New area code coming
Residents and businesses prepare for change

Staff Report

TDSnews@civitasmedia.com

ATHENS — Residential and business
customers within the existing 740 area
code should be prepared for the introduction of the new 220 area code.
Frontier Communications announced
today that beginning March 21, 2015,
customers in the 740 area code region
requesting new service, an additional
line, or, in some cases, moving their service may be assigned a number in the
new 220 area code. The Public Utilities
Commission of Ohio (PUCO) ordered
an Area Code Overlay for the area

served by 740.
To ensure a continuing supply of
telephone numbers, the new 220 area
code will be added to the 740 area code
region, which generally covers the southeastern portion of Ohio serving communities such as Athens, Cambridge,
Delaware, Jackson, Lancaster, Marion,
Newark, Marietta, Portsmouth and
Zanesville. The new 220 area code will
be “overlaid” or superimposed over the
same geographical area as the 740 area
code.
Effective March 21, 2015, 10 or
11-digit dialing — the appropriate area

code plus the seven-digit telephone number or 1 plus area code plus telephone
number — will be necessary for local
and expanded local calls to be completed. Local calling areas and rates will not
be affected by this change. Special services that use three-digit numbers, such
as 911 and 411, as well as 1 plus 10-digit
long distance remain unchanged.
If other three-digit numbers are currently available in your community or
from your provider, such as 211, 311,
511, 611, 711 or 811, these will remain
unchanged.
Beginning Sept. 20, callers may dial
using seven, 10 or 11 digits to complete calls. Frontier officials encourages

callers to start using 10- or 11-digit
dialing early so it will be second nature
by the time it is required March 21.
The most important facts that consumers and businesses need to know
about the upcoming 220 area code
overlay are that your number, include
area code, will not change, you will
need to dial the area code plus the
telephone number for all local calls,
you will continue to dial 1+ area code +
telephone number for all long-distance
calls, what is a local call now will
remain a local call, the price of a call,
coverage area or other rates and services
will not change because of the overlay,

Wes and June Herrick said that people have told them the potato looks like Scooby-Doo, a
camel, a pig and a cow.

A starch with stark features
By Lindsay Kriz

lkriz@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — As Wes Herrick,
92, pulled his volunteer Kennebec Potato plant from his garden,
he noticed something odd about
one particular specimen.
It looked just like an animal.
“Some said a cow, some said a
camel and some said a pig,” he
said.
Initially, Wes and his wife,
June, weren’t sure what to do
with the odd vegetable, but
decided to share it with others.
“We brought it to church and
everybody was amazed,” June
said.
The story of the potato plant
itself is almost as amazing.
According to Wes, the original
plant that produced the potato
was planted two years ago, and
the plant has produced potatoes
the past two years.
As a joke, the couple put eyes
on the potato to show how much
it looks like an animal. June
claims the potato looks like a pig,

Wes said he’s had the googly eyes forever,
and decided they would look great on his
strange potato.

while Wes claims it looks like a
cow.
They may cook and eat the
potato soon, but are otherwise
not sure what they plan to do
with it.

Ohio adds 2 charter schools to misconduct inquiry
ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The
state department of education has expanded its review
of an embattled charter
school chain to include two
additional cities amid additional complaints, a spokesman said Tuesday.
The Ohio Department of
Education was already investigating a Dayton-area Horizon Academy after teachers
there shared accounts in July
of sex games, test tampering
and other potentially criminal misdeeds.
Spokesman John Charlton
told The Associated Press
on Tuesday that the state
received additional complaints about Columbus and
Cincinnati schools run by
the same operator, Chicagobased Concept Schools, after
that meeting. One of the

launch of such a probe, such
as in cases involving testtampering.
News of the expanded
review came as an estimated
400 supporters of Horizon
and Noble academies were
in Columbus to rally at the
Statehouse and deliver public
testimony at the state school
board’s monthly meeting.
Blue Ribbon Friends, the
coalition of parents, teachers
and other supporters of the
academies, said as many as
15 people were requesting to
testify. It also planned a news
conference during which the
schools’ backers could share
their positive experiences
at what the note are some
award-winning schools.
Matt Dole, a spokesman for
the group, said he suspects
the expanded investigation is
resulting from political pressure.

complaints was unsolicited
and the other stemmed from
a department request that
any issues at the schools be
brought to the state’s attention, he said.
The company did not
immediately respond to an
email seeking comment.
Charlton said the complaints have been referred
to the appropriate regional
offices for further review.
“What we did with those
complaints or allegations was
we matched them up with
the appropriate office at the
Department of Education,
where they’ve contacted
teachers and others for more
specific information,” he
said.
Charlton said those referrals would not be described
as part of a formal investigation. He said the department
cannot always divulge the

“We understand that it’s
an election year and that the
Board of Education is under
a lot of pressure from groups
like the teachers’ unions to
investigate these schools,”
he said. “Our take is that
they feel like they can use
Horizon and Noble academies as an example to try
to get their foot in the door
and stop school choice in
Ohio, and that’s what they’re
doing.”
The FBI is investigating
charter schools in several
states, including several Concept Schools in Ohio, which
critics allege are associated
with the influential U.S.based Muslim cleric and
Turkish scholar Fethullah
Gulen. Among allegations are
sexual misconduct, test tampering and misuse of public
funds. Gulen lives a reclusive
life in Pennsylvania.

Concept Schools, which
operates 17 public charter
schools in Dayton, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati,
Toledo, Lorain, Springfield
and Youngstown under the
names Horizon Academy
and Noble Academy, claims
it has no affiliation with
Gulen and his religious and
social movement, often
called Hizmet.
Dole said the chain is
cooperating with both state
and federal investigators.
He said a Cleveland school
has also been questioned.
“We’ve cooperated with
investigations so far; we’ll
continue to cooperate,”
he said. “It’s important to

THEIR view

Don’t turn
safety over to
government
The U.S. Forest Service was thoroughly
mocked for a recent exhaustive article on the eve
of National Roasted Marshmallow Day (Aug. 30),
instructing Americans how to successfully toast a
marshmallow without injuring themselves.
The USFS also suggested replacing the chocolate with fruit and the graham cracker with angel
food cake, in the name of nutrition.
Why stop there? Why not replace the marshmallow with a brussel sprout, and the fire with a
TV set? It would be safer, healthier … and absolutely ghastly. The truth is, safer is not always
better.
The article author’s intentions were good, and
the tips are recommendations, not codified into
law — at least, not yet — but this is indicative
of the troublesome trend of making health and
safety paramount over everything, including both
freedom and enjoyment.
Take, for example, motorcycle helmet laws.
Yes, it is very dangerous to ride a motorcycle
without a helmet. But do riders’ heads belong to
the state? Shouldn’t riders be able to decide for
themselves?
The fundamental argument for helmet laws is
that the state pays some medical costs for riders’
injuries and, therefore, has an interest in keeping
riders safe, but that rationale is an endless path.
As taxpayers shoulder more and more health care
costs, the state can claim that every decision that
impacts health falls within their jurisdiction.
America is fatter than ever, so we are seeing
attempts to tax, ban or regulate soda. Can candy
and snack foods be far behind?
And guns? If it weren’t for that pesky Constitution, firearms would have been banned long ago.
Parents in several states recently have been
arrested and forced to fight for custody of their
children, just for allowing their kids to walk to
the neighborhood park to play.
Sometimes, a safety concern doesn’t even have
to be proven; governments are rushing to regulate or ban e-cigarettes in spite of the fact that we
do not yet even know whether they are a health
danger or benefit to smokers.
Anything we are afraid of gives lawmakers
the chance to grab a little more power, a little
more money, impose another regulation, or look
like defenders of the public good while picking
economic winners and losers — and, therefore,
campaign contributions — from the industries
they target.
However, ceding control of our lives to the
state is just about the least-safe thing we could
ever do.
How many times at work have you heard,
“Safety is our first priority”? Don’t believe it. If
you work at a toy factory, the first priority actually is making toys. If safety was really more
important, they would close up shop and fire you
so you could go sit safely at home.
The world is an unsafe place. Empowering
the state with the endless and futile task of protecting us from all possible harm is a recipe for
unlimited government and total surrender of
personal freedom. As a society we must not succumb to the impulse to surrender so much of our
personal responsibility for daily safety that we
end up giving away our freedom out of fear.
In America, safety is not our first priority.
Freedom is.

So much for so-called ‘army intelligence’

By Daris Howard

It was the time of the
Korean War, and Carl
knew that if he didn’t sign
up for the military, he
would be drafted.
If he signed up, he
would have two advantages. First, he would
have a say in what branch
of the military he went in
to, and second, he could
become an officer. He
chose the army.
Of course, he had to
go through basic training. There he began to
wonder about the phrase
“Army intelligence.” It
seemed to him like those
two words were contradictory, feeling that it
was him they were trying
to kill. But finally, basic
was over, and he was stationed in Maryland near
where a lot of the army
brass lived.
A friend of Carl’s told
him of an opening leading the army band. Carl
was a talented musician.
In high school he played
in almost every kind of
band there was: dance
bands, blues bands and
jazz bands. But even
more than musical talent,
he was a born showman.
The job was perfect for

him, and after auditions,
those in charge agreed.
Most of the performances for his band were
as the background music
at parties for the army
brass. The band would
play quietly while people
visited, ate dinner or
whatever. But one day his
commanding officer came
to him.
“Lieutenant Atwater, I
am assigning you to play
at a party for which I am
responsible. Many army
generals and their wives
will be there, along with
senators, congressmen
and others. Basically,
anyone who is anyone
having anything to do
with the army will come,
and everything has to be
perfect. Your band has to
play to perfection.”
“Yes, Sir,” Carl said. “I
understand.”
“Not only that,” the
commanding officer
said, “it will be a long
party, and I don’t want
you repeating music. You
must have a full repertoire. Do a good job, and
there could possibly be
an advancement coming
your way.”
Carl was excited. “Yes,
Sir!”
The night of the party

his commanding officer
asked about the music,
Carl explained that they
had played all of the
upbeat songs in their repertoire except for one.
“Then play it,” his commander said.
“But, Sir, it’s …”
His commander didn’t
even let him finish. “I
don’t care if it is the
North Korean national
anthem. Play it before
everyone falls asleep.”
Carl, who was a bit of
a prankster anyway, went
back and did as he was
told. His band played
something that would hit
the army officers even
more than the North
Korean national anthem,
and was far more recognizable. They played
Anchors Away, the Navy
theme song. He had to
admit that all of the army
officers did suddenly
come to life. He had
barely finished when the
speaker boomed out just
as he had expected.
“Lieutenant Atwater,
meet me at the oak tree.”
He never did get the
advancement.

went along as usual.
There were a few long,
boring speeches, the
regular dinner, and, of
course, a bit too much
alcohol. The party was
really dragging when
Carl’s commanding officer’s voice came over the
intercom.
“Lieutenant Atwater,
please meet me at the oak
tree.”
Carl obeyed. His commanding officer was
pacing there when he
arrived. “Lieutenant,”
he said, “play some livelier music. The party is
dying.”
Carl went back to his
band, and they started
playing what lively music
they had. Briefly the
party picked up, but due
to fact that the band
mostly played quiet dinner parties, they had
soon played most of the
upbeat songs they knew.
Since he had orders not
to repeat anything, they
were forced to go back to
slower music. Once more,
the party began to drag.
Again came his commander’s voice over the
intercom. “Lieutenant
Atwater, please meet me
at the oak tree.”
Again he obeyed. When

In 1978, after meeting

Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat signed a framework for a peace treaty.
In 1984, Progressive

In 2011, a demonstration calling itself Occupy
Wall Street began in New

protests around the U.S.
and the world.
Ten years ago:

President Vladimir Putin
said Russia was “seriously preparing” for preemptive strikes against
terrorists, as Chechen
warlord Shamil Basayev
took responsibility for
a school hostage-taking
and other attacks that
had claimed more than
430 lives. San Francisco’s
Barry Bonds hit the
700th home run of his
career, joining Babe Ruth
(714) and Hank Aaron
(755) as the only players
to reach the milestone
(San Francisco beat San
Diego, 4-1).
Five years ago:
President Barack Obama
abruptly canceled a longplanned missile shield for
Eastern Europe, replacing a Bush-era project
that was bitterly opposed
by Russia with a plan he
contended would better
defend against a growing
threat of Iranian missiles.

bring “risks, uncertainties and
costs.”
“With just 48 hours to go,
they can’t even tell us what
currency we’ll be using,” Alexander told No supporters in
Edinburgh’s financial district.
The pro-independence Scottish government says Scotland
will continue to use the pound
sterling, but the British government insists it won’t agree to a
currency union.
The Yes campaign says the
promises of new powers are
vague and reveal the No side’s
desperation.
“This last-minute desperate
offer of nothing is not going
to dissuade people in Scotland
from the huge opportunity of
taking Scotland’s future into
Scotland’s hands this coming
Thursday,” First Minister Alex
Salmond told the BBC.
Salmond has stressed that
after a Yes vote, many things
will not change, from the currency to the monarch, Queen
Elizabeth II.
No campaigners have used
increasingly stark language to

claim a Yes vote would be irreversible.
On Tuesday Former Prime
Minister Gordon Brown — a
Scot who commands considerable popular affection in the
country — said voting for independence would end “every
single last remaining link that
exists, the connections we
have, with our friends, neighbors and relatives” in the rest
of the U.K.
“This cannot be a trial
separation,” Brown told an
audience in western Scotland.
“This is bound to be a messy
and expensive and costly and
difficult divorce.”
But Deputy First Minister
Nicola Sturgeon said Scotland
would “continue to be part of
the family of nations that make
up the British Isles.”
“Those ties are not about
politics, those ties are about
people,” she said.
Polls suggest the outcome
will be close, and several hundred thousand voters who have
yet to make up their minds
could determine whether Scot-

land leaves its 307-year-old
union with England.
For some voters, concerns
about economic insecurity and
job losses are a powerful reason to reject independence.
Property developer Alex
Watts said international investors were putting Scottish
projects and purchases on hold
because of the uncertainty
around the vote.
“What the property industry
needs in Scotland is more certainty and stability,” he said.
“Why should we take the risk?
Scotland is not the only place
to invest in.”
Others, though, say the negative campaign of politicians on
the No side has driven them
into the Yes camp.
“Rather than putting their
own case for why we should
stay together they’re trying to
scare us into not separating,”
said Mike Smith, who sells
leather goods from a stall along
Edinburgh’s Royal Mile.
“If that’s what they’re doing

“What it suggests is that
even though the obesity
rate may be stable, fat distribution may be changing,
which would mean that
we shouldn’t be complacent about the plateau,”
said Dietz, who was not
involved in the study.
Dr. Earl Ford, a CDC
researcher and the study’s
lead author, said the seemingly contradictory trends
are puzzling. He said it
could be that Americans
are exercising less and getting flabby. But because fat
weighs less than muscle,
they are not necessarily
getting heavier.
The study cites other
possible reasons for the
increase in belly fat, including sleep deprivation
and certain medicines.
Also, researchers said the

increase might be related
to pesticides, the plastics
additive BPA and other
chemicals that mimic
hormones that can affect
weight. But the connection is speculative and
unproven.
Belly fat not only makes
people look apple-shaped
but often means fat has
built up deep inside the
body, around the liver and
other abdominal organs.
Compared with fat that

hormones and higher levels

linked to obesity-related
ailments, Dr. Lisa Neff,
an obesity specialist at
Northwestern University.
She was not involved in the
study.
“In people of the same
weight, the person who
carries weight around the
middle is going to have
higher risks” of obesityrelated ailments, Neff said.
By 2011-12, the last
year studied, 44 percent
of men suffered from
abdominal obesity, up from
37 percent. The trend was
more pronounced among
women: By 2011-12, about
two-thirds of all women

were affected, up from just
over half in 1999-2000.
The researchers analyzed
data from CDC health surveys and in-person exams.
Adults’ average age during
those years was 45.
Previously released data
from the same surveys
indicate that about 35
percent of U.S. adults are
obese, a level that hasn’t
budged much in recent
years. Those surveys define
obesity as a BMI of at least
30. For example, someone
who is 5-foot-4 — the average U.S. woman’s height
— would be obese at 175
pounds.

Southeastern stops Raiders
By Alex Hawley

Kaela Shaw (left) during the Lady Raiders loss to Southeastern on Monday.

BIDWELL, Ohio — All good
things must come to an end.
The River Valley volleyball
team won all three of its matches last week but the Lady Raiders couldn’t keep the streak
going, and RVHS dropped
three straight games to nonconference guest Southeastern,
Monday night in Gallia County.
The Lady Panthers (7-3)
jumped out to a seven point
lead early in the opening game,
but River Valley (7-5) rallied
back to within two at 13-15. A
pair of four-point rallies allowed
Southeastern to pull away and
take the 25-17 victory in the

opening game.
SHS kept the momentum
up from the first game and the
Blue and White charged to a
16-10 lead. RVHS showed resiliency and came back to tie the
game at 22. The Lady Panthers
won the ‘first to three’ battle
and took the second game by a
25-23 count.
The Lady Raiders seemed
to get things going in the third
game, surging to an 11-6 lead,
but Southeastern’s Bailey
Barnes marked seven service
points in a row to give the
Lady Panthers the lead and
the momentum. River Valley
couldn’t not bounce back and
Southeastern claimed the 25-18
win and the 3-0 match victory.

River Valley was led by Alex
Truance with six points and
an ace, followed by Rachael
Smith with five points and two
aces. Chelsea Copley posted
four points, Jacey Walter and
Courtney Smith each added
three points; Walter marked
one kill. Leia Moore, Ashley
Gilmore and Kaela Shaw each
finished with one point in the
setback.
Moore led the Lady Raiders
at the net with four kills and
two blocks, followed by Rachael
Smith with two kills and a
block. Truance marked one
kill and five digs, while Jaimee
Wooldridge added three digs.

By Alex Hawley

ahawley@civitasmedia.com

VINCENT, Ohio —
Revenge at its worst.
The Warren volleyball team earned
revenge for its August
21st loss at Gallia
Academy, Wednesday
night when the Lady
Warriors upset the Blue
Angels in four games.
The Southeastern
Ohio Athletic League
leading Blue Angels
(10-3, 4-1 SEOAL)
won the first game by a
25-21 count, but Warren claimed the next
three games 25-18,
25-23 and 25-18.
The Gallia Academy
service attack was led
by Jenna Meadows
with 18 points and six
aces. Grace Martin and
Allison McGhee each
marked five points,
Jordan Walker and
Ryleigh Caldwell each
had four, while Micah
Curfman and Brooke
Pasquale both tallied
three points. Curfman

marked one ace in the
setback.
The GAHS net
attack was led by Martin with 12 kills and
four blocks, followed
by Curfman with 11
kills and four blocks.
Meadows marked nine
kills and two blocks,
Walker had six blocks
and three blocks,
while Caldwell added
six kills. Makenzie
Brumfield marked
two kills and a block,
followed by McGhee
with one kill. McGhee
had 20 assists, Curfman added 10 helpers,
while Caldwell led the
defense with 10 digs.
Curfman marked nine
digs, while Meadows
chipped in with six.
The Blue Angels
and Lady Warriors
also split the season
series last year. GAHS
had won four straight
games before Monday’s
loss. Gallia Academy
falls to 4-3 away from
Centenary this season.

Lady Tornadoes topple Eastern
Bryan Walters

bwalters@civitasmedia.com

TUPPERS PLAINS,
Ohio — It’s been a long
time coming.
The Southern volleyball team snapped an
18-match losing skid to
host Eastern Monday
night during a 25-9,
25-10, 25-11 victory in
a Tri-Valley Conference
Hocking Division matchup at the Eagle’s Nest in
Meigs County.
The visiting Lady
Tornadoes (5-3, 3-3 TVC
Hocking) picked up their
third consecutive triumph
while also ending the
Lady Eagles three-match
winning streak in a near
wire-to-wire fashion. EHS
(4-7, 3-3) never led in the
first and third games and
took its biggest lead of
the night at 4-1 in Game
2.
Southern stormed out
to leads of 4-1 and 8-2 in
the opener, then worked
its lead out to 22-7 before
rolling to a 16-point win.
The guests rallied from
their three-point deficit in
Game 2 by reeling off five
straight points to secure
a 6-4 edge, a lead they
would never relinquish.
SHS extended the lead
out to 19-10 and served
out the final six points for
a 2-0 match lead.
The Lady Tornadoes
led 3-0 and 11-1 down the
stretch and were ahead

by as many as 16 points
(24-8) before ultimately
closing things out with
the 14-point decision.
Southern last defeated
EHS on Sept. 26, 2005 at
Charles W. Hayman Gymnasium after gutting out
an 18-25, 25-20, 16-25,
25-22, 15-11 victory. SHS
eventually shared the
TVC Hocking championship with Eastern that
season, which is the last
league title for the program.
For first-year SHS
coach Chris Carroll – a
2006 Eastern graduate –
it was a special moment
for him professionally,
knowing first-hand how
long the Lady Eagles have
dominated the ranks of
the TVC Hocking.
As he noted afterwards,
it’s also a great step forward for his program.
“Having the girls show
up and play the way that
I know they can play, that
was what was special
tonight,” Carroll said. “I
could see from the opening game that they were
ready to go and they
played lights out from the
start.
“We have some momentum and I know this
means a lot to the kids to
end this streak, but we
still have a lot of volleyball to play. We still have
things to improve on.”
Second-year EHS coach
Katie Williams – who was

a sophomore on the 2005
team that lost at Southern – also thought that
the Southern team played
with heart and passion
from the start.
Williams, however,
didn’t feel that her Lady
Eagles could have the
same said of them.
“Southern came out
and wanted it the most,
and they took it. They
played with energy, and
we most definitely did
not,” Williams said. “We
have to work hard from
start to finish to win
games, and we didn’t do

that tonight. I give Southern all the credit because
they were the team that
wanted it more.”
The outcome was also
significant in the fact that
it was the first time since
the turn of the millennium that the Lady Tornadoes won a volleyball
match at EHS. Southern’s
last road win against the
Lady Eagles came in the
fall of 1996, which was
also the last time SHS
swept Eastern in regular
season play.

Plenty of candidates as TCU, WVU and Iowa
Big Ten’s best on offense St show Big 12’s depth
Rusty Miller

Associated Press

So who’s the best offensive player
in the Big Ten?
Yes, the conference has gotten off
to a dismal start. And, yes, the season is young.
Ohio State’s Braxton Miller, the
Big Ten’s top offensive player the
past two years, is out for the season
after shoulder surgery. Someone is
destined to step into that vacancy.
Yet not many teams in the country would turn down backs like
Nebraska’s Ameer Abdullah or Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon, or smart
quarterbacks such as Christian
Hackenberg of Penn State or Michigan State’s Connor Cook.
And Indiana’s Tevin Coleman,
Michigan State’s Jeremy Langford,
Maryland’s Stefon Diggs, Michigan’s Derrick Green, Minnesota’s
David Cobb — and even the freshman who replaced Miller, J.T. Barrett — may all stake a claim.
The conference has many offensive threats. It all comes down to
how they’re utilized.
“It’s a little bit about personality
and it’s a little bit about what the
head coach wants to be on offense,”
Rutgers coach Kyle Flood said in
assessing the Big Ten’s attacks.
“Ultimately, offense comes down to
getting the ball into the hands of
your playmakers and there’s a lot of
different ways to do that.”
Abdullah, a 5-foot-9, 195-pound
senior I-back, is averaging 132
yards rushing a game for the conference’s last unbeaten team (3-0).
But he’s much more.
“There’s really no weakness in
his game. He can do it all,” coach
Bo Pelini said. “That’s rare. He
can pass-protect, he can catch the
ball coming out of the backfield, he
can run inside, he can run outside.
He’s very versatile and a complete
back.”
Gordon, a 6-1, 213-pound junior,
is off to a relatively slow start with
178 yards and two TDs in as many
games. Don’t be surprised if he
explodes soon, possibly this Saturday against Bowling Green.
“I don’t think he drew it up nor
did we with the number of yards
he’s had to this point, but he’s
excited about the opportunity,”

coach Gary Andersen said. “We’re
looking forward to watching him
have a great year.”
Overshadowed so far despite
being the nation’s leading rusher is
Coleman, averaging 218.5 rushing
and 237.5 all-purpose yards a game.
He is bidding to become the Hoosiers’ first Big Ten offensive player
of the year since Antwaan Randle
El in 2001.
Hackenberg was the conference’s
freshman of the year in 2013, when
he broke one Penn State passing
record and 12 school freshman
marks for passing while completing
231 of 392 passes for 2,955 yards
and 20 TDs with 10 interceptions.
He’s picked up where he left off
last season, passing for 361 yards a
game to rank seventh in the nation.
“I’ve really only studied one guy
this year in particular on tape, just
from the standpoint that we didn’t
play him a year ago,” Northwestern
coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “That
was Christian Hackenberg. He’s a
really impressive, impressive young
man.”
Hackenberg’s first-year coach,
James Franklin, said Hackenberg
has the attitude that seems to come
as part of the package with topflight quarterbacks.
“Christian’s got tremendous
belief in himself and he’s also willing to sacrifice to be special,” he
said. “It’s very, very important to
him. And I think that shows up on
Saturdays.”
Cook took over as Michigan
State’s starter last year and led the
Spartans to victories in the Big
Ten title game and the Rose Bowl,
winning MVP honors in each. So
far this season, the junior is completing more than 68 percent of his
passes for 314 yards a game for the
No. 11 team in the nation.
“He’s leading (the team), he’s
got a great arm, he’s got a quick
release,” coach Mark Dantonio
said. “My feeling is he still has
room to grow. That’s what’s so
exciting about this. Really, the sky’s
the limit for him.”
Running backs Langford, Green
and Cobb, quarterback Barrett and
receiver Diggs all figure to also be
prominent contributors when the
Big Ten season kicks off in earnest
Sept. 27.

a power conference
team on Saturday —
and West Virginia and
Iowa State did it on
the road. The teams
picked 7th, 8th and
9th in the preseason
poll had three of the
Big 12’s four marquee
wins, showing that
the league might be
deeper than originally
thought.
“I think this is going
to be a really strong
conference this year
and really for a number
of years because there’s
so many young players.
And obviously we’ve
competed well outside
of conference,” Oklahoma State coach Mike
Gundy said Monday.
Six Big 12 teams are
off this week. The lone
power five non-conference game is a Big
12-SEC tilt between
No. 20 Kansas State
and No. 5 Auburn on
Thursday. No. 4 Oklahoma, which trounced
Tennessee 34-10, plays
at West Virginia while
Kansas faces Central
Michigan on Saturday.
TCU (2-0) has struggled since joining the
Big 12, winning just
6 of its first 18 league
games. The Horned
Frogs might change
their fortunes if they
play defense like they
did against Minnesota
on Saturday.
TCU held the run-

fourth straight state title,
outscoring teams 130-6 in the
opening three games.
STILL KICKING: Grant
McKinniss is continuing the
legacy of outstanding kickers
at Findlay High School, which
has had at least a punter or
placekicker get AP All-Ohio
recognition in 13 of the last
17 years, including Nick Lotz
(Pitt), Josh Huston (Ohio
State) and Brandon Walker
(Notre Dame). McKinniss
booted 11 field goals a year
ago and kicked a school-record
53-yard field goal in Findlay’s
45-14 win over Sylvania Southview last week.
LEAGUE IN TRANSITION:
With one school (Dola Hardin
Northern) leaving the league
and three new schools coming
in the Blanchard Valley Conference began its 50th season
under a new 12-team twodivision format. The new guys
were not given a warm welcome: Bascom Hopewell-Loud-

oriented Gophers to
just 99 yards rushing
on 39 tries and picked
off Mitch Leidner three
times in a 30-7 win.
Quarterback Trevone
Boykin continued his
promising start, throwing for 258 yards and
two touchdowns while
rushing for 92 yards on
just 12 attempts.
“I thought he handled
himself well. I thought
he stepped up in the
pocket better than he
ever has,” TCU coach
Gary Patterson said of
Boykin.
West Virginia coach
Dana Holgorsen’s job
status has been a major
topic of discussion ever
since the Mountaineers
went 4-8 in 2013, but
he may have the program going in the right
direction again.
After a surprisingly
close loss to No. 3
Alabama and a 54-0
win over Towson, West
Virginia beat Maryland
40-37. Clint Trickett
set career highs with
511 yards passing and
four touchdowns as the
Mountaineers racked
up a staggering 694
yards against a team
that beat them 37-0 a
year ago.
Oklahoma’s visit to
Morgantown this weekend suddenly seems a
bit more daunting than
it did during the summer.
“The leadership ability of him is just off the
charts right now. He
just understands what’s
going on. He’s a smart
kid that understands
the game of football,”
Holgorsen said about
Trickett, who is completing 75 percent of
his passes.
Iowa State looked as
bad as any high-major

on was beaten 55-14 by Arlington, Mt. Blanchard Riverdale
lost 61-27 to Pandora-Gilboa,
and North Baltimore fell 35-14
to Leipsic.
NOTEWORTHY: For the
ninth straight year, the Danville Blue Devils claimed the
Devil-Dog trophy in a 41-7
victory over the rival East
Knox Bulldogs; Beloit West
Branch’s Kip DeShields had
a school-record 13 receptions
for 200 yards and three TDs,
but the Warriors lost 37-34 to
Niles McKinley; Jack Hemmelgarn, making his first varsity
start with reigning Division
V offensive player of the year
Brody Hoying recovering from
a leg injury, went 15 of 28 for
195 yards and three TDs and
Chris Post ran for 152 yards
and a score as defending Division V state champ Coldwater
improved to 3-0 with a 28-17
win at Minster; Glouster Trimble’s Austin Downs caught
seven passes for 231 yards and

team in the country in
a 20-point home loss to
FCS champion North
Dakota State in its
opener. The Cyclones
(1-2) have made enormous strides since
then.
Iowa State led by
as many as 15 points
before falling to No. 20
Kansas State 32-28 in
the only league game
so far. The Cyclones
continued their turnaround in Iowa City,
rallying to beat the
rival Hawkeyes 20-17
on Cole Netten’s
42-yard field goal with
two seconds left. Iowa
State now has a ton
of confidence and an
extra week to prepare
for Baylor’s visit on
Sept. 27.
“We’ve learned that
we have tremendous
upside with this team.
There’s a lot of growth.
A lot of potential, and
we’re tapping into it,”
Iowa State coach Paul
Rhoads said.
It wasn’t all good
news for the Big
12. Kansas (1-1) go
drubbed 41-3 at Duke.
Texas Tech’s 16-game
non-conference home
winning streak was
erased in a 49-28 loss
to Arkansas.
Texas (1-2) looked a
lot better this weekend
than it did in a blowout
loss to BYU on Sept.
6, but still lost to 12thranked UCLA, 20-17.
But outside of the
woeful Jayhawks, it
looks as though any
team in the Big 12 is
capable of taking a
league game from anyone else.
“I think that, top to
bottom, this league is
going to be very challenging for all of us,”
Gundy said.

a TD and also rushed for two
scores to lead Glouster Trimble to a 41-12 win over Crown
City South Gallia.
STILL ROLLING: Trotwood-Madison has a different
coach — former Ohio State
receiver Jeff Graham — but is
still 3-0.
Maurice Douglass left to be
the head coach at Springfield,
with Graham taking over.
Under Douglass, Trotwood
played in four straight state
title games and won the Division II state championship in
2011.
SOUTH POINT AFTER
TOUCHDOWN: South Point
had to go to great lengths for
one of its extra points in a 42-6
victory over Sciotoville East.
Thanks to a variety of penalties, Jordan Overstreet converted the kick from 42 yards.
“I’m going to have to fire
the special teams coach,” said
coach Rick Marcello. “That’s
me.”
