ball first and punted. However, a muffed punt from Rowan was recovered by the Captains and put them at the Rowan seven yard line. On the very next play, sophomore quarterback Connor Barry found junior wide receiver Trey Hayes to give the Captains the lead. On the next possession, the Captains continued to capitalize on miscues made by Rowan. While Rowan was able to drive the football down to the goal line, they were unable to score as a fumble by sophomore running back Nunes Bukula IV was recovered by the
Captains deep in their own territory. With the Captains offense working from their own end zone, they embarked on a lengthy drive. Back to back first downs from junior running back Gunner White and junior wide receiver Colin Hart put the Captains in better field position. The passing game worked smoothly as three consecutive completions made from Barry to Hart, White, and sophomore tight end Jayson Viernes put the Captains at the Rowan goal line. kicker Maxx Lawton made a 23 yard field goal.

Christopher Newport University hosted the Next Generation Storytellers (NGS) Film Festival this past weekend in the Ferguson Center of the Arts. NGS was founded by American actors Trent Garrett and Jacob Young, who aimed to create a program that would allow students in underserved communities an opportunity to experience the Hollywood magic of the film industry. “Our goal at Next Generation storytellers is simple, but it’s powerful. To help young people tell their stories, especially those who are underrepresented in the entertainment industry,” Young said. The premiere was held in Peebles Theatre on Oct. 18 which showcased 11 student-lead films from 13 high schools in Hampton Roads and Charleston, South Carolina. On Oct. 19, a matinee showcasing the 11 films and award ceremony was held. The ceremony included presenting one particular NGS junior/senior a $16,000 scholarship to CNU if they choose to attend. On Oct. 20, there was one final screening of the films to the general public. (Story continued in A & E p. 4)
