"There's an old say- ing, and I'm not so sure it didn't originate at Corn- ing, but it's that the wing- T only goes as far as your guards take you," Studer said. "One, if not both, of those guys are pulling on 90 percent of our plays, and in most cases, they're making the critical block that we're running the play off of. They have either the kick-out or the lead-up on to the linebacker, and it's true, you need those guys to run this offense. They get it." Running behind Villa and Jones, along with the rest of the Corning line, is a diverse and multi-fac- eted backfield group in- cluding senior fullbacks Joe Aguirre and Tony Car- rillo. Most defenses tend to try to take away the full- back first in wing-T sets, so carries for that position are usually in the 10-to-12 range for Corning's. That might change as defenses continue to key in on the dive, but the Cardinals are multiple enough with a mo- bile quarterback and two wingbacks that Studer said he still sees opportunities for Aguirre and Carrillo to have an impact. Alex Davila, a balanced 1,000-yard rusher as a sophomore last year, will complement Chance Nel- son, a more elusive back who represents one of Corning's best big-play threats. Junior Wyatt Hay- don is the quarterback, and the run-happy Cardinals have been so pleased with what they've seen from his throws already that Studer anticipates being able to use his arm as a weapon. "One of the reasons I think we've caught the ball so well early on is because he throws such a good ball," Studer said. "Unlike a typ- ical season for us, the air attack will be more of a threat. He commands the huddle really well, too. Anyone watching practice would suspect he's a senior." His top target figures to be Aiden Nye, who ro- tated between receiver and the backfield last sea- son. Defensively, Corning has seven players return- ing that started at one point or another last year; the downside is that many of them also started on of- fense. The Cardinals have the most talent on the field, on both sides of the ball, using two-way players. But Studer still believes he'll have the depth to keep ev- eryone fresh enough to compete in Division III. Cardinals FROM PAGE 1 Corning begins defense of its Northern Athletic League title when the Car- dinals travel to Yreka on Tuesday. Volleyball WEST VALLEY 3, RED BLUFF 0 The Lady Spartans opened their season by be- ing swept on the road in Cottonwood. West Valley won 25-18, 25-14, 25-17. Kayla Spratt led the Lady Eagles with eight kills. Shea Bertolucci re- corded 24 digs. Red Bluff (0-1) travels to Reno, Nevada for the High Sierra Invite over the week- end. Roundup FROM PAGE 1 To earn that Mercy will have to finish in first or sec- ond place in the California- South league, improving on last year's fourth place finish and 4-7 record. "They've all been work- ing hard, they're putting in the work," Benefield said. The Warriors plan to run a Power I offense and Benefield said the team will use a quarterback by committee approach with as many as four players taking snaps from center including Koleby Potter and Richie Borges. Benefield, a defensive- minded coach, has said he plans to find a way to stop the high-scoring offenses that make up 8-man foot- ball. William Gentry has stood out during prac- tice and will provide se- nior leadership for what is a very young Mercy ros- ter that includes three freshmen and three soph- omores. Benefield pointed to one of those freshman, Jim Nichols, as a player that has continued to im- prove from practice to practice. Mercy will need the other 14 players to follow suit, but first they'll just need them to be allowed to suit up. Warriors FROM PAGE 1 solely on leading the Red Bluff offense. Hein says Lewis brings an option threat the Spartans haven't had in years and is a good decision maker with the football. While the defense may be getting the public- ity, the offense doesn't look too shabby either. "I like that we have so many playmakers," Lewis said. "I have so many op- tions to get the ball to and I can always count on the players around me to get open and to block for me." The playmakers Lewis refers to resembles a bas- ketball team more than a football team. Clement and Dodero give the Spartans a duo of tight ends that should provide nightmare programs. There's also Skaggs and Joseph Bosetti and a speedster in Lyon. Junior Lane Pritchard, who joined the team late and has to get in more mandatory practices be- fore he's game eligible, rounds out the aerial at- tack. "We feel really, really good about our receiv- ers. We feel they stack up against anybody in the sec- tion," Hein said. Carrying the ball for Red Bluff will be Koe- nig and Hinkston. Hein said they'll rotate series as both are also defensive starters. As a game wears on plan for Red Bluff to go with whoever has the hot hand that night. Hein said both players have clicked in their fourth and final year of high school football. "It's pretty big. It's senior year, last year playing foot- ball. I want to put it all out there," Koenig said. Obviously Nunez will anchor the line they run behind. Jensen provides more experience at center, but after that Red Bluff will be relying on some new- comers. Ryan Gamoba, a junior has impressed and Dallas Heathcoat has been slotted in at the right tackle. For special teams Dodero will kick and Lewis will handle punting duties himself. Hein said the height ad- vantages his tight ends have will allow the Spar- tans to utilize mismatches at those positions and else- where when teams try to compensate. He's keeping to himself just how Red Bluff will take advantage of that height. "We have some new wrinkles, you'll have to wait and see," Hein said with a smile. Another aspect of the program Hein is ex- cited about is the sched- ule. Hein said he wanted to schedule local rivalries for the non-league sea- son and thus Central Val- ley and West Valley have found their way on to Red Bluff's schedule. He's also happy the historic com- munity rivalry that is the Anderson game has stayed along with the traditional Tehama County Shootout with Corning. As for the league, Hein described the EAL sched- ule as well "rough." It's ultimately what the Spartans will be judged on to determine if Red Bluff was merely knocking or fi- nally crashed through that door. Spartans FROM PAGE 1 By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press NEW YORK Acknowledg- ing he "didn't get it right" with a two-game suspen- sion for Ravens running back Ray Rice, NFL Com- missioner Roger Goodell announced tougher penal- ties for players accused of domestic violence, includ- ing six weeks for a first of- fense and at least a year for a second. In a letter sent to all 32 team owners Thursday and obtained by The Asso- ciated Press, Goodell never mentions Rice by name but makes clear references to the Baltimore player who was charged with assault after being caught on video dragging his then-fiancee off a casino elevator. "My disciplinary deci- sion led the public to ques- tion our sincerity, our com- mitment, and whether we understood the toll that do- mestic violence inflicts on so many families. I take responsibility both for the decision and for ensuring that our actions in the fu- ture properly reflect our values," Goodell wrote. "I didn't get it right. Simply put, we have to do better. And we will." Since January 2000, 77 players have been involved in 85 domestic violence in- cidents with six being cut by their teams, according to USA Today's NFL Ar- rests Database. The NFL suspended six players for one game each, and Rice was the second player to be suspended for two games. Carolina Panthers de- fensive end Greg Hardy was convicted in July of assaulting his ex-girlfriend and has appealed for a jury trial set for November. His league punishment has not been announced.
