mission in Dublin, Ireland. He enrolled at Idaho State University when his mission concluded in 2004 but was shipped off to Iraq before the end of his first semester. Richins was a specialist for an artillery unit based in Kirkuk. He grew so accustomed to late night mortar fire hitting his base that he’d roll over in his bed and go back to sleep. He remembers soldiers screaming for medics after being hit by explosives. To cope with the constant threat of attack, he and other soldiers thought to themselves, “If it’s my day, it’s my day.” Ten years later, Richins — never one to open up — tries not to think about the bad experiences. A common reaction to war trauma is avoiding the mere thought of stressful events, according to the U.S. Department of Vet- erans Affairs. The VA says avoidance should not be the main way veteran cope (http://tinyurl.com/ pz9j5qk). Richins’ family and friends noticed remnants of Iraq when he returned to Idaho. Along with loud, unanticipated noises, he hated crowded areas. He warned people not to unexpectedly tap him on the shoulder. He had road rage. He ran stop signs. He veered toward the middle of the street (in Iraq, U.S. convoys drove in the middle of roads because improvised explo- sive devices, or IEDs, were most commonly located on the edges). For most PTSD symp- toms, Richins’ family and friends could only guess what caused them. Asking didn’t help, either. “He just won’t tell us,” says Hobson, Shelley’s current head football coach and Richins’ room- mate at ISU. Richins — a stout 5-foot-9 who “carries himself like a sergeant,” according to Dwight — will gladly discuss the excited Iraqi voters or the Iraqi children asking him for pencils and lollipops. Early in his tour, Allyson sent her son the email address belonging to Sammy Mecham (Allyson and Mecham’s mom were friends). By the end of Richins’ tour, he and Mecham emailed and talked on the phone multiple times a week. Six months after Richins returned home, the two got married. Mecham (who took Richins’ last name) was crucial to Richins’ post-war recovery, he says. But even she has been shielded from his negative memories of Iraq. “I’d hope he’d feel com- fortable to open up and talk to somebody,” Allyson says. “But if it’s something that bothers him to talk about, then I wouldn’t expect him to do that.” If Richins wants to discuss a tough war experi- ence, he’ll go to the people who understand it best: the soldiers he fought with. “I sometimes feel like we know each other better than our wives or our fam- ilies,” Richins says of his fellow soldiers. A couple of years ago, the Army reactivated Richins, but he wasn’t deployed to the Middle East, unlike several of his Army friends. This angered him for nearly 18 months. “I felt relieved for my family that I didn’t have to go,” Richins says. “But at the same time they (his Army friends) are also my family.” Richins believes going back to war could affect his family in a positive way, even though they dread the possibility. “As long as my family can continue to go to school, church, the grocery store and not feel a threat,” Richins says, “then I’m happy fighting over there.” There’s a chance Richins will be deployed in the near future. Is asking the answer? Richins says every veteran handles life after war differently. Dwight, who was an Army logistics officer in Afghanistan from 2010 to 2011, agrees. “Some veterans like to talk about (war) but don’t ever get asked. Some people are asked and don’t like to talk about it,” Dwight says. “It’s a difficult thing to know what to ask. Then you don’t ask, and it seems like you don’t care.” Richins’ family and friends don’t feel the need to probe, but they don’t want him to bottle his emotions. Those closest to Richins have dealt with a nearly impossible dilemma: should they ask more ques- tions, or should they let Richins decide if and when to open up? Either way, his silence will likely continue. “The experiences we (soldiers) had can’t be shared with anyone else,” Richins says. “I can tell people about them, but no one truly understands unless they’ve been there and experienced it.” next point to make it 25-24, but the Tigers got the next two points to stay alive. The Bees then broke a 27-27 tie to win 29-27. “We had big leads then we’d squander it away,” McMurtrey said. “We spent a lot of effort and emotion in that game.” Keck had 53 kills, 27 digs and three aces in Saturday’s games while Halle Hess had 31 kills, 16 digs and five aces. Kiley McMurtrey had 27 digs and five aces, Payton Larsen had six aces and 33 assists and Cortney McDonald had 40 assists. Idaho Falls coach Wendy Johnson praised the Tigers for battling back several times, especially from the 24-18 second set deficit. “I have to hand it to them,” Johnson said. “They did what I asked them to do during that timeout. They dug in.” Idaho Falls won its pool Friday that consisted of Rocky Mountain, Pocatello and Skyview. The Tigers played Rocky Mountain and Fruitland early Saturday. Johnson came away impressed with the Fruit- land Grizzlies, who beat Vallivue in two sets and fell to Century in a three-set semifinal. The Grizzlies were the lone 3A team in the gold bracket. “They’re a legit team,” Johnson said. “They’re ath- letic.” Taylor had 64 kills, six blocks, four aces and 40 digs for I.F. in the two-day tournament while Taylor Sutton had 28 kills, nine blocks and four digs. Kaydre Thompson had 26 kills and 10 blocks and Bailee Mills had 28 kills, 33 digs and two blocks. Johnson said the experi- ence from the tournament will only help the Tigers. “In the long run, that’s what’s gonna pay off for us,” Johnson said. “I’m pleased with how the girls played. They gave it their heart and soul.” score didn’t budge in the the final 3:29. The homecoming and Sacramento State droughts were finally doused. In what could become his best season as Idaho State’s head coach, Mike Kramer got one of his biggest wins in the orange and black. “Look at us. We just beat Sac State for home- coming,” Idaho State line- backer Mitch Beckstead said. “This victory couldn’t feel any better.” Idaho State got to first down and goal on each of its first two drives but came away with no touchdowns. The first drive resulted in a field goal. The second drive, following a Hornet fumble, resulted in an interception from Justin Arias on third and goal from the 3. “We felt like we could throw the ball down the field and run the football,” Bengals’ offensive coor- dinator Don Bailey said. “That just made us say, ‘Ok, now we just have to be more consistent within the 10 yard-line.’ ” The interception sparked a 14-play drive for the Hornets, who took a 7-3 lead after a 14-yard pass from Garrett Safron to DeAndre Clark. The Bengals drove down the field on their next drive, setting up a first and goal from the 9. Arias found KW Williams for 7 yards. Then Arias threw incomplete. Finney rushed for 1 yard on the next play, setting up fourth and goal from the 1 … or not. The referees determined it was third down, despite some justi- fied complaining by several Sacramento State coaches. Finney ran it in on the next play, giving Idaho State a 10-7 lead. “I’m just glad we scored a touchdown,” Kramer said. Ten plays into the Bengals’ next drive, Arias (30 for 42, 413 yards, two touchdowns) threw a back- wards pass to Madison Mangum, who threw a strike to a wide open Wil- liams for a 35-yard touch- down. The Bengals led 24-17 at halftime. Safron, who completed his first 18 passes, made a costly mistake on the first offensive play of the second half. The senior quarter- back inexplicably threw to an area occupied by two Bengals defenders. One of them, Cody Sorenson, intercepted the pass and returned it to the Hornets’ 3 yard-line. “It was huge,” Idaho State defensive coordinator Spencer Toone said. “He did everything right (on the interception). Cody’s a great player.” Finney (26 carries, 138 yards, three TDs) punched it in on the next play, giving the Bengals a 30-17 lead. Magnum’s first touch- down came the following quarter on an acrobatic catch in the back left corner of the end zone. The soph- omore wide receiver ha career-high 174 yards o eight catches. “He’s a guy who too his maturity and his oppor tunity and combined the to become a really goo player,” Kramer said o Mangum. Before Saturday Kramer had two confer ence wins (both agains Northern Colorado) sinc becoming Idaho State’ coach in 2011. As big a this win is, Kramer wasn’ willing to call it his best. “My best win is yet t come,” Kramer said.

Area runners shine at Bob Firman Invitational n Shelley teams dominate races while I.F. girls place high as well POST REGISTER LOCAL ROUNDUP ISU From Page C1 CHANGING From Page C1 cusp of another Ryder Cup ictory. That was the same score two years ago, except that Europe was in dire need of a comeback. Now it is worried about complacency. “This job is far from fin- ished,” Europe captain Paul McGinley said. “We’re in great position, but we’ve got a lot of work to do tomorrow.” U.S. captain Tom atson walked away with a lot of questions he couldn’t answer. He was criticized for playing Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley a second time Friday, and it was even more peculiar when he didn’t they them at all Saturday. It was the first time Mickelson sat out an entire day in his two decades playing the Ryder Cup. Instead, Watson sent out Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker for a fourth straight match, even though their previous games all went to the 18th hole and ended in a draw. The fatigue was evident, particularly with Walker, who shanked a shot from the third fairway. “It may have been a mistake that I put Jimmy and Rickie out for four matches,” Watson said. “I thought they could handle it.” RYDER From Page C1 From Page C1 WAR Photo courtesy of Tyler Richins Sugar-Salem High School football coach Tyler Richins was a specialist for an artillery unit based in Kirkuk, Iraq.
