Cause of death determined in Dewey case Results of autopsy not being released at this time

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

HENNEPIN — Illinois State Police investigator Lt. Jeff Padilla confirmed Thursday an autopsy was conducted on Deborah Dewey, and the cause of the death has been determined.

Details of that autopsy are still

being withheld from the public due to the ongoing investigation.

Padilla said the cause of death has not even been released to Dewey’s family.

“They have an understanding of why we are not able to do so at this time,” he said.

Padilla said ISP continues to go over evidence related to Dew-

ey’s homicide death investigation. Key players in the investigation held a meeting Sept. 28 to discuss the case in detail and figure out what still needs to be completed to ensure no stones are left unturned in this case, he said.

Those present at the meeting included Putnam County State’s

Attorney Christina Mennie, state police investigators and crime scene personnel, a representative from LaSalle County State’s Attorney’s Office and Putnam County Sheriff Kevin Doyle.

“We’re still working. This is still a very much active investigation for us,” Padilla said, adding there are now eight full-time

state officers assigned to the investigation.

Members of the Bureau Valley football team were one of the entries in Thursday evening’s homecoming parade, pep rally and bonfire.

Bureau Valley celebrated its homecoming all week long with a variety of special events. The Storm was to take to the gridiron Friday night for its homecoming football game against the Sherrard Tigers. See today’s Friday Night Blitz for results of the homecoming game.

PRINCETON — Princeton High School’s head custodian has resigned, which appears to have solved one of the biggest issues the Princeton Booster Club had with the district’s administration.

Sam Pickard’s resignation was approved at Wednesday’s PHS Board meeting, before a 90-minute closed session between the board and members of the Princeton Tigers Athletic Booster Club.

Afterward, Kelley Fisher, the club’s vice president and public relations officer, said one of the club’s biggest problems was solved immediately when the head custodian turned in his resignation, and that, after tense discussions about communication and other issues, both sides agreed to move forward and work together.

The club will not disband, Fisher added.

Neither side would discuss the specifics of the problem with Pickard.

Dremann will not seek a second term in the circuit clerk office Dawn Reglin running unopposed for position

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Bureau County Circuit Clerk Mary Romanelli-Dremann has announced she will not seek re-election after running one term.

Dremann won the seat of circuit clerk in the November 2012 general election, when she beat out her opponent Dawn Reglin, a deputy clerk in the circuit clerk’s

office, by a small margin.

“My decision to not seek re-election was an easy one.

My husband recently turned 70, and I will be 62 in October. I enjoy the idea that I am deciding, not the voters, when I am ready to leave office. I tell everyone that I believe in term limits, (even) my own,” Dremann said.

Dremann is leaving office with two regrets. First, that she didn’t run for the position earlier in life, and sec-

ond, that her efforts to raise the salaries of the clerks at Bureau County Courthouse have been ignored by the Dawn Reglin county board.

Dremann stands with firm belief the clerks are “seriously underpaid.” At the July county board meeting, she addressed the board with the issue, however since then, the topic has not been discussed publicly by board members.

“I hope the board will take

a good look at salaries in other counties and the responsibilities and duties of our clerks when negotiations begin at Mary Dremann the conclusion of the current union contract on Nov. 30,” she said.

Under Dremann’s rule, the office of circuit clerk has seen many upgrades — from computers and desks to case management software and online court records.

“We’ve improved our

third-party collection of unpaid fines, fees and court costs. Our probate records from 1837 to 1930 have been digitally photographed by Family Search at no cost to the county, and we now have external hard drives containing those images,” Dremann said.

As Dremann prepares to leave office, her former opponent, Reglin, is ready to move up and head the post.

With no opponents, Reglin said she is looking forward to becoming the next Bureau County Circuit Clerk.

“I can make the transition of the office as smooth as possible, since I have been a deputy clerk in this office since 2005, and I am very familiar with day-to-day operations and requirements of this office,” she said.

Reglin said there will be even more changes coming to the office, however, the mandated e-filings system, which was mandated by the Supreme Court, will be one of the most significant transitions.

Yaklich works toward Eagle Scout status Scout tackles sign improvements at the Prouty Building

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton Chamber of Commerce and Bureau County Red Cross have a new sign outside the Prouty Building, thanks to a local Boy Scout eager to receive his Eagle Scout status.

Mark Yaklich, 16, a member of Princeton Boy Scouts Troop 1063, went to Princeton Chamber Director Kim Frey and asked for ideas for a project that could benefit his hometown.

When she pointed him in the direction of the dilapidated and outdated signage for the Chamber and Red Cross out front of the Prouty building, he knew it was an area where he could make improvements.

Yaklich said the former sign was too small and couldn’t be seen from the road because of the over-

With ideas on how he could make improvements, Yaklich raised $1,800 in donations from people and businesses and worked with Ken Stoner of Stoner Signs in coming up with a new design for the sign. Yaklich said when it came to the design, a big thing for the Chamber was getting its new logo put on the sign.

On Sept 17, Yaklich, along with nine fellow scouts, spent 10 hours completing the project. Princeton Commissioner Ray Mabry volunteered his services, and Al Taylor from Elite Landscape assisted with laying out the new landscaping.

At the Sept. 19 city council meeting, Yaklich was recognized by Princeton Mayor Joel Quiram who pointed out the improvements out front of the Prouty Building and thanked Yaklich for his ignation, PHS Board President John Young said Pickard had saved the district money during his tenure by tackling several complicated maintenance issues on his own, and all board members believed he gave the job his all.

Steve Gray, maintenance supervisor at Marquis Energy in Hennepin, was hired to replace Pickard.

Dewey From Page 1 of Standard. Police were asking for anyone who might have seen Andersen or might have given him a ride between Aug. 22 and Aug. 29.

Andersen was charged with concealment of a homicide death, a Class 3 felony, after he allegedly found Dewey’s body at the vacant home on Fifth Street in Standard, wrapped it in a blanket and tied it up with rope and duct tape before burying it in a shallow grave. Andersen is Dewey’s brother-in-law.

Padilla confirmed around the time police were placing the posters, investigators developed independent information about someone they needed to speak with.

“That person has been cooperating with the investigation,” he said.

Moving forward, Padilla said investigators are continuing to conduct interviews, go over records and follow up on leads.

“There’s still a lot of work to be done, but I think we’re moving along at a very good pace,” he said.

As previously reported, Dewey’s body was found

in a shallow grave at a vacant property in Standard on Sept. 12 — 20 days after she was reported missing on Aug. 23.

It was reported police were alerted to the Standard property following an interview with a person who had knowledge about the case. One day after Dewey’s body was found in Standard, police arrested Andersen.

Andersen is being represented by Parker and Parker law firm in Peoria.

His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 29 at the Putnam County Courthouse.

Inspector Gen. Jim Burns visits Princeton’s DMV PRINCETON — Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White’s Inspector General Jim Burns visited Princeton Driver Services facility to discuss security upgrades to the driver’s license/ ID card design, as well as the transition to a more secure central issuance process. The Princeton facility implemented the central issuance process in July. With implementation of these changes, Illinois has moved closer to achieving full REAL ID compliance, which is a federal mandate of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Applicants visiting driver services facilities no longer are issued a new permanent DL/ID card at the end of the application process.

Instead, they leave the facility with a temporary secure paper driver’s license, which is valid for 45 days and serves as their DL/ID for driving purposes and proof of identification. The temporary, secure paper driver’s license or ID card contains a photo and the basic information that appears on the permanent driver’s license or ID card. In addition, the facility employee returns the old DL/ID card back to the applicant after punching a hole in it.

Meanwhile, the applicant’s information is sent to a centralized, secure facility in Illinois. After fraud checks have been conducted to ensure the applicant’s

Secretary of State Jesse White’s Inspector General Jim Burns talks with Princeton facility staff about the new central issuance process, which better combats fraud and identity theft. The upgrades to the driver’s license/ID moves Illinois closer to compliance with the REAL ID Act, which is a federal mandate of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Pictured are Ashley Bulfer (front row, from left), Fran Peterson, Hope Escatel and Pam Parker, facility manager. In the back row are Amber Fergeson (from left), Shelli Hartford, Inspector General Jim Burns and Tara Perry. identity, a higher quality, more secure DL/ID is printed and sent via U.S. mail within 15 business days to the applicant’s address.

“These changes are necessary for Illinois to be REAL ID compliant,” said White. “In addition, the changes further enhance our efforts to protect Illinoisans from fraud and identity theft. The upgraded driver’s license and ID card contain a variety of enhanced security features that take advantage of new developments in technology.”

“These important changes benefit the public and are strongly supported by the Secretary of State’s Safe ID Task

Force,” said Burns, who serves as chairman of the task force. “Central issuance provides better fraud and identity theft prevention by allowing the office to investigate possible fraud before applicants receive their DL/ID in the mail. In addition, the design of the DL/ID card has been upgraded with important features that overthe-counter technology simply cannot produce.

The centralized, secure facility utilizes high-tech manufacturing equipment capable of printing cards incorporating state-of-the-art security features. These types of anti-counterfeiting security features help prevent and deter fraud.”

Illinois State Police release results from Occupant Restraint Enforcement Patrols LASALLE — The Illinois State Police (ISP) conducted Occupant Restraint Enforcement Patrols (OREP) on Sept. 5 and Sept. 28 in District 17.

During the detail, troopers issued 43 citations for safety belt violations and two citations for child restraint violations.

Collectively, there were a total of 51 citations issued and 10 warnings given by police.

Most motorists know safety belts

save lives, but some ignore their safety and that of their families by neglecting to use safety belts and child restraint devices.

These patrols reinforce the occupant protection message by targeting those who choose to ignore the law.

Lives can be saved if people simply buckle up.

This project was funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Division of Traffic Safety.

For sale ...

I’ve always thought it would be fun to own and operate a retail store. The same goes for a restaurant. The concept of either one of those entities sounds appealing.

I think it would be fun ... for maybe the first one or two weeks. After that, the idea of sifting through items to sell and not knowing if they will really sell or not ... or getting up at 2 a.m. to make cole slaw Terri and potato salad ... well, reality tells me Simon either one of those endeavors wouldn’t COMMENTARY be for me.

Still, on those nights when sleep won’t come, I find myself thinking about that restaurant. I actually have a menu all planned (in my head), but it’s craziness — I know that. Likewise, I’ve planned out the retail store as well. I can picture it (also in my head), and while the merchandise I’d sell always reflects my own tastes, rather than the general public, it’s been a pipe dream that returns time and time again, as I wait for sleep to come.

And so it was the other night, when the clock had ticked far past midnight, and I was reflecting on the past few weeks, as I watched the clock nearing 1 a.m. In my job at the newspaper, I am fortunate to meet many people from all walks of life, so throughout the years, I feel as if I’ve learned how to accurately read people who come in and out of my life for a host of reasons, when it comes to the newspaper business. As I reflected on the interactions I’ve had the past few weeks ... maybe the past month, I came to a realization that completely astounded me. That awareness was crystal clear, and I now know if I ever decide to open that retail store ... well, I know exactly what I will sell.

The store will be dimly lit, and it will be decorated in shades of calming blues and greens. When you open the door, the tingling of pretty chimes will welcome you, and you’ll see me behind the counter — looking surprisingly calm, well-rested and relaxed. I’ll greet you with a smile, and I’ll encourage you to take your time as you browse the “merchandise.” I’ll probably even have a coffee pot available, where you can pour yourself a cup of something special. The aroma of the coffee will mix with a scented candle — probably patchouli, pine or another one of my favorite smells. As you browse the shelves, I’ll watch you smile, check out the prices, and ultimately, I’ll be available to help you with your purchases.

So what am I going to sell?

From the way my world revolves, I think one of the most popular items on the shelves will be ... patience.

OK, it will have a hefty price tag, but I think I’m going to have trouble keeping it in stock. Who wouldn’t pay for patience?

Other popular items will be happiness, joy, pride and bliss. Can you name one person who wouldn’t buy those?

Other shelves would hold such items as satisfaction, well-being, peacefulness. Prices would depend on how much you needed/wanted.

Good health would be a popular product ... but pricey, as would financial security, which would also be expensive. After all, you only get what you pay for.

I would watch as some customers head straight to the shelves filled with intestinal fortitude, humility, perseverance and serenity. I’d smile at them, understanding their needs.

Time might be one of the most important items I’d sell, and I’d probably position that product right next to the good health. It goes hand-in-hand, don’t you think?

I could see customers trying to decide how they could afford both, since their price tags would be hefty ones.

I’d have an eternal sale on things like helpfulness, kindness, graciousness, affection, benevolence, goodness, unselfishness, decency and grace ... just because we all need to own some of all those products.

But maybe the most expensive item in the store would be ... common sense. It would be expensive, but just think what a world we all would have if everyone owned a bit of it.

I hope you’ll visit my new store when I get the doors open. Happy shopping ...

Be gentle It’s hard to teach brand new, old dogs new tricks that shouldn’t be that hard to learn, except for the fact the dog is old. And new. Allow me to explain.

I started a new job this week. Most people would probably think the hardest part about a new occupation might be in learning the structure of the business and who does what. Or maybe it would be figuring out the whole computer file naming system and determining what goes where. Or possibly getting reacquainted with a couple of computer programs that I haven’t used too much throughout the past couple of years. Most would probably think any or all of these things might be somewhat difficult, which they are.

But none of these things are what troubled me the most.

Nope, the hardest part for me this whole first week has been getting out of a door. You see, this particular business has a security area that you need to go through when it comes time to leave the building. I’m not used to that. For all the jobs I’ve ever had, I usually had to just show up, punch a time card, do some work, punch a time card and leisurely stroll out the door at the end of the day. I didn’t realize how easy I had it.

At this place though, for good reason, everyone needs to exit the premises via a metal detector.

Before going through that contraption, employees need to get all of the metal off of their persons. This includes belts, watches, eyeglass-

Greg Wallace COMMENTARY es, pens, loose change, pots, pans, swords, chain mail underwear, etc.

Along with that, pockets need to be emptied, and shoes need to be removed. And after you get rid of all that, you still hope more than anything that the metal detector doesn’t buzz when you walk through it.

And then there’s George. He’s one of the security guards who mans the area. He’s the one who has been there whenever I have went to leave.

He’s a pretty cool guy that always greets me with a smile and tells me to have a good night. Up until the beginning of this sentence, he has claimed to have been a fan of this column. I’ll see if he feels the same way Monday morning. He seems like a really nice guy, but I’m pretty sure he could turn into an enraged Dirty Harry if someone attempted to break through his secure perimeter. I feel sorry for the poor fool that tries.

The first couple of days, I had a rough time preparing myself mentally to make it through the metal detector. I’m kind of a moron. I’d forget to take off my belt or take the spare change out of my pocket. The biggest problem was remembering to take off my metal-framed glasses.

That’s more out of necessity than anything else because without my

glasses, I almost need a white cane and a dog just to find the metal detector.

And I don’t want to be the one who screws up this whole process.

That’s because whenever I’m leaving, there’s usually a small line of people waiting behind me. So if that dreaded buzzer goes off, and I need to repeat the metal detecting process, I’m keeping all of these fine people from getting home to their families and friends. I don’t want to be known as the “shoe-less-squintyholding up his pants guy” that messes up everybody’s nightly plans. I don’t think that anyone would ever accuse me of being the most devoutly religious person they’ve ever met, but I do tend to say a little prayer every time I pass through the metal detector, or as I like to think of it, the Tunnel of George.

So far, everybody, and I mean everybody, has been really nice to me this whole week. They’ve bent over backwards to make me feel welcome, and I really appreciate it.

However, with my luck, George probably isn’t a fan of seeing his name in print. With this column, I might have woke up a dormant Dirty Harry. He might be waiting for that first time I set that buzzer off. I fear if that happens, a full-body cavity search might be in my future.

Be gentle George. I’ll try to do better.

You still need to vote ​ o the Editor, T I’m hearing more and more people say they aren’t going to vote this year in the November election. Their reason? I’m speaking broadly now, but the overall feeling is neither one of the presidential candidates deserves their vote. In other words, they don’t think Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, either one, deserves their vote, and they don’t want either one of them leading our country.

While I agree we don’t have much of a choice this year, I still believe we should educate ourselves and go to the polls. When we are there, we should cast our vote for the

best person or candidate for the office, even though I agree there are things about each candidate I find disturbing.

Some have predicted a very low voter turnout for this election. What will that say to countries around the world who have their eyes on us?

Do your homework now, and make sure you vote in November. It’s your right, and regardless of who is on the ballot, it should be considered an honor.

A question about the team on the sidelines To the Editor, In the sports page (BCR) on Sept. 17, it was stated how tough it is on the team to play both the offence and defense. I ask, “Why?” There is a team on the sidelines anxious to get in the game.

These guys practice hard, lift weights and get good grades. Why not play them?

Believe the guys could use a break.

Just asking, “Why?” Betty Dieci Sheffield

It’s harvest time in Bureau County Fall. My favorite time of year. This is the time of year when the weather beings to cool; the leaves begin to turn colors; and harvest begins in Bureau County once again.

This year we have high expectations for the corn and soybean crop because of the great weather Mother Nature has provided us all year long. In return, the crop throughout the countryside has looked really good, and the yield results that have been reported thus far have supported that viewpoint.

One thing I have noticed that has contributed to the good yield results this year is fungicide applications, and our family farm is no different.

Throughout the last few years, our family has run numerous fungicide trials on our corn acres and made some significant observations. Last year, for example, we conducted a trial V5 fungicide application of Fortix vs. a VT fungicide application of Headline AMP. Not only did we see a substantial yield benefit in favor of the VT application, but we saw a 20-40 bushels per acre yield increase where we applied Headline AMP at VT in additional to the V5 application of Fortix.

We contributed this yield gain to the season-long health benefits the two passes of fungicide gave to the corn plant, and we wished we did this twopass approach on all of our corn acres in 2015. Therefore, in 2016 we made a V5 application of Preemptor and made an additional pass of Headline AMP at VT on our corn acres this year. In addition to the two passes of fungicide, we made a third pass with Arysta LifeScience’s new fungicide called Zolera FX approximately two weeks after our VT application on one of our farms.

All year long we have kept an eye on that third pass, and a few weeks ago, the difference was obvious to see.

When we flew the field with our UAV, there was a distinct line separating the additional pass of fungicide because of the greener, healthier corn plants.

When riding in the combine, there was about a 15-bushel per acre increase according to the yield monitor compared where there were only two passes of fungicide. We will analyze the yield data closer once there is a rainy day, but from the monitor we are very happy with the results.

Now when the price of corn is where it currently is, the topic of price always comes up. In our Hefty company, we believe the cost of fungicides are on the decline and will continue to be in the coming years. For example, a half rate of generic Quadris, an Azoxystrobin, can be purchased for around $3 an acre. Now I am not one to argue that price is not important, but if I can get a good return on investment by using multiple applications of fungicide, I am all for it.

On our farm we have seen that fungicide brings a good return on investment. That is why we are excited to

Matt Denton COMMENTARY

share our story. If you are considering applying fungicides to your farm, remember these points: • Fungicides are a preventative application. They must be applied before the disease hits the plant in order to protect the maximum amount of yield. • There are plant health benefits.

There actually are changes made inside plants after fungicide applications that cause the plants to respond to stresses differently. Even if you do not have disease issues, a fungicide application can pay dividends. • Coverage is critical. Fungicides do not move well inside the plant and can only protect the plant tissue they come in contact with. If you do not get spray coverage on the lower leaves, or leaves have not yet emerged, those leaves are unprotected.

On a personal note, on behalf of the entire Hefty Seed Co. – Princeton Staff would like to thank Princeton and the surrounding communities for all of the support we received during our grand opening on Sept. 13. The well wishes we received were overwhelming and much appreciated. We cannot thank the Princeton Chamber of Commerce enough for welcoming us a new member and for their support during this time. We at Hefty Seed Co. – Princeton are proud to bring another local business to the Princeton area. Please stay tuned because more exciting things are still to come.

Importantly, this time of year is a busy time for all farmers in the area.

That is why I would like to emphasize caution and patience to both farmers and non-farmers. Farmers are busy taking the crops out of the fields and transporting them to a grain storage facility to be used to feed and fuel (ethanol) not only the U.S., but also the world.

Please slow down when coming up on slower moving equipment and please pass when it is safe to do so.

Even if you have to slow down to 20 mph and follow a tractor for two miles, it takes only six minutes of your time.

This is approximately equivalent to waiting for two stoplights.

I know that some farmers, when the opportunity allows, move over or even stop to allow motorists to pass at a safe time. I cannot express this point enough, by taking a few extra moments we can get both the motorist and farmer home safely to their families. Please remain vigilant ,and together we can have a prosperous Harvest 2016.

Oeder capped a 7-0 PHS run to open the first set with a block and kill. She later capped a five-point Tigresses run with a kill to give PHS a 19-9 lead.

Hall coach Demi Salazar said the Lady Devils should have been able to neutralize Oeder better than they did.

“You don’t deal with people like that. You just make sure it’s coming on your side,” he said. “If your people are doing the right thing, those people disappear. And I don’t mean to say it (bad) that way. Our intent was that we’d hit.

We’d seen some all-staters when we went down to state (in 2005). As long as they don’t get the ball, you win.

“That was our intent.

But we had so many serve receive errors the first game, that we were so far behind. What we were trying to do was just get a lead.”

Sorenson teamed up with Jenna Grimmer for a block party to make it 12-7.

The Tigresses took off from there, stretching their lead to 20-9 to put the game out of reach. Oeder served an ace to make it 24-13. Hall closed to 24-16 before being whistled for a net violation for match point.

Hall committed five service errors in the second set alone. Salazar said the Lady Devils don’t usually miss that many, “but we did.”

Along with Oeder, other leading contributors for PHS were Anna Murray (5 kills, 8 points), Scaggs (5 kills), Vigars (7 points, 8 assists) and Grimmer (11 assists, 2 kills).

Lusietto led Hall with six kills and two blocks. Abby Hoscheid added two aces.

• Notes: PHS swept all levels of play 2-0 with the sophomores winning 25-17, 25-18 and the freshmen 26-24, 25-14. Longtime PHS assistant coach Eric Tinley, who started coaching volleyball at PHS in 1989, will retire at the end of the season. He said “It’s been a good run.”

BUREAU VALLEY 34, SHERRARD 21

A Homecoming parade Four hard quarters lead Storm past Sherrard in Manlius

BY DAN DWYER sports@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — The Bureau Valley Storm have had one mission besides winning in mind all season and that’s to put four solid quarters of football together.

They did just that as BV turned Friday’s rain-soaked affair in Manlius into a full four quarters and a 34-21 Homecoming victory over the Sherrard Tigers.

“We’ve talked about playing four hard quarters and our guys came out and executed tonight,” BV coach Spencer Davis said. “We slowed down there in the middle when they made adjustments, but we countered what they were doing and our kids were able to take advantage of some of their miscues.”

BV started out showing their strength on both offense and defense as the Storm defense forced a three and out and two fumbles in the first three Sherrard Tiger possessions which the BV offense turned into 14 points at the other end of the field.

The BV defense came through big in more ways than one on the night as they also faced a fourth and four from their own 12-yard-line with a two-touchdown advantage as senior linebacker Hunter Schoff and junior defensive lineman Alex Peck stuffed the Sherrard runner at the line of

scrimmage to preserve the 14-0 first quarter BV edge.

“We liked what we saw tonight on both sides of the ball but we especially made some solid plays that kept us in the game on defense,” Davis said. “Our seniors and our upperclassmen really stepped it up tonight and showed some heart.”

Despite having a 56-yard punt return touchdown called back, BV junior wideout Bryan Herr would not be denied paydirt as he got a little help from his team as they marched down the field and junior quarterback Drake Davis found a leaping Herr in the left corner of the end zone for a 15-yard strike and a 28-7 Storm lead with 6:44 to play in the fourth quarter.

BV gained a lot of ground on the legs of Davis with 18 carries for 136 yards that included a 59-yard scamper but the real damage came from senior running back Caje Peterson as he bulldozed his way to 39 yards on 13 carries and pounded in two scores, one from five yards out and one from nine yards out.

“Caje played a heck of a game on both sides of the ball,” Davis said.

“He ran the ball extremely well on a sloppy night like this. We’d ask him to manage the ball on the offense and then he came back and made some nice plays on the defensive side of the ball as well.”

STERLING 41, YORKVILLE 0

Sterling rolls Foxes Warriors defense able to stop long drives in crossover win

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

STERLING – Every Sterling drive but one ended in Yorkville territory, and every Sterling drive except two resulted in points as the Golden Warriors beat the Foxes 41-0 on Friday at Roscoe Eades Stadium.

Two touchdowns from Andrew Spaulding, two more from Latrell Vaughn, a Trey Morse score on a read option, and a pair of Tony Diaz field goals provided the offense, and the defense made sure it was more than enough, pitching their second shutout of the season.

“We know it’s really important to score early, so after the first one, we really wanted it after that,” Spaulding said. “We just kept pushing it hard.”

Spaulding finished with 61 yards on 14 carries. Nyrel Sullivan and Vaughn each gained 89 yards.

Yorkville threatened with its first drive of the game, reaching the Sterling 22-yard line on nine straight rushing plays before Trevor King intercepted a pass at the goal line.

“They kind of came right at us early on,” Sterling coach Jon Sch-

lemmer said. “They’re probably the most physical team that we’ve seen this year. For us to be able to clamp down, we had some kids make some big plays at the right time. Even on some of those long drives that they had, we were able to make plays to stop them.”

Alek Duran picked off a pass early in the second quarter to set Sterling up at the Yorkville 33-yard line. Sterling also recovered a fumble in Yorkville territory.

“We’ve got to take the ball away,” Schlemmer said. “That’s something we preach in practice, and our kids do a great job.”

The Foxes reached the Sterling 5-yard line later in the first half, but went backward thanks to a pair of penalties and wound up punting on fourth-and-goal from the 29. The Foxes got into Sterling Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com territory two more times, one on Sterling’s Marcus Shetter (bottom) and Trevor King (18) bring down Yorkville’s Jason Lewan. the final play of the first half and the other late in the second when a fourth-down attempt failed at The Red Zone the Warriors’ 49.

COMMENTARY

Sterling O-line sparks attack T

rey Morse had plenty of time, Sterling running backs had plenty of room, and the Warriors had plenty of success moving the ball down the field Friday.

As four different backs gained 60 or more yards, they gave credit to the guys up front who paved the way.

“I wouldn’t be anywhere without my line, obviously,” Andrew Spaulding said.

Running behind that line, the Golden Warriors’ backs recorded 319 rushing yards on 55 carries, an average of 5.8 yards every time Sterling ran the ball.

Morse was not sacked in the game. The quarterback scrambled twice, both for long gains, but those were due more to receivers being covered downfield than pressure on him from the Foxes’ defensive line.

The line features juniors like Tyler Willman, Tyler Hanrahan, and Michael Eberhardt, as well as sophomore John Rahn.

“Our line, we may not be the biggest, but we know what our assignments are,” Willman said.

“Our coaches have us prepared for just about anything.”

Willman credits a lot of that success to preparation, especially from the multiple looks the offensive line will get in practice throughout the week from the scout team.

ericINGLES Assistant sports editor. He can be reached at eingles@ saukvalley. com or 815625-3600, ext. 5555.

“Either way they go, we’re ready to block it because we’ve practiced it,” Willman said. “Our guys know where they need to be.”

With the big-play ability of some of the backs, sometimes where the offensive line needs to be is downfield. Nyrel Sullivan had a 24-yard carry to set up Sterling’s third touchdown Friday. Latrell Vaughn’s first carry of the night went for 64 yards and set up a touchdown by Spaulding three plays later.

“I think the biggest part for us is getting to that second level,” Willman said. “With our running backs, they’re able to get to that second level. If we’re not able to get to the second level and open up holes for them, they’re not able to run free.”

“Up front, I thought we played our best game,” Sterling coach Jon Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com Schlemmer said. “Those guys have Sterling’s Trey Morse runs through the middle of the Yorkville defense as his offensive line come a long way, some young paves the way Friday night at Roscoe Eades Stadium. kids, but they’re getting better.”

DIXON 26, STILLMAN VALLEY 18

Through the air Dixon’s Wilcox throws for three TDs in win over Stillman

BY PATRICK MASON pmason@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5550 @pm222

STILLMAN VALLEY – Noah Wilcox knows the importance of the quarterback position. That’s why he tries so hard to not make any mistakes.

The Dixon quarterback succeeded at doing just that, and was nearly perfect Friday in a Big Northern win over host Stillman Valley, 26-18.

“I have to keep my composure at all times,” Wilcox said. “I need to be the rock that the guys look to when things aren’t going our way.”

It didn’t bother Wilcox that a number of snaps hit the soggy grass before his hands, and he didn’t seem to care that a small window was closing when he threw pass after pass into tight coverage.

All part of the plan.

Wilcox hooked up with six different receivers for 213 yards and three touchdowns. His 18-for-25 effort kept the Cardinals’ defense honest, and allowed running back Arthur Cox to wiggle and rumble his way to a big game on the ground.

The Dukes (5-1) scored on their first two possessions. Jared Harrison caught a 63-yard scoring pass, then Wilcox found Jake Pitman for an 11-yard strike. His third TD pass was to Cox for 56 yards on the first possession of the second half.

“It’s all about trust,” Wilcox said. “All of these guys have great hands, and I know they’re going to get open. I just have to put it where they can catch it.”

Dixon’s big-play ability was important, because the Cardinals coudn’t be stopped on the ground. Fullback Brady Atchison ran for 193 yards on 35 carries, part of a 291-yard rushing attack.

The Cardinals (1-5) kept it close, and even had a chance to go ahead with a field-goal try late in the fourth, but opted to go for it on fourth-and-4 and were stopped.

That’s when Cox, who ran for 125 yards, added another big play and capped the scoring with a 27-yard run.

“We had them,” Atchison said.

“But their defense made some plays, and we keep hurting ourselves. Dixon put together a few big scoring plays, and we couldn’t match it.”

COMMENTARY

Old-school football at its finest I

t was an old-school kind of football night in Stillman Valley.

First there was a persistent mist that made it seem as if Dixon and the Cardinals were playing in a thick fog. Poor conditions during a football game always seem to add another layer of fun.

There was the power running game, and, oh, was it powerful. Then there was defense, the type of defense that reminds you that both sides of the ball can win games.

The Dukes brought that defense on the road Friday, and spoiled the Cardinals’ homecoming game with a 26-18 Big Northern win.

Stillman Valley fullback Brady Atchison was a chore to handle all night, running behind a talented offensive line. Every time he touched the ball, Atchison ran for a positive gain, which is impressive because he had 35 carries. “[Stillman Valley] Coach [Mike] Lalor is going to make you respect that fullback,” Dixon coach Dave Smith said. “He coaches a heck of an offensive line, and he’s

NEWMAN 38, PRINCETON 8

Bending, but not breaking Long drives, short field sends Newman to victory

BY KEVIN HIERONYMUS khieronymus@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — There would be no upset again when Princeton and Sterling Newman met on the gridiron Friday at Bryant Field. The Comets defense wouldn’t let the Tigers have a chance.

The Comets seized a 24-8 halftime lead and their defense held firm in the second half, shutting the Tigers out en route a 38-8 victory in Three Rivers Mississippi Conference play.

“Very happy with a our defense.

Again we bent, but didn’t break.

Came up with big made plays when we needed to. I thought that was the difference,” Newman coach Mike Papoccia said. “We had some turnovers that really helped us there especially on their second possession and we had a short field. We rolled in the first half, offensively.

“Second half, I thought we were a little flat. We’ve been like that for some one reason in some of our games. I told our kids we’ve got to learn to put people away, at least keep the pressure on them. I really didn’t think we did a whole lot of that in second half.”

The Comets mounted a 15 play, 75-yard scoring drive the first time they touched the ball. Eli Leffelman cashed in with a 2-yard touchdown run. Landen Vesley passed to John

Wilson to put the Comets ahead 8-0 at the 5:38 mark of the first quarter.

Princeton fumbled the ball right back to the Comets on first down at the Tiger 33. Nine plays later, Chase Graham crashed in from 1-yard and added the conversion run to make it 16-0.

“I think that took a little wind out of their sails, because they were a little hyped up at the begin. We got up two scores and I think that got them thinking a little.” Papoccia said.

The Tigers got on the board when quarterback Garrett Allen took advantage of the 6-foot-7 frame of senior end Colton Youngren, who hauled down a 9-yard touchdown catch in the corner of the end zone.

Bret Emmerson added the conversion run and the Tigers pulled within 16-8 with 8:34 left in the half. “(Colton) did a nice job and GarBCR photo/Mike Vaughn rett got him a nice ball.

POLO 13, MILLEDGEVILLE 0

Point, counterpoint Marcos’ defense refuses to bend much less break against Missiles

BY ROB LAIRD Special to SVM

POLO – Argument: A football team can thrive with a defense that bends but doesn’t break.

Counter-argument: A team can be yet more successful if its defense doesn’t even bend.

Polo was a living embodiment of that counter-argument Friday night, completely choking the offense of an upstart Milledgeville squad in a 13-0 victory.

Polo, having given up at least 28 points in each of its past three games, looked like an entirely new team this week, limiting the Missiles (4-2) to 2.1 yards per play and nine first downs in the game. Milledgeville entered the red zone only once, and ran just 11 of its 57 plays in Polo territory.

“This is huge for us. The kids believe they can win now,” Polo coach Jeff Bumsted said. “We were questioning ourselves a little bit. This gives them some confidence, and they’re ready to roll now, I think. I hope.”

The defense of the Marcos (4-2) was so stout, that even though the score was just 6-0 for the first three quarters, the lead felt pretty safe to those in attendance. Then, when running back Tristen Aguilar burst through an enormous hole on the right side side for a 48-yard touchdown early in the fourth, that lead seemed

thoroughly insurmountable.

“We had the kids in the right spot at the right time,” Bumsted said.

“We had them moving at the right times. We set up a game plan, and it worked.”

Aguilar finished with 80 yards on 10 carries and scored both Polo touchdowns. The big run in the fourth was an entire game in the making, Bumsted said.

The Marcos had called the play that sprung Aguilar several times earlier in the game, with quarterback Braiden Soltow given the authority to either hand the ball off or keep it in the Marcos zone-read offensive set. Based on his reads, Soltow had called his own number each time, but the coaching staff, mainly offensive coach Hank Grobe, suspected that Aguilar would have room.

“Coach Grobe told him, ‘Just give it,’” Bumsted said. “We put the ball in [Aguilar’s] hands, and he did the job.”

The loss marks the second year in a row that Milledgeville has lost to Polo after starting the season 4-1.

Like last year, the remaining schedule isn’t particularly easy, with undefeated Stockton next week and a tough Dakota squad in Week 8. A winnable game against Warren in Week 9 could hold huge postseason implications depending on playoff points.

WINNEBAGO 48, ROCK FALLS 16

Mistakes matter Rock Falls’ miscues add up to blowout loss to Winnebago

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

WINNEBAGO – With the playoff berth window closing inches at a time, the Rock Falls Rockets had plenty of things go wrong at the wrong time Friday night.

Dropped passes on offense and wide-open holes on defense worked hand-in-hand against the Rockets in a 48-16 loss to the Winnebago Indians at Colburn Athletic Field.

Despite throwing for 304 yards, Rockets quarterback Logan Pillars completed just 17 of 42 passes, and threw two interceptions in the first half.

With 2 minutes to go in the second quarter, Kenzell Jones had a good read on a deep rightside pass and ran it back nearly

50 yards to set up the Indians’ fourth scoring drive.

After trailing 26-0 at halftime, the passing tries by the Rockets (3-3, 3-3 BNC) increased but misfired plenty of times during the third quarter, as Pillars completed just three of his first 13 second-half passes.

The Indians (4-2, 3-2) extended their lead to 34-0 before Pillars found senior teammate Michael Berentes for a 40-yard score with 1:57 left in the third.

“When they got up big,” Berentes said, “it got into our heads, and I didn’t think we were focused enough as we usually are. Usually we don’t drop a lot of passes. I just think it got to our heads and we got a little angry.”

While Berentes believed a lack of focus by the receiving

corps made for the plenty of misses, the Indians had plenty of focus with their running game. They found the bigenough holes to manufacture scoring runs and tallied 376 rushing yards on 43 carries, scoring four TDs. “It’s frustrating because you think you have everything where you need to be, and know what we need to do,” Rockets coach Rich Montgomery said. “I just didn’t get it across to them defensively where we needed to be, and what we needed to do.”

Roger Carlson, who came into the game as the Rockets’ lead receiver, was quiet throughout most of the game, save for three catches for 69 yards. He had his team’s only other score on a 28-yard completion with 7:21 to go in the game.

The Red Zone Player of the game: Justin Whitehouse, Winnebago, 13 rushes, 130 yards, TD He said it: “We did things we haven’t done all year. We dropped wide-open passes … Those things happen, but it just multiplied.” – Rock Falls coach Rich Montgomery Roger Carlson

ST. BEDE 56, ERIE-PROPHETSTOWN 7

Don’t blink on Bruins High-speed St. Bede sprints past Panthers @DanWoessner

PROPHETSTOWN – Two speeds of football were being played on Friday night at Mosher Field.

One was being played by Braidy Shipp and the St. Bede Bruins, and the other by the Erie-Prophetstown Panthers.

The high-speed Bruins wasted little time scoring, and they did it often in a 56-7 Three Rivers Mississippi win.

Quarterback Bryant Eustice connected with Shipp on touchdown passes of 43 and 40 yards late in the second quarter, as the Bruins (4-2, 4-0) extended their lead beyond 40 points.

“Braidy is playing his fourth year on varsity, and you can tell that the game is slower for him than most of the rest of us,” Eustice said. “He just able to do some great things.”

Shipp caught five passes for 143 yards, all in the first half. St. Bede played the second half with their second- and third-string players. Eustice threw for 171 yards, completeing eight of his nine pass attempts.

“We had a lot of big plays tonight,” St. Bede coach Jim

Eustice said. “So much of high school football is about momentum. I think we grabbed that early.

I really respect that program over there, and didn’t expect it to go this way.”

St. Bede only needed eight plays to score its first four touchdowns, all in the first quarter.

On the second play of the game, Adam Poundstone skirted past the tackles of Erie-Prophetstown (1-5, 1-2) defenders for a 55-yard touchdown run.

After picking up three first downs, the Panthers were forced to punt. St. Bede’s Nick Szczepaniak returned Nathan Pierceson’s punt 85 yards for a TD. Justin Darnell scored on a 37 run, and Bryant Eustice scored on a 29 TD run to put St. Bede up 28-0 after one quarter.

Erie-Prophetstown’s lone Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com score came on a 2-yard run by Erie-Prophetstown’s Connor Reiley (right) attempts to stop St. Bede’s Bryant Eustice on Friday.

Garrett Passmore led EP with 73 The Red Zone rushing yards, and Conner Reiley had 63 yards.

Player of the game: Braidy Shipp, St. Bede, 5 receptions, 143 yards, 2 TDS “We spent the whole week workHe said it: “It’s hard to beat a team on their homecoming. Last year, I think we ing on stopping their offense,” played EP on our homecoming. Sometime it just comes down to who can ignore all Jim Eustice said. “It was really the rest of the stuff that’s going on, and just play football.” – St. Bede senior Bryant nice to see them execute so well.

Eustice We didn’t tackle well last week Braidy Up next: Erie-P’town at Kewanee, 7:30 Friday; Princeton at St. Bede, 2 p.m. Sunday against Kewanee, and this was a Shipp big improvement from there.”
