Saturday, November 13th at Arrowhead Stadium

By Jason LawrenceEdge Staff

The Fall Classic has become a staple for both Northwest and Pittsburg State. The latest installment didn’t fail to disappoint as the Bearcats left Arrowhead Stadium 22-16 victors. Here’s a recap of the game, all in 300 characters or less.*Sophomore running back Jordan Simmons had 192 all-purpose yards and accounted for both Northwest touchdowns. He rushed for a career high 95

yards on nine carries and broke off a 54-yard run for the first score of the game. Simmons also scored on a 58-yard pass from senior quarterback

Blake Bolles, who became Northwest’s all-time leading passer during the game.

**This is where it all went wrong. The Gorillas had Northwest backed into a corner. Pitt State got the ball on its own 38 with 1:21 and one timeout left. The Bearcats hadn’t stopped the Gorillas ground game all day and Pitt called all pass plays on the last drive. Three straight passes inside of the Northwest 15 fell incomplete, with two of them getting batted down. Pitt State has 292 rushing yards in comparison with only 119 yards pass-ing, 49 of which came on that final drive. With a little time to work with, the Gorillas should have run the ball in the red zone.

As it were, Northwest pulled it out and ran its conference winning streak to 46 games. The Bearcats secured the No. 3 seed in Super Region 4 and face Missouri Western for the second time this season at noon on Saturday at Bearcat Stadium. The ’Cats knocked off Western 42-0 back on Oct. 2.

The Winner of No. 3-No. 6 travels to Kingsville, Texas to face No. 2 for the second round and the winner of No. 4-No. 5 travels to Abilene, Texas to play No. 1 in round two.

On November 12, the fraternity Tau Kappa Epsilon hosted their first annual hip-hop/rap concert featuring many local performers.

The concert was held to make money for the Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation through a cover at the door and from selling t-shirts. Black t-shirts with bright pink letting were sold and handed out before the event as express tickets into the show. “We worked hard to find local performers from Maryville, as well as the surrounding areas, such as St. Joe. The line up looks real promis-ing and should be a tight show.” Will Wilburn, a member of TKE who headed the event, said.

There were a total of seven different performers as well as a DJ, one even being Wilburn’s brother.

The show included performances by: Brandon Panosh, Young Rakan, Lil Frosty, Khan-X, Mo Money Records, Flames and Cole Deshler. The doors opened at 8 p.m. and there was quite the line to get in, after the express people got in first.

Members said the event was a success with a big turn out of people supporting the cause and enjoying the show.

“We were really proud of the turnout, it was nice to relate a party to a good cause and have people actually come and enjoy themselves,” Chris Fuller, a TKE junior said.

After the performance was over Cole Deshler, one of the performers of the night said, “It was an honor to perform for such a great cause... I couldn’t ask for a better experience for my first performance”

The fraternity ended up raising around $500 to give to the Breast Can-cer Awareness Foundation. The fraternity hopes to continue the event and keep raising money for the cause.

Breasts

He’s got the magic in him...

Norman uses the power of telepathy to figure out what object a member of the audience is thinking of. He then writes the object down on the drawing pad and the object magically appears from behind the drawing pad.michaela fernen

In this trick, Norman takes an ordinary piece if paper and folds it as small as it can go. While unfolding the paper, it magically turns into a twenty-dollar bill, to which he gave to a member of the audience.michaela fernen

Norman performs the classic rope trick for the audience. He turns the rope from solid to cut in three sections, reconnects the sections, and makes the knots jump from end to end of the rope.michaela fernen

The crowd gets to participate when Norman throws out beach balls to determine his next contestants. He does this to ensure that every contestant is randomly chosen and not pre-picked before the show.

For the past 17 years, Norman Ng has performed shows for colleges and universities, fairs, corporate events and for crowds as large as 500,000 people. Ng is a regular at the World Famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, Calif.

On Wednesday, Nov. 10, The Norman Magic Experience brought laughs and illusion to the Northwest Performing Arts Center.

Ng (pronounced “ing”) entertained an enthusiastic crowd with his unique show. He not only displays a variety of magic, but kept the crowd laughing with jokes and by bringing them onto the stage and involving them in his performance.

While people filed into their seats, Ng wasted no time jumping into the crowd and telling those who weren’t sitting close enough, to move on up. From the very first magic trick, Ng had the entire front row begging to be involved, by showing everyone his ability to turn five blank pieces of paper, into five very real one hundred dollar bills.

Every illusion Ng performed involved an audience member. He read minds, and showed others how to read them too. He ripped in half two of the audience members’ one dollar bills in front of our eyes, and somehow pieced them back together. One girl even thought she had her cell phone crushed by his baseball bat, until he told her not to worry, and then showed her it was somehow in a sealed Pringles can on the other side of the stage.

“At first, I wasn’t real excited because I don’t really believe in magic, but I’m definitely a believer now,” Senior Logan Larsen said.

Whether it was truly magic or just an illusion, The Norman Magic Experience definitely put on quite a show.
