Clean Line planning appeal Court reversed construction permitting; landowners have fought project for 4 years

By Pam Eggemeier Shaw Media Service

Rock Island Clean Line Energy said it will appeal a recent state court decision that dealt a blow to its proposed 500-mile high-voltage power transmission line through several counties in Illinois, including Whiteside and Bureau, and in Iowa.

The project route was to begin in Iowa’s O’Brien County, enter Illinois between Cordova and Port

Byron, continue through Whiteside County just southwest of Erie, through the entire north edge of Bureau County, and end in Grundy County.

The Illinois Third District Court of Appeals handed down its decision Aug. 10 that reversed an order by the Illinois Commerce Commission allowing construction in the state. In 2014, the ICC had unanimously granted a certificate of public convenience and necessity for

Iowa has yet to grant Rock Island Clean Line similar certification for the project.

The appellate court’s reversal was based on its opinion the project doesn’t meet definitions of a public utility under the Illinois Public Utilities

Act, and therefore can’t be given regulatory approval.

The appeal had been filed by the Illinois Landowners Alliance, made up of more than 300 landowners who oppose the controversial project. The Illinois Farm Bureau and ComEd made other arguments against the proj-

ect, but the court deemed them unnecessary when the project’s public utility status was rejected.

The landowners say the possible use of eminent domain is at the heart of the matter.

“Nobody is against private companies wanting to do business, but they don’t have the right to go through private property to do the project,” said Mary Mauch, spokeswoman for Block RICL. Mauch, of rural Men-

dota, said Block RICL was started simply to provide basic information, but it quickly strengthened, and has been fighting Rock Island Clean Energy for four years.

“We started it just to let people know about this project because not many did,” Mauch said. “We had our first meeting Aug. 29, 2012, and in three months, we had put up more than 3,000 signs.”

According to the city of Spring Valley website, Mitchell was born in Braidwood in 1870 to coal mine worker Robert Mitchell and his wife. Mitchell’s mother died when he was 3, and his father

died in the coal mines when young John was only 6. Mitchell was quoted as saying, “I have no recollection of a carefree childhood in which play, laughter and pranks had their place.”

LAMOILLE — The LaMoille School District is looking into options regarding its three campuses — Van Orin, Allen Junior High and LaMoille High School, and it is looking to the community for thoughts and suggestions.

The school board held a meeting Thursday, Sept. 1, during which it presented current thoughts on the matter to community members, with the hope the community would be able to provide feedback and further ideas.

“There are probably ideas, thoughts, suggestions, that staff and community have that we haven’t thought of, we haven’t come across,” LaMoille School Board President Jeff Pinter said.

“We came up with the list that is here, and it is just a list,” said Mary Taylor, a member of the subcommittee which put together the various ideas. “I was hoping tonight’s meeting would be a lot more ideas to put on this list.”

The foremost suggestion at the time involved shutting the Van Orin campus down and moving all the students to the two LaMoille campuses.

James McGuire, commander of the Rhode Island Department of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, recently traveled to Bureau County to search Perkins Cemetery, an abandoned area, for the final resting place of his relative Corporal Levi Long.

By Dave Cook dcook@bcrnews.com

BUREAU JUNCTION — James McGuire, commander of the Rhode Island Department of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW), traveled a long way to search a hot, humid and heavily-wooded hilltop containing an abandoned cemetery. His search was successful, and he finally made a tangible connection to his Civil War ancestor, along with many others in his family tree.

McGuire became a commander in the SUVCW this year, the same year its national encampment was being held in Springfield. This is also the year he learned his ancestor, Corporal Levi Long of Company K in the 148th Illinois Infantry, was buried in Perkins Cemetery, just a few miles down the road from Bureau Junction.

“For all these things to occur at the same time, it’s serendipity,” McGuire said.

Arriving in the area, McGuire received help from the Bureau County Genealogical Society (BCGS) and located Long’s name on Princeton’s Soldiers

City clerk’s office closed Monday SPRING VALLEY — Spring Valley City Clerk Becky Hansen has announced her office will be closed Monday, Sept.

Raffle winners announced PRINCETON — The Bureau/Putnam County Crimestoppers have announced the raffle winners drawn at the Bureau County Fair in Princeton.

The first-place winner was Greg Zerfas, and the second-place winner was Lisa Griffin.

Enveloped by trees, this is one of the larger monuments in the old cemetery. The area has been consumed by nature to the point where it’s conceivable that someone could walk through it without realizing they’re passing through a Civil War-era cemetery.

According to the Bureau County Genealogical Society, Perkins Cemetery was established in 1843. and Sailors monument. He was also able to see a photo of Long in the Bureau County Historical Society Museum.

He then visited a cousin he’d never met in Kewanee and met his great-grandmother’s niece in Annawan as well. He said she looked very much like his grandmother.

“For so long these towns and family members existed only in my imagination — Annawan,

Kewanee, Putnam, Princeton, and now I’ve been to these places and have even seen some of their faces,” McGuire said.

The BCGS helped him contact property owner Conrad Swenson, who met him near the cemetery, guiding him in the right direction for the steep climb up the rugged, mosquito-filled hillside.

McGuire spoke of his first impression of the cemetery.

The grave of Gershom J. Palmer, 11, one of the few names McGuire wasn’t familiar with prior to visiting Perkins Cemetery. Palmer will be part of McGuire’s ongoing research once he returns home to Rhode Island.

“I arrived with the expectation it was going to be overgrown, vandalized and ravaged, and damaged by time ... I wasn’t disappointed. I was surprised though at how much it’s deteriorated since the photos I saw from about 15 years ago. I don’t understand people who would come to a place like this and damage graves. Nature has done a fine job on its own ripping this cemetery apart; it didn’t need any help,” he said.

McGuire did some raking, trimming and moving of fallen trees in his attempt to identify the final resting places of his family members, but he was mindful of the fading condition of the area. He pointed to a burnt tree stump as a sign someone had once used fire to clear the growth.

“It’s not a good idea to burn in an old cemetery; the stones are so fragile they’ll crack and break. This place is pretty much a disaster; I had to divorce myself from the emotion that my historical family cemetery was lost, but I had to try and clean up a little,” he said.

Cemetery From Page 2 McGuire said every single one of the people laid to rest there was a relative.

His great-grandmother was Minnie Perkins, and her father was John Wallace Perkins. There’s also Mary Ann and Jeffery Perkins, Rachel Whitmore and Mary and Elizabeth Long.

McGuire began doing his genealogical research about 12 years ago.

“It all started with a little blue notebook I found in Grandma Minnie’s old stuff,” he said.

McGuire also made some discoveries which will continue to fuel his ongoing research.

“I don’t recognize John Drake, and there’s also

LaMoille From Page 1 “We’re talking about shutting Van Orin down because we have three schools on three different campuses,” LaMoille School Board Vice President Kevin Anderson said.

“It’s inefficient.”

“We can argue back and forth about the three buildings and which one’s better, but we just don’t have the enrollment for all three,” Superintendent Ricardo Espinoza said.

Currently, Van Orin hous-

Gershom J. Palmer, 11, so I have to figure out how they’re connected. You do learn things by coming to places like this,” he said.

Along with the grave of Corporal Long, McGuire also found and placed a flag on the grave of another Civil War veteran, Long’s nephew, Samuel C. Haynes.

He said, “I also found George Cottrell, a Civil War veteran of Company B in the 108th Illinois Infantry. Part of what we do as the Sons (SUVCW) is find where veterans are buried and put them in our database. We want to say we’ve located as many Union soldiers as possible. George isn’t there, so I’ve found a Civil War veteran to register, and I’ll be reporting it at the national encampment.”

McGuire was able to leave something tying him and his family of long ago to their Rhode Island roots. He placed a marker for Rhode Island veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic at Long’s grave.

The markers were manufactured in Rhode Island in the late 1800s by the Jenks Foundry.

“At some point this was taken from a cemetery, which is clearly illegal and disrespectful. We find them at flea markets, antique stores and on eBay. My friend reclaimed this from a flea market, and after hearing what I was doing, asked if I wanted a Jenks marker to give to Levi Long. I restored it to bring here and place on his grave,” he said.

McGuire amazingly found another Rhode

Island connection among the dirt and growth.

“This is a Quahog clam shell, native to Rhode Island. It’s tradition where I’m from to place these shells on our family’s graves.” McGuire said, while holding up a large white clam shell in remarkably good condition.

McGuire contemplated the future of the cemetery when he said, “I’m almost resigned to ... this is it. I’d like to imagine this being restored, but there’s also something poetic about it going back to nature ... in an ashes to ashes, we all return to dust kind of way. Now there’s the question of how many more people will ever set foot in here again. Me? I’ll be back.”

es kindergarten through third-grade students, and the enrollment sits at around 44 students. Allen houses fourth- through eighth-grade students with about 100 children enrolled there. There are 93 students at the high school, also located in LaMoille.

Some community members voiced their uneasiness for the proposal.

“If we’re not adding on an addition, we don’t have space here,” said Tina Klein, considering the possibility of the younger kids being in the Allen building’s basement. “We have

to think about the learning environment. Are they going to be stuck in a dungeon down there?”

Tara Robinson, kindergarten through eighthgrade math specialist, spoke as a parent.

“I don’t think that having kindergarten in Allen should be an option,” she said, referring to the sets of stairs. “To me that’s a dangerous situation. You’re putting yourself in a liability situation with all those steps.”

One reason behind these particular suggestions is the previous referendum

for an addition had been shot down, but community members say an addition is not out of the question; they just did not like the details that had been suggested.

“I voted no to the referendum, not that I’m opposed to building,” Klein said. “I didn’t like the plans.”

Cindy Martin, who was in attendance at the meeting, spoke about what she has heard around town “What I’m hearing out in the community from people I’ve talked to is they’d like to see a little less, and they’d like it to be on the

“The court’s ruling was unanimous, and less than 5 percent of these appeals are ever heard,” Mauch said.

The company said that it has no other recourse than to appeal the latest court ruling, but that it won’t be alone it its efforts.

“Rock Island Clean Line will work alongside the Illinois Commerce Commission, consumer groups, labor unions, and others to appeal the Third District Appellate Court ruling,” Clean Line told Sauk Valley Media earlier this week.

company said the decision, if allowed to stand, ultimately will hurt consumers.

“It would create barriers to competition that would lead to higher electricity prices in Illinois,” the company said. “It’s important the decision is overturned so that the Rock Island Clean Line and future infrastructure projects are able to move forward and provide long-term benefits to the state.”

The ICC’s 2014 decision unanimously determined the project satisfied the state’s public use standard, citing competitive benefits and the clean energy element derived from wind.

Clean Line also argues the economic impact of the project would be substantial. It estimates that

Mitchell left home at the age of 10 and found a job on a farm, earning $1 per week plus his board; he quickly learned to do the work of a regular farm laborer.

When he was 12, Mitchell went into the mines in Braidwood and attended night school, and in 1886 he came to Spring Valley — two years after the first mine shaft was opened by the Spring Valley Coal Co. Not long after his arrival, he set out for coal mines in Colorado, where he learned a great deal about commitment to hard work.

Mitchell was made a master workman of the Knights of Labor, and before the age of 30, he was elected the fifth President of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA).

He built the membership from 43,000 to 300,000, and formed a strong friendship with Theodore Roosevelt due to his work in the Pennsylvania coal strike of 1902.

As Mitchell struggled to gain ground for the rights of coal mine workers throughout the years, he earned the respect and admiration of countless individuals and was eventually hailed as “the father of the eight-hour day.” If Mitchell had consented, the Democratic Party would have made him their candidate for Illinois governor, and he was mentioned as a nomi-

“Spring Valley was founded on the rich natural assets found under the earth, namely coal,” Ladgenski said, noting those humble beginnings attracted a diverse group of people both in nationality and skill. “John Mitchell was one who rose above his background and lack of education to become an esteemed national figure, working alongside President Teddy Roosevelt.

In addition, five crows have also tested positive for the virus throughout the county this year.

According to Chris Pozzi, director of environmental health, “This is the time of year we expect to see the potential for human cases increase. Even as we move into the fall months with fluctuating temperatures, it is important to protect yourself against mosquito bites and possible West Nile virus

The art of bill paying There are a lot of things in this world I love to do. Likewise, there are just as many things in my life that don’t thrill me all that much. And then there are the things I detest — tasks I must do that shatter my last nerve. FortuTerri nately those detested Simon items aren’t many in number, but when it COMMENTARY comes time to tackle each one, I would rather lie down in traffic than perform any of these dreaded duties.

What could possibly be so bad? What obligations could be so detrimental to my increasingly fragile psyche that I’m almost to the point of hiring someone to perform these duties for me? You’re going to think I’ve lost all sense of reality when I tell you what one of my worst tasks is — the one that causes me to pop open a bottle of Chardonnay before I even attempt to begin; the one that gives me a headache hours before I know I have to perform this obligatory and monthly duty; the one that makes me think of lying down in traffic rather than having to do this one more time.

Are you ready? I absolutely hate to pay bills. Right now, I know you are saying, “Suck it up, Ter. You’re an adult, and that’s what adults do.” I know that. I know there are adult things none of us like to attend to, but for some reason, bill-paying day is one of my absolutely horrendous obligations that causes me all kinds of grief.

Don’t even send me emails about automatic withdrawals and bill paying online, since I don’t trust either option. I’m so old fashioned when it comes to sending my money to those I owe that I put myself through all kinds of chaos to keep from the technological endeavor of having it done with a click of a mouse.

A typical bill-paying day starts crossing my mind the minute my feet hit the floor in the morning. Rather than start early with a hot cup of coffee to boost my energy level, I put it off all day long as the ugly task keeps eating at me throughout the day. By the time I sit down at my kitchen island, I’m so angry at what lies before me — a stack of bills I owe (OK, there’s probably about eight); a stack of bills I’m helping my mom pay (probably the same amount); a huge stack of what I deem to be junk mail, which still requires me to open each envelope and then tear our names into oblivion for fear of identity theft; and the always huge pile of magazines, catalogs and other (sorry) crap.

In the throes of this horrible mess, I also have a calculator, stamps, a pen I like, return address labels, tape (I’ll explain that one in a minute), two checkbooks and a garbage bag. My huge kitchen island is filled and overflowing, ... just like my head.

OK, the art of writing out checks isn’t that big of a deal. We’ve all done it for years, but as those years have crept up on me, the job is far less simple than it used to be. Here are just a sampling of my issues: • I write out the bill; make a note on the other part of the bill that includes the amount I wrote the check for, the check number and the date and enclose it in the envelope. Wait a minute ... did I sign the check? Tear open the envelope (thus the need for the tape), and yes or no ... the check was or wasn’t signed.

• Do the aforementioned things to get the check ready, lick the envelope ... and then realize I forgot to put the check in that envelope. Ditto on the need for tape.

• Why is the Mediacom check still on the counter, when the envelope is sealed, but the cell phone check is missing? Of course the cell phone check is in the Mediacom envelope. Tape to the rescue.

While some of you might think the Chardonnay has something to do with this fiasco, let me assure you I’ve tried it without the cork, and the mess is equally ugly ... if not uglier. Quite frankly, I finish this seemingly endless task in such a bad mood that I’m tempted to uncork another — and I’m not in the bad mood for having to spend the money (that’s another column), rather the entire dog and pony show I have to go through to accomplish it all.

I tell people all the time ... I’m pretty good with words, not so good with numbers. I rest my case.

Bad habits The dog and I got into an argument this morning. I know that I’ve said I would try to not write about my dog so much; but I took a long, hard look at my life the other day, and I soon realized that a large portion of my time centers around Norman’s eating habits, bowel movements and kidney functions.

So here we go again.

I would like to say this argument was an anomaly, that I don’t verbally spar with the family canine very often, but alas, it’s pretty much a daily occurrence. Heck, who am I kidding, we get into it practically every time we have a heart-to-heart conversation. I’m trying to convince him, while he’s still a pup, that he needs to start making better decisions and to stop leading a life of bad habits. I do a lot of yelling and wild gesticulating with my arms and hands, and he just looks at me with his head cocked to the side and his tongue hanging out.

This morning, our heated discussion was about holes. When he goes outside in the morning to do his bathroom thing, he invariably digs a hole or two. Or three. Possibly four. But never more than 23.

Well, maybe occasionally more than 23. I guess that it depends on your definition of the word “hole.”

It used to be that when Norman found evidence of a mole hill, he would dig straight down a foot or two in search of the subterranean rodents. But now, instead of digging vertically, he likes to shallowly dig out the entire horizontal length of the mole run. Technically, this could be considered more of a “trench” than a “hole.” Semantics are everything when you’re yelling at your dog.

Greg Wallace COMMENTARY Yesterday our conversation was centered around an old glove that he found down in the barn. At least I think that he found it in the barn.

It’s hard to say for sure. He’ll drag anything and everything from anywhere and bring it out into the yard.

This glove happened to be the item of the moment. He was prancing across the lawn, proud as a peacock, flipping this torn-up blue glove into the air and then catching it and flipping it again. Every time I would walk toward him to retrieve the wayward garment, he would take off in the other direction. What a jerk.

He looks at me when I’m eating.

It doesn’t matter what I’m jamming into my face at any given time, but he’ll sit there semi-patiently and just stare. Hold onto your undies if I accidentally drop any food before it gets to my mouth. He usually snatches it out of thin air before it has a chance to hit the ground. The dog has no manners whatsoever.

At night, while I’m peacefully sleeping, he chews up my socks.

He’s done this on several occasions now. Every time I wake up and find the mangled hosiery on the floor, I loudly lecture the beast. My wife asks me where Norman found the socks. I tell her he found them in the middle of the bedroom floor, where I left them when I went to sleep. She rolls her eyes at me and mutters something under her

breath about me being a slob. My wife has no manners either.

And then there’s the never ending flatulence. It used to be kind of cool to have somebody else to blame any and all funky odors on, but that dog passes more natural gas than a pipeline. I’m not sure what all is loitering in that digestive system of his, but it’s really difficult to enjoy “Bachelor in Paradise” when your eyes are constantly watering.

These are just a few of the bad habits that Norman has picked up during his young life. Add to these his penchant for playing in mud puddles, pulling whole stalks of corn from the field, crotch sniffing, Meow Mix eating and toilet drinking, I’m afraid he’s heading down the wrong road.

He’ll never be able to get into a good school or find a rewarding profession.

As a last resort, I’m considering holding a canine intervention. All of his dog buddies could come over and corner him in a room and read him heartfelt letters to try and get him back on the righteous path of the straight and narrow. He might have to spend a few months at one of those treatment clinics to get cleaned up, but I think that it would be well worth the effort.

But I know what would happen.

Whenever you get a room full of dogs, all they want to do is drink beer, smoke cigars and play poker.

I’ve seen the painting.

I have to go now. Norman’s in the room, and I need some Visine.

New physician, more space at Hygienic Institute LASALLE — A LaSalle-Peru High School graduate who left home to study medicine is back in the Illinois Valley as the Hygienic Institute’s newest physician.

Yesenia Valdez, MD, who speaks both English and Spanish, is now receiving patients at the Hygienic after completing her family medicine residency at the University of Illinois at Chicago Hospital. She earned her medical degree from the UIC College of Medicine after obtaining a UIC undergraduate degree in biochemistry.

While a medical resident, Valdez treated an average of 25 patients a day as a staff physician for a Chicago urgent care clinic.

Valdez joins Kara Fess, MD, as a second family practice physician at the Hygienic.

All Web Promotion wins challenge Employees visit Google headquarters OGLESBY — All Web Promotion recently won the Google Partner Mobile Challenge, earning employees a trip to Google headquarters in Mountain View, Calif.

“We are incredibly honored to be recognized by Google,” All Web Promotion co-owner Michael Roebuck said. “It just goes to show that we are a leader not only in the Illinois Valley but in the nation.”

This past quarter, Google challenged its partners to increase the number of mobile friendly client websites to their AdWords client management account within the quarter. All Web

was one of the Top 10 Google partners in the United States and Canada for the contest and were jetted to Google headquarters to meet with representatives and record marketing videos in the Google studios.

They had the opportunity to discuss All Web’s approaches to digital marketing and learn how Google can best assist them in promoting the company’s clients. It was a rare opportunity to directly get information from the search giant.

“It was great to get the information straight from the source,” marketing account manager Doneida Larsen said. “These are people that we are still in contact with and work with us on a regular basis.”

In addition to meeting with members of the Google account strategy and partner teams, they had the opportunity to create professional quality videos at the Google Hangout Studios. The videos, which are available to view on YouTube, go over the company’s recent promotion to Premiere Google Partner and its numerous services including web design, pay-per-click advertising, social media management, search engine optimization and email marketing.

Growmark reports 2016 financial results CHICAGO – Growmark announced its estimated financial results for Fiscal Year 2016, which runs from Sept. 1, 2015, through Aug. 31, 2016.

Growmark Chief Executive Officer Jim Spradlin reported unaudited, estimated sales of $7.1 billion, down from $8.7 billion last year. Pretax income is

estimated at $103 million, down from $134 million last year. An estimated $52 million in patronage refunds will be returned to Growmark member cooperatives and farmer-owners.

“The ag economy is in a challenging cycle,” said Spradlin. “Many of our farmer-members and customers are feeling eco-

nomic, regulatory and environmental pressures.

While we do believe the economic cycle will end with a soft landing, it could certainly be a few years before stronger demand reappears. We remain very optimistic in the long-term outlook for food demand and production,” he added.

Tigers ‘uninspired’ against Alleman

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Princeton coach David Gray didn’t have to say anything to his Tigers after Thursday’s soccer match at Bryant Field with Rock Island Alleman. They played uninspired and he said they knew it.

While the Tigers got an early first-half goal by Brett Schenck, it did little to inspire the Tigers the rest of the way. The Pioneers scored midway through the first half and early in the second to hand the Tigers a 2-1 defeat.

“We were in a funk and couldn’t get out of it. Feel like it was an overall poor performance,” Gray said.

“We lacked energy, lacked intelligent play, didn’t win a whole lot of the 50-50s balls, didn’t really work to posses the ball. (Had) a lot of slide tackles. I think that was because we were lazy instead of getting in position. We were kind of diving at the ball.

“Pretty disappointing effort. I would have thought (for the) first home game we would we have come out with more energy, but we didn’t.”

Gray said the Tigers may be feeling the effects of a busy schedule at the Oregon Tournament last weekend and a match Tuesday, Aug. 30, at Sterling.

“Maybe we were still fatigued. We had a brutal part of our schedule. We didn’t do much at practice last night and rested.

I would have thought we would have bounced back a little bit,” he said. “We have a week off before we play again so hopefully we get our legs under us, get

Notebook PHS-Sterling soccer highlights go viral

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

For the second time in 14 months, a Bureau County sports team has gone viral.

The St. Bede Bruins baseball team became famous last year, with coach Bill Booker likening them to “movie stars,” when their hidden-ball trick, fake pick-off throw in the IHSA State Tournament was touted on ESPN’s Top Plays of the Day. The Princeton Tiger soccer team

went viral for its match against Sterling Tuesday, and was shown on ESPN and FOX Sports. Unfortunately for PHS, the highlights were of two amazing goals by Sterling’s Tony Diaz at the Tigers’ expense. Here’s a link https:// search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=fox+soccer+high+school+scores+two+goals+&ei=UTF-8&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-001.

Notebook Page 12

DIXON – The Princeton volleyball team could feel one final run coming on. Unfortunately, the Tigresses couldn’t make it over the top.

After splitting the first two sets Thursday in Dixon, the teams made runs at each other the entire third set before the Duchesses pulled out a 25-17, 13-25, 25-21 victory at Lancaster Gym. Dixon (2-1) never trailed in the decisive third set, but Princeton (0-4) tied the score at 3, 6, 8 and 15, then pulled within 22-21 on a Kate Vigars’ ace before the Duchesses finished things off.

“The momentum [from the second set] just kept going, and we pushed through that whole third set,” PHS senior Courtney Oeder said. “We believed that we could come back and pull it out, we just came up a little short.”

After Dixon controlled the first set thanks mostly to senior libero Ashlyn Horn’s seven aces, Princ-

eton came back strong in the second set. Leading 8-5, the Tigresses got some breathing room thanks to a pair of outof-system kills by Anna Murray, then got a kill and four stuff blocks down the stretch from Oeder to maintain control.

Abby Scaggs’ dig of a Dixon kill attempt sailed back over the net and found the court for the final point, after backto-back Oeder blocks answered two kills by Dixon senior Jessa Long and a block by junior Alyssa Kruger.

“We just believed in ourselves, and just shook that first game off,” said Oeder, who finished with seven kills and six stuff blocks.

“We kept the ball in play in the second game, just kept putting the pressure on them, and as their confidence went down, ours kept going up.”

The third set was full of three- and four-point mini-runs by each team.

Anna Murray’s kill put Princeton on the board

2016 Tennis Preview

Changes abound in Tigresses’ lineup

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Longtime Princeton tennis coach Connie Lind has never made wholesale changes to her starting lineup after the season has started like she has this year. The changes have stemmed from injuries and getting girls in the right places.

“Never in all my years of coaching did I ever completely change my lineup after we started the season; maybe tweak positions here and

there. The girls are taking this all in stride,” Lind said.

Senior captain Jessica Krohn opened at No. 1 singles, but has a shoulder issue, Lind said.

Classmate Madalyn Robbins has taken over at No. 1 singles after starting out at No. 1 doubles. Lind said Robbins is playing more comfortable in singles, using her serves and ability to place shots to her strength.

Junior Emma Proffitt also started the season in doubles (No. 3), but has now moved to

No. 2 singles. Lind said she is a steady player and continues to improve her game.

Seniors Anna Zehr and Julia Prushinski started out at No. 2 doubles, but have now moved up to No. 1. Lind said the right-handed Zehr and lefty Prushinski play well together, play aggressive and are not afraid to control the net.

Senior captain Alison Brown has a new partner at No. 2 doubles in classmate Kiara Tate, who started out playing No. 2 singles, and they are working

hard to get used to each other, Lind said. Brown saw time at No. 1 doubles last year with the graduated Elise Blocki filling in for the injured Mallory Wheeler.

Juniors Mary Jeanne Brown and Maddie Eckard have stepped up from playing No. 1 doubles for the F/S last year to No. 3 doubles for the varsity this year. Lind said they are learning to switch from an 8-game pro set to two out of

IHSA splits tennis ranks ​The IHSA has established two classes for tennis for the first time this season. Princeton and St. Bede will play in 1A, which has a cutoff enrollment of 1,377 for girls and 1,441 for boys.

While PHS coach Connie said the PHS teams will still play schools a lot bigger than they are “it’s more of an equalizer when you qualify for state.”

The IHSA is holding two separate state tournaments and will re-evaluate at the end of the school year.

some confidence. I know the boys are disappointed.

They don’t have to hear it much from me.”

Schenck got the Tigers on the board with an unassisted goal inside the 18-yard marker in the 12th minute.

“We got a through ball and he had to kind of fight off a tackle and out it in. Looked like it took a small deflection off and went off above the goal,” Gray said.

The Pioneers evened the scored with a goal by Tommy Schmitt in the 26th minute.

Alleman scored what would be the game-winner 14 minutes into the second half on a goal by Evan Gryp.

“We talked about winning the 50-50s, somebody providing some energy. We never found it,” Gray said. “Credit Rock Island. They played good, they deserved to win. I think we’re more disappointed in this one than Tuesday because I don’t think we were ever mentally in this one.”

The Pioneers outshot the Tigers 15-13 on the night with freshman keeper Ian Sampson making six games on the PHS goal.

three sets for varsity.

Rounding out the varsity squad are seniors Gabriella Gerber, Lila Minnick, Natalee Theobald and juniors Alexis Borg, Alesha Foster, Jessica Gleason, Margarita Gomez, Kylee Mallery, Kaitlin May, Chelsea Piper, Emma Roden and Chloe Sterling.

Lind is hopeful the Tigresses will be placed in the L-P Sectional in the new Class 1A format.

There are 27 girls out for the F/S squad, including Allison Blocki, Aly Borys, Lydia Brown, Nicole Carlone, Mayah Carlson, Gen Charry, Abbigail Davis, Maddie Devert, Abby Dionne, Calina Durey, Shea Dzurisin, Emily Fisher, Grace Glancy, Kaitlynn Grabill, Shaela Hayes, Julia Hochstatter, Kamilla Klingenberg, Riley Lucas, Allyson Murray, Terrianne Oestel, Julia Purvis, Sophia Rucinksi, Hallie Taets Anjelique Taylor, Nyla Thompson, Kaewta Usaphrom and Victoria Wallace.

Notebook From Page 11 “It is sort of neat, even though we were on the wrong side of the highlight,” PHS coach David Gray said.

The clip was supposed to be all about the exploits and talents of Sterling’s Diaz. However, as the highlights hit social media, some unflattering comments were thrown the Tigers’ way.

Gray took exceptions.

“I do not like that people are taking shots at my team from a 30-sec-

ond highlight. People who have no understanding of the context of the goals scored or the level of the two teams,” Gray said.

“In the end, the nature of the highlight and the comments that have been put underneath has only served to be a challenge to the team’s confidence. Overall, I wish it would have not captured as much attention. My boys have played seven good matches and one poor one. The poor match is the one that ends up being highlighted. It’s not fair to my boys who have struggled and worked their butts off.”

St. Bede Hall of Fame

The St. Bede Academy Athletic Department has announced the inductees into the Hall of Fame for the Class of 2016. They are to be enshrined Saturday, Oct. 7, during homecoming week at the academy.

This year’s HOF class includes cousins, Lee Andreoni (Class of 1960) and Michael Andreoni (2002), Michael Padilla (2002), Alec Schwab (2011), Dr. Goodwin Toraason, posthumously (Class of 1940) and Nicholas Potthoff (1996). The 197475 basketball team and the 1956 baseball team will also be inducted.

St. Bede

The St. Bede Lady Bruins have also faced change with new coach Josh Theisinger taking over for Mike Lau, who resigned. Theisinger is a former tennis player at LaSalle-Peru High School (2008).

The new Bruins coach inherits a squad 11 deep, including seniors Eva Bennett, Julia Browning (No. 1 singles), Allison Koyak and Lauren Silfies, juniors Hailey Ator, Jordan Kraml and Maggie Smith, sophomores Kaitlyn Kapraun and Pamela Needs, and freshmen Kelly Considine and Claudia Orteza.

Theisinger said having 11 girls is a great situation because everyone gets to play.

“It means everyone is getting the experience of being out on the court against other teams. It pushes them out of their comfort zones of playing with their friends at practice which is what I want to see. We can only improve our games by playing others,” he said.

The new coach said his squad has a wide variety of experience.

“These girls mesh really well with each other so, as a first-year coach, coming into a group like this has been extremely easy for me,” he said. “Some girls have been playing for all four years if not longer, and some have decided that this is their first year to pick up the sport, so it’s great that my veterans have stepped up and helped during practices and meets to make all of our newer additions feel welcomed.”

Tigresses From Page 11 after Dixon reeled off the first three points, then Vigars served another ace later on to tie the score at 6.

An Oeder kill and an Oeder point tied it at 8, then a kill

by Sara Grieff and an ace from Sarah Murray pulled the Tigresses within 11-10.

Down 14-10, Anna Murray followed a Dixon service error with a tip-kill, then a net violation by the Duchesses made it 14-13.

Two more Anna Murray tip-kills tied the score at 15.

“We talked about when we get down by one or two points, not to let it end up as a five- or six- or seven-point deficit, like we did in the first set,” Princeton coach Andy Puck said. “I thought we did a lot better job of that in the third set.”

A kill by Maddie Forristall stopped a Dixon run, and sparked the Tigers’ final surge. A Dixon hitting error and Vigars’ final ace brought Princeton within 22-21, and forced a Dixon timeout.

One final Princeton hitting error gave the Duchesses the victory.

Anna Murray finished with 13 points, seven kills and three digs for Princeton, and Vigars added 10 points, three aces and three assists. Corinne Peterson had seven points and six digs.

“We made a lot of timid errors in that third set, and we’ve got to work on that,” Puck said. “Before that second set, Mikayla Wilhelm got in the huddle and pumped the girls up, and we attacked like we should, got aggressive and kept the ball in play and kept the momentum, and we showed what we’re capable of.

“We know what we need to work on, and I’m definitely staying positive with this team. I know we’re going to win a lot of matches; we just happened to start out with four really good teams right off the bat.”

BUREAU VALLEY 36, ST. BEDE 24

Davis leads BV to win Runs for 4 touchdowns, 88-yard interception to key victory

BY DAN DWYER sports@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — Junior Drake Davis and the Bureau Valley Storm showed why they are the ranked in the state as they came away with a huge 36-24 Three Rivers Athletic Conference match up Friday in Manlius.

The BV signal caller and starting defensive back accounted for all five touchdowns for the Storm including four rushing touchdowns on 20 carries for 59 yards and an 88-yard pick six with 1:01 to play in the game to seal the Storm’s second victory of the season.

“I wasn’t going down,” Drake Davis said of the game clinching interception and runback. “I almost dropped it but I saw the opening and I went for it. I had to put the dagger in.”

Bryant Eustice tried to match Davis with a seven-yard scamper to tie the game with 5:08 left in the first half but it was all Storm all night from then on as the Storm scored 22 unanswered points before giving up a safety and an 11-yard scamper by senior Adam Poundstone.

“They’re a good team and they’re very well coached,” SBA coach Jim Eustice said. “It’s just breakdowns and when interceptions happen they can look like one guy’s fault

when they’re not, it’s a team game and we just have to get better in the red zone. The last two weeks the red zone has killed us and we have to get better.”

BV got the ball rolling in the direction as Drake Davis stepped in to the path of a Bryant Eustice pass and took it down to the four yard line.

Davis scored on the Storm’s very first offensive play from scrimmage as he raced around the left end and extended to ball towards the pylon and into the end zone for the first of his five scores on the night.

“I give all the credit for my touchdowns to my line and my teammates,” Drake Davis said. “I couldn’t have did what I did tonight without them.”

ROCK FALLS 53, MENDOTA 48

Victory is theirs Rockets’ passing game unstoppable in win over Trojans

BY BRIAN WEIDMAN bweidman@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5551 @BrianWeidman

MENDOTA – With 1 minute, 22 seconds remaining in Friday’s game against Mendota, Rock Falls coach Rich Montgomery called a timeout to work in a new play.

He wanted to make sure the Rockets could execute the victory formation.

They did, albeit with an offsides penalty, and pulled off a wild 53-48 victory against the Trojans at the Mendota Athletic Complex.

The Rockets (2-0, 2-0 Big Northern), who snapped a 25-game losing streak last week against Rockford Christian, have won their first two games for the first time since 2003.

They also avenged a 57-7 loss to Mendota in 2015, the Trojans’ only win last season.

“This is the best feeling ever,” senior wide receiver Roger Carlson said. “Last year when Mendota ran the score up on us, we gave up. We weren’t going to give up again this year. When it was 42-21, we weren’t going to let ’em go.”

Rock Falls trailed 28-7 late in the second quarter, but a touchdown pass from Logan Pillars to Carlson just before halftime gave the Rockets some hope. It turned out

to be the start of something big.

After opening the second half with a 3-and-out, Rock Falls scored on five consecutive possessions, with the passing game clicking on all cylinders. Pillars completed 25 passes, including 16 after halftime, for 412 yards and six touchdowns.

Carlson (10-172, 3 TDs) and Michael Berentes (9-97, 3 TDs) were his top targets.

“Offensively, we believed that we could throw on them, and obviously that came true in the second half,” Montgomery said. “We made a few tweaks, they gave us a couple of turnovers, and that was the difference. The guys just showed some resilience. When you’re trying to learn how to win, sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you earn it. These guys fought hard the whole night. They earned it.”

A 2-yard TD from from Blake Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com Wind with 9:25 left in the fourth Rock Falls’ Logan Pillars throws a pass against Mendota on Friday night. quarter put Rock Falls ahead 53-42, but Mendota (0-2, 0-2) did not go quietly. The Trojans got a The Red Zone short TD run from Jake Temple, Player of the game: Logan Pillars, Rock Falls, 412 yards passing, 6 TDs his fourth of the game, to slice the deficit to 53-48 with 7:10 to go.

He said it: “This senior group, we don’t want to lose a game. If that’s realistic or Mendota had another possesnot, I don’t care, but we don’t want to lose a game. It’s as simple as that.” – Rock sion in which it reached the Rock Falls quarterback Logan Pillars Falls 28, but a big fourth-down First name Up next: Genoa-Kingston at Rock Falls, 7 p.m. Friday stop by Rock Falls safety Isaiah Last name Harris stopped the drive.

COMMENTARY

New leaf turned by Rockets It had been a while – 1 year to be exact – since I had covered a Rock Falls football game.

The memory was not a pleasant one.

It was a mercy rule game against Marengo. In fairness, for a Rocket team in the midst of a long losing streak trying to find its way, an encounter with an ornery posse of Indians that would eventually advance to the Class 4A semifinals was no way to get things turned around.

Before that, my previous coverage of the Rockets was at Oregon in 2014. Two things stood out about that game. First, Rock Falls refused to punt, even from deep in its own territory. The result was predictable – short fields for the Hawks all night.

Second, the game was essentially over by the second quarter.

It was only a matter of how many touchdowns the Hawks felt like scoring. The best thing about the game was I could get to McDonalds to file my story, and still have to get back to the office in time to help put the sports section to bed.

Fast forward to Friday night.

Rock Falls at Mendota. The Rockets were coming in sky-high, after beating Rockford Christian last week. OK, let’s see if they can make it two in a row.

Damned if they didn’t!

Rock Falls didn’t stop the Mendota rushing attack all night, but still, the Rockets found a way. The obvious reason is a passing attack that produced 412 yards and six touchdown passes from senior quarterback Logan Pillars. There were some other big reasons.

Rock Falls didn’t commit a turnover, while Mendota had three.

The Rockets were also solid on special teams. They recovered an onside kick when they were down 42-29, with Scott Spears playing the role of Johnny-on -the-spot and pouncing on a loose ball to fuel a rally.

And Rock Falls punted the ball! The first one of those was a 34-yard beauty by Pillars that was downed on the Mendota 4-yard line by Blake Wind.

That one play showed me a lot.

And maybe, just maybe, something really special is brewing in Rock Falls.

EASTLAND-PEARL CITY 32, WEST CARROLL 14

Early tone-setters After fast start, Wildcatz run wild over Thunder

BY CODY CUTTER ccutter@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5552 @CodyCutter35

SAVANNA – Nine weeks passed last season before Eastland-Pearl City won a pair of games.

This year, they have won their first pair in as many weeks to start the season.

With Jayden Kempel’s 80-yard kickoff return to open the game, the Wildcatz set the tone early in a 32-14 win over the West Carroll Thunder at W.F. Massey Field in Savanna.

Kempel was touched only twice as he sprinted along the center of the field for an 8-0 lead after Keegan Schubert punched in a 2-point try.

The Wildcatz’s offensive line continued to create large holes, as they had their way with the Thunder (2-0, 2-0 NUIC Northwest) in the following drive. EPC’s rushing corps of Schubert, Jayden Kempel and Jarod Kempel combined for six first-down runs on 12 plays with few touches by the Thunder defense. Schubert capped the drive with a 1-yard dive with 2:51 left in the opening quarter.

West Carroll ran a five-front with three tackles, and the sight was a pretty one for junior 6-foot,

7-inch, 320-pound left tackle Payton Asche.

“We like down-blocking,” Asche said. “We like having those three tacks [tackles]. We work on it a lot, double-teams, down-blocking, all that stuff. That’s what we like to do.”

Schubert tallied 90 of his gamehigh 183 yards in the first half on 10 carries for the Wildcatz (2-0, 2-0), while the Thunder could only muster 53 rushing yards during the same time.

The Thunder milked plenty of clock to start the third quarter.

The drive concluded with a passing TD connection between twin brothers Kaleb and Kody Plattenberger from 5 yards out to gave the Thunder their first points of the season. Kody Plattenberger’s 2-point pass to Kaleb Hartman narrowed the Wildcatz’s lead to Craig Lang/Shaw Media 16-8.

DIXON 24, OREGON 7

Dukes ‘D’-up Hawks Wilcox, Cox lead Dixon through the air, on the ground

BY ERIC INGLES eingles@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5555 @Eric_Ingles

OREGON – Dixon got touchdowns passing and rushing from Noah Wilcox in the first half, and a lot of production from Arthur Cox in the second half to beat Oregon 24-7 on Friday at Landers-Loomis Field.

After the Dukes’ defense stopped Oregon on the Hawks’ first two drives, the Dixon offense turned decent field position into points. Wilcox got the scoring started, finding Jared Harrison on a post route as Harrison rumbled 50 yards for the score.

“I was looking at the linebackers and they were following my eyes,” Wilcox said. “I looked off the linebackers and went backside.”

Wilcox then took a read-option into the end zone.

Cox took over in the second half, rushing 12 times for 75 yards, including eight carries and two catches on a scoring drive early in the third quarter. He capped off the drive by catching a pass in the left flat and diving for the pylon to score.

“They called X-screen, and I thought I could make the

corner[back] miss and just dive,” Cox said.

Oregon’s offense struggled to get on track, gaining 16 yards in its first two drives. The Hawks started to get production from running backs Caleb Mennen and Jacob Cullen later in the half, leading to a touchdown with 8.8 seconds to go in the second quarter when Caid Chenoweth found Brandon Ramirez in the end zone.

“We kind of tried everything the first time through,” Oregon coach John Bothe said. “We kind of had to find out what worked.

They’re very good on defense, very big and physical and aggressive.”

Dixon stopped the Hawks on fourth down four times in the game, including the final two Oregon drives.

“Our defense has taken a lot of criticism, and they’ve taken that and channeled it into improving themselves,” Dixon coach Dave Smith said. “They played it against a very good Oregon team, and we did what we had to do tonight.”

Dixon’s final score came from a 42-yard punt return by Elijiah McGlown with 1:04 left in the third quarter.

MORRISON 13, PRINCETON 12

This one’s for ‘P Cook’ Fischbach’s PAT lifts Mustangs past Princeton

BY KEVIN HIERONYMUS khieronymus@bcrnews.com

MORRISON — Ethan Fischbach was kicking for all of his teammates on the field and for one looking down on the field Friday night at Bud Cole Field.

Fischbach kicked the goahead point-after-touchdown, clearing the crossbar by just inches to lift the Morrison Mustangs to a 13-12 victory over Princeton.

“I’m kicking for everyone.

This whole season is for my whole team and I’m kicking for P Cook,” Fischbach said. “He was a good friend of mine. He helped me with everything.”

“P Cook” is the nickname for the late Payton Cook, a Morrison junior student who died in an automobile accident this spring.

The Tigers and Mustangs traded touchdowns in the second quarter and again in the first half. Princeton missed both PAT attempts; the first kick was blocked and the second missed. Fischbach also missed his first attempt.

Fischbach got a second chance after Morrison quar-

terback Dylan Keller dove in to the goal line from 5 yards out with 6:57 left to play. Fischbach, who didn’t play football last year, admitted he was pretty nervous when he lined up his second attempt.

“I missed my first one, and realized what I needed to do,” he said.

Princeton coach Jesse Snyder, whose Tigers opened with a 40-20 win over Riverdale last week, said it was a tough loss to take.

“I think any game’s tough to lose, especially when you have high expectations,” he said. “I got to give it to Morrison. They did a nice job of execution and doing the things they need to do to be successful.”

Morrison drew first blood when Aaron Deter scored from 1 yard out with 2:29 left to put the Mustangs ahead 6-0.

Princeton evened the scored on a 10-yard scamper by junior quarterback Garrett Allen. The PAT was blocked for a 6-6 halftime tie.

Allen put the Tigers ahead with 1:06 left in the third quarter on a 16-yard strike to Colton Youngren.

STERLING 54, PEKIN 13

Warriors waltz to win Sterling’s air assault overwhelms Dragons

BY JIM HAAS Special to SVM

PEKIN – Before Friday night, Sterling and Pekin had never met on the football field.

Afterward, the host Dragons may have second thoughts before honoring next year’s back half of the 2-year contract.

The fifth-ranked (5A) Golden Warriors got three touchdown passes and two scoring runs from quarterback Trey Morse, and took advantage of seven Pekin turnovers to waltz to a 54-13 victory at Memorial Stadium.

Sterling rolled up 523 yards in total offense and jetted to a 37-6 halftime lead, then set a running clock in motion when Latrell Vaughn’s 69-yard touchdown run pushed the margin to 47-6 on the final play of the third quarter.

“It was a good test for us because we weren’t able to run the ball as well as we normally do,” Sterling head coach Jon Schlemmer said. “They shut down our run game, and we had to do some things on the perimeter, and I was happy with the way we were able to throw the ball.”

Morse competed 9 of 17 passes for 182 yards and three scores, while running for a team-high 112 yards and two more touchdowns.

The visitors took a 3-0 lead on a 25-yard field goal by Tony Diaz mid-

way through the first quarter, then got the ball back on the ensuing kickoff when Jayden Villegas’ jarring hit forced a fumble by Pekin’s Julian Hill to set up the Golden Warriors at the Dragons’ 7-yard-line.

Three plays later, Morse sneaked in from a yard out to make it 10-0.

“That [Villegas hit] was a big momentum boost,” Schlemmer said. “That got us going early.”

After another Pekin fumble, Morse found Marcus Shetter on a 34-yard, fourth-down scoring hookup. One series later, he connected with Alek Duran on a 29-yard strike to make it 23-0 with 9:18 left in the first half.

Hill returned the ensuing kickoff 88 yards to get the hosts within 23-6, but Trey Morse and Turner Morse collaborated on a 64-yard TD strike, and Trey Morse scampered in from 5 yards out on the next series.

Tim Pashon/Special to SVM Diaz added a 33-yard field goal late in the third quarter before Vaughn’s Sterling QB Trey Morse looks to pass during Friday night’s game in Pekin. Sterling won 54-13.

ROUNDUP

Cardinals fly past Galena Polo picks up win; AFC holds off Warren; Missiles fall short in Freeport

By SVM Sports Staff

In a little over 2 minutes of total possession in the first half, a speedy Forreston football team racked up seven scores against Galena. On the opening kickoff of the second half, Lane Henneman ran 95 yards for another quick strike and the running clock was on in a 41-13 Cardinal victory in Forreston.

So fast and deep at running back is the No. 1 team in 1A that the senior Henneman can’t even crack the starting offensive backfield of all juniors, including quarterback Hunter Daws.

“Lane’s a great athlete, but a second-string back for us,” Forreston coach Denny Diduch said.

With Galena befuddled trying to slow down Matt Akins, AJ Christensen and Gavin Fuchs, Daws broke free on a 44-yard score just before halftime for the 35-0 Forreston lead.

“We know they have a lot of speed,” Galena coach Ed Freed said. “We can’t give up the big strikes like we did.”

Forreston’s longest scoring drive was five plays, with Christensen going in from nine yards out on a sweep to the right side for a 6-0 lead. Akins made it 14-0 on a 2-yard plunge following a Pirate muffed punt.

Fuchs then ripped off a 62-yard

touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage following a Galena punt, increasing the lead to 21-0 late in the first quarter.

“We came out with a lot of intensity,” Fuchs said. “We had a slogan from coach Diduch’s daughter.

She said to play ‘lights out’. That’s what we did.”

AFC 14, Warren 12: Adam Hart opened the scoring, and Stephen Brooke put the game out of reach as the Raiders held on for an NUIC Upate win in Franklin Grove.

Hart ran for a 6-yard touchdown with 6:54 to play in the first, before Warren asnwered with a 7-yard run of its own less than 4 minutes later. Both extra-point kicks failed.

Brooke scored on a 12-yard run at the end of the second quarter, and Hart rushed in to push the lead to 14-6. Warren (0-2) scored on a 30-yard pass with 5:46 left in the game, but AFC (1-1) defended the two-point pass and hung on for a win.

Polo 45, Durand 6: The Marcos (2-0) scored at least one touchdown in every quarter, and racked up 459 total yards en route to an NUIC crossover win in Durand.

Polo’s Tristen Aguilar rushed for 202 yards on 16 carries, and had touchdown runs of 47, 6, 2 and 70 yards. Reid Taylor added scores from 1 and 4 yards out, while Justin Young had a 2-yard TD run.

Orion 42, Erie-Prophetstown 0:

The Panthers (0-2) were driving into the red zone in the quarter, but couldn’t find a way to score.

Those scoring chances dried up for E-P as the game went on as the Chargers cruised to a Three Rivers crossover win in Orion.

Orion (2-0) led 14-0 at halftime on a passing and rushing touchdown, then opened the game up in the third and took a 35-0 lead into the final quarter.

Aquin 14, Milledgeville 12: The Bulldogs opened the scoring with a 40-yard punt return with 6:23 left in the first quarter, and took a 7-0 lead into halftime in an NUIC Upstate game in Freeport.

Aquin (2-0) then took a 14 lead on a 17-yard touchdown pass with 6:12 to play in the third, before the Missiles mounted a comeback. Carson Boyer ran it in from 5-yards out with less than a second to play in the third , but the twopoint try failed.

Milledgeville (1-1) then cut the deficit to 14-12 when Brexton Flynn hooked up with Boyer on a 46-yard touchdown pass with 7:14 remaining in the game. The run was stuffed on the two-point try, and the MisChris Johnson/Shaw Media siles couldn’t score again.

In the highlight zone Leffelman in right place at right times for Newman

BY DAN WOESSNER dwoessner@saukvalley.com 815-625-600, ext. 5554 @DanWoessner

FULTON – If anyone looks to make a highlight film for Eli Leffelman after this season, a good place to start would be the fourth quarter of Friday’s game in Fulton.

Forward to about every key moment in the final minutes of Newman’s 30-22 victory in a Three Rivers crossover game and Leffelman’s No. 17 was probably there.

The biggest being a 45-yard touchdown reception from Landen Vesley with 2:05 left in the game that came only moments after the Steamers (1-1) had tied the score at 22.

“I took the field after they scored and focused on something we do called ‘why I play,” Leffelman said. “I was thinking about that while I ran that route, and I just wanted to make it happen.”

Leffelman said that he plays for Donavon Hopkins, a 16-year-old Newman student who was killed in a fire last January along with four other members of his family.

“It motivates us to try our hardest and never give up,” Leffelman said.

Leffelman, who also had an interception in the fourth quarter and a total of 11 tackles, wasn’t done after the TD catch.

The Steamers, as they had done all night, refused to cave with time running low and down by eight.

On the third play of the ensuing drive, 5-foot-8, 225-pound fullback Michael Pidde broke into the open for a 33-yard gain, and it was Leffelman from his safety position that made the tackle at the 10-yard line.

“He’s such a load,” Leffelman said. “He’s low to the ground, and he runs so hard. I just tried to edge in next to him to get him down.”

“It was great that we had guys make the big plays when we needed them,” Newman coach Mike Papoccia said. “But we kept putting ourselves in tough spots.

DAKOTA 38, AMBOY 20

Indians clip Amboy Wenger leads Dakota resurgence in second half

BY ROB LAIRD Special to SVM

AMBOY – Despite what the rushing totals in the stat sheet might say, Amboy made it quite apparent Friday night that opponents will find it quite difficult to run over the Clippers this year.

An incredible 20-point secondquarter rally had Amboy thinking upset, and fifth-ranked Dakota stumbling to find its corner heading into halftime, but in the end, the perennial powerhouse Indians pulled away for a 38-20 victory thanks in large part to 296 rushing yards from junior Andrew Wenger.

At one point in the first quarter, the Indians scored on three consecutive offensive plays, including an 80-yard run by Wenger and a 90-yard reception by Brock Duncan. The result was an 18-0 Dakota lead and a feeling on the Amboy sideline that the game might be a completely miserable experience.

However, Amboy senior Alexis Gutierrez barreled his way for a hard-fought first down on a fake punt late in the first quarter, sparking a touchdown drive. The Clippers forced a punt and a turnover on the next two Dakota possessions, and cashed both in with two more scoring drives.

The latter was capped a play that,

had the game turned out differently, might have become the stuff of legend in Amboy. Facing a thirdand-long from the Dakota 18-yard line with just 16 seconds left in the half, Amboy quarterback Jordan Hochstatter found himself flushed from the pocket with no open receivers.

He ran around, then ran around some more, and then some more, until it became apparent that the clock would expire. With his coaching staff freaking out on the sideline at the missed chance for a field goal attempt, Hochstatter sliced and diced, turned the corner and snuck in the end zone with all 11 Dakota defenders chasing him down.

The remarkable play gave his team an unlikely 20-18 lead, and left the Amboy faithful rocking and rolling into the break.

“I needed to make a play or do something. I had some good blocks from my wide receivers,” Hochstatter said.

The second half didn’t have the same energy for the Clippers, who just couldn’t stop Wenger.

“In the second half, [Dakota] just dominated the line of scrimmage,” said Amboy coach Gary Jones. “We have a lot of work to do on defense.

Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com We just can’t give up 38, 40 points Amboy’s Jordan Hochstatter runs the ball Friday against Dakota at the Harbor. like that.”
