CLEVELAND, Ohio — A starter in the St. Edward defensive backfield since his sophomore season, Bradley Eaton has played a significant role in two of the three Eagles state championship runs. A former state wrestling champion, Eaton has been a sure tackler for the Eagles' defense with more than 100 in both his sophomore and junior year respectively. But this season, in his senior year, Eaton has added more to his plate. On top of his duties at safety, Eaton, with no prior experience, has been starting at running back for the Eagles since the last few weeks of the regular season. “I think the coolest thing about St. Ed’s is we got so many guys who can make plays everywhere,” Eaton said. “Sometimes your number gets called, you’re not expecting it, and you got to step into a role, but we got the guys to do it. I think that’s what’s special about special about St. Ed’s.” Eaton stepped into the role of running back out of necessity. Brandon White opened the season as the Eagles' starter after earning the job last year, but he’s been out with an injury since Week 3. Tyrese Buchanan picked up a lot of the slack in the weeks that followed before Eaton and Zack Hackleman found themselves taking the lion’s share of the carries. Well, Hackleman went down with an injury too, and Eaton, as well as starting linebacker turned power back Nate Gregory, have stepped up in a major way in response. “That’s senior leadership,” Eagles head coach Tom Lombardo said. “It’s their time. And you know, three year starters like that, Eaton, Gregory, and the others, Thomas Csanyi, they’re not going to go down.” They certainly didn’t go down in Friday’s Division I, Region 1 final. The Eagles kept their four-peat hopes alive with a 13-7 win against Mentor in that one, and Eaton had himself a day. He finished the night with 19 carries for 181 yards and TDs of 80 and 68 yards apiece, while playing nearly every offensive and defensive snap of the game. “The line did great blocking in front of me, and once you get to the second level, it’s kind of gets into my hand,” Eaton said. “Gotta make a couple guys miss, and then just turn on the jets and bring it home for the team.” Eaton went into the regional final with 80 carries for 427 yards and seven TDs, including a 157-yard three total TD day against St. Ignatius. He’s also got 124 yards and six receiving TDs on 13 receptions this season and that’s just offense. Prior to the regional final Eaton had 74 total tackles (43 solo), nine pass breakups, two picks, a blocked punt, which was recovered for a TD , and the Eagles' lone kick return TD of the season. After losing three All-Ohioan on their offensive line it says a lot about the Eagles that they have made it back to this point of the year. St. Edward went 5-5 in the regular season, but 4-0 this postseason is the only thing they care about. “Coming into the playoffs, I felt like our team had a lot left to prove. I mean, we were 5-5, but we played one of the toughest schedules in the country, in my opinion, and I just felt like we have a lot left to prove,” Eaton said. “I still think we got a lot left to prove, but it’s starting to show on the field.” With just one game separating the Eagles from a shot at the four-peat they have shown they’ll do what ever it takes.

Yeah, the record’s not as good, but the competition we played prepares us for these type of games,” St. Edward head coach Tom Lombardo said. “We’re 4-0 and there’s 28 teams left in the state and that’s all that matters.”The major indices move lower on the day ahead of the Thanksgiving day holiday tomorrow.

MONTREAL — Montreal Canadiens defenceman Mike Matheson was not available for Tuesday's game against the Utah Hockey Club due to a lower-body injury. The Canadiens announced his injury half an hour before puck drop. Jayden Struble took his place in the lineup as Montreal (7-11-2) faced Utah (8-10-3) for the first time. Matheson participated in the morning skate but missed practice on Monday. The 30-year-old from nearby Pointe-Claire, Que., leads all Montreal blueliners with 13 points (one goal, 12 assists) in 20 games as the lone defenceman on the team's top power-play unit. Struble has one goal and three assists in 15 games this season. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 26, 2024. The Canadian Press
One of Sindh's largest universities, the University of Karachi, is struggling financially owing to a deficit of Rs2.101 billion caused by thousands of students across its various programmes who have failed to pay their tuition fees and dues. Hence, the varsity has now decided to penalise the defaulting students by preventing them from sitting exams unless they pay up. The University of Karachi (KU) has disclosed that some 16,506 students, across its morning, evening, and executive masters of business administration programmes, have not paid their long outstanding dues of more than Rs2,101.5 million from 2020 to 2024. This figure for defaulter students does not include research scholars enrolled in the MPhil/PhD and other postgraduate programmes. The data was shared during a meeting chaired by KU Vice Chancellor Professor Dr Khalid Mahmood Iraqi on Wednesday at the KU VC Secretariat to review the quantum of defaulting students primarily enrolled in the varsity's evening programme. The meeting was attended by Evening Programmes Director Professor Dr Imran Ahmad Siddiqui, deans of the faculties of Arts and Social Science Professor Dr Shaista Tabassum, Science Professor Dr Musarrat Jahan Yousuf, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Professor Dr Muhammad Haris Shoib, Islamic Studies Professor Dr Zahid Ali Zahidi, Students' Advisor Dr Nosheen Raza, and Finance Director Syed Jehanzeb. Meeting participants expressed concerns over the sum of unpaid dues and the large pool of defaulting students. Recommending measures to recover the unpaid dues from defaulters, participants suggested that defaulting students should not be allowed to appear for exams and that their admit cards must not be issued. A proposal to cancel the enrollment/degrees of defaulter graduate students was also discussed during the meeting. Ultimately, it was decided that since the defaulting students had overlooked all opportunities provided by KU to clear their dues, defaulting students from the evening programme who have cleared their dues will be provided with their admit cards and will be allowed to sit the exams. But those who had not, shall not be issued their admit cards or sit their exams. Should any such student manage to sit the exams, their results would be withheld. Thousands Protest in Karachi Against Federal Projects Threatening Sindh’s Resources, Autonomy Defaulting students The meeting participants reviewed student payment data from 2020 to 2024. They learnt that the varsity had issued some 36,767 fee vouchers worth Rs3.094 billion. Of this, some 20,261 students paid fees worth Rs992.71 million. However, some 16,506 students owed the varsity some 2.1 billion. The participants were informed that fee vouchers worth more than Rs1,558.87 million had been issued to 22,575 students in the morning programme. However, only 13,205 students had paid their dues worth over Rs567.32 million, while the remaining 9,370 students had failed to pay their fees worth more than Rs991.54 million, which is yet to be deposited by the students as tuition fees. They were told that only 36.39% of the total tuition fee due was received from students. Similarly, they were briefed that some 13,425 fee vouchers worth over Rs1,435.04 million were generated for students enrolled in the evening programme. Of these, some 6,543 students had cleared their dues worth Rs385.19 million. However, 6,882 students had not paid their dues worth over Rs1,049.84 million. The varsity's collection was a dismal 26.84% of the total fees due. Among the executive MBA (weekend programmes), some 767 fee vouchers were issued to students worth over Rs100.30 million. Of this, some 513 students had paid their fees worth Rs40.20 million, whereas 254 students were defaulting on fees worth over Rs60.10 million. Data provided to the participants of the meeting showed that of the total fees the varsity was owed, it had collected only 40.08%. Further, it showed that in 2024, fee collection in the evening programme was just 60.1%, whereas out of a total of 2,522 fee vouchers generated, some 1,541 students had cleared their dues, while 981 students were defaulters. Bilal Sheikh Praised As Role Model For Helping Thousands In UK Through Education Meanwhile, in 2023, fee collection was around 52.95% when around 3,912 fee vouchers were issued, of which 2,071 students paid their fees and 1,840 were defaulters. In 2022, fee collection was around 41.53% with around 3,272 fee vouchers issued, of which 1,359 students paid their tuition fees. The meeting was told that in 2021, about 3,231 fee vouchers were issued, of which students had paid 1,260, but 1,971 students were defaulters, which means only 39% of students paid their fees. In 2020, KU issued 338 fee vouchers, and 242 students paid their fees. Still, 96 students defaulted, reflecting that 71.60% had cleared their dues. The members were also informed that 151 students, who have graduated, still get fee vouchers. Of these, 70 students had paid their dues, while 81 former students were still defaulting on their payments, showing that 46.36% of ex-students have paid their dues.Southwestern Public Health (SWPH) is reporting a new case of measles in a patient who may have exposed others.

State Board of Education approves Bible-infused curriculumSHOW OF SUPPORT Since Monday, supporters of Vice President Sara Duterte have been gathering just outside Edsa Shrine in Quezon City. They numbered about a hundred, some of them shown here, when this photo was taken on Wednesday morning. —Niño Jesus Orbeta MANILA, Philippines — A Catholic Church leader appealed for sobriety and prayers over what he called a “brewing political storm,” noting how it had distracted and “drained” the energy of government leaders who should be focused on uplifting the poor. “Of late, events in our country have been disconcerting. Many of our people are still reeling from the effects of the onslaught of recent typhoons,’’ Manila Archbishop Cardinal Jose Advincula said in a statement on Wednesday. “The brewing political storm that our political leaders are facing has drained their energy to serve those in most need and the neglected,” Advincula added. READ: PNP: Duterte supporters allegedly promised payment for Edsa rally The cardinal’s statement, which did not name any political leader, came a few days after Vice President Sara Duterte again went on a rant and said she had arranged to have President Marcos, first lady Liza Araneta-Marcos and Speaker Martin Romualdez assassinated if an alleged plot to kill her succeeds. Advincula called on Filipino Catholics to pray that their leaders “receive the grace to exercise statesmanship in most trying times so that sobriety may prevail in our land and that political issues and personal interests may not divide the nation.” He also asked “leaders of goodwill” from the different sectors “to do what they can to prevent the escalation of political and personal conflicts.” Meanwhile, Fr. Jerome Secillano, rector of the Archdiocesan Shrine of Mary, Queen of Peace, popularly known as Edsa Shrine, denied social media reports that the pro-Duterte crowd that flocked to the church on Tuesday were “shooed away.” Manila Archbishop Cardinal Jose Advincula —Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila Office of Communications FB photo “They even expressed thanks before they left after the 6 p.m. Mass. They said it was a good thing that they were allowed to stay inside the Edsa Shrine,” Secillano said in a Facebook post. But he called out the unnamed organizers of a “rally” that was supposed to be held outside the shrine and attended by the Mass goers. “I am appealing to the organizers of this ‘rally.’ Please don’t take advantage of these people. Don’t make them your hapless pawns. You’ve been exploiting them for too long,” Secillano said. “These people need genuine care. They are waiting and hoping. But you made them believe that help and change are coming. They are disillusioned with your empty promises, rhetorics and your feigned concern for them. Please stop your evil ways. These people deserve better!” he added. Social media posts earlier made the rounds inviting Duterte supporters to gather on Wednesday afternoon on “Edsa,” which pertains to the highway, not specifically to the shrine. The invitation, posted on the Facebook of former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque, reads: “We are no Filipinos for nothing. The country needs us. Let’s go to Edsa. Let’s express our sentiments!!! November 27, 2024 —– 4PM” The Philippine National Police said it had also monitored posts indicating that those who came to Edsa Shrine were offered P500 each to show up. “There are videos showing that some of them were allegedly transported from their barangays to the venue. They were promised food and cash,” PNP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo said at a press briefing. “Without demeaning the purpose and intent of the people there, again, we don’t want to prejudge our countrymen here who were promised and used [by others] for their own vested interest,” she said. Around a hundred people were at the shrine as of 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Fajardo said. “I understand they were allowed by the management of the Edsa Shrine as long as their purpose was to pray once they entered the chapel. They are prohibited from engaging in any protest action, particularly inside the chapel. They are also not allowed to stay overnight,” she said.
