Cedarville Wins 5th Straight

The Jackets matched their season-high with a five-game winning streak, defeating the Wilberforce Bulldogs 94-73 on Saturday night. Junior J.C.

Cedarville head coach Pat Estepp said Faubion matched his career high in points because of his off-ball movement. “He didn’t stop moving,” Estepp said. “He came off screens and was cutting really well. That is a big reason he got those 35.” ...

An Ultimate Bond

Cedarville’s club ultimate Frisbee team, The Swarm, hopes to play in the regional tournament in the spring just like last season. But with only 11 players returning, this will be difficult to do. The team graduated seven players in May 2015, which included all three captains and two other starters. One of the new captains, senior Andrew Richard, said making it back to the regional tournament would be great, but the team has a more important long-term goal. “Pretty much the last of the ...

A Cross-Country Move

When it comes to breaks, students like to compare how far they have to travel. Some students drive for half an hour, while others need half a day and multiple stops at gas stations. For two Cedarville cross country runners, sophomore Jodi Davis and freshman Cheyenne Applegate, home is over 4,000 miles away in Anchorage, Alaska. It takes 60 hours to drive there from Cedarville, and a one-way flight costs over $1,000 and takes 12 hours. Miles from home Davis’ entire family lives in Alaska, ...
