SOUTH POINT — They say all things, whether good or bad, must soon come to an end. Unfortunately for the South Point High School football team, it’s dream season met that end last Friday night —against the tradition-rich and storied program that is the Wheelersburg Pirates. Notice that read one team playing against one program. The Pointers’ magical season officially ended against visiting Wheelersburg in the Division V Region 19 quarterfinals, as the fifth-seeded Pirates pitched a shutout and scored the final 44 points over the final almost 32 minutes — winning 44-0 at South Point’s Alumni Field. For the fourth-seeded Pointers, with first-year head coach Brian Wroten, they went 9-2 — and captured their first Ohio Valley Conference championship in two full decades (2006).

Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (CMS) football overcame an early 10-point deficit to defeat the Azusa Pacific University (APU) Cougars 31-10 on Nov. 7 at the newly-built Patrick G. Rogan Stadium. With the win, the Stags sent their 21 seniors off with one final home victory before heading into the SCIAC championship game. Alongside senior night celebrations, the Stags held a dedication ceremony for CMS’ new stadium, marking the end of the team’s first season in the facility. Rogan Stadium is one of several new facilities housed within CMS’ Sports Bowl, which opened this semester on Claremont McKenna College’s Roberts Campus. After the ceremony, APU came out strong, scoring on its opening possession with a 24-yard touchdown pass from their quarterback. Adding on a 41-yard field goal, the Cougars jumped to an early 10-0 midway through the first quarter. Down early, the Stags seemingly struggled to find their rhythm but quickly turned things around in the second quarter.

The immigrant mother’s Sunday phone call: For many adult children of immigrants, the weekly check-in is a ritual as predictable as the sunrise. It is a conversation dominated by a specific script: Have you eaten? Are you taking your vitamins? Why do you sound tired? At 38 years old, these questions can feel like an intrusion of privacy or a lack of trust in one’s autonomy. However, behind these seemingly mundane inquiries lies a complex emotional landscape shaped by migration, sacrifice, and a unique way of expressing devotion. The shift from resentment to realization often comes through a moment of crisis. For many, it takes a parent’s health scare to finally translate the “suffocating” questions into their true meaning: a profound fear of loss and a deep, unspoken love. The Language of Care and Survival In many immigrant households, the words “I love you” are rarely spoken aloud. Instead, affection is translated into acts of service and constant monitoring of physical well-being.

As Dalton Public Schools prepares to overhaul their middle school model for the 2027-28 school year, Superintendent Steven Craft provided updates and more information on the transition during a community meeting at Blue Ridge School on Tuesday.

While talking to a full cafeteria of district parents and students, Craft said the school system’s current middle school model – which features Hammond Creek Middle School offering sixth- and seventh-grade classes and Dalton Junior High School offering eighth-grade courses – will be transitioned into two true sixth- through eighth-grade middle schools for the district beginning in August.

The loneliest sound in a retired person’s house: It is a sound that millions of people recognize but rarely talk about. For many, the transition into retirement brings a sudden, heavy stillness that changes how they perceive their own homes. When the busy noise of a career and a growing family fades away, the silence doesn’t stay empty for long. Instead, it gets filled by the mechanical rhythms of a house that keeps huming along, even when the inhabitant feels like they have stopped. At exactly 2:00 PM on a Tuesday, the refrigerator cycles on, and for a retired person, that hum becomes a reminder that the world is still turning. It is a moment of deep reflection that many seniors face as they navigate their new lives. The Psychology of the 2 PM Hum For decades, most people spend their afternoons surrounded by the sounds of productivity. There are ringing phones, keyboards clicking, traffic outside an office window, or the chatter of coworkers.

By Joana Karoshi | Staff Writer Baylor Student Government debated allocating up to $20,000 to the university’s Makerspace during its Thursday meeting, as library budget cuts and increased student use have strained the facility’s supply budget. The amendment passed 33-6. The proposed legislation allocated $18,000 for Makerspace supplies and $2,000 for workshops organized by Makers at BU, a student organization. Senators also discussed reducing the allocation by removing funding for some materials, including crafting and painting supplies. Manvel senior Elijah Lockhart paints an ROTC flag in the Moody Makerspace. Mim Robbins | Photographer “Maker spaces are shared spaces that are used for both academic and personal enrichment,” Dr. Brett Harper, who oversees the Makerspace and Studios in Moody Memorial Library, told senators. Harper said the facility hosted approximately 125 in-person classes during the previous academic year and served students from different academic departments.

: Beneath the gleaming skyscrapers and vast deserts of the Middle East, a silent emergency is unfolding. While the world watches oil prices and urban expansion, the most precious resource of all is quietly vanishing from the region. The Oasis Kingdoms of the Gulf and the surrounding Levant are facing an unprecedented challenge. Centuries of traditional water management are no longer enough to support modern populations and booming industrial centers. Geopolitical stability and economic growth now hinge on a single question: how much longer can these nations thrive in one of the driest places on Earth? The answer lies in a complex mix of ancient aquifers, high-tech desalination, and changing climates. The Vanishing Underground Reservoirs For thousands of years, the Middle East relied on deep underground lakes known as aquifers. These water sources were filled during the last ice age and were once considered an inexhaustible supply for desert life.

By Carson Vercoe | Sports Writer Last weekend I laid down in my bed, opened my computer and got ready to watch a movie. I opened up Netflix and started looking, but after 10 minutes I hadn’t found what I was looking for. Then I tried another streaming platform and another one after that; by the time I was done, I didn’t even want to watch the movie. Watching TV used to be simple. You would scroll through the channels and find something interesting to watch. If you wanted to watch a specific movie, you could rent it without having to search through multiple platforms to find it. But that’s gone now. Streaming services such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus and countless others were designed to make watching the things you wanted to watch simple. You can watch whatever you want, whenever you want.

Physicists found a new way to measure the universe: For decades, scientists have been locked in a friendly but frustrating debate about the exact scale of our cosmos. They knew the universe was expanding, but they couldn’t quite agree on exactly how fast that expansion was happening. Recent breakthroughs have changed the game completely. By looking at the stars through a different lens—quite literally—researchers have discovered a clever method to calculate cosmic distances that might finally settle the score between competing theories. This new approach doesn’t just give us a number; it provides a roadmap for understanding where we came from and where the entire fabric of space-time is heading. It is a massive leap forward for modern astronomy and theoretical physics.

By Giselle Lee | Staff Writer Late nights, early mornings and the euphoric rush of last-minute research are things every Baylor Model United Nations student experiences. This year, their hard work paid off: at the National Model United Nations conference in Washington, D.C., they returned with the prestigious “Outstanding Delegation” award. Baylor Model United Nations (MUN) attends two to three conferences a year, rotating the member state that the team researches every semester. With support from the university, the program has become accessible to all students, regardless of financial means, giving collegiate students the opportunity to simulate UN committee experiences. Dr. Rebecca Flavin, professor of political science and advisor to Baylor’s MUN, said the students’ debated topics are contemporary global issues the United Nations are currently discussing, which she said has been “a fantastic way” for students to learn.
