Rangeland event brings expert to CSC campus

u By Zachary Carlson Reporter

Taking economic values from your livestock operations, making money off of your farm or ranch, and knowing what foods should taste like, are all topics that keynote speaker Shane New brought to mind at the Observing and Thinking workshop from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Wednesday, in the Student Center. New, of Holton, Kansas, taught new range man-

agement ideas and practices along with other local rangeland entrepreneurs to roughly 60 Nebraska Panhandle locals. “I’ve got a passion for agriculture, for one thing, but I’ve also got a passion for educating people that are in agriculture,” New said after the workshop. Known internationally for his work, New talked about old and new practices that either profited or hurt farmers and ranchers in the past and compared them to the practices he’s implemented on his own

‘CABsolutely’ fun: Kahoot lightens mood at workshop  By Aubrie Lawrence News Editor

This week, CAB held a trip budget packet workshop, led by Vice President of Finance Lily Umeta, in place of its weekly meeting. At the workshop, a member of each club’s executive board and the CAB representative learned how to properly fill out a trip budget packet. The purpose of this workshop was to effectively teach members of clubs to fill out their trip budget

packets, as well as fundraising packets, so that they pass the correct information along to future members of the executive boards. In the 2018-19 school year, the budget for club spending was cut to $135,000 from the prior school year’s budget of $219,395 due to a lack of club spending. In the 201819 school year, $103,500 was spent of the allocated budget. Money allocated for club trips was also pulled from this amount. “We don’t know why but you

guys don’t use your money,” Umeta said. Umeta also stated that the biggest reason for this lack of spending was the fact that clubs do not know how much money they have to spend and a confusion on how to request funds. It was heavily stressed throughout the workshop that budget packets were to be submitted to AFB two months prior to a trip to allow for AFB and senate to properly review the request and make the correct

allocation. When requesting seed money for fundraisers, clubs must pay the money back within two months of their fundraisers. These seed money loans have zero percent interest. If a club has a negative balance, the money should be paid back within two months of the money being spent. If a club is unable to pay the balance by the end of the fiscal school year, July 1, the club will start out the next school year with a zero balance, regardless of their budget

request in the spring. After the informational portion of the workshop, CAB members were then put to the test on their recently learned knowledge with a Kahoot quiz put together by a member of AFB. The additional fund request form that was approved by senate last week was also introduced to CAB members. A make-up workshop was held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday for any clubs that missed Monday’s meeting.

Senate approves previously tabled Revive trip  By Aubrie Lawrence News Editor

After tabling last week’s $6,600 travel request from Revive because of what it said was a lack of information, senate approved the measure, 6-4, at Monday’s meeting. Two senators abstained. The trip would allow, at most, 24

students to participate in a professional development conference that focuses on internships in the ministry and missionary trips. There also will be speakers addressing the importance of faith and the ministry. Senate approved the allocation but said they will “keep in mind” that the amount given to Revive might change depending on the number of students who commit to

attending the conference. In another matter, the Health Professions club requested $2,038 to send 26 students to its annual professional development and ski trip in Rapid City, South Dakota. The request packet stated that students would spend four nights in an Air BnB where they said they would build team relationships. On the final day of the trip, the students

said they would tour the cardiac wing at Regional Health Rapid City and engage a panel of the hospital’s employees. The AFB recommended only $100 to cover fuel expenses. AFB members said they did not recommend the full amount because they deemed the trip was largely recreational. Senate approved AFB’s $100 recommendation.

In other business: > Senate has $26,417 in unallocated funds and $22,584 in unspent trip funds. > An E-sports suggestion table will be in the Student Center from Monday from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. > There will be a cornhole tournament in The Pit today at 7 p.m., sign-up starts at 6 p.m.

PSA treats dorm students who’ll miss T’giving dinner  By Emily Hansen Reporter

There is a double treat in store for students who are staying in dorms over the Thanksgiving holiday. RLA is teaming with CSC’s Professional Staff Association to provide those students Thanksgiving dinner. PSA president Heather Crofutt said in a

campus wide email Wednesday that there is enough volunteers to serve the meal but the group needs help cooking it. Last year, about 117 students stayed in the dorms over Thanksgiving break. In addition to cooking and serving the Thanksgiving dinner, PSA is collecting dorm-appropriate, non-perishable food items for the students. Those wishing to help with

the food drive, may drop their donations at several locations across campus: Chicoine Center lobby; Crites Hall, lobby; Miller Hall, second floor; Sparks Hall, mailroom; Old Admin, first floor; King Library, main level; Math and Science, first floor; and Burkheiser second floor. The food collection boxes will be picked

up Friday, Nov. 22. Suggested food items include: macaroni and cheese cups, soup, granola bars, and fruit cups. For more information, contact Crofutt at hcrofutt@csc.edu, or PSA vice president, Tena Cook, at tcook@csc.edu.

Health Professions Club hosts blood drive The Health Professions Club is teaming up with Vitalant, to produce a blood drive in the Student Center Ballroom on Monday, Nov. 18. Vitalant, formerly known as United Blood Services, will have students relax in a recliner and donate blood to help save a life. By doing a single blood donation, you can save up to three lives and burn 600 calories. Kristal Kuhnel, director of Health Professions, said, “About 4.5 million people are in

need of a blood transfusion every year and only 37 percent of people are able to donate blood.” Kuhnel said, “Only 10 percent of that 37 percent actually donate so we want to get people excited to donate blood and save a life.” If you’re interested, walk ins are available or you can sign up to donate by going to www. bloodhero.com and schedule your blood donation appointment.

Mari Sandoz Wacipi set for Nov. 23 The Mari Sandoz Wacipi, also known as powwow, will be on Saturday, Nov. 23 in the Student Center Ballroom. The event will begin with a free lunch at noon and the Grand Entry of dancers will start at 1 p.m.

At 3 p.m., Kansas and Kyal Middletent will talk about Lakota bow making. At 4p.m. they will begin talking about the Lakotas as Star People. The event is free and open to the public.

New also gave a brief history lesson on grasses and how vaqueros (Mexican cattle punchers) came up with the idea of covering their stirrups with big pieces of leather, known as tapaderos to prevent their boots from getting wet in the tall prairie grasses along with brushing up against cactus. Range Management Professor Ronald Bolze, host of the workshop, said the program was meant to attract farmers, ranchers and the consuming public. “This program is geared to people that are actively involved in production agriculture,” Bolze said. “I always learn something new,” he said. “I’ve learned that hopefully soon we’re going to be able to objectively measure

nutrient content of foods at the point of purchase. Meaning a consumer can walk into a retail store and use a hand-held device that tell them how nutrient-dense that food is.” The majority of those attending the workshop were local farm and ranch owners, with a handful of students present as well. Two of those ranch owners were Bruce and Vicki Troester who showed up to challenge their thought processes in considering the nutritional value of their livestock. Bruce said they’ve been ranching “since 1982,” and are always curious of new ways to manage their system. The attendants were accommodated with a free lunch, snacks and beverages.

CSC professor talks on kindness u By Chase Vialpando Co-editor

The room fell silent as he approached the wooden podium. After a brief greeting, he cleared his throat and began describing his favorite brands of cigarettes from the Vietnam War. The most recent Graves Lecture in the series featured Bruce Hoem, a CSC Social Work professor, Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Mari Sandoz Center Hoem read original works inspired by his

time overseas during the Vietnam War and shared notable stories from his life, including various celebrity encounters. The preview of the lecture teased that it would be about Charles Manson, Woodstock, The 5th Dimension, and The Cat. These topics weren’t the subject of Hoem’s readings, only mentioned in them. However, Hoem said that he attempts to convey the same message through all of his writing. “Try to be kind. Try to be kind before anything else.” Hoem said.

CAB workshops: answer to possible burnout?

he students here at CSC undoubtedly rely on their governing bodies, both student and administration-led, to allocate their student fees towards worthwhile ventures. For students involved in clubs, communication with student senate and CAB is essential. Those in leadership positions within clubs know the importance of attending weekly meetings to represent their group. This allows for clubs to interact with CAB about any issues or plans they may have, as well as allow them to stay involved with the senate. It seems then, that these meetings are vital to clubs running smoothly. As any club’s CAB representative will know, attendance at the weekly senate and CAB meetings is mandatory, and there are penalties for missing them. This is to encourage clubs to stay in communication with student government, but it may also be leading to burnout among students. With the recent resignation of Jacob Muir, CAB’s former vice-chair of finance, on Oct. 28, a possible issue with the current scheduled meetings came to light. One of the reasons Muir gave for his resignation is that the numerous meetings and mandatory events CAB members

Laughter should be used at work u By Devin Fulton Opinion Editor

I am writing a research paper that talks about the effects laughter and our mental health has in the workplace. What I found is that all types of laughter bring positive reinforcement, regardless if we are at work or not. Laughter and humor are common models of language we use, but they also serve as a tool which can improve working conditions. Unfortunately, most people in the U.S. have a form of work-related depression (one in five adults). This should come as no surprise considering many people work at jobs they have no passion for. The forms of communication people primarily use in the workplace are responses to commands from management. Many people probably work with others they share no con-

nections with, so it makes sense why workplace depression is abundant. The typical American worker schedule is 40 hours per week, meaning we spend roughly 24 percent of our adult lives around our co-workers. This can be good or bad, depending on the compatibility we have with our co-workers. The problem is that, with these mental health issues, work- Devin Fulton places are faced with paying loads of money to treat employee men- Laughter is free and anyone can tal health disorders.

laugh at things they love and cry at the things they hate. This goes to show that laughter is a primal reaction we use to express love and crying as an expression of distress. Laughter is one of the rare emotions that we use to acknowledge a moment we enjoy. Meanwhile, other emotions stress, anxiety and depression cause us to grieve about something for long periods of time. Looking at “The Office”, Jim Halpert clearly hates his job, but is loved in the workplace because of the goofy pranks he pulls on everyone in diplomatic fashion. Even though he doesn’t help the workplace with production, he makes those around him laugh. Meanwhile, Dwight Schrute does the opposite of Jim, but most people favor Jim’s goofiness to Dwight’s hard work. While “The Office” is fictional

and provides little to no assessment of the actual workplace, the audience is also drawn towards characters like Jim over those like Dwight. My assumption is that people who are surrounded by co-workers all week would rather laugh at what they do instead of being impressed. This shouldn’t be an encouragement to not work hard, but rather a recognition that laughter draws in more interest inside a workplace and those around us than simply accomplishing tasks diligently. After all, Dwight’s busy antics on the show cause a heart attack while Jim’s antics land him in a relationship with his soulmate. Focusing on bringing more laughter to the workplace could enhance the quality of our mental health, but it also encourages us to be better company around those we spend a good portion of our lives with.

No dog deserves breed specific legislation u By Samantha Persinger Co-editor

“So good news, I saw a dog today.” For all you Will Ferrell’s “Elf ” fans out here you may recognize this quote in one of its classic Buddy and Micheal scenes. I am not a fan of this movie, but I do like this quote, simply because Buddy says he saw a dog. He did not specify what breed of dog he saw, it could have been a Dalmatian, a German Shepard or Pit Bull, however, the quote just says dog, because Buddy the Elf probably did not care what breed it was, he was just happy to see one. I think this is how everyone should feel about dogs. Because

not one breed is better than another. BSL or breed specific legislation have created an unwarranted fear and stigma for good dogs and owners. Breed specific laws are defined as laws that regulate or ban certain breeds of dogs, with the concept of decreasing dog attacks on people or animals. It has not been proven anywhere that these types of regulations contribute to a safer society or decrease attacks. According to ASPCA’s website around 700 cities in the U.S. have adopted BSLs. Even though many big names do not support them, one including the Centers for Disease Control. The CDC quotes “Any dog of any breed has the potential to bite.”

Samantha Persinger Along with the CDC, The American Kennel Club, Humane Society and other also do not give BSL the positive support enforcers look for. Because then when it comes down to it, they create more problems than they

solve. A stigma is put around bully-type dogs. Things like muzzles, leashes and banning certain dogs from dog parks give the wrong message for those that do not know the loving dog behind all of it. According to their petitions pages, the AKC oppose legislation that discriminate against certain phenotypes of dogs no matter the breed. With big-wig names like this pushing for non-discriminatory laws, how come so many people are still scared of dogs? Mostly because the regulations in places that discriminate bully type breeds create fear more than the dog itself. The happy medium on breed specific legislation is control for

all dogs or none at all. Some will say it is not fair, but BSL is not fair now, nor will it ever be. Dogs are dogs, they are all good, it is bad people that make them bad. The Humane Society of the United States compiled a full page on their website who are against or do not give notice to BSL I encourage everyone to visit and read the testimonials. If you see a dog with a muzzle, do not pass judgement because another dog doesn’t have one. Because all dogs have the potential to bite, not just certain types.

As They See It On the Bright Side

Seek wisdom from upperclassmen u By Rachel Mitchell Columnist

I realized many of my columns are either geared towards seniors in school or the general public. But with this being the first semester of college for many of you, I thought it’d be appropriate to pass down some advice. With this being my last year at Chadron I feel like there are some things I wish I knew during my freshman year that I know now. First, you don’t have to be perfect. Your grades, test scores and how you’re doing in a class does not define you.

College is a place where you learn, fail often, try something new and figure out who you are. Maybe you thought you would go into a particular field, but realized it was nothing like you thought. It doesn’t keep your interest and you want to change your major. That’s okay, people change Rachel Mitchell their majors all the time. You don’t have to be stuck where you thought you one does. Next, you don’t have to sign would be. There are areas you thought you’d excel in, but up for everything and do evjust couldn’t and that is okay. erything people want you to You’re not expected to be per- do. It is okay to just say no. You fect in college. People act like are not obligated to do everythey have it all together on thing that people ask of you. I campus and I promise that no know that is a strange concept

and I really wish I would’ve known this earlier in college. But you do not have to sign up for every club, you don’t have to attend every event or hang out with people all the time. Above all you don’t have to give anyone an excuse as to why you said no. You can just say no. Telling someone no can be hard because we feel like we need to have an excuse. However, if you don’t want to do something, that should be a good enough excuse. The last thing I want to leave you with is to talk with upperclassmen. Throughout your college career you will be in classes with people who have been in college or taken

multiple courses before. They will always have information to give. I also think most upperclassmen would be happy to help and provide you wisdom from study tips to who the is best professor to discuss topics with. Don’t be afraid to talk to them and ask questions. They have been in your shoes before. They know how hard it is. Just be kind and ask. I hope that everyone, especially freshman, can take some nuggets of information away from this. Above all, you aren’t alone and someone was in your shoes. There’s always room to learn and grow through our failures. That’s what college is for right?

Stepping Up with Abigail

You are famous to someone out there u By Abigail Swanson Columnist

The other day, I came across one of those poems you hear once and keep hearing for years. The poem is called “Famous” by Naomi Shihab Nye. I came across it during an advanced creative writing class on poetry. In the poem, Nye describes ordinary, everyday things as famous compared to other ordinary things. For example, she talks about how the sleeping cat is famous to the birds watching him, or how the boot is famous to the ground or how a loud voice is famous to the silence. In a way, we are all famous to someone for something. You may be known as the friend

who’s ready with puns, or the saltier than a potato chip roommate. You may be famous to your professors as the student who actually spoke up in class or as the one who sends the really long emails, maybe you are the one who is always early or the one who takes forever to leave. Right now, you are famous for something, even if you are only Abigail Swanson famous as someone who is always doing homework, or worse, the one who never turns in at- doing something extraordinary, but famous as someone who tends class. At the end of her poem, Nye never forgets all the things they describes how she wants to be can do. This challenged me to famous to other people. She ask myself what I want to be fatells us that she wants to be the mous for, what I want the people person at the grocery store who in Chadron to remember me for, smiles back, she doesn’t want to how I want to impact the people be the person who is famous for I see every day.

This may sound arrogant, after all, I am not the most important person, I don’t play sports, I don’t have superior academic standing, I am not an extrovert who knows everyone, I’m just a normal human. But, as a normal human, I have the same 24 hours every day that everyone else does and I can choose the attitude I present to others. After all, the type of fame Nye describes in her poem isn’t about the sheer number of people who know you, but about the amount of care that goes into each interaction, no matter how many people you may see. Whenever I am walking down the sidewalk from point A to point B, I am greeted and asked how I am doing about five times.

However, only occasionally does someone actually stop to find out if I am actually doing well. I am guilty of the casual “How are you?” as much as anyone. It is polite to ask how someone is doing, but we can’t be bothered to wait for an answer any deeper than “good.” For me, I want to be famous as the one who talks to friends on sidewalks. The next time I see someone I know sauntering down the concrete, instead of just mutually nodding, I want to actually find out how this thing called life is treating them. I want to be famous to shuffling groups, heads focused on slippery sidewalks, famous as the one who took the time to listen.

Choir performs array of genres and eras u By Emily Hansen Reporter

Chadron Arts Center boomed with singing as the Concert Choir and Community Chorus took the stage to perform their talent at 3 p.m. on Sunday. Dr. Joel Shreuder directed the concert and was accompanied by pianist, Bobby Pace. The concert was separated into three sections. Opening the concert was the Community Chorus, a non-student group, following them was the student Concert Choir, and finally the groups came together to close the concert. The Community Chorus marched their opening song “Africa” by William Billings to action. Following this song were six other pieces. Among those were; “Winter Wind” by Brandon Williams and “No Time,” a traditional camp meeting song, arranged by Susan Brumfield. Concert Choir took the stage next, showcasing seven songs. “Hushaby,” an American folk song, arranged by Ellen Gilson Voth was among those songs, along with “Goodnight Moon” by Eric Whitacre. Finishing the concert, the two groups joined together to sing an upbeat, religious song “Hold on to the Rock” by Pepper Choplin.

Miss Julie Story by Devin Fulton Photos byt Samantha Persinger

et in northern Sweden during 1891, “Miss Julie” shows the captivity of a young woman who has different ideals than society. However, an ambitious laborer sharing the same house with, Miss Julie has secret desires for the woman who acts socially wrong. This lover’s quarrel leads to controversy that could be decided by escaping to a new life elsewhere or suicide, but the choice is up to Jean, played by Ryan Arab, junior of Deer Park, New York, and Miss Julie, played by Shanie Hollenbeck, senior of Estelline, South Dakota. “It is a play about cir-

cumstances and whether society influences the decisions we make” Hollenbeck said, “But I hope the audience has a lovely time watching it, that they laugh and enjoy it.” Adding to the drama between Jean and Julie is Christine, played by Courtney Smith, senior of Hampton. Christine seems content with her role as a maid who’s works along side Jean in the Count’s house. However, Christine is attracted to Jean, but is forced

to deal with the lover’s quarrel along with her own. The play provides social commentary as gender roles are emphasized and society has a grip on the characters’ decisions. The taboo subjects such as adultery, women’s rights and suicide are brought to the table in Miss Julie. Though they are not as scandalous today when the play first premiered in the 18s it was seen as too improper to be presented. Compared to the Theatre Department’s musical comedy “Evil Dead the musical” in October, “Miss Julie” offers a more serious experience for viewers. The play performed CSC’s The-

Teams go head-to-head with RLA event produces 200 Pit doubles pool tournament gifts for needy children u By Jeremiah Gutierrez Reporter

The senior twins Konery and Lukas Klueber of Rapid City, South Dakota pulled off a nail biting win in The Pit’s best of three doubles pool tournament where students gathered at 7 p.m. Thursday. There was a total of 17 teams of two. The Pit spent around $185 on prizes and pizza for the contenders. The prizes were to be split by the first and second place winners. According to one of the event hosts BriYanna Lyon of Fountain, Colorado, this event was exactly what they were expecting. “I think the event went very well.

I think it ran smoothly for the fact that it was one of our biggest events. The event was what we expected,” Lyon said. Teams were competitive and eager to win. Unfortunately, there was only room for two prize winners. The top three teams rose fast. They were the Twins, Wakanda, and Cheema. The final two teams to stand were the Twins and Cheema. Game one came down to the eight ball for both teams with the Twins coming out on top. Cheema bounced back with a strong win in game two. After two tough games, the Twins pulled off the win in the third. The Twins Konery and Lukas

Kluebler placed first, while team Cheema, Javan Lanier, of Aurora, Colorado, and Amrit Cheema, of Chadron, placed second. The Twins team won two JBL Bluetooth speakers, and team Cheema won two sets of black web headphones. “There was a competitive nature. Obviously, Lukas and I play a lot together. We know each other’s play style very well, and have a lot of confidence in each other to make balls. Winning is always fun. Lukas and I are seniors and we’re trying to win every tournament this year,” Konery Klueber said.

Students made over 200 Christmas boxes for children in need at “Operation Christmas Child” in the Hub at 7:30 p.m. on Monday. About 90 students attended the RLA event. Students got the chance to pack shoe boxes with a variety of supplies to send to children in need all around the world, for Christmas. The three main supplies going into the boxes were school supplies, hygiene products and clothes. Students then could choose from different toys and accessories to put in their boxes. The supplies were separated into boy specific supplies and girl specific supplies in order to create personalized boxes to meet the needs of both boys and girls. The students also wrote a personal note to include in their box for the

children to read. Cookies and drinks were available for students to snack on while creating their boxes. “Our goal for the event is to create 200 boxes to send to children in need for Christmas.” Neslon said, “Another goal for the event is to get people more involved with things happening around the world,” Mariah Nelson, housing and residence life assistant director, said. “My favorite part about this event is seeing the smiles on all the students faces as they come together to help kids around the world,” Chessa Parker, 21, senior of McCook, said. Cab and senate teamed up to pay for shipping for the Christmas boxes. They spent $1800. RLA provided all the supplies for the event which were donated by Nelson and her family. This was the fifth year RLA put on “Operation Christmas Child.”

With two matches left, the Eagles’ volleyball team has already achieved their first winning season since 2003 (16 years) with their current record of 14-10 overall. But while they beat Black Hills State University on Friday in four sets (26-24, 23-25, 25-16, and 25-22), they lost to South Dakota School of Mines and Technology on Saturday in five, (24-26, 25-20, 21-25, 25-23, and 121). Meaning the team’s appearance in the conference tournament is still undecided. The Eagles’ remaining matches are both against Metropolitan State University of Denver, and both at home, beginning Thursday at 6 p.m. CSC hasn’t won in 11 matches with the Roadrunners dating back to their first match up in 2012. The matches have added importance as the Eagles currently sit in eighth place in the standings, the final qualifying spot for the RMAC conference tournament. The Eagles, 8-8 against conference opponents, are separated by just one win from Black Hills State who is ahead of them in the standings, and the University of Colorado – Colorado Springs who are behind them. While the Eagles have two matches remaining, the Yellowjackets and Cougars have just one. BHSU will play its final match against 7-10 South Dakota Mines, Friday, and UCCS will play 19-6 Colorado Mines the same day. Chadron can guarantee their

Wrestlers begin RMAC duals

u By Brandon Davenport Sports Editor

The Chadron State Eagle wrestlers will travel to their first two Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference duals this week. The team will begin in Gunnison, Colorado, against Western Colorado University tonight at 7 p.m., then head to Grand Junction, Colorado, for a dual with Colorado Mesa University on Saturday at 5 p.m. Just one wrestler from each university was ranked in the Division II Wrestling Coaches Association Preseason Rankings. Western’s Jason Hananberg, sophomore of

Colorado Springs, Colorado, was ranked sixth at 141 pounds and Mesa’s Payton Tawater is ranked 10th at 157. Western’s only meet so far this season was the Cowboy Open in at the University of Wyoming, Laramie, Nov. 2. The Mountaineers’ Rugeer Wyneken, sophomore of Clovis, California, placed third at 184 pounds. Hanenberg suffered two losses. Mesa did not place anyone at the Cowboy Open but placed two wrestlers at the Northern Colorado Open, Sunday. Mesa junior Cian Apple, of Arvada, Colorado,

tied for fifth at 125 pounds and unattached wrestler Fred Green was third at 165. Three CSC wrestlers attended the open, but their names and results were not available at time of print. On Thursday, the Eagles split their first duals of the season in Lincoln, losing to the University of Nebraska, but winning over Hastings College. Eagle Tate Allison, senior of Moorcroft, Wyoming, at 165 pounds, had the only win against the Huskers and was CSC’s only undefeated wrestler during the eastern Nebraska duals.

head conference set record to work out the standings. In that scenario, the Eagles would end up seventh and in the conference tournament. BHSU would be eighth and UCCS would be ninth. The Eagles would have avoided a tense end to the season with two wins last weekend. Friday, with the score tied at 20, Rylee Greiman, freshman of Windsor, Colorado, gave the Eagles a 22-20 lead with back-to-back kills. BHSU’s Katherine Welniak, sophomore of Laramie, Wyoming, stopped CSC’s momentum with a kill, and an attack error from Greiman tied the score again at 22. A kill by Timmi Keisel, senior of Fleming, Colorado, and two by Shelby Schouten, senior of Alton, Iowa, won the set and match for CSC. “I thought it was an overall team win. We were being disciplined, really, on all sides of the game tonight,” Head Coach Jennifer Stadler said after Friday night’s win. “Number 25, Timmi Keisel, I thought, just played really well. We were able to get her the ball a lot, and she was terminating really well. I was really proud of the things that she did for us.” Keisel had 15 kills in the match and hit an outstanding .433. Stadler said Schouten and Ashton Burditt, senior of Spearfish, South Dakota, playing a big part in Friday’s win. Schouten hit .359, and Greiman had 13 kills. Tori Strickbine, freshman of Stillwell, Kansas, ended the match with 42 assists and 18 digs. The Eagles had three players with double-digit digs lead by Burditt with 25. Karli Noble, junior of Cheyenne,

Wyoming, had 11 and Katie Thoeny, junior of Lakewood, Colorado, had 10. Block leaders for the Eagles were Chandler Hageman, sophomore of Chadron, who had eight; Keisel and Schouten tied with 3. Mid-way through the fifth set with SDSMT, Saturday, with the score 8-5, the Eagles went on a three-point run to tie it up. Shortly after, the Hardrockers put up two points to lead 11-9. From then on, the match was back and forth until a Hardrocker kill and service ace by Dana Thomson, sophomore of Fruita, Colorado, gave Mines a 15-12 set and match win. CSC’s kill leaders for the match were Schouten with 16, Greiman with 13, and Hageman at 12. Strickbine had 50 assists and 10 digs. Dig leaders for the night were Burditt with 22, Abby Schaefer, freshman of Greeley, Colorado, with 15, and Noble at 11. Block leaders were Hageman with nine, Schouten with seven, and Keisel with four. Saturday, Chadron battled back from a 2-1 deficit to force an extra set against UCCS, but couldn’t overtake the Cougars in the fifth. Twice, first at 10-9, then at 14-13, the Eagles pulled within one, but never led in the deciding set. Four Eagles had double-digit kills in the match, led by senior Shelby Schouten, senior of Alton, Iowa, who had 15. Chandler Hageman, sophomore of Chadron, and freshman Rylee Greiman, freshman of Windsor, Colorado, each had 14 and Keisel had 10. Strickbine had 58 assists and Burditt had 25 digs. The Eagles hit .255 to the Cougars .237.

Cross country teams finish strong at regionals u By CSC Sports Information The Chadron State College cross country teams both competed Saturday morning in the 2019 NCAA South Central Region Championships, hosted at the West Texas A&M Cross Country Range, in Canyon, Texas. Both teams were 25th in the team standings. “Our team finished out the season with heart and pride,” said CSC Head Cross Country Coach Luke Karamitros. “We weren’t satisfied with our conference performance, so we made the proper adjustments and finished hard. As I conclude my first cross country season, I’m proud of these young individuals for embracing my vision. We’ll take a short break

now, but we’ll get back soon to keep up this momentum for track season.” Junior Madison Watson led the Eagles women once again, crossing as the No. 67 runner in 23:56.54. It was only 14 seconds off her best, which was set in her last competition, the RMAC Championships. Her classmate, Emma Willadsen took more than a minute off her last attempt at the six kilometer WTAMU course, which was two years ago in her freshman season. She finished 84th in the field of 193, with a time of 24:24.48, improving her finish by 54 places from a year ago and 63 from her last time in Canyon. The CSC men were led by a true freshman for the third time this season. Garrett Avery, of Sheridan, Wyoming, was

133rd in his first-ever 10,000 meter collegiate race, with a time of 35:25.69. Adams State was the regional champion from the women’s side, while Colorado School of Mines finished atop the men’s standings. The region will be represented at the 2019 NCAA Division II Cross Country Championships by the teams qualifying automatically by finishing top three, plus others selected by a formula. The automatic qualifiers, in both races, were Adams State, Colorado School of Mines, and Western Colorado. The highly competitive South Central Region usually receives more bids than most other regions.

Eagle-Rock Trophy stays put u By Brandon Davenport Sports Editor

From a last minute pass break-up to seal the game, to key interceptions, a blocked punt for a TD, big passing plays and a safety, Saturday’s 5348 shootout between Chadron State and South Dakota Mines had more highs and lows than the temperature on the great plains in November. “It took all phases,” CSC Head Coach Jay Long said. “We were struggling on defense then we found a way on defense; we were inconsistent on offense and then we found a way on offense. On special teams we weren’t doing a very good job on our punt team and boom we flip it and we score on special teams. It took every person to win this football game.” The Eagles eventually came out on top, but their win was put in question by Mines scoring

The Orediggers lead the RMAC and are undefeated. Saturday, the Hardrockers took advantage of good field position to pace the Eagles offense and led 24-17 after the first half. They struck first in the second half with a 46-yard field goal to go ahead 27-14, but the Eagles pushed back and the real shootout began. After a 75-yard drive made it 2724 Eagles, senior linebacker Ty Lewis, of Arvada, Colorado, intercepted Mines’ Smith and Elijah Myles, sophomore of Hawthorne, California, punched it in from the 4-yard line to give CSC a 31-27 lead. After the two teams swapped leads over the next few drives, CSC punter Chad Mikelson, sophomore of Julesburg, Colorado, pinned Mines on their own 1-yard line and junior linebacker Travis Wilson, of Fresno, California, who leads the RMAC in tackles this season, brought down Mines’ running back Zach Hoopman, sophomore of Douglas, Wyoming, in his own end zone. The safety pulled the Eagles to within one point of the lead at 4140 and on the next play Holst found receiver Brandon Fullerton, senior of Riverton, Wyoming, for a 54-yard TD to make it 46-41 Eagles. The drama didn’t stop there. CSC took its first two-score lead of the game when tight end Baylor Hayes, junior of Cheyenne, Wyoming, blocked a Mines punt and teammate Justin Cauley, redshirt freshman of Venice, California, scooped the ball

and took it into the end zone. The Orediggers were forced to punt during their next drive but got the ball back on the CSC 31-yard line after referees determined it had hit the foot of an Eagle player and was recovered by Mines. The team converted on fourth-and-two and threatened on first down from the CSC 19, but Barthwell intercepted Smith at the five-yard line to return the ball to the Eagles. A missed CSC field goal on the next drive set the game up for its dramatic finish. CSC totaled 573 yards of offense in the game, 222 on the ground and 351 through the air. Holst completed 18 of his 30 passes, had four TD throws and was intercepted once. Wright led all receivers with 180 yards and two TDs on two receptions. Fullerton had 76 yards and a touchdown on two catches and Cole Thurness, junior of Rapid City, South Dakota, had 57 yards and a TD on three catches. Thurness was removed from the game in the third quarter after his second unsportsmanlike penalty. Myles rushed for 193 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries. Wilson was four tackles shy of the CSC record of 24 tackles, set by Corey Anderson against Montana Tech in 1988. Wilson leads the RMAC in the stat with 115. Both he and linebacker Noah Kerchal had three tackles for a loss in the game. Kerchal was second on the team with 11 tackles. Fellow linebacker Lewis had eight and an interception.

Women’s basketball shoots hot, then not in openers u By Brandon Davenport Sports Editor

Eagle forward Jessica Lovitt, senior of Mullen, and Dustdevil post Julynne Da Silva Sa, senior of Belem, Para, Brazil, reach for the ball during tip-off, Friday at the Chicoine Center. CSC won the game 66-63.

Following Friday night’s 6663 season-opening win at the Chicoine Center, CSC Head Basketball coach Janet Raymer, speaking to CSC Sports Information, said she believed her team was more mature this year and better able to identify quality shots. That certainly seemed to be the case after the team downed Texas A&M International University, Friday, while shooting 50.9 percent from the field. They followed the performance by shooting 53.85 percent in the first quarter of their 63-57 home loss to Texas A&M Kingsville, Saturday. But in the second quarter the team hit just three of 10 shots, followed by an abysmal 10.53 percent during an ill-fated third quarter that likely cost the team the chance at beginning their season 2-0. The team ended with a 29.8 shooting

percentage. “We weren’t taking some of the same shots,” Raymer said. “We were trying to really force it on one side instead of reversing it and moving it as well as we did (Friday.)” Last weekend marked the third straight season the Eagle women have started their schedule against the two Texas teams and the second consecutive season they’ve gone 1-1 to open after winning both games in 2017-2018. This week the team travels to Sioux Falls, South Dakota for the University of Sioux Falls Classic. There they’ll face Bemidji State on Friday at noon and play host USF Saturday at 4 p.m. Friday, the Eagles dominated International in the second quarter, allowing them just five points and leading 28-17 after two quarters. But down by 14 with about seven minutes remaining in the game, the Dustdevils began chipping away at the Eagles’ lead and

eventually trailed by just one point with about minute left. Within that last minute, International’s Clara Fernandez, freshman of Vitoria, Spain, and Josselin Geer, sophomore of Panama City, Florida, both missed three pointers before CSC’s Jori Peters, sophomore of Mitchell, sank two free throws to extend the Eagles lead to 65-63 with just under 30 seconds left in the game. The Dustdevils had multiple chances to tie the game, and even go ahead as the clock wound down, but again missed on a pair of threes. Against Kingsville, Saturday, the Eagles trailed just 36-35 at the half and outscored the Javalinas 14-11 in the fourth quarter, but were left trailing 52-43 after scoring just eight in the third and couldn’t overcome the deficit. “I think that we should have had a better effort tonight,” Raymer said. “I would like to see 2-0 at this point. Not satisfied for sure.”

Men’s basketball winless during season-opening Texas trip u By Devin Fulton Sports reporter

The Eagles’ men’s basketball team dropped its first games of the season in Texas over the weekend. CSC lost 65-75 to Texas A&M International Friday and lost 66-67 to Texas A&M Kingsville Saturday. In both losses, Chadron saw a quality performance by transfer Brian Rodriguez, senior of Phoenix, as he shot 15-21 from the field, 7-11 from the three point line and made nine of 14 free throws for 46 points over the weekend. Against International, CSC shot 38 percent from the field and 27 percent beyond the arc while the Dust Devils shot 41 percent from the field and 37 percent from the three-point line. CSC out-rebounded its opponent 37 to 30. Junior Stephon Bell, of Phoenix, led the Eagles with nine rebounds and also scored 10 points. Against Kingsville, Chadron out-shot the Javelinas

by 18 percent from the field and 33 percent from the arc, but came up short in the 66-67 loss. The Eagles turned the ball over 33 times while the Javelinas scored 34 points off turnovers. Rodriguez-Flores shot 10 of 12 from the field and hit five out of six three pointers to lead CSC with 25 points. Junior Stephon Bell, of Phoenix, led CSC with 11 rebounds while senior Colby Jackson, of Las Vegas, led with nine free throws. “It was a good weekend for us, if we can learn from it,” CSC Head Men’s Basketball Coach Houston Reed said to CSC Sports Information. “We put ourselves in a position to win both games, but ultimately, we beat ourselves. We can get these issues fixed. It was also good for us to look at lineups to learn more about our rotations and first year players.” The Eagles travel to Aberdeen, South Dakota, to take on Sioux Falls, Friday, Nov.22, and Northern State University, Saturday, Nov.23 CSC played Kearney on Wednesday, but results weren’t available in time to print.
