“I didn’t catch it.”
That was all Appalachian State wide receiver Brian Quick could say after dropping what could have been the game-tying touchdown pass Saturday against Montana.
Appalachian was at the UM three-yard line with six seconds left in the game after getting the ball back with 1:31 left.
Armanti Edwards’ first-and-goal pass was broken up in the end zone, and Quick dropped the second-and-goal pass as time expired, giving Montana a 24-17 victory.
“I congratulate the University of Montana for a great effort,” ASU head coach Jerry Moore said. “We played well and they played well when they had to play well. They are to be congratulated. We’ve got a very somber locker room right now as you might expect. We had numerous opportunities to score and didn’t.”

Recently re-elected Town Council Member Rennie W. Brantz took the oath of office in a ceremony Tuesday morning.
The ceremony, performed by Mayor Loretta Clawson, was scheduled to allow Brantz to be sworn in before the rest of the Town Council, as he will be on a trip to Israel during the regular town council meeting, Dec. 17.
Brantz will depart on Dec. 16 and return Dec. 27, according to the press release.
The trip is
sponsored by the Holocaust Education Foundation and will send Brantz,
an Appalachian State University history professor and Co-Director of
the Office of Judaic, Holocaust and Peace Studies, to the country to
meet with distinguished scholars and Holocaust experts.
While
abroad, he will visit cities such as Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa, as
well as making a special stop at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum, which
is a center for Holocaust documentation, research, education and
commemoration.

The Boone Fire Department responded to a fire at The Peddler Steakhouse located off U.S. Highway 321 at 1:28 p.m. Tuesday.
Captain Jimmy Isaacs said firefighters arrived on the scene after multiple 911 calls reported smoke coming from the building.
Isaacs said when officers arrived, the building had moderate smoke conditions in the front and back of the building.
The Peddler is closed during breakfast and lunch, so the building was empty and locked.

Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity has been suspended from Appalachian State University’s campus until Fall 2010, due to violations of the Interfraternity Council and Student Code of Conduct, Center for Student Involvement and Leadership Coordinator Michael J. Berger said.
Sigma Phi Epsilon did not register a social event with the Office of Greek Life, resulting in their suspension, Berger said. Furthermore, Boone Police Department officials said members of the fraternity assaulted three people at the event located at 721 Howard Street.
Sergeant Scott Mackler said members of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity invited three people, Tyler Smith, Blake Bearhalter and Adam Bearhalter, to their house Sept. 27.
The three were not Appalachian students.
“The people in the house started to assault [the three on the porch],” Mackler said.
Although
the individuals from the fraternity declined the prosecution, the
authorities know which house the attackers came from, Mackler said.
