Marvel’s ‘Echo’ puts the mature back into the MCU without reaching its full potential
By Ben Konuch
Minor spoilers for “Echo” ahead.
"They're in my blood, in my heart. I’m a part of them, and they’re a part of me. I’m their legacy. Not yours."
In the midst of 2021, as many were experiencing what is now called “Marvel fatigue,” I found myself more intrigued and invested in Marvel than I ever was before. It wasn’t because of any recent releases, however, it was because when I got sick over Thanksgiving break, I finally got around to binging the first ...
Maughmer’s triple-double extends Jackets’ winning streak to five
By Emily Tuttle
The Cedarville men’s basketball team fought through a scrappy matchup and stoutly beat Wilberforce 98-70 on Wednesday night, January 17.
Wilberforce’s fast-paced nature forced the Jackets to push the ball and run the floor the entire game. The Jackets forced 19 turnovers and scored 24 points off of Wilberforce’s carelessness.
Cedarville played well as a team and moved the ball consistently. Although they shot only 31.7% from behind the arc, they ...
Cedarville mom and daughter review season six of ‘The Crown’
By Ashleigh Clark
My mom and I have been watching “The Crown” together for several years now. I make us lattes and we sit on our ugly green couch in the living room and binge each new season in a few days. As a lover of the Royal family and historical dramas, my mom was the perfect person to review the latest season of ‘The Crown’ with me.
First, a little about my mom: Michelle Clark graduated in 1991 with a Bachelor’s in History from Cedarville. She taught U.S. History ...
‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ episodes 3-4 paint an uncertain future for the series
By Ben Konuch
“The gods want you to believe that, that they are infallible. But they only want what all bullies want. They want us to blame themselves for their own shortcomings.”
“Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is officially halfway through its first season (of hopefully many), and as much I wish to be able to call this series great as a huge fan of the books, I have to settle with saying that it is good. The last two episodes of the series once again do a fantastic job at ...
Just Sayin’: The case for better small talk
By: Maggie Fipps
College students are lazy.
Yes, that was a ploy to get you to keep reading. Sorry, not sorry.
College students are not lazy in the stereotypical, lay-around-on-the-couch-eating-nothing-but-junk-food-way, although the number of episodes of Gilmore Girls I watched this weekend is a little alarming.
They are lazy in their small talk.
Just think about the times you met someone new this semester. Whether you are a freshman or a senior, the first ...
Cedarville Yellow Jackets weather the Lake Erie Storm in G-MAC showdown
By: Maggie Fipps
The Cedarville Yellow Jackets defeated the Lake Erie Storm 92-86 on Saturday night. No, not the winter storm that raged outside, the storm brewing between these two G-MAC rivals.
Off the first tip, forward Jacob Drees scored, settling himself in as the offensive touchpoint of the game. He finished one assist shy of a triple double.
“He's a catalyst to a lot of what we're doing,” said Cedarville Coach Pat Estepp. “He's starting to get back to where we knew ...
Brads’ Breakdown: 26 key stats for the NFL Playoffs
By Alan Brads
Michigan, Pete Carroll, Nick Saban, Bill Belichick.
What a week in football.
But the fun has only just begun with wildcard weekend around the corner.
The NFL’s format gives us enough consistency to find trends and stats to predict how things might go down between now and Super Bowl Sunday.
For example, before you pick Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce to usher in another Super Bowl era, did you know no team has won back-to-back Super Bowls since 2004? The ...
Turning Dorm Hallways into Different Worlds and Places: Deck the Halls at Cedarville University

Each resident dorm hall is responsible for creating a walk-through story to lead students through. Creativity has no bounds, and the organizers put together a great show.
