CHALRESTON - Cabell Midland's season opener was no contest. The Knights embarrassed the Riverside Warriors with a staggering 70-point win. From the opening kickoff to the fourth quarter's end, momentum for the boys in red and silver never slowed. They dominated the ballgame. Into halftime, the Knights led by 36. Seconds after returning to the field, Donte Hendricks drove the nail even deeper into Riverside's coffin. He returned the kickoff to rack up a 97-yard touchdown. The scoreboard screamed "game over" with a 43-0 Cabell Midland lead. Kelly Thomas helped pave the
Knight's path to victory with 156 yards on 12 carries. The Knight's defense formed a brick wall the Warriors could not break. Midland stopped Riverside's every attempt at hope. The boys in red and silver allowed only 42 total yards and one completion from Riverside. The offense recorded a mindblowing 605 rushing yards. The uncontested victory proved Cabell Midland is not here to play this season: they're here to annihilate any team that SEE MIDLAND ON PAGE 5 Running past the competition - Jr. Running back Donte Hendricks racks up some yardage for Cabell Midland.

Marshall Unveils New Soccer Complex By: Christian Deiss
HUNTINGTON, WV – The opening of The Veterans Memorial Soccer Complex by Marshall University on August 23 will always provide good memories for Erin Simmons of Marshall’s Women’s Soccer team. The sophomore forward from Gahanna, Ohio scored the first official goal at the new complex as the Lady Thundering Herd defeated the Campbell Fighting Camels 3 – 0 in front of 1433 soccer fans. Before the women’s match at the $8 million dollar facility that took two years to build, was a friendly game between the Marshall Soccer Alumni and the 2013 Marshall men’s squad, won by this year’s team 2 – 0. “I am beyond

Now we have a first class facility to go along with the rest of the other improvements throughout the campus.” Former Herd soccer player and

Coach Dave Papalia played for the alumni team, “This place is tremendous, we use to play on really old astro turf on a field that wasn’t very nice. This is just an incredible thing to see, somebody’s vision come true. I wish I had a chance to play on something like this.” Papalia played for Marshall 1982 and 83
and coached 1984 through 1986 and currently lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Both the women’s and men’s teams will play their games this season at The Veteran’s Memorial Field, also known as Hoops Family Field. To follow the Marshall Soccer teams this season, go to www.herdzone.com.
