Extra Effort: Stark County shot putter earning national recognition for Future Farmers of America
'Since fifth grade, my mom and my dad have pushed me towards it to be the best shot put thrower that I can be. I just fell in love with the sport and I would continue to be better,' Stotler said.
Chelsea's mom was a star thrower in her own right before she enlisted in the Army.
'My mom threw collegiately for two years before she enlisted in the military. It's super exciting to watch them watch me succeed,' she said.
Having a military parent meant Chelsey was raised to be a leader. She's the Stark County Future Farmers of America president. One of her research projects earned Chelsey second place in a national competition.
I worked with probiotics and Chobani Greek yogurt, and I freeze dried it to see if the fat content would affect it. And I found that the fat content did not affect it. Basically, I found somebody like Secret Recipe for their probiotic strains. I did email them and they promised me coupons. I have not seen the coupons yet.

As her senior year, wraps up, Chelsey has one more project for competition, and wants to thank her parents for the character they instilled in her.
I partnered with Southern Illinois University at Carbondale to work with their patented RHD on soybeans as a bio stimulant. It increase their yield and increased their height, basically how they photosynthesize. Those values have still stayed with me. Direct service, it's how I am and what I do.

Rookie locks in spot with Ravens but wants more than special teams duty
Ravens rookie LaJohntay Wester may have locked in a special teams role, but his ambitions extend beyond special teams. #Ravens OC Todd Monken foresees a larger role for rookie WR/PR LaJohntay Wester on offense:'I think down the road, this year and moving forward, he's going to be a heck of a weapon. … He kind of gives us another novelty for Zay Flowers.' In the end, it won't count. LaJohntay Wester's magical punt return during the Baltimore Ravens' first preseason game sent shockwaves through M&T Bank Stadium. It won't be tallied in his career highlights, nor will the win he helped produce be logged on the season's ledger. Who are we kidding, though? We all felt a slight adrenaline rush as it became certain he was in the clear and no one was catching him from behind. The rookie described it as 'build-up' and 'emotion' pouring over. A sixth-round pick during the most recent NFL Draft, there's just something about this guy. No one dedicates an enormous amount of time discussing this, but landing him that late in the selection meeting feels like a steal. Ravens offensive coordinator raved about him recently. The initial 53-man roster hasn't been released yet, but if we were to read between the lines, we'd assume Wester has locked up the returner role with additional duties to be named later. Again, we're going to assume Wester has ended Baltimore's search for a punt returner. Might he provide a Swiss-Army knife of sorts to the offensive attack? That remains to be seen. Wester appeared in 58 games at the collegiate level, including four seasons with the Florida Atlantic Owls and his most recent with the Colorado Buffaloes, produced 326 receptions, 3,634 yards receiving, and 31 receiving touchdowns. He also racked up another 213 yards and a pair of TDs on 37 carries. There's some potential there. We'll see if the Ravens can find unique ways to deploy him this season.

2025 Army Football Predictions: Black Knights Ranked 61st in RJ Young's Ultimate 136
College Football 2025 Army Football Predictions: Black Knights Ranked 61st in RJ Young's Ultimate 136 Updated Aug. 10, 2025 9:17 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link This isn't your average college football ranking. My Ultimate 136 is a set of rankings that is fluid, but it's my job to look ahead and make a claim for all FBS teams based on what I know and why I know it. Here are the three pressing questions I started by asking when putting together this list: Who do I think is good? Why do I think they're good? What are the chances they will finish above or below my expectations? Here is a look at where Army lands in my Ultimate 136. Army ranking: 61 Last year's ranking: 101 Top player: RB Hayden Reed: Has rushed for 600 yards and 5 TDs in three seasons at Army; averaged over 5 yards per rush in two of those seasons. [Army's 2025 schedule] RJ's take: Like Navy, when the Black Knights have a star at QB, those caissons go rolling along. With Dewayne Coleman at QB, Army has a wagon driver with enough artillery to make it look like it did in 2024 again — or so it hopes. ADVERTISEMENT Slept backs Noah Short and Hayden Reed are dependable with a combined 157 touches for 1,157 yards. Defensively, Andon Thomas and Casey Larkin will anchor the defense after combining for 10 tackles for loss and six interceptions. Mark eight wins down for Jeff Monken this year and every year. But if Army runs through Kansas State in Manhattan in Week 3, you best mark them for the College Football Playoff selection committee too. [Check out RJ Young's Ultimate 136 College Football Rankings here] Army Win Total Odds: Over 7.5 (-102) Under 7.5 (-120) Have an issue with my rankings?

Buffalo Bills sign former Army captain
Buffalo Bills sign former Army captain originally appeared on The Sporting News The Buffalo Bills made a somewhat surprising roster move when they released linebacker Baylon Spector, who had been with the team since being drafted in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft. On top of that move, they have now brought in another linebacker. Buffalo is signing former Army linebacker Jimmy Ciarlo. Ciarlo was with the Black Knights from 2020-23, appearing in 40 games and recording 119 tackles. He also had 10.5 tackles for loss in that span and was named a captain for the 2023 season. Ciarlo was signed by the Jets in 2024, but spent the entirety of the year on the injured reserve list after a preseason injury. The Bills' linebacker room is very deep, with Matt Milano and Terrel Bernard leading the way, as well as Dorian Williams and Joe Andreesen providing good depth behind them. Ciarlo will look to carve out a roster spot for himself in the preseason, which kicks off for the Bills on Saturday against the New York Giants.
