NDSU handles business against Omaha WBB in blowout fashion | Sports

The Omaha women’s basketball team remains winless in conference play and suffered its third-largest loss of the season at the hands of North Dakota State.

The Mavericks (2-17, 0-4 Summit League) were blown out by the Bison (15-2, 4-0 Summit League) by a score of 94-39. The game marks the fifth time this season that Omaha has lost by 50 or more points.

NDSU controlled the game from the start. They opened the contest by scoring 15 straight points before Omaha’s Leekaya Burke Perryman ended the run with a layup.

The Bison put together another 9-0 run as the quarter wound down. Regan Juenemann beat the buzzer with a layup, but NDSU led by a whopping 20 points after the first.

The second quarter was followed similarly. The Bison matched their first-quarter total of 24 points and led 48-11 entering the locker room.

The third quarter proved to be the dagger in the backs of the Mavericks. Omaha almost doubled its first half score with ten points in the quarter, but 27 Bison points put the game out of reach. NDSU led 75-21 entering the fourth.

With North Dakota State’s subs in the game for majority of the final ten minutes, the Mavericks were resilient, only being outscored by one point in the final quarter.

Juenemann led the team with 15 points, being the only Maverick to finish in double figures. The freshman shot 6-for-10 from the field in 30 minutes off the bench.

Avril Smith continued crashing the boards, grabbing 15 rebounds in the contest and eclipsing 200 total boards on the season.

Recent addition Reilly Palmer logged her first statistics of the season, recording one rebound and one assist. Lainey Maehl also made her collegiate debut for her first appearance as a Maverick.

Molly Lenz topped the Bison with 24 points on the day, a career high for the junior. In total, four NDSU players scored in double figures.

The Bison shot 42.9 percent from the field and 44 percent from 3-point range compared to the Mavericks’ 27.1 percent and 18.8 percent marks in both categories.

Omaha returns home to host St. Thomas (8-9, 1-2 Summit League) at Baxter Arena on Thursday, Jan. 15 at 6:30 p.m.

Staten Island youth sports notebook: Two basketball teams from borough play at Barclays Center

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Players from two Staten Island youth basketball teams got the experience of a lifetime Friday night when they played at Barclays Center, home of the Brooklyn Nets.

The highly contested 7th-grade B matchup between the Islamic Center of Staten Island (ICIS) and St. Teresa took place following the Nets’ 121-105 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Unlike the pro game in which the Nets trailed 63-47 at the half, the youth tilt was intense with the game being tied at 15 after regulation.

The ICIS squad then won it in overtime, 20-18.

“It was an amazing experience for all the kids and their families!” said St. Teresa parent Josephine Viglione, of the two teams who are both members of the Catholic Youth Organization basketball program.

STEUBENVILLE — It is often said that big things come in small packages.

And in the case of the Sycamore Youth Center, big changes for the children of the Ohio Valley are arriving in the form of six colorful bricks.

The center has reached a historic milestone, officially becoming the first certified educator training site in the United States for Six Bricks.

Six Bricks is an innovative, research-based program that uses six brightly-colored LEGO DUPLO bricks as a simple, hands-on tool to help children develop essential life and learning skills.

While the program has long been a staple for educators overseas, Steubenville is now the home base for its growth in America, reflecting a deep commitment to the community. Bobbyjon Bauman, executive director of the Sycamore Youth Center, explained how the center has always been focused on bringing meaningful, practical tools to those who work with children and families.

Bauman shared that becoming the first certified educator training site in the nation reflects a commitment to evidence-based practices that help children thrive socially, emotionally and academically.

The upcoming training sessions, scheduled for the afternoons of 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday at the Sycamore center, are being coordinated by Michelle Clum through a collaborative effort among the nonprofit organizations the Ohio Valley Youth Network and Six Bricks USA.

Workshop certificates will be issued to those who complete the five-hour training program.

This training is organized for faculty, staff, parents and community members.

Until recently, anyone in the United States wanting to be certified in this method had to seek training from facilitators outside the country.

However, following a successful pilot program and a full year of research conducted in the United States, the results spoke for themselves, showing that 95 percent of students improved in what experts call “SNaPCLaP” skills.

These skills represent a child’s total development, including social-emotional growth, numeracy or math skills, perceptual development, creativity, literacy and physical movement. In addition to the gains seen in students, teachers involved in the research reported the lessons were remarkably easy to store, prepare and adapt to the individual abilities of each child.

The lessons fit comfortably within a standard class period, while keeping children excited and engaged in their work.

Theresa Paterra, one of the first six certified facilitators in the country, will serve as the facilitator for the Steubenville training.

Paterra emphasized the program is not just for the classroom, noting Six Bricks opens the door to hands-on learning for people of all ages and abilities.

SYCAMORE BEGINS PILOT PROGRAM IN U.S. — The pilot program for Six Bricks involved members of the Sycamore Stars program and at the Sycamore Youth Center, including adult training. Sycamore has become the first certified educator training site in the country. Students taking part in the pilot program learned through the bricks matters such as fractions and decimals.

Educators, therapists, healthcare workers and youth leaders can all use these strategies with learners, who can range in age from 1 to 101.

Through the partnership with the Ohio Valley Youth Network, 12 participants are expected to complete their certified training during these January sessions, with plans for more advanced Level 4 training already in the works for a future date.

For those who are curious about how six simple bricks can change a learner’s perspective, free “taster” sessions are available.

Whether you are a parent, a teacher, or a community leader, the Sycamore Youth Center invites you to see what all the excitement is about.

For information or to register, contact Clum at (626) 905-0712 or send an e-mail to hello@sixbricksusa.org.
