Fire Pit project fizzles out u By Aubrie Lawrence Editor-in-Chief

The fire pit project went up in smoke Monday when Student Senate voted 15-1 to discontinue plans during its weekly meeting.

The decision came after the fire pit committee recommended the project be stopped. A survey sent out by the committee Wednesday showed 119 students out of 207 voted against the fire pit project.

“When I talked to my constituents, especially after and during the town hall, nine out of 10 of them either said ‘no’ or that they didn’t really see the investment of having it,” Bryan Zutavern, senator of BMS, said. “Some of them said that they didn’t really care and that they didn’t have an opinion. When pressed, they would say that they didn’t think the fire pit was the way to go.”

Meet your Student Senators Senator at Large Olivia Bryant wants to advocate for nontraditional and off-campus students Olivia Bryant, 20, junior of Anselmo.

What Student Senate committees are you a part of?

“I am a member of the Fire Pit Committee, NPAC Committee, and will be chairing the Platinum Eagle Award Committee in the spring. I am also a Student Senate Representative for the Academic Review Committee, which is a part of Faculty Senate.”

Do you have any previous experience in Student Senate?

If so, what was it?

“I do have previous experience with Student Senate. Last year, I was a Liberal Arts Senator.”

Why did you decide to become a Senator?

“I wanted to become a Senator because I have always had an interest in government. My mom is an elected official in county government so growing up I was always really intrigued by her work and how she has been able to help others. In the future, I would also like to work in government so I thought that joining Student Senate would be a great way to gain experience.”

Fire Pit,

What would you like to accomplish during your term?

“During my term, I want to improve communication between Student Senate and the student body. Students may be unaware of the purpose of Student Senate and what resources we can provide. As a communications major, I think that transparency is crucial in all Olivia Bryant forms of government. We can work to close some of these communication gaps and help create stronger campus connections.”

What are your platforms as a Senator?

“During my term, I will be fair and consistent to all my constituents. I also want to help better support students through the expansion of the Food Pantry. Finally, I will advocate for nontraditional students and students that live off campus.”

What do you want students to know about Student Senate?

“One of the biggest things that students should know about Student Senate is that we are a resource for the campus community. Student Senate wants to help create a better future for CSC students. If students have any comments, concerns, or questions they should contact their respective Senator or stop by the Senate office. Student Senate is here to listen to the needs of students and we want to make everyone feel included and heard.”

Are you a part of any other clubs on campus?

“I am a part of Cardinal Key and am the secretary for Student Alumni Council.”

What is your favorite thing to do on your days off?

“In my free time, I really enjoy reading. I am currently reading Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. I also like to watch old movies, go out for coffee with friends, and paint.”

from page 1 A previous survey sent to students Oct. 6 regarding the fire pit showed that out of the 610 total votes, 348 voted in favor of the fire pit, 138 voted against the fire pit, and 57 did not have enough information.

“I think it’s good that we put all this effort into discovering what the constituents want as far as the fire pit,” Sullivan Jones, liberal arts senator, said. “Now we

known they don’t want it and so we should take this time to come up with something they do want.”

Both surveys provided students with the ability to submit comments to Student Senate, and responses to both surveys showed that students wanted to spend the allocated $158,000 on something else.

“I do love the idea of having a gathering space,” Natalie Boyd,

senator at large, said. “From an events perspective it’s a great spot to hold events. But at the end of the day, I’ve talked to my constituents at length and most of them are like with our kind of weather, you’re only going to get two months a year use out of it and they’re like I don’t see spending all that money when we could have other initiatives like expanding the food pantry or creating a winter initiative for stu-

dents who don’t have coats.”

Senators are now working to find a new project to turn their attention to.

In other news: > Student Senate allocated $250 to Sharing and Caring. > Student Senate allocated $1,050 for I Hate Winter Week. > Isna Patel, senator at large, was sworn in as the new vice chair of financing.

CSC “Just Dances” THE EAGLE COVID-19 REPORT SOURCE: CSC website as of Wednesday, Nov. 17, 5 p.m.

 By Kincaid Strain Reporter

CSC was moving and grooving to “Just Dance” on the Wii, Tuesday night.

Eagle Esports Club member Cameron McClintock, 21, of Wallace, put on the event.

“I thought it would be fun to do Just Dance Night in general because Just Dance isn’t done a lot and I feel like a lot of people like to dance,” hesaid.

With over 50 students coming to bust a move, three lucky students won door prizes through a random drawing of either a water bottle, a Bluetooth speaker, or a portable charger. There was also an option to enter your name into a raffle to win Just Dance 2021 for an Xbox or a Switch.

Each person who wanted to

do the raffle was given two tickets with their name and the option to put two tickets in one bowl or one ticket in each bowl.

“Taking a break to move around and let loose is what helps me break up my study time,” Paige Boitz, 18, freshman of Pueblo, Colorado, I can hang out with my friends and get my mind off of studying for a little bit.”

With Eagle Esports on the rise and this event bringing in a grooving crowd, Esports plans on hosting more events similar to this one in the future said Stephanie Alfred, Esports faculty adviser.

“It’s a competitive and social gaming club that is open to all in hopes to foster a social connection and a competitive spirit on campus,” she said.

High Rise RLA staff flip flapjacks during House of Pancakes event  By Olivia Bryant Reporter

Students were greeted with the smell of cooking pancakes and throwback music 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday in The Hub during the High Rise House of Pancakes event.

High Rise RLA staff teamed up to feed roughly 80 students during the one-hour event. The pancake making party included multiple pancake-making stations and a separate gluten free waffle making station to accommodate students

with allergies.

“RLA programs, like High Rise House of Pancakes, help students feel a little closer to home and help to increase student engagement on campus,” Siddhant Shelke, 22, senior of Pune, India said. “This event was a great way for students to interact with one another and destress as we start to approach Thanksgiving break and the final weeks of the semester. Also, who doesn’t love to eat pancakes for supper.”

Students were able to customize their flapjacks with syrup, whipped cream, candy toppings and fresh fruit like strawberries, blueberries and bananas. Students were able

to pair their made-to-order pancakes with apple and orange juice.

Participating students were also entered into a random prize drawing for two Belgium waffle makers.

“When RLA hosts events, it helps me as a first-time college student not feel as homesick,” Aubree Quast, 19, freshman of Clarks, said. “Going to these student activities helps gets me out of my room and is a great excuse to take a study break. My favorite part of the event was the fresh strawberries and getting to each some delicious pancakes with my friends.”

Is it really so hard to understand no E

very incoming freshman is required to go to the consent and respect seminar (which some will understand and some will unfortunately choose to ignore) but I’m glad our school has it. Maybe, just maybe, it’ll help the future relationships of the students here.

Too many people don’t respect another person’s choice to say no.

While it may seem easier to believe that rape or sexual assault only happens outside of relationships in random occurrences, that is not the case.

According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one in five women in the United States have been raped and of those 45.4% were raped by someone they were in an intimate relationship with.

It might seem shocking that someone who is in a relationship with someone would rape the person they supposably love or at least really care for, but it keeps happening.

Now I can’t speak for anyone else, but I was taught from a very young age that when someone

says no or stop, you listened and stopped doing whatever you were doing. No or stop or don’t do that all mean that whatever is happening should not be.

I’m pretty sure the english language and ‘keep your hands to yourself’ was taught to all children.

So I’m just a little confused on why it has become such a topic of misunderstanding and debate.

If someone random just hopped in your car when you were parked, you would be confused and probably want them to get out. Some random person jumping in your car would be scary. All you can really do is ask them to get out and hope they won’t try and hurt you.

If they didn’t listen that would seem pretty weird ,right?

It’s pretty weird that they wouldn’t ask first any ways, right?

It’s pretty weird and annoying when people use your stuff without asking in general. People get mad at roommates and siblings for eating their snacks or using their clothes.

This is because it’s normal to ask permission when you use or touch other people’s stuff.

NSCS v. conservatives - the fight for gender identity u By Aubrie Lawrence Editor-in-Chief

Nebraska conservatives are enraged this week after the Nebraska State College System’s Board of Trustees updated a policy and created a new one that protects the gender identity rights of employees and, frankly, that couldn’t make me happier.

Board Policy 5012 is a new policy approved by the Board that addresses “chosen names and gender identity issues for employees.”

To sum it up, the policy asks for employees to respect the chosen names and self-asserted genders of other employees. The other policy that is being attacked is Board Policy 5007, which was originally passed in 2015. The policy is being revised to provide “clarification related to color and race discrimination” and add pregnancy and gender identity to the list of protected classes.

It seems pretty simple; they’re asking for people to treat others with basic human decency and respect. Or as Christians put it, treat others the

way you want to be treated.

But, of course, that’ll never be the case.

Nebraska Public Media reported on Nov. 12 that Chancellor Paul Turman received 300 emails about asking the Board to vote ‘no’, because they go against “the principles of conservative Nebraskans.”

In a written statement to the Board, the Nebraska Family Alliance claimed that the policy is “ideologically driven” and will “allow biological men into women’s restrooms.”

Even Governor Pete Ricketts went so far to release a statement asking the Board to vote ‘no’ to the revision.

“The inclusion of ‘gender identity’ as a protected class in Board Policy 5007 and Board Policy 5012 reflects the ideological and unscientific concept that sex is ‘assigned at birth,’” the letter states. “This is a concept being pushed at the national level by political activists. Adopting the proposed policies would impose gender ideology on Nebraska State College campuses by discouraging teachers and students to speak freely and act in accordance with science and their judgements about the biologically

Aubrie Lawrence

determined nature of males and females.”

He later went on to write that the policies would increase sexual assault because adding gender identity as a protected class would be giving men a “guarantee of access” to women’s restrooms.

It never ceases to amaze me that people only seem to care for the safety of women when their ‘traditional’ personal views on gender identity are attacked. What about the women that have been getting raped and sexually assaulted everywhere else?

While it is not my place to speak

on behalf of nonbinary or transgender people, I can relay their arguments.

No nonbinary or transgender person who is entering a women’s restroom is going in there with the intent of sexually assaulting anyone in there. They are going in there because that is the restroom that aligns with their gender.

If conservatives are so worried about men entering women’s restrooms to sexually assault or rape people, maybe that says a lot about how we teach men about respecting consent.

Ricketts also points out that the policies would be impeding First Amendment rights, citing the recent U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals case Meriwether v. Hartop, et al.

The Court ruled that Shawnee State College should not have punished Nicholas Meriwether, a philosophy professor, for refusing to use a student’s preferred pronoun because it violated Meriwether’s right to free speech and freedom of religion.

I was raised Catholic and I distinctly remember that one of the things I was told to do was respect

everyone, regardless of their differences. So why are we claiming that respecting someone’s chosen name and pronouns is a violation of our freedom of religion?

As for freedom of speech, sure don’t call them by their chosen name, but don’t ask for any respect from them in return. Because trust me, you won’t get it.

The point of these policies isn’t to force people to agree with gender identity and chosen names, even though that would probably eliminate so many issues, they’re simply trying to give people a safe space to exist at work.

There’s a reason young people are leaving Nebraska. It’s the fact that anyone who doesn’t fit the conservative ideology is treated terribly.

The uproar around these policies underscores the bigotry in our state and I honestly find it disgusting. I’m proud of the Board of Trustees for granting a safe space and being LGBTQ+ allies but I’m ashamed for the Nebraskans who have decided to side with the suppression of differences.

Don’t kid yourself, zoos aren’t for the animals u By Anjaelique Cole Columnist

Pacing,head-bobbing, over-grooming these are some symptoms of zoochosis.

In case you do not know what zoochosis is, it’s a mental illness developed in captive animals. If you saw a child pacing, pulling out their hair, eating then regurgitating their food, or even starving themselves you would think something is wrong.

Then why do we see them in animals at the zoo and not think something is wrong. I know many people with a pet or animal that call them

their fur babies. They think of them as their children so they would notice if their fur babies started having any of these symptoms, yet I bet many of these people would enjoy going to a zoo.

Cat owners love going and looking at the pacing tigers what they do not understand is that a constant never-ending pacing can be one of the symptoms.

Most people think zoos are helpful because we can control breeding of endangered species and we can have more of them in the zoo. The problem with this is the zoos use harsh methods to get their animals and to breed new animals.

Anjaelique Cole

They want younger animals because they are stronger and breed better, problem with this is in the wild the parents look after their young.

So zoos hire hunters or find

other means to separate the young from their family. Then they want them shipped back to the zoo but most animals die in transport.

Zoos are also bad because they need to keep their “stock” updated so they use harsh methods to get semen from the males and inseminate the females. The animals do not get a choice in their friends, mates, or what they do daily.

This can result in animals getting stressed out and developing zoochosis.

Zoos do more harm than they do good. Also, since people are more attracted to younger animals and older ones cost more mon-

ey, they will either have them put down or ship them off to run down zoos, hunting ranches, or laboratories.

Zoo animals get to live their lives stressed out in captivity for us, then get shipped off to die alone.

Zoos teach us that it’s okay and not harmful for these animals to be full of tranquilizers and other drugs but it’s not. We are also taught that it can not do much harm because it is only one or two lions, tigers, or bears but that’s still too many. Zoo animals lose the ability to survive on their own.

Zoos are for humans’ amusement not for any animals’ benefit.

This isn’t your typical whale watching experience, so you won’t be on a boat, but you will be amazed.

CSC theater students and staff will be performing the play “The Whale” for all to come and see this month and next.

Big-hearted and fiercely funny, “The Whale” tells the story of a 600-pound man’s last chance at redemption, and of finding beauty in the most unexpected places.

“The play touches on so many topics and it isn’t just about a 600-pound man,” Michael Susko, theatre interim director, said. “It’s about family, it’s about regret, it’s about love. I think the audience will be really moved.”

The play is very well-known, and according Susko, this play is not usually done in colleges.

If you have never heard of this play before, opening night is, Thursday at 7 p.m. They will also have five more showings after this. These times are 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m., Sunday, along with 7 p.m., Dec. 3 and Dec. 4.

Susko said he is more than excited for people to

come and see this play and feels his students will go above and beyond to reach every emotion the audience can handle.

“I hope the audience is ready to go for this beautiful and emotional ride,” Susko said.

As you may know, any good story comes with struggles and that’s just what Susko, and his cast had to deal with.

“The cast has worked very hard on finding their roles,” Susko said. “Being able to stay true to their characters, finding the humor, finding the pain in the characters, and most importantly finding the love. I think they’ve succeeded.”

The male role of the 600-pound man named Charlie is played by Zackary Wellnitz, junior of Rushville, and the female role of the daughter Elle is played by Trista Topil, freshman of Lincoln.

“They will laugh, they will cry, they will experience a beautifully moving piece of theater,” Susko said.

Tickets for the upcoming play are free and can be reserved at csc.edu/theatre or you can come to the Black Box Theater on the second floor of Memorial Hall.

If you can’t make this play, the theater will be putting on two more shows next semester, “Crimes of the Heart” and “The Lion in Winter,” which you can find more details about online.

The first Thanksgiving was believed to be 400 years ago, November 1621, and it was the celebration of the autumn harvest between the newly arrived Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians at Plymouth.

The foods eaten at the first Thanksgiving weren’t anything like the foods enjoyed now. The table would’ve been set with vegetables, fruits, fish and shellfish like mussels, lobster, bass, clams and oysters.

New York was the first of several states to adopt an annual Thanksgiving holiday in 1817. Every state celebrated it differently and in the South it was a largely unfamiliar tradition.

George Washington gave t first Thanksgiving proclamati by the United States’ natio al government in 1789. He hop Americans would express their gr itude for the conclusion of the w and their independence.

Since 1966, Dallas has played on every Thanksgiving with the exception to 1975 and 1977. However, the Lions were the first to start the tradition of Thanksgiving Day NFL football in 1934 against the Chicago Bears.

26,000 tickets for the game was sold out two weeks in advance.

Graphics by Velvet Jessen

Franklin D. Roosevelt moved the holiday up a week in 1939 to try and spur retail sales during the Great Depression.

The moving of this holiday received fervent opposition and the president signed a bill in 1941 to officially make Thanksgiving the fourth Thursday in November.

Members of CSC’s Wildlife/Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation club helped Nebraska Game and Parks Commission with deer check stations for the nine day November firearm season.

Volunteers from the club were able to work at check stations in Chadron, Crawford and Rushville.

Shifts were six hours long running from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. and 2-8 p.m. Members could take multiple shifts at each station.

Hunters who have harvested a deer during the firearm season must be checked at an in-person check station.

Other deer seasons now use TeleCheck a survey designed during 2020. This survey allow hunters to check in animals without attending a check station.

Some deer carcasses that are checked at the stations will have lymph node samples taken to be tested for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD).

Club members learn what to do at check stations

during one of the clubs meetings earlier in the semester.

Students are taught to age deer and how to take lymph node samples for CWD testing.

Wildlife/RMEF President, Justin Gress was one the volunteers at the check stations along with 20 other club members.

“It (volunteering) allows me to be a positive influence and role model for all of my fellow conservationists as hunters,” Gress said. “And there is a lot of great stories and positive experiences that you just won’t find anywhere else. It’s truly a great experience and feeling to be able to give back to the public as a conservationist myself.”

According to Gress, many club members volunteered for multiple shifts in different towns, to get a diverse experience.

I am also extremely proud of our club as a whole,” Gress said. “We have a great group of active members and future leaders. They don’t get enough credit for their countless hours of volunteering and hard work, so we as officers are extremely thankful and blessed to be able to lead such an eager group of members.”

Senior duo breaks CSC football records u By Mackenzie Dahlberg Sports Editor

Dalton Holst, graduate of Gillette, Wyoming, and Cole Thurness, senior of Rapid City, South Dakota, wrapped up their Eagle careers, breaking Chadron State College career records and taking their final win against Black Hills State University, 57-6.

“When the season started, we knew that Dalton was going to have his name all up and down the record books and Cole also had an opportunity,” Jay Long, head football coach, said. “We knew they need to have a good year.”

Holst capped off his time as an Eagle by beating the career passing touch-

downs with 97, throwing four against BHSU Saturday. This season, he also became CSC’s career passing yards record holder during the Eagles’ victory against New Mexico Highlands.

Jonn McLain previously held the record with 94 passing touchdowns when he played for Chadron State from 2009 to 2014.

Holst’s career of passing touchdowns and 11,529 career passing yards placed him as number four all-time in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC).

Holst said that he’s been able to play with some amazing receivers, running backs, and offensive linemen, and without those players like the offensive linemen blocking well, he wouldn’t have been able to get the ball off as much.

Eagles volleyball season ends with a sting u By Mackenzie Dahlberg Sports Editor

Photo by Mackenzie Dahlberg

Amelia Berg, front, senior of Fort Collins, Colorado, passes the ball while her teammates Aracely Hernandez, middle, senior of Greeley, Colorado, and Rylee Greiman, junior of Windsor, Colorado, watch behind her during CSC’s last volleyball game of the season, Saturday evening against Black Hills State University in the Donald E. Young Center in Spearfish, South Dakota.

The Eagles took on South Dakota rivals for their last two matches of the season but were shutout by both South Dakota School of Mines, Friday, and Black Hills State University, Saturday.

“We played well defensively, got some good block touches, got some really good defensive digs, extending some of the rallies,” Jennifer Stadler, head volleyball coach, said. “We had a lot of hitting errors this weekend. So, we were unable to capitalize on playing well defensively.”

The closest Chadron State was to taking a set over the weekend was their first set Friday against South Dakota Mines, 25-21. Amelia Berg, senior of Fort Collins, Colorado, had seven of her nine total kills in that set against the Hardrockers.

Saturday had a troubling start for the Eagles with the first two sets being taken by BHSU, 2516 and 25-13.

In the last set its season, CSC started off with kills from Olivia Moten-Schell, sophomore of Billings, Montana, Audrey Bennett, freshman of Lenexa, Kansas, and Rylee Greiman, junior of Windsor, Colorado, along with attack errors from the Yellow Jackets putting the Eagles in the lead, 5-3.

Soon after, BHSU came back to tie at five points before taking the lead. Despite the lead shift, CSC kept the score close to even tie the score again at 11s following an attack error from Yellow Jacket Madison Hoopman, junior of Douglas, Wyoming.

“Overall, I think everyone did pretty good in the end of the season,” Bennett said. “Whether you played or not, it showed how much everyone

cares for this team.”

The Yellow Jackets broke away from the Eagles with a kill by Mariah Robinson, redshirt sophomore of Buffalo, Wyoming, an Eagle attack error, a Black Hills ace and another kill from Robinson to move the score up to 19-13.

The Eagle broke up BHSU’s point rally with a kill by Greiman set up by Berg, as the end of the season drew closer with each point. Berg and Aiyana Fujiyama, freshman of Wahiawa, Hawaii, blocked an attack resulting in a Yellow Jacket error to score the last point for Eagles, still sitting behind 24-18.

The Eagles’ season came to an end with a kill from Hoopman, capping of the Eagles season with a loss to one of the teams they had beat in five sets at home.

Throughout both games, Bennett shifted from setter to a hitting position. She had five kills and 16 assists on Friday and 15 assists on Saturday.

Leading Saturday for the Eagles, Greiman had seven kills. She also tied in the lead with nine digs along with Aracely Hernandez, senior of Greeley, Colorado, playing her last game.

“It’s always hard to see seniors go, no matter when it is,” Jennifer Stadler, head volleyball coach, said. “I think it’s especially harder when we haven’t had the best season and then also not playing to the best of our abilities. All four of them have put a lot of heart, soul and hard work into the program. So, their work ethic and their leadership are definitely going to be missed.”

Berg, Hernandez, Alli Keisel, senior of Fleming, Colorado, and Kincaid Strain, senior of Elk River, Minnesota, finished their carriers with the Eagles, leaving the volleyball court for the last time.

Women wrestlers finish strong at first meet u By Mackenzie Dahlberg Sports Editor

Chadron State women’s wrestling team started its program with five wrestlers competing at the Colorado Mesa Open, Saturday. One wrestler finished with a bronze medal and two wrestlers were one round away from placing.

“This was better than the start I expected,” Alijah Jeffery, head women’s wrestling coach, said. “Usually, you see those pre-mat jitters, es-

pecially that first tournament, going out there and kind of freezing up. There was none of that. Everyone went out there, wrestled hard right away and was full of confidence.”

Kamila Montenegro, junior of Las Vegas, won five of her six matches to finish third in the 170-pound bracket. She pinned her first opponent then took her only loss of the day by decision, 8-4. Montenegro returned to the mat to pin her remaining opponents in a range of times. For her last match, she faced her first opponent again, Courtney Cardoza, freshman

of Ottawa University Arizona, and pinned her just shy of three minutes.

“Not only did she (Montenegro) have a great performance, I know in the past she had struggled with getting out of position or being a little bit more reckless in a match,” Jeffery said. “What I saw from her is she’s very aware of her style and what was going to work for her.

Six matches in a day is a lot, and she kept it together and wrestled strong.”

Taylor Lindstrom, freshman of Rapid City, South Dakota, made it to the third round of

the 101-weight class, finishing one match shy of placing. All of her matches were technical falls with Lindstrom being on both side of the outcome. She lost her first and third matches, 10-0 and 17-6 respectively, but won her second match against teammate Kinsey Smith, junior of Windsor, Colorado, 12-2.

Lindstrom said it’s a really great experience to be a member of the first CSC women’s wrestling team.

Eagles get left in the dust u By Mackenzie Dahlberg Sports Editor

Chadron State men’s basketball team faced teams from the Lone Star State at home, taking its first two losses of the season.

“I think the biggest thing that we’re taking away from the weekend is we have to be more fundamentally sound and not shoot ourselves in the foot offensively with silly turnovers that are unforced,” Shane Paben, head men’s basketball coach, said. “We also have to make sure our rotations on defense are better and just play with a little more intensity on defense.”

CSC started against Texas A&M International University with the lead changing five times throughout the game but were unable to keep the lead at the end, 82-73.

The Eagles drove to cut down the Dustdevils’ lead as the clock counted down.

Chadron State momentarily held onto a one-point lead four and a half minutes into the half following a three-pointer from CJ Jennings, senior of Colorado Springs, Colorado, who returned to the court after being unable to play last year.

“It felt good being back on the court,” Jennings said. “We didn’t get the results we wanted but we’re hoping to learn from our mistakes

this past weekend.”

Less than 30 seconds later, the lead was lost to Dustdevil Tyrese Davis, sophomore of Dallas, with a layup in the paint.

The Eagles closed in again with under two minutes left with a good layup from Teddy Parham, Jr., junior of Los Angeles, shortening the point gap to five points.

The Dustdevils were able to break away from the Eagles in the end, taking the win Friday by nine points.

Jennings led the Eagles with 22 points and Parham was second with 14 points. Jennings made four of eight shots from the arc and was nine of 13 for field goals.

Parham was 100% with four shots from the free-throw line. He made two of three shots from the arc and four of seven within the arc. He also led the night with six rebounds for the Eagles, four of which were offensive.

Mason Hiemstra, junior of Alliance, was another Eagle that scored in the double digits with 11 points. He made his only threepoint attempt, and he was two of three from the free-throw line and four of nine in the field goal range.

The Eagles returned to the court on Saturday against Texas A&M University-Kingsville and began their season 0-2 in a 10-point loss, 84-74.

Parham led the Eagle with five field goals, two free throws, and three three-pointers for 15 points.

Jennings was close behind with

the same number of three-pointers, along with a free throw and four two-pointers for 12 total points. Jennings was the leader for rebounds with seven rebounds, six of them being defensive.

Brady Delimont, senior of Ainsworth, and Porter Anderson, sophomore of Russellville, Arkansas, were two other eagles that reached 11 points. Delimont made three two-point shots, three shots from the arc and two from the free throw line while Anderson made four field goals along with three free throws.

“I think we played nervous opening weekend, which is to be expected but as a whole we need to be more lose out on the court,” Jennings said.

The men’s basketball team ventured to Kearney to play the University of Nebraska-Kearney, 6 p.m., Wednesday.

CSC was trampled by the Lopers 79-58, moving its record to 0-3.

Jennings and Hiemstra tied in the lead for the Eagles with 12 points. Jennings made four of his 11 field goals, two of six shots from the arc and made both of his free-throws.

Jennings also led in rebounds with four, two of each.

Hiemstra made four shots for two-points and four shots from the free-throw line.

The Eagles travel to Sioux Falls, South Dakota to play the University of Sioux Fall at 6 p.m., Friday.

“I’m glad we are here to represent Chadron and be the start of a really good program,” she said. “And all the support behind us is amazing, we love the attention this program is bringing to not only our college but Nebraska and other surrounding states and I’m sure there will be women’s wrestling teams all over in the near future.”

Karstin Hollen, freshman of Mesa, Arizona, was also one round away from placing at 143 pounds. Hollen was pinned in her first match in 42 seconds but put up a fight against Kairah Castillo of Black Widow Wrestling Club, finishing the match tied 6-6, but taking the loss due to match criteria.

“I was impressed by everybody,” Jeffery said. “We had

talked leading up to this first competition about not being concerned about wins or loses but being concerned about going out there and trying things and trying to score points and everyone on the team did that.

He said that both Lindstrom and Hollen are right there and once they make a few tweaks and get more comfortable with freestyle wrestling and the mat, they’ll be just fine.

The Eagles competes in the Lindenwood Open, Sunday at St. Charles, Missouri.

“Hopefully we can get some more wins and produce some more placers,” Jeffery said. “We’re heading in the right direction so we’re just going to keep working hard.”

Things go south for CSC women’s basketball in the south u By Mackenzie Dahlberg Sports Editor

Chadron State women’s basketball team traveled to Texas to start off their season against two A&M teams, taking losses against both.

“We made some adjustments,” Janet Raymer, head women’s basketball coach, said. “I think the atmosphere that the girls created was positive. Sometimes, when you’re losing a game, it’s hard to bring energy and to get energy from the bench and from the first game to the second game, we improved that a lot.”

The Eagles held onto the lead for the first half of their Friday game against Texas A&M University-Kingsville, 2723, but were unable to put points on the board in the third quarter, losing to the Javelinas, 58-51.

The scoring for CSC started with a three-pointer from Jori Peters, senior of Mitchell, about two minutes into the game. Tatum Peterson, senior of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, extended the early lead to five points with a shot in the paint.

In the first half of play, the biggest lead the Eagles had against the Javelinas was 12 points following a three pointer from Ashayla Powers, freshman of Longmont, Colorado, with four and a half minutes left of the half.

Texas A&M-Kingsville took the lead a minute and a half into the third quarter and kept the Eagles at zero points throughout the quarter, remaining in the lead for the rest of the game.

Friday’s game saw three Eagles score 10 or more points.

Powers led the Eagles with five field goals, a three-pointer

and three free-throws for 14 points.

Peterson had 11 points, three from the free-throw line and four field goals, and Samiyah Worrell, junior of Fountain, Colorado, scored 10 points with three two-pointers, two free throws and two from the arc.

Powers also led the Eagles with 10 rebounds, three offensive and seven defensive.

“It’s expected and she (Powers) made some adjustments to try and keep herself out of foul trouble,” Stadler said.

“She has a high ceiling so she’s going to continue to improve for us. She’ll be fun to watch.”

Against Texas A&M International University on Saturday, Chadron State outscored the Dustdevils in the fourth quarter, 25-20, but were unable to take game, 92-72.

Powers was the first player from either team to start the scoring back up in the fourth quarter with a jump shot in the paint with 8:36 left of the game.

Elle Ravenscroft, freshman of Nenzel, made a jumper to put the Eagles 21 points away from the Dustdevils.

That was one of the moments with the smallest point gap of the quarter until Brittni McCully, senior of Mullen, finished the game with a field goal, reducing the point gap 20 points with three seconds left on the clock.

Powers and Emily Achter, junior of Melbourne, Australia, were the only Eagles to reach double digits on Saturday for points. Powers scored 16 while Achter scored 11.

“We’re trying to do a better job with our offense, being more direct in what we’re trying to get done and then defensively have a stronger presence,” Stadler said.

CSC women’s basketball team continues its travels, this time to play against Wayne State University at 6:30 p.m., Thursday in Wayne.

“It was one I didn’t really know like how far away it was or what needed to be done,” He said. “I’ve just been able to play with so many great players in my career. That’s a credit to my teammates throughout the years, they’ve been amazing.”

Thurness received eight passes from Holst of Saturday allowing the wide receiver to set the career receptions record at 191, passing Cory Brooks’ record of 188 from 1992 to 1995. Thurness was able to tie the college’s career receiving touchdowns at 26 with Tevon Wright, of Miami, Florida, who played from 2016 to 2019.

“It was awesome to see him (Thurness) get that record; I knew he was kind of close,” Holst said. “He’s just a guy that we relied on over the years just because of his great hands to catch the ball in traffic. He had a great career here and I’m excited to see what the future holds for him.”

Against the Yellow Jackets, the duo (Holst and Thurness) scored the first touchdown in the second quarter with a one-yard pass from Holst to Thurness, moving the Eagles lead to 16-6 with an extra point kick from Gunnar Jones, senior of Florence, Alabama.

Four minutes later, Jeydon Cox, redshirt freshman of Jackson, Wyoming, rushed in a 17-yard touchdown, his second one of the game after scoring the first six points for the Eagles in the first quarter.

Holst connected with two other receivers for his next two touchdown throws, Ahlonte Hair, sophomore of Live Oak, Florida, for a 71-yard pass in the second quarter and Chad Mikelson, senior of Julesburg, Colorado, for 38 yards with about a minute left in the third quarter.

The two touchdowns were spaced between kicked points by Jones who made all three of his field goal and six extra point attempts, despite it being a windy day.

“Winning our last three or four games was really big for us,” Long said. “Our motto is always to finish. I thought that we finished this season on a strong note and I’m really proud of our seniors for doing that with us.”

Holst threw to Thurness once more for a four-yard touchdown during the first drive of the fourth quarter, and the quarterback was taken out shortly after to officially finish his Eagle football career.

The Eagles accomplished a clean sweep of the final 2021 RMAC Football Players of the Week.

Long said he doesn’t know if he’s seen a clean sweep in the RMAC before, and that it was pretty neat to experience for our guys, especially with how well the three played and how well all three phases played on Saturday.

Holst received Offensive Player of the Week for his game, throwing 236 yards and four touchdowns.

Jones took specials teams for the third time this season, scoring 15 of the 57 points scored against BHSU and having a kickoff average of 55.7 yards.

Joey Geil, sophomore of Casper, Wyoming, finished as the Defensive Player of the Week with 10 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and a fumble recovery in the fourth quarter.

CSC football moves into the off season of recruiting, before restarting their training in January to build themselves up for the 2022 season while seniors say good-bye.

Along with the two records he set this year, Holst already held two carrier records of passing yards per game and total offense per game.

He also has four CSC season records of passing attempts, passing yards, passing touchdowns and total offense.

“I’ve loved my time at Chadron,” Holst said. “I wouldn’t even start to speculate what my career would been like. There will always be some more wins and some games you’d like to maybe change the outcome of but honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing.”

Eagles wrestle in two places u By Mackenzie Dahlberg Sports Editor

Photo by Mackenzie Dahlberg

Quade Smith, freshman of Layton, Utah, pulls his opponent down toward the mat during the men’s wrestling dual against Northeastern Junior College, Nov. 1 in the Chicoine Center.

The men’s wrestling team competed at two different locations, the first against the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in Lincoln, Thursday, and another at the Dakota Wesleyan Open, in Mitchell, South Dakota, Saturday.

Facing off against the Huskers, the Eagles only won two of the 10 duals to take their first loss of the season, 31-9.

“Wrestling a Division I power like Nebraska, it was encouraging to see our guys wrestle hard,” Brett Hunter, head men’s wrestling coach, said. “The effort was there and that’s probably what I’m most excited for moving forward is the effort. I thought they did a good job with that.”

Quade Smith, freshman of Layton, Utah, pinned his Husker opponent Jeremiah Reno, freshman of Kansas City, Missouri, in the third period to start the day strong for the Eagles, scoring six team points.

“When the ref called the pin, I was super excited that I had beat the kid more than anything,” Smith said.

“It made me feel more confident in my abilities to help this team succeed and made me feel good about my potential to come.”

Smith received the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Wrestler of the Week honors due to his strong performance against Reno.

Adding three more points for the Eagles was Eli Hinojosa, redshirt junior of Imperial, who wrestled for a decision win, 6-2.

The closest Eagle to taking his match was Darwin Hull, freshman of Schertz, Texas, who took a decision loss by one point to Tahjae Jenkins-Harris, freshman of North Las Vegas, Nevada, 5-4.

Three of the six wrestlers who traveled to Mitchell, South Dakota, split their matches and finished the Dakota Wesleyan Open in the quarterfinals.

Hunter said that because of some confusion, and thinking their wrestlers had an extra pound when in the end they didn’t, put wrestlers in a different weight class than what they should’ve been in.

“Honestly, I thought they wrestled well, obviously we hoped that they would’ve placed but they’re there to get matches and I think that’s what they did,” he said.

“The biggest thing for those guys is to continue to get matches in, so we’re sending guys all over the place every week just to get matches in.”

In the 149-pound bracket, Ethan Leake, redshirt sophomore of Clovis, California, started off his day with two decision wins, 13-6 in his first dual and 11-9 in his second. He finished the tournament 2-2 with a technical fall and a decision loss.

The other two Eagles to have a 2-2 record at the tournament were both in the 285-pound weight class, Terry Winstead, redshirt junior of Harrah, Oklahoma, and Gavin Peitzmeier, redshirt sophomore of Omaha.

Winstead pinned his first opponent a minute and 14 seconds into the match before moving onto his next match to take a major decision win, 9-0. He was then pinned in 24 seconds in his third dual and took a decision loss to Fort Hays State University’s Tony Caldwell, freshman of Wichita, Kansas, in his last match, 9-4.

Peitzmeier started his day with a tie breaker win, 6-3, and his second match was a decision win, 3-1. He then went up against two Southwest Minnesota State University wrestlers and was pinned by Jacob Dykes, junior of Iowa City, Iowa, in his third dual at 1:41 and took a major decision loss to Neil Hanson, senior of Milaca, Minnesota, 11-3.

After the busy weekend, CSC men’s wrestling team continues its schedule for the Holiday Inn Open in Kearney, at 8 a.m., Saturday.
