She first heard about the program during service at St. Luke's Episcopal Church. Madison stayed silent on the subject until her family returned home. She asked her parents more about the program and the kids who are in need.
Then she thought about the family vacation coming up.
"We were planning a trip to Disney World and she said, 'Well that is a lot of money,'" Madison's mother, Heather Jackson, said. "'If we have a lot of money in the bank, why are you spending it on Disney instead of on kids who need food?'"
Madison's parents explained the trip was already paid for, but they could do something when they returned.
James Jackson, Madison's father, said his daughter had a lot of beads, so she began making jewelry. Initially, the pieces were sold to friends and family. Now they can be found at local shops like Cooke's Food Store.
The bracelets and necklaces sell for $5.
Heather and James estimate Madison has made more than 50 pieces of jewelry.
Madison's story touched the heart of Lee Ann Lowe, Sac Pac coordinator.
"I cried," Lowe said. "I went to church and met her grandmother. I also saw the jewelry she is selling and it was so touching. It was just so touching to me that it affected her in that way."
Lowe compared Madison's efforts to those of Cleveland native and Tunes 4 the Troops founder Kaylee Marie Radzyminski. She said she believes Madison could have a similar story as Radzyminski.
"I almost see it going into that — The Madison Jackson Child Hunger Fund," Lowe said. "I think once people hear about her, they are just going to be blown away."
According to Lowe, efforts by Madison and other donors have helped increase the schools from last year's four to this year's seven. The program ended last year with 263 children signed up. This year, 434 elementary-aged students will be helped at the outset.
"It was a wake-up call to me, being born and raised in Bradley County, to be able to see first hand there are children who are going hungry in our county and city," Lowe said." It is an honor to be a part of the program and to know the difference Sac Pacs are making in children's lives."
Twenty dollars a month provides one student with a Sac Pac every Friday. These packs include food for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Students are specifically chosen for their free and reduced lunch status and socioeconomic standing.
Community members can sponsor a child for a weekend at $5, a month at $20 or a year at $240. Donations like the ones raised by Madison ensure the steady continuation and growth of the program.
While her jewelry is still being sold, Madison has decided to take up another venture to occupy her summer months.
"This summer she is doing a read-a-thon," Heather said. "Her family is supporting her and giving her money for every book she reads, because she loves to read."
Madison's voracious literary appetite has already consumed more than 25 books this summer. Sometimes she reads two books a day. James said his daughter is on track to read 100 books in two months.
Family members are giving the young philanthropist anywhere from a quarter to a dollar for every book she reads. Madison will collect and donate the money at the end of summer.
"We are just very proud and it inspires us and everyone in our family to do what we can to help anyone in need," James said. "We are very proud and inspired by her remarkable ability and [thoughtfulness]."

Hello, that recent posts sidebar on the main forums page is HELLA COOL! Thanks, Eric!
Sorry. I had to take it out temporarily. It's slowing things down. I'll have to use a different method of displaying it. It's trivial to do, just time consuming. I'll get it done either tonight or tomorrow night.
No hurry...but for the brief time that I saw it I really like the concept. The new fonts are nice, too. Seem crisper...
OK....so I am guessing at this point it IS just me. Firefox 3.0.5 For the last hour or so the format of all the forums has been virtually unreadable. All the lines, shading, spacing is basically gone.
I gotta say, not too big of a fan of the new font. Very hard on my old eyes.
OK...I shut everything down and it came back. And now I see it the way srlopez does. OK here, still kind of messed up in the user groups. I gotta say, not too big of a fan of the new font. Very hard on my old eyes.

Q Like other readers, I find the plans for changing the Golden Gate Bridge toll system to be ridiculous. Although I would not accuse you of flippancy, I would say you clearly don't get it when you say "keeping one booth open for cash payments might make delays worse" -- translation: to hell with the needs of the few.
Given your role as a traffic columnist, I think that rather than acting as an apologist for this awful plan you should be acting as an advocate for consumers who will be victimized. The absurdness of your current position is underlined by the number of words you have had to write to explain the new system.
As a frequent reader of your column, I can say I have never disagreed with you more.
Robert Woolard
Yosemite West
A Here's the deal. While removing all toll takers and converting to an all-electronic tolling system is new to us, it's not new in some parts of the U.S. or in other countries. It will be a pain for some drivers initially, and the opening March 27 is sure to invite some chaos. But if you have FasTrak or sign up for a credit-card account, you'll be fine.
But leaving one lane open to cash-only customers could be a disaster, as drivers cut across lanes at the last minute to jockey for position. One thing I've learned in 22 years on this beat is to give this a few weeks before you render judgment. If problems persist into the summer, feel free to call me absurd.
Today, about 70 percent of bridge users use FasTrak and about 30 percent pay in cash.
But I do have sympathy for one group of bridge users -- tourists.
Q I cannot find any information on what happens if you cross the bridge in a rental car. My sister is flying into Oakland in April, renting a car, driving to Santa Rosa to visit our mom, and then driving down to visit me in Menlo Park. How does she pay the toll on the Golden Gate?
Peg Austin
Menlo Park
A Make sure she discusses tolling policies and any fees the company may charge with the rental agent at the time of her reservation. Some may allow her to opt out of a tolling program. If not, the rental company will be mailed a toll invoice and she may be hit with some hefty fees.
Go to www.goldengate.org/tolls/tolltipsforvisitors.php for more information.
Q Nineteen states issue only one license plate for the rear. In other words, there is no front plate. I assume the Golden Gate Bridge system will take pictures of the rear plate? Two of those states are Arizona and Michigan. I have visitors from those states and they wanted to know.
Stan Kowalczyk
A Yes. Each toll lane has cameras that read both plates.
Q Since the Golden Gate Bridge is removing toll takers, there is no reason that the FasTrak transponders need to be at the current plaza. If they moved the transponder readers to the north end of the bridge, similar to what is in place on the Martinez Bridge, then removed or minimized the toll booths on the outside of the plaza, the cars with transponders can be directed to those lanes and pass through with little reduction in traffic flow. Why not read the transponders before the plaza and eliminate the need to slow or stop at the plaza?
Bob Meacham
A Not going to happen. Golden Gate officials say the lane configuration is tight and they lack the room to do any special toll reconfiguration. But the speed limit through the toll booths will be raised from 5 mph to probably 25 mph. A meeting will be held Thursday to discuss this.
Q What is going to happen during the carpool hours -- $3 per 3+-person carpool rate -- when the new tolling plan goes into effect on the Golden Gate?
Stephen Reynolds
Santa Cruz
A During carpool hours from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, lane No. 2 on the right side will be for carpoolers or drivers with white DMV-issued clean air decals. They must also have FasTrak to receive the $3 carpool toll.
Eligible carpool vehicles include motorcycles, buses and two-axle vehicles with three or more persons.
But two-seat vehicles and vehicles with rear-axle dual tires do not qualify on the Golden Gate. Also vehicles bearing the green DMV-issued clean air vehicle decal do not qualify for the discounted toll rate of $3.

Boys Hockey | Looking at potential Section 1A, 1AA matchups
Posted by: Feldman
There are still 10 days left in the boys hockey regular season, and a couple of key games remain that will impact the seeding process in both Section 1A and 1AA, but since I start thinking about this stuff the minute the Kiwanis Holiday Tournament finishes, I thought we'd try to map out some of the possible seeding scenarios.
I do this with one big asterisk: * I can't figure out how or why some Section 1 coaches vote certain ways each year (there always seems to be a vote or two cast for purely selfish or political reasons). And I haven't seen all of these teams play, so I'm going by records, stats, wins over quality opponents, etc.
Let's start with 1AA.
I started digging into stats and numbers and trends for 1AA teams, but, let's face it, this section goes through the No. 1-ranked team in the state, Lakeville North. I honestly don't know when the last time a Section 1 (A or AA) team was ranked No. 1 in the state.
This North team is the best team to come through the section since the 2006-07 Century team that placed third at the state tournament. If I had a time machine, it wouldn't be the first thing I'd do, but I'd certainly go back, load that whole 06-07 Century team into the machine and zap it into 2013-14 to watch it play against this year's North team. I could write a whole blog post just about that fantasy matchup, and maybe I will at some point during the playoffs...
The most intriguing battle for playoff positioning in 1AA lies among three Big Nine Conference teams: Century, Mayo and Owatonna. Those three teams are fighting for the 4-5-6 seeds. There's a chance that all three of Rochester's 1AA teams -- Mayo, Century, JM -- may have to go on the road for the first round of the playoffs. I don't ever recall that happening, but we'll get to those teams in a bit. Let's start at the top:
No. 1 seed: Lakeville North. It's clear North is the No. 1 seed. It's 18-3-1 and the top-ranked team in the state. It has played three games against section opponents, outscoring them by a combined 25-2. The Panthers battled injuries early in the year and started the season 2-3-0. They haven't lost since Dec. 7, going unbeaten (18-0-1) in their last 19 games. They hold wins against No. 3 Hill-Murray and two over No. 5-ranked Burnsville. They tied No. 6 Blaine, 3-3, on Dec. 27. They've won 11 consecutive games since that tie, outscoring those 11 opponents 58-13. Their depth is their strength; they have 12 players with 11 or more points.
No. 2 seed: Farmington. The Tigers schedule isn't as difficult as Lakeville South's, but it's really hard not to give the 18-3-1 Tigers the nod for the No. 2 seed ahead of a South team that is 7-14-0. Farmington hasn't lost since Dec. 17, going 13-0-1 since. It outscores its opponents by an average of more than 3 goals per game (5.32-2.14).
No. 3 seed: Lakeville South. The Cougars (7-14-0) get the No. 3 seed because of their 6-3 victory over Rochester Mayo. South has lost twice to North this season. South has a couple of the top players in the section, sophomore F Nick Swaney (12-28--40) and senior F Patrick Lauderdale (15-25--40).
Nos. 4, 5, 6: Owatonna, Mayo, Century. These seeds may not be clear until the final day of the regular season, Feb. 15, when Mayo and Century play for a second time this season. For Century (11-10-0) to have a shot at the No. 4 seed, it will have to beat Mayo and it might have to win its other three remaining games (at JM, vs. Albert Lea, at Mankato West). Of the three teams battling for the No. 4 seed (which means home-ice advantage in the section quarterfinals) Mayo likely controls its destiny. If the Spartans beat Owatonna (Feb. 11) and Century (Feb. 15), they should be in line for the No. 4 seed. Owatonna's next three games are against opponents with a combined 48 losses, so the Huskies should be 13-8-2 by the time they face Mayo. So, if Owatonna wins that game, it'll be 2-0 this season against Mayo and 1-1 vs. Century. That will likely be enough to give it the No. 4 seed and send all three Rochester teams in 1AA on the road for the opening round of section play.
No. 7 seed: Rochester John Marshall. The Rockets (5-15-1) are playing better than they were a month ago, but they're still struggling to finish scoring chances. That said, if the seeds play out the way I have them here, a JM at Farmington quarterfinal game would be really intriguing to watch. JM lost its season opener at Farmington by just one goal, 4-3, on Nov. 21.
No. 8 seed: Dodge County. The Wildcats (9-9-3) will, unfortunately, have their work cut out for them again in the opening round. They'll have to face Lakeville North in the opening round of the postseason.
The top two seeds in 1A are obvious, but after that, arguments can be made among two or more teams for seeds 3-13. I'd love to be a fly on the wall during the seeding meeting.
No. 1 seed: New Prague. The No. 6-ranked Trojans are 15-4-3 with three games remaining. Their losses are to Eagan, ranked No. 18 in Class AA; Farmington, an 18-win Class AA team; Hermantown, the No. 1-ranked team in Class A; and St. Cloud Cathedal, No. 10 in Class A. The Trojans get the nod for the top seed because of their 2-1 win at Mankato West on Jan. 4.
No. 2 seed: Mankato West. It's tough to think a team that sits 20-2-0 and is unbeaten in the Big Nine right now won't get the top seed, but, to me, West's head-to-head loss to New Prague trumps the differential in number of victories. That said, West and New Prague appear to be on a collision course that ends on Feb. 26 at the Rochester Recreation Center.
No. 3 seed: Albert Lea. The Tigers (11-7-1) are playing very good hockey right now, having won five in a row and six of their past seven. Four of those six wins are against Class AA teams (Owatonna, Rochester Century, Rochester JM and Rochester Mayo), all by at least two goals. The other two victories came against section foes Faribault and Austin. A.L. also has one of the top goalies in the section, junior Garrett Matz (11-7-1, 2.49 goals-against average, .923 save percentage).
No. 4 seed: Rochester Lourdes. Yes, the Eagles are just 5-14-1, and, yes, you need more than one hand to count the number of key players they've lost to injuries this season. But Lourdes has played a tough schedule (as usual) and it's younger players/guys who are new to varsity continue to improve. Now, can Lourdes find enough scoring to keep up with the top three seeds? That's going to be difficult. If the Eagles are going to beat some of the top teams in the section, they'll have to win close, low-scoring games. That means they'll need junior goalie Jack Burkel to steal a win or two for them in the postseason. Lourdes could make an argument for the No. 3 seed if it beats Albert Lea on Thursday.
No. 5 seed: Northfield. Northfield (9-12-1) has four losses to section opponents, but those are all to the four teams listed ahead of it here. The Raiders have played better over the past two weeks, following a six-game losing skid by winning three out of four. That one loss in the last four games was 3-2 setback to Farmington, a Class AA team that is 18-3-1.
No. 6 seed: Faribault. I'll make an argument for the 7-10-2 Falcons here, even though there are teams in the section with more wins (LeSueur-Henderson/SP has 11, La Crescent 13, but we'll get to those teams soon). I'd give Faribault the 6 seed because it has five wins against section opponents and a tie against Northfield. The Falcons four section losses have all come against teams with double-digit victory totals (two losses to Mankato West, one to Albert Lea, one to L-H/SP). The Falcons also have defeated Albert Lea once this season, which is another checkmark in their favor to get this seed.
No. 7: La Crescent. The Lancers (13-5-4) get the nod here ahead of LeSueur-Henderson/St. Peter because of their victory over L-H/SP. La Crescent plays most of its game against Wisconsin opponents, so it's tough to guage exactly where it falls in this section, but aside from beating L-H/SP, its section wins are against Mankato East, Waseca and Faribault, all teams with losing records. The Lancers also tied a 3-win Winona team.
No. 8: LeSueur-Henderson/St. Peter/TCU/Cleveland. The Bulldogs (11-7-2) are 4-3-0 against section opponents, including a win against Faribault. They also suffered a loss to Austin,which has just three wins. The Bulldogs are playing well over the past two weeks, going 4-1-1 in their past six games, and they won't be an easy opponent for anyone in the section.
No. 9: Mankato East. The Cougars (7-15-0) have wins over three of the four teams seeded below them.
No. 10: Red Wing. The Wingers (3-19-0) have lost to Northfield, New Prague and Lourdes. They beat Winona in a regular season game and also scored a big win earlier this season against Academy of Holy Angels.
No. 11: Austin. The Packers (3-16-1) are 1-1-1 against the other two teams remaining, Winona and Waseca. Austin has split with Winona and tied Waseca. Austin also holds a victory over L-H/SP.
No. 12: Winona. The Winhawks (3-15-2) holds wins over Austin and Mankato East, and a tie against La Crescent.
No. 13: Waseca. The Bluejays (4-13-1) are just 1-5-1 against section opponents this season.
We'll have a much better idea a week from now of where all these teams will land. So keep a close on games the rest of this week and next week because there are still a handful of games remaining that will have an impact on these seedings.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Rick Perry: Chinese Spy Enabler?
-By Siddhartha Mahanta
| Thu Oct. 13, 2011 11:50 AM PDT
Huawei building in San Jose Lipo Ching/Zuma
Over the past year, Gov. Rick Perry helped pave the way for China's
largest telecom company-a firm with ties to the Chinese military and
intelligence services that have sparked concerns among defense officials
and senior lawmakers-to relocate some of its operations to Texas.
Earlier this month, a report from the CIA on the Chinese military
confirmed that the Huawei, the company in question, maintains close ties
with the Chinese army. From The Washington Times:
[The] report states that Huawei's 2010 annual report failed to
mention that [Huawei chairwoman Sun Yafang], considered the most trusted
aide to Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, has ties to [the Ministry of State
Security], fueling suspicions of "potential close links between Huawei
and the Chinese government."
Mr. Ren was identified in the report as having worked for China's
military from 1974 to 1983 in the engineering corps. The report says
that Mr. Ren is purportedly China's most influential business leader
"who seldom mentions his military background in public."
In April, a publication sponsored by China's State Council newspaper
reported that Huawei received $36.8 million and $63.2 million in 2009
and 2010, respectively, from the government for "domestic development,
innovation, and research."
The company also received $48.2 million and $80 million in 2009 and
2010 for "completing certain research projects."
There's more to this story, though. The Washington Times piece makes no
mention of Perry's open courting of Huawei CEO Ren during a 12-day
bridge-building trip to China this past summer. At the ribbon-cutting
ceremony at the company's new headquarters last October (see video
below), Perry had kind words for Ren: "What a really interesting man he
is. Rather straight-spoken. If you didn't know any better, you'd say he
grew up out in West Texas....He truly is a very powerful chief executive
officer and a very focused, very hard driven individual, which, in the
world we live in today, is a great attribute."
Huawei has been a serious concern for US national security officials for
some time. In 2009, the National Security Agency warned AT&T not to
purchase Huawei equipment over concerns that Chinese intelligence could
use it to secretly eavesdrop on Americans. And in 2010, eight Republican
senators asked the Obama administration to investigate Huawei's effort
to sell equipment to Sprint Nextel. Both deals ultimately fell through.
You might dismiss China's potential infiltration into US communications
networks via Huawei as Conversation-style conspiracy talk, but it's not
totally unreasonable: Huawei has already reportedly tried to take over
Iran's telecom system, and India has accused Huawei employees of selling
spy technology to the Taliban.
How does Perry, whose grave warnings about the national security threats
on the campaign trail, explain his open embrace of Huawei? Eli Lake
asked veteran Perry adviser Dave Carney that very question:
Dave Carney, a strategist who has been with the governor for 14
years and would playa major role on a presidential campaign, defended
these moves when I asked him about them. He said that it's Washington's
job to vet corporations for national security reasons."..."If this
Chinese Company is as evil as has been reported, then the federal
government should step in to deal with it."
Carney has a point: National security isn't Perry's purview. But as
governor of a state that shares a 1,200 mile border with a foreign
country, you'd hope that he'd be more critical of a company with a
troublesome track record like Huawei.

Illinois bishop criticizes Obama, warns voters of 'grave sin' in letter
ASSOCIATED PRESS November 2, 2012 12:28PM

Updated: November 2, 2012 12:28PM
PEORIA — An Illinois bishop has ordered priests in his diocese to read a letter from the pulpit this weekend critical of President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats.
Catholic Diocese of Peoria Bishop Daniel Jenky's letter cites the president's unwillingness to consider Catholic objections to a requirement that insurance companies provide birth control to employees of religious organizations.
The letter says voters who enable "the destruction of innocent human life in the womb" are "guilty of grave sin."
Critics say the letter amounts to a violation of IRS guidelines. But diocese chancellor Patricia Gibson says the letter doesn't violate guidelines because it doesn't mention any candidate by name, although it does mention "the president."
Churches are allowed to engage in a wide range of political activities, and the IRS has rarely revoked a church's nonprofit status.

(You do not even know how much I want to embed the marlins and the trout video clip from The Social Network and then run. But for you guys, I'm going to do something more. Thankful? Okay. We can move on, then.)
The past two days have not been very much fun at all. The red-hot bats have kind of gotten lost in a forest with a cannibalistic witch who likes eating offense – hey, no raining on my poeticism – and yesterday stung especially, at least to me, because it was (you guessed it!) a Timmy start. Lincecum is 2-5 with a 6.41 ERA over ten starts this season. Just like the rest of this year, he was struck by the curse of the One Horribly Nasty Inning yesterday and it's a shame, because otherwise, he was doing quite nicely. Some argue that's Bochy call, to take him out before he melts down, but I don't really think that's an answer. Putting a table cloth over a messy table doesn't do any good, as they once remarked in my childhood favorite book Ballet Shoes. For whatever reason, that quote decided to pop up in my head in relation to Lincecum. I will choose not to comment.
But it wasn't until Andrew Baggarly's story for CSNBayArea.com today that I started to get seriously melancholy about all this. You can read the full story here. Here's an excerpt:
He [Lincecum] said he honestly cares about what the fans think and he doesn't want to let them down. He doesn't want them to reach the point where they expect him to fail or to boo him off the mound. Even after all he's accomplished in his career, he isn't taking any fan support for granted. "I don't want them to start to hate me," he said.
My first thought was, "C'mon, are we really that fickle?" My second thought: "Okay, yes. Maybe we are." Honestly, my overall like/dislike of a player generally has very little to do with how well they are playing at the moment. Career and, hey, personality play a big roll. But in terms of baseball-related frustration? That one can come on awful fast, for sure. You don't usually hear a player come out and say what Timmy said but it's an interesting quote, I think, maybe for that reason. In another part of the article, Lincecum remarks that "he knows he's close and there are as many good signs as bad ones. He has to focus on the good ones." To the fans, I think, it certainly does seem that way.
So let's join hands and be non-bashing, mellow-ish people for the final day in Miami tomorrow and onwards from that, okay? I mean, we're allowed to bash the new Marlins stadium and stuff. Just not Timmy… to his face.
Diamond Girl
p.s. In the interest of reader feedback, feel free to comment and tell me you would have preferred me just imbedding the marlins and the trout video. I won't be offended. Or at least I will pretend, through a barrage of internet smilies, not to be. Hugs.

Molitor gets the shaft in new Miller Park Parking Lot
Miller Park November 19th, 2009
Brew Beat has a great piece about some of the upgrades at Miller Park taking place this season. Lots of cool stuff like $1 Uecker parking, more shopping and an improved smoking area. (Even though I don't smoke I will always have a special place in my heart for the smoking area after I joined a friend out there and we saw see two girls making out. I'm pretty sure they lost that day, but I will always remember that game.) They also took the liberty of renaming the parking lots, thus ruining my perfect memorization of them, after the great Brewers legends of all time. Yount, Uecker, Cooper, Spahn, Fingers and Money are all covered here. One player, however, seems to have gotten the shaft from the team. Take a look. Read the rest of this entry »

Comments about Genea:
These shoes are excellent! I bought two pairs! I work at a fitnes center, and I am always on my feet. I love these shoes because I can use them for work, then to jog a mile or two after work. So, I don't need to have two pairs of shoes with me. One shoe does it all. :) I can't think of any cons, except a note to say that they do run very small. So, if you will be wearing thick socks, you may want to go a whole size larger than you usually do. Enjoy!

Comments about Genea:
I was looking for a Toachi-type footbed in a sneaker, but the Genea didn't meet that hope. The shoe was too narrow across the ball of the foot, and the toe box wasn't high enough. The arch support wasn't close to that of the Toachi. I'd love to see a sneaker/shoe with the comfort, support, and functionality of the Toachi.

Comments about Genea:
Despite foot problems--bunions, hammer toes, you name it—I love to walk. Finding a comfortable walking shoe was nearly impossible until I found Teva. These are the best walking shoes I have ever owned. I have enough room to accommodate my foot issues without having to buy wide width. It's just the way the shoe is made that makes this possible. Love, love, love these shoes. My Web site order was promptly filled and shipped...no hassle whatsoever. Suggestion: enclosed an extra pair of laces with order. Hard to find suitable replacements. (My dog chewed up my laces --- grrrr.)

Mac's dreams crushed
Nov 13, 2012 | 9 Comments
By Ben Schorzman
For the News-Register
The Grizzlies had just lost 3-0 in the 6A state quarterfinals vs. Lincoln. The conversation was muted while it sunk it that Mac was done for the season.
On the other 40-yard line, Lincoln players and coaches gathered. The mood was light and jovial.
The two teams stood 20 yards apart, but they were worlds away.
"It stings, it hurts. Kids are hurting right now," Autencio said, "but if it didn't hurt, they're not competitors."
The Grizzlies (13-3-1) were silenced Saturday by a team doing exactly what Autencio predicted last week it would take to stop them. Lincoln was skilled both athletically and soccer wise and used a pestering defense to take Mac out of its game.
"Our team has made a commitment with our defense," Lincoln coach Billy Merck said. "That's been the case all year. We knew the success would come if we defended well.
"It's frightening the ability (the Grizzlies) have. They're goal scorers."
The Cardinals (11-1-4) frustrated Mac the entire match, stopping breaks before they got too close to their goal. Mac usually cut through opponent's defenses with precision passing, but Saturday the Cardinals got feet on passes and poked them away, stalling drives.
"Probably one of the best defensive teams we've faced all year," Autencio said. "Defensively they were tough. They were good. We would go on runs, and then we would make a pass, and they covered really well."
The Cardinals struck first with 26:57 left in the first half. Mac goalie Miguel Perez-Flores made a great diving stop on a hard-struck ball from the top of the box, but Cole Peters was there to gather the rebound and kick it past the sprawled out Perez-Flores.
"Getting that first goal was huge because they had to adjust," Merck said.
Mac had a few chances in the first half to equalize. Nicholas Autencio had a great shot with 12 minutes left in the half. Moises Diaz finally snuck a pass through the smothering defense to a streaking Autencio. Autencio went across the box from left to right and had set up Lincoln's goalie, but he kicked too much of the turf on the shot, and the ball slowly rolled into the waiting arms of the goalie.
"We had two or three scoring opportunities early in the game," the elder Autencio said. "If we capitalize, it's a different game.
"Getting down didn't help us much. After they got up, they started packing the back more, which made it even tougher for us."
Just after the start of the second half, Lincoln was awarded a corner kick, and a perfect pass found the head of Ian King, who put it past Perez-Flores.
"It was our day today," Merck said. "We executed where we needed to."
The goal forced the Grizzlies to extend their offense even further, and Autencio moved a defensive player up with 25 minutes left in the match. He said players started getting away from what had got them this far.
"We started pounding the ball in and trying to loop over the top," he said, "and we got away from what has worked all season for us, and that's passing."
The final blow came with 25:32 left in the match when Peters beat Perez-Flores to a ball in the box and was able to kick it over his head into the goal, giving Lincoln a 3-0 lead. The Grizzlies tried to find the cracks in the defense, but nothing came, and they were shut out for just the second time this season.
After the final countdown, which was vocalized by a large contingent of Lincoln fans, Mac players fell to the turf and sat there, unflinching in the cold air. Autencio said they would eventually get over the stinging loss and realize how much they accomplished this season. He said he surely has.
"I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out," he said, "and how much effort they gave us."

Kids that remain will benefit from a decrease in class size.
The coach that Hinthorn fired may have been persuasive in writing emails to the parents and players but was not connected to the kids, which was impossible to do when he only had two drop in sessions. Chuck Bechtol had a very influential hand in helping coaching the team this year - so there was no real change with tactics/skills taught. The coach who was fired would not have been able to get the most out of this group of kids as well as Autencio and Bechtol did. So unless you have real knowledge of the situation it is best to keep quiet.
The graduating group from last year had an all-state goal keeper, all-state midfielder, and a great back line and outside mid that all moved on. Also lost in the fact that a very good forward did not play this year.
This years group over achieved anything that was thought of them. To win league again and make it as far as they did was great and the memories that they and I as a parent will have are tremendous. Maybe instead of throwing rocks on here you should commend an individual that stepped up when the other one flaked.
This group along with the football team have shown us all that over coming adversity is within us all.
By the way, I transferred my son to Jesuit, where this past Saturday won it all. Like the ex-coach that was fired from Mac high, they have a good coach and what no one knew, had a lot of ties with colleges and professional soccer team contacts to open the doors for the good players.
Time to move on, turn the page and move forward. Mac high, you simply lose all the way around…
If I am understanding your posts correctly, this isn't about the strength of the McMinnville Soocer program, but it's your disappointment with the AD. Ask any other high school AD what they would have done in this same situation. 9 times out of 10 they would have made the same decision. This coach that was fired was fired because his lack of communication to parents, to kids and to the school. I know this first hand because I am a mother to one of the players. Never once did I recieve a phone call nor an email or a text from this coach. My son attended two drop in practices (I am not sure where your son was dropping in because it wasn't with the Mac team) that were poorly run and was told to communicate to other players when the next drop in was. How is that being a great communicator by a coach? What this fired coach lacked was the experience of being a head coach and the responsibilities that come with that position. So I don't agree that he would have taken this team to a championship. This team re-grouped quickly and within the first week bonded with the coach that stepped up. He also has been a part of their soccer upbringing by coaching half of the team as youngsters. Please take your anger someplace else. We are proud of what our boys accomplished and we stuck it out during a rough time. Unlike you who packed up your son and left. What does that teach? Running away from adversity is the answer? Where was your committment to excellence? In another town? It is unfortunate that this whole situation took place. What is fortunate is this community took hold of a difficult time and embraced the players with a small town support system.Our soccer program is strong and it shows in our 4 straight League Titles.
