Collegiate check-up
The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology football team is 3-2 through its first five games. The third win, a 40-14 thumping of Oberlin College Saturday, Sept. 25, came thanks in large part to Jay County graduate Cameron Hummel.
Hummel, a sophomore quarterback, tossed a pair of touchdown passes and led the Engineers in rushing as they racked up 361 yards of total offense.
The 2003 Jay County graduate tossed his first touchdown pass eight yards to Jared Moore less than five minutes into the contest, giving Rose-Hulman a 14-0 lead. He added a 23-yard strike for a touchdown to Jared Lemond late in the first half.
Hummel finished 9-of-14 through the air for 97 yards and nearly matched that total on the ground. He had 10 carries for 92 yards in the victory.
Rose-Hulman followed the win over Oberlin with a 35-14 defeat at the hands of ninth-ranked Trinity University. Hummel completed five passes for just 21 yards in the defeat, and picked up 15 yards on seven carries.
Hummel is second on the team for the season in rushing with 207 yards and a 6.1 yards per carry average. He has tossed for 321 yards and four touchdowns.
Sara Hough
The 2004 Jay County graduate is continuing to show that she was one of the best players in school history. She currently is not only her team’s defensive lead, but is one of the top defenders in the country.

She paced the Chargers in digs and kills in a victory Thursday over Grand Rapids Community College with 14 and nine respectively.
She had a team-leading 26 digs, and finished second on the squad with eight kills, in a loss to 14th-ranked Kalamazoo Valley Community College Tuesday.
Hough also had an excellent weekend of play as Ancilla went 4-2 at the Oakland Community College Invitational. She finished the weekend with 74 digs and 41 kills, good for first and second on the team respectively.
