Yellow Jackets stumble at the Tennessee River Rumble
By Evan Martens
The Jackets traveled to Lenoir City, Tennessee, for the Tennessee River Rumble at Wind River Golf Club, where it did not go their way, as the men’s golf team finished T-17, shooting +61.
The tournament was an extremely tough challenge for the Jackets, which included the number one, fifth, ninth, 11th, 20th, 34th and 49th ranked teams in Division II.
The first round did not go as they had wanted from the jump. The Jackets, after just the first nine holes, sat in ...
‘Young Sherlock’ might have been better as a weekly release
By Sophie Monastra
A few weeks ago, the Arts & Entertainment division asked each other a question: Do you prefer having each episode released week by week, or for the entire season to drop at one time?
I forgot about this discussion until I opened Amazon Prime and discovered eight 45 to 55 minute episodes waiting for me.
As a proponent for the weekly release schedule, I believe “Young Sherlock” would have worked better as a more spaced-out release. Instead, audiences got a ...

By Balen Allain
Cedarville’s Marvel Rivals team took on Ottawa University in the quarterfinals, the first round of playoffs for the season. The Yellow Jackets were the second seed in their region, and Ottawa was the third seed in theirs.

Herschberger was happy with the team’s ...

Clearly, he’s doing something right.

‘Twenty One Pilots: More Than We Ever Imagined’ exemplifies the wonderful performers of the two-man show
By Teagan Warren
Twenty One Pilots (often stylized as TØP) released their first album in 2009. In 2015, their popularity exploded with the release of “Blurryface,” particularly with their songs “Stressed Out” and “Ride.” Their music, discussing the topic of mental health extensively, has served as an encouragement for many hurting audiences.
A unique aspect of this two-man show (consisting of Tyler Joseph as lead singer and multi-instrumentalist and Josh Dun as drummer) is ...
‘Othello’ demonstrates why Shakespeare stands alone
By Josh Ball
A theatrical release of a 500-year-old stage play feels weird in the modern world of action-packed blockbusters. Yet the newest depiction of “Othello” demonstrates why Shakespeare stands alone at the top of iconic writers of the English language.
Produced by Chris Harper Productions from the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London’s West End, “Othello” demonstrates all the benefits of a stage play. The movie version was refreshingly simple. In a world where Hollywood ...
‘The Ballad of Wallis Island’ is a comedy with depth, heart, humor and a killer soundtrack
By Sophie Monastra
“Oh, would you like to hear a story / About a man who's tired of life? / Rejected money, love and glory / To escape the city strife.”
Thus sings Herb McGwyer, half of the folk duo known as McGwyer Mortimer. In the 10-year wake of the disbanding of the duo, both musically and romantically, Herb has been creating various commercial pop collaborations to fund a solo album.
When invited to play a small gig for half a million pounds on the isolated Wallis ...

By Matt Schaeckenbach
There are well over 200 Division II programs that compete in track and field. From those 200+ programs, thousands of athletes compete for a coveted spot at the National Championships hosted each year.
18 people make it in the individual events; 12 teams make it in the relays.
