Lewis-Clark State CollegePress Release

Lewis-Clark State College’s Erika Allen, director of College Advancement, has been appointed by Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter to serve on the Idaho Commission on Hispanic Affairs.

Allen, who came to LCSC a year ago after serving as the Director of Development for the Northwest Children’s Home in Lewiston, has accepted the position and expresses excitement about her newly assigned responsibilities.

“It is a honor to serve in a leadership capacity for the Idaho Commission on Hispanic Affairs,” said Allen. “The Commission’s focus of addressing educational, health services, economic, and public policy needs specific to Idaho’s growing Hispanic community is a cause I am passionate about.”

“I can’t think of anyone more qualified,” LCSC President J.

Anthony Fernandez said. “Erika has been actively involved in many public service roles and this will only add to her exceptional resume as a leader.”

The Idaho Commission on Hispanic Affairs is a non-partisan state agency which provides services to the Hispanic Community and serves as a liaison between the community and government entities. It lists its mission statement as: “Working toward economic, educational, and social equality, the Commission identifies and monitors programs and legislation, and researches problems and issues facing Idaho’s Hispanic community. The Commission identifies solutions and provides recommendations to the governor, legislature, and other organizations concerning issues facing the State’s Hispanic population.”

“Being of Mexican-American decent, I personally identify with the advocacy and public policy

work of the Idaho Commission on Hispanic Affairs,” Allen said. “What better way to give back to my community than to be part of a team that is playing a vital role in shaping the future of our state.”

Allen’s duties include gathering and disseminating information; conducting hearings, conferences, and special studies; stimulating public awareness; coordinating with and assisting other public and private organizations that serve Hispanic people; serving as an advisor to the governor, legislature, and other state departments; and proposing and evaluating programs and

prospective legislation.More information about the

Commission can be found at icha.idaho.gov. Allen can be contacted directly for comment at 208-792-2457 or [email protected].

OpiniOnSpring is just around the corner and the fever is catching.These beautiful days are getting me extremely excited for the warmer

weather and new adventures. I’m in the process of moving out of my parents’ house for the first time, and just in time for spring cleaning. The weather is giving me an energy to fix up the place we are moving to, and my family and boyfriend feel the same.

We are all pitching in and the little house is really starting to come together nicely. It’s a brand new jouney and I’m more than ready to take it on.

It’s second semester and lots of people seem to be losing their motivation. Those times we used to spend studying hard and diligently doing our homework, have suddenly turned into mid-day naps and TV show marathons. I hear more and more people saying they “should really be doing their homework right now.”

Where is the motivation, and how do we get it back? Motivational sayings like “Just do it!” just aren’t doing it for people anymore. Coffee is practically water to us, and energy drinks are a laugh. We’re slowly losing our motivation, but we can’t lose it so early in the semester! We can’t let those early classes and piles of homework kick us while we’re down! So, if anyone wants to help me discover that missing motivation, maybe we can get around to that tomorrow.

By Hayley Calvertof The Pathfinder

It’s human nature to want to categorize things into neat little patterns. We think this is helpful in our busy, hectic lives, and sometimes it is, but more and more people tend to gravitate towards non-beneficial behaviors. As I was standing in line at the grocery store, staring at a container of low fat yogurt, it donned on me that the government keeps trying to put the population into a “one size fits all” nutrition plan. Public schools are implementing “USDA regulated” meals. How weird is it that I’m not allowed to give my son (who has food allergies) his own lunch? This is obviously counterproductive.

According to an article in Scientific American, The Neuroscience of the Gut, “...a comprehensive gene expression analysis of five different brain regions, they found nearly 40 genes that were affected by the presence of gut bacteria. ...these studies suggest that brain-directed behaviors ...may be deeply influenced by that animal’s relationship with the microbial organisms living in its gut (Robert Martone, April 19, 2011, retrieved from http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-neuroscience-of-gut).

People come in all shapes, sizes, colors, personalities and, more specifically, nutritional needs. These differences are what makes everyone unique and, as a whole,

so incredibly adaptable. Why is

it then, that we think it is such a

good idea to group everyone into

two nutritional categories: those

who can eat anything without any

problems and those who need

“special” diets.

We all need special diets,

individualized to each of our own

specific needs. What works for

one person won’t necessarily work

for another. My point is, some

of us need that extra fat content

in our yogurt and some don’t.

It’s not up to the government to

decide our nutrient content.

We’re well on our way through this spring semester, and I feel compelled to express gratitude to all the faculty and staff working behind the scenes. I especially want to thank our amazing instructors, who help to ensure the opportunity of our education, giving us a nudge outside our comfort zones, enabling us to grow, not only as individuals, but also as members of the world community. I, for one, am eternally grateful. Without our instructors and the college institution, many of us would continue on through the adventure of life, never knowing what else was out there, unable to

greatly expand our perspectives. Even though we, as students, may whine and complain about homework, etc., it goes without

saying just how important

everyone working at LCSC truly

is. Thank you.

Thank you to LCSCCOmmentary

Long-awaited movie, Deadpool to release on Feb. 11th

By Amanda Wallaceof The Pathfinder

What do you get when you mix Ryan Reynolds as a sarcastic, foul-mouthed, and terminally ill patient who breaks the fourth wall with scientists? You get the plot of an antihero movie that has been in the works for ten years now. Deadpool is about Wade Wilson, former special forces operative and mercenary, who was diagnosed with cancer. This leaves Wade and his long-time girlfriend Vanessa at a still point in their life together. Wilson has volunteered to be part of a research experiment, which involves painful testing which leaves him with super-healing abilities, but also intense scarring everywhere. This is why he wears the full body suit and mask. While he can now heal himself, his body also rejects any medicine or drugs he puts into it, which is bad news for someone who is mentally unstable. While he was being experimented on, some of the scientists began a “dead

pool,” betting who would be the last to die at the hands of the researchers. So Wilson eventually takes the name Deadpool and vows to get his revenge.

Deadpool is an antihero who many people like, and the reason people are fans of this antihero is because he’s a person who’s been through a lot, but he’s still kicking some serious villains. He would do anything to get back the love of his life, and to get his revenge. This all takes place in the X-men and Avengers universe, so there might also be some familiar faces in the movie. The marketing for the movie has been insane since it began back in August. There have been billboards with Will and Vanessa cozied up to make it look like a romantic comedy. Deadpool will be released in theaters on Feb. 11th. It’s rated R for strong violence, sexual content, and graphic nudity.

Courtesy someecards.comAbove is just one of the many advertisements that came out for the movie. This one makes it seem like just your average Valentine’s Day romantic comedy.

Ever wondered what it would be like to see one of the greatest classics performed live? That’s exactly what FOX accomplished on Jan. 31st with Grease: Live. They made Grease a live performance with a live audience. If you haven’t seen the original, here’s the rundown: Grease is a modern Romeo and Juliet tale, about star-crossed lovers who are separated by high school cliques and the status quo. The cast was star-studded including Julianna Hough as Sandy, Aaron Tviet as Danny, and Vanessa Hudgens as Rizzo. The cast was amazing, and they nailed it. All of the performances stayed with me after watching it.

Hough & Tviet clicked well, together and they played off of each other like Oliva Newton-John and John Travolta in the 19070s movie.

Speaking of the original Danny & Sandy, Tviet’s cues, gestures and portrayal, have been compared to Travolta’s in the film.

Hough and Tviet clicked and worked well together. They played off of each other just like Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta once did in the late 70’s. Tviet’s cues, gestures and portrayl of Danny Zuko have been compared to Travolta’s.

Hudgens has been well known for her role as Gabriella Montez in the High School Musical series, as well as her Broadway work in Gigi. Her performance really stuck with me, because she had lost her father to cancer hours before she went on, and she didn’t break character. She didn’t show any of this grief in her performance. They often say on Broadway when anything goes wrong, “the show must go on,” and that’s what Hudgens did. She also dedicated the show to her father.

The show left me with an overall feeling of content. I wasn’t overjoyed, and I was ready to rush out and get a copy of it. Although I was feeling content, there were some things that bugged me. Some of the original songs were not in the right moments of the show, and they also added some new songs. Nonetheless, I give FOX some props for pulling it off in front of a live audience.

I strongly encourage you to watch Grease: Live yourself, and make your own opinions on whether or not they did the original justice. If anything, it will be worth seeing Vanessa Hudgen’s rare emotional performance. Grease: Live is available for pre-order and will be released on DVD on March 8th.

Unable to get untracked offensively, the Lewis-Clark State College women’s basketball team saw its 11-game win streak come to an end with a 62-54 loss to Montana State-Northern in a matchup of NAIA Top 25 teams at the LCSC Activity Center on Saturday night.

The Warriors, ranked No. 12 in the country, hit only 20-of-54 shots from the field for 37 percent accuracy in the Frontier Conference matchup. That was LCSC’s third lowest shooting percentage in a game this season and its lowest since it shot 28.4 percent on Dec. 5 against Montana Tech, which was LC’s last loss.

LCSC (19-4 overall and 10-2 in conference play) fell behind 12-0 in the contest as the 20th-ranked Skylights (7-5 and 18-5) hit 5-of-6 shots to begin the game. LCSC didn’t get its first points until Brittany Tackett (SO/Coeur d’Alene, Idaho) scored on a drive with 5:13 left in the first quarter.

“I have to give Northern all the credit in the world.” LCSC coach Brian Orr said. “One of the things we really wanted to do was come out with great intensity and we wanted our press to force some turnovers so we could get out to a lead. The worst thing you can do against Montana State-Northern is get behind. The absolute worst thing because they are a poised team. They want to come down and run their patient offense every single possession.”

After Tackett’s bucket, the Warriors managed to force some turnovers and hold MSU-Northern to three points over the next six minutes. That allowed LCSC to go on a 16-3 run and take a 16-15 lead at the end of the first quarter. Junior guard Natahnee Spencer (JR/Lapwai,

Idaho) sparked the Warrior run with six points as she connected on a 3-pointer and also had a steal and a lay-in.

LCSC, however, managed only nine points in the second quarter and found itself trailing 28-25 at halftime. The 25 points tied LCSC’s second lowest point total in the first half this season.

“I am really frustrated at the way we played tonight,” Orr said. “We couldn’t make shots.”

Cydney Auzenne hit a pair of 3-pointers and put the Skylights up by nine at 36-27 early in the third quarter. MSU-Northern then managed to overcome a bevy of turnovers to keep a 41-36 lead entering the final 10 minutes.

Led by Tackett, the Warriors cut the lead to two at 45-43, but MSU-Northern’s Natalee Faupel hit a 3-pointer, scored on a drive to the bucket and made a free throw to put the Skylights up 51-43 with 4:40 left.

The Warriors again fought back and cut the lead to three at 57-54 on a Kaylea Knox (JR/Rainier, Ore.) 3-pointer with 43 seconds left, but Auzenne answered with a 3-pointer with 17 seconds left to ice the game.

For the contest, LCSC made 20-of-54 shots, including just 4-of-23 from the 3-point line (17.4 percent).

“This was one of our worst shooting performances we’ve had, especially in the second half,” Orr said. “We couldn’t’ get into any type of rhythm offensively. And our shooters didn’t make shots.”

MSU-Northern did shot the ball well as it made 21-of-38 attempts for 55.3 percent, including 7-of-15 at the 3-point line. It’s only the second time in league play this season that LC has allowed an opponent to shoot 50 percent or better from the field and both have resulted in losses.

What really hurt LCSC is

that it forced 22 turnovers in the

contest, which allowed it to take

16 more shots from the field.

Despite that, the Skylights made

one more field goal than the

Warriors.

“They shot it extremely well,”

Orr said.. “Every time they

needed a great play they got it. I

have to give them credit.”

Tackett led the Warriors with

14 points, six rebounds, one block

and one steal. Caelyn Orlandi

(JR/Coeur d’Alene, Idaho) also

finished in double figures with

11 points. Orlandi now has 1,108

career points at LCSC, which is

16th on the program’s all-time

scoring list. She’s only 14 points

away from moving into the top

15.

The Warriors start the third

round of conference play next

weekend with a key matchup

against Carroll College on Friday

in Helena, Mont. LCSC plays

each conference foe three times

and Saturday night’s contest

completed the second round of

play. The Warriors play four of

their final six conference games

on the road to end the regular

season.

Cold-shooting Warriors fall to MSU-Northern 62-54


The fifth-ranked Lewis-Clark State College men’s basketball team tied No. 2 Georgetown [Ky.] for the NAIA’s best record with a 92-69 thumping of Frontier Conference opponent, University of Great Falls in front of 1,500 fans in the LCSC Activity Center on Thursday night.

The Warriors improved to 21-2, becoming the fourth NAIA Division I men’s basketball team to reach the plateau, with only Georgetown has done so with two losses. LCSC also kept pace with Carroll atop the conference standings at 9-2 while UGF fell to 10-10 overall and 2-8 in conference play.

“Any win in this league is big,” said Warriors Assistant Coach Austin Johnson. “Different guys stepped up and played really well and as it has been all year, our bench was really good. Derrick [White] and Youssoupha [Kane] gave us some good minutes and Doug [McDaniel] does what he does off the bench and Trea [Thomas] added to his 3-point shooting which was huge.”

Doug McDaniel (JR/Killeen,

Texas) finished the contest with a game-high 21 points including a 5-for-9 mark from behind the 3-point arc while Trea Thomas (SO/East Wenatchee, Wash.) added 12 points. Rich Tesmer (SR/Fresno, Calif.) netted 12 points too and Jacob Wiley (JR/Newport, Wash.) finished with 10 points and five boards. Youssoupha Kane (SR/Thies, Senegal) and Derrick White (FR/Boise, Idaho) each played 13 minutes off the bench contributing eight points and four rebounds, respectively, with the former also grabbing five rebounds.

It was a strong defensive effort in the first half by the Warriors, limiting the Argonauts to just 24 points on 11-of-33 (33.3%) shooting including a 1-of-6 (16.7%) mark from beyond the arc. LCSC’s lockdown defense produced six first half turnovers leading to seven fast break points as the Navy and Red posted 42 points on 14-of-32 shooting (43.8%) while draining 8-of-19 (42.1%) three-pointers.

UGF scored the game’s first points, but never lead again. Lewis-Clark State quickly opened a 10-point lead and pushed the

Warriors post NAIA-best 21st win 92-69 over UGF

It was a tale of two halves for the fifth-ranked Lewis-Clark State College men’s basketball team who scored 42 points in the second half to put away Montana State University – Northern, 68-51 at the LCSC Activity Center on Saturday night.

“I was happy with our guys play in the second half,” said Warriors Head Coach Brandon Rinta. “We put together a couple runs to put some distance between us and them and it really made the difference.”

The win moves the Warriors to 22-2 overall and 10-2 in Frontier Conference play with six games to play, including a first-place showdown in Helena, Mont. on Friday night against Carroll. MSU-Northern falls to 15-9 overall and 4-8 in conference.

It was a back and forth opening 20 minutes that features three ties and six lead chances with LCSC taking the largest lead of seven at the 13:13 mark. Jacob Wiley (JR/Newport, Wash.) get things started for the Warriors but Lights baskets by Warren Edmondson and Ryan Reeves quickly put the visitors in front. Rich Tesmer (SR/Fresno, Calif.) knotted the game at four and sparked a 9-0 run for LCSC. Edmondson hit a three just two minutes later to cap a 12-2 Northern run. The teams traded baskets for the remainder of the half, with Reeves answering a Nick Emerson (SR/Columbia Falls, Mont.) basket to cut the margin to one and Cammie Lewis (SR/Norwalk, Calif.) missed a shot 3-pointer at the buzzer to keep the score 26-25 LC at the break.

“Northern did a good job controlling portions of the game. They are a tough, gritty team and Edmondson is a really good player that deserves some attention,” said Rinta. “Because of what we

tried to do and what they tried to do, it was a rough game for some stretches, but I thought our guys really played well defensively all night long.”

The Lights outshot the Warriors 40.7 percent to 34.4 percent in the first half knocking down 11-of-27 shots to the Warriors 11-of-32 with LC holding a 3-2 edge in 3-pointers. It was a different story in the final 20 minutes as the Warriors converted 14-of-25 from the field (56 %) while going 2-for-2 from three and 12-of-14 from the charity stripe with the defense limiting MSUN to just seven baskets on 26 attempts (26.9%).

“We did the same thing defensively in the second half, we just had a little more pressure and were able to get some big steals and force some turnovers in the full court. Offensively we were able to get some stuff at the rim, get to the line and convert the free throws,” stated Rinta.

That defense limited the visitors to just three points in the first six minutes of the second half, allowing the offense to open up an 11-point, 39-28 lead. The Lights cut the margin back to seven, but Wiley took over, scoring the next five points to push the lead back to 11. The Lights cut the lead to nine twice more, but the Warriors were too much, converting several layups down the stretch to ice the 17-point win.

“This win shows that we don’t have to score in the 90’s to win, we can grind it out and win a defensive battle.”

Wiley finished with his fourth double-double of the season with 15 points and a career-high 14 rebounds, including 11 defensive boards which is also a career-high. Lewis added 14 points and Youssoupha Kane (SR/Thies, Senegal) grabbed eight rebounds to go with five points in 14 minutes off the bench.

“Jake did a great job on the

glass tonight, but it was really a

team effort with different guys

stepping up throughout the

game,” said Rinta. “I thought the

guy who gave us that spark off the

bench was Youssoupha. He was

solid defensively, changed some

shots, rebounded hard and made

some nice shots on the offensive

end. He gave us some valuable

minutes this weekend.”

The Warriors finished the

night 25-of-57 from the field

for 43.9 percent accuracy while

converting 5-of-10 from behind

the arc and going 13-for-16 from

the free throw line (81.3%). The

defense permitted just 18 made

baskets in 53 attempts for MSUN

(34%), including a 4-for-22 mark

from the 3-point arc (18.2%).

LCSC dominated the glass, 43-

26 and tallied eight steals on the

night.

Lewis-Clark State begins the

third round of conference play

next weekend with a battle for

first-place against Carroll College

on Friday in Helena, Mont.

LCSC plays each conference foe

three times and Saturday night’s

contest completed the second

round of play. The Warriors play

games on the road to end the

regular season.

Strong second half, Wiley’s double-double push Warriors past Lights , 68-51



Sam Atkin (SR/Lincolnshire, England) continued his impressive running career at Lewis-Clark State College by posting the top 3,000m time in the NAIA in winning the event in 8 minutes and 24 seconds at the Cougar Indoor Invitational on Saturday.

Atkin’s mark hit the A standard for the NAIA and qualified him for the NAIA national indoor meet. The senior lapped the field multiple times, beating his nearest competitor from Gonzaga by 28 seconds.

The Warriors also had two individuals hit NAIA B standard marks and also set three school records at the meet.

Joel Boozer (SO/Pendleton, Ore.) finished sixth in the men’s 60-meter hurdles and broke

his own school record in 8.41 seconds. He set the previous mark two weeks ago.

The Warrior men’s 4x800 relay team of Nehemiah Barrett (JR/Lakewood, Wash.), Joey Davis (JR/Everett, Wash.), Jesse Styner (SO/Asotin, Wash.) and Tomislav Smith (JR/Mukilteo, Wash.) also set a school record in 8:02.17 and just missed meeting the NAIA B qualifying standard by 1.2 seconds.

On the women’s side, Sophie Bush (SR/Newport, Wash.) met the B standard for the mile in 5:10.40, while teammate Katelyn Horn was eighth in 5:21.79.

LCSC’s Miranda Brown (FR/Bend, Ore.) bettered her own school record in the long jump from 4.93m (16- 2.25) to 5.09m (16-8.5). Brown wound up fifth in the pentathlon with 3,145 points.

“Great to see as we get to

this point in our season to see things start to come together,” said Warriors Head Coach Mike Collins. “Tough to preach patience and yet want to see kids perform, so great to see them starting to get excited about what they are doing. We have serveral student-athletes that are bordering on hitting qualifying marks. We have one more meet and then we will start planning for indoor nationals.”

The Warriors wrap up the indoor regular season on Saturday, Feb. 13 in Nampa, Idaho at the Boise State Team Challenge before heading to Johnson City, Tenn. for the 2016 NAIA Indoor National Championships hosted by East Tennessee StateMarch 3-5.

Lewis--Clark State CollegePress Release

The Lewis-Clark State College women’s tennis team enjoyed a strong day as the Warrior defeated both the College of Idaho 9-0 and Whitworth 8-1 at the LCSC Tennis Center.

Against the College of Idaho, the Warriors swept all singles matches in straight sets. Lauren Lang, played at No. 1 singles, won her match 6-1, 6-1 and also teamed up with Deanri Human to post an 8-0 win at No. 1 doubles.

margin to 18. The visitors cut the lead to 11 with 3:29 in the first half, but LCSC scored the final seven points of the half for the 18-point halftime margin.

“We played really solid defense in the first half, however, in the second half we weren’t quite at the same level. It’s tough to sustain that effort for the entire 40 minutes and it’s something we will continue to work and improve on. We took them out of a lot of things, but we also know that there’s a lot we can do to work and improve and get better,” stated Johnson.

It was a much more tightly contested second half, but the outcome was never in doubt as

the Warriors led by as many as 32 points in the final 20 minutes. However, to Johnson’s point, UGF shot 63 percent (17-of-27) from the floor in the second half including 54.4 percent (6-of-11) from long range while scoring 45 points to the Warriors 50 in the period. LC’s up tempo offense and big three-pointers helped the home team maintain their lead.

“The pace of the game was big for us,” said Johnson. “Our depth really allows us to not miss a beat and the guys have really bought into pushing the ball up the floor and recognize that it’s one of our strengths.”

For the game, LCSC shot 52.3 percent (34-of-65) from the field

and 45.2 percent (14-of-31) from downtown while also netting 21 points off turnovers and committing just nine themselves. The Argos finished the game 28-of-60 (46.7%) with a 7-for-17 (41.2%) mark from the 3-point arc and 15 turnovers. The Warriors also won on the glass with a 34-31 margin.

The Warriors, who improved to 13-0 at home, look to continue their home success on Saturday, Feb. 6 when they welcome Montana State University-Northern to the Activity Center. The game, which is sponsored by Greg Kimberling Insurance, is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

The top-ranked Lewis-Clark State College baseball team got off to a fast start and did enough to hold on for the win on opening night, defeating Corban University 10-6 in the third game of the Guardian Plumbing, Heating and A/C Tournament at Harris Field on Friday night.

LC State (1-0), which is seeking its 18th national title after ending the six year drought last season at the Avista-NAIA World Series, tallied eight hits on the night and posted four runs in each of the first two innings, but a late rally by Corban (0-2) made for an interesting night.

The visiting Warriors of Corban, playing their second game of the day after losing to The University of British Columbia 4-2, got on the board first as a leadoff walk came around to score, however, LCSC starter, lefty Jake Barnett, settled in from there, sitting down eight straight batters en route to his first win as a Warrior.

His offense got to work right away, putting up four runs on two hits in the opening frame. Leadoff man and LCSC newcomer Jacob Zanon started the game with a single and beat a force play on a Cabe Reiten grounder to put two on for Julian Ramon who walked to load the bases. J.J. Robinson followed suit for his first RBI at LC State and a Robert Smith Jr. hit-by-pitch plated another for the Warriors. Two more newcomers, Tyler McDowell and Gunnar Buhner, each delivered sacrifice flies to cap the inning.

Barnett worked around two runners in the second and the

offense piled on. A pair of freebies and a single loaded the bases again for LCSC and a wild pitch added to the lead. McDowell collected another RBI on a groundout and the big hit came from Buhner who doubled home a pair to push the lead to 8-1.

Corban reliever Zach Toney settled in after the second and both offenses went quite until the fifth when CU third basemen Kyle Kilian drove in two runs with a two-out double down the right field line to cut the margin to three. Barnett induced a fly out to end the frame to end his day.

Freshman right-hander Tyler Burch was the first man out of the pen for Head Coach Jeremiah Robbins and he shined, allowing just one hit to go with a pair of strikeouts in his first two innings of work, allowing the LC offense to get back on track. Ramon did just that as he doubled down the right field line with two on and one out to push the lead to six. Reiten added the final run on a wild pitch, but the game wasn’t quite over.

Burch ran into trouble in the eighth, walking the leadoff hitter and allowing a two-run home run to the DH, Hayden Calvert. A pair of hits put runners at second and third and Dakota Cortese was called on in relief. He struggled with his command, allowing a run on a wild pitch and, after a strike out, hit a batter.

LCSC turned to Anthony Balderas who came in and shut the door with a pair of strikeouts to end the threat. He closed out the game with an uneventful ninth for his first save.

Right fielder Logan Griffin led the LC State offensive attack finishing 2-for-5 while Reiten was

By Taylor Marshallof The Pathfinder

The 2013 Seattle Seahawks, the 2000 Baltimore Ravens, the 1985 Chicago Bears, the 1976 Pittsburgh Steelers and now the 2015 Denver Broncos. All of these teams have two things in common, they were all Super Bowl champions, and second, they were all led to victory by incredible defenses. It is easy to see why so many have coined the phrase, defense wins championships.

In an era filled gun-slinging quarterbacks and prolific offenses it was the two teams with the best defenses that squared off in Super Bowl 50 and the units did not disappoint.

All game long we saw Peyton Manning and Cam Newton engulfed by hungry pass-rushers, the two teams accounted for 12 sacks a Super Bowl record. We saw running backs literally run into brick walls, or more accurately 300 plus pound defensive lineman that did not give an inch to the opponents.

Ball hawking safeties and corners had their paws on passes all game intercepting two passes. And in between all of that we saw six fumbles on the ground as defenders ferociously ripped the ball out all night. Let’s just say it was a long day for both offenses.

Denver Linebacker Von Miller was named MVP after record book performance. In his final two games of the season including the Super Bowl, Miller produced 5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles and an interception. He was a one man wrecking crew in the two biggest games of the season, and looked like the best player on the planet on Sunday.

Some may say this type of football is boring, or that both offenses were really poor but

that is not the case. This is the way that football is supposed to be played. When the game boils down and the cream of the crop rises to the top, it is not the fastest players, or the QB that can chuck it the farthest that win Super Bowls- it’s nasty, relentless defenses that win.

In 2013 the Seahawks were world champions. The reason: they had Earl Thomas running around the secondary like a bullet shot from a gun smashing into anyone that dare enter his domain. The Hawks had Kam Chancellor laying huge hits on running backs and crossing receivers and Richard Sherman snaring every ball that came his way. Couple that with a solid pass rush and great tackling linebackers and Seattle’s defense carried them to a championship.

The 2000 Baltimore Ravens won the Super Bowl led by Trent Dilfer at quarterback. Yeah that’s right, Trent Dilfer, hardly a great quarterback in the history of football. The reason that the Ravens won: They had behemoths up front, Sam Adams and Tony Siragusa forming a metaphorical Great Wall of China. Rod Woodson a hall of fame safety patrolled their secondary with extreme force. Peter Boulware, Jamie Sharper, and one of the greatest linebackers of all time, Ray Lewis absolutely annihilated offenses from the linebacker position.

And now, in 2015 we saw another defense that will always be remembered as one of the best. The Broncos won this years’ Super Bowl with a 39 year old man whose body resembles that of an 80 year old war vet playing QB. Peyton Manning was great but now he is extremely mediocre and yet Peyton still got to taste Super Bowl glory, thanks

to his defense.Denver’s defense this past

season was one of the most dominant defenses in recent memory. Led by all world pass-rushers, DeMarcus Ware and Von Miller, the defense allows almost no time for the quarterback to throw. Malik Jackson and Derek Wolfe bring quickness and toughness to the interior of the defensive line and controlled offensive lines all season long.

The line backing core featuring Brandon Marshall and Danny Trevethan are extremely fast and cover the field from sideline to sideline. Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr. are absolute lockdown corners making it hard for receivers to find any open space. T.J. Ward is one of the best safeties in the NFL and plays very similar to Earl Thomas, running like a cannon ball and propelling himself into ball carriers.

It is not often that we see teams that are known for their defense in todays’ NFL. Usually teams win Super Bowls on the arms of their quarterback or the legs of a powerful running back. But every so often a special defensive unit comes around and leads their team to the promise land. This Denver defense that we saw play this season will be remembered long from now.

Corban, pg.10


Jorge Garcia hit a pinch-hit two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning to help propel the top-ranked Lewis-Clark State College baseball team to a 5-3 win over Northwest Nazarene and Matthew Fisk tossed four scoreless innings to send LC to a 5-1 win over the University of British Columbia in the Guardian Plumbing, Heating & A/C Tournament at LCSC’s Harris Field on Saturday.

LCSC improved to 3-0 both on the season and in tournament play.

Trailing 3-2 going into the bottom of the sixth, Hayden Meier started the Warrior rally with a one-out single through the left side of the infield. Garcia then came on as a pinch-hitter and on his first pitch in his first at bat in a Warrior uniform he hit the ball over the center-field fence for a two-run blast to put the Warriors ahead 4-3.

The blast was the first by a Warrior this season and just the third by an LC player in their first Warrior at-bat, nearly one year to the day of the last occurrence on Feb. 7, 2015 off the bat of Dylan Tashjin.

The Warriors jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the contest thanks to a couple of fielding errors. Paul Blunt opened the inning and reached on a fielding error by the NNU second baseman. Logan Griffin followed with a sacrifice bunt, but NNU pitcher Jaramy Jacobs threw wild to first, which allowed Blunt to score and Griffin to reach all the way to third. After a ground out, Robert Smith hit a sacrifice fly to left to score Griffin.

NNU tied the game in the top of the fourth when LC pitcher Quin Grogan ran into some control problems. He walked Josh Hatfield and Tyler Davis to open the inning Grogan then

struck out the next two batters he faced and appeared he might get out of the inning unscathed but Andrew Helmstadter smacked a two-run triple to left to make it 2-2.

The Crusaders took a 3-2 lead in the top of the fifth when a throwing error and a walk put runners on first and second with one out. Henry McAree came on to pitch for LCSC and was greeted by an RBI single by Hatfield.

After the Warriors regained the lead in the sixth, they added an insurance run in the eighth. Chase Hafer singled but was forced out at second on a fielder’s choice bunt by Blunt. After a pop up, Cabe Reiten singled Blunt to third. Micah Brown’s pinch-hit single to center scored Blunt.

The Warriors outhit the Crusaders 10-8 in the contest. Reiten was the only Warrior with more than one hit as he finished with three.

McAree got the win although he gave up six of the seven hits. He pitched 3.2 innings and struck out four. Grogan went the first 4.1 innings and allowed just one hit but walked four. He struck out six and only two of the three runs he allowed were earned.

Noel Gonzales pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning with two strikeouts to record his first save of the season.

Hatfield, Helmstadter and Colton McCluskey had two hits apiece for the Crusaders, who fell to 1-2 on the season and in the tournament.

Fisk was the story in game two for the Warriors as the junior lefty came on in relief in the fifth inning with the scored tied at 1 and a runner on second with one out. After he induced a harmless fly ball and a groundout to end the threat, the Warrior newcomer struck out six of the next seven Thunderbirds and retired the next eight batters to allow the offense a chance to work.

The Warriors went ahead

for good in the fifth as Esteban Bastidas drew a one out walk and his pinch runner, Andris Rizquez, scored one batter later on Emilio Alcantar’s double down the left field line. A throwing error allowed the speedy junior to advance to third which proved key as he scored on a J.J. Robinson single to make it 3-1 LCSC.

Micah Brown recorded his first RBI of the season in the sixth with a sacrifice fly to left, scoring Gunnar Buhner, who had singled and moved to third on Chase Hafer’s double. The Warriors added their final tally in the seventh as Tashjian doubled home Alcantar, who singled earlier in the frame and advanced to second on a wild pitch, with two out.

Fish earned the win allowing just one hit and one walk with seven strikeouts over four scoreless innings in his LC debut, facing just 13 batters. Kevin Hamann got the start and a no-decision, allowing one run on four hits with three walks and four strikeouts in 4.1 innings.

Alcantar, Robinson and Buhner each finished with a pair of hits as the Warriors belted out 10 in the game to just five for UBC. Alcantar was the lone Warrior to cross the plate twice while five different batters tallied an RBI for Lewis-Clark State.

The Warriors finish the Guardian Plumbing, Heating and A/C Tournament 3-0 and will return to action on Wednesday, Feb. 10when they host Central Washington with a 3 p.m. first pitch at Harris Field.
