Rating System Made Television More Adult

Several years ago the television industry, under pressure, decided the best way to deal with the concerns certain groups had with television programming was to implement a ratings system. The U.S.government was going to implement their own ratings system if the television industry didn't, but the television industry stepped in and said they would do it themselves to avoid the interference. Now, depending on which network or Cable Channel one watches, television shows have ratings like Y7, Y14, M, PG, A, etc.And which television show gets which rating depends mostly on what an individual at the network thinks it deserves.A show that gets a Y14 (not intended for anyone under 14) on one network might get an M (for mature) on another. Certain networks add additional letters to clarify their ratings.There's V for violence, S for sexual situations, L for language and a couple others I haven't been able to decipher yet.

SYRACUSE -ÊDespite 12 first-quarter turnovers and 30 percent shooting from the field, Wawasee was able to lock visiting Lakeland down defensively en route to a 40-33 win in girls basketball Tuesday night. The Warriors got off to a slow start as they telegraphed passes and Lakeland's Abby Neff stepped in to the passing lanes four times to score six first-quarter points as the Lakers jumped out to a 12-5 lead after one period. Wawasee ratcheted up its defensive pressure to outscore Lakeland 11-3 in the second quarter.The Lakers didn't make a field goal until 1:53 left in the half when Sammy Jo Simon nailed a jumper to tie the game at 15-15. The Warriors entered the half with a one-point lead at 16-15 after junior Jessie Wolf hit one of two free throws. Both teams played fairly even in the third quarter as both teams struggled with their touch from the floor. Wawasee showed how potentially deep it could be with five different players scoring in the third quarter.

Juniors Ready To Lead Triton Trojans

BOURBON - In middle school, they had a lot of success together. Once high school started, some of this year's juniors on the Triton boys basketball team played freshmen ball while a couple of otherS played junior varsity and a select few made the varsity squad. Now they're reunited and ready to earn some wins for the Trojans. Triton will be led by the one-two punch of Troy McIntyre and Jake Everett. Both have been contributing for the Trojans since they were freshmen and both are being looked upon to step up. "(Jake Everett) has grown a little bit and filled out," said Triton coach Jason Groves."He's a smart player and worked hard over the summer.He was second on our team in rebounding last year.(Troy) McIntyre did a little bit of everything for us last year." McIntyre and Everett are joined on the Triton roster by classmates Reggie Davis, T.J.Carpenter, A.J.Harrison and Bart Christian.

Hungry Warriors One Game Away

SYRACUSE - Every Thursday during the football season, Wawasee's Gridiron Club, a group of parents and supporters, attempt the impossible - to feed the Warriors' entire 90-plus man roster including coaches and their families.The goal is to build greater team unity off the field. On the field, Wawasee has had little trouble with the concept of team unity.Whether it is the ground game of Jordan Swain, the air attack of Kory Lantz or the defense stepping up, this team has found a way to win. Tonight's contest against Logansport (11-2) will decide the northern representative in the 4A state final at the RCA Dome.The last time the Warriors were in Indianapolis was in week five for the NLC's Day at the Dome. Since that game, where Wawasee beat NorthWood 38-34, the Warriors have been on the warpath. Wawasee's margin of victory since that game has been an average of 21 points per contest.

The Vikings grabbed momentum early as they recovered a Manchester fumble on the first play of the game.The Vikings then jumped out to a 3-0 lead when Nathan Moore sent the ball through the uprights for a 46-yard field goal. The Valley squad then increased its lead to 9-0 after recovering a Manchester fumble in the endzone with 2:19 remaining in the first quarter.

One Hill Of A Play For Warsaw

It wasn't the typical guys Friday night that gave Warsaw a 19-7 victory over Northridge in a Northern Lakes Conference matchup. It wasn't Jose Esquivel, Warsaw's leading rusher on the year. It wasn't Ross Kesler, the team's top receiver. It wasn't even Greg Seiss, the Tigers' quarterback. What it was was Jon Hill, a senior wide receiver playing just his second year of football that turned the game around for the Tigers on a running play.What it also was was a stifling defensive line that turned the dangerous Northridge option attack into nothing more than an 11-man punching bag after allowing 31 points to South Bend St.Joe last weekend.

Warsaw Wins Fourth Straight

MIDDLEBURY - Northridge should have seen the writing on the wall. Starting quarterback Joe Sickels was on the bench after an injury in practice this week.On homecoming night, the Raiders were left with a P.A.system on the rocks until the second quarter.The senior float was driven by someone with a lead foot who almost dropped all the float riders off the back, and the Northridge radio station had a short in one of its wires causing it to go dead about once every two minutes. And then there was the rain. If only Northridge had called it quits and decided that it just wasn't meant to be on Friday night.But the Raiders stepped on the field and were overmatched from the beginning in a 27-0 rout for Warsaw's second shutout of the season.
