Bill Lazor is the new coordinator s name and he took the place of the Bengals old coordinator, Ken Zampese. Bill is going to totally change the offense of the Cincinnati Bengals. If you follow the Bengals, you would know that in the season one of the Bengals main problems was the offensive line. So the Bengals got a new offensive line coach. His name is Frank Pollack, he replaced Paul Alexander, who coached the offensive line from He will bring a great change to the Bengals line. So far this season, you can already tell a big difference between last year s offense and offensive line. I think both of these coaches were just what the Bengals needed. Because all his uncles were ants!

I don t know why, but my family convinced me to take a trip there. Or at least what is left of them. To start off my trip, I took a walk in the woods to clear my mind, to ponder what I have done. I was a mile in before I started to realize it was getting late. As I turned to go back, I realized that I was lost. So I decided to head to the place where I can be my true self. When I started to head that way I felt a sharp pinch in my neck and then all I could see was black. (to be continued... ) Why are frogs always so happy? They eat whatever bugs them!

6 Page 6 UP FOR DEBATE Is a softball or baseball harder to hit? Softball By: Ella Jansen Most people think just because a baseball is smaller than a softball that it is easier to hit. I disagree. The barrel on a softball bat is much smaller than one on a baseball bat. This makes it harder to get a good hit. A softball mound is only 43 feet from home plate, a baseball mound is 60 feet from home. You have less reaction time to hit the ball. Softball pitchers throw multiple pitches including fastball, change-up, curve, rise, drop ball, drop curve ball, and many more. All these pitches come in at different angles and different speeds making it hard to hit. That is why I think a softball is harder to hit than a baseball. Baseball By: Adam Kelhoffer A baseball is much smaller than a softball so the area where you can make contact is smaller. Baseballs are thrown much harder than softballs. Throwing overhand makes the ball travel faster. At the 13 year old age group, softballs are thrown 55 miles per hour, where a baseball is thrown at an average of 60 miles per hour. Pitchers are more advanced in throwing breaking balls and curve balls. That is why I think a baseball is harder to hit than a softball. Why are teddy bears never hungry? Because they are always stuffed!

7 Page 7 IT S ALMOST HALLOWEEN!!! By: Hailey Lipp and Ashley Borgman Do you know how you can make some spooky Halloween slime? Here s the recipe... What You Need : School Glue Borax Food Coloring (optional) Water Two Bowls Plastic Googly Eyes Directions : Step 1: In one bowl, mix 1 oz. glue (about ¼ of the glue bottle) and ¼ cup water. If you want colored slime, add food coloring to the glue and water mixture. Step 2: Add ¼ cup of Borax Solution to the glue and water mixture and stir slowly. Step 3: The slime will begin to form immediately. Lift some of the solution with the stir stick and observe how the consistency has changed from Step 1. Step 4: Stir as much as you can, then dig in and knead it with your hands until it gets less sticky. This is a messy experience, but it is necessary because it allows the two compounds to bond completely. Don t worry about any leftover water in the bowl; just pour it out. After the contents are made into a slime, add your googly eyes to give it that spooky finish. Step 5: When not in use, store slime in a plastic bag in the fridge to keep from growing mold.

8 Page 8 iphone 10s Max vs. Samsung Galaxy Note 9 First off I am an Apple user and personally hate Apple. I would love to be an Android-using family so I could get a Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Since I am an Apple user, an iphone I would like to have would be an Apple IPhone 10s Max. Anyway we are here today to compare the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and the Apple iphone 10s Max, I am not taking any side during the comparison. Let s start with core chips, a 10s Max has an A12 bionic chip and Samsung does not feature a chip. Now time for storage capacity, a 10s Max can feature the highest capacity of 512gb and a Note 9 can feature the highest of 512gb.

Moving on to CPU, a Note 9 features a Snapdragon 845 and a 10s Max does not feature a Snapdragon because Apple does not support Snapdragons.
