We interviewed Coach Roberson, a coach of the Licking Heights Football team. It was November 13, 2025, a Thursday. We walked down to the gym and Coach Roberson was teaching a tournament of badminton.

First, we asked what time of the year was and he responded with summer, as he likes the hotter months and a break from teaching. Then, we asked what got him into coaching .

Which is better: Chick-Fil-A or Popeyes? This right here is definitely a debate worth talking about because both of their spicy chicken sandwiches are elite. Chick-Fil-A's sandwich doesn't come with sauce, but it is extra seasoned with nice buttered toasted bread that makes the sandwich good. Also, it's incredibly crispy. However, the Popeyes sandwich has a gifting sauce, bigger chicken, and if crispy and cooked the right way, it tastes amazing. In my opinion, Popeyes has bet

Hours before the game everyone was tense with multiple things on their mind: wh

Game preview for Liverpool vs Real Madrid. Liverpool vs Real Madrid has been the talk of this week's Champions League fixture. The Reds last few games have been underwhelming, losing 6 out of their 8 games last played. However their last game hopefully gave them enough confidence going into this game against Real Madrid. Now, Real Madrid is no pushover, having won their last 6 games in dominant fashion and the team's chemistry and game play have been breathtaking to watch. Bo

“Rage Rap”, is a genre of rap music that people like to joke is an old head’s worst nightmare. Known for its unique beats and mumbled lyrics, Rage Rap has become one of the most popular subgenres of rap. But what started this all? Well it started off with the album “Whole Lotta Red” made by Playboi Carti (real name, Jordan Terrell Carter), at the time nobody really liked the album. Carter had never made an album before with that type of Rap style, sure he had made plenty of s

I am a Browns fan, so sadly this isn't a game that I would like to report, but this is a game where we scored and put up at least a good fight. The New England Patriots defeated the Cleveland Browns 32-13 in Week 8 on October 26, 2025. The Patriots pulled away in the second half, fueled by a strong performance from quarterback Drake Maye, who had three touchdown passes and added 50 rushing yards. Despite a record-setting day for Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, who had fiv

Spoiler free review  This past week I read the book Sunrise on the Reaping. This is a prequel in the Hunger Games series. The book follows the character Haymitch Abernathy, as he tries to survive the 2nd Quarter Quell. For the 50th anniversary of the Hunger Games they made the districts send double the tributes, so instead of the normal 24 it was 48 kids sent for the Hunger Games. The book is very emotional as it follows Haymitch’s story. So before I get into spoilers I will

Spooky season is here and it also happens to be around the weekend. Many people are either going to be trick or treating, trunk or treating, going to parties or staying home.

Sumala-Indonesian Horror/Slasher Film (2024) Based on an urban legend originati

Therefore here are some stories to give hope “in-decline”.   The Government shutdown and many people that work for the government or need government resources are fearful of losing their jobs, medicare, and federal housing.
