HEADLINE: A Valley on the Rise

ASU Game

ASU football is off to a hot start this season with a 5-2 record going into their bye week. In the last two seasons, ASU has combined for a total of 6 wins and they are looking to conquer that amount in one season. ASU’s second-year head coach Kenny Dillingham has goals and aspirations for the program that fans haven’t seen in a long time. He is making a difference one day at a time and is trying to rally everyone to support his team and be the difference-maker in these big home games.

ASU has had a quick turnaround with a powerful offense and a great defense. Cam Skattebo is a big reason for their success being that he is averaging over 121 yards per game and has 10 touchdowns on the season. ASU and their head coach are big on making risky decisions like going for it on 4th down when leading by just a few or instilling trust in a freshman punter to convert on 4th down with a fake punt.

ASU is rapidly showing how its program is taking flight and becoming a power-hungry team that we can look forward to seeing in a few years. ASU has had a rough go-around and now you can see the team’s morale and goals are changing, and we still have almost the season to play. They haven’t made a bowl game since 2021 when they were beaten by the Wisconsin Badgers 20-13 in the Las Vegas Bowl. They are currently one win away from achieving bowl eligibility and they have no signs of stopping after that. They are still fighting to play in a bigger game even though there isn’t the best of odds of them making it into the College Football Playoffs.

About the Contributor

Noah Booras, Sports Editor

Noah Anthony Booras is a dedicated, hard-working, and laid-back kind of guy. He’s been my best buddy since kindergarten and I’ve gotten to know him very well and about his future goals. Noah is attending Journalism right now to further his career in the Journalism field and to become a play-by-play broadcaster for the Giants baseball team in San Francisco. He’s always been very intrigued by the game of baseball, although he isn’t much of a fan of playing it, his undying love for the game makes him want to continue talking about it. If you ever want to talk about baseball or ask a question about a player, Noah will have the answer. Noah has many hobbies and interesting likings that many people may agree with. He is a fan of playing golf, and his favorite player happens to be John Daly because he is such a successful golfer. Noah also likes to play video games like MLB The Show, Madden, and even Fortnite. He enjoys spending time with his little brother Lincoln and little sister Cadence. He and Lincoln play games together a lot and Lincoln even plays baseball because his big brother paved the way for him. He is a big fan of wings, but in particular mild buffalo-flavored wings from Buffalo Wild Wings. Noah Anthony is 6’0 200lbs, has dark brown hair, and brown eyes, and always seems to be wearing something that has the San Francisco Giants on it, whether is be a hat or a shirt. Noah loves his shoes and has multiple types, ranging from Nike dunks, to hey dudes. He dresses very casually and sometimes is a country kind of guy. He never wears any type of glasses, even when he drives his beautiful Chevy truck which just so happens to be a red 1981 Chevrolet C10. He’s a very nice and friendly person who is a social butterfly. You could leave this man in a room with people he’s never met before and he would make friends with just about every one of them. Overall, Noah is the type of person you can get along with no matter what. If you don’t know how don’t worry, he will find something to talk about. Noah has been one of my closest friends since I’ve known him and I trust him with any info that I may need to talk about. He’s a wonderful person and he will achieve whatever he puts his mind to.
