Student organizations reflect on Homecoming experiences

By MARY BETH HOLM Staff Writer

Texas Tech’s Homecoming Week came to a close on Saturday, Oct. 21, with a loss to the Iowa State University Cyclones and the crowning of the Homecoming king and queen.

Throughout the week, numerous organizations, both Greek and nonGreek, participated in the week’s Homecoming events.

Sadie Bowling, a junior companion animal science major from Austin, was the Homecoming coordinator for Sigma Alpha. The organization teamed up with FarmHouse and decided on “Quest for Camelot” for their theme.

The two organizations worked on the banner, the board and the Homecoming float. Bowling said they faced some adversity because both organizations are smaller in size compared to other organizations.

“It was a ton of work,” Bowling said. “but (it was) worth it in the end and got to bond with our organization.”

Being Homecoming coordinator had its ups and downs, Bowling said. While she dealt with external factors, the other members of Sigma Alpha stepped up to piece everything together.

“Overall, I think that Homecoming brought us together,” Bowling said, “and gave us lots of opportunity to help each other out.”

Colleen Hunt, a senior dance and advertising dual major from Duncanville, is the vice president

of Dancers with Soul. Dancers with Soul chose “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” for its theme and won the student organization division of S.O. Sing for the third year in a row.

“It’s basically a tradition now,” Hunt said. “Also, S.O. Sing is a dance competition, so it’s a perfect way for us to get involved.”

Dancers with Soul participated in the parade and did the spirit board for the first time. It takes the organization about three to four weeks to prepare for S.O. Sing, Hunt said, and the organization’s historian painted the board within a week.

Dawn Warren, a junior biology major from Strasburg, Colorado, is the president of the Tech Feral Cat Coalition. This is the first year the organization participated in Homecoming events, Warren said. The coalition chose “Skippyjon Jones” as its theme. In its debut year, the organization had two candidates in the Homecoming Court: Britton Gallardo and Trevor Lansdell.

This is a big step for the Tech Feral Cat Coalition, Warren said, because at this time last year, it only had seven members.

“Now, we have about 70,” Warren said. “I’m pretty proud of seeing how the club has grown and the type of people who’ve come out to help the campus cats and help to make sure the cats are taken care of.”

Details of the events leading up to the fatal shooting of Texas Tech Police Officer Floyd East Jr. were released in four Lubbock County search warrants.

The warrants were issued by Lubbock County for Hollis Alvin Daniels III’s residence hall, cell phone, car and DNA. Daniels has been charged with capital murder for allegedly shooting East on Monday, Oct. 9.

According to the warrant for Daniels’ Talkington Residence Hall dorm room, East, Tech PD Officer Tyler Snelson and Tech PD Lt. Mark Haney responded to reports of a gunshot in Daniels’ room in Talkington. After talking to Daniels, the officers found Xanax and other unidentified tablets, which led to them placing Daniels in handcuffs and transporting him to Tech PD headquarters for questioning.

While at Tech PD, Daniels allegedly shot East and left the premises, while Snelson was not in the room.

Campus, local, state and federal law-enforcement officers searched campus for Daniels, according to the warrant, and he was found near the Lubbock Municipal Coliseum approximately 90 minutes later.

Along the path Daniels is believed to have taken once leaving Tech PD, a gun with casings matching the one used to shoot East was found in a box, according to the warrant. A body cam, believed to be East’s, was also located near the location of Daniels’ arrest, according to the warrant.

Daniels told officers he called his mother after leaving Tech PD, according to the warrant. Daniels currently faces charges for capital murder as well as federal charges for possession of a stolen firearm. @McKenziMorrisDT

Community fundraises for Officer East’s family

By RYANN RAEL Staff Writer

In the weeks after Officer Floyd East Jr.’s death, several fundraisers have been put together, the proceeds of which go to East’s family. East is survived by his wife Carmen and two daughters, Ana and Monica.

Kyle Jacobson, a public administration graduate student from Austin, set up a GoFundMe on Thursday, Oct. 12. His initial goal was $1,000, which he pledged to match. The account was set up at 10 a.m., and a few hours later the account had surpassed its goal of $1,000. By the end of the day, the account had raised more than $5,000, Jacobson said.

“A lot of people in the Lubbock community and also in El Paso started sharing it on social media, and the officer ’s friends and family saw it, and so they started sharing it, as well,” he said.

As of Sunday, Oct. 22, the GoFundMe account had $15,660 worth of donations from 261 people a n d h a d a ro und 1,500 Facebook shares.

Donations ranged from $5 to $1,000, and Jacobson said he is grateful to everyone who donated.

“It was really a tremendous show of support from people all over West Texas,” he said. “I’m really thankful for everyone who made the campaign so successful.”

Another student, Kal e b Wa t k i n s , a s o p h o more natural resource management major from Midland, partnered with the Student Government Association to sell stickers and decals from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 20.

All the proceeds went to the East family.

“Whenever this happened, I just reached out on Twitter to the Student Government Association, and they got back to me right away. They were

super excited,” Watkins said. “And I made all these decals for them, free of charge, and now we are selling them to people.”

Watkins raised several hundred dollars after only two hours.

One Guy Pizza on University Avenue also hosted a fundraiser on Thursday, Oct. 19. Half the proceeds of the day were given to the East family.

Joe Felicia, owner of One Guy Pizza on University Avenue, said he felt compelled to do something to help the family for several reasons.

“First one was being a retired police officer myself. The second one was Officer East was a customer and having him come in and knowing him,” he said. “And, the third one was having this happen in our backyard, right across the street.”

The day was a huge success, Felicia said, and it was one of the busiest

McConnell says he’s awaiting Trump guidance on health care STERLING, Va. (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday he’s willing to bring bipartisan health care legislation to the floor if President Donald Trump makes clear he supports it.

A proposal by two senators - Republican Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Democrat Patty Murray of Washington - would extend for two years federal insurance payments that Trump has blocked, in an effort to stabilize insurance markets.

But Trump has offered mixed signals, alternately praising and condemning the effort - confusing Democrats and Republicans alike.

Asked whether he would bring the bill to the floor McConnell said on CNN’s “State

of the Union” that he was waiting “to hear from President Trump what kind of health care bill he might sign.”

“If there’s a need for some kind of interim step here to stabilize the market, we need a bill the president will actually sign. And I’m not certain yet what the president is looking for here, but I will be happy to bring a bill to the floor if I know President Trump would sign it,” the Republican said. He added of Trump: “I think he hasn’t made a final decision.”

The plan unveiled last week likely has 60 votes in the Senate, mostly from Democrats, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Sunday urged McConnell to bring it to the floor “immediately, this week.”

Freshman Brit Kerr releases debut album

By JARET THURSTON Staff Writer

Brit Kerr’s career did not start out like that of most artists. While welding dumpsters for his father, making minimum wage, Kerr decided to look for another job.

Struggling to find a place that was hiring, Kerr said he decided to look into creating music because he had been playing the guitar since he was 8 years old.

Kerr, a freshman public relations student from Waco, released his first career album “Careless Kids - EP” on Wednesday, Oct. 18.

Kerr said when he decided to start creating music, he started by buying the necessary equipment and began making music at the age of 16. At 17, Kerr received his first paid gig at the Lakeside Tavern in Waco, playing for a crowd of 20 people.

“I was too nervous to talk

into the microphone, and the only people on the stage were me and my best friend, who learned how to play the harmonica the week before,” he said.

Kerr has moved on and has performed all around the Waco area, opening for a number of notable country artists, including Josh Abbott, Cody Canada and Charlie Robison.

He said his favorite show was when he opened for Roger Creager at The Backyard Bar Stage and Grill in Waco.

“It was the first time all my friends could come see me play because it was the first venue that allowed people under 21 into the show,” Kerr said. “It was the most electric crowd that I had ever played for at the time.”

Kerr said once he was a student at Texas Tech, he began to play around the Lubbock area. His notable performances include those in the Bar PM and Alpha Tau Omega’s philanthropy event

Gatorfest, alongside Koe Wetzel and Flatland Calvary.

Jonathan Kazanas, a junior construction management major from Waco who served as Alpha Tau Omega’s Gatorfest chairman, met Kerr through mutual friends in Waco. After playing multiple gigs together, Kazanas said he decided to book Kerr as an opener for the event.

“He’s an up-and-coming artist with a lot of talent and passion for his craft,” he said.

“Not only is he an amazing country artist, but he’s an amazing friend. I have yet to meet a single person who had a bad thing to say about Kerr. He has already started writing again in hopes of releasing more content soon.”

Kerr’s first album “Careless Kids - EP” is available on Apple Music and Spotify. It includes the first songs he ever wrote. He said he began recording the album in late July.

“My favorite song on the album is ‘This Dance’ because

COURTESY OF BRIT KERR

it’s a combination of old and new country,” Kerr said.

Case Campbell, a freshman marketing major from Frisco, met Kerr in August and began hanging out with him in their

dorm. Kerr would often play his music for Campbell and any others who wanted to hear him.

Throughout their friendship, Campbell said he has seen the amount of work that

Kerr has put into his career.

“Kerr has a passion and the drive he implements into his music is a sight that I’ve seen from other musical artists,” Campbell said. “His creativity is nothing more than a clear reflection of his musical desires and the dream he strives for.”

Kerr said his biggest inspiration is either Pat Green or Jerry Jeff Walker because he likes their carefree attitude and how they did not want to be anyone but themselves. That attitude influenced his album title, “Careless Kids.”

“The advice I would give to anyone looking to start their music career is: trust the process,” Kerr said. “I was listening to music I recorded in May. It sounded atrocious, but with listening to advice from friends and continuing to work hard, it seemed like everything fell into place like it was supposed to for the album.” @DailyToreador

Texas Tech, UMC Trauma Center saves local man

By CANDICE CLARK la vida editor

The Texas Tech Health Sciences Center/UMC Trauma Center was put into action on Tuesday, Oct. 17, between the towns of Plainview and Floydada.

According to the TTUHSC news release, Leo Martinez, 59, became trapped in a grain auger, which severely crushed his legs.

Steven Brooks, a trauma surgeon at University Medical Center in Lubbock, was one of the surgeons called to help the first responders unit after they were unable to free Mr. Martinez from the auger.

“Mr. Martinez was stuck, and the EMS team couldn’t get him out, and they were concerned about his safety,” he said. “Dr. Christopher Piel, the UMC Emergency director, called me and asked

me to go as the EMS guys were really worried and they couldn’t get him free.”

Brooks said he prepared to go with Andres Leal, a chief resident at UMC, in a helicopter that would take them out to the site.

“The OR team put together a kit, so we could fit everything on the helicopter,” Brooks said.

“The blood bank put together several coolers so we could replace the patient’s blood. We like to try to take the operating room out to the patient.”

When Brooks and the UMC team arrived at the site, Mr. Martinez was still trapped in the auger. Brooks said EMS had tried to remove him without success, so they set up an IV to keep Mr. Martinez sedated and relaxed.

“When we got out there, we thought we would have to amputate his leg or amputate the left foot. Mr. Martinez

COURTESY OF TEXAS TECH HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER

had very serious injuries, his soft tissue was completely crushed,” he said. “Fortunately, we were able to blow torch the housing screws on the auger, peel it back and get him out.”

According to the news release, the emergency team consisted of EMS from Lockney, the Floydada Fire Department and the team from UMC.

After the metal housing of the auger was peeled away from Mr. Martinez, first responders were able to place him into a rescue basket, which was lifted out of the 20-foot-tall auger by the helicopter. Mr. Martinez was then taken to UMC in Lubbock.

“We thought we would have to amputate his left leg mid-thigh, but we did

not have to actually amputate,” Brooks said. “His arterial blood supply was intact.

Dr. Brindley, our pediatric surgeon, operated on his wounds, and performed a complete amputation of his foot, but Mr. Martinez has both of his legs.”

Brooks said Mr. Martinez will need more treatment in the future.

“His recovery will take a lot of time,” he said. “He will need surgeries and physical therapy to figure out his final physical status. We’re hopeful for his continued recovery.

EMS and first responders performed so well, and I’m very proud of everyone who put their heads together and figured this out. I’m proud we have this team at the Level 1 Trauma Center at Texas Tech.”

Christopher Piel, the director of the Emergency Unit at UMC, said the

UMC Level 1 Trauma Center was the first unit in the state to receive the Texas Department of Health Level 1 Trauma designation. The unit is Lubbock’s only Level 1 Trauma Center.

“To handle trauma like we do, we have to take a variety of patients between Denver and Dallas. We have to be able to think fast, be creative and flexible. We have to use all of our resources and take our surgeons and go out into the field like we did with Mr. Martinez.” Piel said. “I think it’s just phenomenal that we can provide that care to Lubbock and to our entire region. We are a team of people who will come together to do whatever it takes to save a life. It’s a testament to how wonderfully the team can adapt and improvise and perform at such a high level to save somebody.” @CandiceClarkDT

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Tech home for all political ideologies

I

t’s no surprise that universities as of late, since the election, have become hotbeds for progressive politics.

Many universities across Texas have started to embrace progressive politics in their ideological outlook and stance, and even Texas Tech has

Emmanuel Quinones is a student at Texas Tech

started to show signs of this ideological shift.

However, Tech is not at the point many other universities are at, embracing controversial policies that unintentionally

alienate minorities of different ideological thought.

If you sense this shift and you are conservative, libertarian or classically liberal on campus, there’s no need to hit the panic button. It’s important to note that although universities have shifted leftward, not all progressives

are hell-bent on destroying free speech and freedom of thought.

And not all progressives are organizing anti-Trump rallies to gain more traction politically toward liberal policies.

Now that Tech seems to expand enrollment numbers at breakneck growth,

Former presidents call for TV host Letterman unity at hurricane aid concert honored with Mark Twain Prize AUSTIN, (AP) — The five living former presidents put aside politics and appeared together for the first time since 2013 at a concert on Saturday to raise money for victims of devastating hurricanes in Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Democrats Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter and Republicans George H.W. and George W. Bush gathered in College Station, Texas, home of Texas A&M University, to try to unite the country after the storms.

Texas A&M is home to the presidential library of the elder Bush. At 93, he has a form of Parkinson’s disease and appeared in a wheelchair at the event. His wife, Barbara, and George W. Bush’s wife, Laura, were in the audience.

Grammy award winner Lady Gaga made a surprise appearance at the concert that also featured country music band Alabama, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer ‘Soul Man’ Sam Moore, gospel legend Yolanda Adams and Texas musicians Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen.

The appeal backed by the ex-presidents has

raised $31 million since it began on Sept. 7, said Jim McGrath, spokesman for George H.W. Bush.

President Donald Trump offered a video greeting that avoided his past criticism of the former presidents and called them “some of America’s finest public servants.”

“This wonderful effort reminds us that we truly are one nation under God, all unified by our values and devotion to one another,” Trump said in the greeting, played during the concert.

Four of the five former presidents — Obama, George W. Bush, Carter and Clinton — made brief remarks that did not mention Trump. The elder Bush did not speak but smiled and waved to the crowd. They appealed for national unity to help those hurt by the hurricanes.

“The heart of America, without regard to race or religion or political party, is greater than our problems,” said Clinton.

The last time the five were together was in 2013, when Obama was still in office, at the dedication of George W. Bush’s presidential library in Dallas.

There is precedent for for-

mer presidents joining forces for post-disaster fundraising.

George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton raised money together after the 2004 South Asia tsunami and Hurricane Katrina the next year. Clinton and George W. Bush combined to seek donations after Haiti’s 2011 earthquake.

“It’s certainly a triple, if not a home run, every time,” said Brandon Rottinghaus, a political science professor at the University of Houston. “Presidents have the most powerful and prolific fundraising base of any politician in the world.

When they send out a call for help, especially on something that’s not political, they can rake in big money.”

Amid criticism that his administration was initially slow to aid ravaged Puerto Rico, Trump accused island leaders of “poor leadership,” and later tweeted that, “Electric and all infrastructure was disaster before hurricanes” while saying that Federal Emergency Management Agency, first-responders and military personnel wouldn’t be able to stay there forever.

But Rottinghaus said ex-presidents are seen as less polarizing than the current president.

Cub Scout kicked out after asking about guns DENVER (AP) — A Cub Scout was kicked out of his group after he questioned a Colorado state lawmaker about gun control and previous contentious comments she made about African-Americans.

It’s the latest political flashpoint for the Boy Scouts, of which the Cub Scouts is a part.

His time slot immediately following Carson’s “The Tonight Show” allowed Letterman to draw a huge following of young, largely college-age viewers seeking an alternative to the somewhat staid Carson model.

Letterman introduced the country to fringe musical acts that might never have received an opportunity on “The Tonight Show.”

His humor was undeniably intelligent, but also at times surrealistic and silly. He pioneered segments called Stupid Pet Tricks and Stupid Human Tricks. He tossed watermelons and other objects off a five-story building; at one point, he wore a suit made of Velcro and jumped onto a Velcro-covered wall, sticking in place.

Following his brother’s example, Sendegeya said he picked up the racket at the young age of 3 and has not put it down since.

“My mom and dad had work, so they had to drop us off at summer camp,” Sendegeya, a native of Liverpool, England, said. “Then, I was playing the game every week, every weekend, and my love for it continued to grow.”

As Sendegeya’s career moved forward, he quickly made a name for himself, earning the No. 1 juniors rating from Great Britain's Lawn Tennis Association and being ranked as high as the No. 74 junior in the world, according to Tech Athletics.

With his distinguished pre-collegiate achievements, Sendegeya was heavily sought after during recruitment, but Sendegeya said he decided to come to Lubbock.

“I felt really loved and wanted here at Tech,” Sendegeya said. “The guys on the team made me feel like family,

1. so it was an easy decision.”

As a freshman, Sendegeya quickly made a name for himself. By contributing to the second-most wins on the team with 21, he paved the way for a decorated collegiate career.

In the 2016 season, Sendegeya earned his spot on the All-Big 12 Second Team for singles, All-Big 12 Academic First Team, Big 12 AllTournament Team for singles and doubles, and finished the year ranked No. 65 by the

ITA for doubles play, according to Tech Athletics. In 2017, he was named to the Big 12 All-Tournament Team.

Since joining the Red Raider roster, Sendegeya has proved to be a dependable athlete and role model. His teammate and good friend, junior Bjorn Thomson, said Sendegeya has made an influence on the entire team.

“He’s a huge part of the team and brings so much energy to every practice, but he knows how to keep a sense

“During the matches, he’s one of the guys you look to, to get motivated. You can always see him with his chest out.”

Sendegeya is recognized as an outstanding player and person not only by his teammates but also by Tech coach Brett Masi, who has guided Sendegeya through his entire career at Tech.

“Alex is one of the most polarizing people I’ve ever met,” Masi said. “He just has a way about him that guys gravitate

towards him. For example, a main reason why Bjorn and Tommy (Mylnikov) came to Texas Tech is because Alex was here already. Last year, when he was playing doubles with Bjorn and they were a top-30 doubles team but we needed some depth at number three doubles, it was Alex who came to me and said, ‘Let me play with Jackson Cobb, and we will win.’ He always puts

the team first, and that’s something very different in the sport of tennis.”

Tech has been preparing for Sendegeya’s last opportunity at the ITA Texas Regionals, which he said was the biggest competition a Texas school can compete in.

Last year, Sendegeya fought hard to reach the doubles semifinals, with then-freshman Jackson Cobb. Now, he is ready to represent Tech one last time.

“We’re on the map, and we want to do big things this year,” Sendegeya said. “Regionals is the place to show other good teams how good you really are, so I’m hoping to put on another good performance for these guys.”

With this being Sendegeya’s final season as part of Tech’s tennis team, he will have one more chance to give the Red Raiders his all.

“Now that he’s a senior, I know he wants to make his mark on this program,” Masi said. “I hope he can have a great senior year, and this team can lift him up this time to help achieve some of the goals we have set.” @JamesLossDT

Falk leads No. 15 Washington State over Colorado P U L L M A N , Wa s h .

(AP) — Faced with driving rain, winds and low temperatures, the Air Raid offense of No. 15 Washington State converted to a ground game.

The Cougars rushed for 194 yards and quarterback Luke Falk threw for three touchdowns in a 28-0 victory over Colorado on Saturday night.

Jamal Morrow rushed for 73 yards and a touchdown for Washington State (7-1, 4-1 Pac-12), which rebounded from a 34-point loss at California that coach Mike Leach called the worst game the Cougars have played in his six years there.

"It's an improvement," Leach said. "Our team

played hard. We missed some opportunities."

Leach acknowledged the weather was brutal.

"The first half was pretty extreme," Leach said.

"The wind was blowing and all the swirling rain makes it tough."

Phillip Lindsay rushed for 98 yards for Colorado (4-4, 1-4), which was coming off its

first Pac-12 win. Lindsay came in needing just five yards to top 1,000 for the season.

"It's incredibly hard to shut anybody out," Leach said.

Goran Dragic scored 23 points, Waiters added 19 and the Heat needed to scramble down the stretch to hold off the Indiana Pacers 112-108 on Saturday night.

The Heat led by as many as 21 before seeing nearly all of that disappear in the final minutes.

"If you win by one, you got the win and that's all that matters," Waiters said.

"We shouldn't have put ourselves in that situation."

O'Reilly scores in OT to rally Sabres past Bruins, 5-4 BOSTON (AP) — The Buffalo Sabres hope their exciting victory can turn around what's been a slow start so far.

Ryan O'Reilly scored 2:59 into overtime to give the Sabres a 5-4 win over the Boston Bruins on Saturday night, capping a comeback from a pair of three-goal deficits.

Former Boston University star and Hobey Baker winner Jack Eichel had a goal for the Sabres. Jason Pominville, Benoit Pouliot and Evander Kane also scored for Buffalo, which has just one regulation win this season. Robin Lehner stopped 27 shots.

“I think we need to use this game as an example of what it takes to win a hockey game,” Eichel said.

Tech aims to break losing streak

By GABRIELLE TAITE Staff Writer

After two consecutive losses to top ranked opponents, the Texas Tech volleyball team is looking to make changes and improve before its next match.

The Red Raiders were recently shut out, 3-0, to the No. 11 Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday, Oct. 21, in Lawrence, Kansas, according to Tech Athletics.

This is the team’s second consecutive loss in the Big 12 Conference, with the first loss coming from the No. 4 Texas Longhorns, 3-0, on Wednesday, Oct. 18, in the United Supermarkets Arena, according to Tech Athletics.

This season, the Red Raiders have an overall record of 13-8 and a home record of 6-1, according to Tech Athletics. Tech has faltered on the road with an away record of 3-6 and a conference play record of 2-6.

Losing to top ranked op-

ponents is difficult, junior libero Reyn “Tita” Akiu said.

However, it’s nice to be underestimated and try to pull out the win.

“I think (opponents) see that we’re on the come up,” Akiu said. “I still think they’ll probably underestimate us, but that’s just because they’re like the top five team in the nation. I think that will work out in our favor though, because we’re the underdogs. No one expects much from us.”

Tech coach Tony Graystone said the team could have done a lot of things differently in the match against Texas and avoided each loss this season.

“In the first set, I felt like we played really good ball. We were up 24-21, and that’s a set we’ve got to close out,” Graystone said. “We let them off the hook for sure, and they made some good plays to steal it.”

Before the losing streak, Tech was able to defeat TCU

would like to see Tech bounce back from the losses, rather than fall in future matches.

“I’d like to have seen us respond better,” Graystone said. “I’d like to have seen what would have happened if we had taken the first set the way we should have.”

Despite the many losses to tough opponents, Graystone said he is still hopeful for the fate of the Red Raiders. He does not care who the team is playing as long as it gives its best effort. “ We d o f e e l g o o d a t home, and our play has been so much better at the

arena,” Graystone said. “I think it’s all a part of a rebuild of a program. You have to start by taking care of your house, and then go from there. The team has done a good job of that regardless of who we have been playing.” @GabbyTaiteDT

Saints recover late to topple Packers, 26-17 GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Drew Brees threw for a touchdown and ran for another, Mark Ingram rushed for a score and the New Orleans Saints overcame several mistakes to beat the Green Bay Packers 26-17 on Sunday.

Will Lutz kicked two

second-half field goals, including a 44-yarder to put New Orleans up for good 19-17 with 10:26 left in the game. Brees' 1-yard sneak gave the Saints a two-score lead with 4:55 left.

The sloppy Saints were fortunate to get their fourth straight victory. The Pack-

ers lost their first game with Brett Hundley starting at quarterback for injured star Aaron Rodgers.

New Orleans' defense gave up a 46-yard touchdown run to rookie Aaron Jones on the opening drive. Brees was picked off twice in the first quarter. Lutz had a blocked extra point and New Orleans (4-2) was penalized seven times for 80 yards.

But the Saints pulled away late at overcast Lambeau Field, scoring on four second-half drives before running out the clock.

After holding the Packers (4-3) to a three-and-out inside the 20, New Orleans drove 55 yards in eight plays to seal the game with Brees' sneak over the goal line.

Brees finished 27 of 38 for 331 yards with a touchdown.

Ingram ran for 105 yards on 22 carries.

Trailing late, the Packers couldn't muster big plays late without Rodgers. He's out indefinitely with a broken right collarbone.

Instead, coach Mike McCarthy turned to a running game that initially threw off the Saints.

Jones had 131 yards on 17 carries. Hundley showed toughness in running for a 14-yard score to give Green Bay a 14-7 lead with 8:37 left in the second quarter.

But the Packers managed just a 46-yard field goal from Mason Crosby in the second half, which gave them a brief 17-16 lead.

The Saints took over from there, and the Packers couldn't keep up through the air.

Hundley finished 12 of 25 for 87 yards. He was intercepted by safety Kenny Vaccaro on a deep ball down the middle of the field with 4:20 left, ending the Packers' comeback bid.

Defense shines amid homecoming loss

By ALEXA BOUTWELL Sports Editor

Despite being on a twogame losing streak and falling to Iowa State on Homecoming weekend, the Texas Te c h d e f e n s e d i s p l a y e d its ability to keep the Red Raiders in contention.

In the 31-13 loss to Iowa State on Saturday, Oct. 21, at Jones AT&T Stadium, the Red Raider offense could only manage two touchdowns against the Cyclones, who limited Tech’s scoring ability.

“It’s two years in a row we’ve came out and had a bad performance on Homecoming,” junior defensive back Jah’shawn Johnson said. “We should apologize to our fans for it. We’ve got five more games, a lot of chances to get better.”

Senior quarterback Nic Shimonek struggled on the field throwing 31 for 41 and 207 yards along with one interception. Shimonek relied on the run game and did not connect with any receiver for a touchdown.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said he did not put the blame on Shimonek; it was just an off day for the Red Raider offense as a whole.

“There was some tough sledding there at the end, where you are having to

throw, they are dropping all those guys. You’re playing right into their hands,” Kingsbury said. “But, you know, handled himself well.

I thought for the most part got us into the right plays.

We were off offensively.”

Early in the game, Tech came up with the rushing touchdown from junior running back Desmond Nisby. However, the missed point after touchdown only put Tech up, 6-0, in the first quarter.

The missed point was a flashback to the mistakes made in the 46-35 loss to West Virginia on Saturday, Oct. 14, in Morgantown, West Virginia.

“I mean, you like to hit it, obviously. We were very poor in the red zone,” Kingsbury said.

However, the Red Raiders defense kept the team from losing by an even greater margin. The defense pressured the Cyclones quarterback, Kyle Kempt, after forcing one interception early in the game and three quarterback hurries.

“I thought defense continued to give us an opportunity to get back in that game,” Kingsbury said. “Offensively, we didn’t execute well the entire day.”

As a unit, Tech’s defense

mean, we let them out in the second half,” Johnson said. “We went out there trying to create a turnover, didn’t wrap up. You saw he broke out for a good run.

But it shouldn’t even have got to that point.”

The defense got the momentum going at the start of the game with an interception by sophomore defensive back Justus Parker, who ran the ball for 34

yards and 7 yards short of a touchdown.

“I felt like we were dragging for whatever reason, not getting it going,” Kingsbury said. “J.P. (Justus Parker) made that play early. You thought that would have got us going. But they came right back and scored.

Then, offensively, we were sluggish the whole day.”

Regardless of suffering two-consecutive losses,

senior wide receiver Cameron Batson was optimistic about the upcoming games and said he has faith the offense will respond in the next one.

“I have total confidence in my team, no matter if we’re winning or losing,” Batson said. “These are guys I fight with each and every day, work out with, eat, sleep, pretty much do everything.” @ABoutwellDT

Astros reach World Series, top No. 23 West Virginia survives Yankees 4-0 in Game 7 of ALCS game against Baylor, 38-36 HOUSTON (AP) — Jose Altuve embraced Justin Verlander as confetti rained down. An improbable thought just a few years ago, the Houston Astros are headed to the World Series.

Charlie Morton and Lance McCullers Jr. combined on a three-hitter, Altuve and Evan Gattis homered and the Astros reached the World Series for only the second time by blanking the New York Yankees 4-0 Saturday night in Game 7 of the AL Championship Series.

Next up for the Astros: Game 1 against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night. Los Angeles opened as a narrow favorite, but Verlander, the ALCS MVP , and fellow Houston ace Dallas Keuchel will have plenty of rest before the World Series begins at sweltering Dodger Stadium.

“I love our personality,” Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. “We have the right amount of fun, the right amount of seriousness, the right amount of perspective when we need

it. This is a very, very unique group. To win 100 games and still be hungry is pretty remarkable.”

The Astros will try for their first World Series title, thanks in large part to Altuve , the diminutive second baseman who swings a potent bat, and Verlander, who switched teams for the first time in his career to chase a ring.

Four years removed from their third straight 100-loss season in 2013, the Astros shut down the Yankees on consecutive nights after dropping three in a row in the Bronx.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Nobody has to tell West Virginia coach Dana Holgerson that Baylor can put up points in a hurry. The Mountaineers gave up 62 and 73 points in their first two trips to Waco.

But Holgerson didn’t expect his team would need to stop a two-point conversion and recover an onside kick to win after carrying a 25-point lead into the fourth quarter all while facing a freshman quarterback.

That’s exactly what happened, though. Xavier Preston sacked Charlie Brewer

on a two-point try with 17 seconds left and No. 23 West Virginia withstood a furious fourth-quarter Baylor rally to escape with a 38-36 win Saturday night.

“At the end of the day we made a play at the end, and then we recovered the onside kick,” Holgerson said.

“That’s two years in a row we’ve recovered an onside kick against these guys to seal the games. I’m proud of the way the guys did that. So we’ll take the win, and we’re excited to get out for the first time with a win.”

Will Grier threw for five touchdowns to pad his national lead with 26 for the Mountaineers (5-2, 3-1 Big 12), who led 38-13 at the start of the fourth quarter.

That’s when Brewer entered the game for Baylor and began to turn things around with his scrambling ability.

He was 8-for-13 passing for 109 yards and two touchdowns and fellow freshman Treston Ebner had 109 yards and two touchdowns receiving and a 40-yard scoring run.
