“From a scheme, coverages, front, stunts, blitzes its not,” Dorrel said.

“Obviously he’s an extremely talented young man, and it’s a really bad deal what happened to him. But they haven’t made a philosophical change in what they’re doing.”

Disney received all-america recognition last season when he tallied 101 tackles and four interceptions.

Not only is it the first time since the 2008 playoffs that the Gorillas traveled into Maryville, but this

weekend is also homecoming. Manning said Dorrel has not talked about the expected rowdy, jam-packed atmosphere, but he believes it goes without saying.

“Homecoming alone in Maryville is a great atmosphere,” Manning said.

“And then you add on Pitt. State. You add on to what this holds, you know what I mean? They’re probably the second best team in the conference, arguably the third best team in the conference.

“So this is a big week for us, know what I mean? This might depict on where we’re at a few weeks from now.”

CONTINUED FROM A12

SHAWNA KINGSTON| NW MISSOURIAN

FOOTBALL

CONTINUED FROM A12 The Gorillas’ offense is second in the conference putting up more than 434 yards per game, just behind the Bearcats who average more than 458.

From a Bearcats offensive standpoint, sophomore tight end TJ Schieber says the Gorillas defense carries a lot of similarities in comparison to the Bearcats. So, it can be assumed that the offense has gained great experience going against the daunting

Northwest defense every day in practice.

“They’re like our defense,” Schieber said. “They’re talented in all aspects of it. They have real good defensive linemen, linebackers, secondary.

It’ll be a challenge but we’re ready for it. We’ve put up some numbers so far.”

Dorrel said the Bearcats put together arguably their most complete game last Saturday against Lindenwood where they beat the Lions 5120. However, Northwest did commit 17 penalties for 175 yards. Junior quarterback Brady Bolles says you can not beat a top 20 team by shoot-

“For us as an offense, we need to hammer down on the penalties,” Bolles said. “We had too many this week. Defense played great, special teams played great, like you said, so if we can take care of the ball and not move backwards, I think we’ll be OK.” Dorrel said what sticks out most about the Pittsburg State defense is the athleticism and its ability to track down ball carriers. But, the Gorillas will be without their leading tackler, senior linebacker Tyler Disney, who appeared to sustain a serious leg injury against Missouri Western Saturday

The last time the Gorillas stepped foot in Maryville dates back to 2008.

It is safe to say the Bearcats will have no motivational problems once the 2 p.m. opening whistle blows.

All I am asking is that the students at Northwest realize the magnitude of the rivalry coming back to town.

With it being homecoming as well, I am sure the alumni will be more than willing to show the newbies the right way to get hyped for a game that features, statistically, two of the top three defenses in the nation.

Not only is Pitt. State trying to even the overall series record, they are fighting for a playoff spot since they lost to Fort Hays on a questionable Tigers touchdown. If they lose this game against the Bearcats, their playoff chances decline.

As for the Bearcats, they want to prove they are the best defense in the country. Longacre, Gnader and the boys are out to prove, that it should not even be a question.

Brod. They run a triangle formation, and any of them can play in that position, allowing them to move forward when needed.

“What’s really unique about these guys is that we don’t miss a beat,” Collins said. “I don’t have to make any changes in the game. They know and understand how they need to play the game.”

During the off-season, the trio likes to stay in close contact with each other and make it a point to hang out all of the time. They are still typical teenage boys.

“We usually just play video games,” Brod said. “We also hang out with other friends that aren’t on the soccer team. Often times, we go shoot and play around at the Northwest soccer pitch when we have nothing to do.”

The goal for the trio is to earn the top seed at the district tournament in Chillicothe later this month, which they can do that by winning or tying the remaining games on the schedule.

“Our goal is to get that top seed for the district tournament,” Worthington said. “That is what we are gunning for.”

Hounds aim for MEC title AUSTIN HEINEN Chief Sports Reporter | @HEINOHeinen

SARAH BANDY | NW MISSOURIAN

Seniors Hayden Snow and Tyler Coleman smile for the camera after winning the Highway 71 showdown against Savannah High Oct. 10.

The crown of the Midland Empire Conference comes down to the last game of the season. Maryville (8-0) can clinch its third straight Midland Empire conference title tomorrow, but first it will have to beat Class 4’s ninth-ranked team, the Lafayette Fighting Irish (6-2).

Maryville has already clinched at least a share of the conference titles with Lafayette last week by defeating Savannah 55-14. Head coach Matt Webb and the rest of the team made it clear they have no intention of sharing the conference title.

“We don’t want to share the title with them, and we’ll make sure we come out with an outright conference championship,” Webb said.

“This is a great opportunity against a great football team that is very dynamic on offense, and athletic on both sides of the ball.”

Lafayette’s only conference loss was a heartbreaker against Smithville 32-28, giving up 25 second half points. Since then, the Irish have scored at least 37 points each game, only allowing an average of five points per game.

Lafayette head coach Paul Woolard has his team playing at a high level at the right time.

MARYVILLE

“We played two class five teams to start our season and got some great experience from that,” Woolard said.

“Our defense has really gotten better and it’s helped build our confidence.

Hopefully that will carry over to this week’s game against a team that’s on a gigantic roll and get us a better spot in the playoffs.”

The Irish went 1-1 against those Class 5 teams, beating North Kansas City 50-20 but losing to Carthage 49-14.

Senior running back Brody McMahon rushed for a season-best 276 yards and four touchdowns last week at Savannah. He believes the offense is playing its best football at the right time.

“Our offense is really clicking and we’re playing together,” McMahon said. “Running backs love the O-Line and they love us, and we’ve really got rolling lately.”

Unlike earlier in the season, Maryville’s first string players are starting to play full games instead of just one half. Webb promises that his players are in shape for full games, and considering they have beaten two ranked Class 4 teams, their conditioning looks legitimate.

“When we get a lead, we just want to keep our guys fresh and energized,” Webb said. “We try to develop our un-

derclassmen as much as possible, and it helps keep our top guys rested for the postseason. That’s really helped us out this year and kept us loose for the end of the season, and put us in position for another playoff run.”

The Fighting Irish primarily attack on offense with their passing game, a style of offense the Hounds have not seen this year. Woolard realizes that this fact can help bring some surprises to Maryville’s tenacious defense.

“When you face Maryville, you face a very well-coached team,” Woolard said. “We look to use some of our athleticism and speed to get our playmakers the ball. We have our work cut out for us, but we will look for matchups on the field that will give us the best opportunities.”

Going against an air-raid offense for the first time this year, the Spoofhounds’ defensive versatility will be tested. The Hounds know how much the Irish rely on their passing game to achieve offensive success.

“Their passing game is really good and we have to be ready for it,” senior running back Payden Dawson said. “We’re going to have to prepare for them like we do with everyone else and it will be a tough game for us.”

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Friday at Lafayette High School.

Goalkeeper for the Bearcats soccer team set the freshman record for most shutouts in a season with her fifth against Washburn Sunday. She’s three away from program record.

The season came to close for a pair of state qualifiers on the Maryville High School girls golf team after a ride to the state tournament.

A rain delay moved back the shotgun start in the first round of the tournament Monday at the Rivercut Golf Course in Springfield. Despite the delay, junior Mollie Holtman shot a 106 and freshman Shelby Wolters finished with a score of 127 on day one.

The second day featured puddles in bunkers and still water on the fairways along with windy conditions. However, Holtman improved her score to a 98 on day two. Wolters also improved to shoot a score of 114.

Holtman finished 67th and Wolters finished 85th overall for the Spoofhounds.

Wolters admits the wet conditions got the best of her for the majority of the tournament.

“The wet conditions were a big challenge due to the bunkers,” Wolters said. “Also, the fairways had standing water, which bothered my swing.”

Wolters, who no one expected to emerge as the number two player for the Hounds, let alone make it to state, knows what she has to do to grow from the experience.

“It was just hard work, practice and support from my family and coach,” Wolters said. “It was an honor qualifying for state and my goal will be to qualify the next three years.”

Overall, head coach Brenda Ricks believes the team beat out her expectations for the year.

“We were a new, young team with five freshman this year,” Ricks said.

“The main goal was to go out and have fun, which I think they did. They all got along together and a freshman qualified for state along the way. I wanted to see Mollie finish up there, but they had fun.”

Bearcats senior leads by example Herbert continues to impress on and off course PAT WOOD Missourian Reporter | @thatsportsfan

SARAH BANDY | NW MISSOURIAN

Senior Anne Herbert takes on the Northwest course during the Bearcat Open Sept. 5, Both men and women placed first.

For the past three years, the Bearcats cross country team has been lead

by Anne Herbert, one of the most dominant runners in Northwest Missouri State history.

The senior from Illinois is the embodiment of what a student-athlete should look like. She is also the face of a sport that gets little recognition from residents around Northwest.

“My favorite thing about Anne is that she is always surprised when she does well,” head coach Scott Lorek said. “As good as she’s done, she has never changed, and it’s refreshing to see the non-existent ego.”

Lorek met Herbert at a young age, due to the life-long friendship between Lorek and Herbert’s dad, John.

“Her dad and I are best friends,” Lorek said. “We ran in high school together and went to different colleges, but still trained together. So I’ve known Anne since she was just a little girl.”

Meets can be a stressful time for runners. Between aiming for high times and fighting through crowded fields of runners, most people would find it difficult to keep their composure. Herbert likes to keep the mood light and turns to a higher power for guidance in trying times.

“To keep myself from getting ner-

vous, I pray,” said Herbert. “Talking to God, because he is the one in control of the result.”

One of the benefits of having a runner like Herbert is the amount of experience and leadership she brings to an inexperienced team. The constant improvement of Herbert has been an inspiring thing for Lorek to watch.

“She’s a quiet leader,” Lorek said.

“She will be vocal when she needs to be but she is always positive and it’s always encouraging.”

When asked about what she wants to do after college, she replied enthusiastically.

“That’s a great question. I’m majoring in biology and psychology and actually graduated early,” Herbert said. “I am currently working on my master’s in applied health services.”

Coming from a suburb of Chicago, Herbert has adapted to the smalltown vibe from residing in Maryville the past four years.

“I love the small town atmosphere,” Herbert said. “I love going to Chicago, but living in Maryville gives you that sense of community.”

With the past weekend off, many runners or athletes would take the time to rest and relax, but Herbert is not one of them. She used the rare time off to board a plane to visit a friend in North Carolina.

At the Chilli Pepper Invitational Oct. 4, Herbert finished 42 out of 375 runners. The team now turns its attention to the Tiger Open Saturday in Hays, Kansas.

Boissinot comes up short at nationals, sets stage for Bearcats to have strong spring season ITA National Small College Championships in the South Carolina.

“It was exciting and I was proud of that,” Boissinot said. “I was proud to represent Northwest against other good schools, some of which we saw last year in nationals … I accomplished more than I had expected this year. I am surprised and I am very happy with what happened.”

The Bearcats men’s tennis team resumes competition in February, where they will look to defend their conference title and improve on their 18th ranked finish.

JACOB BLAND

Missourian Reporter | @NWMSports

Sophomore tennis star Romain Boissinot’s fall tennis season came to a bittersweet end Saturday.

Boissinot was not able to capture the National Individual Tournament title, but he was able to snare the pride that comes with representing Bearcat nation, not to mention representing it on such a prestigious stage.

Boissinot fell in his first two matches but ended up regaining form, finishing seventh place at the USTA/

Head coach Mark Rosewell knows that he will need strong performances from co-captain Alvaro Riveros and Boissinot if his team is to sustain or surpass the team’s goals and expectations this upcoming spring season.

“Romain is our number one player right now,” Rosewell said. “He just needs to keep playing like he has been playing, he’s been playing very well.

He won the ITA regional and then placed seventh there. He’s also a good doubles player.”

The Bearcats have a lot of things they will need to work on before the

spring season starts, one of which will be figuring out partners on the doubles teams.

In the spring season, the Bearcats will compete in individual tournaments and doubles team tournaments, so team chemistry is crucial to their success.

Standing in the Bearcats’ way to matching last season’s success is the stiff competition the team will meet in the spring.

Rosewell and assistant coach Lluis Altimires both elaborated on the importance of their team to get better

1406 E. First Maryville

at playing under pressure. To improve this element of success, the Bearcats scheduled tougher opponents to get their team ready for conference play.

“We’ve got a real tough schedule for the spring that will help us with that,” Rosewell said. “We have experimental games, where we have a couple of Division I schools scheduled and some very good Division II teams as well.”

The Bearcats begin their quest for a tennis national championship in February with indoor singles and doubles team matches.

Bearcats prepare for Gorilla homecoming

TYLER BROWN Sports Editor | @tyman4_

Expect a low scoring grudge match Saturday when Pittsburg State (5-1) comes to town to face Northwest (6-0) Saturday.

The Bearcats allow an average of just more than 12 points per game, whereas the Gorillas allow a stunning average of barely more than seven points per game.

Those two averages rank third and first in the conference, respectively, but Northwest head coach Adam Dorrel believes these two defenses could possibly be battling for

the best defense in the country.

“They (Northwest) wanna be the best defense in the league and the country,” Dorrel said. “Those guys down at Pittsburg want to do the same thing so, I mean, you’re going to see arguably two of the best teams in the country Saturday going at it.”

Pitt. State ranks second in the country in scoring defense while Northwest sits at eighth. The two also rank second and third in the country in yards allowed per game.

With the Gorillas ranking ahead of the Bearcats in almost all statistical categories, Dorrel has noticed a

different demeanor in his defensive athletes as they seem to be carrying an even bigger chip on their shoulder this week.

“Those guys, you gotta be careful what you say to them early in the week,” Dorrel said. “Anything seems to rile those guys up a little bit. And that’s with our coaches over there too.”

Pitt. State senior wide receiver Gavin Lutman had a monster game against Emporia State last Saturday, accumulating 10 receptions for 268 yards receiving and four touchdowns.

Northwest senior cornerback

Travis Manning had a breakout game himself with a 28-yard interception return for a touchdown and a 27-yard punt return to the seven-yard line against Lindenwood.

Manning says that Lutman and the Gorillas offense will not have the same success against the Bearcats’ defense.

“With the D-Line that we have, the ball is going to have to come out fast,” Manning said. “They’re not going to have time. So whatever they do, it’s going to have to be quick. So the way they play other teams, it’s going to have to be different than when they come here. I

feel like if we do what we do all year, we’ll be just fine defensively.”

As Dorrel alluded to the defensive mindset earlier, Manning said he would be lying if he did not have a chip on his shoulder to deem the defense the best in the conference.

“That’s definitely how we’re going into this game,” Manning said.

“It’s great for Pitt. State, only allowing three touchdowns. That’s an awesome thing to achieve as a defense. But, with that, I honestly I feel like we’re better overall. But, this weekend we’ll find out.”

Pitt. rivalry comes back to Maryville TYLER BROWN Sports Editor

Since Worthington is not scoring as much, Brod has had to pick Worthington up, scoring four goals and adding two assists over the last two weeks.

“Zach has really stepped up this season,” Filopoulos said. “He has the ability to score from anywhere on the field. I try my best to make good passes to him when he makes good runs, and when I do it he normally scores.”

Although Brod enjoys filling up the stat sheet, he says it is most important to add points to the win column.

“It feels great to score goals,” Brod said. “But, it is even better when we score as a team and end the day with a win.”

Stand up and get loud, Bearcats fans. The best rivalry in Division II just hit the refresh button. History is in the making, and it has been since 1932.

At Northwest, students are fortunate to have a football powerhouse on campus. Some might even call the Bearcats, the “Alabama of Division II.” Where the students of Northwest have been getting gypped the past 12 years is they have not been able to watch its biggest rivalry in the confines of its own stadium.

Don’t get me wrong, the 12-year run that Northwest and Pittsburg State had at Arrowhead Stadium had its perks but, in my opinion, Bearcats fans will receive a true college experience Saturday when the fans get to see the largest crowd since 2010.

While the crowd at the Fall Classic averaged more than 20,000 throughout its tenure, it went down considerably each year. In 2002 the stadium was filled with nearly 27,000 Bearcat and Gorilla fans. It had a good run, but the empty stadium mellowed out the atmosphere of the 82-yearold rivalry.

While we can’t expect to see 20,000 fans at Bearcat Stadium Saturday, because Northwest only granted them 700 tickets and the stadium does not have enough capacity, you can expect zero empty seats.

Spoofhounds season success leans on shoulders of star trio

RYAN EDWARDS

Chief Sports Reporter | @RyanaldoEdwards

Over the course of the season, opposing coaches at Maryville High School soccer games can be heard screaming at their players to “look out for number 20,” “watch number 4,” and “be aware of number 10.”

Those jersey numbers belong to Maryville’s dominant scoring trio; senior midfielder Mitch Worthington, junior forward Zach Brod and junior midfielder Dimitri Filopoulos.

The trio has accounted for 32 out of the 52 goals, or roughly 61 percent of the goals scored this season for Maryville. Brod leads the way with 16 goals while Filopoulos and Worthington each have eight.

Worthington is the team captain

for the Spoofhounds and has been a part of the varsity team for four years.

He has experienced a lot of ups and downs throughout his career. Worthington is used to scoring - a lot. But this season’s opposing teams have started marking him with two players, limiting his chances to score.

“Early on, it was hard for me,” Worthington said. “I was getting double and triple teamed on every touch. I am used to scoring a lot of goals. Now I try to create opportunities for my teammates.”

Maryville head coach Stuart Collins has seen his star player evolve, becoming a better player and teammate over the course of the season.

“It has been frustrating for him, but he still has chances to score,”

www.nwmissourinews.com

Collins said. “We still look to get him involved in the game, and we do that with set pieces.”

Brod has been Worthington’s teammate since he was 10 years old.

He has picked up a lot of the slack left

by Worthington, resulting in a torrid scoring stretch.

Brod and Worthington grew up playing together for the Twisters, a local traveling club team that plays in tournaments around the St. Joseph and Kansas City area. Naturally, the two developed a chemistry with each other both on and off the field.

“We grew up playing a lot of soccer together,” Brod said. “Over the years it has really paid off. Not only are we teammates, we are good friends.”
