Last Monday, the choirs had a special guest named Jon Peterson. He works for the Nebraska Wesleyan University.He came to listen to the choirs and give them tips on how to perform better. He helped them improve the sound quality of the choirs .He had so much energy he had the choirs laughing so hard, some of them had tears in their eyes. He helped them get more energy into their songs. The choirs learned to project and emphasize the right words the most when they sing. The choirs were very grateful that Jon Peterson came to help them.

Cougars down Scribner-Snyder, finish regular season 7-1

October 23, 2013 Leave a comment

The Cougars finished off their regular season with a 50-36 win over (4-3) Scribner Snyder.  The win which did not come easy brought the Cougars record to 7-1 as they enjoy a bye week before the playoffs start.

 

Northeast scored first as they got a 55 yard touchdown from a Brehmer to Fuston pass play.  The Trojans countered with a scoring drive to tie the score.  Lyons-Decatur took the lead back as Brehmer hooked up with Dakota Riecken from 9 yards out.

 

Scribner-Snyder put up two scores in the second period.  After scores by Schulenberg and Weitzenkamp they held a 22-14 lead.  The Cougars took advantage of a Brehmer interception to tie the score at 22.  Two plays after the senior picked off a pass at midfield and returned it 23 yards, he scooted through the Trojan defense from 9 yards out.

 

Maresh gave praise to sophomore Marcus Hegy who had a pair of receptions.  “His play had a big impact on the outcome.   He took a couple of short passes and turned them into big plays.  He broke tackles and got us into scoring position.”   Hegy had 35 and 20 yard receptions to set up scores by Brehmer and  Henneman.

 

A 19 yard pass to Dakota Riecken put the game out of reach for the host Trojans as Northeast moved to a 44-22 lead at the start of the fourth quarter.

 

Brehmer added the final touchdown the night for LDNE.  S-S got their final score against the reserves.

.

Alex Brehmer had a big night as he led the Cougars to a win.  He rushed for  143 yards and 3 touchdowns on 28 carries.  His passing was a key for the victory as he connected on 8 of 11 passes.  He had three passes go for touch downs.

 

Dakota Riecken had a career-best five receptions.  He scored twice and added a point after.  Together with Hegy’s 2 catches and Fuston’s one the Cougars had 168 yards through passing.

 

Chevy Henneman added 70 yards to the rushing total of 220 yards.  The junior joined the Thousand Yard Club as he has 1058 rushing yards for the season.

 

Dakota Riecken led the defense with 21 tackles.  Taylor Fuston and David Bishop each had 10 tackles.  Brehmer had 7,  Shane McCulloch 6,  Chevy Henneman 5,  Tyler Hardeman 2,  Dylan Hardeman 1, Marcus Hegy 1.  Tackles for lost were recorded by Riecken, Brehmer, T Hardeman, McCulloch, and Henneman.

October 23, 2013 Leave a comment


The Northeast girls competed in five matches last week.  They had a conference meet against North Bend Central.  The Tigers won three games to one.  The Cougars finished off the week with the EHC Tournament.  On Thursday, they took on Howells-Dodge and Bancroft Rosalie.  On Saturday, Pender hosted as the girls played against Twin River and Oakland-Craig.  After a 1-3 finish in the tournament the Lady Cougars finished twelfth  out of the sixteen teams.

 

The Tigers and Cougars had competitive games as NBC won the games one and two 25-22, 25-15 while LDNE took the third 25-22.  In the fourth set the Benders claimed the win with a 25-20 score.

 

Abby Peterson was Coach Cronin’s player of the game.  “Abby stepped in and did a great job.  She had minimal errors and play great defense.”  Peterson had 3 kills, an Ace serve, and 10 digs.

In their second match the Cougars took on EHC new comer Bancroft-Rosalie.  The (16-12)  Panthers won the first game, but the Cougars took the match with wins in the next two.

 

Coach Cronin commented on the nice game of Brianne Haskell as she had 17 kills and 20 digs to go with 2 ace serves and 2 blocks.  The coach also noted that B-R is the Cougars’ sub-district. The win should serve as a confidence builder.

On Saturday, the team lost to both Twin River and Oakland-Craig.  Coach Cronin lamented that the team’s passing did them in against both the  Titans and Knights.  We could not get into our offense and get the ball to our attackers.

Child abuse statistics

October 22, 2013 Leave a comment


Submitted by Julie Eager

Child abuse includes physical, sexual and emotional abuse, as well as neglect.

There are many myths about child abuse.  Check out these facts reported by the Bureau of Justice:

  1. More than 4 children die every day due to child abuse in the United States.  About 80% of those that die are under the age of 4.

National data is likely to underestimate the number of children who die from child abuse.

This is the worst record in industrialized nations.

  1. 3,000,000 reports of child abuse are made involving 6,000,000 children each year in the United States.
  2. About 1/3 of children who are abused grow up to abuse children.  Abused children have higher rates of mental illness, substance abuse and of criminal activities which land them in prison.  They have a higher rate of early pregnancies.
  3. Child abuse occurs equally in all socio-economic classes of people.  This is not a crime of poverty or of lack of education or ability.
  4. Child molesters typically molest 117 children in their lifetime, most of whom do not report the offence.  Molesters are sometimes violent and threatening to children but often they “groom” children and take advantage of their lack of knowledge and trust for adults.
  5.   Girls are three times more often sexually abused than boys.  Half of females who are raped are under the age of 18.
  6. Most perpetrators are known by their victims.  Only 5% of perpetrators are strangers to the children.
  7. It is estimated that there are 60 million survivors of child sexual assault today.
  8. 97 % of sexual offenders who were convicted and imprisoned for their crime were male.  70% were white.

It is very important to remember that nobody deserves abuse.  Do not blame the victim for what abusers do.  Abusers are threatening and dangerous.  Do not attempt to intervene on your own.   Call the Health and Human Services or the law enforcement agency in the area in which the abuse occurred.
