Mautino is Illinois Auditor General The first constitutional executive officer from Bureau County

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — State Rep. Frank Mautino of Spring Valley is Illinois’ next Auditor General and the first constitutional executive officer from Bureau County.

Mautino was approved for the position on Tuesday, Oct. 20, as he won support from both the Senate and House of

Representatives.

The Senate voted 55-0, and the House voted 102-10.

Mautino will replace Illinois Auditor General William Holland, who will retire after 23 years of service at the end of the year.

On Wednesday, Mautino was feeling proud and honored by the confirmation.

“It was great support.

A lot of good stories and

nice things were said, which was very humbling,” he said.

Mautino also received a pleasant surprise visit from Holland following the confirmation on Tuesday. Holland joined Mautino in passing his final bill, which was for Streator’s hospital.

“We actually spent the afternoon talking about the transition and office, but he was there for the

passing on my last bill, which was very special,” Mautino said.

While Mautino looks forward to his new life chapter, he admits he has bittersweet feelings about leaving his House seat. Mautino has served the 76th District since 1991, when he succeeded his father’s seat.

“I’m going to miss the House of Representatives. I’ve been here

since I was 12 years old,” he said. “From my time here, I’ve enjoyed what I’ve done and been fortunate enough to help thousands of people build schools, build roads and help people in need, which is what the job is — helping towns grow a bit.”

Taking a minute to look around Bureau County, Mautino mentioned the larger projects he helped bring to the area, includ-

Spare parts Princeton gets a deal on electric department engine parts

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton City Council agreed to purchase used spare engine parts for the electric department at its meeting Monday, Oct. 19.

The parts were offered to the city from a power plant in St. Cloud, Fla. According to Commissioner Bob Warren, if the city was in a situation where they had to purchase the parts new, it would cost more than $2 million.

The used parts from Florida will only cost the city $210,000 — packaging and shipping is included in that cost.

Warren said the parts would be for the city’s Enterprise engines, which are less reliable than some of the other engines.

“I know 10 years ago we had to replace a crankshaft in one of the Cooper engines, and that crankshaft alone was $180,000,” he said.

Jeff Mangrich, electrical superintendent, confirmed the engine parts would come in handy and could be used for two engines at the department.

“We only have a few extra parts on hand, and many parts are hard to get. When we have this opportunity, we usually seize it,” he said, adding ordering a single part is not only costly, but could have a delivery time of 56 weeks.

“If you can find used parts out there, generally you can

Farming done the ‘Wright’ way Tiskilwa family invites students to their farm to learn about agriculture

By Eric Engel

“This really exposes them to a rural way of life, and it’s not just the kids who learn things each year, but the adults who attend as well.”

eengel@bcrnews.com

TISKILWA — Children learn about their surroundings by interacting with them, so Glen and Judy Wright thought up a way for children to learn about agriculture — have them come stand in the cornfield and watch the combine at work.

For close to the past decade, the Wrights, who live south of Tiskilwa, have opened their farm to students from Lincoln Elementary School in Princeton to help them better understand the agriculture that affects so much of their environment. They did so again on Wednesday, Oct. 14.

Joann Wright, daughter-in-law of Glen and Judy Wright, said the outdoor classroom started when her children asked if their classmates could come see what happened on a farm, and the event has grown like a stalk in the summer sun.

“This really exposes them to a rural way of life, and it’s not just the kids who learn things each year, but the adults who attend as well,” said Joann Wright, who is surprised about how little some people know about the agriculture that surrounds them.

Judy Wright voiced her concern over the lackluster efforts of the industry in educating the masses, and Joann Wright said that’s why her family is so enthused to share their knowledge during a “field trip that’s close to home and doesn’t cost any money.”

“The kids come out for both the planting and harvesting season,” said Joann Wright, indicating the full realm the students experience. “The Farm Bureau girls go inside and do projects with the kids, and they’ve always done a great

Joann Wright job.”

Jill Frueh, Bureau County Farm Bureau manager, said the tours offer students insight on the entire growing season from start to finish. With four stations that last 45 minutes each, Frueh said the children get a vast education on a part of their daily lives.

Gracey Dale taught the lesson Wednesday as part of the Farm Bureau ag in the classroom program, and Frueh said students always write a thank you note to the Wright family following their experience.

“A lot of these kids could stay around and work in the fields when they grow up,” said Frueh, mentioning the possibilities for so many children in the agricultural profession. “This is an agricultural community, and a lot of kids don’t know their own backyard, so this helps them learn.”

Post offices to display Pink Power

PRINCETON — October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Since Oct. 1, through Saturday, Oct. 31, the Princeton Post Office is getting its pink on for a “Pink at the Post Office” event to promote the sale of the Breast Cancer semipostal stamp.

The Princeton Post Office is one of several hundred post offices in the Central Illinois district which covers post offices within many zip code areas that are participating in this event.

The third- and fourth-grade classes at Bureau Valley North visit residents of the Walnut nursing home on Tuesday, Oct. 20, as part of Make a Difference Week. Students are spending the week taking part in service activities to help make a difference in their community.

Making a difference Bureau Valley North students take their kindness on the road

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

WALNUT — The Bureau Valley North Elementary and Junior High School students have been participating in community service activities this week in light of Make a Difference Week at school.

On Tuesday, Oct. 20, the third- and fourthgrade classes walked over to Heritage Health, the Walnut nursing home, to spend a little time with the residents.

Danette Minks, director of nursing, and Jan Walters, charge nurse, explained how the senior citizens look forward to the students’ visit. Minks said it lightens up the place, and the students bring a sort of energy the nursing home otherwise does not have on a regular basis.

The students participated in do-si-do dances and did exercises with the senior residents. Even though not all residents took part in the activities

with the students, Walters said many enjoyed just watching the students take part in the fun.

Both nurses said the students’ visit, even if a short one, truly makes a difference.

Other activities students from the school took part in at the nursing home throughout the week included bowling with pumpkins, playing bingo and singing songs for the senior citizens.

As part of Make A Difference Week, the junior high students also planned to deliver jack-o-lanterns to various Walnut businesses as a kind gesture.

Make a Difference Week was something school counselor Vicki Bailey brought with her when she started her position at BVN last year. She said while the idea came from her, the teachers helped brainstorm activities for the students and worked as a team to bring the activity-filled week together.

Bailey said using the inspiration of the national recognition day, which will be held Saturday, Oct. 24, the week is about giving back to the community and providing service to others.

She said it teaches students that not everything is about them; it’s about giving back to others, as well. She added that giving back can mean something as small as spending a half-hour at the nursing home visiting with the residents.

“It doesn’t take much time to make a difference.

Even the little things can make a big difference to people,” she said.

It’s Bailey’s second year spearheading Make a Difference Week. She said it’s something she hopes to continue at the school — with each year focusing on a different part of the community.

Make a Difference Day was created in 1992.

Make A Difference Day is the largest single-day of volunteering in the country.

opportunity to raise money and awareness in support of important social issues.”

The Breast Cancer Research stamp was the first semipostal stamp in U.S. history, when it was issued on July 29, 1998, at the White House. By law, 70 percent of the net amount raised from the sale of the stamp goes to the National Institutes of Health, and 30 percent goes to the Medical Research Program at the Department of Defense. Almost 1 billion breast cancer semi-postal stamps have been sold to date since its issuance, with over $80.9 million raised for research. It will remain on sale until December 2015.

“I can look around the district and say none of this I did myself, but I had a part in doing these things. That’s the hardest thing to leave,” he said.

Looking ahead, Mautino is ready to take on the duties of Auditor General. He served the audit commission for 18 years —12 of those years as its chairman, working closely with Holland and his staff.

“Not only is it a great opportunity, but a challenge. I follow the footsteps of a brilliant Auditor General who served the people of Illinois for 23 years and has been a great role model,” he said. “He has run the office bipartisan and does it right. I want to emulate that model and do things as professionally as General Holland did and General Cronson before him.”

Mangrich confirmed the used engine has run 21,000 hours, and the crankshaft has run less than 10,000 hours.

to inspect the parts before they are shipped to Princeton.

Mangrich confirmed the money for the purchase was not in the electric department’s budget, therefore reserves would have to be used to make the purchase.

Commissioner Ray Mabry said he thought it was a prudent purchase.

“I think based on what Commissioner Warren has told us in the past — we certainly want to trust our department heads on this one. This is an opportunity to move forward, and we need to be looking seriously at purchasing this,” he said.

Warren made the motion to purchase the parts at a cost of $210,000. The motion was seconded by Neumann. The council unanimously approved the purchase.

In other news: • The council unanimously approved an ordinance authorizing street repairs on South

Church Street and in the Claude Bailey Subdivision.

The work will be done by Advanced Asphalt of Princeton at a cost not to exceed $65,476. The council also unanimously approved waiving the second reading of the ordinance in order for the work to be begin immediately. Mayor Joel Quiram said waiving the second reading is something he normally would not recommend, however, this is work that needs to get started now due to winter weather conditions on the horizon. He confirmed the city will not be financing this project, but rather the money would come out of this year’s budget.

He said sacrifices may have to be made in other city departments for the purchase.

There were some serious problems discovered regarding engine over-heating and knocking. These problems required the engine to be dismantled to discover the source of the radiator leak. The cost of these repairs will be $2,304.26 and are being completed

Lawson also reported that because of the lack of proper maintenance, it has become necessary to replace the two front tires on this same squad car. The two tires will be purchased and will match the other two

After the tire installation, a proper maintenance schedule will be set up and maintained.

Carus, manufacturers across North America prepare for the future LASALLE — The first Friday in October is recognized internationally as Manufacturing Day, a time when companies across North America open their doors to show young people career opportunities in modern manufacturing – and to address a looming challenge facing the nation’s economy.

Locally, Carus Corporation marked the occasion by hosting aspiring entrepreneurs at the company’s LaSalle manufacturing facility. The Illinois Valley Entrepreneurial Opportunities class from LaSalle-Peru Township High School (LPHS) geared up for a plant tour in what’s becoming an annual outing.

Manufacturing Day creators, including employers and industry associations across North America, predict 3.5 million manufacturing jobs will open in the next decade, and a growing skills gap could leave 2 million of them unfilled. Carus is

part of a growing group of manufacturers helping to prepare young people to take advantage of these career opportunities.

Manufacturing Day kicked off Carus’ busiest month for educational outreach.

National Chemistry Week is just around the corner, and Carus volunteers are preparing to bring chemistry demonstrations and other educational opportunities to students locally and around Chicago.

Carus will celebrate National Chemistry Week during the last week of October by visiting several local middle schools with a collection of science “experiments” showcasing lights, colors, sounds and steam created through chemistry. Carus also participates in the Illinois Chemical Education Foundation’s annual Careers Conference this month, bringing their science show to Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry for more than 2,000 Chicagoland students.

Appreciate all Women of Distinction After months of preparation, another Women of Distinction luncheon has come and gone. I greatly enjoy attending these luncheons and hearing the inspiring speeches from the award winners.

This year was exceptional. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan was an engaging and sincere speaker, and all the women honored that day definitely deserved the recognition.

In my life, there have been many Shannon women along the way who have Serpette helped shape and inspire me — some COMMENTARY have been relatives; some have been teachers; some have been coworkers. They haven’t won any awards for their efforts, but their influence has made all the difference in my life.

My grandmother, Ruth McCracken of Amboy, was everything a grandmother should be — she was sweet, kind and full of love for her grandchildren. But when I was a child, she wasn’t nearly as interesting a figure to me as my grandpa, Ken McCracken, was.

My grandmother didn’t know how to drive a car and seemed to spend the bulk of her time cleaning her house, which to my youthful eyes, was considered punishment — it was something you wouldn’t want to do for five minutes, let alone for hours at a time.

In contrast, my grandfather seemed to be a larger than life figure to me. He was the mayor of Amboy, so everyone seemed to know him. He had served in the military. Even though he didn’t discuss it with me, it seemed so worldly and mysterious to me at the time. He was the one who would tease me and make me laugh as my grandmother sat quietly in the background.

It wasn’t until decades had passed and my own children had arrived that I fully began to understand just how remarkable my grandmother was. She was the glue of her family. Without her hard work and attention to detail, her house would have remained just a house, not a home. I can’t even imagine how much time she spent making her home nice for her family. While she may have seemed like an ordinary woman while I was growing up, in recent years, I’ve realized just how extraordinary she was.

My own mom is one of the toughest people I know.

Physical pain doesn’t phase her much, and she is able to block out unpleasant thoughts and worries like no one else I’ve ever met.

She is a multi-tasking whiz who managed to have nine children, go back to work full time once the youngest reached school age and still maintained the cooking and cleaning for our large family. These days she entertains her grandchildren when she babysits them. My children often remark how she doesn’t seem like a grandmother at all because of all the jumping around and dancing she does with them.

I’ve learned important lessons from both my grandmother, who gave her time and energy so selflessly, and my mother, who is always working on some new project and isn’t afraid to tackle anything. From them, I’ve learned to put family first, be strong and always work toward self improvement. I really believe if everyone, man or woman, took those lessons to heart, the world would be a much better place.

Letting go ... with college life College planning for dummies.

I’d like to investigate such a book if it exists because I think I qualify for the level below dummy, as in I’m not sure the book could even remedy my ineptness. I only wish I was joking …

I won’t bore you with the details, but within the past year, while finishing out my associate’s of science, I’ve gone from pursuing dentistry, to chiropractic, back to dentistry, to my fallback, physical therapy, and finally to my actual major, which you’ll discover shortly.

Several years ago my grandma had a knee replacement, and after I tagged along to a few of her therapy sessions I became intrigued with the art of restoring people to health. I wasn’t completely in love with it, but I knew medical fields make a good career, and I do believe PT is a critical part of recovery, so I stuck with it. Besides, I had all of the prerequisites already, so why not?

I was so frustrated with deciding on a major that I had barely considered which college to attend, so literally only months before the next semester started I began college searching. I applied to at least four schools, changed my mind weekly, and finally because I just needed to decide I landed on Olivet Nazarene University — the most highly recommended to me. The decision started to solidify, and in early June, my mom and I left last minute for a twoday new student orientation event. It was OK, not exactly the living situation I was expecting, but what’s college if you don’t experience a little claustrophobic dorm life?

I got my classes, paid my fees, decided on my roommate, and was all set to go. But even greater than

Danae Ross COMMENTARY the so-so dorm situation was my disappointment with the choir. My mom has always awed me with the experiences and trips she had being a part of her college choir at Judson University, and over time, it became a dream of mine to do the same thing. I didn’t really like Judson when we attended a friend’s senior exhibit a while back, but the lure of the choir stuck in my mind. Olivet’s choir is fantastic, I’m sure, but they don’t travel across the United States and the oceans like Judson, and while that’s not what I’m going to school for, I still want to squeeze absolutely everything that I can out of my “college experience.” That’s what I’m paying all the money for, right?

So a month before classes started I applied to Judson. I visited the campus and signed up for classes, and a week later my mom and I drove there to move me in. I bawled. My mom was leaving me, I suddenly felt so unsure of my major, and I didn’t see the point of going to school if I wasn’t passionate about what I was studying. “All the time in the world” was suddenly gone, and I was up against a brick wall. There wasn’t any more time to mess around. I prayed, cried a lot and scoured my brain for an answer. What did I love to do? The only thing that continually prodded my mind was writing, something I had considered before,

but also had been discouraged about by others who feared I would end up starving on the streets as some measly journalist.

I was miserable, though. I didn’t even want to be at school, a place I usually thrive, and it was eating me alive. I shared my insecurity with one of my friends, and together we saw God work as the next workshop we attended was about exploring majors and discovering what you are truly meant to do. Saturday, two days before school started, I went to the registration office and officially left Exercise and Sports Science to become an English writing major. I was jittery with fright, but the excitement that gripped me assured me that God hadn’t steered me wrong. I was giving up two years of laboring through difficult science classes, but it suddenly didn’t matter.

Too many applications, tears and indecisions later, I can now say that I love my classes and my school, and I don’t regret a single thing. I didn’t take the conventional route, per usual, but I know that God was forcing me to rely on His plan and that every indecision and stressful event was for my good. I completely understand how terrifying it is not knowing what you want to do with your life, but in my experience, needing to have a plan brings way more stress than relief, and I am convinced of the truth from Woody Allen: “If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.”

He is in control. He will provide.

That is all we need to know.

It’s do or die for the Bruins

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — There are not many teams who have played as tough of a schedule as the St. Bede Bruins. In fact, only eight other schools who have clinched a playoff berth or remain playoff hopeful going into the last week of the season have more playoff points (combined wins by opponents).

The Bruins have compiled a 4-4 record facing a slate of Three Rivers Mississippi Conference foes and TRAC crossover games accumulating a combined 41 wins through the first eight weeks of the season.

The regular season finale will simply be more of the same for the Bruins, who welcome the Comets of Sterling Newman to the academy gridiron at 7:30 p.m. Friday. It is the BCR Game of the Week.

The mission is simple for the Bruins. Win and you’re in. Lose, and pack the equipment Monday.

“This is a big, big game for us. We know what we can accomplish as a team and are excited to accept the challenge,” senior captain Andrew Pyszka said.

“We have an incredible opportunity this week, beating Newman to get into the playoffs is something the kids would never forget,” SBA coach Jim

“We know what we can accomplish as a team and are excited to accept the challenge.”

• Andrew Pyszka SBA captain Eustice said. “Newman is incredibly well coached and is going to punch us in the mouth early. We didn’t respond to Orion’s early punch last week and hopefully our leaders will make sure we respond this week.”

St. Bede has yet to beat a team with a winning record, topping out with a 33-14 homecoming win over Erie/Prophetstown.

However, its schedule includes losses to stateranked Princeton, Hall and Orion in Three Rivers play.

Newman makes its second straight trek to Spring Valley, having escaped with a come-from-behind 22-21 win down the road at Hall last week.

The Bruins must take care of their business, Eustice said, to be successful Friday night.

“We are going to have to eliminate the turnovers,

Volleyball: Princeton def. Hall 25-22, 26-24

Tigresses hold off resilient Lady Devils

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — In the final match of the season for both the Hall Lady Red Devils and Princeton Tigresses, the Red Devils came out on top with a 25-22, 26-24 victory on Senior Night Tuesday at Prouty Gym. The Tigresses had to fend off rallies in both games from the Lady Red Devils as the Hall squad always had some fight left in them, even pushing the second game into extended play.

“Our starting setter was out, (Jenna Grimmer) is out with a concussion, so we had to pull a sophomore up in Katelynn Vigars and she played extremely well. We had two or three girls on the floor tonight that haven’t had a whole lot of playing time this year so it was kind of

like just throwing a team together,” Princeton coach Andy Puck said.

An ace by senior outside hitter Hailey Schultz put some separation between the two teams in the first game as PHS went up 17-11. The cushion wasn’t there for long as the resilient Lady Devils pulled the game within two points at 24-22 on a block by junior Jenna Lusietto.

“Hall definitely fought back, and they have always played us tough,” Puck said. “We fought through adversity. Would I liked to have dominated this final match going into regional play? Yes, I would have. Like I said we had new pieces to our puzzle on the floor tonight and we were able to persevere and come away with a victory.”

Princeton built short leads throughout the second set and got up by their widest margin on a sideout at 22-16.

Once again Hall showed no signs of quitting as they hung around long enough for senior setter Brooke Keegan to rattle off four points in a row to tie the game at 24.

The Tigresses finished the night off on a serve by senior defensive specialist Mady Cain to seal the victory.

The Tigresses will need to maintain the same type of production from junior middle blocker Courtney Oeder and senior outside hitter Hailey Schultz, who combined for 19 kills, three aces and nine points on the night.

Vigars took her opportunity at the varsity level to chip in nine assists, one dig and three service points.

She shared setting duties with Ellise Piper (6 assists) and Madison Menzel (5 assists).

Sports and history make a good pair Two of my favorite subjects in life have been sports and history.

My life’s major has been sports, from the playing field to the newspaper pages. Throw in my strong interest in history, a college minor of mine, and it’s certainly been a fun double play.

I’ve spent a lot of time double-checking past research on Princeton High School football for the history this year’s team is making. A few trips to the library to look up old yearbooks and going through my files here at the BCR goes a long way.

Kevin Hieronymus HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS

Those old clippings from the 1989 season and other years keep coming up big.

It’s always good to be prepared when some of the old-timers from past seasons don’t quite remember the good old days.

After Week 5, I started

researching the best starts in PHS history. I found there to be six previous Tiger teams to go 5-0.

Only two of those six went to 6-0, leaving this year’s PHS girders the first to make it 7-0.

And now 8-0 on the threshold of going 9-0.

Checking past conference champions from PHS sent me comparing my records here at the BCR with the placard boards at Prouty Gym. Additional research has uncovered two more conference championships bringing PHS’ total to five, including this year’s.

PHS was crowned as back-toback division champions in the NCIC Southwest in 1948 and 1949.

The Tigers went 3-0-1 in ‘48, defeating Mendota (26-0), Rochelle (33-12 on homecoming) and Rock Falls (35-0), while playing Geneseo to a 6-6 tie. Rival Hall was the Northeast champion, 10 years before making the switch to the Southwest Division.

In 1949, PHS was 3-1 for a three-way share of the NCIC Southwest crown with Mendota and Geneseo. The Tigers beat Mendota (14-6), Rochelle (16-0) and Rock Falls (1-0) and lost to

Geneseo (6-2). PHS gained the 1-0 forfeit win over Rock Falls due to the polio death of a Rock Falls player prior to the game.

All-Stater Joe Springer played on both the ‘48 and ‘49 squads The 1986 Tigers went 4-1 in the NCIC Southwest, losing to Rock Falls which was a big upset at the time. Two years before, the Tigers ran the table, sweeping Hall (41-7), Rochelle (28-6), Mendota (35-7), Kewanee (10-7) and Rock Falls (42-28).

Go, Cubs, Gooooo-at Scapegoat saddled with blown save for Cubbies

BY Brenden West Shaw Media Service

DIXON – Murphy’s Law says that anything that can go wrong, will.

On Tuesday night, some baseball fans in Dixon tried to break Murphy’s Law and help their beloved Cubs.

And they did it by watching a goat get exorcised at PatiO’s bar in Dixon.

“They exorcise goats a lot in Chicago, and we thought maybe the problem was we haven’t done it out here in Dixon,” PatiO’s owner Ed Miller said.

Cubs fans know the background. During the 1945 World Series between the Cubs and Detroit Tigers, Billy Goat Tavern owner Billy Sianis brought his pet goat to a game and was asked to leave. Legend has it that the goat was bothering other fans.

Upon leaving, Sianis decried the Cubs, stating they “ain’t gonna win no more.” Many fans believe this is the reason why Chicago hasn’t won a World Series since 1908.

On hand Tuesday night, right before the Cubs attempted their climb out of an 0-2 hole in Game 3 against the New York Mets, diehard Cubs fan-turned-priest Mike Lahey (claiming to be “Father Mike Reilly Lahey,” but failing to mention where he is ordained) led the exorcism in front of dozens of

fellow fans. He told his audience that he has performed “at least” 106 exorcisms on goats in the past.

To plan for the night’s event, Lahey said he watched “The Exorcist” movie 10 times. “I studied this last night on Google, too. It’s really interesting,” he said.

Lahey claimed that Murphy is a distant cousin of the Sianis goat that started the curse. He said fans “have to believe in curses.” “Otherwise why has it taken so long?”

Lahey brought “holy water” (a shooter of alcohol), which he used to “bless” the goat. This was intended to loosen the spirit from the goat’s possessed soul. With the help of fellow Cubs fans, he shrieked: “May the devil arise from you. Praise the lord! Praise the lord!”

After the goat jumped, Lahey said the exorcism was complete.

“See? The devil moved away from him,” he said.

Following the ceremony, Lahey led the Chicago hopeful in prayer, reciting the popular hymn “Go, Cubs, Go.” Murphy the goat appeared unchanged, but Lahey said his exorcism worked. He predicted the Cubs will win this year’s World Series.

Murphy the goat waits in his cage before his exorcism Tuesday night at PatiO’s bar in Dixon.

“They’re going to win the whole thing,” Lahey said. “Hopefully, now we’ve got more time to see them win a couple of times in the series. I definitely think it was the goat. If the goat was more talkative and friendly, maybe this wouldn’t have been necessary.”

“Hopefully this will break the curse,” said Murphy’s owner, David Hamilton.

The Mets, however, won Game 3 by a score of 5-2, helped by the third home run of the series of a batter named, you guessed it, Daniel Murphy. The Mets looked to finish the sweep Wednesday, extending the Curse of the Goat for another year.

Pigskin Previews (Week 9) Sherrard (0-8, 0-5) at Princeton (8-0, 5-0) Game time: 7:30 p.m. Friday, Bryant Field.

BCR insider: The Tigers have reached Phase 9 of the 2015 season. The first eight have been superb, the Tigers becoming the first team in school history to start the season 7-0 and now 8-0.

The Tigers have also clinched, according to BCR research, the first conference championship since 1986, and just the third in school history. PHS won NCIC titles in 1984 and 1986. They will have to safeguard in overlooking a winless Sherrard squad, but that won’t be a problem for Jesse Snyder’s gang, who remain focused on their ultimate goal.

“You can never look past anyone. Sherrard is working just as hard as anyone else for success.

We prepare the same way every week,” Snyder said. The Tiger coach said Sherrard has very good team speed and runs the ball well inside the tackles, and PHS’ goal will be to stop the run. ... Last year’s Week 3 win at Sherrard was the first in the short series for PHS against their former West Central rival/turned Three Rivers foe.

Last week: Sherrard lost to Kewanee 48-6; PHS beat E/P 39-22.

Last year: PHS 21-6.

All-time series: Sherrard 3-1.

Radio: WZOE 1490 AM. Bureau Valley (4-4, 2-3) at Morrison (3-5, 3-2) Game time: 7:30 p.m. Friday.

BCR insider: For the third straight season, the Storm enter Week 9 facing a must-win situation in order to qualify for the playoffs. They have fallen short in each of the past two years, losing to Fulton both times. Even with a win Friday, the Storm will stand on shaky ground to get into the playoffs. They bring in just 28 playoff points (combined wins by opponents) and are guaranteed just three more.

Last year’s cutoff was 39 points for a 5-4 team to qualify. “Not sure we will have enough points, but would be nice to end 5-4. You never know about the number it will take to get in. Should be a good game,” second-year BV coach Spencer Davis said.

Last week: Morrison beat A/L 40-33; BV beat Riverdale 55-0.

Last year: BV 44-6.

Radio: WZOE 98.1 FM.

Game

Hall (6-2, 3-2) at Erie/ Prophetstown (4-4, 2-3) Game time: 7:30 p.m. Friday at Erie.

BCR insider: If their history is any indication, Friday’s game at Erie is going to be a close one. Very close. The Three Rivers rivals have played within one point in each of the past two seasons with Hall escaping with wins each time. Friday’s contest promises to be more of the same, with E/P needing a win to become playoff eligible. The Red Devils are coming off a heartbreaking 22-21 loss itself to Newman, a game it led 21-8 at one point.

They were unable to pull the win out with a last-second field goal, but coach Randy Tieman expects his team to bounce back fine. “I think we will be fine. The boys seem to have moved on, and we will prepare for Erie. We all have to look at the big picture and get ready for the playoffs,” he said. ... Only in their first meeting, when EP dismantled a rebuilding Hall team 56-26, have these meetings not been close from start to finish.

Last week: Hall lost to Newman 22-21; E-P lost to Princeton 39-22.

Last year: Hall 22-21.

clean up our special teams, and play tough, assignment defense,” Eustice said.

The Bruins seek their sixth straight playoff appearance. They have not won a playoff game since reaching the 2A quarterfinals in 2011.

Pyszka has no doubt the opportunity presented Friday will bring out the best in his Bedan brothers.

“Even in practice, it’s already bringing out the best in us and I’m just excited to see what we can do on the field,” he said.

To get their mission accomplished, Pyszka said it will take having “everyone give 110 percent, everyone give their all and show the character inside and what they can do.”

Newman will make its 15th straight playoff berth, a run including three state championships since 2004.

Eight area teams lock up playoff bids

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

It’s time to clear up what’s always a muddy picture for the playoffs until the end. Here’s who’s in, who’s close, who’s out.

Who’s in Princeton (8-0) - The Tigers are heading to the first 9-0 start in school history. They are currently the sixth ranked among 3A teams (414-559).

Newman (7-1) - The five-time state champions are heading to their 15th straight appearance, ranked sixth in 2A in the IHSA playoff outlook.

Annawan/Wethersfield (7-1) - The Titans are ranked fourth in the 2A outlook.

Orion (7-1) - Chargers will go in as Three Rivers Rock champs with a win over winless Riverdale Friday. They stand 14th in 1A (109-326).

Sterling (7-1) - The Golden Warriors, champions of the Northern Illinois Big 12 West, are ranked ninth in 5A (900-1295.25).

Geneseo (7-1) - The Maple Leafs are ranked eighth among 4A schools (567-899).

Hall (6-2) - Hall will make its third straight playoff appearance, ranked 16th in 2A after eight weeks.

Dixon (6-2) - Dave Smith has guided his hometown Dukes to its second straight berth. The Dukes are 23rd in 4A. Who’s on the bubble Rockridge (5-3) - The Rockets should have enough playoff points, but can cut the suspense by beating Kewanee for its sixth win. Rockridge stands 25th among 2A schools.

St. Bede (4-4) - Bruins will have more than enough playoff points, but must beat Newman Friday to get in.

Erie/Prophetstown (4-4) - Same as St. Bede with enough playoff points, the Panthers must beat Hall Friday. E/P stands 32nd in 3A. Bureau Valley (4-4) Even with a win Friday at Morrison, the Storm will need a mathematical miracle to get in. The Storm stand 45th in 1A. Who’s out Amboy/LaMoille (2-6), Mendota (1-7), L-P (3-5).

Poll watching: Princeton remained No. 5 in the final 3A poll of the season, released Tuesday, one spot ahead of Newman.

St. Joseph-Ogden, which received four first-place votes, overtook Wilmington (11 firsts) for the top spot 139-127. Bloomington Central Catholic (107) and Bishop Mac (101)

Hall’s Tori Coble sends a push to the net with Madison Menzel and Courtney Oeder on guard for the Tigresses Tuesday at Princeton

Volleyball From Page 11 TRAC, good for fourth place.

The regular season didn’t end how Hall coach Bernadette Savitch wanted, but she does see the positives in the way her team battled back in each game and was always a short run away from victory.

“I was very proud of our girls. They battled after having a little bit of a slow start, which has been our team’s own personal battle throughout the year but they finished strong,” Savitch said. “I think the

girls feel good about how they played tonight. They held their heads high and battled back.”

The stakes have grown as the regular season gives way to regional play Monday with ninth seeded Hall taking on familiar foe from a few miles down Route 6 in the St. Bede Lady Bruins (8 seed) at 6 p.m.

Monday at the Fieldcrest Regional.

Princeton is in the opposite position as it takes on a not-so familiar foe in Geneseo at the Dixon Regional on Monday.

PHS seniors honored Tuesday were Cain, Menzel, Schultz and Tieg Sisler.

Comment on this story at www.bcrnews. com.

Both years the Tigers dropped the first games of the playoffs to finish at 8-2.

One item of interest I had in my files showed another NCIC championship in 1942. The Tigers beat Hall (34-12), Geneseo (26-0) and Mendota (27-0) while playing Rock Falls to a 7-7 homecoming tie and losing to Kewanee (34-0).

However, the Tigers had to forfeit all their games that season when it was later determined that their team captain had been over age and declared ineligible.

• Tiger trivia: It’s been 12 years since Princeton last made the football playoffs. Do you remember, without looking it up, who Princeton’s last win came over in the playoffs?

Send me an email or tweet if you do.

• FCA meeting at PHS: What a great start for the potential Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter at Princeton High School Tuesday morning. There were 32 kids who attended the organizational meeting.

I’d encourage all PHS student-athletes to check out FCA if you were unable to attend Tuesday.

It’s a great way to unite as a team and in faith.

I will pass on more information on this great organization.

• Back to the Future: Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2015, was the day Marty McFly and Doc traveled to the future in the 1989 movie “Back to the Future Part II.” Of course, they famously see that the Cubs had just won the World Series. As I write this, that future is appearing more and more bleak, as the Cubbies and Mets head into Game 4 of the NLCS Wednesday night. To my friends who bleed Cubbie blue, I say hang in there, you never know. The Red Sox came back from a 3-0 deficit in the ALCS and then swept the Cardinals in the World Series.
