Cedarville men’s basketball gets hot from deep, wins G-MAC opener

By Alan Brads Cedarville defeated Ohio Dominican 75-56 in their G-MAC opener on Thursday, November 30. The win lifts the Yellow Jackets to 4-3, back above the the .500 mark, and more importantly 1-0 in the G-MAC. The Panthers drop to 1-4. “Getting that first conference win is big,” Head Coach Pat Estepp said. “And getting it the way we did … I’m really proud of them.” A 17-1 run in the second half made all the difference after a first half where it felt like both teams ...

Brads’ Breakdown: Ode to the four team playoff

By Alan Brads Usually, I am a proud member of the four team playoff club. I dread next year's change to the 12 team playoff which irreparably degrades the meaningfulness of regular season games and conference championship games. We lose high-stakes games like last week’s Ohio State-Michigan, or this week’s Pac-12 championship. After all, if Oregon loses to Washington twice, do they really deserve a third shot? But this week, as a Buckeyes fan, I long for the 12 team College Football ...

Brads’ Breakdown: The Eye of the Storm

By Alan Brads We are standing in the eye of the storm of the 2023 college football season. Behind us, seven (almost) consecutive action packed weeks of college football, broken up only by a sleepy week 9. Ahead of us, The Game, conference championship games, and the college football playoff. And here in week 12 … not too much. But the tide always recedes before a tsunami. The SEC takes their annual November vacation to the FCS, sponsored by Downy Ultra Soft detergent no doubt. Hopefu...

Lady Jackets fall to Wayne State in home opener

By Alan Brads The Cedarville Lady Jackets basketball team fell to Wayne State 78-68 in their home opener. Cedarville’s high intensity kept them leading throughout the majority of the first half, but they ran out of steam in the second half, and made too many mistakes to hang with Wayne State until the end. “We’re a defensive team, and we didn’t play very well defensively as a group,” First year Head Coach Addy Miller said. “At times, we did the first effort really well. We ...

By Emily Tuttle Fans packed Cedarville High School’s stadium Friday evening to watch one of the university’s favorite fall traditions — the Gridiron Classic. Gridiron features two games of women’s and men’s dorms in an aggressive flag football match. Printy claimed their fifth straight win over Maddox in a 17-0 finish. In the same fashion, Lawlor edged The Hill 14-10 and extended their win streak to eight years. In the women’s game, Printy dominated on the offensive side ...

Brads’ Breakdown: New month, new stakes

By Alan Brads Champions are crowned in December and January. They are forged in November. How do you fare when you play three tough conference games in a row? Can you bounce back from a loss? When your star linebacker gets thrown out for targeting, can you rally against your archrival? Can you handle the snow? Balanced teams have the best chance to address all those questions. That is why I love Oregon’s chances in the Pac-12, and Ohio State or Michigan to win postseason games. ...
