Escaped convict still on the run U.S. Marshals take over search for maximum-security inmate on the loose B y Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The active search for an escaped convict west of Princeton has been suspended for local authorities, said Princeton Police Chief Tom Root, and taken over by the U.

S. Marshal Service.

According to Illinois State Police, maximum-security state prison inmate Joshua Lee Drinnon escaped from a private inmate transport vehicle at 4:45 p.m.

Wednesday, Sept. 2, while at the Great Sauk Trail rest area on west-

bound Interstate 80 at Mile Marker 51. Drinnon, incarcerated for aggravated robbery, was being transported from a court proceeding in Blountville, Tenn., to Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, Calif.

Drinnon is a bald white

male with blue eyes measuring 6-feet, 1-inch tall and 240 pounds, and according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), Drinnon was able to get out of his restraints and run past the transporting officers and was last seen entering a cornfield north of the rest area. Police said he was wearing a white T-shirt and red wind suit

pants.

City, county and state police have been combing the area surrounding the rest area since Drinnon escaped, performing a grid style search of buildings, fields and forests in the search area and scattering checkpoints on every surrounding road. The CDCR stated approximately 100 personnel, including SWAT team

members, multiple K-9 units and aerial operations equipped with thermal imaging technology, spearheaded the hunt for Drinnon.

Root speculated on the possibility of Drinnon having contacts who were aware of his plan to escape based off the fact the convict has not yet been found in the rural

LaMoille’s state of the union Espinoza: ‘Fix, repair, renovate ...’

By Zachary J. Pratt news@bcrnews.com

LAMOILLE — The LaMoille School District’s strategic planning presentation Thursday, Sept.

3, provided a look into how the district plans to improve, as well as explanations of the district’s finances.

One of the key ideas, according to Superintendent Ricardo Espinoza, was for the district to “fix, repair, renovate, everything we could in the most efficient way we could do it. And we have.”

To illustrate the effects of the district’s actions and plan, Espinoza referred to the area’s taxes.

“I know your taxes have gone down for the past two years,” Espinoza said. This led to what the district is doing differently.

“In the past, historically, the district was borrowing money called life-saving money,” Espinoza said.

These loans were less than effective and difficult to use, according to Espinoza, and did nothing to better residents’ tax rates. Now the district has a different tactic.

The district has applied for Qualified Zone Academy Bonds (QZAB).

“These are zero percent bonds,” Espinoza said, indicating they contain no interest rate. This, he said, should save taxpayers $178,938 in the course of 15 years.

The plan is to take out two bonds.

“The second bond will pay for our full strategic plan,” Espinoza said.

For the other bond, he said, “We’re going to go after 3 percent money.

“Because we’re related to the state of Illinois, we automatically have a bad bond rating,” Espinoza said, but he added that the district was able to negotiate privately for

Wilhelm and Bohms: Finders keepers Malden ladies find Heartland’s medallion

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — It only took one clue and 18 hours and 50 minutes of search time for Heartland Bank and Trust Co.’s medallion to be found.

Hannah Wilhelm and Kristin Bohms, both of Malden, were the winners of the

28th annual Heartland Great Medallion Hunt.

The two found the disc hidden in a guardrail behind Sherwin-Williams paint store in downtown Princeton during the morning hours of Monday, Aug. 31.

The duo, along with their families, saw the first clue in the Bureau County Republican’s Saturday, Aug. 29, edition and began their search.

They looked all over Soldiers and Sailors Park, Bureau County Courthouse, Darius Miller Park and the former Matson Public Library building.

“We read the first clue, and we were clueless,” said Bohms.

With no luck, they decided to sit down and decipher every word put forth in the clue.

They did an online search of “fields of dreams,” as the first clue stated, “the theme for this year is ‘Fields of Dreams.’”

“One of the articles talked about the history of Bureau County and it being known as the fields of dreams,” said Bohms.

Wilhelm added they thought pioneers

A trail of tranquility Princeton couple created art from nature and administered love to their surroundings

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — On a stroll down an old back country path, there are two routes from which to choose. An onlooker could see only the weeds and broken branches on the ground. They could hear the sound of pollution traveling by on the highway, and witness a dried riverbed littered with the debris of humanity.

Conversely, one could find flowers sprouting throughout the foliage. They could welcome the animal kingdom as freely as a butterfly wanders the wind.

They could get washed away in streams of living water, their only task developing a hand basket bountiful enough for the abundance of fruit overflowing.

Nature can only truly be seen from one of these angles; Terry and Mary LaFrenz knew long ago which route to travel.

The LaFrenz couple of Princeton have art flowing through their veins. They found each other long ago, after both experienced failed relationships in their younger days, and their faith in their maker is the “glue” that holds them together. They are gracious with the gifts they’ve been given, fully aware that what they have is not theirs, but simply a message to be delivered in light of the brightest colors.

Mary took floral design for a few years in college, always venturing out into nature to find corn stalks, sticks and vegetation to use while designing her wreaths, woven baskets and other fixtures. Everything she created was made by hand through natural elements gathered from the earth, and she was blessed with the opportunity to sell her creations at various shows both out in public and close to home.

“People are drawn to nature, and if you’re kind, they’re drawn to you,” Mary said, recalling the excitement of her customers over such raw and authentic wilderness works of art. “People would come to shows in the rain; we’d sell out community centers by noon. We couldn’t make things fast enough because we were taking advantage of nature others wouldn’t.”

The LaFrenz couple moved to Colorado in the mid-’90s, and Terry LaFrenz got into woodworking as a side project to his profession in convenient store development. He would make benches, stools, small tables — often times carving leaves or other forest insignia into the work, and Mary would paint on the products to add the finishing touches.

Mary got into pottery, felting and painting on old windows and doors that Terry would grab from the side of the road or the city dump. They used their intrinsic talents to beautify everything they encountered, and handed out their offerings to the public with soulful encouragement and everlasting warmth, never wasting a moment of interaction or a single stem from the garden.

Prostate cancer slowed Terry down about 15 years ago, but it also enlightened the couple’s perspective on what really matters and reminded them to be thankful instead of wishful. Terry said once he overcame his initial denial concerning his condition, he was stronger in his marriage and his faith.

“If you’re holding on to something so tight that God can’t do anything with it, you have to let it go,” Terry said, urging those trapped in any tunnel to constantly move toward the light. “He has you where He wants you.”

Terry and Mary moved back to Princeton in 2007, and Mary said they are fulfilling their dream of doing shows together, inspired by many years among beautiful people and their stories. Kind as a baby’s smile and calm as the setting sun, the couple can be found in their garage, brushing paint onto windowpanes or shavings from a fresh stretch of wood. Their hearts can be found glancing upward.

“There’s good in everything,” Mary said, gaining grace each time she extends an open hand. “People are drawn to us because we love them, and love attracts.”

The LaFrenzs’ artwork is currently on display at The Makery in Princeton.

Kristin Bohms and Hannah Wilhelm (third and fourth from left), both of Malden, are the winners of this year’s Heartland Great Medallion Hunt. They are pictured here with the Heartland Bank and Trust Co.

Wilhelm added they also attributed the word “Facebook” in the first clue as being a “social society.”

Bohms said they focused also on the portion of the clue that stated, “You can bet our clues may not be what they seem.” She said the word “seem” made them think “seam” as in sewing and hemming.

began thinking a seam like a fence or railing.

Back near the Bureau County Genealogical Society, they discovered the guardrail.

Wilhelm was the one to stick her hand into the railing and pull out the medallion.

She said there were several search parties at Soldiers and Sailors Park, and her instinct was to keep quiet and walk away fast.

“We wanted to scream, but we didn’t,” she said.

While this was the first year the two friends decided to hunt for the medallion together, it wasn’t their first hunt entirely.

Both Wilhelm and Bohms of the ordinary on their property.

Authorities encouraged residents to lock all their vehicles, buildings and residences on their properties. If Drinnon is spotted, police ask residents “do not attempt to capture” him, but immediately call 911 or local authorities. Calls will be investigated on a case by case basis. Interviews with the inmate transport officers are ongoing, Wilson said.

Both the eastbound and westbound Great Sauk Trail rest areas have been reopened with Illinois State Police Patrol units present, and signs have been posted notifying motorists not to pick up any hitchhikers.

have participated in several medallion hunts in year’s past. They both even remember the very first medallion hunt ever put on in 1987.

While their searches in the past brought them very close to the hiding spot, they just seemed to never quite get a hand on it — until this year.

“This is just awesome,” said Bohms.

Wilhelm and Bohms received $1,000 in Princeton Chamber gift certificates and will get a convertible ride in the annual Homestead parade.

The two plan to split the money and put some away for Christmas time and get

their kids a little something for helping with the search.

“We said we deserve it; we just want to go Prime Quarter,” Bohms said.

Ginger Freeberg, a member of the medallion committee at Heartland Bank and Trust, confirmed this was not the first time the medallion had been located after only one clue.

She said in 2006, the medallion winners found the disc on the first clue at Perry Plaza, and in 1991, the medallion was found at Zearing Park only hours after the first clue had been released.

SPRING VALLEY — Board members at the Spring Valley City Council meeting discussed extensively how to handle the situation with their wells Monday, Aug. 31.

City engineer Larry Good shared pumping test results for Well No. 11. He stated 664 gallons of water were being pumped each minute at a draw down of 140 feet, resulting in 11.9 gallons being pumped each minute per foot of draw down. The recent rehabilitation work has improved the well’s functionality by 15 to 20 percent, Good said, compared to recent records, but the well still has not passed bacteriological testing.

Alderman Ken Bogacz discussed the water and sewer meeting that took place on Monday, Aug. 24. He said Water Well Solutions (WWS), the company working on the rehabilitation of Well No. 10, brought pictures and parts they pulled from the well to the meeting to be analyzed. It was mentioned Well No. 10 has a history of sand issues, and a sand separator could possibly be installed prior to the pump as maintenance continues.

Good said WWS proposed a cost of $187,950 to rehabilitate and replace necessary components of Well No. 10. Part of that cost has already been incurred in the pulling and inspecting of the pump, as well as new equipment and rehab of the pump. There will also be expenses related to the tubing, shafts, bearings and sections of pipe needing replacement. Air bursting equipment utilized during testing, and the removal of sand as a result of the air bursts, added to the expense also.

Good said WWS agreed with his proposal and stated their contract would reflect Good’s estimates. Good encouraged the aldermen to approve a contract with WWS because WWS has offered an addendum in their contract which would allow Spring Valley to pay $160,000 over a 10-year span instead of paying $187,000 up front for the rehabilitation process.

Although the contract was not set in stone as of Monday evening, all individuals involved agreed in principle to the contract so that work could get underway.

“We are currently operating with one well, with no back-up well, so moving ahead in some way is important,” Good said, adding WWS seems trustworthy, having performed beyond expectations at no additional cost in recent proceedings. “They are not in a hurry; we are, and if we don’t accept the contract, we’re in the same boat as we were.”

A legislative meeting on Thursday, Sept. 3, was held to further discuss the situation.

What do we do with Van Orin?

LaMoille School District explores options

By Zachary J. Pratt news@bcrnews.com

LAMOILLE — The question of what the district might do with its Van Orin building was addressed at the LaMoille School District’s strategic planning presentation, Thursday, Sept. 3.

Superintendent Ricardo Espinoza presented three options to those in attendance, regarding what the district can do with Van Orin: Do nothing, renovate it, or add an addition to the Allen building in hopes of selling Van Orin.

Espinoza pointed out why he does not see doing nothing as a legitimate option. Foremost, he said students are not safe enough there.

Van Orin does not have a storm shelter. In event of an emergency, “They have to get the kids from the school to the church down the street,” Espinoza said.

Furthermore, there is no siren, so any warning for students and staff would have to come from a weather radio.

There were also issues with the building itself.

The structure is not as it should be, according to Espinoza, and the septic tank is failing.

Covering multiple buildings also presents challenges for the administrative leadership.

Finally, there is the issue of cost.

“Van Orin is costing more or less $78,000 a year,” Espinoza said to those in attendance.

The second option “would be to renovate Van Orin to the tune of $2 million,” Espinoza said.

According to Espinoza, a renovation would make students safer, but it still presents several issues. The students still need to be transported to Van Orin and back, which Espinoza said places students in needless harm’s way in addition to costing extra money.

The building structure would still need repair.

Overall, the cost of keeping Van Orin operational still remains, but now includes bond payments of $133,103.45.

“The cost would pay for an addition to Allen,” Espinoza said.

The third option would be to add an “addition to

Allen and no longer use Van Orin with the intent of selling the facility,” Espinoza said. This is the option he prefers.

The superintendent presented slides of blueprints and examples as to what such an addition might look like.

This option brought concern over what would happen to the staff at Van Orin. “We’re not going to let go of anyone we don’t have to let go,” Espinoza said. For the most part, staff members who leave would have been leaving anyway, such as retiring staff.

“We value all staff,” Espinoza said.

In relation to this, Espinoza said he has heard rumors the high school will close to save money.

“That would be the most costly,” Espinoza said.

He continued that statement. Giving kids to other districts, he said, presents a problem.

“There’s a human cost.”

It costs more financially as well. “Now you’re paying a million tuition to send them somewhere else,” he said.

Espinoza said voters will be able to decide whether to go for this addition during the primary election, March 15.

LaMoille

In other discussion, Espinoza said that “any full-time employee can bring their children to LaMoille tuition free.”

This does not include costs such as textbooks.

The idea is this helps make the school and district as a whole more appealing, so more people come.

“The more kids you have, the more kids come to school, the more money you get.”

Espinoza talked about the benefits of the students having laptops, “full functioning laptops. Not Netbooks. Not Chromebooks.” The laptops present students with additional opportunities to access information and learn.

The school has also secured use of programs such as Office, which is another benefit of these laptops.

Espinoza said, “If you have parents in this district, and you would like to have Office on your machine at home, we will give that to you for free.”

Students can now take dual credit courses, which also provide them credit for college.

“The students are able to take part in that dual program and do their coursework in the com-

a 3 percent bond.

“As long as the district is in great financial shape, like our district is, it’s a win-win-win,” Espinoza said.

“We can leverage more cheap money, continue to keep your taxes low, and use it to fund all sections of our plan,” Espinoza said. “It’s a declining tax rate.”

The district has been trying to work out its finances with uncertain help from the state of Illinois.

“The two million we get locally is not enough money to run our school district,” Espinoza said General state aid pays in accordance to enrollment, but it is not a known quantity.

“We call this fluctuating money, or ‘we never know if we’re going to get it’ money,” Espinoza said.

“The district is “trying to close that gap between that two million and what we’re not getting from the state board of education,” Espinoza said.

“We can’t sit on the sidelines and do nothing and expect something to happen,” Espinoza said.

fort of our classroom,” Espinoza said.

“In essence, they’ll take an IVCC course here with our instructor.”

The school is updating its athletics program to allow for better accountability while giving the students a chance to fix whatever issues they might have.

“In order for our students to be better athletes, they need to be better students,” Espinoza said.

“We have a brand new math curriculum. You would think it cost us a ton of money, but it did not,” Espinoza said.

He described it as better and cheaper than the old curriculum and was excited to announce it has a technology aspect to it.

“We negotiated with the publisher, and we were able to get the technology portion of the curriculum for free,” Espinoza said. “They just want us to be their spokespeople, their promoters, and we are glad to do that because we believe in it.”

Espinoza said this presentation is one in a series of future presentations.

Buda native Lee Gelnett (left) stands with Ray Crawford of Princeton outside the Bureau County Senior Center.

Gelnett rode his bike from Indiana, Pa., to Kewanee to take part in the Hog Days celebration.

On the road again with Gelnett Former Buda native makes a trek through Bureau County

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Buda native Lee Gelnett, 65, has spent the last 20 or so days riding his bicycle from his current residence in Indiana, Pa., to Kewanee.

Gelnett said he retired last year, and with the extra time on his hands, decided to get more serious about his biking hobby. Gelnett used to live in Buda and worked in Neponset for 20 years at the former meter repair company, J.B. Rombach. The job sent him out of state in 1995.

Being a native of the area for nearly 20 years, Hog Days Festival in Kewanee was a celebration Gelnett always looked forward to — it was a time to kick back and enjoy the festivities with co-workers.

This year, Gelnett decided to take part in the celebration he once enjoyed and meet up with old co-workers.

This is not Gelnett’s first long distance bike ride. He has ridden from Pennsylvania to Rhode Island and on extensive bike tours through Europe. However this will mark his longest ride yet at more than 667 miles.

Gelnett made his way into Princeton on Tuesday, Sept. 1. His plan was to stop and see some old friends who still lived in the area. However, a spoke on his bike wheel broke upon entering town. When searching for a bike repair store, his phone directory took him to the location where there was once a shop in Princeton.

Upon finding out the business was no longer there, Gelnett decided

to call the number on the real estate sign in the window of the empty building. The fellow on the other line directed him to the Bureau County Senior Center, where he scheduled a ride on BPART to Bike Works in Peru.

The senior center welcomed Gelnett with open arms, as they listened to the story of how he was making his way across country on a bicycle. While waiting for a ride to Peru, Gelnett also just happened to run into an old co-worker from J.B. Rombach, Ray Crawford of Princeton.

As the two sat and caught up, Gelnett said he couldn’t help but think what a small world it really is.

After experiencing the fun of Hog Days in Kewanee, Gelnett’s plans were to head back to Pennsylvania on the Amtrak train.

Just one more day ...

It’s no secret I have fond memories of my grandparents. Fred and Ruby were wonderful people.

There’s only a handful of others who can attest to that anymore, but every once in a while, somebody will tell me a story about one of them that makes me take a step back in time ... a story I file away in my memory for safe keeping, just like the mountain of other stories I cherish.

My grandparents both died when I was comparatively young. I was 13 when my grandma quietly passed away; I was in my very early 20s when my grandpa took his last breath. While we all live with regrets of what we didn’t do or what we should have done after a loved one passes, I think back on my youthful Terri Simon memories of those two awful experiences in my life with regret as well.

More than 30 years have since passed ... strange how the memories of them are still so vivid, so full of color and energy, so very precious. I think about them a lot, attempting to analyze situations and how they might have handled them way back then. I see new inventions — especially the wind turbines and technology, and I contemplate what they would think. I look at younger family members — ones they never got to know or see, and my heart breaks for what they missed — not just my grandparents, but also those younger members of my family who never got to know my grandparents. The list is endless ...

Now as an adult, I’d about give most anything to be able to spend one more day with each of them.

Ironically enough, the day wouldn’t be filled with huge activities, rather quiet moments of long conversations.

Grandma seldom got off the farm. She didn’t drive ... well, she drove, but she didn’t drive very well, so most of her days were spent on our 100-acre farm north of Princeton. Funny how a city girl ended up living her life on a remote country road where only a handful of cars passed by the farmhouse on the dusty gravel road out front, but that’s where she spent her days, other than a single trip on the train to Chicago every year around Christmas time and an occasional trip with her best friend to the mountains of Colorado. Other than those two outings and a weekly trip to the grocery store in Princeton, her life revolved around Rural Route 2, Princeton, Illinois.

If I had one more day, my plan would be a simple one. I’d drive to the farm and take Grandma to the local coffee shop, where we’d sip steamy and strong cups of coffee together. We’d order cinnamon rolls (her favorite) and slather copious amounts of butter on top of them.

More importantly, we’d talk ... for hours on end ... about everything ... about nothing. We’d laugh, and no doubt, a tear or two would fall as well. I’d ask her all the things I still don’t have answers for. I’d ask her if her life on that country road was happy. I’d ask her about all the things from her past of which I still wonder. I’d apologize for all the times I was a bratty adolescent and for all the times my mouth uttered inappropriate words to an adult I respected immensely. I’d tell her how proud I was of her. I’d tell her how she helped shape my life. I’d let her know the words I write for many to read are often directly related to her and some observation or lesson I learned from her. I’d tell her I still see her when I look at my mom and my aunt and other relatives too — the way their eyes give me that “look,” or their words sound ironically like her words. I’d tell her I still miss her everyday ... and that will never go away. I’d study her face, her hands, the sound of her voice ... committing them to memory once again.

My day with Grandpa would be spent on the farm.

Instead of following him during his morning/afternoon chores, I’d be walking side-by-side with him now. We’d sit side by side on the gate to the pasture, and together we’d watch the ponies and the cows — our favorite Dalmatian dog laying at our feet close by us. His straw hat would shield his face from the late morning sun, and his sky blue eyes would still have that faraway look that I remember so fondly.

Ultimately, we’d head to the front porch, where I’d unbuckle his boots just like I always did when I was a little girl, and I’d brush the weeds out of the cuffs of his rolled up bib overalls. It would be then that the

What’s up, Doc? A couple of Sundays ago, I had it uncomfortably brought to my attention that I just might undoubtedly be the worst father in the world. I never realized how much that I had been shirking in my parental duties.

It all started when my family and I attended church. It was a nice, sunshiny Sunday morning. You’re probably thinking that going to church doesn’t seem so horrible, but that wasn’t the bad part.

Approximately halfway through the church service, our pastor has what we refer to as “Children’s Moments.” The younger kids in the congregation go up front with the minister where they all sit on the steps leading up to the altar, and he asks the children what they’ve been up to during the previous week.

He then attempts to associate their answers to what the morning message will be about, which directly follows the kids’ segment. It’s a nice little segue for everyone involved.

On this particular morning, there weren’t many young people present. In fact, my daughter was the only child in the sanctuary that walked up front for Children’s Moments. Whenever this happens, I get a little nervous. With her being the only one up there, 100 percent of the minister’s questioning was going to be aimed directly at her, and she has this nasty little habit of answering questions honestly. That just can’t work out good for me. My wife has always said that I’m crazy, and that there is no need to be nervous. Well, now she knows better.

When my daughter sat down on the blue carpeted step next to the pastor, he asked her what she had been up to that week. She told him about school starting and all that fun stuff. But then she remembered that during the coming week, she was going to be attending the county fair and that her mom and I said that she could get a couple of rabbits. Evidently, we made that deal with her when we decided to move out to the farm. By the way, she has a nasty little memory too.

After my daughter mentioned the rabbits, the minister made some off-handed, vague reference to Bugs Bunny. He patiently looked at my daughter waiting for some kind of response. She just sat there, totally blank-faced with absolutely no comprehension of what the heck he was talking about. An uneasy nauseousness bombarded my system.

My daughter had absolutely no clue of who Bugs Bunny is.

As the minister prodded her with questions about Bugs, Daffy, Tweety and the Roadrunner, I hyperventilated. Later on, my wife said that she thought she heard my heart hit the hard wooden floor and roll around under the pew. There have been numerous sermons throughout the years that I have

tried to slink down in my seat in an effort to disguise the fact that the person in the pulpit was describing myself and my deeds, but that day, I could not duck down low enough.

I felt the eyes of my fellow parishioners burning into my back. My parents sit directly in front of me in church. My mom lowered her head in shame, and I think that my dad muttered something under his breath. I wanted to run.

How could my child, of all people, not know the lovable Looney Tunes characters? I just assumed that everybody knew who they were, but alas, it’s just not so. When I pondered it, I realized that she is only 10 years old, and the majority of her cartoon-watching history deals with SpongeBob. I still blame much of this national travesty on those lousy Smurfs back in the mid- to late-1980s. When those little blue devils hit the airwaves, cartoons started their downhill slide. All of a sudden, cartoons couldn’t have violence anymore.

That took my beloved Looney Tunes from an hour and a half of joyous Saturday morning viewing down to a mere half hour. Not long after that, it seems like they were gone completely. Sufferin’ succotash!

Now I wouldn’t be much of a man if I were to just sit here and cry about this injustice that has been placed on America’s children and not do anything about it. Therefore, I have decided to institute cartoon college in my home. I dug out my old DVDs the other day, and I will take it upon myself to teach my

little girl some of the finer things in life.

Stuff like if you paint a picture of a tunnel on the side of a mountain, a train can actually come out of it. How a mouse can be confused with a baby kangaroo. If you shoot a duck in the face with a shotgun, it doesn’t kill the duck. It just makes his bill spin around and fall to the ground. She needs to know that Tasmanian Devils look like little tornadoes when they move around. Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulators go off with an earth-shattering kaboom. Pepe LePew is a smelly boy and just like all other smelly boys, cannot be trusted. And most importantly, ACME sells everything.

Most of these things she will learn during her first few semesters at the university. As she moves on to her more advanced and graduate courses, she will be introduced to the Pink Panther, Tennessee Tuxedo and Bullwinkle. Her doctoral thesis will most likely deal with the cultural significance of Go Go Gophers. It will take a lot of work on her part, but I think that it will be worth the effort.

My daughter ended up getting two rabbits at the fair, Elsa and Ana. They are as cute as can be but have heaved turmoil into my once docile existence. You just can’t trust bunnies.

As a wise man once said, “Wabbits can be verwy wascally.”

conversation would begin ... in the shade of the big maple trees — one which still exists today. A simple yet a very well-read man, I’d ask his opinions on so many things, making mental notes along the way. We’d talk about finances, farm stuff, political happenings and more. Sooner or later though, we’d get to the topics that really mattered to him most — his family, their well-being, his work and his love of the land.

Again, I’d tell him how he helped shape my life — how to this day, his influence still directs many of my

paths. I would apologize for all the times he wanted to show me something impressionable on the farm, but a TV show or telephone call took precedence. If I had one more day, my chat with Grandpa would let him know how proud I was of him. I’d also tell him how I still see him when I see my mom’s hands and hear her mimic his nature to be worried. I’d tell him how proud I was of him. I’d tell him I still miss him everyday ... and that will never go away. I’d study his face, his hands, the sound of his voice ...

committing them to memory once again.

Sunday, Sept. 13, is Grandparents Day. If you’re lucky enough to still have your grandparents, I hope you’ll cherish the day ... just one more day to spend with them, talk with them, let them know how much you love them. You’ve got a little time to make some plans ... don’t delay, for there will come a day when you, too, will wish for just ... one more day.

Tigresses stifle Lady Bruins in TRAC play

Volleyball roundup

Hall wins first TRAC match

PRINCETON — The Princeton Tigresses put the heat on St. Bede Thursday night at Prouty Gym. On the court, the Tigresses throttled the Lady Bruins 25-13 in the first set and again in the second, 25-15. St. Bede was left with a similar feeling with stifling temperatures in the gym on a very hot September night.

PHS coach Andy Puck said he scouted St. Bede at Saturday’s Hall Tournament, and the Tigresses followed the game plan Thursday to perfection.

“Good team win. We worked on a lot of things in practice that we really executed tonight, and as a coach, that’s all you can ask,” Puck said. “It’s one thing to scout ‘em, but it’s another thing to have your kids execute them after you scout them; and our kids lived up to my expectations.”

Assistant coach Stephanie Kaufman, who filled in for SBA head coach Karrie Damerell who was with her daughter during surgery, said it was a frustrating night right from the very beginning.

“I just don’t think we could get our hands on the ball the right away, our bodies turned the right way. Some things weren’t connecting the way you want them to in volleyball,” Kaufman said. “It was an off night. We just seemed off kilter. I wouldn’t blame it on the heat because it was just as hot for their girls as it was our girls.”

The Tigresses used an 8-0 run to open up a 17-6 lead in the first set. Courtney Oeder dropped the hammer for the final points of the 25-13 first-set victory.

It didn’t get any better for the Lady Bruins in the second — the Tigresses scoring the first six points. Junior setter Jenna Grimmer had an ace the Lady Bruins watched drop untouched to put PHS up 4-0. Oeder then hit for the kill and added a block to cap the 6-0 run.

PHS upped its lead to 10-3 with a kill

by Madison Menzel and a SBA hitting error. Anna Murray place a shot perfectly just inside the back left corner for the PHS sideout at 15-7. Oeder hit for a kill to cap a four-point string to put PHS on

Five up, five down for Tigresses

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — It was five up and five down for the Princeton Tigresses tennis team Thursday, Sept. 3, at the PHS tennis courts.

The Tigresses only gave up three games along the way in defeating Rochelle 5-0.

It’s nice to get an easy win after our tough match with Ottawa last week. The heat was brutal but the girls stayed focused and took care of business,” PHS coach Connie Lind said.

Senior Angelica Jones (No. 1) and junior Jessica Krohn (No. 2) posted 6-0, 6-0 singles sets victories.

The Tigresses carried that momentum over to doubles with Elise Block and Mallory Wheeler teaming up for a 6-0, 6-0 win in the No. 1 position.

Alison Brown and Julia Bauer posted a 6-2, 6-0 win at No. 2 doubles while Mackenzie Geldean and Danielle May came out on top 6-0, 6-1 at No. 3.

The Princeton JV posted a 4-1 win. Winning doubles teams were Selena Olson and

Natalie Vujanov, Kiara Tate and Madalyn Robbins, Anna Zehr and Julia Prushinski and Lila Minnick and Gabriella Gerber.

The Princeton F/S pitched a 5-0 shutout. Singles winners were Emma Proffitt Shaela Hayes with doubles victories coming from Maddie Eckard and Mary Jeanne Brown Alexis Borg and Ali Borys and Kyra Strom and Margarita Gomez.

Reidner, Tigresses trip Rockridge

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Audra Reidner shot a career low 45 Wednesday to lead host Princeton to a 208-211 win over Rockridge.

Arraia Hicks came in at 48, Brooke Hieronymus at 56 and Rachel Jensen at 59 with Jaimee Cielieski (66) and Jade Loftus (69) rounding out the PHS scorecard.

“Audra came focused and ready to play and all of her hard work came together for her. She has been striking the ball well all year and has been putting in the extra effort on the practice range so it was great to see her realize her potential and see the results,” PHS coach Will Gross said.

“I was very proud for our overall team. Everyone wanted this win and had prepared themselves and executed our game plan, so I was very proud to see them be able to step up and achieve their goal.”

The Tigresses avenged a one-shot loss to the Rockets to improve to 3-4.

At Valley View: Host Orion (199) swept St. Bede (236) and Erie (244) Tuesday. Aiko Mendoza topped the Lady Bruins at 50.

At Spring Creek: Hall senior Matt Hoscheid carried medalist honors with a 42 on his home course Wednesday. It wasn’t enough, however, as

the Red Devils (207) fell to both Prophetstown (190) and Bureau Valley (202).

Also scoring for Hall were Dominic Marenda (48), Pablo Lule (58) and Amanda Scheri (59).

At Lake Erie: St. Bede’s John Potthoff shared medalist honors with two others with a round of 40 on the par 36, Front 9 course. Also for the Bruins (5-2) were Peyton Pyszka (41), Jack Kunkel (43) and Adam Lenkaitis (44).

DePue 8, Normal Calvary 0: DePue and keeper Raga Puga pitched a shutout Thursday. Offensively, the Morenos accounted for half the scoring, with Edgar Moreno scoring twice and Eddie Moreno and Ivan Moreno one each. Adrian Perez also kicked in two goals with one apiece for Ramon Puga and Adonai Sandoval.

Alleman 2, Princeton 0: The Pioneers scored twice in the first half and outshot the Tigers 16-11. Isaac Salazar made 14 saves on the Tiger goal.

“We did not have our best match,” PHS coach David Gray said. “Alleman won a majority of the 50/50 balls.

We had trouble getting moving. Things were a little better in the second half. The effort improved, but it still was not our best stuff.”

PHS senior Mackenzie Geldean makes a backhand Thursday against Rochelle.

top 19-7. Oeder followed a Hall sideout with a couple of kills to make it 21-8.

Puck said the Tigresses, who he said are not necessarily a high energy team, played with a lot of energy and confidence, which led to the points coming quickly.

“We dominated at the net. And they started rolling and tipping balls, and then we’d just fly to the ball,” Puck said. “The back row did phenomenal tonight. Jenna Grimmer’s coming into her own at setter and just puts up hittable balls, and we were able to run with it and put some balls away.

“We served and blocked well, and we sided out well. You put those three things together you’re going to win a lot of games.”

St. Bede outscored PHS 6-2 to pull within 23-14 but got no closer.

Kaufman said the Lady Bruins have to learn to adjust better and just put this match behind them.

“We have to, especially in the conference, because it just keeps going, right? Kaufman said. “You only get to play everyone once, so there’s no do-overs, and this is just one of those learning experiences. You put it behind you. We have a nice long weekend; we got some girls that need to recover. We’ll use it for that and get ready for next week.”

Oeder led the Tigresses

with six kills, and Hailey Schultz added five. Grimmer had 10 points and 10 assists, and Mady Cain and Sarah Murray each added seven points.

For St. Bede, senior middle Hanna Bima of Princeton, had six blocks and six kills, and senior libero had 13 digs.

Tiger tales: Puck and his wife, Gina, had a stressful time overnight Wednesday — their rural Princeton house in the crosshairs of the search for the fugitive that escaped at the rest stop five miles west of town on Interstate 80. They had police, SWAT teams, dogs all over their farm property and search helicopters in the air. Needless to say, the Pucks got very little sleep.

ORION 21, ERIE-PROPHETSTOWN 20

Sticking with what works Orion finds Panther weakness in pass game, uses to steal win

BY CODY CUTTER ccutter@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5555 @CodyCutter35

PROPHETSTOWN – Orion quarterback Craig Matson and wide receiver Josh Ellison liked the left-side pass plays so much against Erie-Prophetstown that they kept doing it.

Turns out, what isn’t broken wasn’t going to be fixed.

With 2.8 seconds left to play against the Panthers at Mosher Field, Matson and Ellison connected on their third short-range pass of the final minute from 7 yards out to hand the Panthers a 21-20 defeat.

Throwing isn’t a great part of the Chargers’ repertoire, but they made it count to give the Panthers (1-1) another stinging onepoint Week 2 defeat.

“We saw that the play worked three times before that.” Ellison said, “Coach [Chip Filler] kept saying, ‘Give the ball to 10.’”

On that last play, as Ellison landed just a couple of feet inside the near-side left pylon, the Panthers were hoping for an offensive pass interference call as a flag was pulled out. However, after about 30 seconds of deliberation, the call turned out to be defensive holding against the Panthers,

much to the shock of Panthers head coach Chuck Milem on the sideline.

Week 2 has not been kind to the Panthers, who now have lost three straight games by one point in that week.

“We came out real composed,” Pierceson said. “We just didn’t have the right mindset. That was a big part of it, but our offense came back and made a big drive.”

Phillip Coers led the Panthers with 103 yards rushing and touchdown runs of 4 and 31 yards, before coming down with a cramp near his left hip with 2:51 left in the third quarter. Nathan Pierceson came in and had a lead-grabbing 23-yard touchdown run off left tackle with 4:37 left in the game.

Pierceson rushed for 40 yards on six plays, after stepping up for an ill Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com Coers in the first 2 days of practice.

“It’s just a whole new world out Erie-Prophetstown’s Kody Wetzell (left) attempts to tackle Orion’s Josh Ellison during Friday there,” Pierceson said. “I played night’s game in Prophetstown. Orion won 21-20. fresh-soph last year, and it’s harder and faster. It comes so The Red Zone much faster, it’s hard to process.”

DIXON 26, BURL. CENTRAL 6

Dukes get it done on road Dixon improves to 2-0 with Week 2 victory over Burlington Central

BY JUDE WILBERS Shaw Media

BURLINGTON – The Dixon Dukes jumped out to an early lead on Friday night at Rocket Hill and did not relent, as they downed the Burlington Central Rockets 26-6 in Big Northern conference crossover play.

The Dukes opened the night with an 11-play, 71-yard drive. Senior quarterback Nathan Gascoigne was 4-for-5 passing on the drive, and threw for 204 yards and three scores in the first half, with all three TD passes to Kyle LeBlanc.

Dixon coach Dave Smith was glad to see the dynamic senior take advantage of his opportunities.

“He’s a very good athlete, and a senior ... and it shows,” Smith said. “We’re just kind of an offense that takes what they give us.”

Smith praised his offensive line as well, and the decision making of Gascoigne to deliver the ball to LeBlanc in a position to make plays.

Down 20-0 at the break, the Burlington Central offense found its footing coming out of the locker room. The Rockets (0-2) marched 64 yards in eight plays, with Jason Berengo finding the end zone from 1 yard out from the wildcat formation.

“It was nice to finally see the ball get in the end zone right away there,” BC coach Jason Newburger said.

But the Rockets’ hopes were quickly dashed, as Dixon sophomore Arthur Cox took a handoff 72 yards for a score on the Dukes’ next play from scrimmage.

“We get a stop there defensively, and you never know,” Newburger said.

Dixon ran its record to 2-0, winning its opener on the field a week after receiving a forfeit. But Smith said there is still plenty of room for improvement.

“We had too many penalties and too many missed opportunities,” he said. “We need to get that cleaned up quickly. You can tell we’re not quite there yet. We need to get more focused.”

OREGON 25, NORTH BOONE 7

Conditioned to win

Ghibellini’s hard work pays off for Hawks

BY ANDY COLBERT For Shaw Media

OREGON – Football coaches forever stress the importance of hard work and physical training in becoming a better player.

They could point to John Ghibellini, who led Oregon to a 25-7 win Friday over North Boone, as a perfect example.

Ghibellini, one of several two-way Hawks starters, had 193 yards on 30 rushes, as Oregon dominated time of possession and line play.

“He’s completely transformed himself in mind and body,” Oregon coach John Bothe said.

“The change since his freshman year is tremendous and due to all his hard work.”

Bothe was especially happy to get the Big Northern crossover win after losing 36-20 to North Boone last year in a mild upset.

“They shredded us last year with the option and the pass,” Bothe said. “To do what we did tonight after they brought back most of their starters is a testament to how well we

Oregon limited the Vikings to 4 minutes of possession and two first downs in the first half, intercepting a pass and forcing two fumbles – the second on a vicious hit

by Jacob Cox and Terry Page that forced Vikings quarterback Ryan Davis to the bench.

“We fired off the ball a lot harder,” said lineman

Kole Mowry, who had seven tackles, two for losses. “It was grind-’emdown Hawk football.”

If there was a disappointment for Oregon, it was leading only 12-0 at the half on touchdown runs by Ghibellini and Brayton Finch. Three times in that half, Oregon had first downs inside North Boone’s 30-yard line, but came up empty.

“We were lucky,” NB coach Aaron Sullivan said. “It could have been 30-0 at half. We were kicking ourselves on offense, but they outblocked and out-tackled us the whole time.”

A solo tackle for a loss by Cox and a pass breakup

by Jerrick Orsted stopped NB’s opening drive of the third quarter, after the Vikings drove to the Hawks’ 17-yard-line for their main scoring threat of the game.

Oregon upped its lead to 18-0 on a third-quarter Finch score and put the game away in the fourth quarter on a 98-yard drive in which Orsted and Ghibellini each had runs of 30-plus yards.

Maverik Good capped it off with a 4-yard touchdown run and 25-0 Hawk lead.

“The important thing is that we were physical,” Bothe said.

STERLING 42, UNITED TOWNSHIP 20

Like a broken record Thornton breaks Sterling’s TD mark in victory over United Township

BY BRENDEN WEST bwest@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5529 @BWest_SVM

STERLING – After handshakes, United Township coach Jason Kirby had to track Sterling Thornton down.

The Panthers started off strong against the Sterling Golden Warriors, taking an 8-0 lead in the first quarter and tied the score at 14-14 on its first drive after halftime. Kirby called it the best game for his players in 2 years.

Then Thornton put the Warriors on his back. And after breaking Sterling’s all-time career touchdowns record, the senior quarterback led the Warriors to a 42-20 win.

Thornton accounted for all 6 Warrior touchdowns.

“I just wanted to tell him that he’s a heck of a player,” Kirby said. “He’s a heck of a leader, and he played a heck of a game.”

Thornton finished with 150 yards rushing and 83 yards passing. Two of his touchdowns were through the air – one to Jordan

Asbury and another to Reid Blackburn.

On his fourth rushing score, midway through the third quarter, he became the Warriors’ career leader in touchdowns.

And when his team needed him in a tight game, Warriors coach Jonathan Schlemmer said, he knew who to turn to to get the job done.

“He’s that special kind of guy,” Schlemmer said of Thornton. “We challenge him to go get it done, and he gets it done.”

Thornton’s performance narrowly outshined that of Panthers running back Dakari Mars. UT’s back had more carries (22) and more rushing yards (211), including two 40-plus yard touchdowns in the second half.

But after UT (0-2) tied the score in the third quarter, Thornton led the Warriors on four consecutive touchdown drives before the Panthers managed an answer.

By that time, there was only 1:28 left in the game.

Sterling (2-0) turns its focus to Alleman in Week 3.

MARENGO 50, ROCK FALLS 6

Early, way too often Marengo scores 12 seconds into game, rolls past Rockets

BY BRIAN WEIDMAN bweidman@saukvalley.com 800-798-485, ext. 5551 @BrianWeidman

ROCK FALLS – It took Marengo all of 12 seconds to score its first touchdown against Rock Falls, and the floodgates opened after that.

The Indians were virtually flawless in the first half on both sides of the ball and cruised to a 50-6 victory against the Rockets in a Big Northern crossover game on Friday at Hinders Field.

Marango (2-0) has outscored two opponents 83-6 through 2 weeks.

“You’re always happy to get a win,” Marengo coach Matthew Lynch said. “You don’t care how it comes. A win is a win. I’m pleased with the offensive line, how they ran their blocks, and the offensive and defensive execution was really good.”

For Rock Falls (0-2), meanwhile, it was a lesson to be learned from a team that has the tools to do that to many an opponent.

“I don’t have any answers,” Rockets coach Rich Montgomery said. “I talked to the kids about watching TV on Saturday, and watching the defenses. They’re

going to see the same defense we’re running. Major colleges are running the same defense, the same coverages, the same stuff.

I just don’t know what to do. I don’t have any answers, but I’ve got to find some.”

Senior speedster Jarrell Jackson got Marengo off to a fast start, as he returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown, and the Indians were up 6-0 12 seconds into the game. That was only the beginning.

Senior quarterback Zachary Knobloch played less than two quarters, but made the most of his time on the field. He completed 13 of 18 passes for 290 yards and three touchdowns.

Jackson caught two of those for TD passes of 38 yards, and Craiton Nice also hauled in a Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com 66-yarder for a score.

COMMENTARY | BEATING THE HEAT

Cool thought on hot day Newman’s Brauman interested in cooking up happiness

O

n Wednesday at Roscoe Eades Stadium, popsicles greeted sweaty football players after the Golden Warriors’ practice.

A day later on the practice field at Newman, assistant coach Tim Nelson pointed to mobile water stations around the field.

“We’re stopping pretty much after every drill,” Nelson said.

“We want them to mentally handle the heat, and be able to deal with it. But we have to keep them hydrated.”

It’s been a sizzlin’ week in Illinois, and from the practices this sports editor was able to hit, it seems like coaching and training staffs were aptly prepared.

“What we tell them is that’s its not like it’s only hot on the Newman practice field,” Comets coach Mike Papoccia said. “Every team in the state is dealing with this.”

Being prepared is also the motto of the Boys Scouts, and Newman senior Jared Brauman lives by it.

Those who read Brenden West’s story in Monday’s Sauk Valley Media editions know that Brauman has already used both his football and

5555.

Scouting skills to save a life. If you didn’t read it, check it out on saukvalley.com.

In the summer of 2014, Brauman prevented a woman from jumping from a moving train, while he was on vacation with his family.

For the Comets, Brauman is prepared to lend a hand in any way he can as a lineman, mainly on the scout team.

“Every week, I have to learn the other team’s offense, and I try my hardest to run it the best that I can,” Brauman said. “The better I do, the better the defense can prepare for the game.”

With temperatures high, teams love having extra players, and it’s likely still to be hot when the Comets take the field to play the Steamers on

Saturday night.

Guys like Brauman come in extra handy.

“We need everybody out here everyday,” Newman senior defensive lineman Victor Francque said. “Every guy, no matter how much they play in games, is willing to give it everything they’ve got, and Jared does that every day.”

Papoccia would take a team and a school full Braumans every year.

“He’s got such a big heart, and he loves being on this team,” Papoccia said. “He’s a kid that has set some big goals for himself in life, and I don’t doubt for one second that he’ll reach them.”

Those goals include a culinary tract when he goes to college, so that he can become a chef.

“When I was thinking about what I wanted to be, I knew I wanted to do something that would make people happy,” Brauman said. “That’s the ultimate for me, and I thought, if you can be a good chef and make good meals for people, that’s a great way to make them happy.”

To this sports editor, that was a pretty cool thought during a hot week.

PRINCETON 48, MORRISON 6

Tigers find rare air Princeton beats Morrison for first 2-0 start since 2003

BY KEVIN HIERONYMUS khieronymus@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Twelve years.

That’s how long it’s been since the Princeton Tiger football started off a season with two wins.

On Friday, the Tigers reached that rare air in convincing fashion, defeating the Morrison Mustangs 48-6. It’s a long way from their 0-21 skid which stretched through the end of the 2012 season to last year’s season-opening win over the Mustangs.

“These kids have really bought in to what we’ve been doing. Went through all the ups and downs that we’ve had. Really bought in,” PHS coach Jesse Snyder said. “It’s a credit to these kids and the kids we had before this year, too. Working their tails off and doing things the right way. We just got to continue that.”

The Tigers got contributions from multiple sources with six different players finding the end zone.

Quarterback Jake Reinhardt had his hands on four scores.

The Tiger senior quarterback got the fun started with a 6-yard run less than four minutes into the game.

He then connected with Kai Tomaszewski for a 13-yard TD toss,

also in the first quarter.

Reinhardt added a 6-yard scamper with 20.9 left in the half to give Princeton a 26-6 lead at the half.

In the fourth quarter, he completed his second TD strike of the night, completing a 13-yard pass to Levi Bates, who came down with the ball in the end zone before a Mustang wrestled the ball away as they tumbled.

Reinhardt finished the night with 64 yards rushing and 2 TDs and 87 yards passing with 2 TDs and gave all the credit to the Tigers offensive line.

“Jake’s a real smart kid. Good with ball security (and) makes the right reads,” Snyder said. “Our backs did a great job seeing the holes tonight and the offensive line played well up front.”

BUREAU VALLEY 26, ST. BEDE 20

Right man, right place Herr steps up for Bureau Valley in win at St. Bede

BY BRENT JAMISON sports@bcrnews.com

PERU — Sometimes you are just in the right place at the right time.

Bureau Valley sophomore Bryan Herr was in that right place twice on Friday night as he scored two touchdowns on tipped balls to lift the Storm to a 28-22 victory over the St. Bede Bruins in a Three-Rivers crossover contest at the Academy.

“Lucky plays I guess,” Herr said with a laugh. “It felt great to help my team win.”

Herr’s first tipped ball came off of the hands of a St. Bede receiver that he returned 73 yards to the end zone in the second quarter. The other tip came off teammate Gailen Gibson’s hands as he raced 65 yards for a score on the Storm’s first possession of the third quarter.

But it wasn’t all luck for Herr, who finished with all four Bureau Valley (1-1) scores. He had three touchdown catches for 127 yards and two interceptions, including a key takeaway in the St. Bede end zone midway through the third quarter.

“This week we really stepped up in practice and worked really hard to win as a team,” Herr said.

The Storm saw improvement on the defensive side of the ball, forcing four turnovers and making key stops throughout the game to never relinquish their lead.

“We are so young that our growth is going to be so much every week,” Storm coach Spencer Davis said. “We want to keep getting better and better.”

The Bruins (1-1) took an early lead in the game when Bryant Eustice connected with Braidy Shipp for an 11-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter.

But the Storm had a 20-point second quarter to take the lead for good.

Eustice hooked up with Shipp one more time with 4.6 seconds left in the second quarter on a 51-yard bomb to cut the deficit to six.

“We made the mistakes, they didn’t make the mistakes,” St. Bede coach Jim Eustice said.

“The bounces went their way and they outhustled us.”

HALL 26, ROCKRIDGE 13

No. 3 greater than 2 Red Devils beat Rockets in battle of 2A top-ranked teams

BY DAN DWYER sports@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Two of the the top three teams in Class 2A battled Friday night as the No. 2 ranked Hall Red Devils flexed their defensive muscles and routed the third-ranked Rockridge Rockets 26-13 at Nesti Stadium.

“These kids have worked that hard and they deserved that. Coming with the hot week in practice they sucked it up and proved that they are a legitimate top 10 team,” Hall coach Randy Tieman said.

Rockridge’s offense came out firing on all cylinders early taking a 6-0 lead on a six-yard pass from junior QB Carson Frakes to senior running back Dylan Peterson with 5:14 left in the first quarter.

“Our kids came out and we still had our heads up. They had a nice long drive and we adjusted and we came right back. Our kids kept playing and did not give up even though we were down six early,” Tieman said.

After the early strike, the Red Devils’ defense hunkered down and was a tenacious force for the remaining of the game. They allowed the Red Devils offense to

score 26 unanswered points over the next 40:34 of play until Rockridge finally poked another touchdown in with just under a minute to play.

Trailing 6-0, the Red Devils’ offense got a spark from Chris Hammonds, who scampered 15 yards up the heart of the Rockets defense taking advantage of a 25-yard-loss on a fumbled snap on a Rockridge punt.

With the score 20-, things started getting tight for the Red Devils as the Rockets threatened to cut the Hall lead to one score on a 4th and three pass from the Hall threeyard line. But the short dump pass was picked by senior linebacker Matt Krolak for a 62-yard return that sealed the Red Devils victory.

Senior quarterback Drew Pullam had himself a night under center going 9-for-16 with three touchdown tosses for 171 yards.

Senior receiver Patrick Einhaus also had a breakout night pulling in three catches for 96 yards and two scores.

Now 2-0, the Red Devils will entertain rival St. Bede at Nesti Stadium next week to kick off Three Rivers Mississippi play. They look to climb in next week’s rankings.

WEST CARROLL 40, EASTLAND-PEARL CITY 0

Tough sledding for EPC West Carroll front lines stout in rout of defending 2A state champs

BY PATRICK MASON pmaason@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5550 @pm222

LANARK – West Carroll football coach Matt Leitzen ordered a heavy dose of sled work during this week’s practices, in an attempt to be more physical up front.

The Thunder had better get used to it. West Carroll thumped Eastland-Pearl City 40-0 on Friday in an NUIC Northwest clash in Lanark.

“We hit the sleds probably a little harder than the kids would’ve liked,” Leitzen said. “But I think we’re going to do that from now on. We were faster off the ball and stronger at the point of attack than we were a week ago.”

The line opened up running room throughout the game for running backs Ethan Mangler, Eric LaShelle and Logan Barker, who torched the Wildcatz’s defense for 312 yards between the three.

It started early as the Thunder (1-1 overall, 1-1 NUIC Northwest) found themselves backed up deep in their own territory to begin their second possession, before Mangler broke a 91-yard touchdown run to take a 6-0 lead with 6:58 to play in the first quarter.

West Carroll added three more scores in the second, with LaShelle running in from 1 yard to cap a

73-yard drive, Barker adding a 58-yard score, and receiver Luke Jones catching a 6-yard pass from quarterback Kody Plattenberger to enter halftime with a 26-0 lead, and a 323-52 advantage in total yards.

“I think everything is falling into place for us,” Barker said. “This is how we want our offense to look.”

Mangler finished with 146 yards on 15 carries, Barker had three touchdowns and 107 yards, while LaShelle added 59 yards.

The Thunder put up 439 yards of offense in the shutout.

E-PC (0-2, 0-2), meanwhile, had trouble on offense, and quarterback DJ Heeren’s three interceptions didn’t help matters. E-PC did show life in its three seconodhalf possessions as the Wildcatz strung together drives of 12 plays and 14 plays, sandwiched between a lost fumble.

Receiver Brighton Haverland was Craig Lang/Shaw Media the go-to guy, catching four passes West Carroll’s Stephen Santeramo (left) attempts to elude an EPC defender during Friday for 42 yards in the half, and finnight’ss NUIC Northwest contest in Lanark.

POLO 50, DURAND 0

Missiles down Aquin at home Milledgeville starts 2-0; Amboy shreds Sherrard on road

By SVM Sports Staff

The Milledgeville Missiles improved to 2-0 on the season with a come-frombehind 26-17 victory over the Aquin Bulldogs on Friday at Floyd Daub Field.

After trailing 17-11 at halftime, the Missiles came back to get their first win of the season at home by downing a traditional NUIC power.

Troy Litwiller, Buddy Bibler and Brexton Flynn scored touchdowns for the Missiles (2-0 NUIC Upstate). Jason Brubaker kicked a 27-yard field goal, and the Missiles defense added a safety.

Litwiller scored on a 52-yard punt return, and Flynn scored on a blocked punt.

Amboy 41, Sherrard 0: Dallas Appleman returned a fumble 20 yards to get the Clippers on the board early in the first quarter, and it spurred Amboy on to a

road rout of the Tigers.

Appleman also scored twice on runs, as did Drake Barlow. Ryon Richardson also scored via the rush for Amboy (1-1).

Warren 18, AFC 8: The Raiders struck first on a 45-yard pass from Jacob Hilliker to Kaywan Palmer, but it was all Warriors the rest of the way in Warren.

Palmer scored with 7:59 remaining in the first quarter, but the Raiders (0-2) were shut out the rest of the way. Palmer finished with four receptions for 64 yards. Hilliker completed 6 of 10 passes for 73 yards with one TD and one interception.

Jake Hageman rushed 23 times for 97 yards to pace the AFC attack.

Warren’s Payton Calow completed 12 of 19 passes for 193 yards, including a 45-yarder to Brian Marcure just before halftime that gave his team the lead for good.

Forward motion Marcos’ offense continues to roll in opening weeks of season

BY ROB LAIRD Special to SVM

POLO – In a game like this, it’s important for a team not to get lazy and take a step backward.

Well, in Polo’s 50-0 victory Friday over an overmatched Durand, the first backward step the Marcos’ offense took occurred when regular tight end Wyatt Patterson lined up behind center to take a knee to run out the final minute of a dominant first half.

Polo continued its 2015 season-opening blitzkrieg, pouring on 50 points in the first half, including a four-play stretch in which the Marcos (2-0, 1-0 Northwest Upstate Illini – Upstate) scored three touchdowns. Polo has outscored opponents 111-0 through 2 weeks.

Senior Brad Cavanaugh says the impressive showings are due to an all-around excellence boasted by the squad.

“Everyone’s so fast, and

we have good blockers who actually block,” said Cavanaugh. “They just open everything up and create big running lanes for us. We have so much talent with both our backs and our line.”

Cavanaugh had two touchdowns, including a dazzling 80-yard punt

return for a touchdown run that featured several broken tackles along his way down the left sideline that gave the Marcos a 29-0 lead with the game still in the first quarter.

The ease with which the Marcos’ high-powered offense has cut through defenses will soon be

tested, however, as the schedule begins to ratchet up in difficulty immediately. Next up for the Marcos is Stockton (2-0), which romped past River Ridge in a manner much similar to Polo’s 61-point victory in Week 1. After taking on Stockton, defending state champion Eastland-Pearl City awaits the Marcos.

Against Durand, though, it didn’t matter who touched the ball; yards were going to be gained. Six different ball carriers picked up gains of 12 yards or more in the first half, including touchdown runs of 13, 12, 29, and 39 by Dylan Beers, Brody Grobe (twice), and Jesse Ditzler, respectively.

Grobe’s 29-yard score came on the game’s third play. Then, immediately following a fumble on the Bulldog’s second play from scrimmage, Beers rumbled in from 13 yards out, and the onslaught was on.
