Developers hoping to be a part of the launch of the Ouya platform can submit their games beginning today to be available when the console ships to Kickstarter backers. In a blog post on its official site, head of developer relations Kellee Santiago wrote that any game uploaded and placed in the store starting today will be available to download on consoles shipping to backers March 28, and through June when the device hits both online and brick-and-mortar retailers.
After interested parties submit their games, they will be reviewed by the Ouya team, which will notify the developer if any kinks need to be worked out. After the games go live, Ouya will allow developers to update as often as they need to at no additional cost.
Developers who publish their game before March 28 will also be eligible for a spot in Ouya's upcoming short documentary series. "We want to share your process, ups and downs, everything that goes into making the thing that you love," Santiago wrote. Titles that make it into the top three most-played spots in the first six weeks after Ouya ships to Kickstarter backers will be featured in one of those documentaries, which will then be shared as part of launch marketing.
Ouya has certainly undergone many changes since its successful Kickstarter funding, including the news last month that it would launch a new version of the console every year to take advantage of lower prices and better hardware. Ouya will officially launch to the public in June for $99.

CHERRYVILLE � When the 2013 North Carolina Area IV semifinals began Tuesday night, the Lincoln County Cardinals had never won even a single semifinal playoff game in their 21-year history.
After Wednesday�s 3-1 win at Cherryville, the Cardinals are a single win away from a semifinal series victory � and a berth in their first-ever state tournament.
Lincoln County (19-11) has three shots at getting that clincher in the best-of-five series, starting with Thursday�s 7 p.m. home game at East Lincoln High School.
�Hopefully it�ll be no different than the first two games,� said Cardinals coach Bruce Bolick, whose team won 7-3 in Game 1 on Tuesday night. �We got good pitching and timely hitting tonight.�
In Wednesday�s Game 2 victory, Cardinals� left-hander Hayden Deal and right-hander Darin Salter outdueled Cherryville right-hander Heath King in a 132-minute pitcher�s duel at Fraley Field. And Clay Hodges continued his playoff hot streak with a perfect four-for-four performance, one of the three runs and one of the three RBIs.
�Hayden pitched a heckuva game and Darin came and closed it out for us,� Bolick said. �And Clay Hodges has really given us a big lift. He�s been through a lot and maybe he lost his confidence a bit.�
Hodges had injured his hip during East Lincoln High�s 2012 2A football championship game in December, but is eight for nine in the current semifinal series.
�He�s hitting with discipline and putting the ball in play,� Bolick said of Hodges.
After the teams went scoreless for five innings, Lincoln County (19-11) scored twice in the sixth inning.
Randal Ortiz and Hodges hit back-to-back singles to open the inning, both eventually scoring on Danny Sullivan�s RBI single and Jacob Hoover�s RBI groundout, respectively.
Cherryville responded on Hunter Jackson�s two-out RBI single in the bottom of the sixth.
Lincoln then tacked on an insurance run in the seventh on Hodges� two-out RBI single.
Deal yielded seven hits, one walk and one hit batter in seven innings before Salter retired six of the seven batters he faced � yielding only a one-out walk in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Cherryville (16-14) coach Bobby Reynolds felt his team didn�t show enough discipline at the plate against the Lincoln County pitchers.
�I thought our hitters just didn�t perform with guys in scoring position,� said Reynolds, whose team is in jeopardy of seeing its record streak of consecutive Area IV titles end at six. �It was more a lack of our ability to hit than their pitching.
�To win a series, you�ve got to get two-out hits. We�re not getting them. Maybe getting another ring (for the area title) isn�t as important to the players as it is to the coaching staff.�
Hodges� four hits led Lincoln County�s nine-hit offense. Cameron High had two hits for Cherryville.

We felt tonight's ATB of #1 UNC losing to Boston College deserves its own post.
Boston College 85, UNC 78. It's conference season, isn't it? In just the last seven days, we've now had the consensus way-better-than-everyone-else teams (UNC and UConn for those of you just tuning in) lose to conference foes. At home. In games where neither appeared to be the better team. There was considerable talk in the last couple of weeks of the likelihood of Carolina going undefeated this season, and we always sorta rolled our eyes when we heard such talk. There are several reasons for this:
- First, it just doesn't happen. A hunted team like Carolina simply will not bring its A+ game every single night, no matter how good they are or how faux-slighted they feel (and how slighted can you feel when you're being told how great you are at every turn?). There are always a couple of games where that team will come out flat or fail to properly motivate because their press clippings have gone to their head.
- Second, while this UNC team is stacked relative to the rest of college basketball this season and remains the prohibitive favorite to win the national title in April, the level of talent of their individual players simply isn't so otherworldly ridiculous that other teams can't play and compete with them. As evidence here, we saw what Kansas with its two lottery picks (one actual and one shoulda-been) did to them in the first half of last year's F4 game (40-12), and much of the reason behind this year's hype is because all of UNC's players returned to school, and the reason for THAT is that none/zilch/zero/nada would have been lottery picks had they entered the NBA Draft last spring. Put simply, nobody in college basketball is so talented that they can play half-assed or have a bad game collectively and still win every game.
- Third, Carolina plays in a conference like the ACC, and leagues like that are simply too good on a yearly basis to allow teams like UNC to run roughshod over them. There are exceptions – we know Duke in 1999 went 16-0 in that league, and more recently, Kentucky went 16-0 in the SEC in 2003, but those teams had already lost a pre-conference game(s) so there wasn't nearly the same pressure that an unbeaten #1 will face throughout the conference slate. The only possibility for an unbeaten team in today's early-entry NCAA basketball environment is something akin to what Memphis was able to do last year or UNLV in 1991 – roll through its vastly inferior conference unbeaten and (for the most part) untested. The problem is that scenario tends to catch up with those teams during March Madness, as both of those teams in that example learned.
So what happened tonight? It's simple and it's the same problem that Carolina had last year. Their offense is unmatched by anybody in the country, but their defense sometimes takes nights off. Against the 68th toughest schedule to date, the UNC offense is the second-most efficient offense in America, but only the 18th most efficient defense. Most of that ranking is attributable to Carolina's ability to force turnovers (4th in the nation), but the Heels simply don't get enough stops from their halfcourt defense – it ranks 60th at defending twos and 81st at defending threes – not exactly national-title defensive numbers there. (To be fair, last year's Heels were even worse defensively, but UNC's schedule will only get tougher from here on out, which should negatively impact those numbers.)
Tonight BC never flinched, shooting 45% from the field and hitting nine threes in the Dean Dome, led by Tyrese Rice's 25/5/8 assts (who continues his torching of Carolina with 91 pts in his last three games against UNC) and Rakim Sanders' 22/6/7 stls. BC not only got the lead in the first half (no big deal), but they held on to as UNC repeatedly got it down to two and even in the last few minutes as BC predictably went cold and UNC made its last-ditch efforts. Carolina didn't help itself, though as the Heels were ice cold, especially in the second half (29%) and even more especially Ty Lawson (3-13), and the typically excellent Tar Heel free throwers (#13 nationally at 75%) only managed 5-12 in the last 8 minutes and 15-27 for the game. Perhaps most importantly, the Heels only forced BC into 10 turnovers, and it was clear that this was something head coach Al Skinner had drilled into his players' heads, realizing that TOs are the kindling that fuels the UNC attack.
But BC was not to be denied tonight, and #1 goes down, only slightly spoiling the juicy UNC @ Wake matchup scheduled for next weekend. Whether BC uses this win as a springboard to a surprising season remains to be seen, as its only truly bad loss thus far was at St. Louis, but for tonight they are the giant-killers and the Eagles should be commended for taking it to the vaunted Heels in their house. Come Monday morning, we'd expect to see BC ranked for the first time in a couple of years, and that gasp you hear from western Pennsylvania has nothing to do with the Steelers – rather, it's Jamie Dixon's team prepping itself for it's school-first #1 ranking in the AP Poll. College hoops, you gotta love it.

However, I was pointing out that most of BMW's range is now being built to compete with the Japanese. The company has even said as much in some cases.
If you want to be competetive, that means you must expect to be subject to scrutiny and comparison on many levels. Most of the people I know who ride japanese bikes (and I'm one of them) do shop around.
The Italians, on the other hand, aren't playing that game. A Ducati is still distinctly a Ducati, a Moto Guzzi is still distinctly a Guzzi. They stand out in identity and most are sold to people who want to have one, period (they're not shopping around much, if at all).

Design TeamBas ten Brinke (Project Leader) and Carina Nilsson MScA (Project Architect)
Project Start2003
Commissionerthe City of Almere, the Netherlands, DMO NME, Hans Warrink
ContractorReimert Bouw- en Infra, Almere, the Netherlands, Ben van Nieuwenhuizen
Budget300.000 EURO (US $465.693)
Area400.0 m2
Project Year2007
Text description provided by the architects. The city of Almere has a sheep population of about 80 sheep. The sheep are mobilized to keep the powerful weed acanthus or bears-breech that grows in the "vroege vogel" - forest and "kromsloot" - park in Almere under control. To centralize and house this population, a sheep stable was needed. The stable is designed with an a-symmetrical homogeneous cross-section.
The construction (pine) and cladding (Western Red Cedar) are made of wood. Only the curved girders are made of steel. This was done to emphasise the tube-like shape of the interior, which would have been less strong using twice as high wooden girders. The tube has three strategically placed daylight openings, of which one is close to the floor level, so people can look inside even when the building is closed.
The stable is designed to make it possible for the public or school classes to visit the building and experience the keeping of sheep up close. At one end of the building, on the second floor, a room for the shepherd and a small office is realised. There are sleeping facilities for the shepherd, who has to stay over night in case any sheep are lambing. Work in and around the stable will be done by, amongst others, people who live with a mental social or psychiatric disability, supervised by the shepherd.
Apart from the public function, the Muslim community will be able to buy the lambs they need for yearly ritual purposes.

Alcantara wants first team football amidst new Chelsea interest
Thiago Alcantara says he must get more first team football next season or risk jeopardising his dream of playing for Spain at the 2014 World Cup.
The Barcelona playmaker demonstrated his talents to the world with a brilliant hat-trick in Spain's 4-2 U21 European Championship final win over Italy earlier this week.
Manchester United are keen on snapping up the 22-year-old and may be able to do so on the cheap.
According to reports Alcantara's release clause has dropped to €18 million because he didn't play enough first team fixtures last season.
Spanish newspaper Sport claimed this week that Alcantara has told Barcelona he wants to leave the club having grown tired of being back-up to the likes of Xavi and Andres Iniesta.
The player himself didn't offer any hints about his future when interviewed by Catalan radio station RAC1, but did say it is vital to his career that he gets first team football next season..
"I have always had patience," he said. "There are no more under-age teams left so now we are thinking about the senior side.
"To play a World Cup would be a dream, my biggest aspiration. I must play games with my club and show in the day-to-day action that I can be with the senior side."
Barcelona are believed to be keen on persuading Alcantara to stay, but ESPN report today that Chelsea have emerged as contenders for his signature along with Manchester United.
The website claim that Chelsea are considering a move to take the young midfielder to Stamford Bridge - something sure to alarm Manchester United fans keen on seeing him turn out at Old Trafford next term.News Now - Sport News

Youngsters learning about nature at summer camp
Monday, June 24, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
At just 10 years of age, Doug Brown hasn't yet spent a lot of time in a garden. Between youth sports and all of the technology at his fingertips, he's yet to develop is green thumb.
But he and nine other youngsters got a chance to start that process this week at the Pittsburg State University Nature Reach summer camps for kids. The camp is taking place at the PSU Natural History Reserve and is for students who have just completed or are just entering the fifth grade.
"We are getting to learn a lot of stuff that we don't usually learn about," Brown, a student at St. Mary's Elementary School, said. "The best parts are the animals and the garden."
Delia Lister, PSU's Nature Reach coordinator, said the camp is aimed at exposing young kids to all things nature.
"It's all about nature this week," she said. "We want to get the kids outside and let them see and work with all aspects of nature, from plants to animals to weather. We want them to have fun, but we also want them to learn."
Eleven-year-old Luke Kramer, who is about to enter the sixth grade at Pittsburg Community Middle School, said he's enjoying learning new things.
"It really is kind of awesome to learn about different animals and foods and plants," Kramer said. "It's kind of hot outside, so that's rough, but it's still pretty awesome. I love coming out here."
The camp runs from 9 a.m. to noon each day. The last day for the camp is Friday, June 21.

Have you thought about the example you set for your children each day when it comes to healthy eating and exercise?
Many times our children keep us so busy that we feel we don't have time to work out or prepare healthy meals, but we must be good role models.
Children follow our example and begin forming eating and exercise habits that last a lifetime. Let your children see you enjoy nutritious food with portion control. Never treat food as a reward and never talk about numbers on a scale. The focus should always be on health and a positive body image.
Take time to plan, cook and eat meals together.
When your children see you grab a bag of chips or cookies or a soda, they also will. Keep fruit and healthy snacks around at all times. If that's all they have to choose from, they will eat it.
Take time to play with your children.
Whatever sport your child participates in, practice with them. If it's soccer, get out and kick the ball around, even if you can't run and keep up with them. Performing small kicks and moving around is better than sitting in your car and watching.
Find things to do with your kids to get them off the couch. Get out and walk for at least an hour. Seeing sites and moving around won't seem like exercise.
My favorite is to stay home. Let your child ride his or her bike or scooter. While they ride, you can make your own workout using a curb with step-ups or a jump rope or jog.
There are no excuses! Exercise should be a daily part of your routine in some way. Even just 30 minutes. We can all find 30 minutes to play with our children every day. It becomes quality time that makes everyone feel good and look good.
Melanie Edwards, personal trainer and fitness instructor, is certified in IFTA, NETA, ACE, AFFA and Johnny G spin. She can be contacted at email@example.com or the Islands YMCA at 912-897-1192.
We all know that exercise enables us to live a longer and healthier life, but we have good reasons why we can't exercise. Maybe we feel that we are too old to start now. Or maybe we have kids, we have aches and pains, we can't afford a gym membership, we don't have time, etc. Follow Hot 'n Healthy for the next few weeks to learn how you can overcome your obstacles and find the motivation to make 2014 your year of no excuses.

2015 Year In Review
2015 Year In Review
After three straight years attending at least 100 high school football games in person, I fell just short of triple digits this year. Mostly due to my own decisions on which games to attend. I attended 97 high school football games. My wife, who I married earlier this year, though, managed to attend 90 of those games. Which puts her at 204 in the last two years. Of those 97 games, two were 8-man games in Iowa.
Keeping with tradition, this is a breakdown of my travels. This year I've seen games in 10 different states. I saw games on 18 different weekends. My first game of the year was on August 20th in Bristol, Tennessee and the last game was on December 19th in Houston, Texas. I watched games in 47 different stadiums in 44 different cities in 10 different states.I saw 188 different teams from those 10 states. Only a handful of games this year did I miss kickoff. The longest was the Cardinal Mooney-Warren Harding game, where I missed the entire first quarter.
In games I've attended, there was 4,750 points scored, for an average of 48.97 points per game (1.98/game less than last year). The cumulative score was 3,357 to 1,393 for an average score of 34.61-14.361 compared to the 34.43-15.53 from last year. In total, there were 10 shutouts and the most points scored was 64 by Newburgh (as opposed to 12 shutouts and 70 was the high last year). No games were called early due to weather, thankfully.
Most games witnessed in one week was 12 in Week 12 (Thursday through Saturday). Ten in Week 17. Nine in Week 2. Eight in Week 14 and six in Week 11. The fewest was in Week 15 only attending 3 games.

Every year, I list my opinion on the quality of teams, fan support, state organization, etc, for the states I've seen games for in person. Once again, Texas is #1 in almost all measures. For the second straight year, I did not attend the Ohio state championships, nor did I see the Pennsylvania state championships. I'll explain my scheduling later on.
Fan Support by State:
1. Texas
2. Ohio
3. Pennsylvania
4. Louisiana
5. Michigan
6. Iowa
7. Kentucky
8. West Virginia
9. New York
10. Tennessee
There's no debate at the top. (1) Texas is, without a doubt, the most fan support. Even with games stuck in Houston, which seems to support HS Football less than the DFW area. (2) Ohio just comes out for the games each week. It's the cultural thing to do. (3) Same with Pennsylvania, though lacking compared to when I was a kid. Partly due to the rural areas shrinking with aging populations not making it out to games the way they did before. Weather, was, overall pretty good. (4) My first time in Louisiana was enjoyable, though the stadium I did not like. The fans came out, even those from near the Arkansas border. A local rivalry between St. James and Lutcher fared well at the dome. The two metro schools were lacking, however. (5) For location and distance, Michigan draws very well for the Ford Field championship game. River Ishpeming, from the U.P. has brought a good crowd. (6) Iowa improved. But, I think that's more the weather and matchups. And these are the semifinals. After making a trip once to the semifinals in Cedar Falls, I think fans aren't as likely to return the very next weekend. (7) The Rec Bowl had a horrible crowd, though the crowd was decent for the smallish Death Valley Bowl. (8) West Virginia was a let down. Wheeling Park drew well to a championship game at their own venue, and St. Marys had a great crowd for their second home game at their new stadium, but the other two championship games and the two other WV games I attended were miniscule. Even by the standards of who was playing. (9) New York is New York. Great weather at the start of the season keeps fans away. Bad weather at the end of the season keeps fans away. And lastly, (10) Tennessee. One game, and it was a stadium I wanted to see, Bristol Municipal Stadium. However, the crowd was very sparse for a big matchup between Dobyns-Bennett and Tennessee.
Quality of Play (personal opinion, weighted for size of schools/public-private, etc):
1. Texas
2. Ohio
3. Louisiana
4. Pennsylvania
5. Michigan
6. West Virginia
7. Kentucky
8. Tennessee
9. Iowa
10. New York
Not much to save overall. Ohio and PA are still up there. Texas is #1 barely in my book. Louisiana, for their title teams, had great teams, but horrible matchups that made it a bit of a let down. In the middle, Michigan, West Virginia, and Kentucky are close. Tennessee hasn't ever impressed me overall and still hasn't. Iowa is near the bottom. Good solid teams, but just won't be able to win against teams from the states above them most of the time. And New York is, again, New York.
Overall enjoyment of the 'events' that I attended:
1. Iowa Semifinals (12 games in 3 days)
2. Michigan Finals (8 games in 2 days)
3. Texas UIL Finals (10 games in 3 days)
4. West Virginia Finals (3 games in 2 days)
5. Louisiana Finals (5 games in 2 days)
6. Syracuse Kickoff Classic (10 games in 4 days, only saw 8)
7. Death Valley Bowl (2 games in 1 day)
8. New York Section 6 Finals (5 games in 2 days, only saw 2)
9. Montgomery County Rec Bowl (2 games in 1 day)
Compared to years past, it's odd to see me consider Texas so low. When they first started hosting 9 of 10 eleven-man championships (and later all ten) on the same weekend at the same venue, it was a great time. However, that was because of the unbelievable venue that is Cowboys/AT&T Stadium. This year's games were held in Houston at NRG Stadium. And despite being an NFL stadium. It is just an NFL stadium. No different than any other venue. It is not AT&T Stadium, which is on an entirely different level.
So, what's #1? Iowa. The level of play may not be as high, but seeing twelve semifinals in four days is a fun experience. The stadium is domed and warm for an Iowa winter. It seats a decent amount for what the games draw. Great sightlines. And the games are competitive. No real blowouts out of the 12. One overtime. Many games within 20 points. Michigan is mostly the venue contributing to the high ranking. Again, a dome that makes winter game palatable. My wife's key requirement for the later season games if the weather wasn't good. The games in Detroit were also pretty good overall.
The West Virginia Finals work due to overall cost. No parking cost. And the pre and mid-game entertainment is going to the casino that shares the same parking lot. The games were horrid, though. Only redeemed by hometown Wheeling Park winning their first ever title. Louisiana had tough matchups with nothing really entertaining. The stadium only opened the club level the second day for an increased cost. The seats are small. If you're a big guy, you would hate games here. It's 40 years old, and the seats, though replaced, weren't done well and even the locals complained the post-Katrina rehab to the venue squeezed more seats in at the cost of the size of the seats. Good crowds and fan support, though. The Syracuse Kickoff Classic is only down low because the lack of air-conditioning. Some of the games were real bad, as well. Including the 64-0 Newburgh-Henninger game. The last three were doubleheaders. With the Rec Bowl being the worst. The home venue for Montgomery County has the home team face west into the sun. The game got moved up one hour, to stare even longer into the blazing sun. Overall, just a horrid venue that I'll remember to avoid in the future.
Best games:
20150904 HSF SYRACUSE NOTTINGHAM (NY) 12, Rome (NY) 6, Nicholas DiBello Stadium, Syracuse, NY
20150912 HSF NEW CASTLE SHENANGO 20, New Castle Neshannock 12, Glenn Pop Johnston Stadium, New Castle, PA
20151008 HSF STOW-MUNROE FALLS 17, Hudson 10, Bulldog Stadium, Stow, OH
20151016 HSF Greenville 21, Greenville Reynolds 18, Alumni Stadium, Greenville, PA
20151113 HSF Reinbeck Gladbrook-Reinbeck (IA) 19, Denver (IA) 16 (OT), UNI-Dome, Cedar Falls, IA*
20151113 HSF Akron-Westfield (IA) 36, Mount Ayr (IA) 35, UNI-Dome, Cedar Falls, IA*
20151127 HSF Detroit MLK (MI) 40, Lowell (MI) 38, Ford Field, Detroit, MI** (D2)
20151219 HSF Houston North Shore (TX) 21, Austin Westlake (TX) 14 (OT), NRG Stadium, Houston, TX** (6AD1)
Again, I had more games than I wanted to limit it to, so had to make some decisions to get it down to a respectable Top 8. First game was 6-0 for a while, before Rome tied it late. Then, Nottingham scored with less than a minute to win it, 12-6. In the rain, Shenango and Neshannock were scoreless through the first half. Then, as the skies relented, the muddy running games gave way to some sloppy passing games. But, in a big suburban New Castle rivalry, Shenango snapped Neshannock's regular season winning streak. The Thursday Stow-Hudson game just was good, competitive, good ending, big crowd, etc. Greenville-Reynolds turned into another great Backyard Brawl, with Greenville winning again. Gladbrook-Reinbeck/Denver was the first of both Overtime games to make this list. Just a great, competitive game that was tied late to setup overtime. Very next game that day was Akron-Westfield/Mount Ayr. Mount Ayr scored to take the lead, and then Akron-Westfield scored very late to setup a game-tying extra point. However, they went for two and won the game. Great finish. Detroit MLK was down 38-34 after Lowell looked to be firmly on their way to a state championship. A few plays, including a last second heave to the endzone that was caught set MLK's side into delirium. And the final game is from Texas, North Shore was the better team, but Westlake made it exciting at the end, but North Shore scored in OT while Westlake came up short.
Worst games:
20150919 HSF Houston Chartiers-Houston 47, INDUSTRY WESTERN BEAVER 6, Western Beaver Stadium, Industry, PA
20150926 HSF New Kensington Valley 35, HERMAN SUMMIT 8, Herman Field, Herman, PA
20151024 HSF Kane 26, ST. MARYS ELK COUNTY CATHOLIC 0, Dutch Country Stadium, St. Marys, PA
20151204 HSF Bridgeport (WV) 39, Fort Gay Tolsia (WV) 0, Wheeling Island Stadium, Wheeling, WV** (2A)
20151218 HSF Richmond George Ranch (TX) 56, Mansfield Lake Ridge (TX) 0, NRG Stadium, Houston, TX** (5AD1)
Most of the shutouts, other than the 7-0 ones could be listed here. However, I narrowed it down to just miserable games. Mostly weather or venue related. First up is Chartiers-Houston at Western Beaver in a frequent rain. The Beavers just were taken to the woodshed. If only for a mercy rule and a lenient opponent, this would've been worse. But, it was their first touchdown of the year in garbage time.
Summit Academy's 'field' is basically just that. Located east of Butler, PA, it's a reform school for adjudicated youth. Their 'stadium' is just two moveable bleachers on one side for the visitors. Luckily, there is a large hill sloping down from the road with a blacktopped landing that they set up some folding chairs. The trees give decent shade, but you're stuck with endzone seating with some trees in your way. And with a pregnant wife, there was no bathrooms. Which is a horrible faux pax when chosing a game. The Kane-ECC game was in a heavy, cold rain. It was a battle of unbeatens, but it just had little excitement as Kane was the only one to get some ball movement and score a few times. Wind destroyed my umbrella as well. I was soaked for days after this game. Just horrible. The first title game in West Virginia was just an uncompetitive game that had little excitement. And the last game, was in Texas, where George Ranch absolutely destroyed Lake Ridge. Both teams were making their first title game appearance as both were relatively new schools. Lake Ridge just didn't belong in this game.

Without seeing the Ohio titles, there's a glut of Texas teams at the top. Katy, by far, was the best team I saw. They obliterated Austin Westlake. Going through them, I didn't really see anything that just stood out as very odd compared to how good I felt a particular team might be. At the low end, four Ohio schools round out the bottom. Given that non-Ohio/PA games tend to be playoff or championships, that's not unexpected. I actually thought Beallsville was worse, though they have ample reasons why they had such a tough year. Dola Hardin Northern could've named the score, if they wanted to. And they're only ranked #11935. Ashtabula St. John, though, is not a good team. Conotton Valley didn't surprise me at the bottom. They lost badly to Bishop Donahue (#10194) and at home to Bishop Rosecrans (#11658).
This was the fourth straight year seeing primarily Ohio or Pennsylvania games. Unlike in years past where I was trying to see 'the most games' I could in a year, my wife and I opted to see some different places and had to decide what to see some weeks. Because of that, I saw 30 fewer games than last year.
Last year I met my wife just before the start of the high school football season. She attended 114 games with me. This year, prior to the season, we got married. Of the 97 games I saw, she was there for 90 of them. Which is impressive since she was pregnant the entire time with our first child. Her biggest issue was rainy weather. Otherwise, she was generally by my side. She was in Florida with her family during Week 3 and missed four games. She missed the Friay morning game at the Carrier Dome in Week 2. She missed the Warren JFK-Columbiana Crestview night game not feeling well. And, due to the rain stayed home for the Cardinal Mooney-Warren Harding game because the prospect of rain. We also missed a few games together due to not feeling well. Week 2 in Syracuse, we let early on Saturday before the fourth game. And to head home earlier, we left after only the second of three games.
The finances are combined this year. So, it's the total cost. As I didn't let her spend money on the trips unlike last year when we were still just dating and she wanted to contribute. Her primary contribution is that she receives free gas through her employer. Which is a big positive. However, it's only locally at one chain, so venturing outside of Pennsylvania or Ohio means purchasing gas. Our new car gets about 38mpg, so fuel costs were negligible this season unlike in the past.
We also cut our total driving for the year from 21,190 miles last season to 12,840 miles this year. Last year we had a long trip to Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Illinois. Also a second trip to Syracuse and trips to MetLife Stadium and Hershey, PA. We also went to Cincinnati for Week 1 and the Crosstown Showdown. We passed on that this year. Week 14 was a short trip to Detroit. Week 15 was an even shorter trip to Wheeling, West Virginia. And Week 16 and Week 17 was a combined trip to New Orleans and Houston for two weekends. Of those 12,840 miles driven just for high school games, my wife drove probably no more than 1,000 of them.
I spent a total of 8,007.88 to attend 97 high school football games as well as gas, food and parking for 6 Cleveland Browns games not counting the tickets. Which were an additional $1,400 for a grand total for the fall season of $9,407.88. The two regular season games I didn't attend were the Bengals game (I was sick) and the 49ers game (was in New Orleans and had given them to a friend).
As with last year, I hadn't set a real plan on how many games to see. My wife and I decided we wanted to see games at different places than we had previously. Though, we both enjoyed the three games we saw at Iowa that we were determined to return.
With a lackluster lineup, we opted to forego the Crosstown Showdown. This gave us an opportunity to see some games local to our new home: at Campbell and at Girard. For Saturday, we watched Beallsville and at night saw Bridgeport at venerable Perkins Field. This year, we opened the season with our honeymoon, which included a trip through Shenandoah National Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway. We saw a bear, some deer, and more birds than even Hitchcock would be comfortable with. Our first game was Tennessee v. Dobyns-Bennett at Bristol Municipal Stadium, which is known as the Stone Castle. It literally is built as a castle. It is an awesome venue and playing on Thursday thanks to the night race at Bristol Motor Speedway. As was all the other local games in the area.
One neat quirk, was the weekend of my wife's birthday, we spent the night in a train. A caboose, rather at The Caboose Motel in Titusville after seeing Greenville's game against the Titusville Rockets. The next day we drove up through the Allegheny National Forest to Sheffield to see a game at one of my favorite venues; Wolverine Mountain. And lastly was the rainy ECC-Kane game that Saturday night.
For the playoffs, we decided to stay close and see the Sharpsville-Greenville game on Friday, which meant only two games in Ralph WIlson Stadium on Thursday night. And an opportunity to see another interesting venue: War Memorial Stadium in Lisbon, Ohio for their playoff game against Brookfield.
Week 12 was our trip to Iowa for their 12 state semifinals at the UNI-Dome. Which greeted us with a tornado warning. They games were fun, exciting, and the 16,000-seat dome works great for high school football. Week 13 was local and Week 14 was a short trip up to Detroit. We had planned a trip to Indianapolis for their six title games, but weren't looking to travel much. I had already seen the Michigan Finals two years ago and wasn't planning on returning. We decided on seeing the four WPIAL Finals until the weather decided for us to go to Detroit. With the short notice, we decided against Indiana. But, may do that next year.
And then, we went small for Week 15. We decided against the Ohio title games because she had a doctor's appointment that Friday morning and with our New Orleans-Houston trip upcoming, didn't want to venture far. Having been to Wheeling Island before for games, I had yet to see their titles. So, we decided to see the three WVSSAC Championships and had a good time. Also, won some money at the Casino while there. The one odd thing was that they sold beer in the parking lot just outside the stadium for tailgaters. Beer was also allowed on the parking lot because it is the casino's lot. And lastly was our two week trip to see the Louisiana and Texas championships. We also spent a few days in New Orleans exploring the city and the gulf and delta areas.
Five years ago, I attended 55 games. I attended 73 in 2011. I attended 100 in 2012 and another 100 in 2013. Last year I attended 127 games. And this year another 97 for a total of 552 in six years or 497 in five years. So far, I've attended games in 32 different states with the addition of Louisiana.
Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and California.
During this year's travels, I've continued my push to visit every county in the United States. Of the 3,141 total, I've been to all but 266 of them, including 12 independent cities in Virginia. This year I've only completed two states: West Virginia and Georgia. Georgia, my 35th state, was during the drive down to New Orleans the remaining counties were mostly southwest of Atlanta and one up in the mountains I happened to not note on the map last year when returning Florida when I managed to finish West Virginia.

I've decided to add a little interest to this with some travel recommendations and food options along the way. Generally, I'm cheap when it comes to hotels. My wife, though, is a little more picky and that makes booking a room a little more than the overall cost. For example, I've stayed in a hotel room in Time Square for $40 many years ago.
Generally, big name hotels won't get a lot of love from me. They are what they are. Bed, TV, Shower, relatively clean or safe. Some have a bit of a look to them that makes them interesting.
Historic Streetcar Inn, New Orleans, LA
This was probably our favorite find while traveling. Located just a mile from the Superdome, it was cheap, and despite some negative reviews, we had a great experience. The hotel is located on St. Charles, which has a street car (hence the name) running down the middle of the street. It's surrounded by many food and entertainment options. And the street car can take you right to Canal, dropping you off right at Bourbon St. It has high ceilings, which is more a southern style to deal with heat. And through Priceline it was cheap, at less than $60 including tax for the first night. We liked it so much, we stayed an additional two days, and had the room for less than $50 for a return rate. The only downside is the lack of parking. You must find a spot on the street, which was usually about a block away.
Caboose Motel, Titusville, PA
This was a complete surprise. We were planning on attending the Titusville-Greenville game on Friday night and also wanted to see two games further east of there on Saturday. But, finding a decent hotel was a bit of a problem as there isn't much in that area of the country. To our surprise, we found the Caboose Motel, which is a series of 21 caboose rail cars situated right next to the Oil Creek & Titusville Railroad. Given that it was my wife's birthday that weekend, she loved the idea of sleeping in a train car that's been converted into hotel rooms. It wasn't that cheap, though at almost $90 and it's in an industrial area on all sides with the railroad and a primary truck route from the factory next door. It was a great time, though spending the day in Titusville and seeing Drake Well and then seeing the game at Carter Field, the high school home field of John Heisman. The only knock against the stadium is the large warehouse that looms over the home side of the field when sitting on the visitor side.
Harrah's Gulf Cost Hotel & Casino, Biloxi, MS
This was the afternoon before arriving in New Orleans. Good price, but they get you with an additional resort fee that adds to the overall cost. It is a great room, that's almost to the level of a suite for less than $60. Again here, we managed to win a little money. I think overall we came out $30 ahead of what we went in with. Their buffet, though, wasn't the best. Which was a disappointment as I love southern gulf/cajun/creole foods.
Sunset Motor Lodge, Stanford, KY
This was a good find. Wanting to see the Death Valley Bowl in Stanford on Friday and then the Rec Bowl in Mt. Sterling on Saturday, we were thinking of driving up toward Lexington to find a hotel as Stanford is a very small town. However, the lone motel turned out to be one of the best rooms of the season. Decently priced in the low 60s, it was a great room with a great memory foam bed. It also let us check in before the game, get something to eat, and then head to the game rather than just killing time somewhere before the games.
CareFree Inn, Houston, TX
Located only 1.2 miles from NRG Stadium was about the best thing. It was next door to a Whataburger and was relatively easy to get in and out of despite being on a very busy intersection. The price wasn't that bad, high $50s, but it is what you pay for. Bed was horrible, but the room was clean with a fridge and microwave.
Extended Stay America, Various Locations
If you travel a lot, this is one of my favorites. Usually can get pretty cheap through Priceline well below their listed price, and just a home away from home. Twice I've stayed at the one in Dearborn, Michigan and this year also in East Syracuse, New York. It's basically a small apartment. The stay in Syracuse was great, especially with my wife staying in the room one morning and then calling it a night early from the Carrier Dome on Saturday. Not too far a drive from the university, either.
Holiday Inn, Evansville, IN
This place disappointed me. Rated at 3 stars, the only great thing is the view of the atrium and pool area. However, the room, on the fifth floor, was absurdly warm and the old thermostat just couldn't get it down as cold as I'd like it. With the balcony and sliding doors, there was an everpresent chlorine smell from the pool. And, there was no fridge or microwave. The bathroom, too, was something you'd find in a $40 hotel. And, aside from the Caboose Motel, this was our most expensive stop of the year at almost $90. Just a let down.
There's a lot of different options around the country depending on your tastes. I tend to love Cajun/Creole, Indian, Seafood/Sushi/Calamari, and Barbeque. Mostly Texas BBQ over Carolina, Kansas City, or Memphis BBQ.
So, here's the places I remember from this year. In no particular order.
Lee's Chicken, Various Locations
If you go to Kentucky, you have to stop here if you love fried chicken. It's so much better than KFC and generally cheaper, as well. Their sweet tea is also some of the best you'll find. Though they tend to be very stingy with it, requiring someone else to refill your cup. Otherwise, no matter where you stop, this is a good regional chicken chain.
Culver's, Various Locations
Of all the Culver's I've ever stopped at, only once was I disappointed. My wife loved this place. The Pot Roast Sandwich was her favorite order. While I got the Pub Grinder Burger, their special at the time. As well as their Frozen Custard that alone is worth the stop. Based out of Wisconsin, there's a few in Columbus and suburban Detroit, but otherwise ubiquitous in Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
Whataburger, Various Locations
If you have the choice, there's no reason to stop at a McDonald's or Burger King if there's a Whataburger around. It can be a little pricy, but to me it's worth it. The Double With Cheese, with mustard and onions is my staple. It's only topped by In-n-Out for quality. Their Fiery Buffalo Chicken Tender Sandwich was good, too. Given that it was next to our hotel in Houston, we'd stop before and after the games to avoid spending much at the stadium.
Court of Two Sisters, French Quarter, New Orleans, LA
I knew nothing of this place when we stumbled upon it just after noon on Royal St. They serve a daily Jazz Brunch Buffet that's a bit pricy at $30/each. However, it is definitely worth the price. The Crawfish Louise may be my new favorite food. I've had nothing like it. And that wasn't all they had. The Jumbalaya, shrimp, and various other meat options were great. And sitting in the courtyard under the tree canopy with a live band was just extra. Total meal with tip was $80 but if you're in New Orleans, you have to stop. I know I'll be back.
HuHot Mongolian Grill, Cedar Falls, IA
This is a small chain that's growing, but appears to be located primarily near large cities or college campuses. It's all-you-can-eat. You get a bowl, get what you want, add your sauce, and they cook it on a 600º grill. Food was great, and mixing and matching stuff to get the right flavor is a fun endeavor.
Maharaja Grill, Dearborn, MI
This was a surprise. It's a hole-in-the-wall restaurant akin to Chinese takeout, but this was Indian and it was some of the best Chicken Curry and Chicken Tikka Masala we've ever had. The place is nondescript, but the food is amazing. With a 4.2 rating on Google Maps, it greatly exceeds initial expectations.
Old Tyme Grocery, Lafayette, LA
Driving west across US-90 from New Orleans to Lafayette, I was going to stop at a Po'Boy shop I knew southeast of Lafayette. But, we started looking for other options, and stumbled on a few located in Lafayette. Including this small place called Old Tyme Grocery garnering a staggering 4.7 rating. Located as part of a corner store, you order your food at the register and have your option of all the bottled or canned drinks in coolers. As well as snack cakes, et al. I ordered the Old Tyme Special and my wife had the Meatball, since while pregnant deli meats were out for her. Her's was a tad spicy for her liking. However, I think my Po'Boy was one of the best non-seafood Po'Boys I've ever had. If you're ever in Lafayette near the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, you need to stop.
Phil's Marina Cafe, Slidell, LA
Our first meal in the Pelican State was a good one. Overlooking the marina, the place serves a lot of seafood. We had calimari to start and then I had an Oyster Po'Boy, which was tremendous. It was huge, too, for the $13 price. My wife had the Shrimp Platter, with about 20 breaded shrimp. The only knock was that their key lime pie, though possibly homemade, was nearly frozen solid and overpriced. But, the seafood is the draw and well worth it.
Texas Hot Lunch, Kane, PA
This is a must-stop when you're up in the Allegheny Mountains. Combining a Sheffield and Elk County Catholic game in the same trip, Kane is a logical stopping point for a between game meal and Texas Hot Lunch delivers. This year, their chili fries were a bit of a let down, but their burgers were great. It has a 4.3 rating, and has been well-earned.
Sonny Boy's, Bridgeport, OH
Twice, we've eaten here this season. It's a great, cheap restaurant located next to Perkins Field in Bridgeport. Regardless what you order, the food is great, and the prices are amazingly cheap. Their sweet tea is great, as well.
As with last year, I'm not really sure what the plans are for next year. Most schedules aren't out, though a lot of the playoff games are getting set in association calendars. We'll be first time parents near the end of March, and that will most definitely alter any plans I would make. So, for now. We just plan on seeing local games and locations or stadiums we've yet to see before.
If the Texas games return to AT&T Stadium, we both want to make the trip. But, if they're in NRG Stadium as they were this year or at Alamodome (where I saw the 5A games in 2009), we'll probably opt not to go. We would like to see the games in Indianapolis next season and a trip to Syracuse wouldn't be bad if the temperature is decent in August. Pennsylvania title games will be a week earlier and have six games. Temperature would be the biggest consideration. Same with Ohio or West Virginia championships. For a change, we may venture out to California for the CIF Bowls in Sacramento and have an opportunity to see my sister in Los Angeles.
One of my bucket list games is attending one at Monument Valley early in the season so the sun is up longer. That would cut into a bit, and I'd want my child to be old enough to experience the trip. Which is another consideration in all of this.
Wherever we wind up this year or how things go, I'm sure we'll be somewhere having fun together. Be it at a game or not.
Sometime this spring I hope to get my photos uploaded for this season's games. You can check out photos from previous seasons here:
Hope you've enjoyed reading and have a Happy New Year.

What do you do that allows you to do all of that traveling to see games? Are you a college recruiter or a sports agent? Acquiring minds would like to know

I work for myself. So, can work when I want to. My wife's employment has no hours, so she can go almost always whenever she wants. Very few things she does are at a set time during the week or year.

Yeah. I have 7 oddly displaced counties in the Northeast. Including the two island counties of Massachusetts for Marthas Vineyard and Nantucket. Southeast Maryland, Eastern Virginia, and Eastern North Carolina are something that could be done in one big vacation. The tough spot is the northern tier across the country. Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and parts of Montana easily can be tagged onto when we do take the Alaska trip.
Hawaii is probably the toughest, as there's six counties, five of which are separate islands which require travel. But, the smallest is a former leper colony that requires a permit and a donkey ride down the side of a mountain to get there.

Best team I've ever seen? 2014 Allen Eagles. Just dominant. Had such high expectations, and never wavered. One of the best HS QBs I've seen in Kyler Murray.
2014 Cedar Hill was great. Underrated as so many probably thought Katy was going to whip them. The third straight game against them in the finals in 2014 (split the first two games). And Katy had a hell of a team, too. Showed it again this year by thumping Austin Lake Travis.
For slightly smaller schools:
2010 Youngstown Ursuline. They really could've named the score in the title. Akise Teague was a man among boys that year. And Coldwater is no slouch and got thumped.
2006 Steubenville. After squeaking by a lot in 2005, they just dominated up until halftime of their state title game against Archbishop Alter. I personally think it was a case of 'we have this one in the bag, we can let up' but Alter was such a great team, it was a huge mistake. Though one that turned into a hell of a finish, winning 35-34 against a team that had only given up 83 points in the first 14 games. And only 7 in their four playoff games leading up to the game. A shame they seemed to sit on the lead.
Small schools:
2010 Delphos St. John's 77-6. Shadyside was a good team. They absolutely got annihilated that game by one of the best small school's I've seen.
Clairton (PA) - Several times. Hard to tell which one was the best. Seen them in WPIAL and PIAA titles. Just a dominant force of a team that laid waste to teams their size for several years. Always wanted to see them play Aliquippa while during their title run. Would've been a matchup similar in scope to Coldwater-Marion Local the past few years. Though, the Quips play up to a higher level, which gives them a tougher run at things.
Kaycee (WY) beat Meeteetse in 2010, 70-12. Just dominated. Only their third year in existence (as Wyoming just started playing 6-man in 2009). Meeteetse had played 6-man in the Montana association (which also included Idaho 6-man teams).
Interesting factoid about Kaycee's game. Online, it states the final was 62-6. My recap of that week included this:
After scoring to make it 62-6 after three, the announcer said, "Well, that's the game, folks." Before realizing there was one more quarter to go. Meeteetse had one good drive late in the game and scored. The final: Kaycee 70, Meeteetse 12.
Seems some statistician took it to heart, and reported 62-6 as the final, not counting the two fourth-quarter touchdowns to reach the final, 70-12. Even Maxprep got it half right, reporting the game as both 62-6 and in the story 62-12.
Seems the report of that week has been scrolled into the archive on Yappi, though.

Week 8 - East Cleveland Shaw (OH) v. Bedford (OH)
Beautiful old Shaw Stadium still serving a purpose.
Week 13 - Sharpsville (PA) v. West Middlesex (PA)
District 10 Class A Championship Game at the goal line.
Week 13 - Sharon (PA) v. Greenville (PA)
Sharon takes the Field.
Week 15 - Wheeling Park (WV) v. Capital (WV)
Passing Barge of Standing Room Crowd for Title Game.
Week 16 - Kentwood (LA) v. Haynesville (LA)
Mercedes-Benz Superdome Theater 3000
Week 16 - Grand Isle, Louisiana
I have more favorites posted from previous years as well.
And an update on my travels. Every blue and red county I've been to:
Hope everyone has had a great New Year.

Thanks for you observations and opinions. I thought the 2013 Allen team was better than the 2014 because I thought they had a better defense in 2013. 2014 however was virtually unstoppable. I think 2015 Katy was underrated nationally by some of the polls. They weren't flashy but their defense had so many shut outs and they completely stopped some really good offenses like Lake Travis in the finals.

The Buffalo public schools only recently joined Section 6. Formerly, they only played among themselves for the Harvard Cup. They're proving to be quite good with the rest of the section.

The Steelers let several veteran players go before the 2012 season and there figure to be more departures this offseason as the team continues to say goodbye to key members of teams that went to two of the last five Super Bowls.
Many have noted that a lot of the leadership from those teams has been lost as the Steelers transition away from those players, something that wide receiver Antonio Brown hopes to address by taking on more responsibility for guiding the team back to the winning record that eluded them in 2012. Brown told the team's website that he wants to serve as a bridge from the teams of the past to the Steelers of the future.
"We have a lot of young guys," Brown said. "A lot of guys haven't been around here for the history of this team. I want to make sure guys understand the importance of being here, the tradition and what is required from our peers, coaches and everybody inside this building. You have to know the history of something if you are a part of it. You have to know where it started, where it came from and what it's about. You know where you are with it now and where you want to go. I can help teach guys about that and take that type of approach. Every man here has to understand the importance of what the Steelers logo stands for, the men that came before us and wore the jersey and we have to understand the importance of it, be humbled by it and work with that mentality."
If Mike Wallace leaves as a free agent, Brown will have more on-field responsibilities as well in 2013. It's the natural progression for a player the Steelers gave a long-term extension last year to serve as the foundation of their receiving corps, albeit one that further underlines the way things are changing in Pittsburgh.

The second annual Benevolent Media Festival will return to Washington, D.C. on June 21-25.
The citywide series of events is a celebration of storytellers, designers, filmmakers, photographers and other creatives dedicated to social and environmental good. The festival focuses on people, organizations and projects that compel audiences to care about a cause, take action on an issue, or promote a point of view through strategic and inspiring multimedia.
This year's festival is organized along five main themes: Learn, Revive, Sustain, Heal, and Empower. Signature events include the following:
- Epic Opening Party, a party at Epic Yoga studios, featuring eco-conscious food and drink, with an art and music showcase produced by cause-oriented creatives.
- Cycle-In Cinema, a group bicycle ride to community gardens, with everyone convening at a film screening and discussion of a new feature-length documentary, "A Community of Gardeners," that promotes urban sustainability and green spaces.
- Networking Lounges, providing a welcoming space for in-person conversations about projects, pitches and opportunities related to storytelling and design for good.
- Structure Closing Party, a fundraiser for Architecture for Humanity, set against a backdrop of stunning images, curated by New York-based photo company Nuru Project, which sells prints created by photojournalists dedicated to using their craft for social change.
In addition, festival organizers invited individuals and organizations to submit their own community events to the agenda. These include an eco-chic pop-up shop, panel discussions on transmedia, a storytelling workshop on immigration, a comedy show about anti-bullying, and a poetry reading to promote healing.
The inaugural festival was held last November during Digital Capital Week, when more than 400 people engaged in 18 different events held across the city.
