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

Mrs. Wilson has been the bridge between the school and these families, often providing them with support and ensuring they know that their service and time given to the country will not be forgotten.

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

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

The world is going through trying times of Government shutdown, Environment problems, Local Economy, and Global wars.

Penn State Head football coach James Franklin has been fired after a loss to Northwestern after being 21.5 point favorites. After the Nittany Lions started the 2025 season off ranked #2 behind only Texas, they started off the regular season going 3-0. Franklin has been on the hot seat since 2016 after a loss to ranked Michigan. Penn State has pretty much been called the “doorstep” to the top 10 because they can get it done against teams outside the top 10. Franklin has a reco

This playlist is for situations when you want to feel an autumn mood, anytime of the year.

But this past season they finally showed something finishing just short of a playoff spot finishing the season with 89 points. Their main breakouts being Krill Marchenko, Adam

It’s safe to say that TV franchises that started off amazing- or at the very least decent- have declined tremendously in popularity and some have even ended with practically none of their original traction. But why have they? Why do TV franchises decline so greatly in popularity? Well let’s start with an example- a strong one at that- of a franchise that did more than a lot wrong. Marvel’s Cinematic Universe was once very popular and always gained an insanely huge audience at
