“He talks to you. He listens to you. He understands you.”

The above is the tagline to the fascinating new horror film Rent-A-Pal, and even on the poster you can’t quite decide if that description is a selling point or a veiled threat.

Taking place in 1990 – still sociologically the 80s although technically the 90s – Rent-A-Pal is based on a fascinating era-specific oddity. “Rent-A-Friend: The Original Video Companion” was a VHS tape for lonely people, essentially a one-way conversation that the viewer could “interact” with. The Rent-A-Friend was Ben Hollis, who later went on to become an Emmy-winning Chicago TV personality. The videotape took advantage of a sad, but very viable human dilemma: Have no friends? What if you could rent one?

Of course the world has moved on and social media has made us more connected. Zoom and Facetime and the like have made “Rent-A-Friend”’s clunky interaction obsolete. Still, there is something charmingly seductive about this low-tech video buddy. And something just a bit creepy, too.

That’s the germ for writer/director Jon Stevenson’s thriller. What if your Rent-A-Pal could actually interact with you? What if his intentions are not as pure as his tan-and-blue khakis and sweater vest getup suggests? What if you are so desperately lonely and unstable that you are not even sure if your conversations with your new “pal” are real, or if they are all in your head?

Wow, that’s quite a meta concept. And in Rent-A-Pal, it mostly works very well.

The lonesome loser that is at the center of the action is David (Brian Landis Folkins), a desperately solitary man in Denver who lives with and cares for his mother (Kathleen Brady) who is suffering from dementia. Because he must be there for his mother fulltime, David can’t work. He has no friends.

He is so desperate for love that his one extravagance is a membership at Video Rendezvous – an old-school 90s dating service where you go in, make a video tape and hope to find your perfect match from dozens of other single people’s videos. However, like everything else in his life, the whole video dating scene is a complete disaster. After six months he hasn’t gotten a single nibble, however he is constantly paying for upgrades and services.

It’s at Video Rendezvous that he meets his “Rent-A-Pal,” a VHS tape stuck in a bargain bin of specialty videos. The Rent-A-Pal is Andy (Wil Wheaton of Stand By Me, Star Trek: The Next Generation and The Big Bang Theory), a pleasantly charming companion who interacts in obvious and not so obvious ways, until it starts to become more and more noticeable that he has some really dark shadings. Or is that all in David’s head?

David and Andy interact in subtle and funny ways, which is pretty amazing because Folkins and Wheaton never physically appear onscreen together. (Obviously, since Andy is just a person on a TV set.) You’re never quite sure why Andy becomes such an indispensable friend to him. Andy can be kind of a dick; clingy, jealous and he plays two very cruel pranks on David. And what’s the deal with that sweater vest?

However, this isn’t so much about Andy – well it is, and it isn’t – it’s more about the potential unraveling of David. His life, his desperation, his loneliness, his depression, his arrested development, his responsibility to his mother. When life finally deals him a good hand – he finally gets a bite on Video Rendezvous and Lisa (Amy Rutledge) may be the perfect woman for David – Andy doesn’t take it well at all.

It’s a terrific conflict. I wish I could say the resolution lived up to the idea, but the movie ends up spinning out a bit. Honestly, it gets a little more violent than necessary; I know this is a thriller but the psychological horror it displays is much more interesting than physical horror. It doesn’t by any means ruin the film, but I was hoping for a slightly better ending than the one we get.

By the way, they didn’t take selfies in 1990, but otherwise the film is spookily era-specific, and yet at the same time it is oddly timeless. Rent-A-Pal may not quite stick the landing, but the film has so many interesting ideas and quirky interactions that it is well worth the rental. Just don’t get Andy mad.

Panda thoughts

We’re now in a Quantum state with the characterization of Panda on We Bare Bears. You could very easily change it so that he’s learning about his sexuality or gender identity or something. This is the type pf character and time/situation that tends to attract people to lionize a character in a form of identity. Sometimes this can be good, after all I’m promoting the comic that basically recast and frames the Fryman family as a combination of both stand-in and actual trans Folk or as bisexual or homosexual. When a character ultimately speaks to a group reinterpreting them for that purpose is another form of enjoying art

However part and parcel of the entire slash phenomenon is in many ways a kind of sexism.As soon as someone is a man and they in any way leave the check list of traits that we very rigidly and commonly defined as heterosexual or masculine than they must be gay or queer in some way Now interpretation is always going to be differing line for some people. For me when a work has aspect that does it seem as if gay characters exist or even being considered. Because by defining that boundary you can indicate that you understand how each is supposed to work. We bare Bears is definitely a show where gay people could exist. We often see same sex pairings which may be friends or may actually be dates. Of course it’s set in San Francisco and I think everybody knows that bear is often slang for a type of gay man by now. OK KO is the same with two subtle but rather explicit male/male relationships (Lord Boxman and Professor Venomous, Nick Army and Joff, possibly Brandon and Real Magic Skeleton) As such though I’d have put money on Gar being gay he really seems into Carol/KO’s mom. No need to reinterpret characters being gay if speculation or be open to the idea. Panda in particular has always given off two contrary aspects which works for a comedy character. He’s incredibly thirsty for female companionship and romance and even has some retrograde and selfish ideas about what it is to be a woman and wanting to have one for his very own. . At the same time he often shows interest and is very very often put in scenarios in which he’s more or less easily inferred as being sexually gratifying or romantically pursued or entangled with a male character. At first this was Grizz later this was Charlie.

The overall idea of Charlie and Panda getting together as a couple definitely has some appeal. In the fact that a lot of the things that we associate with a romance, namely attaining emotional maturity, interaction, and learning to cross boundaries are very much a part of pandas experience when he’s interacting with Charlie. However at the exact same time I feel in order to make this subtext happen people are often ignoring the full context of it. Would we really be comfortable with the idea- if we’re all being gender-blind or not being limited by gender assumptions- with a romantic pursuer that constantly violate someone’s personal space keeps on insisting on intimate forms of address at the person’s constant denial who often never wants to be intimate or physically near the person? Panda has a lot of anxieties that Charlie attacks. This is fun to see because it creates drama and Conflict for us as well comedy. But does this necessarily mean that the best person for panda is Charlie?

In some ways I much prefer the idea that Charlie is certainly someone who’s helping Panda expand but he’s not necessarily going to be his romantic love interest. I like the idea ultimately that Panda’s Journey has been about becoming a full-fledged full rounded person. Someone who can appreciate a romantic partner and all that that entails as well as being seen fulfilling someone else’s needs. More importantly a lot of the Romantic elements that people Champion as being indicative of Panda’s deep down attraction to Charlie kind of bother me in the context in which they are presented in the show and then taken out in order to share among the fans

In Charlie’s Foot Panda does not want to be associated with Charlie at all. The only time he starts to reciprocate is when he’s been drugged out of his mind and been forced by his brothers in order to do so. It’s kind of off-putting because it’s implied that someone can be effectively harassing the person physically and emotionally they have to break down and eventually accept what’s happened. If Panda was a girl and Charlie was doing this I imagine that a great deal of fans would feel deeply uncomfortable by the subtext implied

I’m uncomfortable with the subtext implied by fan interpretations of Charlie effectively getting through to Panda as a romantic interest. Panda is straight. It’s as simple as that so far. Maybe he is bisexual or gay or maybe his sexuality is fluid. All of these are things that I can advocate and if they end up going there in the show I’m going to be interested. But I feel as if in fan presentation there’s this overall belief that there only way that Panda can actually Advance is if he’s ultimately going to turn out to be gay and especially gay for Charlie

This feels off-putting because Panda shows not just a disinterest in male contact but repulsion towards male contact outside of very specific areas. More importantly I think we kind of crossed this kind of subject matter several times in the show with the encounter of Tom and the number of times he’s had to interact with Charlie, Grizz, or be seen as “Cute.” He started to get out of his shell, yes, but it seems weird to say that the only way that he can ultimately grow up is if he decides to date dudes. He effectively ended up dating with Tom and that didn’t solve any of his problems his relationship with him in fact that highlighted a lot of the problems he already had

Effectively Charlie is fulfilling the role that often a love interest or pseudo love interest does in stories. He’s effectively affecting pandas character growth helping him become more empathic and see the world in a different light.

The one time he accepted Charlie’s advances sober was preceded by “ I’m just too tired to fight you off anymore.” Does that seem really all that romantic or respectful or a positive message? That said, the idea in fan circles is given a lot of good use. I love how one fan artist has had kids for them and their characterization

and they have this really great comic where they have both kids talk to buy both parents and they explain how they ultimately ended up together.

(reference)

That all said I often feel as if people re-characterize Charlie so he’s just a manic pixie dream girl there to enable male loves male scenarios. He’s missing a lot of his full characterization just so that that way he can be romantic love interest and given the changes that this demands of Panda’s core characterization, motives, goals, and progress that also bothers me I really do like some of the effort that’s been put into Panlie idea. So I’m in this weird place where I really like the fan idea but I’m not sure if I ever wanted to become Canon because it feels off to validate or say that that’s appropriate behavior. A lot of this came to head for me and some of the on Tumblr reaction to Summer Love. Panda’s actually been advancing in terms of his lovelorn character traits. For one he’s can actually seem to expand Beyond just Manga and Anime. If anything his relationship with Amanda felt more appropriate. Yes he did a lot of the Romantic pining and projecting but in some ways a lot of this was based on him putting in actual effort and other things. The fact that he’s able to finally get it and the conclusion of how things are supposed to be and appreciate that someone else has their own aims in life to live shows genuine maturity on his part. More importantly compared to most of his other attempts where it was like, “pretty girl I want to have her” here he saw someone whom he had potential connection with and connected her plights with his.

He often didn’t seem to want to do something for someone he acted to do something to get someone. By contrast and comparison hei returning of Amanda’s phone, while of course involving some selfishness, is ultimately about fulfilling her. it’s why he doesn’t try to push any further when he realizes that she’s going her separate way. Unlike the manga who he’s been imitating he actually doesn’t force her to stay or choose him. So overall this is just me thinking out loud about characterization and reception. What are your thoughts?

Robotics Trends in the Industry you must know - Towards Robotics

New Trends in Robotics and Controller Design

Industrial robots can not perform their application tasks without a controller. Controllers provide software that gives robots the knowledge to perform complex tasks and provides the robot with a way to communicate with the physical world. Developments in the device design promote collaborative robotics, where robots will be able to operate in close contact with humans. The proposed amendments to the robot safety standards guidelines for ANSI / RIA R15.06 reflect the movement towards collaborative robotics and require “robotification” by incorporating robotics in new applications.

I see a trend towards the robot controller is more of a controller of the whole manufacturing process. With increased processing power, integrators can add more items into the robot controller,” said Erik Carrier, Product Engineering Manager with Kawasaki Robotic (USA) Inc. (Wixom, Michigan).” Traditionally, a robot had one function or one program. Now, administrators can run multiple applications at the same time. ” “Integration enables robots to operate more easily, faster to meet the increasing demand for automation, and contributes to a further reduction in the cost of robotic systems compared to automated system processes.”

Dinsmoor sees this trend continuing. “We see this trend accelerating with a growing focus on robot software ease of use, increasing the robot’s ability to perform functions normally performed by external devices. We also see the daybreak of learning robots. These machines learn from experience in executing an application to optimize their performance so that production becomes faster, more accurate, and more flexible.”

So, in short, what all these experts from the industry are saying is that: Advancement in controllers will make the integration of robots to work together a lot easier. The ease in the integration will make the application of robots easier, resulting in more robust automation, also decreasing the cost of applying these automation solutions. In the future, the software used to control robots will become more comfortable to use, increasing robots’ ability to perform most of the functions usually performed by external devices.

More Power, Less Package

Controllers were downsized, a trend which robotics industry players expect to continue. “The controllers’ size is getting smaller, and in the next five years, I hope to see more of that trend. As with other electronic devices, due to consolidation, robot controllers will have fewer components inside, “said Joseph Campbell, Vice President, ABB Inc.’s (Auburn Hills, Michigan) Robot Products Group. “End-users can now mount or embed smaller controllers above a robot. They keep the footprint small and flexible, giving integration options where the controller is to be located. Campbell says. Likewise, James Shimano, Product Manager at Precise Automation Inc. (San Jose, California), predicts the continued shrinkage of robot controllers. “I see a continuous drive to shrink the controllers. In the past, the controller cabinets were large, bulky, and unwieldy that the robot needed to be harnessed. System integrators are required to find a place for the controller and its harnesses while keeping them safe too. Controller placement can be a problem in an industrial factory where large and hazardous objects are moving around. For the successful “robotification” of research laboratories and life science installations, Shimano notes smaller controllers are essential. “The trend towards smaller tabletop controllers and robots in pharmaceuticals, life sciences, labs, solar panel assembly, and semiconductors has grown in the last three years. In both their computing sections, integrated controllers are smaller, containing the processor and memory and the amplifiers. “Incorporating the amplifier and the controls into a tiny package inside the robot structure eliminates some extra cabinets while making controllers more compact, a necessity for tabletop robotics in the laboratory,” Shimano concludes. Miniaturization makes robotic safety easier in non-industrial applications, says Shimano. “Integrated controllers can create safer robots without safety shields for use in non-factory settings. Those controllers are more comfortable to use by people who are not engineers, assembly technicians, or scientists who want to use robotics collaboratively. Shrinking controllers are also in the minds of Nachi Robotic Systems Inc. (Novi, Michigan) president Michael Bomya. “The trend towards reducing the size of robot controllers will continue to the point where the controller’s integration into the robot arm will be simple and practical. The integration of the controller into the robot arm is a requirement for a humanoid robot.” The robot controllers will be small enough to be positioned within the manipulator to advance the mobile robots, Bomya says.

Collaborative Robotics

More powerful and small robot controllers facilitate “collaborative robotics,” allowing people and robots to work within a workspace in relatively close collaboration. “I see new platforms for controller enabling collaborative application. The robot is just one portion of the collaborative work cells, and other devices must facilitate it, “Carrier says. “Proposed revisions to the robot safety standard (R15.06) will help move the technology toward collaborative robots.” Robot manufacturers and integrators are both working towards collaborative robotics. Some robotic equipment is currently able to meet proposed revisions to the safety standard R15.06, says Charles Ridley, Material Handling Service Manager for PaR Systems Inc. (Shoreview, Minnesota). “Safety circuits have to be dual channeled and dually monitored to meet the new robot safety standard, with multiple processors controlling each safety circuit redundantly. The robot program limits the work envelope tracks the robot’s location and speed by dual processors. Ridley illustrates its point by citing an application for palletizing. “To pick up slip-sheets, the robot goes to a certain point within its work envelope. The safety inputs allow the operator to replenish them without stopping the robot when slip-sheets need replenishment. The robot continues to palletize, while safety inputs limit the robot ‘s ability to go where the operators are. “Ridley adds that controlling software recognizes when the palletizing work cell needs more slip-sheets and prevents the robot from moving into the area where an operator is inside the robot’s work envelope.

Jeff Fryman, the Robotic Industries Association ‘s Director of Standards Development (RIA, Ann Arbor, Michigan), takes a similar view to Ridley on the role of collaborative robotics. “During collaborative operations, the robot is in automatic mode, and the robot stops for cooperative service. Collaboration operation allows work cells to be designed without fixtures and simply drives the robot to a starting point. “The operator then commands the robot to perform a pre-programmed run. Fryman recalls a demonstration of a hand-guided collaborative operation during the March 2011 Automate trade show. “A simulation of a waterjet cutting work cell had been demonstrated at Automate 2011. A robot with 150 kg capacity stopped and waited for the operator to maneuver it inside the work cell. The operator would then exit the working space and return the robot to its fully automatic mode, where the robot would cut a pre-designed pattern without using fixtures, “said Fryman. “It is impressive to grab a robot by a joystick on the wrist plate and drive it around.” Continuing, Fryman says, “Collaborative robots can also assist the operator by doing the heavy lifting so the person can only focus on the thought processes without worrying about other works. Also, the controller designs have inbuilt safety-rated features that assure that robot will do exactly what it is told to do and stops on is own when it knows it did not.”

While the robot controller and its software make the work cell more predictable, human nature remains unpredictable. “The difficulty with the collaborative operation is that human operators do not always perform in a controlled or reliable fashion so that safeguarding could become a challenge. The revised safety standard will also require a risk assessment to address the potential hazards of some particular installation,” says Chris Anderson, The Welding Technology Leader with the Motoman Robotics Division of Yaskawa America Inc. Brandon Rohrer, Principal Member of the Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories (Albuquerque, New Mexico), agrees with Anderson’s assessment. “I am watching the trend of enabling robots to behave well in unpredictable, unexpected, and poorly modeled environments. Traditional assembly line robots work well as long as the lighting is just right, and everything coming down the conveyor belt is oriented the same way. If circumstances deviate too much from design conditions, the system chokes fast. New developments in controllers are pushing back those limits on how structured the environment must be.”

The notion of ridding work cells of hard stops intrigues John D’Silva, Marketing Manager with Siemens Industry Inc. (Norcross, Georgia). “The revised R15.06 robot safety standard could do away with hard stop requirements in new robots, with better control of restricted space. Collaborative robotics is a way of the future because both the robot and operator can work in harmony to increase production. The safety controller provides reliable safety during operation, setup, and commissioning phases of the work cell.” Both Fryman and D’Silva pointed out that proposed revisions to R15.06 relating to shield-free work cells will be applied to new robotic systems, and retrofitting current policies will not be an option for end-users.

Robotification

Controller advances will help lead the robotics into the latest applications. “Controller technology will continue to open new applications for robots, particularly in non-traditional areas such as people or custom machines, such as surface finishing, on-the-fly weight measurement, and precise assembly,” Dinsmoor. Likewise, John Boutsikaris, Senior Vice President of Adept Technology Inc. (Pleasanton, California), said: “Modern applications will continue to evolve with new gripper technologies and continuous performance improvements. The integration of sensory inputs, including sonar, scanning lasers, three-dimensional vision systems, and more, continues to broaden robotic applications into more versatile, interactive applications. When controllers become more efficient, they will be more able to handle other work cell equipment and facets, says Amy Peters, Rockwell Automation Inc.’s business planning manager (Milwaukee, Wisconsin). “End users want better interaction with the logic systems, integrated cinematics, and the ability to handle other elements of a production facility.”

Joe Campbell claims, “More smart controllers and improved safety circuits will allow robots to function closer to humans and open up many new applications. I see opportunities where multiple robots operate in a working cell in a very organized fashion.” Campbell also anticipates robots operating outdoors. “I see outside manufacturing and robots performing maintenance and repair of ship components onboard ships, also on oil rigs whose controllers can withstand the weather.” Greg Garmann, Motoman ‘s software, and control development chief, says, “Robot controllers have all the resources they need to leap into almost any new application. The only limitations are the creativity of programming engineers and the difficulty of the mission.

Dangerous and Hazardous Applications

Remote autonomous robots are witnessing several significant developments. One is that they are used in dangerous and dangerous areas and situations. RoboTex has produced robotics to keep law enforcement safe. Then, in 2018 the founder of Protolabs, a leader in rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing, and RoboTex used the Avatar lll law enforcement robot with a fully compatible open-source Robot Operating System (ROS). The joint venture brought the law enforcement robots versatile architecture into a lightweight and cost-effective, flexible manufacturing solution. This 4-wheel drive (4WD) rover has big tires so it can work well indoors and outdoors. Watch for skirts or coverings that limit ground clearance, or tires that could slip with heavy loads on inclines. This model can easily reach speeds of up to 8 mph and will be able to travel eight miles on one charge. This can carry up to 60 lb. (less because of its skid steering) then the 2WD rover. It is entirely ROS compliant. Encoder data, battery charging status, and engine temperature are all available via our ROS driver. Last but not least, it is so light a worker could get it.

“90% of all mobile robots are ROS-based / open source, and 100% of our robots are open source ROS-based. Users generally do not like being forced into a store, “says Nick Fragale, founder of Rover Robotics. “Furthermore, RoboTex already had many of the molds for injection molding parts and housings. Getting to market with metal sheeting could be easier and faster, but added weight can make a real difference in performance.” Clearpath Robotics, established in 2009, has manufactured autonomous mobile robots before Rover Robotics. Robots such as the Husky UGV can monitor construction sites autonomously, or collect data from hazardous areas for researchers. Robots like this provide more data while promoting safety and cost savings linked to having people in the field. Besides, large areas can be monitored with one robot, or fewer, than the multitude of sensors, batteries, and cables or wireless signals that would need to be manually placed around a site to gain similar data. The ability of mobile robots to roam autonomously continuously can gather many data points over time to cover an area that might be too large for wireless sensors. Additionally, in some applications, it is possible to have a real-time video where a remote pilot could take over the machine to inspect an area, inventory, or see what resources are on-site without leaving the office.

Highlights: Douglass downs Lafayette; Henry Clay gets first win; No. 1 Scott County falls to Ohio power

Frederick Douglass 29, Lafayette 14: A week after beating Tates Creek for the program’s first victory, the Frederick Douglass football team secured a signature win, knocking off Lafayette on the road.

Nate Gay’s 7-yard TD run late in the first quarter gave the Broncos a 15-7 lead, and they never looked back.

“This feels good, a lot of my kids on this team have never beat these guys so I’m just proud for them,” said Douglass Coach Brian Landis. “But we’ve got a long way to go. We had too many penalties … but we’ll get that cleaned up and we’ve got a chance to be pretty good.”

Aided by interceptions from Jaylin Bybee and Daiyann Perkins and a ruthless run defense, Douglass held the Generals to 282 yards of offense and 12 first downs. The Generals finished with just 76 yards on the ground. Their biggest play of the night was a 93-yard touchdown strike from Dekwan Edwards to Kuantaze Cooper as Lafayette trailed 29-7 with 6:34 left in the game.

“(The defense) played very well, I was happy with the way they responded,” Landis said. “After (Lafayette’s) first touchdown they didn’t get anything until that very last drive, that long bomb.”

Quarterback Montaveon Bean managed the game effectively for Douglass (2-1), completing 12 of 26 passes for 110 yards and avoiding an interception for the second week in a row while rushing for 63 yards, including a 35-yard touchdown that gave the Broncos the lead less than three minutes into the game.

Jefferson Harkless paced the Broncos’ ground game, rushing for 74 yards and a touchdown. Paul Dunbar transfer Gavin Bugg saw some action under center for Douglass as well, completing two passes, including a 44-yard touchdown to Micah Lowe for a 22-7 lead late in the second quarter.

Edwards, who starred at wide receiver last season, passed for 197 yards for Lafayette (1-3). Cooper caught two passes for 134 yards in the loss.

Henry Clay 48, Southwestern 16: Tyree Clarke had a monster night, rushing for 113 yards and three touchdowns and reeling in a 63-yard TD catch as the offense came alive in the second half to give the Blue Devils their first win of the season and the Warriors their first loss.

Clarke’s 1-yard plunge gave Henry Clay (1-3) a 6-0 lead heading into halftime. After the intermission, Zac Berezewitz’s bomb to Clarke kicked off a 28-point third quarter.

Michael McMullen had a pair of touchdown runs and Jordan Kimball returned an interception 48 yards for a score to cap the explosive quarter for the Blue Devils, who outrushed the Warriors 310 yards to 104.

Patric Edwards carried 16 times for 100 yards and a touchdown for Southwestern (3-1).

Tates Creek 37, Paul Dunbar 0: Teontè White celebrated his birthday in a big way on Friday night, rushing for 145 yards and three touchdowns in Tates Creek’s shutout of visiting Dunbar.

The Commodores (3-1) racked up 220 of their 287 yards on the ground.

White, who also intercepted a pass, had short TD runs in the first and second quarters, then broke loose for a 23-yard score in the final minute.

It was the second shutout of the season for Tates Creek’s defense, led by Cam Stewart’s 9 1/2 tackles. The Commodores defeated Henry Clay 48-0 in the season opener.

Paul Dunbar (0-3) has been held scoreless in all three of its games this season.

Moeller (Ohio) 38, Scott County 28: Cincinnati’s Archbishop Moeller took a 14-0 lead over host Scott County in the opening minutes, and the Cardinals couldn’t recover.

Scott County (3-1) lost fumbles on each of its first two possessions, the first on the Moeller 35-yard line and the second near the Moeller goal line. The Crusaders also converted a seven-play, 99-yard drive late in the first half to take a 24-7 lead.

The Cards cut the Moeller lead to 24-14 with Josh Davis’ 52-yard touchdown pass to Glenn Covington in the final minute of the first half, but the Crusaders opened the third quarter with an 11-play, 82-yard drive, and Scott County never got the scoring margin within single digits in the second half.

Senior running back Brice Fryman led the Cards with 16 carries for 187 yards. Covington had nine catches for 149 yards and two touchdowns.

Four-star UK commitment Brenden Bates of Moeller had two receptions for 35 yards and was targeted just three times, though he played a majority of the offensive snaps and was often used as a blocker. Bates will play tight end for the Wildcats next season.

Scott County opened the season with victories over North Bullitt, Lafayette and Highlands.

Moeller was coming off of a 38-30 loss at Trinity last weekend.

Madison Central 37, Madison Southern 13: Madison Central (2-2) rolled up 366 yards on the ground against its county rival thanks to two 100-yard rushers.

Gavin Hulberg had 148 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown run, on 16 carries, and Ethan Hahn added 102 yards on just five carries. Hahn had TD runs of 31 and 42 yards.

The longest score of the day, however, came on a trick play by Madison Southern (2-2) when Tobias Storm connected with fellow receiver Hunter Richardson on an 83-yard touchdown pass.

Madison Southern’s Nathaniel Eads led all players with 12 tackles. He also forced a fumble and had the game’s only interception.

Ryle 49, Highlands 27: Senior Jake Chisholm was a one-man wrecking crew on Friday, accounting for more than 300 yards of offense and five touchdowns as the Raiders overwhelmed the Bluebirds for their third win in a row.

Chisholm opened the scoring with a 27-yard touchdown run and added a pair of 2-yard TD plunges as Ryle (3-1) built a 28-14 halftime lead. He added touchdown runs of 15 and 7 yards in the second half. Chisholm carried 26 times for 281 yards and caught three passes for 47 yards. His huge night overshadowed a great performance by Raiders quarterback Easton Pilyer, who rushed for 142 yards on 10 carries and completed 12 of 16 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown.

Quarterback Carl Schoellman kept Highlands (2-2) in the game. His 20-yard touchdown pass to Jared Wogan drew the Bluebirds within 28-20 in the third quarter, but Ryle outscored the visitors 21-7 down the stretch. Schoellman completed 34 of 49 passes for 362 yards and four touchdowns as he leaned on senior receivers Wogan and Nick Veneman. Wogan caught nine passes for 126 yards and two touchdowns while Veneman hauled in 14 catches for 155 yards and a pair of scores.

Collins 28, Oldham County 21: Quarterback J.R. Lucas used his arm and his legs to lead the Titans past the host Colonels. Lucas rushed for 240 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries and completed 13 of 25 passes for 221 yards and a 19-yard touchdown to Nikos Klenakis.

Collins (3-1) put up 507 yards of total offense while holding Oldham County (1-2) to 255.

Anderson County 20, Valley 0: Blake Franklin rushed for 213 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries to power host Anderson County (3-1) past Valley (0-4).
