WARSAW — Westview faced a few challenges Saturday, Sept. 5 at the Warsaw Tiger Soccer Complex.
Not only was the heat index at or above 90 degrees for the afternoon match, but the Class 1A No. 1 Warriors were facing a strong Class 3A Tigers team who was coming off a 2-1 loss at 3A No. 2 Homestead. Westview battled for the entire match but ultimately fell, 3-2, dropping its record to 6-2 on the season.
"We knew Warsaw was going to play possession with us in the middle," Westview head coach Drew Ryall said. "(Senior) Olivia (Bontrager), (junior) Makenna (Bender) and (junior) Josie (Ryall) tend to dominate the middle, but we knew Warsaw was going to have their way a little bit more today than other teams we've played.
"We were really pleased with our defensive shape and communication and making it really hard on (the Tigers)."
The Warriors scored first when sophomore goalkeeper Breanna Garrett — making her first career varsity start — sent a long punt that freshman Kierra Roose ended up putting in the net in the 5th minute.

As Hurricane Lala drenched parts of the Hawaiian Islands, the calm remained at sunny Father Bray Athletic Complex.
By 1:30 p.m., Edison kicked off to host 'Iolani, and the Chargers from Huntington Beach, Calif., put a jolt into the Raiders with a 41-27 win at Eddie Hamada Field. Sam Thomson threw three touchdown passes, while running backs Brett Dempsen and Gavyn Degiacomo combined for 183 yards and three TDs on 21 carries.
It was a 27-0 lead before the home team began to find its footing. Edison played a mix of reserves and starters from beginning to end. 'Iolani coach Patrick Samsonas found solace in his team's in-game resilience.
"I feel wet. It's a wet game," he said of the gusty, rainy conditions by game's end. We battled in the second and that was the test. They answered some of the calls. That's a really good team in the CIF (California Interscholastic Federation). I'm proud of our guys for battling. We've got a bye week before we get another mainland team."
'Iolani (1-1) hosts Westview (San Diego) on Aug. 29.

Tennessee football hopes to land in-state standout Asa Barnes as a 2027 backfield sidekick to David Gabriel Georges.
Barnes is a three-star running back from Martin Westview. He is ranked the No. 36 running back and No. 551 player overall in the 2027 class. But he's coveted by the Vols to a degree beyond his recruit rating.
Barnes will announce his commitment at 5 p.m. ET on July 29.
If he picks Tennessee, Barnes will join Gabriel Georges, a five-star running back already committed to the Vols. And UT would become only the fifth team to land multiple top-40 running backs in the 2027 class.
Here's what you need to know about Barnes and his upcoming decision.

Florida State has bolstered its 2027 recruiting class significantly after landing eight commitments in June. One of them was four-star running back Jayden Miles, but the Seminoles are after another talented player at the position.
Three-star Asa Barnes received his first offer from FSU, and despite former running backs coach David "Yak" Johnson no longer being with the program, that hasn't stopped the Seminoles from pursuing Barnes heavily. They have found themselves as one of his four finalists, as his commitment date has been set for 5 p.m. ET on July 29. Barnes will choose between the Arkansas Razorbacks, Tennessee Volunteers, USC Trojans, and Florida State.
As things currently sit, Arkansas and Tennessee are leading. However, FSU shouldn't be taken lightly, as their persistence has kept them as a major contender.
"They kept recruiting me hard and kept showing interest," Barnes told Rivals. "I can see myself thriving there too. Coach Norvell is going to get the program back winning, and I like my relationship with Coach Martin."
Barnes was a beast during his junior year at Westview High School in Martin, Tennessee. He registered 1,775 all-purpose yards and scored 31 touchdowns. He helped the Chargers go 14-0 and win the state ***** le.

Dec. 3—Fish. The ocean. Stinky.
The room full of third-graders was quick to answer when Tiniya Dixon, a public programs coordinator at Mobius Discovery Center, queried them on what the aroma making its way around the building smelled like. A couple sat with their shirts over their noses to block the stench, initially disgusted, then curious as Dixon began to distribute to each student trays holding the source of the smell: about a dozen small squids.
