The cost of hunger Low-income student population increases in Bureau County and means loss of opportunities for area youth

People who blame children’s difficulty in learning on Common Core and curriculum changes may want to consider there’s something far more insidious impeding learning in Bureau County schools — hunger and low-income levels.

Hard to learn and thrive on an empty belly

For the majority of area schools and districts in Bureau County, there’s been an increase in students living in low-income households throughout the past five years.

A lack of money often means less food available in a household, and the resulting hunger often erodes a child’s concentration and affects attitude. Lower income levels can create major stress at home for the student, and in some cases, lead to a lack of electricity and heat in the winter.

the weekends. Volunteers of the program have seen an increase in the need for Buddy Bags since its inception in 2013.

Smiles and sweet treats ...

Celebrate Sheffield

Swimming upstream Freedom House struggling with financial woes

A plate of home-baked goodies was just the ticket for some sweet fun during the Celebrate Sheffield event, held Saturday, Nov. 14. Here, Loretta McKay offers some sweet treats to event-goers at Winger’s Royal Super Market on Sheffield’s Main Street.

The holidays are upon us. Most will begin scurrying about — making list after list to accommodate family get-togethers, menus, gift exchanges and more. Smiles and laughter will abound, and another holiday season will go down in the memory books as a happy one.

But not everyone has a holiday season wrapped up in tinsel, brightly-colored Christmas trees and happiness. The folks at Freedom House, an agency that serves a five-county area and specializes in domestic and sexual violence services, know all too well that the holidays — just like any other time of the year — can be one of tears, troubled times and abuse.

While Freedom House is no stranger to troubling situations affecting its clients, the Illinois budget impasse has caused another kink in the proverbial wheel, wreaking financial havoc on the agency.

“It’s almost like being victimized twice,” said Freedom House Board member Paula Luft of Galva, referring to the lack of payments being made to the agency from state and federal funds.

Freedom House Executive Director Bruce McVety said of the agency’s $990,000 fiscal budget, 86 percent of those dollars come from state and federal grants. To date, Freedom House has only received 47 percent of those dollars. The remaining 14 percent of the budget dollars come from private donations and smaller grants.

“We cannot continue to function on our reserves for an extended period of time,” McVety said. “Freedom House has been careful with our budget over the years and is thankful for the local support from corporations and individuals which share our concern for the victims of domestic and sexual violence in our service area.”

McVety said even if the budget impasse was set-

“It’s almost like being victimized twice.”

Freedom House Board member Paula Luft

tled today, the chances of Freedom House receiving all the money from the state and federal commitments would be slim, not to mention it would take several months for any of those dollars to filter through the system.

Luft said the board at Freedom House is working to be proactive, rather than reactive when it comes to its finances, meeting more frequently and doing its due diligence with weekly financial updates.

“We just want the public to be aware of the necessity of Freedom House,” said Freedom House Board member

How to find help

Hunger From Page 1

Smith, superintendent of Princeton Elementary School District, said.

“Some studies would indicate that it is the No. 1 indicator of level of success.”

The Princeton Elementary School District had a low socioeconomic population of 39 percent in 2011. In 2015, with an enrollment of 1,079, that figure increased to 45 percent in the district.

“Without a doubt, I feel that people would be surprised at the large percentage of low income (students) and the impact that it has on a community and school district,” Smith said. “I believe it is a national trend, but that it is definitely greater in certain regions, ours being included.”

Vanessa Hoffeditz, director at the Bureau County Food Pantry, agreed hunger happens in Bureau County communities at a level that may surprise people.

“Hunger does exist in our community,” she said.

“It’s your neighbors; it’s the students who go to school here. Someone we know is struggling with hunger and we don’t even know that.”

Hoffeditz said people often experience hardship through no fault of their own, at times because of a job layoff or a medical setback.

“We’re all one circumstance away from needing help,” she said.

Help is available for those who need it, in a variety of places such as schools, churches, food pantries and other charitable organizations that attempt to fill the need in Bureau County.

“Our district is part of the National School Breakfast/Lunch program,” Smith said. “Families that qualify under the federal guidelines receive free or reduced breakfast/ lunch. Also, textbook fees and other fees are waived for families meeting the guidelines. Qualifying families are also assisted with school supplies when necessary.”

One of the organizations that assists lower income families is Bureau Valley Buddy Bags, which has also seen an increase in need since its start up in spring 2013. The BV Buddy Bags program packs meals once a week for students throughout the Bureau Valley School District in kindergarten through second grade, along with their siblings, who could use the extra food on the weekends. The program is completely anonymous, meaning volunteers only get a count of meals needed, not names of students receiving the meals.

The only other meals many students who benefit from the Buddy Bags program get are the free or reduced lunches or breakfasts offered through the school.

This past week, the program provided meals for 60 students. Because of the financial support and number of volunteers, the organization plans to expand services to students in third through fifth grade, beginning the first of the year.

Filmer said she’s unsure how many more needed bags that will require.

However, she is sure there

Even with both parents working, it can be impossible to make ends meet View this hypothetical situation

By Shannon Serpette sserpette@bcrnews.com

Imagine a family of four with both parents working a $10 an hour full-time job — which is above Illinois’ minimum wage of $8.25 per hour. In this hypothetical family, the children are a 3-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy.

The parents’ wages brings the family’s annual income to $41,600.

Between taxes, Social Security and other withholdings, plus saving a small percentage of the money in a 401k if a plan is offered at the workplace, the family may have somewhere in the neighborhood of $35,500 left for the year.

For health insurance, which varies widely from plan to plan, a rate of $400 per month taken out of one parent’s paychecks, would reduce the remaining yearly amount to $30,700.

Assuming a three-bedroom house could be rented or bought for $500 a month, that’s another $6,000 per year that will bring down the remaining income to $24,700. Adding in for electricity, water/

sewer fees, home or rental insurance, garbage and a basic cell phone plan (no landline), a family could expect to pay a minimum of $300 a month, which brings down the income left to $21,100. The amount for those services could be more than that, depending on the energy efficiency of the house or apartment, and the fees charged by the municipality for water, sewer and garbage.

For transportation, it is assumed both parents will need a reliable car for work purposes. For a dependable used car, and also factoring in gas, insurance and basic maintenance and repairs, the family might spend $500 a month, and possibly more, depending upon how far a person drives for work and how well their vehicles hold up. That brings the remaining total for the year to $15,100.

Assuming the parents work the same schedule, babysitters for one or both children will be needed.

Even at a low rate of $3 per child per hour, and the bulk of the older child’s time spent in school, childcare would still run at least

$7,000 per year, bringing what is left of the income down to $7,900.

Most parents of young children can count on needing doctor visits during the year, sometimes requiring antibiotics or other medications.

Let’s assume this family is having a really healthy year and they only pay $500 out of pocket in medical costs, bringing their leftover money down to $7,400.

Food is another big expense for a family. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture website, an average low-cost monthly food plan for a family of four runs approximately $800 a month. That leaves this family in the hole by more than $2,000 at the end of the year.

These calculations also don’t include standard items such as haircuts, clothing, school fees and extracurriculars, birthday or Christmas gifts, home repairs or contributing to accounts such as emergency funds or college savings. It also assumes neither parent in this family attended college and has student loan debt.

will be an increase in the number of students served.

Filmer said there is a lot of need in the area.

“It’s a little under the radar, and if you’re not experiencing it yourself, you don’t quite get it,” she said.

A larger problem

While food pantries and organizations like BV Buddy Bags are a lifesaver for families experiencing hardship, they serve as a Band-Aid for a larger problem.

Smith said until the county sees more job creation, he does not see the issue improving.

“People need access to gainful employment to improve their condition,” he said, adding with the loss of local businesses dating back to the 1990s, such as Harper Wyman, LTV Steel, Citizens First National Bank and more, conditions in the community have become worse.

“Many other businesses have downsized their personnel levels,” he added.

Based on the increasing low socioeconomic population, Smith said the area has definitely experienced an erosion of the middle class.

“More and more of our parents are jobless or working multiple jobs to make ends meet,” Smith said.

Based on trends recorded at the Bureau County Food Pantry, Hoffeditz agreed the middle class in Bureau County is shrinking.

“There are people coming in here that have two adults in the household working. They both have jobs, but have all expenses going up and not being able to make ends meet,” she said.

Hoffeditz’s records show more families are utilizing the food pantry — and they are stopping in more frequently. Even with more frequent stops, the food pantry can not supply a family with all the food it needs. It is meant to fill in the cracks.

“There are families out there who are starving, and there are hungry individuals in our county,” Hoffeditz said.

Aside from the prices of food going up, incomes going down or residents facing significant circumstances that have crippled their finances, Hoffeditz, like Smith, said one of the largest contributing factors to the great need in the county is not only the lack of jobs, but that lack of jobs that provide a living wage.

“What people are bringing home is not close to what they have to cover to pay for rent,” she said.

“Even a one-bedroom apartment can be anywhere from $400 to $550 a month, and that’s not including utilities.”

Once a family becomes trapped in a low-income situation, it can be hard to claw its way out. The cycle is known to perpetuate, with each subsequent generation of that family battling the same problem, Hoffeditz said. That, she said, could spell long-term problems for this area.

“Until it impacts us or someone we know, we all have a tendency to think that it’s not happening here,” Hoffeditz said. “But it’s important to look at what it is doing to our community, and how many young families we’re losing because they can’t afford to live in the community, and how it is affecting our young children.”

Missionaries of assistance Walnut Food Pantry keeps doors open to all in need

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

WALNUT — With the holidays quickly approaching, Deanna Wilt said the Walnut Community Food Pantry will use everything they are given because as an establishment with nothing but entrances, they never turn anything or anyone away.

Wilt, director at the food pantry since its inception in 2005, said the pantry is not overly low on its supplies because they stay on task and have people who are very good about giving.

“This is a faith-based organization, so we mention our needs, and we’ve got it,” Wilt said, speaking of the generous blessings that stream in from community members. “We can always use shampoo, bar soap, toilet paper and other toiletries because they go off the shelves quick.”

Wilt said canned fruits and vegetables and spaghetti sauce are popular food items, and they allow

pantry customers to bring a shopping list instead of handing them a pre-packaged bag of goods.

“We don’t want to waste anything if they’re not going to use it,” she said.

The pantry also distributes Christmas baskets in mid-December with canned goods and other wonderland products, and Wilt wanted to give special mention to the Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts who canvas the town a week before distribution collecting everything they can. People can hand out goods at their door, leave them on their porch or drop them off at the pantry if they want to contribute to the baskets.

The Giving Tree program is also one of Wilt’s favorite activities at the pantry. Wilt said families fill out information tags that include clothing, hat, mitten and coat sizes, as well as a favorite toy for good

measure. The tags are then distributed to church and school members who can afford to offer kindness in Christmas wrap and bow.

“There are so many participants, and they feel it’s very important for them to do this even though many of them don’t know the child receiving the gifts,” Wilt added.

Wilt marvels at the gratitude of each excited recipient because for some it might be all they get on a given Christmas, and she said each volunteer extends in volume the true meaning of Christmas.

“We are put on this earth with a mission to help others because that’s what Jesus wants us to do.”

The Walnut Community Food Pantry, opens each Thursday from 4 to 7 p.m. and is located at the Walnut United Methodist Church, 111 Liberty St. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

Freedom From Page 1 Helen Aimone of Granville. “We are doing everything we can; we just need the public’s help.”

While Freedom House isn’t to the point of even thinking about closing its doors, it is making decisions and looking at a variety of scenarios the agency might have to take if finances remain so stringent. While McVety said “it’s nearly impossible to plan for the future in the midst of the current fiscal uncertainty,” the agency is cutting expenses, not filling vacant positions and working to increase its volunteers to help prepare for the future.

Serving a population of 108,000 people in five counties — Bureau, Henry, Marshall, Putnam and Stark counties, Freedom House provides 24/7 hotline services, a 28-bed shelter open 365 days a year, medical advocacy 24/7 to four hospitals, legal advocacy for around 300 orders of protection annually, prevention programming to more than 18,000 students annually, and 7,500 hours of counseling to victims and family members. All of these services are provided at no cost to victims.

But if the dollars don’t show up soon, Freedom House will be forced to begin to cut services and focus on core programming. First on the chopping block would be the prevention education at schools and counseling for sexual/domestic violence clients.

With those impending cuts in mind, the staff at Freedom House is hoping area residents will keep or put this agency on their gift-giving lists, since donations from the public are integral to its success. While the agency appreciates donations of all kinds, it does not need clothes or food or other tangible items. What it needs now is money to replace the dollars lost from the state and federal input.

“We need more private donations, unrestricted funds. We need a cash flow in order to pay the bills,” Luft said.

Freedom House’s annual holiday letter will be arriving in mailboxes soon. It’s a holiday card sent to friends and partners who have helped to support the agency in the past.

“But we’d like more friends,” said Aimone.

Freedom House is a 501(c)3 organization. All donations are tax deductible. Those with questions can call McVety at 815-872-0087.

Meanwhile, Freedom House will keep swimming upstream to hopefully continue its services.

“It’s like trying to navigate a kayak through a raging river,” McVety said. “You can’t afford to stop and enjoy the scenery.”

Editor

From the editor’s desk Well, the wind finally died down a bit. Typical November weather, I know, but for a few days I felt like I was in an episode of “The Wizard of Oz.” Actually, I don’t mind November weather, and I like those somewhat dreary days that November tends to offer — kind of cloudy, cool and a bit windy. For some reason, I find myself being somewhat introspective during those pre-winter days, preparing myself for the season to come and reflecting on where I’ve been all year long. I don’t know if that makes sense, but then again, the older I get, the less sense I tend to make. Ha! ••• We at the Bureau County Republican are sure proud of the Hall Red Devils and the Princeton Tigers football teams who bowed out of the playoffs on Saturday, each losing their respective quarter-final games. It was a great run ... something of which to be proud, and no doubt a story those young men will tell their own chilTerri Simon dren someday in the future.

While I know the ultimate goal is to take your athletic abilities to state, there’s no reason to hang your heads. Win or lose and regardless of whether we’re talking football, other sports, academics, fine arts or any other competition, we applaud your participation and your ability to represent us as fine young men and women.

Congratulations, guys, on a great season. We also tip our hats to the coaches, the cheerleaders, the fans, the parents and all those who support our area students. You make us very proud.

••• By the time I write my next “From the editor’s desk” column, Thanksgiving will just be a few days away. It’s difficult to believe another Thanksgiving holiday is just around the corner, followed by Christmas in just a few weeks. While I know it’s a busy, busy time of year, I hope you’ll carve out some time to spend with those who you hold most dear. A delectable Thanksgiving feast doesn’t mean a thing without someone to share it with ... family, friends, neighbors. Try not to get so unstrung about how the green bean casserole and the stuffing is going to turn out, rather set your sights on making it a day filled with more memories that will ultimately etch themselves into your hearts. As the family and friends arrive and throughout your own personal feast, try to step back from the holiday hoopla for a moment or two and just listen ... the laughter, the stories, the sounds of those you hold most dear will no doubt fill your soul with more thanksgiving than that turkey and all the fixings.

Also, as you ready yourself for the upcoming holidays, please remember to shop locally when you can.

Every time you spend a dollar in your hometown or in Bureau County, it’s a win-win situation for everyone.

••• Customer Service Kudos: Do you know a business or an individual who delivers great customer service?

If so, I’d like to feature them in this column. Email your Kudos to me at tsimon@bcrnews.com, so I can let other readers know of your great customer service experiences. Following are a couple of Kudos I received recently: • Toni said, “I got good customer service at Casey’s General Store in Ladd. The girl behind the counter helped me carry my bag to the car, since I had just gotten out of the hospital and was having a hard time walking. I will always remember how nice she was.”

• Andrew said, “The people at Ace (in Princeton) are great community-minded business people. They are so helpful, especially when you come in and aren’t quite sure what you need. They listened to me and gave me different solutions to my problem without being pushy. I like their attitudes and their customer service. I will definitely return to shop there, and I will tell my friends to shop there too.”

What is your favorite Thanksgiving dish and who makes it?

“My favorite Thanksgiving dishes are creamed corn made by my Grandma Carolyn and deviled eggs made by my dad.”

Ashley Farraher, Princeton

“My favorite Thanksgiving dish is my husband’s homemade broccoli cauliflower casserole.

Everyone asks for it on Thanksgiving.”

Kim Rich, Wyanet

“My favorite Thanksgiving dish is my mom’s homemade noodles with bread crumbs. I absolutely love it.”

Tara Gross, Princeton

“My favorite Thanksgiving dish is tamales de mole.

My family and I cook it together.”

Yury Cano, Princeton

“My favorite Thanksgiving dish is raw/no bake apple pie. We use ground flax seed and oatmeal along with dates for the crust, plus lots of thinly sliced peeled apples with ground cinnamon and voila — raw apple pie. My husband, Tim, and I both help with Thanksgiving preparations.”

Renee Tiemann, Princeton

The Quiet Game When my mother and I owned a daycare in the ‘90s, someone introduced us to the joy of “The Quiet Game.” Said with enough enthusiasm and the right inflection in your voice, any child can be enticed to play. The goal is to be the quietest for the longest period of time. If you talk ... you’re out. I LOVED this game. I would gladly play along with my daycare kids in order to encourage them to play. The competition could be fierce. Young and old alike got caught up in the spirit of the game.

Every once and awhile, I’d get a stubborn kid who didn’t want to play. They would ruin it for everyone. They’d go about their noisiness and take all of the fun out of it for the rest of us. When the challenge was issued, they’d simply reply, “I don’t want to play.” It’s hard to demand that someone play The Quiet Game. If you’re not willing, you simply don’t win.

In The Quiet Game of life, I was always a loser. No one has ever used adjectives pertaining to silence in order to describe me.

When I enter a room, most people

Lori Boekeloo COMMENTARY are aware of my presence. I like to talk. I tend to be loud. I’d like to think of myself as social, but those closest to me will come up with less flattering terms of endearment for my boisterous personality. I’m surprised my mother’s eyes weren’t permanently affixed to the upward position. She rolled them constantly at my behavior. My mouth moving was like fingernails on a chalkboard for the poor woman. I constantly got reminded that ladies were more subdued. I was encouraged to be quiet. Disappointment surrounded her efforts to raise a ladylike daughter with a subtle demeanor.

About 14 years ago, I attended a retreat where we were asked (it was implied that it was REQUIRED), to be silent through the evening.

WHAT? Put me in a group of 50

women I’ve never met and then tell me to be quiet? What kind of torture was THIS? The purpose was to still yourself and listen to God. OK ... I was on board with that concept, but it was hard. I’m not sure I was 100 percent successful, but I did well for ME. Since that experience, I have learned the benefits of quietness.

I now seek quiet times. I actually look forward to the early morning (yes- this is new too!) before my son rises. At this time I feel closest to God because I take time to listen to His voice. I can’t do that when I’m barking orders and issuing directions for the day.

I’m learning to be a willing participant in The Quiet Game. I am no longer the youth that says, “LALALALA ... I don’t want to play!”

Now, when God whispers, “Who can be the quietest?” I’m in the running to be the winner!

Titans stun Red Devils 2A Quarterfinals

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — The Hall Red Devils had a seemingly comfortable 18-point lead with 12 minutes to play Saturday, Nov. 14, at the Richard Nesti Stadium during Class 2A quarterfinals action. But momentum shifted and the fourth quarter belonged solely to the Annawan-Wethersfield Titans.

The Titan used numerous big plays and three turnovers that translated to 27 unanswered fourth-quarter points to shock the home crowd, rallying for a 30-21 victory.

“We said stay the course, finish the game together whatever you do. Battle for four complete quarters and that’s what it takes against a quality team like that,” AW coach Brandon Johnston said.

PRINCETON — Derek DeBruhl, standing by himself at midfield, turned and solemnly watched the final seconds tick off on the historic football season for Princeton High School. He, like all the Tiger faithful, didn’t want to see it come to an end.

The Tigers finally met their match in visiting Elmhurst Immaculate Conception in Saturday’s 3A quarterfinal contest at Bryant Field, which scored on its first three possessions of the game and never trailed. The Knights used two touchdowns to start the second half and pulled away for a 37-12 victory in the 3A quarterfinals.

The loss was the first of the season for Princeton (11-1), which reached the playoffs for the first time in 12 years and the quarterfinals in 13 years.

“It was just my last game and my last play.

I wanted to be out there when the clock hit zero.” said DeBruhl, one of five Ohio participants in the Tiger co-op. “It stunk. It’s my last football game. I played all four years with those guys and JFL back to the fifth grade. It was a lot of fun.”

Senior captain Jacob Smith also reflected on the game and Tigers’ season.

“Just another real exciting game to be playing in.

It was great to be a part of the quarterfinals and have it on Bryant Field.

Great crowd was out and it felt electric,” Smith said. “IC was a great team.

They were disciplined; they played together; and they played very fundamental football. Tough to beat that.

“I love our guys,

Lady Bruins to practice fast and play fast

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

The St. Bede Lady Bruins are aiming higher this season and taking a quicker approach to get there.

“I want us to play fast.

One of the very first things I said to them was, ‘Practice fast and play fast.’ I just want them to continue moving in the right

direction while playing at a high efficient level,” St. Bede coach Tom McGunnigal said.

After 15 seasons of finishing above .500 and amassing an impressive record of 346-102, the Lady Bruins have finished with a sub .500 record in back-to-back years for the first time in McGunnigal’s tenure.

“I’m very excited. It’s pretty rare that you have eight returning seniors who gained a lot of on-court experience last year. From all indications they are ready and came into the first day of practice ready to get after it, so they have been as billed.

Our juniors have also blended in well with what our seniors have going,”

McGunnigal said.

Such a senior heavy squad presents a good problem for the Bruins as a starting five has not been set and will likely evolve throughout the season, depending on the needs of the team and what rotation matches up best with its opponents.

“It’s a familiarity thing and understanding each

other,” McGunnigal said.

“We collectively don’t want to go through what we did as a team last year.

Eight wins for our program isn’t a situation we want to be in, and this group has taken steps to be that group that gets us back to where we want St. Bede basketball to be at.”

From Page 9 you have to execute if you’re going to come out on top against a good team.”

PHS coach Jesse Snyder said the Knights’ no-huddle and spread formations gave the Tigers problems.

“A few times we may have shot ourselves in the foot, but they earned everything they got. They did a nice job of making things happen when they had to,” Snyder said.

The Tiger coach said it was a big momentum swing when the Knights scored twice to start the second half.

“At half, 21-12, we’re right there. We had to come out and play disciplined, focused football, and we did that. The chips just didn’t fall the way we needed to,” he said.

Luke Ricobene got the Knights on the board first with a 35-yard scamper on a quarterback draw just under seven minutes to play in the first quarter.

The Tigers, who opened the game with three straight passing plays, went back to their ground game on their second possession. That meant giving the ball to their workhorse Smith, who rushed nine

EIC opened up a 21-6 lead early in the second quarter with a three-yard TD pass to Pat Jordan and a 37-yard run by Rowell.

How did the Princeton Tigers turn it around like that?

It was as simple as the “All In” approach coach Jesse Snyder has preached from Day 1.

“It’s a credit to all our kids buying into the work ethic and what in takes in the off season, playing as one and doing things the right way,” Snyder said.

The Tiger coach said Saturday’s 37-12 quarterfinal loss to Elmhurst IC Catholic doesn’t take away anything the Tigers accomplished this season.

“I’m proud of the way the kids played tonight and all season. Kids have nothing to hang their heads about,” he said. “Our seniors made a commitment four years ago to build a foundation for this program and get us to the point where we are now. The juniors bought into that; our sophomores bought into that; and now it’s passing the torch to the younger guys; and we want to make sure we continue this in the future.”

PHS senior Jacob Smith said it was all about everybody believing in the mission.

“Just sticking together as a team and really believing in the goal and hard work,” he said. “Everybody did their part and worked hard

Hall’s Matt Krolak (above) goes on the loose while teammate Jake Merkel (below) tip-toes the sidelines in Saturday’s 2A quarterfinal action at Nesti Stadium in Spring Valley.

Red Devils From Page 11 decisions. We made some mistakes down the stretch,” Hall coach Randy Tieman said.

“We weren’t able to run the ball very well. My hat’s off to them.

They played great defense. We took what they were giving us at first and made some plays on defense early in the first quarter and we took advantage of that, but we didn’t move the ball as well as we should have.”

Hall came out gunning in the third quarter as the momentum from senior receiver Jake Merkel’s 22-yard reception with 1:16 in the second carried over after halftime and the Red Devils added 14 more points in the frame.

First a two-yard plunge from senior running back Matt Krolak got the second half scoring started. Less than two minutes later, a 30-yard pick six from senior cornerback Chris Hammonds with an interception return gave the Red Devils a 21-3 lead with 6:28 to play in the third.

From there on the Titans wouldn’t be denied. They rattled off 27 fourth-quarter points starting with a two-yard run by A-W standout James Reed, who capitalized on a 15-yard reception

by Bumphrey that got the Titans down to the goal line.

“When a team gets momentum it’s hard to come back from. We didn’t expect it to come out the way it did. We didn’t expect this outcome. I’m not saying we looked over this team at all because we didn’t. We didn’t at all. It’s the third round and all these teams

are good and we realize that, but once a team gets that momentum, it’s hard to stop,” Hammonds said.

Hammonds rushed for 1,294yards and 19 scores this season but the Titans defense held the shifty back to just 35 yards on nine carries and kept him out of the end zone.

“That was our game plan coming in, to stop the run and they’re very good at it,” Johnston said. “They are very good throwing the ball too, but when we put them in situations when we know they’re going to pass, it’s going to be a huge help for us.”

The Red Devils finish their season with a 9-3 record and made the playoffs for the third straight year. This group came in as freshmen under then first-year coach Randy Tieman and has got the Hall Red Devils football program

“They’ve set the example for this program. They were freshmen when I came in, and they bought into everything that we did and they’ve had success all the way though,” Tieman said.

Hammonds was also proud of what his team has accomplished.

“One thing that my boys did this year was taking the next step.

That’s what they did. I’m not talking about in this game. I’m not talking about football. I’m talking about believing in their father, Jesus Christ. That’s all that matters,” Hammonds said. “That’s a great group of guys and I told them from the start that no matter what, it’s just a game. There is a greater vision.”

“I’ve tried to make them as uncomfortable as I can in practice because we want to challenge them and shake it up a bit and try to put them in as many game type of situations in practice to put some pressure on them and make them a little bit more competitive.”

McGunnigal expects to have a rotation of 11 players. Those who will see the bulk of the playing time are his eight returning seniors in forwards Rachel Sickley and Maddy Pearson, along with centers Hanna Bima and Brianna Lau and guards Julia Pohar, Postula, Gabbie Morrow and Maty Nowakowski.

Schupp, Ludford and junior forward Thea Mauck are also in line to see numerous minutes throughout the season. Other squad members include juniors Emily Edwall, Julia Browning and Chase Ludford and Xavier Braboy and senior transfer Dominique Schupp.

Captains are Pohar, Postula, Sickley and Bima, who will keep the Bruins heading in the right direction toward a winning season.

“I put it on those four to make sure the rest of the team is coming along and are ready to go. I feel like we have a ton of weapons that could go off on any given night and make it happen for us. Our leaders on the team need to step into their roles and make their teammates around them better,” McGunnigal said.

Bima returns as the center piece to the Bruins’ offense.

The 6-0 center brings with her a team-leading 9.5 points and 5.7 rebounds a game.

“They’re working hard so far. Is there room for improvement? Absolutely. I believe in each one of their athletic abilities and if they keep working hard, they will become quicker, faster, better shooters and they’ll also learn to communicate better with each other. I’ll never say that there isn’t anything to work on the next day because there is just so many aspects to this game.”

The Lady Bruins travel to Brimfield once again to kick the season off at the Brimfield Turkey Tournament at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20.

From Page 12 to build a better whole and team. Coach kept us together and did a great job being a great role model.”

What Snyder will take away most from the Tigers’ season is their sense of one.

“Just the camaraderie of every single one of the guys,” he said.

“Nobody cared who scored the touchdown, who made the tackle. It was just all about us succeeding as one. The characters we have on the team and the great kids we have here at PHS. The relationships that have been built are huge.”

• Bend, but don’t break: EIC coach Bill Krefft knew all about the Tigers’ offense, headed by senior back Jacob Smith and quarterback Jake Reinhardt. He said the Knights just wanted to limit the damage they did.

“The idea with somebody like that (Smith) is just bend, but don’t break. Hold on for dear life, keep them contained, keep them bundled up as much as you can,” Krefft said. “That’s a great running back over there.

Smith finished with 166 yards rushing on 31 carries with a touchdown rushing and a touchdown receiving. Reinhardt completed 17 of 29 pass attempts, spread out to seven different receivers.

“It’s been awesome. I wouldn’t want to play anywhere else but Princeton,” DeBruhl said. “It’s just going to be different. I looked forward to seeing those guys at practice.

• Wounded warriors: PHS senior Jett Wedekind took a blow to the head in the first quarter and never returned to the field, held out for precautionary reasons for a concussion. Junior Blake Janssen was knocked out in the second half with a blow to the midsection and did not return. They were both doing OK Monday.
