The American Red Cross urges eligible donors to givethe perfect gift this holiday season ndash a lifesaving blood orplatelet donation By rolling up a sleeve donors can helpensure patients continue to receive treatment throughout theholiday season

Busy holiday schedules and travel plans make it morechallenging for regular donors to give and many business-es and organizations postpone hosting blood drives duringthe holiday season for these same reasons This can lead toa decline in blood donations but the need is constant

ldquoWhile many of us gather with friends and family thistime of year patients may spend the holidays in a hospitalroomrdquo said Rodney Wilson communications manager ofthe Red Cross Indiana Ohio Blood Services Region ldquoTheneed for blood doesnrsquot take a break for the holidays Pleasemake an appointment to give the most meaningful gift ofall ndash the gift of life through a blood or platelet donationrdquo

Power Red maximizes donationsBlood donors with type O B negative and A negative

blood can help more patients with one appointment bymaking a Power Red donation at select Red Cross blood

donation centers and blood drives Power Red donors givea concentrated dose of red blood cells ndash the most common-ly transfused blood component Red blood cells carryoxygen throughout the body and are frequently give totrauma and surgery patients During a Power Red donationred blood cells are separated from other blood componentsand plasma and platelets are then safely and comfortablyreturned to the donor

ldquoWith just a little extra time at their appointmentdonors can have an even greater impact on patients inneedrdquo added Wilson

lights on the Court-house Square werelit on Friday eve-ning And so theChristmas seasonhas begun in down-town NoblesvilleAs I stood thereamongst so manyfriends who havebeen a part of mylife for so many

years I rememberedThe Firestone Christmas parties at the

Diana Theater were a big deal Puppetsand ventriloquists entertained me and myfriends and then we stood in line to pickout a gift and to see Santa The gifts werestacked high behind tables and weliterally were kids in a toy store as wesurveyed the toys deciding on the perfectone

My mom would venture into KenleysSupermarket with her list of ingredientsfor fudge cookies and candy My batchof fudge would never contain nutsBleck My dad would pick up bags ofhard ribbon candy and ofcoursechocolate covered cherries Isntit strange that certain sweets are nevermade or bought except at Christmas

We picked out our real tree fromeither the lot at the old Dairy Queen orfrom Chad Phillipss yard on the cornerof 12th and Central Tinsel and bubblelights were carefully arranged on eachbranch The smell of pine filled the houseas did the pine needles for weeks

I would spend hours practicing forthe Christmas programs at the NazareneChurch on the corner of Grant and 10thStreet My Mom directed the kidsprogram where we recited our piecesthat she chose for each child Some kidshad stage fright Some kids cried Somejust stood and waved to their parents

Funny thing is that I still remembermy first piece Im the littlest one in myfamily but I can do my part I want to livefor Jesus and have Him come into myheart My daughter Emily recited thesame piece some twenty five years later

Shamrocks tough out first-ever title

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorWestfields first-ever state championship

football team was coached by a man whowas mentored by one of the all-time greats

No wonder the Shamrocks playSaturday evening at Lucas Oil Stadium wasso entertaining

Westfield won the Class 5A title with agritty 16-13 victory over Columbus EastThis was the third time that the Shamrockshave appeared in the state finals and itwould be tempting to say third time luckyBut luck had nothing to do with Westfieldsvictory

This season to be honest I absolutelythought we could do it said Shamrockscoach Jake Gilbert who played football forlegendary coach Dick Dullaghan back whenhe was at Ben Davis So Im not going to

act like Im shocked But over the course ofsix years for this to really happen God isgood Thats the only explanation We weremeant to come here this was meant tohappen The support weve gotten the staffweve put together and the sheer work thatthese kids have put in And the way thatthese kids have loved each other is justuncommon

Westfield won the game with two thingsthat have powered it along the entire seasonDefense and special teams The latter waseasily identifiable on the scoreboard as ittranslated into nine points from three fieldgoals by Will Harrison

The senior got the first score of the gameat the 714 mark of the first quarter whenhe kicked a 52-yarder Thats nothing newfor Harrison as he booted a 53-yard fieldgoal last week in the Shamrocks semi-state

win over Fort Wayne Snider But it was anew 5A state championship record

Harrison kicked two more field goals inthe second period a 44-yarder with 745 leftin the quarter and a 42-yard kick with 332remaining

It just feels amazing said HarrisonMy teams around me and Im around theteam Its just an amazing feeling When allof those three went in it was just amazing

If Wills not 3-for-3 on field goals lastweek we dont win said Gilbert If hesnot 3-for-3 on field goals this week we dontwin The man has kicked six field goals intwo weeks

Harrisons kicks helped keep Westfieldwithin distance when the Olympians scored13 points in the second quarter Both ofColumbus Easts touchdowns were by passThe first came with 941 left when Josh

Major connected with Caleb Voelker for a32-yard reception But Jackson Garrettblocked the Olympians extra point attempt

Harrisons field goals made the score 9-6with seconds left in the first half ButColumbus East would score right at the endJamon Hogan lateraled the ball to Voelkerwho then threw the ball to Tyler Thomaswho was waiting right inside the goal lineHe caught the ball for the touchdown andSam Thomassons extra point kick made thehalftime score 13-9

The Shamrocks held the Olympians to athree-and-out in their first drive of thesecond half then put together a touchdown-scoring drive of their own Nate Froelich andquarterback Andrew Sweet marched the balldown the field and Froelich finished up the

drive by running four yards into the endzone Harrison did his part by convertingthe extra point attempt

That would be the last score of thegame but there would still be some bigplays to be made on the defensive endPerhaps the biggest was late in the thirdquarter when Columbus East was tryingto answer Westfields score

The Olympians drove their way downto the Shamrocks 1-yard line but a penalty

pushed them back to the 6 Columbus Eastsent its field goal unit out but it was a fakeNever fear - Justin Frey was there to pushthe Olympians Jonah Wichman out ofbounds and thus force a turnover on downs

I thought it was a huge play saidFrey It was a big momentum shift Westopped them three times on the goal linewhich was great by our defense Our D-lineplayed amazing all game

The defensive momentum carriedWestfield through the fourth quarter TheShamrocks forced Columbus East to puntwith 802 left then chewed up almost fiveminutes of clock in their next drive andalso got the Olympians to use one of theirtimeouts

Columbus East had one last drive with306 remaining but two holding penaltiesforced the Olympians back to their own3-yard line Josh Major made an 18-yardrun on 3rd-and-25 to get to his teams21-yard line but Caleb Sanburn stoppedhim on 4th-and-7 after a gain of two yardsWestfield took over and kneeled it out

I just say our experience playing 6Ateams and the tough schedule we have inthe regular season just kept us going said

Sweet We knew how to battle throughclose games and we did that tonight

Sweet finished the game 6-for-10 for57 yards with Evan Manley making fourreceptions for 44 yards Froelich carriedthe ball 15 times for 96 yards including hisbig touchdown run

Hank Grenda and Josh Tuffnell ledWestfields defense with 10 tackles eachGrenda made six solo stops and had fourassists while Tuffnell had four solo tacklesand six assists Byron Hubbard made 15sacks while Calvin Caldwell had twotackles for a loss

This was the third time the Shamrocksappeared in the football state finalsWestfield reached the 2A title game in1992 and played the 5A final in 2013
