Stepping out
Cade Cunningham becoming a leader with the help of Mike Boynton
Chris Becker It’s not often that a freshman comes into Oklahoma State, let alone any other college basketball team, and immediately picks up the role as a leader. But it also isn’t every day the No. 1 freshman in the country plays in Stillwater. Cade Cunnigham came to Stillwater as the highest-rated recruit in school history, but once he got to campus, he dropped that title and began to be a leader on the team by being a normal college basketball player. “I came in with a lot of hype,” Cunningham said. “Being able to come in and work just as hard. I don’t want anybody to feel like they have to cater to me or anything. I think me coming in and not asking for any extra or complaining about all the stuff that everybody is doing, I think that has been a big thing for the team to see because they know that I’m in this with them.” Among other attributes, Cunningham knows the game well and how it works. Cunningham takes any opportunity to share his knowledge of his craft with his teammates. “I think I have a pretty good basketball IQ, so I share it whenever I can,” Cunningham said. “I think I’m a pretty decent leader, I’m not the best leader ever but
I’m alright so I just try and bring that to the team.” However, coach Mike Boynton acknowledges that Cunningham is a leader on the team but still has work to do in that department. Boynton said he is helping Cunningham be more vocal during practices, but Cunningham still has to develop because at the end of the day, he is still a freshman. “It’s actually not his most natural thing,” Boynton said. “He’s embraced that he needs to develop that skill a little bit more, it’s an area of improvement for him to be more of a vocal guy. I tell guys all the time the No. 1 component of leadership to keep in mind is, ‘Do people follow you?’ “You’re not a leader because you are a senior, you’re not a leader because someone names you capitan, or because you are older. You’re a leader because people follow you.” Boynton said that Cunningham’s leadership will be what NBA scouts look for when they watch film of practices and games because it’s how he helps others succeed that will help him in the long run. “I’ve encouraged him to take more ownership, even as a freshman, who we expect to make a lot of contributions to us because obviously, at the end of the day, there are going to be a lot of eyeballs on him and his decision making in regards to helping other guys have success,” Boynton said. sports.ed@ocolly.com

Bracing for another long road to recovery Sam Hutchens Among the sideline of white-clad Cowgirls in Neal Patterson Stadium on Friday night, one player wore street clothes. Street clothes, and a black knee brace that wrapped around her entire right leg. The player who looked out of place during the match was OSU redshirt freshman forward Peyton Vincze. She stood with her teammates on the sideline for the entire match to support her
team. Exactly two weeks prior to that event, Vincze suffered an ordeal, which has her teammates hoping to reciprocate that support — a devastating injury. In the 87th minute of OSU’s Sept. 25th match against West Virginia, Vincze fell to the turf. She was down for several minutes before being helped to the locker room while crying against the pain. “The way she was grabbing it and the way she was reacting, right when she fell we all kind of knew,” junior midfielder Grace Yochum said.

News COVID-19 update
By Ryan Boyce
Oklahoma’s State Department of Health’s COVID-19 dashboard reported 211 active cases in Payne County with 172 cases coming from Stillwater, on Wednesday. No additional deaths were reported yesterday. At the state level, the dashboard reported an increase of 56 active cases to a new total of 13,908. 13 additional deaths were reported from yesterday. These new numbers bring the total case count in Oklahoma over the course of the pandemic to 102,615. The Oklahoma Department of Health recommends that masks be worn in public places especially indoor spaces like schools and restaurants.
Halloween: 2020 edition Marcus Trevino The Oklahoma State Department of Health released recommendations for practicing Halloween traditions during the COVID-19 pandemic Wednesday. The state Commissioner of Health urges people to celebrate the holiday wisely. “There are a multitude of ways people can safely enjoy the holiday season this year and connect with loved ones without putting anyone in unnecessary risk,” Dr. Lance Fry said. State and local health departments caution people to avoid crowded parties, indoor haunted houses and limit group activities to 10 people. Trick-or-treating is known as the most popular Halloween event, but it’s risky amidst the pandemic since it involves people touching doorbells, doors and hand-to-hand exchanges of candy. Instead of observing this tradition normally, the health department encourages people to prepare individual goodie bags for touchfree trick-or-treating. Additionally, they say cloth masks are not an acceptable substitute for costume masks. Like many time-honored traditions in 2020, Halloween will need to adapt. Demi Solano, an OSU freshman, said she and her roommates are looking forward to Halloween, but they’re going to make sure to stay safe. “We’re going to dress up and carve pumpkins in our dorm,” Solano said. “Then we plan on watching scary movies while we eat spooky-themed snacks.” For those who are trying to have fun while maintaining social distancing, the CDC has other recommendations such as holding a virtual costume contest. Creativity will be key this holiday season to stop the spread of coronavirus.

The Students of Zoom By Anna Pope
Let’s all be frank and admit showing up to Zoom lectures is harder than showing up to inperson lectures. Many students attending classes virtually do not turn on their camera, but those who do are often the most interesting people. From the students wearing experimental clothing to those who show up just to sleep, the virtual school experience gives a vivid insight into students’ true selves. To help you discover which category of Zoom student you are, here are some descriptions that may just be you.
The Fashionista Making an effort in their appearance, this student is often staring at themselves instead of the lecture slides. However, don’t be fooled. These fashionistas look great from the waist up but from the waist down, they are wearing pajamas, athleisure or just underwear. The Sleeping Beauty Featured in bed or on a couch, this student usually wakes up five minutes before class begins. They will make a cup of coffee for the beginning of class only to sit down and fall back asleep, with or without their video on. If you are this person, regardless of how annoyed your professor or classmates may be with you, they do not blame you and wish they
were asleep, too. The Technologically Challenged Even though students are over halfway through the semester, some are still struggling with Zoom. This student will inevitably ask every time they speak if the class can hear them, and most of the time, you can’t. Often they will log into class with an unmuted microphone and are soon muted by the professor because everyone can hear them typing on their computer, the conversation they are having or the Netflix show they are watching. The Teacher’s Pet Classes on Zoom can lack discussion, but with this student, discussions are so stimulating the class runs over. In regular
There are many faces of Zoom class–– which has become a mainstay because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

circumstances, the whole class would usually engage in the conversation. However, over Zoom, the class is watching a conversation between the professor and this student, teaching everyone a valuable lesson. Sometimes, things like commentary and talking points are best sent in an email. The Hungry Seen constantly walking into their kitchen and setting down their laptop to make dinner, this student is always eating or drinking something. No matter the obscure hour the class begins, they will undoubtedly eat what appears to be an entire meal every class. Leaving the professor and every student eager for a class to end so they can also go eat something.

LIVING FOR OTHERS! "...I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain thesalvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.” (2Tim.2:10 NIV) “For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved. Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” (1Co.10:33-11:1 NIV) The words of the Apostle Paul. The apostle is telling us to follow his example as he follows Christ himself. Jesus went about helping, healing, encouraging, and challenging others. His final act on earth was to “die for others; you and me.” In the end, Christ has been exalted eternally to the highest place. Especially in I Co. 9 &10, Paul speaks of his rights as a man and minister of Christ. Yet, he did not take advantage of these rights so there would be no hinderance to his
message of Christ and his salvation. He did not want to place a stumbling block in anyone’s way. He wanted to do everything possible to bring people to Christ. He speaks of running a race to win a prize. In this life, men control their eating and activities to win temporary crowns, but in the Christian’s life we are to discipline ourselves to win a crown that lasts forever. (Co.9:24-27) The Lord Jesus said, “If anyone would come after me. he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” (Lu.9:23 NIV) However. it is not a call to strict religious rules and ceremonies, but a call to live a life in helping and serving others. Christ said, “...whatever you did for one of the least brothers of mine, you did for me.” (Mt.25:40 NIV) Living a lifestyle like this, has an eternal reward

Recovery Continued from page 1
Although he is not allowed to discuss the exact medical diagnosis, coach Collin Carmichael confirmed it will be a significant setback. “Peyton won’t be back for the rest of the season,” Carmichael said. “She had a season-ending injury.” For Vincze, it will be the second season-ending injury that she has suffered in as many years. Twelve days before she joined the Cowgirls for preseason training as a freshman in 2019, she tore her ACL. Her recent injury came as a gut punch to the entire team. “It was really sad,” freshman midfielder Grace Dennis said. “Especially since she had just gotten back this year and she had been hurt previously. It was really disappointing to see.” Misfortune has found Vincze twice in her young college soccer career. She will see both of her first two seasons as a Cowgirl come to a premature end. “Anytime a kid goes down like that it’s brutal,” Carmichael said. “For
Peyton, it’s twice as bad simply because of what she went through (last year) to get back.“ Although it is hard to see a player have to endure the ordeal of a seasonending injury multiple times, the fact that Vincze has scaled the mountain of recovery before provides some hope. “She is a tough kid,” Carmichael said. “She has been through it before. She knows what it takes, and I don’t doubt that she will get herself in position to get back on the field again.” Although she will not travel to away games because OSU only travels 22 of its 30 rostered players, Vincze will have opportunities to stay involved. “The coaches do a really good job of including everyone and making an effort to get (injured players) involved,” Yochum said. “Emotionally you are really low so that is when you need your teammates to step up and support you.” Yochum, who suffered a seasonending collarbone injury last year, found being around her team as much
as possible provided a much welcome escape from the rigors of rehab. “When I broke my collarbone, being around the team helped me, Yochum said. “I had to be around them. I had to get distracted because otherwise, I would just be thinking about my shoulder.” Yochum said that the Cowgirls are rallying around Vincze while she goes through this and trying to pick her up. Though injuries have limited Vincze’s two-year college soccer career to three games, her future as a Cowgirl still sets up well. Due to the odd nature of this season, NCAA eligibility will not be counted. That protocol allows Vince to, for all intents and purposes, redshirt the year. ALthough the recovery process will be arduous, the Cowgirls are confident Vincze will return to action soon. “Love the kid,” Carmichael said. “My heart goes out to her. She is strong. She will come back from it and we will get her back out there as quick as we can.”
