Thanks to the SVE taxpayers Hermes says state still behind on payments to the district

By Becky Kramer news@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — According to Spring Valley Elementary (SVE) Superintendent Jim Hermes, the district is basically surviving on taxpayer dollars.

“Local taxpayers are supporting Spring Valley Elementary School right now,” Hermes told the board at its meeting Wednesday, Oct. 19.

Hermes said the state of Illinois is not releasing money to local school districts at this time, which is evident in the district’s fund balances to date.

“We have only received 14.3 percent of the expected amount of state aid, which is very low for this time of year,” he said, adding very little grant money has been received, and no transportation money from the state is coming in either.

Right now, SVE is surviving on the local tax money that was received at the beginning of the school year.

The board adopted a resolution regarding the working cash fund partial abatement and transfer to the transportation fund. This resolution will allow Hermes to transfer the funds, in case the state doesn’t send SVE the expected transportation fund money.

Also at the meeting, auditor Dwayne Lockas of Roenfeldt and Lockas, P.C. provided the board with the Fiscal Year 2016 independent audit. Lockas indicated there were no

instances of noncompliance, and as of June 30, all fund balances were positive.

The education fund ended the year with more than $2 million in the fund. In FY ‘16, the ed fund was in the red by $19,921 as was budgeted, but the overall budget showed positive fund balances due to reserves.

Lockas is projecting SVE will have a profile score of 3.35 which will put them at the Review Status with the state. This is due to the building project. The official rating will not be released until January.

More than reading, writing and arithmetic ...

Fourth-grade students at Lincoln Elementary School in Princeton recently completed a unit on “The Lemonade War,” a book based on the idea that a brother and sister compete to see who can make the most money in a lemonade stand. The siblings ultimately donated their money to a local animal shelter. Princeton fourth-graders like the idea of helping area animals so much, they, too, decided to hold a bake sale on Wednesday in the school gym to raise money for Friends of Strays and the Tri-County Humane Society. The children who are students of Julie Eisenbarth, Sara Clark, Jaime Patterson and Laurie Quanstrom, raised $800.04, which was split and donated to Friends of Strays and the Tri-County Humane Society.

Hall moves forward on World War II memorial news@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Plans are continuing on the World War II Memorial at Hall High School.

At the Hall High School Board meeting Wednesday, Oct. 19, board member Paul Quinn and Superintendent Mike Struna recently visited Winding Brook Nursery to buy 24 trees. Struna said he selected many different kinds of

trees, so there is a mini arboretum for students to use for science classes.

The new trees replace 24 trees that were had to be cut down for the new school but have since been made into benches for the memorial. In the 1940s, students at Hall planted a tree every time a student lost his life in the military during World War II. A total of 24 men died, and 24 trees were planted.

Those men who died

and who were memorialized with a tree during that time include Willis Anderson, John Boroski, Barrett Corneille, Ellsworth Croissant, Vernon De Zutti, Earl Eiberger, Harry Glover, Carl Krayauskas, Eugene Kuhre, Eugene McElroy, Joseph Lucas, Blaine Manahan, Albert Mazzarona, Arnold McNally, Fred Nestler, Andrew Robich, Harold Russell, Thomas

‘Finding Patience’ Matt Denault shares his art with a calendar featuring his passion

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Are you looking for patience? If so, what price would you pay to own it? Would $25 seem like a bargain?

While finding patience can be as elusive as the stream that constantly trickles over the rocks in the creek bed — stopping for no one, Matt Denault is “Finding Patience” in that very stream and the rocks that live there.

Denault, 30, of Princeton has become quite well-known in the area for his art of rock balancing.

Working in that very stream which is never idle, Denault has been able to slow the chaos in his head and create beauty that confounds not just the laws of gravity, but also finds a world that speaks of composure, self-control, perseverance and predominately ... patience.

Denault’s past could be considered troubling for most.

The untimely deaths of his sister and his mother created a huge hole in his heart — a hole in which he ultimately filled with alcohol.

“My world was flipped upside down after the abrupt passing of my sister and mother. I started down a dark path of self destruction, only finding comfort in the bottom of a beer can. My hands shook violently when I didn’t have my crutch.

I was losing everything,” Denault said.

“In February of 2013, I quit drinking and haven’t looked back. I was infatuated with how still my hands were becoming. Almost obsessed. I’d assumed that a steady hand would be a must to balance rocks, and now mine were. So, I gave it a shot, and it changed my life,” he said, adding he had always been

“I’ve used this art as meditation and therapy.

It’s challenged me to look deep inside myself, and be happy with what I find.”

Rock balancing artist Matt Denault

a fan of well-known rock balancer Michael Grab, but never thought he had the patience or a steady enough hand to attempt the art.

Denault has been balancing rocks since late 2014. Since that time, he’s done about 150 rock formations.

Even with all those balancing acts under his belt, he’s not unlike other artists who will always remember their first piece.

“It was the feeling of letting go; the rocks stood tall and still; it was indescribable,” Denault said of his first rock formation. “So many emotions hit me that morning. I was overwhelmed in the best possible way. I saw the beauty first hand. I was mesmerized. A huge sense of pride came over me.”

Since that first rock formation, Denault’s rock balancing has helped to create a young man, who looks inward for peace, rather than reaching outward and finding frustration.

“I’ve used this art as meditation and therapy. It’s challenged me to look deep inside myself, and be happy with what I find,” he said. “There’s always a constant dance with gravity and Mother Nature. It pushes your boundaries. It’s Earth’s puzzle. It challenges me to balance out negative feelings and reach

a true state of calmness.

There’s always a new lesson each time I go. I take these teachings back to my everyday life.

“It’s taught me to be patient, to be confident in my own skin and believe in myself. It’s given me a sense of purpose. I’ve found peace and understanding,” Denault added.

Denault, who has a quiet and kind demeanor, is humbled by those who appreciate his art, and he has decided to share the patience he’s found by creating a 2017 calendar, which he dubbed “Finding Patience.”

The calendar features a host of Denault’s rock formations, all captured in full color photographs.

The pages of the calendar also have quotes Denault has found that are meaningful to him and also speak of patience.

“Finding Patience” is $25, and the calendars can be purchased at Hoffman’s Patterns of the Past on South Main Street and at Annie’s Little Pots on North Main Street, both in Princeton.

To those who buy Denault’s calendar — whether for themselves or as a gift — he hopes customers will have the same reaction he has when he performs his art.

“I want people to be baffled and intrigued, to bring joy and inspiration in a different way. To

Artwork/Mona Cruse

“Finding Patience” is the name local rock balancer Matt Denault has used for his new calendar. While the rock formations he created and photographed for this 2017 calendar defy gravity, he hopes those who buy his work will find not just patience, but also inspiration in his art.

Princeton resident Matt Denault has spent countless hours in the local creek — alone except for the rocks and water that tend to soothe his soul, as he creates rock formations that defy gravity. Denault has created a 2017 calendar of his artistic endeavors, on sale for $25 at Hoffman’s Patterns of the Past and Annie’s Little Pots in Princeton. defy the impossible,” he said. “I hope to be somebody’s inspiration.”

prints he has for sale on his Facebook page, also called “Finding Patience.”

Denault also plans to

attend other events to showcase his prints and his calendar.

To date, $3,500 has been donated for the project.

Anyone wishing to make a donation should contact Struna.

In regular business, Kim Bird of Hopkins and Associates provided the Fiscal Year 2016 audit. Bird indicated there are no surprises in the audit, but it does show a large deficiency which is due to finishing up the building project.

One highlight in the audit was the increased revenue, which is, in part, from the timing of payments from the state. In addition there was a large increase of revenue from changes made to the cafeteria.

Bird also noted in the education fund, there was a slight increase in expenditures, but it was due to normal salary and benefit increases.

Kiosk From Page 1 At the council meeting on Oct. 17, Princeton City Manager Rachel Skaggs said the city has planned to place a map on the structure. Materials that are displayed on the kiosk will have to be standard poster size and will be changed on a monthly basis.

In other business at the meeting, Mayor Joel Quiram reported on the ongoing Community Vision Workshops being hosted by the Main Street Revitalization Commit-

Board member Marty Herrmann asked the auditor what the district’s biggest problem is. Bird said, “The amount of cash you will have on hand at the end of the school year is the biggest problem. You need to be careful with expenditures, but I think you are already aware of this.”

In other business: • The board heard the first reading of suicide and depression awareness and prevention policy. This policy must be adopted by Jan. 1, 2017, and must be consistent with Ann Marie’s Law which includes staff development, procedures for identification and referral of students, a response plan and parent notification of the plan.

tee. The first workshop was held on Oct. 13, and 81 people attended the event. Quiram said discussion, presentations and projects geared toward the future of Main Street were shared during the session.

Another workshop was held Oct. 20, and the third workshop is set for Oct. 27.

Quiram shared his own vision for Princeton, which is to make it a tourist destination. His plan is to make Main Street, city parks and parking lots visually appealing; support current businesses and future entrepreneurs, and promote Princeton’s histori-

be discussed during next month’s meeting, and then Struna will ask for the policy to be adopted. Struna said, ”I wish we had a full-time social worker, but since we don’t, we all need to be aware.”

• The board recognized Pat Birch, who was unable to be in attendance, for a generous donation to help fund the end zone building. The building will provide much needed storage for football and youth football equipment in addition to being a meeting area for the football team during inclement weather. Donations were also received from James Hardie and the youth football league.

• Recognized music instructor Brandon Czubachowski who was a 40 Under 40 recipient.

• The School Guard Safe-

cal past and architectural treasures.

Quiram believes improvements on Main Street will give Princeton a “leg up” over communities throughout the state in bringing in businesses and industry.

“Our location in the state, our proximity to the busiest highway in the country, and the services we provide, and our unique Main Street are, in my opinion, our greatest assets,” he said. “The city is currently positioning itself to aggressively market our cityowned properties, our industrial park and our tech park

The app directly links local law enforcement agencies with the administration and staff at Hall High School. The Geofence or perimeter in which the app works around the school has been set, and once the teachers have been given their activation code, there will be a drill with Spring Valley Police Department.

Board member Betsy Sobin questioned whether there is something in the app that notifies parents, but at this time there is not. The app was purchased by Spring Valley Police Department, but Hall will be paying the monthly bill of $99.

Quiram said next year Princeton’s economic development will intertwine with the Main Street Revitalization project and be one of the city’s development priorities.

“Without what the Main Street Steering Committee group is currently doing, our chances at success are greatly diminished, and that’s because successful economic development begins and ends with Main Street. It’s a quality of life issue, and it’s about how do we get from here to there.”

Climbing the Walls Fathers and daughters

Dad wanted a boy. Looking back now, I understand why. I believe it was because he looked forward to years of enjoying sports with his son. The long awaited day finally came.

However, it was a daughter born on that cold February morning. I was that little girl.

As a result, Dad was very disappointed at the turn of events.

I know this because when I was in my early teens, Mom broke the news to me one day when I got home from school. Out of the blue, as I walked into the house, she greeted me with, “You know your dad was so disappointed when you were born.” I was stunned. Then, about a year later, she said the same thing to me again. The second time, I replied that I already knew that because she had told me once before.

To this day, I have no idea what prompted her to tell me how disappointing my birth was. I do know that when Dad was disappointed, that meant Mom must have been disappointed too. The only one happy in that delivery room was probably the doctor. I was probably screaming at the top of my lungs.

Things now are completely different. Fathers still want to have sons, but I notice that it is not a desperate wanting.

Girls are involved in sports now more than ever. Fathers are devoted to their daughters participating in sports just as much as they are with their sons. I think that is wonderful.

My dad taught me how to bat and throw a baseball when I was 8 years old. I realize now that was probably because my brother needed someone to play ball with when Dad was working. I learned from my father to love sports. He was a White Sox fan; I, however, became a Cub fan.

Two years after I was born, my father got his much-desired son. A second son was born when I was 7. I had wanted a sister. However, sometimes things have a way of working out better than you think. My younger brother and I have always been close, and years later would marry a wonderful person. She has become the sister I always wanted.

Tami McCracken Crawley is a mother of nine and avid quilter living in Henry. She may be reached at tamimccracken@yahoo.com.

Things have sure changed for women and girls since the time when I was born back in 1947. My granddaughters have no idea how fortunate they are.

This meant that most of them had to go back to a male-dominated society. The men were expected to be the bread winners. The women were to stay at home, taking care of the children born during the baby boom. So, as a I guess I’ve avoided it long enough.

The Eulenspiegel Puppet Theater put on an entertaining show at the Prairie Arts Center on Saturday, Oct. 15. Children and adults of all ages enjoyed this well-known puppet troupe, which brought several scenarios to life through puppetry.

CHAMPAIGN — Soil temperatures in Illinois were 1 to 2 degrees above normal in mid-October, according to Jennie Atkins, Water and Atmospheric Resources Monitoring (WARM) program manager at the Illinois State Water Survey, Prairie Research Institute, University of Illinois.

Soil temperatures declined during the first two weeks of October but remained above normal. Statewide temperatures at depths of 4 inches under bare soil declined 8 degrees during that time period to an average of 57.7 degrees F on Oct. 14.

Daily highs for that day rose into the 60s for most of the state, while lows were in the 50s to mid-40s.

Temperatures under sod

followed a similar trend with an average of 60.4 degrees at 4 inches and 60.9 degrees at 8 inches on Oct. 14, 1.9 and 1.7 degrees above the long-term averages, respectively.

Soil moisture declined in southern and east central Illinois during the first half of the month. Moisture levels at depths of 2 inches declined by more than 20 percent in both regions during the period. Soils were wetter in west central Illinois, however, with an average increase of 28 percent. Overall, soil moisture averaged 0.28 water fraction by volume (wfv) on Oct. 14.

Similar trends were seen at 4- and 8-inch depths.

Soil moisture remained high at 39- and 59-inch

depths with averages near or above the field capacities.

The Illinois State Water Survey’s WARM Program collects hourly and daily weather and soil information at 19 stations across the state. Daily and monthly summaries can be found at the WARM website http://www.isws. illinois.edu/warm/ and in the Illinois Water and Climate Summary http:// www.isws.illinois.edu/ warm/climate.asp.

seed that has performed exceptionally well on our farm. I like Munson genetics; I like that Munson is family-owned, I like that I can talk directly to the owners and to the Munson agronomist – my customers will greatly benefit from this communication and sense of community,” said Byers.

“Bryan is doing a great job tapping into Tommy Fehlhafer, his local Munson district sales manager, as well as

myself and other Munson resources to help him in his early days at Munson. His agriculture and business experience and his community connections all align beautifully with Munson’s ‘Performance is Personal’ motto,” said Craig Allaman, sales director, Munson Hybrids. “When I first met Bryan, I knew his first goal would be to take care of his customers, and that’s what impressed me the most about him.”

Upset magic ends for PHS Tigers fall to U-High at sectional

Volleyball Notebook

Area volleyball teams gear up for regionals

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

By Kevin Hieronymus

CHILLICOTHE — The postseason upset magic carpet ride came to an end for the Princeton Tigers late Wednesday night in the Chillicothe Sectional semifinals at IVC High School.

The Normal U-High Pioneers struck twice quickly late in the first half and defeated the Tigers 3-1 to advance to Saturday’s finals.

Princeton (13-10-2) reached the sectionals by riding the No. 7 seed to upset victories over No. 1 Newark and No. 2 Somonauk to win its own regional championship last week.

“This program is at a place where we should expect to win regional championships and we should expect to be in this position year in and year out,” PHS coach David Gray said. “We feel like we are where we’re supposed to be, but now we’ve got to find a way to make the next step. So we don’t come out a little bit overwhelmed or a little too excited if we get this chance. That we play our game from the first whistle.

“I think it took awhile for us to find our game and by the time we did, it was a little too late.”

The first 31 minutes was highly contested between the Tigers and Pioneers. U-High finally broke through in the 31st minute on a goal by Nathan Clay. Before the Tigers could blink an eye, the Pioneers scored again two minutes later on a goal by J.D. Kelley to make it 2-0.

“We controlled possession and were able to get a few good looks.

Those two goals back to back gave us a lot of confidence for the rest of the game,” U-High coach Jeremy Stanton said. “I thought Princeton was a tough team and competed well. They had a lot of team speed and did some nice things. Like us, they are a young team with a bright future.”

IHSA postseason volleyball play is coming to a regional near you. Here’s a look at this week’s regionals involving local teams.

At Annawan (1A): LaMoille/Ohio (21-2) is the team to beat in 1A regional play, taking a No. 2 seed in a sub-sectional of the Flanagan Cornell Sectional. L/O coach Hallie Monroe said the Lady Lions are excited and ready, but are keeping focused as evident in the way they practice.

“They know their goal of a regional title is achievable, but it will not be handed to them,” Monroe said. “We certainly have the pieces and, by far, the players on this team compliment one another better than any team I have coached. They are exciting to watch.”

The Lady Lions will draw the Oct. 24 quarterfinal contest between No. 7 Erie (5-23-4) and No. 10 Henry at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 25.

At Hall (2A): Hall hosts the local 2A regional beginning Monday, Oct. 24. The No. 9 seeded Lady Devils (10-20) will face No. 11 Putnam County (13-17-3) at 5:30 p.m. Monday. The night’s second quarterfinal will put No. 7 St. Bede (14-19-1) vs. No. 12 Stark County (1018-2).

Monday’s winners will return to the court the next night with the Hall/PC winner facing No. 2 El Paso-Gridley at 5:30 p.m. followed by No. 3 Fieldcrest (18-12) vs. the St. Bede/Stark County winner.

Demi Salazar, who has returned as Hall coach this season, said it’s all about the serve for the Lady Devils.

“If we serve well, we usually do well. Keeping missed first serves has been our problem so we will work on that,” he said.

Hall will face a PC team in which the Lady Devils have come from behind and defeated twice.

“Regionals is one of those that you need to play every point to win. Our defense is our solid point and we will rely on them to win it point for point,” Salazar said.

St. Bede rides an upset win over Kewanee at Kewanee into postseason play. SBA coach Karrie Damerell said, “This is a good direction to go heading into Monday’s regional at Hall.”

The finals will be 6 p.m. Thursday. The Hall Regional champ will advance to the Illini Bluffs Sectional in Glasford at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 1 against

Cardinals fans trying to hold up in midst of Cubs craziness A year ago I wrote about the split households when the Cardinals and Cubs met in the playoffs.

Us Cardinal fans remember how that turned out and when we try to forget it, our Cubs friends are quick to remind us about that, well, and of course, how many games the Cardinals finished behind the Cubbies this year.

A year later, Cardinals fans are finding themselves right in the middle of the Cubs craziness all over again as the North Siders are on the threshold of their first World Series appearance since 1945 and going for the first World Series crown since 1908.

Anybody can have a bad century, right?

How are the Cardinals fans handling it? Some not so well,

Kevin Hieronymus HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS

others are accepting it.

I have a hometown friend, who’s in the same business as I am back home, and is a devoted Cards fan. Also like me, he is married to a Cubs fan. When I asked him if he was rooting for the Dodgers, he said yes, but he’s doing it quietly because his “wife of 35 years is a Cubs fan.”

I understand totally where he’s coming from.

Cubs fan Pam Pratt-Marsh of the BCR says her husband, Kevin, a lifelong Cards fan who grew up in Kewanee, is doing reasonably well with it. She says he’s actually, gasp, rooting for the Cubbies, because it’s good for baseball.

“He’ll never come over to the Blue Side. But he said if the Cubs win the World Series, he’ll buy a Cubs hat.”

PHS volleyball coach Andy Puck found out Friday morning he’s going to Chicago Saturday for Game 6 of the NLCS. He doesn’t have any choice as his beloved wife, Gina, is a die-hard Cubbie.

After Thursday’s Cubs win in L.A., she posted on Facebook, “When there’s a chance to clinch

the series Saturday you change all your plans, book a hotel and decide for your loving Cardinal devoted husband that he has no choice but to come, too.”

Andy’s happy to go along for the ride, because as he says, “I love my wife, I am happy when she is happy. And playoff Cub baseball makes her happy.”

However, he adds, “It is very hard for me to cheer for a team that I have hated my 42 years on this earth. And Gina is totally fine with this, as I am with her hating the Cardinals.”

Tigers From Page 11 While that quick pair stunned the Tigers, the Pioneers delivered the knockout blow, Gray said, with another goal by Clay in the 52nd minute.

“The two goals right away in succession really took the wind out of us for awhile,” Gray said. “When they scored their last goal, I felt like we were starting to gain momentum and get on the front foot a little bit. Then that goal kind of ended our realistic shot.

“We kept playing through it and I think the last 20 minutes or so were the best we played in the game, but it was kind of too late to try to salvage anything I think.”

Brett Schenck broke the Princeton goose egg when he powered in for a goal to the right side of the keeper with 1:17 remaining in the match.

“The boys worked hard enough, deserved it. Deserve to score, so it was nice to score,” Gray said. “Yeah, I think it’s better than leaving with nothing.”

U-High (13-6-5) will meet undefeated Peoria Christian (20-0-2) for the sectional championship at 5 p.m. Saturday at the IVC pitch.

Peoria Christian defeated Mendota 5-1 in the first semifinal of the night. Their contest was delayed by lightning, which pushed back the start of the Princeton-U-High game by an hour.

Cross country regionals set Saturday

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Bureau County cross country teams have been sent in opposite directions for regional competition Saturday.

Amboy/LaMoille, Bureau Valley and Princeton have been sent north to Rock Falls. A little closer to home, St. Bede hosts the Hall harriers on the academy campus among 13 other schools.

The girls meet will start at 10 a.m. followed by the boys at 11 a.m. at both sites. Top seven teams and top five individuals not on a qualifying team advance.

At Rock Falls: The Amboy/LaMoille girls did not have a conference to run for this season with the switch from the Three Rivers to the NUIC. Saturday’s regional meet will be their conference.

“Not being able to compete for a conference title this year has really put a chip on our shoulder and we are really looking forward to competing for our first regional title,” A/L coach Bob Halberg said.

The Lady Clippers, ranked 20th in 1A, are favored going in, having recently defeated top contenders Sterling Newman and Annawan/ Wethersfield at last week’s Patriot Invitational. Halberg said the Lady Clippers have been struggling with a couple minor injuries, but expects to be good to go Saturday.

Bureau Valley junior Haley Weidner is the pre-race favorite. Megan Grady and Erin Hosto of A/L figure to be in the top pack as well.

BV coach Dale Donner said the Storm should advance as a team if “we run a good race.”

Princeton will be on the bubble with sophomore Lauren McMillan leading the PHS pack.

The boys team title should come down to a tight battle between Newman and Rock Falls. Donner said the BV boys need a strong race to advance as a team.

The Rockets’ Branden Hamblin, who has recently committed to run for the Fighting Illini, is the heavy race favorite. Amboy/LaMoille sophomore Tom Stamberger should also advance to sectionals as an individual. If they don’t make it as a team, Donner looks for juniors Bradley Sierens and Kurt Bitting as good bets to qualify.

At St. Bede: While the Hall and St. Bede runners will see some familiar teams like Fieldcrest, Henry, Marquette and Putnam County, there will be some outside competition coming to make things interesting, Hall coach Tom Keegan said.

IVC is ranked 12th in 1A girls and 14th in 1A boys rankings. The Seneca girls are No. 13. Other participating schools include Hinckley-Big Rock, Indian Creek, Plano, Princeville, and Stark County.

“We have some familiarity with teams within our regional and kind of know where we stand against them but there are some that we haven’t seen. We’ll see how it all plays out on Saturday,” Hall coach Tom Keegan said.

Keegan said both the Hall boys and girls teams could be one of the bubble teams that advance. The boys’ team is led by junior Wes Schmidt, who has put together a solid year, and sophomore Ethan Cattani and freshman Daniel Yanez will factor in to the Red Devils’ scoring. Soph-

PRINCETON 26, SHERRARD 20

Taking care of business Fifth win makes Princeton playoff eligible; awaits IHSA pairings

BY DAN DWYER sports@bcrnews.com

SHERRARD — Let the chips fall will where they will.

Jesse Snyder and his Princeton Tigers stacked the chips the only way they could to give themselves a chance at squeaking into the playoffs at 5-4, but it took last second heroics from Colton Youngren and the Tiger defense to stave off Three Rivers Mississippi foe Sherrard Tigers 26-20 Friday in Sherrard.

On fourth down from Princeton’s 12-yard-line and with less than 1:00 to play, Sherrard quarterback Isaac Boraas dropped back and spotted an open receiver. That proved to be too little too late as the 6-6, 230-pound Youngren introduced Boraas to the turf forcing an errant throw that gave Princeton the victory and a chance at making it into the post season.

“Colton played a heck of a game defensively as well as offensively. I wish we could be more consistent but we come up with big plays when we needed them,” Snyder said. “He definitely came up with a big one there at the end for us and now we have a chance to make it into the playoffs we just have to wait and see where the chips may fall.”

Princeton’s season was in peril after a failed fourth and one from the 50-yard line gave the ball to Sher-

rard with just under 2:30 to play but the Tigers defense a rose at the right moment.

“We had some big plays there at the end defensively with the interception

by Jeremiah Lindell and a couple of big stops from our defensive guys up front that gave us a chance to win the ball game,” Snyder said.

Princeton held a 20-6 lead but a Sherrard touchdown to close out the first half and then a 7:35 touchdown drive to open the second half knotted to two Tiger squads at 20-20 with a quarter left to play.

After a fourth down stand from Princeton’s defense to get the ball back, senior running back Blake Janssen broke the 20-20 stalemate on a fourth down of their own from one yard out with 8:34 to play.

“They were running the ball extremely well and their offensive line was tough and we told the guys that we can’t let that swing and that change in momentum affect us mentally,” Snyder said. “We have to do what we have been working on to be successful and the kids came out and executed and were able to overcome that adversity.”

At 5-4, the Tigers playoff hopes ride on the results of several area games as they await their fate Saturday night when the IHSA pairings are announced.

STERLING 43, DeKALB 42, 2OT

Wild & wacky win Golden Warriors finish 9-0 with double-OT win at DeKalb

BY JESSE SEVERSON Shaw Media

DeKALB – The DeKalb and Sterling football teams sent the regular season out in style Friday.

In a wild game that featured a 20-minute delay because the stadium lights went out, Sterling converted on a 2-point conversion in double overtime to grab a 43-42 victory over the Barbs in a battle between two of the best teams in the area.

After six consecutive rushes in overtime – including a 1-yard touchdown run by Andrew Spaulding in the second overtime – Sterling quarterback Trey Morse found Nolan Sullivan on a play-action pass in the end zone.

The Warriors, who came into the game ranked No. 2 in Class 5A, initially sent out kicker Tony Diaz for the extra point, but Sterling coach Jon Schlemmer called timeout and sent the offense back out for the game-ending 2-point conversion.

“We were having trouble stopping them, they’re so

dynamic offensively, so once we got it in there, our offensive coordinator had a great call and executed it really well,” Schlemmer said. “I can’t take the credit. The kids executed the play.”

The Barbs (7-2 overall) were led by quarterback Derek Kyler, who went 16-for-40 for 272 yards, three touchdowns and one interception, along with rushing for 121 yards and two scores. His favorite targets on the day were Cole Tucker (6 catches, 66 yards, TD) and Zuerek Day (4 catches, 121 yards, 2 TDs).

With Sterling (9-0) leading 28-21 late in the fourth quarter, Kyler led the team on a 7-play, 70-yard drive that featured a 27-yard pass to Day on thirdand-28 and a 40-yard connection to Tyrese Dyson, and capped it with a 10-yard touchdown run with 1:13 remaining.

Then things got wacky.

Before DeKalb kicker Connor Tierney could come out and tie it 28-28, the stadium lights went out to extend the suspense

another 20 minutes.

Weckler laughed that he had never seen that happen before in a game.

“We had to keep the kids focused,” Weckler said of the delay. “They’re high school kids, so just like anything else – when something strange happens, you have to keep them focused. The biggest thing was to keep them warm.”

For Sterling, running back Nyrel Sullivan had 108 rushing yards and two touchdowns and scored on a 3-yard run to open up overtime. DeKalb answered with a 10-yard run by Day to make it 35-35.

In the second overtime, Kyler found Tucker on a slant for a 10-yard touchdown on the first play to give DeKalb its first lead of the game, but Sterling answered with Spaulding’s touchdown and the 2-point conversion.

DeKalb also had a pair of fumbles in regulation.

On the second play of the game, Sterling defensive end Treay Martin

In the second quarter, with the Warriors leading 14-7, DeKalb got inside the Sterling 10-yard line but fumbled it again – this time, it was Elias Edmondson jumping on the loose ball on the 9.

“When you play in a big

game, we can’t have turnovers like that,” Weckler said. “They capitalized on them.”

The Warriors led 21-7 going into the fourth quarter, but the Barbs rallied to tie it twice in the wild quarter.

Kyler scored on a 34-yard run in the second play of

the quarter, and after the defense forced Sterling to punt, he hit Day for a 58-yard TD to tie it.

After Nyrel Sullivan gave the Warriors the lead on a 29-yard touchdown run with 2:55 left, the Barbs went 70 yards in 1:45 to tie it again with Kyler’s 10-yard run.

DIXON 44, GENOA-KINGSTON 6

Prepped for success Cox scores five times as Dukes roll past Vikings at home

BY JERMAINE PIGEE Special to SVM

DIXON – Dixon junior Arthur Cox is ready for the postseason.

The Dukes’ workhorse juked, danced, and leaped over wouldbe tacklers as he reached the end zone five times and raked up 335 yards, leading the Dukes to a 44-6 victory Friday night over the North Boone Vikings.

The Dukes, now 7-2, will wait to see who they will play in the first round of the IHSA playoffs. Those pairings will be released today.

Friday’s win should not only give Dixon a home game in the first round, it sends the Dukes into the postseason on a high note.

“We played well together tonight on all three phases,” coach Dave Smith said. “We were able to score at the end of the half and come back out and score again. That had a lot to do with the tempo of the game.”

The Dukes leaned heavily on Cox, their star running back, as he accounted for 74 percent of Dixon’s offense.

“The runs worked up the middle because they only had one linebacker right there, so they really couldn’t stop the pulling guards and pulling tackles,” Cox said.

“It was pretty easy to run up the middle.”

Cox carried the ball 32 times and averaged 10.5 yards per carry.

Despite the win, the Dukes’ offense left points on the field.

Dixon was penalized eight times, which cost them 80 yards. Two would-be touchdowns were called back because of penalties.

“We have to not beat ourselves, and we have to get rid of those penalties,” Smith said.

The Vikings, who finish the season 3-6, scored on their first possession of the night.

It would be the final time they scored.

North Boone still was able to generate 197 yards of total offense.

“We could have played betPhilip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com ter on defense,” Cox said. “They shouldn’t have gotten that many Dixon’s Ryan Troutman sacks North Boone quarterback Britton Morris during Friday’s game at A.C. Bowers Field. Dixon won 44-6. yards.”

Senior wide receiver Andrew Wolber, who scored a touchThe Red Zone down and had an interception, said he would like to see some Player of the game: Arthur Cox, Dixon, 335 yards rushing on 32 carries, 5 TDs of the mistakes cleaned up on defense.

He said it: “This week, we talked about making sure you are a Week 9 team. Play “We have to fix the broken plays like you are in week 9. We still had some penalties, but the execution was a lot we had and some miscommubetter.” - Dixon coach Dave Smith Arthur nication,” he said. “We can’t be Cox having that in the playoffs.”

The Thunder entered the game with 32 playoff points, determined by opponents’ combined wins, which likely wouldn’t have been enough for their season to continue without a victory.

But despite not trailing at all during regulation, the Rockets (3-6) were unable to play spoiler, and somehow dropped an overtime heartbreaker, 23-22. The Thunder (6-3) clinched a guaranteed postseason berth, their first since 2012.

“This loss hurt, because we thought for sure we had it there at the end of regulation,” said Rockets coach Rich Montgomery.

But they didn’t.

Rock Falls drove to the Woodstock North 13-yard line with under a minute left in the fourth quarter, only to

have a potential game-winning 30-yard field goal try blocked as time expired.

The Rockets then got the ball first to start overLogan time, and scored Pillars Rock Falls two plays later on senior quartersenior back Logan Pillars’ 10-yard pass to classmate Isaiah Harris. But the ensuing two-point conversion failed, leaving the door open for the Thunder.

Woodstock North scored on a 5-yard run by Casey Dycus on third-and-goal during its overtime possession, then sealed the win moments later on junior Matt Chase’s extra point.

The loss spoiled an outstanding game by Pillars, who was 19-for-31 passing for 276 yards and a TD. He reflected on his decision to return for his senior year, after the Rockets went winless last season.

“I wasn’t sure I wanted to come back to play this year, but me and some of the guys felt like we had something to prove,” Pillars said. “We may

only have had three wins this season, but I’m so glad I came back, because the group of guys in our locker room were a special bunch. I’m gonna miss them.”

Harris had a second-quarter interception that stalled a Woodstock North drive that was deep in Rockets territory in the second quarter.

And seniors Michael Berentes (7 catches, 104 yards) and Blake Wind (3 catches, 101 yards) both eclipsed the century mark in their final high school games.

Montgomery thinks this class of departing seniors left a legacy. The Rockets had a six-point loss and a pair of one-point losses in their last three games, and know they could’ve just as easily been playoff-bound, like the Thunder.

“The seniors on this team are going to grow up to be great parents, leaders, teachers, husbands and role models,” Montgomery said.

“There are some teams I’ve coached I couldn’t say that about. But this group is special. They set a great example no matter how much adversity we faced.”

NEWMAN 48, ST. BEDE 14

No contest Comets deliver reality check to Bruins for division title

BY DAN WOESSNER dwoessner@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5554 @DanWoessner

STERLING – If St. Bede coach Jim Eustice had been marking a checklist of things not to do against the Newman Comets on the sideline Friday night, he would have run out of ink by halftime.

Missed blocks – check. Penalties – check. Turnovers – check.

The Comets accepted the help, but didn’t really seem to need it in a 48-14 win at Roscoe Eades Stadium. Newman (9-0, 6-0 Three Rivers Mississippi) clinched a perfect regular-season record and the TRAC Mississippi crown with the win.

“It’s shocking,” Eustice said. “To go from how we played the last 6 weeks to this is shocking, and now we have to try and recover. Everything you can’t do against a team like Newman, we did tonight.”

Aaron Scroggins gave the Comets the momentum by blocking a St. Bede punt from inside the Bruins’ 10-yard line midway through the first quarter. Cade Bianchi and Luke Olson fell on the ball at the 9.

Eli Leffelman scored on a run on the first play of the ensuing drive.

In the second quarter, Newman took a 16-0 lead when Nate Olson

cut in front of St. Bede receiver Braidy Shipp and took the interception 53 yards for a touchdown.

“We were actually a little confused on the coverage, and I was looking at the other linebacker,” Nate Olson said. “I looked back and saw that Shipp was running that bubble screen. I just jumped the route.”

It was Nate Olson’s sixth interception of the season. Newman also got interceptions from Brentin Erickson, Easton Bianchi and Cade Bianchi.

“Once you get one big play like that, everyone wants to make a big play,” Cade Bianchi said. “Our scout team did a great job getting us ready, and we felt like we knew their tendencies and did a nice job of taking away the things they wanted to do.”

St. Bede (6-3, 5-1) fought back, Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com as a 49-yard pass to Shipp set up a Newman’s Cade Bianchi intercepts the ball in front of St. Bede’s Josh Sapp on Friday night.

We had who had 102 rushing yards, both four interceptions. It was a great effort from everyone.” – Newman linebacker Nate scored in the third quarter as Nate Olson Olson Newman took complete control.

ERIE-PROPHETSTOWN 35, HALL 16

EP, Pierceson finish strong Panthers finish season at 2-7, Hall unable to avoid 0-9 SPRING VALLEY — The Hall Red Devils knew what was coming and yet they couldn’t do anything about it.

Erie/Prophetstown quarterback Nathan Pierceson called his own number 39 times and cashed in for 222 yards rushing and five touchdowns to lead the Panthers to a season-ending 35-16 win over the Red Devils Friday at Nesti Stadium.

Pierceson accounted for nearly all of E/P’s scoring, including all five touchdowns (three in the first half and two in the second) and two conversion runs. He teamed up with running mate Garrett Passmore (11-120) to combined for 342 yards rushing as EP tallied 416 for the night.

“That’s crazy we had one back with over 200 yards rushing and another with over 100. We probably ended up having 400 yards team offense,” Pierceson said. “They ended up keying me a little bit and I’d give it to him. They’d have to go back to keying him, because he was splicing them, too.”

EP coach Chuck Milem said the Panthers were effective sticking to their game plan.

“We know they can score pretty quickly. They’ve shown they can throw the ball pretty effectively against any team this year,” he said.

“I know their record doesn’t show that, but we saw that on film so we wanted to make sure we controlled the clock and keep it in between the tackles. Keep it away from them a little bit and I think we did that.”

Hall coach Randy Tieman said it was no surprise Pierceson was going to carry the ball early and often.

“We knew what they were going to do. We practiced it all week. It was just a matter getting to the right spots and making the play,” Tieman said. “It’s beating a dead horse.

We’ve got to tackle. We didn’t tackle, we didn’t stop the run. That’s what we’ve said all year.”

Tieman said it didn’t help when the Red Devils completed a pass near the goal line only to fumble it away in the end zone in the second quarter.

“Get inside the red zone and fumble. Those are things you can’t do BCR photo/Kevin Hieronymus if you’re not a very good team,” he Hall’s Christian Stefaniak gets a hold of Erie-Prophetstown’s Kody Wetzell Friday night at said.

MILLEDGEVILLE 20, WARREN 16

Well worth the wait Missiles become playoff eligible

BY CHRISTIOPHER HEIMERMAN cheimerman@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5523 @CHeimerman_SVM

WARREN – After Friday night, Missiles fans can spell redemption with a capital D. As in, defense dominated when it was demanded.

With a first playoff berth in 8 years in jeopardy, the Milledgeville defense staved off a late Warren rally to win 20-16 and become playoff eligible at 5-4 (5-3 NUIC Upstate).

The Missiles overcame an 8-6 halftime deficit with scores in the third and fourth quarters, but had to dig in their heels after Warren (2-7, 2-6) scored for the second time on a middle screen with 4:18 to play, then recovered the ensuing onside kick.

Said squibber hopped up and glanced off the hands of lineman Chase Hutchison who, aside from that play, played lights-out.

“His head was down when he was on the sideline, and I

just told him, ‘Make it back up,’” Milledgeville coach Jason Wroble said.

Zachary Hook, who’d been flagged for multiple false starts, sacked Payton Calow on the very next play for a 7-yard loss, and then Hutchison went hard off the edge on the next play to team up with Payton Harris and tackle Kyle Wolff for a 1-yard loss.

When Warren wasn’t putting the ball in the air (Calow finished 14-for-37 for 162 yards), Hutchison and Co. made themselves at home in the Warren backfield, holding the Warriors to minus-4 yards rushing on 16 carries.

The teams traded empty possessions in the second half until Hutchison picked off a hurried Calow pass and brought it back to the Warren 13.

“I’ve never had a feeling like that before,” Hutchison said.

“But if it weren’t for that backside pressure, it would’ve never been thrown out there like that.”

Carson Boyer scored on a quick sweep on the very next play and, after a 64-yard rumble by Kyle Forbes, scored again from 4 yards out with 9:19 to play, making it 20-8.

Forbes had 70 yards on 24 carries before the big-hitter.

“It was an awesome feeling, but it’s the line – they get the credit,” Forbes said. “They’re working hard all night, and without them, that never happens.”

Harris was coming off a shoulder injury that has kept him out of late, and he and fellow senior Buddy Bibler, who missed the past 2 weeks with an ankle sprain, almost exclusively played on the defensive side of the ball.

But Harris got in for a few plays on the offensive line, and Bibler had three carries in the fourth quarter, showing that if the Missiles get enough playoff points, their suddenly healthy weapons could help them give their first-round opponent a scare.

BUREAU VALLEY 53, MORRISON 30

Pointed to playoffs BV racks up points, guarantees spot in postseason

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

MANLIUS – Rather than let playoff points decide its fate, Bureau Valley decided to put up a bunch of points on the scoreboard.

The Storm did just that in rolling to a 53-30 victory over Morrison in a wild Three Rivers Rock game on Friday night. Bureau Valley (6-3) clinched its first playoff berth since 2010 with the win.

“We’ve done something that Bureau Valley hasn’t done in 6 years, and it feels really good right now,” junior quarterback Drake Davis said. “Morrison, they’re always a good team, and they play us tough. We came out, did what we had to do, and now we’re moving on to next week.”

Davis was virtually unstoppable all night, as he threw for 303 yards and ran for 70 more. He opened the scoring with a 44-yard pass to Bryan Herr midway through the first quarter, but he was just getting warmed up.

He also tossed TD passes of 35, 22 and 26 yards to Jay Edlefson, who finished with six catches for 169 yards. Herr also was a threat

with five grabs for 98 yards.

“We felt good with our wideouts on their cornerbacks,” Davis said, “and we just exploited them. It worked out for us the whole game. They could not stop our outside guys. It was ridiculous. Jay was on fire tonight.”

Morrison (3-6) was able to hang around for much of the game due in large part to the efforts of senior Ethan Fischbach. He hauled in TD passes of 39 and 36 yards from Reilly Dolan, and electrified the crowd with a 75-yard kick return with 5:19 remaining in the game.

The Storm used squib kicks all night to keep the ball away from Fischbach, who entered the game with seven kickoff returns for TDs this season.

Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com One of those kicks, however, ended up in the hands of Morrison quarterback Dylan Keller (center) gets sandwiched between Bureau Valley’s Alex up-man Cody Southern, who Peck (left) and Chase Gripp during Friday night’s game in Manlius.

AQUIN 48, AMBOY 17

Down with the ship Loss caps Clippers’ season

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

FREEPORT — An Amboy season marred by injuries ended Friday with a 48-17 loss to the Aquin Bulldogs in an NUIC crossover contest at Conley Field.

The Clippers end their inaugural season in the NUIC at 3-6, and 3-5 in Northwest Division games. They barely escaped last week with a 7-0 win at winless Pecatonica, but there was no escaping from Aquin’s stout defense — one that held Amboy to only 64 rushing yards on 39 carries.

For Clippers senior quarterback Jordan Hochstatter, there was no escaping from Bulldogs’ junior linebacker and wide receiver Cole Stykel.

Hochstatter had as many as 58 total rushing yards at one point in the second quarter, but was sacked four times by Stykel and one more time by junior lineman Jackson Hold-

Player of the game: Jonah Diemer, Aquin, 7-for-8 passing, 124 yards, 4 TDs He said it: “[Aquin] was a really good, physical team. They could throw, they could run, they could do it all. On defense, they’re very physical and stout.” — Amboy QB Jordan Hochstatter

er for a net loss of 36 yards.

“Our mid line was working for us a little bit,” Hochstatter said, “but they started just keying on it, and shut it down.”

Operating a system heavy on the run game, the Clippers passed for more than twice as many yards as they rushed. Hochstatter threw for 132 yards on 7-for-14 passing, including a 51-yard TD score to Andrew Gillen with 8:43 left in the fourth quarter.

“The line was struggling,” Clippers senior lineman Alexis Gutierrez said. “They were beating us down low and with their passing, but we tried fighting through it, and

it didn’t come out the way we wanted it to.”

While Hochstatter ended his high school football career on a down note, Gutierrez had Amboy’s biggest pop with 1:02 to go in the first half. Gutierrez, a lineman and kicker, booted a season-high 42-yard field goal to inch the Aquin lead to 14-10. He connected on a 45-yard try during pregame warmups, and also made a 50-yarder last week before the win at Pecatonica.

“We had big expectations,” Gutierrez said, “but injuries really killed us along the way.

We fought through it all, in a tough conference, but we finished it through.”
