Preseason football: Brandon 35, Blake 6

BRANDON — Brandon picked up right where it left off last year, hammering visiting Blake 35-6 in the preseason opener Friday night.
Brandon, which finished 9-2 and reached the playoffs for the first time since 2007 last season, dominated both sides of the ball and led at one point 29-0 before a number of starters exited.
Brandon's suffocating defense set the tone for the evening, registering a safety on Blake's first possession. On the night, the Eagles' defense recorded six sacks and picked off a pair off passes.
The Eagles' ground game punished the Blake front seven.
Tyrell Garner rushed for a pair of scores and D'andre Franklin added another from 26 yards out. The Eagles only threw a handful of times, but were efficient when they did.
Quarterback Alan Knippel tossed a pair of TDs, including a juggling catch in the back corner of the end zone to Jalen Stringfellow from 25 yards out. The senior signal caller also hooked up with Will Plachta for a 26-yard TD.

Bernanke?s speech in one word cloud
Ben Bernanke?s full speech is here. Reuters had the bright idea to make a word cloud:
As Matt Yglesias writes, ?This doesn?t�look like�a speech about the crisis of joblessness plaguing America.? And indeed it wasn?t. Rather, it was a speech about how the Federal Reserve isn?t, as of this moment, going to do anything dramatic to combat the crisis of joblessness plaguing America. Nuts.?

Three Northeast Ohio athletes competing in track and field World Championships in South Korea
Jessica Beard of Euclid, Crestwood grad Bridget Franek and Firestone alum LaShaute'a Moore are in South Korea for the IAAF World Championships.
View full sizeJessica Beard, left, of Euclid, will compete in the track and field World Championships.NCAA track athletes often struggle at the World Championships because they train to peak twice, if not three times, during the season -- at the NCAA finals, USA Nationals and, if they make it that far, the World Championships.
Beard, a 22-year-old from Euclid, said she has had a good plan in place all year. Beard is entered in the 400 meters and 4x400 relay at the IAAF World Championships, which began Friday and conclude Sept. 4 in Daegu, South Korea.
Beard is one of three local women competing. Hiram native and Crestwood High grad Bridget Franek is in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, and Akron native and Firestone alum LaShaute'a Moore is part of the U.S. 4x100-relay pool.
Franek's first heat was late Friday, and she finished seventh in 9:43.09, failing to advance. and Beard is scheduled to run her 400 prelim at 7:14 a.m. this morning. The 4x400 and 4x100 are next weekend. Got to iaaf.org for results.
Beard said her coaches at Texas A&M kept her long-term goals in mind during her final college season, which she capped by winning the 400 and running on the winning 4x100 and 4x400, while leading the Aggies to the NCAA championship. She is a finalist for The Bowerman, which is track's Heisman Trophy.
"My coaches knew this was a World Championship year and, compared to other years, I ran a lot less 400s and a lot less 4x400s," said Beard, who has turned professional and signed with adidas.
In 2009, Beard's sophomore year, she ran a full college schedule, then was in the 4x400-relay pool at worlds. She ran a prelim in Berlin, but was not in the final. She won a gold medal anyway.
"My sophomore year, that was a long college season," she said. "Now, I'm two years older and I feel like I'm in a good position."
Beard hasn't bettered her personal record (50.59) since 2009, but she ran a 49.1 split in the 4x400 at the NCAA finals. "Even though I haven't run 49 or 50 in the open [400], I can still split it," she said.
Franek, an NCAA champ at Penn State last year, is completing her first year as a professional. Her PR is 9:32 and she has been in the high 9:30s this summer. The top women are under 9:20.
"My focus this year was to make that transition [to pro track] as smooth and seamless as possible to set me up for next year [the 2012 Olympics]," Franek said in an email from London, where she trained this month. "Obviously, you always want to PR, but right now, all things considered, consistently running these times is fine. In 2012, I feel like I will have a much better idea of what I am capable of as a professional."
Moore, 28, recently ran a faster time in the 200 than she did in the 2004 Olympic trials. She was fourth at U.S. Nationals in the 100 and sixth in the 200. She last ran at worlds in 2007 and placed seventh in the 200.
Other Ohioans competing in Daegu are high jumper Erik Kynard of Toledo, steeplechaser Daniel Huling of Columbus and 2008 Olympic pentathlon silver medalist Hyleas Fountain of Kettering.
