Pearl City baseball preseason overlook

By Trent Scheidegger REPORTER

Head coach Darrell Pauley and the Pearl City Wolves have been battling with the weather to get prepared for this season. In hopes to not destroy their field with recent conditions the Wolves have been doing what they can to get their practice reps in, by holding practice in the school gymnasium and even going onto the football field for last week to at least get in the grass.

Despite the weather and the cancellations, Pauley’s team is still set up to have a great year if they play their cards right. The Wolves are sticking with their goal of winning a conference championship and winning a Regional, the same goal they have every year. This year could be the year they make it happen. Despite going 10-13 last season the Wolves have a group of seven seniors, six of which are returning seniors who have two or more years of starting experience. The group of seven seniors are Drake Musser, Braden Smargiassi, Brock Smargiassi, Zach Lieb, Kade Knoup, Collyn Kuberski, and Caleb Tichler.

These seniors will provide the Wolves with some great leadership, as well as some experienced arms on the mound as five of them have pitched for Pearl City. The returning players gives Pauley confidence in not only his pitchers, but the defense as a whole, as his guys are even more familiar with their positions, are more mature, and are a highly athletic group of guys. Pauley acknowledges this team’s opportunity saying “We have a lot of potential with our seniors.”

Pauley’s only concern for a weakness is a lack of depth as they carry just eighteen athletes from freshman to seniors. It will be crucial for these boys to find ways to remain healthy throughout the season with their low numbers.

If the Wolves can get on the field they will begin their season with two conference games as following a matchup with Fulton this past weekend they travel to Galena and Lena-Winslow this week. The two first conference games will be key in beginning their run to completing their goal of becoming conference champs.

Lena-Winslow Softball preseason overlook

By Trent Scheidegger

The LeWin Lady Panthers have begun their 2019 softball season as they faced off with Freeport in an out of conference matchup last weekend. The Panthers fell by a score of 11-5 in their season opener, but the game served as a good opportunity for the young team to simply get some time on the field and get comfortable with live action as the weather has been an issue for local teams this season.

Despite losing the season opener and going 10-15 last season, head coach Paul Everding and his Lady Panthers have a lot to look forward

to this season. Their roster is very young, featuring just a pair of seniors in Maleah Linden and Megan Packard the rest of the varsity roster is filled out by a strong core of six juniors, three sophomores, and a freshman in Kamryn Cain.

In his fourth year as head coach, Everding has developed a strong relationship with his well experienced squad and looks to develop that same relationship with his younger players. One of Everding’s team strengths is in fact the chemistry these girls have developed by playing so long together. He believes the team has an impressive intelligence and understanding of the

game, which will help them grab some wins throughout the season.

Some of the key players that Everding says will contribute to the team’s success this season are junior Zoe Johnson and Kierra Lynn Schulz, and senior Ella Brunner. Johnson returns as the teams number one pitcher and has developed an important relationship with Schulz who is the team’s catcher.

Those two will play major roles in

the Panthers success, as will Brunner who holds down the hot corner at third base. The team also returns multiple starters throughout the rest of the field and will rely on their defense to keep them in a lot of games.

One of the team weaknesses, according to Everding, is their lack of speed. This makes the team’s chemistry and defense even more important as they will have to play

smart and take advantage of every single opportunity they have in order to compete and win games this season.

The Panthers have their eyes on their goal of making it as far as they can and winning a sectional championship this year, but it will be really exciting to see their young core develop and grow throughout the season which could set them up for a major run next year.

Lightly press the wide ends together.

It is getting closer to Easter, so once again our thoughts turn to bunnies and carrots. This carrot cake recipe has no bunnies, but it has an interesting combination of orange and ginger. It is a beautiful cake on a cake stand. You could even put some candy carrots on the top for decoration.

Orange Ginger Carrot Cake

1 C. oil 1¼ C. sugar 4 eggs 1 T. orange zest 2 C. flour 2 t. baking powder 2 t. ground ginger 1 t. baking soda 1 t. salt 1 t. cinnamon ¼ t. ground nutmeg 3 C. finely shredded carrots Preheat the oven to 350. Spray 2 (9 inch) round cake pans with baking spray with flour. In a large bowl, beat sugar, oil, and eggs with a mixer at medium-high speed until combined, 3 to 4 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Add the zest, beating until combined.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

With a mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture into the sugar mixture, beating until combined.

Beat in carrots gently until combined. Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 23 minutes. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks. Spread Orange Cream Cheese Frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake. Press pecans onto sides of cake. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving or up to 2 days.

Orange Cream Cheese Frosting

1 C. butter, softened 1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened 6 C. powdered sugar 1½ t. orange zest 2 t. fresh orange juice

1½ C. chopped toasted pecans In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and cream cheese on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth.

Beat in orange zest and juice until smooth. Use immediately.

This slow cooker dessert is a delicious way to get your blueberry fix.

Aldi’s has been having delicious and plump blueberries at a great price.

It uses a cake mix, so there is just a very short preparation. It is unique in that it calls for using a paper towel under the lid of the cooker. Using the paper towels under the lid will catch condensation and keep it from dripping on the cobbler topping. If you can’t find French Vanilla Cake mix, use plain vanilla or yellow cake mix instead.

Upon receiving permission, he gathers them together and issues a General Absolution of their sins, should many lose their lives that day. One particular soldier feels compelled to briefly remain behind to privately confess, and give himself assurance that he has fully turned back to his Lord. Chaplain Barrett also has a discussion with a local civilian who owns slaves and finds no particular need to reverse such a practice.

Lena Winslow baseball preseason overlook The LeWin Panthers and head coach Nick Werhane have been preparing to open up their baseball season. Werhane, who is in his fifth year as head coach of the Panthers, is looking to keep things fun and energized, while still focusing on playing hard and winning. He says his goal for the team is to “have fun, play hard, and compete each and every game - We can have a very good season if we commit to those things.”

LeWin returns a quality group of seniors who have starting experience, and due to this Werhane believes their leadership will be a key attribute to their success this season.

Pizza and wing lunch

The Orangeville Chapter of Highland Community College Servant Leadership is hosting a pizza and wings lunch to raise money for the Hearts and Hands for Hunger Benefit. It will be March 31, from 11-3 p.m. at High Noon Saloon and Eatery: 323 W. High Street St., Orangeville. Tickets are $10.

your source for on-line news:

RVPNEWS. COM

Cade Benson all return from last year as they look to make one final run in the Panther uniform. They are also joined by a new senior in Colton Lane, who Werhane says will have a big impact on their team this season.

It’s not all about the seniors, however, as LeWin carries a young group of twelve freshman and sophomores, as well as two juniors on their squad.

One that really stands out is Max Amendt, who Werhane will also be a player to watch for the Panthers this season.

Together, Werhane says his team has a great work ethic, and believes their team speed will allow them to take advantage of some teams

throughout the season. Despite the returning group of seniors, Werhane does believe that the teams weakness this year will be their lack of experience and team depth. However, they still have a great group of athletes and it will be give their large group of freshman and sophomores the opportunity to get varsity experience and to play along side some tremendous leaders.

The Panthers will open up their season this week with three straight conference games as they face off with River Ridge-Scales Mound twice on Tuesday and Thursday, and host the Pearl City Wolves on Wednesday.
