EditorialSimply Wrote… Where were you? By Heather Isaacs Staff Writer

Ten years ago we all were devastated by the attacks on the United States in New York, Washing- ton, D.C. and Pennsylvania. We sat at work, home and school with our families and friends wondering what was next. Not knowing what tomorrow would bring or for that matter what the next few hours would bring on that day left us all uncertain. We were uncertain of things we were sure of in the days before these heinous attacks on our freedom. I started out my day like most 21-year-old college students. I raced around frantically trying to gather my books and my thoughts before my classes began. To me this was an ordinary day, the chaos of my own life. Little did I know things were about to change. I was sitting in one of my journalism classes working on assignments. The Professors name was Dan Hollis, who still teaches journalism at Marshall University. To you and most of my readers these events may seem trivial and unimportant. However, to me they will forever mark a time in history for myself much like the things everyone else was doing during this specific time. We received notice of what was going and made our way to the newsroom when class was dismissed early. We sat in silence in a room that was normally bustling with student reporters running in and out getting assignments and typing articles as the second plane destroyed the Twin Towers.

Defense and rushing controlled the game throughout, but two big pass plays provided the cushion and confidence Independence needed en route to a comfortable win against Sherman on Friday night, 48-7. Patriots quarterback Brian Sexton connected on each of his two pass attempts on the game for long touchdowns in the second quarter to pull away, but a solid running game and stellar defense established the tone early and throughout at George D. Covey Field. Independence (2-0) accumulated 220 yards rushing overall, while the Patriots first-team defense held the Tide (0-2) to 1 yard offensively in the first Van’s Tyler Gunnoe runs the ball against Tug Valley Friday night for a big gain.

“Growing pains” is how Scott soccer head coach Zach Boyd summed up the loss to Class AA soccer powerhouse Oak Hill on Thursday night (August 25). The young Skyhawks suffered their largest defeat of their new season by being taken down 12-0 by the visiting Red Devils. “I know we are just getting started, but we experienced a program that showed us where we eventually want to be. ”, the coach explained. Oak Hill came into the contest as the state runner- up in Class AA/A from the 2010 season having lost the championship 4-1 to Charleston Catholic. “Oak Hill appears to be a state title contender again this year. They work well together and are continuously a scoring threat” Coach Boyd said.
