Class: RS SophomoreHometown: Pittsburgh, Pa.High School: The Patterson SchoolHeight / Weight: 6-4 / 200Position: GOutlook: Kane stormed onto the scene last season as the C-USA Freshman of the Year. This year, Kane was named to the Preseason All Conference USA First Team. Look for the sophomore to try to beat defenders off the dribble from the point guard position. He also is a strong defender, leading the club with 32 steals last season.

Class: SeniorHometown: Santo Domingo, Dominican Rep.High School: Charlotte HSHeight / Weight: 6-6 / 220Position: FOutlook: Last season, Pena led the team with 54 three-pointers. Look for the senior to continue with the hot hand from behind the arc. After starting only 12 games last season, Pena now will play a more prominent role in the offense. He should start most, if not all, games –– should he remain healthy.

Class: SeniorHometown: Charlotte, N.C.High School: Hargrave Military AcademyHeight / Weight: 5-10 / 165Position: GOutlook: Pitts is the undisputed leader of this year’s team. Look for the senior to be Herrion’s voice on the court. Last year, he led the team in scoring with more than 16 PPG. Pitts is also a smart player with great court vision. Although he will likely spend most of his time at shooting guard, he also can take over the point and run the offense.

Class: RS FreshmanHometown: Richmond, Va.High School: Huntington PrepHeight / Weight: 6-5 / 225Position: GOutlook: Highly touted out of high school, Coleman sat out last season because of NCAA transfer regulations. The freshman often will be the most athletic player on the court, with the ability to play from the perimeter or the paint. Look for Coleman to excite the crowd often with his high-flying, acrobatic slam dunks.

Head Coach Tom Herrion enters into his second season with the Thundering Herd basketball program. Last year, Herrion racked up 22 wins, including six against RPI top 100 teams. Before becoming the Herd’s head coach, Herrion was the head coach at the College of Charleston from 2002 to 2006. He then became the associate head coach at the University of Pittsburgh. Herrion also has previously coached as an assistant at Providence College and the University of Virginia. The head coach grabbed his 100th victory last year when the Herd beat SMU in February. Herrion graduated from Merrimack College in 1989, where he lettered in both basketball and baseball.

Herd opens regular season against Alabama StateBY JAKE SNYDERTHE PARTHENON

The time for talk has passed. The exhibitions are over. Herd basketball is here, and this one counts.

The Herd takes on Alabama State at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Cam Henderson Center.

Marshall comes into this season sporting high expec-tations after a 22-win season last year. The Herd went 9-7 in Conference USA games, but are picked to finish second this year behind Memphis.

“In the horse racing indus-try, everyone gets in the gate at the same time,” Head Coach

Tom Herrion said. “The gates are going to open up, and we better come out flying.”

Marshall will attempt to do so behind the three seniors, Dago Pena, Shaquille Johnson and Damier Pitts.

“It’s paramount that what they’ve done is exhibit leader-ship and ownership, I think, since last spring through the summer when we got most of the new guys here,” Herrion said. “That was a big benefit for us.”

Pitts, who led the team in scoring last season, said the hype cannot mean anything to the players.

“We can’t really pay

attention to the newspapers and the magazines,” Pitts said. “The newspapers and the magazines aren’t going to win us any games when its time to play. We just have to stay humble, come to practice every day and just take it from there.”

The Herd opens up the sea-son agaisnt Alabama State, who is picked to win their conference, the Southwestern Athletic Conference.

This game marks the first in a line of tough contests for Marshall. The Herd also will take on MAAC favorite Iona and Atlantic Sun favor-ite Belmont, in addition to

three games against Big East opponents.

“Our schedule is going to test us mightily, right from the start,” Herrion said.

The Hornets were just 16-15 last season, but return five seniors and four juniors to the roster.

Leading the way for Ala-bama State is senior guard Jeff Middlebrooks. Middle-brooks was one of only three players to play in every game for the Hornets last season.

The Thundering Herd roster features several new faces this year, including five freshmen.

“It’s going to be a key part

that everybody gets on the same page when the season comes,” Pitts said. “Every-body has to know their role, and everybody has to play hard.”

For the first time in recent Herd basketball history, this club is expected to finish near the top of the Conference USA standings.

“If you’re picked at the bot-tom, it means you don’t win a lot,” Herrion said. “My re-cord says I win a little bit, I think. I like being at the top. The view from the top is a lot better.”

Herrion and his team will have the chance to prove their

merit, beginning Friday. The Herd will spend the months of November and December playing non-conference oppo-nents before conference play begins in early January.

When C-USA play begins, the Herd will have two months to prepare for the conference tournament, which begins on March 7.

“I want to make that NCAA tournament,” Pitts said. “I haven’t been to the tourna-ment in my whole four years...that would just put a cap on it all.”

Marshall football returns to the gridiron Saturday af-ternoon for the first time since Oct. 29 and will at-tempt to win back-to-back games.

The Thundering Herd (4-5, 3-2) was one of 21 teams in the NCAA FBS to play for nine straight weeks.

Senior linebacker Tyson Gale said the bye week was a much needed break.

“It felt good to finally take a deep breath for the first time since the season started,” Gale said. “It was a chance for us to refocus and regain our energy. We got some guys healed up and rested.”

Two weeks ago, when the University of Alabama-Birmingham traveled to

Huntington to take on Mar-shall, the Herd put together a complete game that culmi-nated in a 59-14 win over the Blazers.

Saturday’s opponent for the Herd will be the Uni-versity of Tulsa Golden Hurricane, who’s only losses on the season have come against No. 2 Oklahoma State, No. 5 Boise State and No. 6 Oklahoma.

Gale and Delvin Johnson, a redshirt senior defensive lineman, said not just one guy on the Tulsa offense makes or breaks the Golden Hurricane.

“There are a lot of guys that play well together,” Gale said. “Their quar-terback, multiple running backs and receivers are all good players. They don’t have a superstar, but they have a lot of guys who are

pretty good and they’re re-ally good when they play together.”

“They play well as 11 guys,” Johnson said. “There are not a lot of individuals out there. They just play as a whole team. I think that’s why they’re so successful right now.”

Tulsa has a balanced of-fensive attack, averaging 246.7 yards passing and 190.4 yards rushing per game.

The Golden Hurricane offense is led by senior quarterback G.J. Kinne, who averages 267.4 yards of total offense.

Gale said Kinne can make plays at any given moment for the Tulsa offense.

“He’s just a great player who can throw the ball well and is probably the most effective guy we’re going to face this year at running

the football,” Gale said. “He gives us two dimensions, which is difficult to prepare for, but its something we’ve faced all year.”

Marshall head coach Doc Holliday said the Herd must tackle well against the Golden Hurricane to be successful.

“We’re going to have to get hats on them,” Holliday said. “One of things you have to do to do that is make sure you’re swarming to the ball.”

Saturday’s game kicks off in Tulsa at noon and will be the second midday kickoff for the Thundering Herd.

The first noon kickoff for Marshall this year ended in the 59-14 dismantling of UAB.

A fairly new bagel shop in Huntington has been shut down due to lack of business.

The managers of New York Bagel Cafe’ & Deli are officially closing their doors today.

NY Bagel, on Fourth Ave, was open for approxi-mately seven months until the managers decided they weren’t getting the busi-ness they needed to keep the shop open.

“We just weren’t getting that large amount of peo-ple and we weren’t making enough money,” said Pam Jones, store manager of NY Bagel. “Our average sale was only $3 for a bagel and coffee. We just needed longer lines, more public-ity and more people flow.”

Jones said the store is officially closing after selling coffee Fiday.

“I had originally planned to close the shop next week,” Jones said. “But somehow a rumor got out on Facebook say-ing that it was closing today. So the rumor just escalated from there. We

actually sold out of food this week from all the last minute business we received. However, I will still be here all morning selling coffee, but I will close the shop today, sim-ply because I have nothing left to sell.”

Jones said that if NY Bagel had the kind of busi-ness they had in the last two days, the shop would still be open. She said the NY Bagel staff is sad to see the business close.

“Personally, I have en-joyed working here and I loved the people that came in,” Jones said. “I’ve dedicated myself to this place, and I enjoyed the company we received ev-ery morning. The people were really great. We had regulars such as teach-ers, students, the soccer teams, the basketball teams, the golf team, medical students and peo-ple who were just on their way to work, swinging by the shop to grab a bite for breakfast. It really has been a pleasure working here.”

Pledges of Alpha Phi Omega help provide a bet-ter Christmas for children in need.

The 2011 pledges of Alpha Phi Omega took donations Thursday for Operation Christmas Child.

Operation Christmas Child is a project ran by Sa-maritan’s Purse. Samaritan’s Purse is a nondenomina-tional, evangelical Christian organization. They help peo-ple who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease and famine.

“Operation Christmas Child collects donated shoeboxes with basic necessities,”said Joshua Wimmer, Alpha Phi Omega pledge.

People can also put the do-nated items in plastic storage containers.

“Our goal is to make at least 50 boxes,” said Katlyn Chuchiak, Alpha Phi Omega pledge.

“ The items are sent to Eastern Europe, Africa and parts of the United States,” Wimmer said. “The items are sent places that have

experienced war and eco-nomic downturns,” he said.

“It is our duty to share what we have in hopes to equalize distribution,” Wimmer said.

So far the pledges have made approximatly $30 in donations on campus and 400 items were donated from Chuchiak’s hometown of Moundsville.

Each pledge is making two boxes with items in them to donate in addition to what they have already received.

Items that can be donated to Christmas for children in-clude toys, school supplies and hygiene items. Other items include hard candy, lollipops, hair clips and socks.

Items that can’t be do-nated include damaged items, war-related items or toys, chocolate, liquids or lotions, aerosol cans or breakable items.

Anyone who would like to make a donation but missed their opportunity, can go the Samaritan’s Purse website at www.samaritanspurse.org.

Huntington Mall to host November activities

BY KELLY STARKEY THE PARTHENON

Marshall University’s Delta Sigma Pi business fra-ternity hosted a nonprofit fair Thursday in the Memorial Student Center lobby.

“Different nonprofits were here, and students had the op-portunities for part-time jobs or internships and volunteers positions,” said Sharafina Azman Al-Rashid, president for Delta Sigma Pi.

Vanessa Leithoff, vice president of Chapter Opera-tions, Professional Activities and Alumni Relations for Delta Sigma Pi, said that it is important for students to attend events like the no profit fair, because stu-dents can put it on their resume. It also is important for students to work with

the nonprofit organizations within Huntington because they are always looking for volunteers.

“Nonprofits are always giving internships, and they always need help,” Leithoff said. “I think having people come and promote the orga-nization is important, and it gives students a lot of op-portunities as well as the organization.”

Thirteen nonprofit organi-zations attended the fair.

“We had American Red Cross, Healing Place of Huntington, Hospice of

Huntington, Mountain State Center for Learning, Dress for Success, Big Brothers Big Sisters, The Girl Scouts, Contact Huntington and sev-eral other nonprofits located in Huntington,” Leithoff said.

“As students we should strive to be more well rounded,” Al-Rashid said.

“And with these organiza-tions that were here, they are all great organizations, and it will be a good experience for students to give back to the community. People think that you don’t learn much

from volunteer activities, but in all actuality it is a great resume booster and stu-dents learn how to be more organized.”

Rashawna Smilley, pro-gram coordinator of Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Tri-State area said, “We usually come to the fair in September, and last time, we got a lot of volunteers from the last fair... We were happy to come back in and get some more volunteers.”

Josh Webb, community based case management for Big Brothers Big Sisters, said, “I think the event is great, and I think everyone should volunteer. It benefits the volunteer, and it helps them grow.”

Marshall University’s women’s basketball pro-gram will open up the regular season in the Cam Henderson Center on Fri-day, hosting Kent State for a non-conference matchup.

The Thundering Herd is coming off of a solid pre-season performance, winning both of its exhibi-tion games against Salem International and Bluefield State.

Both pre-season exhibi-tion wins were blowouts for Marshall, as the Herd tram-pled Salem International 83-37 before dismantling Bluefield State 96-36.

Kent State looks to be a different story. Former Mid-American Conference opponents from 1997 until 2005 when Marshall joined up with Conference USA, Marshall has won five of the last eight showdowns against Kent State –– how-ever the Golden Flashes hold the most recent bragging

rights, dropping the Herd 79-55 at Kent State’s home opener last season.

“It’s nice to start another season,” Marshall Head Coach Royce Chadwick said during Media Day ear-lier this fall, previewing a younger, healthier roster than the injury plagued line-up of 2010-2011. “We are very excited about this year,”

“We are extremely com-petitive in practice right now,” Chadwick said. “I remember last year look-ing down the bench and we couldn’t press because we only had six or seven play-ers available and healthy to play. We had some red shirts who were sitting out who have [become] our starters this year. They know our system, they are young, energetic and they are making a difference on the basketball court.”

Chadwick spoke in ref-erence of red-shirt junior guard Shynisha Johnson, sophomore forward Su-poria Dickens and red-shirt sophomore guard Erica Woods – three jerseys Herd hoops fans can get used to seeing on the court this season.

Notable returners for the Herd include senior guards Lateidra Elliott and Rashedah Henriques, who are both in good shape fol-lowing knee surgery in the off-season.

Another key guard don-ning Thundering Herd colors in her senior season is Alaya Mitchell.

“Mitchell has been our main stay,” Chadwick said. “She was there every single day last year, and she’s been here every single day this fall.”

Historically, Marshall matches up with Kent State fairly well. While the Golden Flashes have the overall se-ries advantage, winning 16 out of the 22 total meetings between the teams – five of Marshall’s six victories over Kent State came during current Golden Flash head coach Bob Lindsay’s tenure.

Victoria Wells expressed excitement looking forward to the game Friday.

“We’re excited,” Wells said. “We’re ready to start the season off right –– this is what we’ve been working for.”
