Soccer Coach Serves Students for 40 Years
When John McGillivray started coaching soccer at Cedarville College in 1974, Richard Nixon resigned, Leonardo DiCaprio entered the world, gas cost 55 cents a gallon and Cedarville students paid $30 per credit hour.
Over 40 years and 360 wins later, McGillivray has made a name for himself in Cedarville athletics. But when he’s off the field, he shows his love for others through his servant attitude.

Is Speech Ever Free?
Charlie Hebdo, a French satirical newspaper, is making news once again. This time, it’s for riots that have been sparked in Niger in response to the cartoons published in the most recent issue of the magazine.

Album Review: ‘I Will Follow’
Jeremy Camp’s latest album “I Will Follow” is much more high-energy than his previous albums, and though the lyrics are still convicting, this album’s songs are a little less likely to be sung during Sunday morning worship.

Lady Jackets Win 11 in a Row, Defeat Senators
On Saturday of Lil' Sibs' Weekend, the Lady Jackets defeated Davis & Elkins, 75-58.
The Senators measured up with the Lady Jackets more so than previous teams in terms of how they approached the game. They shared the basketball, and didn’t panic when they gave up baskets in bunches. The Senators, a team with a talented frontcourt, were able to post up and score in the paint.
Both teams were poised in terms of execution, and play was at a gridlock most of the first half. Before ...
