By JANET HART LEONARD While getting my hair cut on Friday my hairdresser, Deb Alvey and Iwere discussing how we organize our thoughts and remember things aswe have gotten older. She said that a doctor told her that as we age ourmind becomes filled with sticky notes. As we try to remember things,our brain tries to find the right sticky note with the information we need. Oh my! I have trouble keeping up with the post it notes on my desk,in my purse, in my car, and on my computer and on my mirror. I can't

imagine trying to remember everything without my post its. Even my calendar has postits to remind me of appointments. My granddaughter, Alecksa, uses a spread sheet to keep track of the colleges that sheis looking to attend. I've never used a spread sheet I told her. She smiled and said "it'sok Gma, whatever works for you. Everyone has their own system to remember things. I've even begun taking g picturesof where I park at the airport. I might think I will remember D 29 but I also have toremember shelter 18 and zone 4 as the bus pick up. A picture is worth a thousand forgets! If my mind is sorting through all these sticky notes I may be in trouble as I think as Iam getting older my storage is reaching capacity. Too bad I can't increase my brain'sdata plan. It would be nice to be able to delete a few unnecessary bits of information in my brainbut they might be stuck to a password or PIN number I might need. Whenever I have to change a password and cannot reuse an old one, well, I'm in trouble.I can't remember my old ones and sometimes have to try several times to find a new one,and then be able to remember it. I know my phone has the ability to do everything that I still do with my sticky notes.I like my system, and yes, I'm sticking to it!

By RAYMOND ADLERRay Adler is a senior partner with the law firm Adler Tesnar &Whalin. Our office frequently receives questions about trusts. What arethey, how are they created and when should they be used? There are various types of trusts. A Trust is a fiduciary relationshipbetween a Trustee who holds legal title to the property and anotherperson for whom the title is held as a Beneficiary. The creator ofthe trust is called the Settlor or Grantor. The person that holds titleis the Trustee. The Beneficiary is the person entitled to the benefits

of the trust. Blind Trusts are those in which the Settlor places investments under the control of anindependent trustee to avoid conflicts of interest. They are often used by politicians. ABusiness Trust is a form of business organization similar to a corporation. A BypassTrust or QTIP Trust is an estate planning technique previously used to minimize taxes.A Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust or CRAT is a trust in which the beneficiariesreceive for a specified period of time a fixed payment of 5% or more the fair marketvalue of the principal after which the remainder of principal passes to a charity. AConstructive Trust is a trust imposed by court on equitable grounds against one who hasobtained property by wrongdoing. The Generation-Skipping Trust is one used to establishtransfer of assets to skip to a person more than one generation away from the Settlor. AGrantor Trust is a type of trust which the settler retains control of the trust property orits income. The Life Insurance Trust is a trust consisting of one or more life insurancepolicies payable to the trust when the insured dies. A Miller Trust provides for a Medicaidrecipient to receive income from an asset and yet retain the Medicaid benefits. There arenumerous other types of trusts. What are the advantages and disadvantages? Trusts can be used to avoid the need for a court administering estates or guardianships.They can generally be used to shelter publicity and keep family business private. Truststypically are not made part of the public record although in case of litigation they canbe “docketed”. Trusts can be used effectively to plan for the disposition of assets over along period of time. By using certain spendthrift provisions, they can prevent dissipationof trust assets by beneficiaries who aren’t sophisticated in handling their own monies.They can be used to manage assets for minor children. Trusts can also provide flexibility. Any person over 18 may serve as trustee if not otherwise disqualified. Corporationscan serve as well. Make sure that the trust names a trustee and a procedure for choosinga successor trustee. The trust should clearly designate who is to receive the benefit ofthe trust and how when and to what extent it may be received. The trustee’s duties orlimitations on the duty should be listed. Finally, the trust must state whether it is revocableor irrevocable as Indiana law presumes it is revocable unless the agreement statesotherwise. Trusts can be simple or complex. Be sure and consult your legal advisor, particularlyif responding to advertisements claiming great benefits. While trusts can be useful incertain circumstances, they are also easy to abuse and confuse. Without a clearunderstanding of how the trust worked, many clients who have purchased trusts onlineor from trust factories lacked a clear understanding of how to use their trust. As a result,

A look at Trusts

By SWEETIEMCMAHON Sweetie here!My human momand dad, Sharonand Bruce, are offon a trip so once

again I am tasked to bring you some insightsinto my canine world and, hopefully, withsome suggestions for your four-leggedfamily members as well. Although I missmy human parents, my pet sitter Katie isawesome and loves to spoil us! About the quote noted above…I hope noone takes offense! I have heard it said inthe human world that “old folks” get tospeak their mind so considering that I amnow, in human years, 112 (I just turned“Sweet Sixteen” this year!) I am takingadvantage of that. However, for this articlelet’s use the word “overweight” as the word“fat” is often used in a very hurtful andderogatory way and that is truly not myintention. According towww.petobesityprevention.com, over 57%of dogs are overweight/obese, while thepercentage is even higher for cats! Thiscondition brings about osteoarthritis, Type2 diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and kidneyfailure. These may sound all too familiarto the humans as well! In my last article I was remiss to mentionthat my human Dad, Bruce, is the one whoprepares breakfast every morning for me,the “other” dog Guy, and Leo the cat – heis our chef and primary caretaker of the“potty” requirements! Although my humans make sure I get somedaily exercise (I have, after all, maintainedmy svelte figure in my advanced years!) andwatch my diet (no human food for me!) Ido, of course, have my health issues due toage which include cataracts, poor hearing,and some general arthritis. Thankfully Ihave my monthly heartworm meds and mymonthly “anti-parasite” meds which help tokeep me feeling pretty good overall. Butback to the weight issue …of course I knowmy furry friends are not reading this articlebut those of you who are, do yourself andyour best furry buddy a favor and get out totake those walks, play ball, and just romparound! (Cat owners, as you know, yourplay schedule with your cat dependsENTIRELY on their schedules…I’m justsayin’) And, frankly, cat obesity rates areeven higher than dogs’ rates.

Back to the “senior” dog category, we alsoneed a little more patience andunderstanding to go along with a healthydiet, disease preventatives, and that all-important exercise. If any of you have beenin the role of caretaker of an elderly humanthere are actually many similarities. As a“senior” I like to nap a little more often,walk a little more slowly, and continue toenjoy my cuddles on a regular basis.Additionally a trip to the grooming salonmakes me feel just a bit better and moreattractive, not so different are we? We

canines are also pack-oriented and want tobe with our families, not stuck outside in adog house – that makes for a lonely life, aswell as being dangerous in extreme heat orcold weather. Finally, I feel I need to put in my plug forall my brothers and sisters (cats too!) whoare desperately hoping for a home as theywait patiently in the animal shelters aroundthe country. The shelters do the best theycan but nothing can take the place of a realfamily who loves unconditionally. As adog who had a rough start in life (yes I am

“purebred” but believe me that did notprevent the abuse I endured) and wasblessed to find my forever home at the ageof 5 (or 35 in dog years!) I can say fromfirst-hand experience that there are somereally good future family members out therewho are in need of a great home – and it isnever necessary to spend a lot of money forthat forever friend and family member!The shelters and rescue groups will workwith you to make a good match, so pleaseadopt!

“If your dog is fat, you aren’t getting enough exercise.” Author unknown

By SHERIDAN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT PIPER ZOLA Today’s column by Piper is the first of several columns that willbe produced by Sheridan High School’s 10th grade English classtaught by Abigayle Linville. When most people hear the word “Pitbull”, they think of alocking jaw, a vicious character, and an unforgiving need to harmanything it sees. They think they are dangerous animals with aconstant need to fight. Well, none of that is true and if you believeit is, then stop being ignorant. Because that ignorant mentalityand the misconceptions created by the media are what gives the

Pitbull, or any dog resembling a Pitbull, a bad name. Pitbulls were originally called the “nanny dogs” in the 20th century because they woulddo anything to protect their families. Pitbulls are inherently strong just like a Great Daneis inherently large and a Chihuahua is inherently small. Because of the breed’s strength,they are unfortunately the leading candidate for fights. People who lack basic sense andmorals take and use this innocent breed in dog fighting. Notice how I say the words“take” and “use”. These poor, defenseless creatures are used against their will to beultimately killed in the name of money and pleasure. These dogs involved in fighting aretrained by humans to be vicious. Pitbulls get the credit for being cruel when the onesbeing cruel are actually the ones capable of holding a leash and putting a dog in a pen tokill another dog. It is important to learn that, just like any other dog, if a Pitbull is taken care of withgenuine love, then a Pitbull will give twice the amount of love to its owners than wasgiven to it. This is true for any dog breed or any animal. It comes down to the owners ofthe animal and how they treat it. Generally, if a dog is mistreated, then it will becomefrightened of everything. It loses the will to trust because it is treated like an object ratherthan a living thing. Trust can be very hard to gain back. This is the side of the equationthat the media sees. The media sees a “mean” dog when in reality that dog is scaredbeyond its will or has been stripped of love so much to the fact that all it knows is hateand abuse. The media and those who think of these dogs as inherently vicious are just asbad as the abusive pet owners. The truth about these animals is hard to uncover underneath all of the misconceptionsand lies, but the truth is there for educated people and for those invested in the well-beingof any animal. The truth is that Pitbulls are not harmful. If it is nurtured with tender care,then it will be the best dog you could ever ask for. I have owned a Pitbull mix for oversix years now. My dog was supposedly abused when she was younger and when weadopted her she showed so much love it made me wonder how something could gothrough such harm and learn to love again. If there is one thing I know about my Pitbull,it’s that she would lay her life down to protect me and my family. Such is the “nannydog”. These creatures have such big hearts and they can bounce back and love even afteryears of abuse. The reason the media hears of stories about “Pitbull attacks” or people bitten by a Pitbullis because a Pitbull bite matches its body proportion. We hear about these “attacks”because a Pitbull’s bite is big. We don’t hear about a Dachshund's bite or a Corgi’s bitebecause those breeds are small in proportion. A dog will bite because it’s either scared,hungry, or trained to do so. What needs to be understood is that a bite is a bite and it justso happens that a Pitbull’s is bigger, which causes a bigger reaction in the media. This iswhat most people hear or see, but what the majority of the population does not know isthe fact that there are countless cases of the breed giving their lives for their owners andrescuing people and kids. There are also stories among stories about these dogs beingrescued from beyond awful conditions and forgiving the cruel humankind by loving andtrusting again. If there’s one thing you now know, it’s that this breed is just like any other breed.Pitbulls have a bad rap because humans gave it to them. Pitbulls are more than capableof love -- because this breed deserves it the most. This breed’s physical strength isnothing compared to its mental strength to be resilient and fight the stereotypes insteadof fighting in pens. Understand these animals before stereotyping them. Walk through arescue shelter and look into the gentle eyes of a Pitbull and understand its story -- itshardships. Know that their hearts are bigger than their bites. Know that this breeddeserves a second chance because humans took its first chance away. Adopt this dogbreed and give it the care it deserves and you will forever feel protected and loved. Adoptthem out of kill shelters because Pitbulls are the first to go. Because when the Pitbull youadopted and cared for with love looks at you, it’s looking at you because you mean theworld to it when you rescued it. It’s looking at you because it would lay its life down ina heartbeat to protect you and because it can’t imagine its world without you, in a pensomewhere being trained to kill. Nor should any dog in the world have to.

Bad rap for the nanny dogs

By NOBLESVILLE DEPUTY MAYORSTEVE COOKE What a difference a year makes. LastSeptember, officials from the City ofNoblesville broke ground on FederalHill Commons at the juncture of LoganStreet, SR-32 and SR-19. Now thatwe’ve reached the one-year mark sinceits groundbreaking, and much progress

has been made on its construction, what can we expect ofNoblesville’s newest park when it officially opens in 2017? At a cost of $6 million, the 6.4 acres of Federal HillCommons will serve many functions for many people.Green space. Playground. Concert venue. Theatre stage.Artistic showcase. Farmers market. Festival grounds.Walking paths. Economic catalyst. Thanks to the vision of Mayor John Ditslear, the passionof Parks Director Brandon Bennett, the foresight of theCommon Council and the support of numerous residents,Noblesville’s fifth park will soon rise up out of anunderdeveloped flood plain to become a cultural andcommunity amenity unlike anything in Hamilton County. As a driver of economic development, the Commons willserve as an attractive gateway to our wonderful and historicdowntown. In fact, the park effectively extends thedowntown area west of the White River. The Cityanticipates the Commons will lead to greater privatedevelopment in the area while current propertiessurrounding the park should see a 12-to-15 percent increasein property value. Before any ribbons are cut to open the Commons, excitingredevelopment is already happening. The expansion ofRiverview Health and the new headquarters of BlueSkyTechnology Partners only add to the ensured success ofFederal Hill. Even Wendy’s got a much needed facelift. Are you still asking the question – What is it? For music and theatre lovers, the First Merchants Pavilionamphitheater will showcase live music and stageproductions, and serve as a new home for Shakespeare inthe Park. Imagine all the potential concerts, plays andfestivals we can attract to the Commons – and with ampleparking – at least 1,100 spaces total within a five minutewalk, including 181 spaces onsite. If you’d rather join in on the fun, visitors are invited onstage to take part. Musical instruments will be built into the

back wall that anyone can play thanks to a generousdonation by the Noblesville Park Foundation. The Rotary Club provided another generous donation tohelp fund the Noblesville Rotary Club Shelter. Noblesville Main Street will relocate its Farmers Marketfrom the Riverview Health lot to the Market Plaza on thewest side of the Commons. This new home for the oldestmarket in Hamilton County will offer space for its 80 localvendors and a permanent building for restrooms. In the City’s initial design, a splash pad was planned – butwas removed as a cost-saving measure. The park’sunderground infrastructure could allow the addition of asplash pad in the future, but in the meantime, residents canenjoy the splash pads at Forest Park Aquatic Center and atDillon Park.

Construction is expected to be completed this fall, but thepark’s grassy areas will need time to grow for a grandopening in April 2017. The City’s plans also allow for afuture ice skating rink that could be assembled and operatedat the Commons during the winter months beginning inNovember 2017. This temporary amenity would help createadditional opportunities for year-round activation. As a community gathering space for all generations to beenjoyed for generations to come, the Commons will enablethe kind of culture-building that reflects Noblesville’s ownidentity. None of this would be possible without the visionof Mayor Ditslear, the hard work of City employees and thecommitment of dedicated community partners. Until next time, see you on the (expanding) square. Follow Steve Cooke on Twitter @CookeCom.

Don’t Bayh itBy GAREN BRAGG Evan Bayh’s return to Indiana politics hasbeen expected for years. Ever since he ranfrom the Senate after casting the decidingvote for the President’s infamousAffordable Care Act aka Obamacare, he hasbeen sitting on millions of dollars of

campaign cash, fueling speculation that he may run againfor governor or maybe the Senate. At each opportunity forhim to make a comeback however he has said no andcontinued working for the very corporations that he helpedbenefit with taxpayer money while in the Senate, makingmillions of dollars in personal profit. But when the cardswere down and it looked like the fate of the Senate couldbe decided in Indiana, Mr. Bayh decided to push asideBaron Hill who had already been nominated by the voters,and have his insider friends put him in the race. Mr. Bayh comes from arguably the most successfulpolitical family in Indiana’s history. Hoosiers know him.Yet what many do not realize is just how deeply involvedhe became in Washington cronyism after he left his homestate and went to the Senate. He has made millions not fromwhat he has produced or what he has earned as a wealthybusinessman might, but directly off of the backs of thetaxpayers. Since then he has lived comfortably in a multi-million dollar mansion in Washington, but now is trying toclaim that he lives in Indiana. You may like Evan Bayh as a person. But the Democratsonly need to pick up four seats this year to win control ofthe Senate and give Chuck Schumer (D-NY) the power ofSenate Majority Leader. A Chuck Schumer senate meansthat a President Hillary Clinton will have a blank check onall supreme court nominations and that a President Trumpwill have limited options.  You may have liked Evan Bayhas governor. But his record in Washington is one that holdsnaked self-interest higher than public service. Instead ofdoing what was right for the state he voted for bailouts andthen took high paying jobs from the same corporations thatreceived those tax dollars and moved to Washington. At the start of the race, former Congressman Baron Hillwas lagging and Indiana was considered a very likely winfor the Republicans. Todd Young, the Republican Senatenominee was even first elected to Congress in 2010 bydefeating Hill and taking his seat. But when Bayh enteredthe race he did so with a massive $9.5 million war chestand broad statewide name recognition. By contrast, ToddYoung has reported holding $1.2 million at the end of thesecond quarter. If the polls are accurate, Young, a threeterm Congressman from southern Indiana has a lot ofground to make up in terms of both fundraising and namerecognition. It's a steep hill to climb but certainly notimpossible, especially when you consider that since leavingoffice Bayh hasn't even lived here and been working as aWashington insider. In the year of Trump that isn't goingto go over well with voters. The difficulty of course is that with the presidentialelection and the governor's race, everyone seems to byvying for the public's attention. The more background noisethere is about what Pence and Trump are doing inPennsylvania or how Holcomb is going to lead Indiana, theless effective ads are that inform voters about the recentactivities of Bayh. After a voter does learn about what Mr.Bayh has been up to, they are much less likely to supporthim. Every election we are told how historic or important it is,but this time it's true. In a state that isn't used to thelimelight, Indiana has had a lot of say this year. We werethe state that vaulted Trump to the nomination and ourGovernor is the Vice Presidential nominee. In Novemberit will likely be Indiana that will determine the future of theSenate and by extension the Supreme Court. The truth isthat a vote for Evan Bayh is a vote for Chuck Schumer andHillary Clinton, and after he cashed in on his last Senateterm he wants to tell us that we can trust him again. I don'tBayh it.

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorEven after 24 carries in his previous

game, and still more in his current game,Noblesville quarterback Ryan Barnes want-ed the ball.

The junior traveled from Kansas City tohis new home, and got thrown into the fastlane of Indiana high school football rightaway. But with 24 seconds left in the Mill-ers' Hoosier Crossroads Conference openerat Fishers on Friday, Barnes found the rightlane, and sped 41 yards to the end zone.That touchdown put Noblesville on top, andthe Millers hung on for their first win of theseason, 28-21 over the Class 6A No. 8 Ti-gers.

That was Barnes' 23rd carry of thenight, but he wasn't tired.

"I'm pumped and excited for the team,"he said.

Of course, every player on a footballteam has a role in the touchdown. Barneshad excellent blocking that opened up thatlane.

"I really think it came down to NolanGinther and Drew Scheib on the edge," saidNoblesville coach Jason Simmons. "Thosetwo guys did a nice job setting the edge.Chandler Hurst was a lead blocker on it.Ryan gets the credit for the yards, but thoseguys, those three deserve credit too, be-cause they gave him an opportunity to getdown hill and to go bang that thing."

Barnes agreed."Great blocking," said the quarterback.

"And they just opened up a lane for me, andit was right there, wide open."

Noblesville's winning touchdown wasthe final score of an exciting, back-and-forth game, in which both teams played

with much effort and provided some excit-ing moments on offense and defense.

The Millers had the first big moment,when Hurst blasted off on a 54-yard run toget the first score of the game with 7:48 leftin the first quarter. Jack Knight made theextra point kick; he would make all four ofhis kick attempts on the night.

Fishers' defense would then get the nextscore, as Jalen Moss recovered a fumble inthe end zone to give the Tigers their firsttouchdown. Ben Norton kicked the extrapoint; he was also perfect in kicking withthree successful attempts.

Fishers would soon get the ball back,and scored again on a long drive that beganwith 19 seconds left in the first quarter.Trevor Newman, Michael Noble and JoelSmyth took turns making short runs downthe field, with quarterback Smyth making acouple of passes along the way (to Newmanand Bryce Gee). Noble got the ball on theone-yard line, and he carried it in, makingthe score 14-7. That was with 6:30 remain-ing in the second quarter, which meant itwas a nearly six-minute drive. That wouldbe the last score of the first half.

Noblesville tied things back up midwaythrough the third quarter. Starting on theMillers' 22, Barnes zoomed ahead 32 yardsto get the ball in Tiger territory. The quar-terback led the way down the field, withseveral short runs, and with three solidpasses (two to Jackson Thurman and one toBen Gruver). Barnes ended the drive with atwo-yard dash into the end zone, makingthe score 14-14.

Fishers took the lead one more time,when Smyth connected with Michael Jon-

son for a 17-yard touchdown pass. Thatgave the Tigers a 21-14 lead with 8:45 leftin the game.

Noblesville answered with a score of itsown. This time Barnes threw towards theend zone, and towards Jackson Thurman.

Jackson made the catch for a nine-yardtouchdown, and Knight's kick tied the gameup - again. The Millers got the ball backwith 2:24 left, which set up Barnes' big runand Noblesville's winning drive.

"I felt great about the look in our kids'eyes," said Simmons. "They believed. And

there's magic in believing, and our kidsbelieved taking the field with 76 yards to gothat we were going to go squash that inch."

Simmons credited Noblesville's de-fense, too.

"I thought our defense played reallywell," said the coach. "We bent a little, butwe didn't give up big chunks. We stoppedthe fake punt. We did a lot of things tonightreally well defensively, but the one thingthat we did defensively well was, we playedwith an attitude and an edge, and that'ssomething we had to do. We had to be

fundamental and we had to win the initialtake off. And we did that tonight."

Barnes carried the ball 23 more times,totaling 158 yards. Hurst rushed for 81yards, including his big touchdown run.Barnes completed 10 of 16 passes for 99yards. Thurman caught five of those passesfor 50 yards.

Smyth threw 29 passes, completing 15of them for 147 yards. DeVonte Adams hadfive catches for 48 yards. Newman led Fish-ers' rushing, with 48 yards.

"I was proud of the way our kidsplayed," said Tigers coach Rick Wimmer."We're playing with some JV guys outthere. We are just beat up and injured. Ithought we played very, very hard. Proud ofour effort."

Both teams have huge games next week.The Millers (1-2) host Westfield, the No.3-ranked team in 5A. Fishers (2-1) willtravel to Hamilton Southeastern, taking onthe 6A No. 7 Royals for the Mudsock tro-phy.

Westfield grounds EaglesShamrocks outstanding on defense...

Westfield put up a ton of offense Fridayevening in a 48-8 home field victory overHoosier Crossroads Conference foe (andClass 5A No. 7) Zionsville.

But, following the game, Coach JakeGilbert had lots to say about the 5A No. 3Shamrocks’ defense.

“The first team gave up only its secondtouchdown of the season,” pointed out thecoach. “The defense played well. We held(Brenden) Mikesell to just 17 yards in 17carries.”

Leading that defense in total tackles wasHank Grenda with two solo tackles andeight assists.

On offense, Gilbert said the Shamrocksran the ball well.

“We did run it well (316 yards in 42carries),” said Gilbert. “We got off a coupleof long passes to Evan Manley. AndySweet had a good night throwing the foot-ball.”

On the ground, lots of Shamrocks con-tributed. Johnny Swidan had 14 carries for73 yards; Nate Froelich 14 carries for 66yards and Sweet ran six times for 86 yards.Owen McGraw came off the bench andcarried three times for 80 yards.

Froelich and Swidan each scored twotouchdowns. Will Harrison added to thepoint total with five PATs and a pair of fieldgoals.

Zionsville never challenged. Westfieldleaped to a 14-0 first quarter advantage andled 28-8 entering halftime.

The Shamrocks, now 3-0, have a bigconference game next Friday at Noblesville.

Sheridan short on time...

Hawks edged at North WhiteSheridan needed a little luck in its football game Friday at

North White.A little luck, twice.The Blackhawks, first, missed on a two-point conversion try.Then, with Sheridan five yards away from a game-winning

touchdown, the Blackhawks ran out of time.North White pulled out a 28-27 victory.“If we would have gotten the two-pointer that would have

forced North White to score and go for two,” said Coach LarryWright. “But, I made the wrong call. I shouldn’t have called thatplay.”

Sheridan, on a four-yard run by Joe Callahan with 11:22 leftin the game, took a 27-22 lead. But, the Blackhawks fell short onthe two-point conversion.

Then, North White put the winning points on the board with7:08 remaining.

Sheridan got to North White’s five-yard line when time ranit. It was a series with lots of confusion.

“The referee called a touchdown, but the ball was at the five,”Wright said. “We didn’t have any time outs remaining. We justran out of time.”

Wright said is 1-2 club played a “decent” game.

“We played physically tough; we played hard,” said thecoach. “But, we’re still making lots of silly mistakes.”

Sheridan outrushed North White (3-0) 326 yards to 115. But,the hosts threw for 178 yards and three touchdowns. Sheridanwas 4-of-13 through the air for 56 yards, and the Blackhawkshad two passes intercepted.

Callahan had another outstanding game on the ground,carrying 16 times for 153 yards. Quarterback Drake Delph gained88 yards in 13 carries and Kenny Bunnell added 65 yards in ninetrips.

Delph ws 4-of-13 passing the ball. Gunner Williams had threecatches for 43 yards.
