"We runnin, we workin, we sweatin, we WARRIORS"

At halftime Eastmoor Warriors of Columbus, OH are winning 22-7. 

First quarter, Quincy Colvin (junior) kicked off the ball returning it into the Westland Cougars in zone. Cougars ran it back for a 80 yard touchdown. Cougars kicked in the ball in for a 1 point conversion.

Second quarter, Westland Cougars fumble the ball and was recovered by Colvin at the fifty yard line. Next play, Eastmoor's quarter back Tyler Simmons (senior) threw a 55 yard bomb for George Daniels (senior) to catch in the in zone. 

Thoughtout the second quarter Cougars have been receiving the ball to only fumble or throw an interception. Cougars have failed to make it passed their thirty yard line.

It's easy to say that Eastmoor Warriors are hungry today. 

In the words of the Warriors, "we runnin, we workin, we sweatin, we WARRIORS."

From A Scared Freshman To A Confident Freshman

Today, I met a freshman football player here at Wittenberg by the name of Devon Hightower. He expressed to me how these couple of weeks he's been here at Witt have changed his life. 

Devon is from Connecticut and before he arrived at Witt he explained how nervous he was. He didn't know what to expect nor was he willing to step out of his comfort zone. 

As I listened to Devon talk about being here at Wittenberg I notice how he began to relax. His shoulders became less tense and he was able to look me in my eyes as he spoke. It was like he was finding himself. He was gaining confidence in himself. 

Now I didn't know Devon before he came to Wittenberg but I could tell how much of a difference this school has made in his life. There was one thing he said that stuck with me...

"Wittenberg has already taught me to go after anything I want in life," said Hightower. 

Just by knowing how much his life has changed in these couples of weeks he's been here makes it that much easier for me to sleep at night. Because now I know Wittenberg had done their job at impacting a persons life and passing on the Torch.

Job well done Witt!  

Let's Start The Year Of Right: Classroom Expectations

There is no doubt that every college students has wondered what every single one of their classes will be like. Some courses may cause you to feel a little bit nervous and some courses may make you feel like you can take the class in your sleep (I don't recommend that). However, each student still needs to approach each class with high expectations. Starting off with a positive attitude and making a good impression is an absolute must. Here are some great suggestions to being successful in each classroom and will get you headed in the right direction:


Be on time or early. This will allow you to find a great seat, talk to your professor before class starts, and even allow you to look over your notes before that "pop quiz."


Be prepared and organized. You'll more than likely be taking notes in each and every class. As long as you're organized you will know where your things are at all times and you won't have to ask your neighbor to borrow a pen (you're in college now).


Get to know your professor. Just as much as they want to get to know you, you should want to get to know them. Therefore, you will be comfortable with talking to them one on one about papers, exams, and even catching up on life events.


GO TO CLASS. If you want a good grade don't be lazy. Get out of bed and make the day count. Be willing and open to learning new things even if you aren't crazy about the class.


Ask questions. Your questions will never get answered if you don't ask the question. There are no such things as dumb questions. So, don't be afraid to ask that some question over and over again until you completely understand it. Your professors and peers are there for a reason. Let them help you.


Turn off your cell phone. Texting Mr. or Mrs. right now will not help you get an A on that paper or exam. They can wait.
