Bridgewater-Raritan's Steven Cleary (left) moves in on Randolph's Liam Finneran.
- Filed Under
The sheer dominance Randolph has displayed over the past decade was no secret to the Bridgewater-Raritan High School ice hockey team heading into Saturday's NJSIAA Public A final at the Prudential Center. And after spending three periods on the ice with the Rams, the Panthers got a first-hand look at why Randolph has now won seven state titles since 2004.
The second-seeded Rams made good use of their superior quickness and a deep roster, building a three-goal lead before the fourth-seeded Panthers could locate the net, and Randolph finished with a 4-1 victory and its third straight crown.

Mary Jane Rott's bedroom at her family's home in Stillwater is overflowing with more than 400 trophies.
The best club-level gymnast in Minnesota sleeps among a collection of leotards, ribbons and medals in every color and size.
Mary Jane's parents, Dianna and Ken Rott, have a trophy of their own. It is an old adoption brochure, stained yellow with time. It describes a family of six Filipino children whose mother gave them up to the world.
"We know that it will take a miracle to find a family for this group," the paper reads. "But we have seen it happen before and are expecting that they will eventually be placed!"
Dianna and Ken Rott were the "miracle" Mary Jane -- then 28 months old -- and her five siblings needed in April 1997.
"I said I would never adopt," Dianna said.
For 15 years, she and Ken had been unable to have a child, and Ken's mother, Ruby Rott, had been nagging them to consider adoption. Dianna refused to budge until a fateful meal in August 1995.
"When we went to dinner with Ruby, she brought up the subject of adoption," Dianna said. "I just rolled my eyes. She gave Ken this copy of a newsletter. He looked at it, then tossed it across the table at me and said, 'I think we should do this.' "
Dianna was still skeptical, but something strange happened that night.
She and Ken were both convinced the other wanted to adopt a single baby and were afraid to mention the group of six Filipino children. Ken nervously asked Dianna what she thought of the brochure.
"You don't want to know," Dianna said.
"Was it the group of six?" Ken asked.
The two broke down crying when they realized they wanted the same thing.
"We had the same tug at our hearts when we saw these guys," Ken said.
More than 16 years later, Mary Jane -- now 5 feet tall with a shy smile -- is the last of the six children to leave the Rott (pronounced "Wrote") nest. Four brothers and one sister preceded her: Herman (31 years old), Maricel (29), Marlon (26), Elmar (24) and Renante (22).
Mary Jane, 18, is headed to Auburn University in Alabama on a full athletic scholarship after an impressive club gymnastics career.
The thanks go to grandma Ruby, again. She was the one who encouraged Mary Jane to give gymnastics a try in second grade, despite the fact that none of Mary Jane's siblings ever had tried the sport.
Ruby paid for lessons and took care of the transportation as Dianna and Ken kept tabs on their other children.
"She really was just a natural gymnast," Ruby said. "She would hop up on her grandpa's shoulders and just do it so naturally and giftedly."
Mary Jane advanced so quickly, in fact, that she reached Level 10 -- the highest level of club competition -- by seventh grade.
That year, she competed in a national meet that featured future 2012 Olympians Gabby Douglas, Kyla Ross, McKayla Maroney and Aly Raisman. Mary Jane actually placed ahead of Maroney, a gold and silver medalist in London last summer who was known for her "not impressed" look on the Olympics award podium, and the Rotts soon had a big family decision to make.
Select gymnasts in their preteen and early teenage years get invited to train at the "elite" level. Mary Jane was given that opportunity, but it wouldn't be easy: Costs would double, training hours would skyrocket and the Rotts would need to move near Des Moines, Iowa, the closest certified training center.
"We were clueless," Dianna said.
Dianna and Ken decided against the "elite" program, and the possibility of Mary Jane competing in the Olympics evaporated. Instead, she spent five more years training at Rising Stars in Oakdale and completed her pre-college career with a Junior Olympic national championship on the balance beam in May.
And, although she probably won't ever be an Olympian, Mary Jane got the next-best thing last November when she signed her letter of intent to become a Division I gymnast at Auburn.
"We wanted to get some more power on our team," said Auburn coach Jeff Graba, a native of Forest Lake. "She fills that void immensely. Looking at the family background, the club background, her personality, how she's going to fit into the team ... we feel like we hit a home run."
The scholarship means everything to Ken. He has spent thousands of hours boosting Mary Jane's profile. The devoted father was there with a camera rolling for each of Mary Jane's meets. He cobbled together and sent to college coaches a highlight reel that shows his daughter performing complicated gymnastics maneuvers to the tunes of Katy Perry, Macklemore and the Alan Parsons Project.
Ken even started an official website -- MaryJaneRott.com -- that features season-by-season highlights, videos and a mini-biography.
"I call him the marketing genius," Mary Jane said of her father.
It's only fitting that Ken and Dianna will travel to Alabama with their daughter this fall. They will give Mary Jane her space -- Auburn athletes live in their own luxurious dormitory on campus -- but will be able make several trips south thanks to a 35-foot fifth-wheel trailer home Ken recently purchased.
And Mary Jane certainly will stay busy away from the gym. The aspiring sports psychology and sports medicine double major began summer classes last week and wants to return home after college to be a coach or a personal trainer.
For now, her dorm room is mostly empty. No trophies, medals or ribbons on the walls. Her collection remains in Stillwater.
The bare walls are another reminder that college is a new chapter, but Mary Jane is confident. She is no stranger to a fresh start.

November 25, 2015
A half dozen bridges in Brazos County are considered structurally deficient.
During Wednesday's Metropolitan Planning Organization meeting, Texas Department of Transportation officials presented a breakdown of bridge classifications and their criteria.
Members were informed of the six Brazos County bridges that are structurally deficient.
Harris Lane bridge at Mathis Creek is slated for replacement by the county.
Dilly Shaw Tap Road bridge at Cedar Creek was just added to the list and will undergo more evaluation.
Crews have been working on Wilcox Lane bridge at Wickson Creek and House Cemetary Road bridge at Rocky Creek and improvements are scheduled to be completed at the end of this month.
The bridge on Old Reliance Road at Bowman Creek is expected to have crews working on it within the coming weeks.
Lastly, design work on the bridge at Leonard Road at Thompson Creek is about to begin.
TxDot officials stress that even though the bridges have been classified as structurally deficient, all six bridges are safe according to federal standards.
The classification makes the bridges eligible for state funding.
The department's overall goal is to have at least 80 percent of all state bridges in good or better condition by the year 2011.

A Thought from Pastor Bryson,
Truly these are the times that try the souls of men. In Coloradoan individual goes on a shooting rampage at a theater while the movie "The Dark Knight Rises" is showing killing 12 individuals and wounding 58 others. Some are in critical condition.
Then not long ago, the owner of Chic Fil A restaurants has created quite a stir because he believes in the traditional view of marriage based on the teaching of scripture – between a man and a woman. Mayors of metropolitan cities have come out in opposition to his restaurants coming to their cities, those with opposing views are planning a "kiss-in" of homosexuals and lesbians at some Chic Fil A restaurants. Yes, these are the times that try the souls of men and that's just two incidents of all that is happening in our world today.
But we've been warned it would be like this, so we really ought not to be caught off guard and in a state of panic. Scripture plainly teaches us in II Timothy 3:1-5 terrible things will happen in the last days. What then are we to do?
First of all, we must keep our focus on Jesus Christ. Remember, in John 16:33 Jesus warned His disciples that tribulations would come, but we are to be encouraged because He has overcome the world. Hebrews 12:1-2 makes reference to the saints who have come before us. Taking into consideration that we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses we are to run our race with patience looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
Second, we must stay in constant prayer. This is a spiritual weapon that will strengthen us for whatever we have to endure. Remember, the effectual and fervent prayer a righteous man avails much (James 5:16).
Third, we must encourage each other. Hebrews 10:23-25 speaks of our knowing the Lord is coming back, but until He returns we must hold to our faith and encourage each other as we go through.
Fourth, we must dig in and not allow worldly and ungodly views to corrupt our faith based on the teaching of scripture. It will be challenging – II Timothy 3:12 says all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
Additionally, we must people of love, even toward those with opposing views. In exemplifying our Savior, we can't help but love. It is one of the hallmarks of our faith.
Yes, these are the times that try the souls of men, but remember we are not without help – Romans 8:35-39.

Katherine Jackson: Four Years Is Not Enough For Conrad MurrayFri, May 11, 2012 News, R&B NewsComments
In a preview from the forthcoming special, Jackson levies serious allegations against Dr. Conrad Murray and talks about life without Michael.
"You know what? I can't even describe the way I feel about him. He did a terrible thing. And it might have been others involved," Jackson tells Piers Morgan regarding Murray. "I don't know that. But I feel that. The only thing he did -- for a person's life, four years in jail is not enough."
Speaking of her son, Katherine Jackson claims she'll never get over his death.
"Never. Every morning, all through the day, I think about Michael. If I wake up through the night, my mind is there," says Jackson. "But -- I just miss him. But being a Christian and believing in the resurrection, I feel that I'll see him again."
Katherine Jackson appears on Piers Morgan Tonight Monday, May 14 (CNN).

Wait on second thought. Don't come here, you don't want to have to deal with this crap in the government.
Anyhoo before I get warned for being off-topic...
Let's see happiest memory... Well I guess I'll be the first person to be horribly cliche and say the day my girlfriend and I started going out was a very good day. The three days after it sucked horribly to balance things out but that day was awesome!! :)
LOL....okay!!! well going to pattaya is one of the things id add to my happy memories --'...on the way back home in the car I went loony and couldn't stop laughing XD and my mom's like *laugh* whats wrong *laugh* with her?!?!?! *the rest of the car cept my dad's asleep* so there's like no response =='...lmao...
Happiest memory #1= two years ago I went on a trip with friends to the south of Italy. Each time we used to eat somewhere we would ask for the typical wine (for lunch) and since we were sighseeing all day and walking, I'd be hungry and tired. So 1+1= I used to be drunk by noon and continue my sighseeing in Lala land.
Happiest moment#2 =When I finished my urban transportation exam for the univ. . It was an exam that I was afraid of for more than 3 years (it was an elective, to others it was the easiest, for me it was a nightmare) I passed with 70% but i was soooooo happy.
1. When I came home to the Philippines after doing my two year internship in the UK. Nothing better than the feeling you get when you come home for the first time in a long time.
2. The day I bought my Peavey EVH Wolfgang TR (Trans Blue).
My greatest memory, hmmm, Im a pothead, I cant remember shit. But I will always remember the day I saw my hero gambling in Las Vegas at Bally's casino, none other than Michael Jordan. I was I think 12 or 13. I was already wearing a Jordan jersey that day and I got the call from my friends mom telling us to hurry up and come to Bally's so we ran soooo fast to get there and their he was, wearing golf-like clothes and a cheap looking hat which was probably expensive, sitting in the high-roller section where cops are gaurding the entrance. It was pretty funny cause he was sitting next to a couple of short asians and he looked so much taller than everyone else
One birthday when i got Muppet Treasure Island on video (yeah im cool)
and then in Cornerhouse (a nightclub) drunk and two of my bestfriends who hadnt spoken to each other for a year made up.
I don't have any happy memories as an adult :blink. All of my happiness are stolen by the bill payments via various institutions. Give me back my happiness you ----------! :yelling
If I were a few years younger, I would say. Going to the amusement park or birthday parties, but alas I digress.
when I was a kid playing in my backyard and beautiful trees, beautiful white flowers were sprinkled with a little drizzle of rain and when the wind blows the petals fall on me and I would turn around and all I was telling a fairy.
It's not the happiest, but the first i remember.
In january i was on college break, so i get back in my parent's home.
One night i meet with 5 of my old HS friends(now we live in different city/states due to college) and we went out. That was a crazy night, we started bowling, but after that one of my friends and i picked up girls to dance(and we don't dance shit), my friend step on the girl foot and take of her shoe.,, lol
We talked about the old histories, almost everyone get drunk(i was the onluy one sober), one of my friends almost get in a drunk fight and we run screaming on the rain... at 3am.
That was so stupid, but at the same time it was so funny.
Umm.. Happiest moment was when I stepped (finally) into college. Complete freedom, yeah! Saddest moment was graduation because I finally had to work. :(
My happiest moment when ever i was with my family and it happens only once in a year. Mostly at new year.

Columbia Water & Light
There were some operational changes with the water system on Thursday morning that caused sediment to be stirred up at the West Ash Pumping Station reservoir. The sediment traveled into the water mains on the west side of Columbia. Water crews are flushing the water lines to remove the sediment. Once the main lines are flushed out this afternoon, customers should be able to flush the water lines in buildings by lettting the water run until it is clear. The water continues to be safe to drink.

If you or your family suffered a flight delay of at least three hours from 2005 onwards, you could claim compensation of up to £500 per person.
The departure board flickers into life. You gaze up hopefully, and your heart sinks. The dreaded words 'DELAYED' appear next to some flights. Your flight.
If your flight was delayed by three hours or more, you could claim up to £500 in compensation
Any traveller knows that flight delays can make for some truly miserable experiences.
But now, all the pain will be worth it. Thanks to the European Court of Justice, if your flight to or from Europe is delayed, you could be in the money.
Who can claim flight delay compensation?
To qualify for compensation, certain conditions have to be met. There are five main rules to be aware of:
1. The three hour rule
Your flight must have been cancelled or delayed by at least three hours in order to be eligible for compensation of up to £500 per person.
An important point to remember is that the 'three hour rule' only applies to the time you arrive - NOT the time you leave.
For example: your flight might take off three and a half hours late; but if it arrives at the destination only two and a half hours late (having made up time in the air) then you don't have a right to compensation through the EU scheme.
Remember you can claim compensation if you are re-routed on another flight but still arrive three or more hours late.
2. Compensation only applies to EU flights
To claim compensation, your flight must:
- Take off from an EU country, OR
- End in an EU country
But there is one exception to this: if your flight doesn't take off or land in an EU country, the other way you can claim compensation is if the airline itself is based in the EU.
If your airline is based in the EU, then even delayed flights outside the EU (but which are run by an EU airline) are eligible for compensation.
For example, the following flights would be eligible for compensation if they were delayed for three hours or more:
- A flight that took off from the UK and landed in the US (as the UK is in the EU)
- A flight that took off from Australia and landed in Spain (as Spain is in the EU)
- A British Airways flight that took off from Australia and landed in Canada (as despite not taking off or landing in the EU, the British Airways airline is based in the EU).
3. The amount of money you get depends on the distance flown
See below for the current rates of compensation (remember that rates are per person - so if you flew with your partner and one child, triple the sums below).
- Up to 1,500km (932 miles) flight length = €250 (£211) compensation
- 1,500km-3,500km (932 miles - 2,175 miles) flight length = €400 (£337) compensation
- 3,500km-plus (2,175 miles) flight length = €300 (£253) compensation
- 3,500km-plus (2,175 miles) flight length on flights that are delayed by over 4 hours = €600 (£506) compensation
Sterling compensation figures are based on exchange rate on 9th September 2013.
If you're not sure of the distance of your flight, there's a handy flight mileage calculator here.
4. You can only get compensation if the delay was the airline's fault
You can't claim compensation through the EU scheme if your flight was delayed due to 'extraordinary circumstances'. These are events that are judged to be beyond the airline's control.
This includes things like:
- Extreme weather
- Security risks
- Safety risks outside airline's control (e.g. volcanic ash clouds)
- Industrial action/Workers going on strike
5. The cut off point for claiming compensation is 2005
It's not just recent flights you can claim compensation for - you can claim for delayed flights going back as far as February 2005.
You can claim for delayed flights going back as far as February 2005
Unfortunately, if your delayed flight was over six years ago, it can be harder to get airlines to pay up - as they know that you can't threaten to take them to court if they refuse to pay. (Courts in England, Wales and Northern Ireland only consider these cases if they occurred in the last six years - while Scottish courts only consider cases in the last five years).
How do you claim compensation for your delayed flight?
First, get whatever evidence you have that you were on the flight you are claiming for (receipts, email confirmations, and the boarding pass if you have it).
If you don't have these things, you should still be able to claim if you have the flight reference number and the length of the delay (you can check the length of past flight delays on the Flight Stats website) as the airline will have flight and passenger logs.
The next step is to write to the airline, quoting the ruling "EC Regulation 261/2004".
Related articles
In your letter, make sure you state:
- That you are seeking compensation under "EC Regulation 261/2004"
- Your flight reference number, the date of the flight, and the departure and arrival airports
- The number of people you are claiming compensation for (list their full names in your letter)
- The number of hours your flight was delayed by, and the amount of compensation you are seeking (see rule number 3 above - then multiply that amount by the number of people in your party)
Include scans or photocopies of any tickets or receipts you may have (don't send off the originals).
If for any reason the airline tries to palm you off, you can pursue your claim by contacting the Civil Aviation Authority.
If the airline you flew on has since been taken over by another company, the new company almost always takes on the old company's liabilities - so write to that company instead.
And finally...

The Nebraska agricultural sector is looking at record setting profits for 2011.
A new report by the Nebraska Business Forecast Council predicts agricultural income to reach almost 5.5 billion dollars this year.
That's the most agricultural income Nebraska has ever seen.
Experts say the record farm income is the result of a good crop and livestock season and long-term changes in the ag production sector.
They also expect fairly broad job growth in other sectors, including manufacturing, transportation and the service industries.
But some sectors will continue to struggle, including construction, financial services and government employment.
Overall, however, they say the husker state is fairing better than the country as a whole.
Some economic forecasters say the national economy could still slip into another recession.
But they say it's more likely both the US and Nebraska economies will improve at a slow pace.
Experts predict Nebraska's total income growth will be strong in 2011, with moderate growth in 2012 and 2013.
Even better news, they say the record ag profits are most likely the new normal for farmers across the state.

Football Headline
GatorZone.com Senior Writer
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- This is one of the more peculiar season openers in recent Florida football history.
Some say the Gators can be really good, perhaps even make it to Atlanta as SEC East champions. Others predict that if Florida can add a win or two to its 7-6 record of a season ago, the Gators can call it a successful season.
The wide range of opinions on the No. 23-ranked Gators is attributable to various factors. The defense should be good with 10 starters returning. It could be really good if the young players who gained valuable experience last season continue to improve.
The offense is somewhat of a mystery. That is always going to be the case when the starting quarterback remains unknown the week of the season opener.
Here is what is certain: Florida opens the 2012 season today against Bowling Green. The Gators want to put on a much better show in front of their fans than the last time they played at The Swamp, a 21-7 loss to Florida State.
There is no better way to do that than with a convincing win over the Falcons of the Mid-American Conference.
"Its very important, receiver Frankie Hammond said. "Its the first game of the year. We want to go out and get things going. Weve been in camp going against each other for Lord knows how long. We want to go against an opponent and see, finally, all the hard work we put in pay off and finally get things going into the season."
Florida fans couldn't agree more.
As the Gators get ready to run out of the tunnel at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium for the first time this season, let's take a look at 10 things to keep an eye on in today's game:
Why waste any time. We all know we want to see how sophomore quarterbacks Jeff Driskel and Jacoby Brissett perform today.
Gators coach Will Muschamp's plan is to use one in the first quarter -- if the Gators are driving when the first quarter ends, expect that quarterback to remain in the game to finish the drive -- and one in the second quarter.
They will be re-evaluated at halftime and go from there. There is no way to know how they will do, but we do know they are much more prepared than a year ago when both were tossed into the fire as true freshmen.
The first-year offensive coordinator replaces Charlie Weis after six seasons at Boise State. Pease's pro-style offense is designed to keep defenses guessing right up to the snap with heavy use of shifts and motion. He calls it a lot of "mental gymnastics."
The Gators say the offense will definitely look different than a year ago. Florida fans hope they are right. Florida finished 105th nationally in total offense and finished with only 13 touchdown throws.
Pease's track record is impressive and he has SEC experience at Kentucky, which caught Muschamp's attention when the Gators beat Alabama for Pease's services in the offseason.
You get the sense that coaches and players feel Florida's defense can be special. The Gators return 10 starters and that includes injured defensive end/buck Ronald Powell, who is not expected to play until midseason due to a knee injury suffered in the spring game.
Still, while Powell will be missed, with players like Jon Bostic, Matt Elam, Dominique Easley and Sharrif Floyd back, Florida's talent on D is impressive.
Mix in true freshmen like Dante Fowler Jr., Jonathan Bullard and Antonio Morrison, and the defense is also much deeper.
Photo: Senior running back Mike Gillislee takes over as the No. 1 tailback.
The Gators' running game has a new look. Gone are speedsters Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps. Say hello to bigger and bruising backs like Mike Gillislee, Mack Brown and true freshman Matt Jones.
We are familiar with Gillislee as a backup the past three seasons, but the senior from DeLand opens the season as the featured tailback and based on reports from fall camp, he looks ready to carry the load.
Muschamp said on his radio show Thursday night to look for Gillislee to set new career highs in rushes (11) and yards (84) quickly. That could happen today.
Trey Burton and Omarius Hines are F-Backs in Pease's offense. They can line up at running back, fullback, receiver and tight end.
That offers a lot of challenges for defensive coordinators. Both are talented but had trouble finding a place to play in Weis' offense. That doesn't appear to be a problem with Pease calling the plays.
The Gators forced only 14 turnovers last season -- six fumbles and eight interceptions. They want to see that number increase significantly in the second season of defensive coordinator Dan Quinn's complex scheme.
Quinn and Muschamp emphasized a need for more turnovers all of fall camp, so now it's up to the Gators to go out and cause them. They had their chances last season but dropped more than 10 potential interceptions. They hope to catch them this season.
Florida special teams coach D.J. Durkin is one of the best in the business. The Gators regularly block punts and have big returns in the kickoff game. They also have senior kicker Caleb Sturgis, one of the best in the country.
Look for a big play here and there from guys like Solomon Patton (punt block), Andre Debose (kickoff returns) or maybe punt returner Marcus Roberson, who takes over that role to start the season.
As much as Florida is emphasizing a power running game, that won't happen unless the offensive line is doing its job.
Here's my first prediction of the season: Florida will be better up front in 2012. The unit had major depth issues a year ago, hence why the Gators added sixth-year senior Dan Wenger at the last minute and he ended up playing regularly.
New offensive line coach Tim Davis has veterans like Jon Halapio, Jon Harrison and Xavier Nixon back, as well as newcomers D.J. Humphries and Jessamen Dunker to provide depth.
Let's face it, the last time we saw the Gators in The Swamp it wasn't pretty. They held FSU to 95 yards of total offense and still never seemed to have a chance to win.
They walked off the field a deflated team and shortly afterward Muschamp challenged them by calling the Gators "soft." They ended the season on a high note with a win over Ohio State in the Gator Bowl. Not long after that strength-and-conditioning coordinator Jeff Dillman arrived to recharge them in the weight room.
It shows. The Gators do look like a bigger and tougher team. We finally get to see how that translates on the field.
The Gators have never faced Bowling Green. The Falcons have talent, most notably quarterback Matt Schilz and defensive tackle Chris Jones.
They also have a coach in Dave Clawson who is familiar with the SEC -- he was Phil Fulmer's offensive coordinator at Tennessee in 2008. But the Gators clearly have more talent and they also have a lot of motivation coming off last season.
Muschamp won't care if the Gators win 3-0 as long as they walk off the field with a W. Gator Nation hopes it's not that close. If Florida can play well and come away with some of their questions answered, it will be a good start for the Gators.
Bowling Green at Florida
Kickoff: Saturday, 3:30 p.m. (Ben Hill Griffin Stadium)
Records: Bowling Green 5-7 in 2011; Florida 7-6
TV: ESPN -- Mark Jones (play-by-play), Brock Huard (analyst), Jessica Mendoza (sideline)
Radio: Gator IMG Sports Network (click here for affiliates); GatorVision audio; XM 199
Game notes: Bowling Green notes; Florida notes
Bottom line: The Gators open Coach Will Muschamp's second season with a chance to extend their win streak in season openers to 23 in a row. With SEC road games at Texas A&M and Tennessee on tap the next two weeks, a victory over the Falcons would serve as a good launching pad.

Wild Geese fly in a V. The lead goose reduces the wind resistance; the others glide, almost effortlessly, in the currents she has created.
During a storm, the eagle waits perched on the edge of its nest for the wind to gain sufficient velocity. And then it spreads its wings wide and effortlessly glides into the winds of the storm.
* * *
Have you ever seen hawks or eagles soar, wings outstretched, rising without a single beat of their magnificent wings, soaring, soaring? They are soaring on thermal currents—masses of air that rise when the ground rapidly warms up.
Or they sometimes soar on obstruction currents, when wind currents are deflected by mountains, cliffs or tall buildings. The resulting updraft lifts them to high altitudes at which they glide.
* * *
The Wild Goose was an emblem of the Holy Spirit in Celtic tradition.
And the eagle, in Scripture, is a symbol both of God, and God's people.
Eagles rarely waste their energy flapping their enormous wings—they wait for, and then use thermal currents and obstruction currents to soar on the wings of the wind…
I have been reading about "the anointing," in R. T. Kendall's splendid book, "The Anointing."
He writes: "the anointing is when our gift functions easily. It comes with ease. It seems natural. No working it up is needed. If one has to work it up, one has probably gone outside one's anointing. If one goes outside one's anointing, the result is often fatigue, that is weariness or spiritual lethargy that has been described as 'dying inside.'"
* * *
I find that with my writing on my blog, and indeed all writing. God is speaking. Not God spoke, but God is speaking. He is by His nature continuously articulate, A. W. Tozer wrote. If I listen to what the Spirit is saying to me through the events of my life, record the mini-revelations or epiphanies given to me each day by the God who speaks continuously and is never silent, then blogging is quick, easy and delightful. And what's more, it often speaks to people.
It's when I wonder if I should be strategic—write guest posts for leading blogs, write on topics everyone else is, capture the zeitgeist– that blogging feels heavy, a chore, work rather than play. Why? Because the wind of the Spirit is not helping me soar; I have to expend scarce energy with a mighty, exhausting flapping of wings.
There is a lightness to God's work, an amused creativity—we get the impression He tossed off zebras, giraffes, toucans, morpho butterflies or orchids in a massive outburst of creativity. Perhaps God was at play as these beautiful things came into being, step by step through the mighty forces of evolution. His work was deep play.
* * *
In his book, Homo Ludens, or Man the Player, the Dutch historian and cultural theorist, Johan Huizinga, suggests that culture stems from man at play, man playing with words, or music or paint or the sketches of mighty cathedrals.
And when I record the whispers of the spirit, write in the updraft of the wild goose of the Holy Spirit, blogging is easy, light and delightful. I am playing in the fields of the Lord, thinking aloud, probably making all sorts of mistakes–but oh, it is all such fun!

Six things that are wrong with the iPhone App Store
The App Store is a great concept, and I've downloaded some classy applications for the iPhone already, but there are some fundamental flaws which stop it from being brilliant.
Here's my take on the six things that are wrong about the App Store in its present form. Whether they'll ever be "fixed" is another matter.
1. No trial / preview versions
There's no official way to trial a piece of software before paying for it
This isn't a problem for free applications, because all you lose by downloading something you don't like is a little time and bandwidth, but for paid-for applications it's an issue, and the more expensive something is, the bigger the monetary risk.
Of course, you take the same kind of risk if you buy a physical off-the-shelf copy of software for your PC, but the fact that the entry-level criteria for iPhone apps -- price for developers to participate in Apple's programme, and quality of applications developed -- is much lower means you're more likely to download a dud.
Some developers try to get around this "problem" by releasing a free "lite" version of their software, and a more feature-rich standard version that they charge for. However, not only does this rile a number of users (as can be seen from the reviews) but it still doesn't offer a direct trial of the software.
The only way to legitimately run applications from the App Store is via iTunes, so I don't believe it would be technically difficult to allow software to be downloaded for a trial period, then either wiped, disabled, or charged for. Each iPhone has a unique ID and each user has a unique iTunes account log in. Why not?
Perhaps both Apple and developers are worried that, by giving users free trials of software, it will become apparent that a lot of the software just isn't up to scratch. There's an easy solution to that... Developers should write better software, and Apple should raise the entry bar. More of that later.
2. User Reviews
"Reviews" are littered with veiled comments from developers, and from users who've never downloaded the software
The User Reviews section has the potential to be a useful resource, but it suffers from the curse of so many online forums -- it's full of trolls and manipulators.
First off, developers should not be allowed to review their own software. They get an entire column to describe their application, bugs, features, future updates, and so on.
Secondly, users who've never downloaded the software shouldn't be allowed to review it. I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to check whether a user has used the software (even briefly) before allowing them to comment.
Thirdly, although reviews are personal by nature, there should be some level of moderation to remove comments that rubbish application concepts rather than operation. For example, it's fine to say that an application contains some bugs, or is unresponsive, or could be improved by adding "x feature", but it's not OK to say "I hate Sudoku applications" or "no-one will find this application useful".
Fourthly, the review section is not the place for users to start having conversations / arguments with each other.
Apple manages to rule with a pretty heavy hand in the support forums on its own web site, and while I'm not generally a fan of heavy moderation, it should be employed here.
Perhaps a points system would help to encourage useful comments. What's clear is that the section needs to change.
3. Data stored with applications
Data is vulnerable to being lost or overwritten, and is difficult to retrieve by other applications
As far as I'm aware, all third-party software has to store user data within the structure of the application. In other words, because access to the underlying file system has been restricted by Apple, it's not possible to have a special user directory (as you do in the desktop version of Mac OS X) where data can be stored separately from the application.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that this has already led to data loss when applications are updated to a new version.
Additionally, it means that some applications which could be really useful are stunted because access to user data is difficult.
It would be great if Apple set up a special user directory on the iPhone where application developers could write data (in separate, protected subdirectories, of course) and which could be accessed, via iTunes, by the OS X and Windows operating systems.
Of course, syncing and the MobileMe services accomplish this to a point, but generally only on native applications such as Mail and Calendar.
I want direct access to all the pages I've written in my third-party note-taking app. Sure, it's nice to be able to email them, but that can become tedious.
Implemented properly, there should be no security risk in doing this. Each application would only be allowed access to its own directory, which could be size limited, and no executable code would be allowed to be stored (so no danger of someone trying to get a malicious piece of code from the iPhone onto a desktop PC).
How about it, Apple?
4. Apple exclusivity
Apple can easily zap any application which it thinks "competes" with one of its own
This is just one area where Apple's policies are inconsistent and irritating.
Two high-profile applications which have been rejected or removed from the App Store are Podcaster, which supposedly duplicated or competed with iTunes, and MaiLWrangler, which stepped on the Mail application's toes.
I would at least have a little respect for Apple's decision (after all, they can do what they like) if it was consistent, but the fact is that there are plenty of note-taking apps, calculators, weather widgets, and so on. Surely these also "compete" with native applications that do much the same thing?
I find it hard to see how any third-party application can really compete with Apple's own? After all, there's no way to wipe native applications, they can run in the background (so are arguably better for things like email), and they are the only apps that sync completely with the desktop and MobileMe.
What's the problem?
I would understand if an iTunes-wannabe app came along and tried to plop itself onto the iPhone, as Apple might argue it could take revenue away from its own music store, but apart from that, I really don't see the issue.
As with point five below, all it's doing is confusing and alienating developers. Surely Apple should be nurturing and encouraging those who are ultimately going to continue furnishing the App Store with new software?
5. Developer uncertainty
Developers can be knocked down at the last hurdle, after all the hard work has been done
Picture the scene. A developer pays to enter the official iPhone development programme, develops what he or she thinks is a kick-ass app for the iPhone, tests it, submits it to Apple... and it's rejected.
And it's often rejected with a rather vague reason.
As I've already bemoaned in point four above, Apple's policies seem inconsistent, and what's worse, developers don't seem to get much input from Apple during the application development process.
You would think that, when developers pay to get into the official programme, Apple would offer at least a basic level of liaison. This should benefit both sides. It means that developers get a clearer idea of what Apple is expecting, and it should reduce the amount of time Apple spends vetting submitted applications.
Apple is renowned for the silent treatment when it comes to rumours and lawsuits, but developers that are feeding a core part of the business need to be treated with a lot more respect, otherwise they'll go elsewhere.
6. Apple quality control
There's a lot of substandard stuff in the App Store, updates are slow
Perhaps Apple is trying to build quantity over quality to make the store look busy, but frankly there are a lot of very poor applications in the App Store.
Obviously, quality is a subjective thing, but there has to be a minimum bar for application content and substance.
When you see a dozen or more applications whose only function is to count down to a particular date, or dial a single number, or sound a couple of poorly sampled audio files, and they're being charged for, you have to wonder why Apple let them in.
I'm not saying that no-one would want an application that counts down to Thanksgiving (see point two on reviews), but instead of a developer creating twenty different apps with essentially the same function, why not create a bigger app with more options? OK, it could be argued that it adds complexity, but it also means fewer, but meatier, applications.
Unfortunately, having to trawl through pages of these applications means that the real jewels end up getting lost, and that's a real shame.
In addition, some of the existing apps show great potential, but have a few creases still to be ironed out. These are suffering because updates often take some time to get through Apple's vetting process. This leads to both user and developer frustration.
Quality has to be a more important factor than quantity if the App Store is to remain useful as it grows.
So those are my thoughts. What do you think? Is the App Store working for you? What needs to be improved? Share in the comments below

Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban hosted an impressive list of recruits in Tuscaloosa this weekend and came away with a commitment from one of the nation's top prospects in Brentwood (Tenn.) athlete Chris Jordan."I committed to Coach Saban today when I met with him before I left. I decided last night after talking to my parents for over an hour and a half at the hotel. I just knew Alabama was the place for me. Coach Cutcliffe at Tennessee and Coach Napier at Clemson did a great job of recruiting me and I want to thank them but Alabama was where my heart was at," Jordan said. "The thing about Alabama that makes it special is the close bond the players and coaches share. It's like one big family and Alabama is the only place I felt that. "The school is just a great place overall. I walked around the whole weekend and didn't wear my nametag but all the people were great to me. They knew who I was and that is a special feeling. It just felt like I belonged whether it be with the students, coaches or players." Jordan said Saban's reaction to his announcement was a pleasantly surprise. "In all the times I've been around Coach Saban, I've never seen him smile. But today when I told him he had a big smile on his face and that made me feel special. He was very excited and that made me excited," Jordan said. "After I committed he told me that I had made a great choice. We talked about the situation and he told me how he was going to rebuild Alabama football with players like me. That was flattering to hear." ...More...

Outside Shooting An Emphasis For Knoxville Girls Basketball Offseason
Posted By Sports On March 5, 2014 @ 6:00 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
One of the points of emphasis this offseason for the Knoxville Girls Basketball program is better outside shooting especially from the three point line. Coach Jim Utiermarkt tells KNIA/KRLS Sports that many of the Panthers' opponents packed in the lane and forced Knoxville to beat them from the outside, Utiermarkt adds he has players that can be very effective on the inside when given the chance. However…that has to come from the outside when the shots are going in. Knoxville finished the season with a 10-13 record.

Jake Bryant never saw the devastating hits that forced him to leave hockey at 16 after repeated concussions. Alexandra "Z" Karlis was speeding down the ice about to make a pass during a youth hockey league game when an opposing player blindsided her with an elbow to the head, resulting in her first concussion.
While Bryant likely won't play hockey again, Karlis, 17, plans on returning to the ice - but not before learning about the potential long-term impacts concussions like the one that sidelined her for three weeks have on the brain, including mood and cognitive disorders.

As the Federal Bureau of Investigation was about to move in, U.S. Army biodefense scientist Bruce Ivins committed suicide, thus possibly closing the chapter on the first—and so far only—fatal bioattack in U.S. history. The FBI alleges that Ivins, who worked at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) in Fort Detrick, Md., mailed anthrax-laden letters in September and October 2001 that killed five people. The incidents sparked a massive infusion of research funds to counter civilian bioterrorism, $41 billion spread over seven federal departments and agencies. Yet some observers argue that those funds have done little to guard against another bioterror incident, especially if the FBI is right about Ivins.
In an opinion that echoes those of several public health scientists, Keith Rhodes, the Government Accountability Office's chief technologist, told a congressional hearing in October 2007 that "we are at greater risk today" than before of an infectious disease epidemic because of the great increase in biolaboratories and the absence of oversight they receive. In the past six years, says Rutgers University microbiologist Richard Ebright, "the Bush administration has driven a 20- to 30-fold increase in the number of institutions and individuals with access to live, virulent bioweapons agents," to about 400 institutions and 15,000 people. Every one of them, he claims, "is a potential source of an attack like the 2001 attack." Even before the expansion, some 100 scientists had access to the anthrax strain Ivins managed. Moreover, huge growth "multiplies the chance of an accidental release," argues Hillel Cohen, an epidemiologist at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.
The hallmark of the stepped-up biodefense spending has been the construction of dozens of new biolabs. The several being built to investigate diseases that have no known cure are called biosafety level four (BSL-4) labs, the highest level possible, and they require researchers to wear space suits and breathe piped-in air. "It's definitely the case that when you have a rapid expansion of personnel, the mean experience drops dramatically, and the training level drops dramatically," Ebright remarks.
Whether the extent of this expansion was necessary is unclear. The National Institutes of Health never assessed exactly how much new BSL-4 space it needed, according to Gigi Kwik Gronvall, a senior associate at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's Center for Biosecurity. By April 2004 the NIH had announced it would build 20 times as much space as it already had, and the Departments of Defense, Agriculture and Homeland Security were planning huge labs of their own. The late John La Montagne, deputy director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the time, stated that until a needs assessment was completed, "whether we need six times more, 12 times more or 100 times more, I can't tell you."
Scientists, security experts and legislators are now pondering various ideas to prevent lab-based terrorism. Some suggest 24/7 video surveillance, and the army is considering a "buddy system" so that no researcher can enter unaccompanied. A bill in Congress, the Select Agent Program and Biosafety Improvement Act of 2008, would mandate that a needs assessment for bioterror labs and manpower finally be conducted; that training for the thousands of new bioterror researchers be funded; and that the Select Agent Rule, the law that sets strict security requirements on bioweapons agents so they will not be lost or stolen, be reviewed and strengthened.
One security proposal that stems directly from the Ivins case is psychological screening, something no federal laws now require. (USAMRIID demands it only if researchers admit they have attempted suicide in the past.) C. J. Peters, a virologist at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and a longtime USAMRIID researcher who knew Ivins, doubts the utility of such screening. "I don't think it would have picked up Bruce," he says. He describes Ivins as "kind of a weird guy" who came across to most colleagues as simply nerdy. In the years since the anthrax attacks, the addition of thousands of biolab workers has made separating quirky personalities from murderous ones that much harder.

Horse Massage
Horse massage is a therapeutic means of calming down a horse that is experiencing stress. Horse massage can help in relieving muscle pain and tensions of an overworked horse. People's expectations of their horses are sometimes beyond the stress tolerance threshold of horses. Muscle pains and psychological stress can affect the performance of horses. The mood swings and some illnesses can be prevented through horse massage. Regular horse massage therapies are best done by trained professionals but these can also be done by the horse owners.
The main principle of horse massage is holistic therapy. Psychological stress and body aches cannot be effectively addressed by simply focusing on the obvious injury or by focusing on one part of the body. Before conducting horse massage therapy, other probable causes of discomfort must first be considered. Are the hoof shoes okay? Are the teeth of the horse the cause of pain and stress? Is there any injury or illness?
The horse massage therapy is more of a preventive and pain relief therapy. Horse massage is effective in relaxing muscles, encouraging blood flow, stimulating the nerves and immune system and aiding the healing process. If you are searching for professional horse massage therapists, horse.com.au is the right place for you. Here at horse.com.au, you can easily find horse massage therapists by browsing our comprehensive directory listings.

Kovacevic: Penguins answer? Check, please
TribLIVE Sports Videos
UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Long, long time ago under a steel dome that's now a surface lot, the Penguins had this one hyper fan in B level who was a riot at times but never really put much thought into what he'd shout.
To wit …
John Barbero, the late PA announcer, used to welcome all groups in attendance and, this one night, issued "a special welcome to the New Jersey Devils Fan Club!"
The hyper fan leaped up, lost some of his beer and bellowed to no one in particular: "WHERE IS HE? I'LL KILL 'IM!"
Awesome, right?
Well, let's just say that most of the time, it was a lot less entertaining in that no matter the score, no matter the situation, the guy would stick to the same two words: "HIT SOMEBODY!"
Nothing else. Just that.
It's a statement that almost always lacks understanding of the game, lacks insight of any kind and ... um, hey, it's precisely what I think your current Penguins need to do in Game 4 Tuesday against the Islanders.
Find some blue and orange and knock it over.
You know, like Game 1.
"Absolutely," Douglas Murray was saying Monday in that deep tone that reminds you daily the man's nickname is "Crankshaft." "When you're playing the right way and getting pucks in deep and execute quickly, you've got your legs going the whole time. And it's easier to get physical. When you give a team like the Islanders a lot of room ..."
Yeah, we know. A mindboggling 145 attempted shots and eight goals over the past two games.
It's not nearly as easy to quantify physical play, of course. The NHL's official hit statistics vary more than any other from arena to arena, so the 36 hits with which the Penguins were credited in Game 1 don't differ much from the 28 and 33 in the next two.
But go with your eyes ...
Anyone remember John Tavares being knocked on his wallet after that happened a half-dozen times in Game 1?
Anyone remember the Islanders looking so fast in Game 1?
Not me. And it's no coincidence. The only icy sport where you look fast on your backside is the luge.
But, no matter what you hear from any hyper fan, it's not as simple as wearing a growl and going for blood. It first requires making smart decisions, a topic that seemed to consume the Penguins' attention at their optional practice Monday.
"We're planning on being physical for every game," said Tanner Glass, whose entire role is hitting and killing penalties. "It's just a matter of putting pucks in areas where we can be physical. Having a plan to be physical is fine, but unless you do things right ... there's no one to hit."
The Penguins aren't about to spill the playbook, so accept this as a condensed version of the thinking:
1. Take the play that's there.
2. Dump it in if it isn't.
3. No, really, dump it in if it isn't.
4. Do it with a purpose.
The latter is one Dan Bylsma long has stressed. There are designed dump-ins to specific spots in the attacking zone where the Penguins can reclaim the puck quickly. Or sometimes, it's just a quick chip behind the opposing defenseman to another forward already headed there.
"We want to put ourselves in position where we aren't just punting the puck away," Bylsma said. "That's very important. We do need to make some execution adjustments to our game. We do want to change possession of the puck more in our favor."
To some, that'll sound like the Penguins being reactive rather than proactive. It isn't. This has been their methodology all along. It's just that they occasionally abandon it for ... aw, who knows? Maybe they see every goal as a green light to go for more. Maybe it's that they see the Islanders flying up ice and take it as some manly challenge. Don't underestimate machismo in hockey as it relates to speed.
Whatever the reason, the Penguins need to knock it off.
And to hit.
It would be a great boon to the cause, of course, if Brooks Orpik returns. He looked very strong in practice Monday, so it's possible. Few appreciate No. 44 enough, but his plus-17 rating was the NHL's seventh-best among defensemen — even though he seldom scores — and his 119 hits ranked 11th.
"There are a lot of things Brooks Orpik adds," Bylsma said.
Others could join him. In addition to seeing Orpik bump Simon Despres — six minutes, minus-2 in Game 3 — I wouldn't be surprised to see Tyler Kennedy bump Beau Bennett. Kennedy's style is as simple and north-south as it gets.
No need to overthink things.

American car manufacturer Chrysler was founded by Walter Chrysler in the summer of 1925. Just a year earlier the motor enthusiast had created the world's first affordable car with 4-wheel hydraulic brakes and a 6-cylinder engine. However, the initial prototype for the pioneering vehicle was denied entry to the 1934 New York Auto Show so Chrysler ended up parking his design in the lobby at the exhibition venue to allow passing investors to see it.
The firm took off and innovations such as the Fluid drive - the precursor to automatic transmission - helped it to begin making a profit in the 1930s. The combination of the second world war and the death of Chrysler in 1942 meant that automobile production was halted to provide more resources to the war effort. Everything from aircraft engines, tanks and trailer-mounted anti aircraft guns were produced instead of regular vehicles designed for consumer use.
By the 1950s production was in full swing as advertising campaigns were launched and clever features like air-cooled brakes and power steering units became more popular. However, a couple of decades later the whole of the US car industry suffered a drop in sales due to a Middle-Eastern oil embargo - the launch of the Chrysler Cordoba suffered as a result. Fortunately this was a short lived problem and the firm soon regained its footing.
In the early 1990s Chrysler produced an electric vehicle called the Dodge EPIC concept minivan but it failed to capture the public's imagination. Although the second generation of this model was discontinued in 1999, the firm has continued to place a greater emphasis on greener electric and hybrid vehicles, producing three concept cars called the Dodge Zeo, Chrysler ecoVoyager and Jeep Renegade.
Today the Chrysler 200, Town & Country, PT Cruiser and Sebring convertible are in production, providing drivers with a seamless drive that combines both modern amenities with retro sensibilities.

Horrible day yaar
At this time vijay has released his movie and i saw it today and i guess you would have found the reason why i call it has horrible. I had one more blog approved today by ppp and i had 2 available oppurtunities which i can reserve. Since the day i started writing reviews i didn't have even a single oppurtunity to reserve, But my bad time when i was starting to kuruvi i got 2.
No other way for me except to quit reserving oppurtunity and shut down my machine. I lost 17$ because of that, and me and my family wated 60×6 rs for the ticket too and other charges like food, travel also extras.
Here i go tell about the movie. Why this film named Kuruvi?
*vijay can fly?
*he saves kuruvi's life at the climax?
*his name? no cos it was velu and nick name? how come i relate velu and kuruvi?
I think the reason is first among the three. Beleive me, no graphics nothing, he is flying throughout the movie right from his intro scene. He is a racer in this movie and has a car which he accelerate it via a wire with his mouth. Hey listen, not even vijay fly in this movie but also his car. WOW, mindblowing.
Then he goes to malaysia and plays football with "fire extinguisher" and hits a goal with few meters away. He also fights with 50 people just like in wrestlemania and wins the tag championship. What a power he has got. In another chasing sequence 10 people chasing him shotting with gun and hero starts flying escaping each of the bullets and jumps from LIC building to central station, i'm sorry he flies. (Before jumping he sees a eagle flying and prays, i doubted whether the movie name is kazhugu or kuruvi)
Previosly he jumped from 10th floor to ground floor and trisha gets impresssed and again to impress more he catches trisha in one hand and a rope in another hand and jumps from top of twin tower of malaysia. Thankgod, PM of malasia knows vijay would jump from top floor so he kept a rope over there.
WOW, playing throwball with human's and bounces them back after hitting them on running train. More nail biting situation are there to say. a serious fight scence will start after a running sequence, suddenly hero will fight and escape and heroin will see hero and what next? Song, yes. Come's in between something for nothing.
Truly speaking you can admire his dance throughout. Doesn't matter the songs comes for no reason but its worth watching his dance.
Kuruvi, sorry they could have kept the name as "coconut", anyways both has no relation with movie. Just watch vijay dance in this movie and his comedy. Oh, he missed double century, of what? Killing pepole. He missed it by one. I expect in his next movie he would reach double century.
Thanks for devi theater to displaying this movie for next ten years. Lovers enjoy.

Billy Burke, Stockbridge: The seniors name is never called across the PA system on Friday nights, but his contribution to the Tigers are so important. As an offensive lineman he rarely gets noticed until a penalty occurs or missed blocking assignment happens. Burke (6-3, 265) can play all three positions on the offensive line. He is the starting center, and has graded out at 80 percent on the season. Tigers coach Kevin Whitley calls him very versatile and smart as he makes most of the calls on the line. This is Burkes first year as a full-time starter.Deshunta Burton, Lovejoy: He might be the forgotten person in a talented secondary for the Wildcats. However, teams quickly learned that he is equally as talented at covering receivers as teammates Rico McWilliams and Jermaine Hough. Many teams decided not to test McWilliams, a South Carolina commitment, while throwing to Burtons side. Burton held his own and has not given up a touchdown this season to an opposing receiver. The Jacksonville State commitment has had success in the Wildcats man coverage defensive package. Terry Harper, Lovejoy: The senior defensive tackle is not going to impress you with his size of 5-feet-10, 215 pounds. But opposing offensive linemen would make a big mistake by underestimating his ability. He is the teams second leading tackler. He missed-most of last season with a broken leg. Upon returning this season, he was moved from his natural position of linebacker to defensive tackle as the Wildcats wanted to get their best 11 players on the field on defense, according to defensive coordinator Kevin Jones. Harper has gotten some interest from several colleges. Jones says that Harper is a hard worker who has sacrificed a lot for the success of the team. Quran Fite, Henry County: On a team with Chris Moody and Dalvin Tomlinson, Fite is the cornerback whos easy to overlook, and many of the Warhawks opponents have done so to their detriment. Hes not that big, but he makes up for it with football smarts and a lot of heart. Hes a film junkie, said Mike Rozier, Henry Countys coach. A lot of teams think they can pick on him because hes only 5-8 and 155 or 160 pounds. And thats when Fite plays big, because his rivals.com profile lists him at 5-4, 148. But Fite uses teams underestimations against them. He leads the Warhawks with eight interceptions and has returned two kickoffs for touchdowns. Rozier doesnt want to think of where the Warhawks might be without him. We have other kids who fit that role, he said. But wed be in trouble. Dalton Etheridge, Eagles Landing Christian: He was out injured for much of the season with a broken bone near the shoulder, but when Keyante Green went down with a groin injury, it gave Etheridge a chance to step up. After quarterbacking the junior varsity for a couple of games, Etheridge made the leap to the varsity and immediately gave the Chargers a viable running option when John Tatum needs a rest. Hes already an exceptional player and hes going to be a more exceptional player, ELCA offensive coordinator Jason Carrera said. Tyler McCammon, Eagles Landing Christian: Some of the most unsung work in the trenches is performed by McCammon. When you see Justin Thomason, Isaac Rochell or one of the Shockleys (Gus and Josh) making big plays for the Chargers, its often because McCammon has completed his assignment successfully in ELCAs responsibility-oriented defense. Like Etheridge, Greens injury has given him chances to shine on defense, even though hes not big by lineman standards. ELCA coaches use words like unselfish, hard-working and maximum effort when describing what he has brought to the Chargers.
