Sophomore quarterback Jayden Johannsen had a good performance, throwing for 343 yards and completing 17 out of 29 passes.

It’s time to get ready for Halloween soon October has arrived, and with that comes the pleasure of eating all our little sibling’s Halloween candy! I have been blessed with three younger siblings, so I’m set.

We are all well over the age where trick or treating is a thing of the past— leave it to the little kids to enjoy their Halloween. One thing you can do, though, is either hang out near

I’m probably going to be doing option two, but only because I got scared by a high schooler as a kid, and now it’s my turn to do the same. This year Halloween is on a Monday, so you can expect all the kids to go home early, making it easy on all of us. Halloween is not the only holiday that’s just around the corner now that fall has officially arrived. Thanksgiving is going to fill our stomachs any day now, you just wait. And with Thanksgiving comes the onrush of winter holidays, everyone’s favorite. Enjoy these fall holidays. They are a time for you to spend time with your family and enjoy their company. Senior Owen Alvine will scare any high school kids who come to his door.

Pence, Kaine prepare for No. 2 debate By Noah Bierman Tribune Washington Bureau (TNS) WASHINGTON — One man entered the national stage this summer as the reassuringly dull half of the GOP ticket. The other, the Democratic No. 2, is a career politician who proudly called himself boring. Yet as Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine prepare to face off Tuesday in their only vice presidential debate, they are vying for an office that has gained increasing clout in recent administrations. In Pence’s case, the role could expand even more than it already has over the last 40 years, given Donald Trump’s lack of government experience. Kaine could find himself in a more complicated position, competing for influence in Hillary Clinton’s White House against her husband, former President Bill Clinton. But neither man, if elected, will be relegated strictly to attending to funerals, maintaining preparedness should the president fall ill or absorbing mockery on late-night TV shows. The office, once housed outside the White House in the Executive Office Building or the Senate and seen purely as a stand-in job, has now cemented itself as an integral part of running the country, with more access and influence than almost anyone in the president’s orbit gets. The job’s heightened stature derives from a number of factors, including the increasing complexity of the president’s job, a political shift in how running mates are selected, and the trust presidents have placed in their understudies. “It would be difficult to throw the vice president out of the West Wing or to refuse to break bread with them once a week,” said Joel K. Goldstein, a St. Louis University law professor and author of “The White House Vice Presidency.”
