He atoned for a fumble on Liberty’s second play from scrimmage that put the Patriots behind the eight-ball as Whitmer had it at Liberty’s 36.
Fortunately for the Patriots, Troy Oehler stepped in front of a Riley Keller pass in the end zone to end Whitmer’s scoring threat.
Okuley broke free and picked up 37 yards on a scramble to get the Patriots out of a 3rd-and-24 situation. Webb broke loose down the left sideline for 42 yards on the next play.
The two long runs set up Jacob Sincek’s 6-yard touchdown reception from Okuley to give the Patriots a 14-0 lead with 0:31 left in the first quarter.
Okuley’s 26-yard scramble in the second quarter set up Webb’s second touchdown – a 6-yard run up the gut — and Liberty had a 21-0 lead with 4:24 left in the half.
Whitmer finally got moving on offense late in the first half. Keller found Patrick Mappe for a 28-yard touchdown on a fly route on fourth down to get the Panthers (12-1) on the board with 0:54 left in the half.
Ben Roderick used his size to win a jump ball on a 52-yard touchdown reception on an Okuley pass off a flea-flicker with 0:46 left in the third to push the lead to 28-7.
Okuley added his third touchdown pass on a 15-yard completion to Mitchell Kershner to cap the scoring.
All told, Okuley threw for 142 yards, going 10-for-15. He added 92 yards rushing on 13 carries. Roderick was his top target, catching four passes for 96 yards.
The Patriot defense held Whitmer to 139 total yards and just 10 yards on the ground on 29 attempts. Lucas Campbell had an interception to end a Whitmer drive late in the fourth.
Riley Keller went 13-for-25 for 129 yards through the air for the Panthers. Patrick Mappe caught six passes to lead all receivers and finished with 80 yards.
“Some of the things that they’re good at is stuff that we take pride in stopping. We executed well,” senior linebacker Edward Warinner said.
Liberty will play Mentor, a 23-21 winner over St. Ignatius, in next Friday’s state semifinal at a site to be determined.

NEw YoRK Omnicom Group’s OMD scored an estimated $150 million in combined business from tax services firm H&R Block and nascent TV network The CW, the clients confirmed. Both accounts were awarded last Friday. Block, with estimated annual ad spending of $100 million, has selected OMD to handle media planning and buying after a review. IPG’s Campbell Mithun successfully defended creative duties after a review completed last month, but surrendered media chores. Separately, OMD won media duties on the CW network, which debuts this fall, combining select shows from The WB and UPN. Each network spent $25 million apiece on ads last year. (The combined CW is likely to spend at least $50 million in measured media, per sources.) The CW win puts OMD back in the network TV business after losing both ABC and HBO earlier this year.
NEW YORK IPG in the next few weeks will decide whether to merge or in some other way combine Draft and Foote Cone & Belding, IPG CEO Michael Roth told industry analysts last week. In his only public comments on the potential merger to date, Roth said FCB and Draft “could be doing even better with access and capabilities or geographic reach that the other would bring to the table.” He further described the shops’ offerings as “highly complementary,” adding that the “heads of both agencies came to us independently to surface the possibility of a closer working relationship.” That said, the prospect for client conflicts is the “most significant mitigating factor in whether we go forward or not,” Roth said. His remarks came during a conference call about IPG’s results for the first quarter.
NEW YORK Publicis USA has hired Mark Hider as its evp, director of engagement strategy, a new position. Hider, 52, was most recently CEO of London-based agency Imagination, but has been based in New York for the past five years as he set up that shop’s U.S. and Canadian operations. In his new role, which he begins today, he will work across various accounts and report to Publicis North America CEO Susan Gianinno.
NEW YORK The Progressive Corp. initially contacted approximately 15 agencies about its estimated $150-200 million creative account, which incumbent Doner in Southfield, Mich., is not defending, sources said. Those shops submitted basic credentials information in the form of a “fact sheet” that was due back by the end of last week, said sources. Based on the fact sheet information, the Mayfield Village, Ohio, client will issue an RFP to up to a dozen shops in the next week or so, according to sources. A decision is expected by September. New York consultancy Roth Associates is managing the search.
NEW YORK Shell’s Jiffy Lube last week launched a review of its creative account now at independent MMB in Boston. Billings are estimated at $25 million. MMB, which has handled the business since 2001, is defending, and the Houston-based client has hired New York consultancy Roth Associates to manage the search. Jiffy Lube’s current campaign features consumer testimonials and continues to use the tagline, “Well-oiled machine.” The client, which could not be reached, hopes to select an agency by August. Roth did not return calls.
NEW YORK Starcom has retained media chores on Miller Brewing’s U.S. ad account following a review, the client confirmed. The Publicis agency in Chicago overcame Aegis’ Carat in New York to win the business, per sources. Miller had cut WPP’s MindShare from its estimated $300 million media review after hearing presentations [Adweek Online, April 17]. The review was managed by Roth Associates in New York.
NEW YORK Questionnaires were due back last Thursday in Bridgestone Firestone’s review of its $25 million broadcast creative and media account, sources said. Among the shops returning it were WPP incumbents Grey and MediaCom, WPP’s Berlin Cameron United, Publicis’ Publicis and Saatchi & Saatchi, Omnicom’s DDB and Merkley + Partners, all in New York, Omnicom’s Martin/Williams in Minneapolis, Havas’ Arnold in Boston, Energy BBDO in Chicago, independent The Richards Group in Dallas, and WPP’s JWT in Atlanta, sources said. A cut to semifinalists is expected in early June and the client will hear final presentations in mid-July, followed by a decision shortly thereafter, said sources. Boston consultancy Pile + Co., which is managing the process, declined comment.
NEW YORK Electrolux is shifting U.S. creative and media duties on its major home appliances to the New York offices of Omnicom shops DDB and Prometheus, respectively. Previously, the business was at IPG’s’s Lowe in New York. The brands include Electrolux and Frigidaire and the shift takes effect June 1, according to a rep at Electrolux Major Appliances North America in Augusta, Ga. Major media spending on those appliances exceeded $7 million last year, per Nielsen Monitor-Plus. Lowe remains global lead agency on Electrolux, handling ad duties outside the U.S. Separately, Electrolux is “reviewing its agency options” on its namesake vacuum cleaner business in the U.S., another assignment at Lowe. DDB is not believed to be in line for that account. In a statement, the client said a new shop will be named soon. Electrolux vacuum cleaner spending was nearly $5 million last year, per Nielsen.

Defender Johnny Mullins is looking forward to playing regular first team football once more after his recent release from Luton Town.
The former Oxford United centre half saw his two year stay ended when his contract wasn’t renewed, and was quickly snapped up by League Two Cheltenham Town on a two-year deal.
I want to play football and if I wasn’t playing football then I would have probably been looking elsewhere.
On not being offered a new contract by Hatters boss Nathan Jones, Mullins said: “I hadn’t really spoken too much about it, I wasn’t too sure, you never know in football, you can never foresee too much.
“I wanted to play football to be honest, I was at some stage and then I wasn’t, so it would have been a difficult one had it (contract) been offered.
“But ultimately I want to play football and if I wasn’t playing football then I would have probably been looking elsewhere.
After making 29 appearances in his first season, Mullins went on to play another 22 games for Luton last term, although started just 18 times, as a number of niggling injuries hampered his time at Kenilworth Road.
He continued: “The first season, I started well and then picked up a really unusual injury. We got to the end of it, then this season I got going and there was a couple more, but that’s football I guess, it’s part and parcel of it.
When Mullins was called upon during November to January, he helped the side to six clean sheets, scoring the winner against Morecambe and also having the captain’s armband for their FA Cup clash at Newcastle United.
He said: “I really enjoyed it, I had a nice little run earlier in the season, but we had a lot of players in every position who could come in if you were out and really kick the team on.
“I think ultimately we achieved what we did because of that, so it was nice to come in for that period and have a good run, but football changes quick, good and bad, so you’ve just got to carry on.
“I enjoyed that (Morecambe winner) and I managed to get my head on a few.
Mullins was able to celebrate Town’s success on the pitch too, as he came on at Carlisle United in the final moments with Luton earning the 1-1 draw that ensured they went up.
“It was nice to be on there when it happened, the crowd came down and it was a real nice time to celebrate together.
“I won’t say it was a quiet journey home either as it wasn’t, but a real good journey home, certainly the best journey I’ve had back from Carlisle without a shadow of a doubt.
Mullins was enjoying his third promotion, having gone up with Rotherham and Oxford previously, and on achieving it once more, he added: “I’ve really enjoyed all the promotions, they don’t come along in football too often and you’re very lucky if they happen.
“There was no hidden bones about it, what we wanted to do, we set out our stall to do it and ultimately we did it.

Dubai: Gama Aviation received on Monday approval to build an $8 million (Dh29.37 million) aircraft maintenance hangar at Sharjah International Airport, a spokesperson for the London-listed business jet operator told Gulf News.
The hangar is part of a $15 million total investment at Sharjah International that saw Gama Aviation open an executive terminal at the airport in July 2014. Gama Aviation planned to open the heavy aircraft maintenance hangar in late 2015 but that was delayed when the Sharjah government requested a new airport masterplan last year.
“We’ve had a verbal confirmation of the location of the hangar,” a Gama Aviation spokesperson told Gulf News by phone on Monday.
Gama Aviation is still waiting on official, written confirmation from the airport for the hangar site.
On Sunday, Chief Executive Marwan Khalek told Gulf News that construction would take 9 to 12 months to complete once it can confirm the location of the hangar, which is at least a year behind schedule because of the delay.
The company’s ability to grow revenue in its Sharjah operations, which manages between “seven and eight” aircraft, has been restricted by the approval delay.
An aircraft maintenance hangar “would invariably attract more customers for our handling business,” Khalek said.
The site for the maintenance hangar is located in a separate area of the airport to Gama Aviation’s existing operations, which includes the executive terminal and a storage hangar. The spokesperson said on Monday these operations will eventually be moved to the new site.
This year, Gama Aviation expects to add three to four aircraft into its Sharjah-based managed fleet, which Khalek said on Sunday, is a “fairly modest” growth target.
He says the market remains flat, largely due to the regional economic impact of the low oil price.
Local shareholders Sharjah conglomerate Crescent Enterprises and Dubai buyout firm Growthgate Capital injected $7.65 million into the London-listed Gama Aviation for the project.
He calls for unity against Chinese rule before self-immolating.
A Tibetan monk in a remote region of China's Sichuan province set fire to himself before a large crowd on Tuesday, the 10th self-immolation protest against Chinese rule.
Dawa Tsering, 31, set himself alight during an annual ritual gathering at a monastery in the Kardze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture after calling on Tibetans to unite against Beijing's rule in Tibetan-majority areas, witnesses said.
"The monk self-immolated in the vicinity of the [Kardze] Monastery, at the monks' usual annual gathering, as the ritual dance was going on," a monk from Kardze (in Chinese, Ganzi) Monastery in southwestern China told RFA.
"Most of the witnesses were monks, and there weren't many laypeople there at the time," the monk said.
"He was shouting long live His Holiness the Dalai Lama," referring to Tibet's spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, who is living in exile in India.
Dawa Tsering was rushed to the Kardze People's Hospital in a monastery vehicle after the flames were extinguished by fellow monks. Several police officers stationed at the monastery followed the monks to the hospital, and reinforcements arrived later and cordoned off the area, sources said.
A second Kardze monk said the monk had refused any form of medical treatment.
"His head is badly burned, he cannot speak, and he is just lying there, staring, fully covered in bandages," the second monk said.
"His head, neck, nose, were all badly burned and the skin has peeled off. He refused any medication and told the monks to let him die."
Meanwhile, an exile Tibetan monk identified as Choegyal from a monastery in southern India said the clothes of some people close to Dawa Tsering, when he doused himself with petrol and set light to himself, had also caught fire.
"Before the self-immolation, the monk offered a [prayer] to the throne of revered Lhanda Lama, he then went to do a incense burning [offering], and put up prayer flags," Cheogyal said.
"He then doused himself with kerosene oil over his head; a few of the people standing near him had their clothes catch fire."
Choegyal said Dawa Tsering was taken back to Kardze Monastery after receiving bandages at the hospital.
"At the hospital, he was wrapped up, and was told that he may not survive, so the monks of Kardze Monastery brought him back to the monastery," he added.
Dawa Tsering, a native of nearby Yepa village, had been at Kardze Monastery for seven years prior to his self-immolation.
Kardze has been the scene of repeated Tibetan protests, both by individuals and by small groups, despite the threat of detentions and violent assaults against protesters by Chinese police.
On Aug. 15, Tsewang Norbu, a 29-year-old monk from Kardze's Nyitso Monastery, set fire to himself outside the Tawu county government offices after handing out leaflets calling for human rights for Tibetans and the return of the Dalai Lama.
Last week, a nun set herself ablaze and died in Ngaba (in Chinese, Aba) prefecture, marking the first female self-immolation case in recent memory among Tibetans resisting Chinese rule.
Tenzin Wamgmo, about 20 years old, called for freedom for Tibet and the return of the Dalai Lama, Tibet's spiritual leader living in exile in India, before succumbing to her burns.
Ten Tibetans, mostly monks from Sichuan's Ngaba prefecture, have self-immolated this year, and at least five have died, saying they wanted to sacrifice their lives to protest rule by Beijing and alleged human rights abuses by Chinese security forces.

In addition to building the car of the future and disrupting the age-old road system, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has also vowed to establish a colony on Mars as part of his SpaceX initiative – and it seems the company is gradually approaching its goal.
Earlier today, the visionary entrepreneur took to Instagram to share the very first image of the SpaceX spacesuit.
First picture of SpaceX spacesuit. More in days to follow. Worth noting that this actually works (not a mockup). Already tested to double vacuum pressure. Was incredibly hard to balance esthetics and function. Easy to do either separately.
Promising more photos and details in the days to come, Musk noted that the spacesuit shown in the picture is fully functional and has already successfully undergone testing in double-vacuum pressure.
The Tesla boss also took a moment to express his satisfaction with the final product, revealing that the purpose was to combine both “[a]esthetics and function,” which proved to be an “incredibly hard” task.
Musk fan boys and girls will probably recognize the suit very closely resembles the infamous leaked SpaceX designs from over a year ago. While many doubted the authenticity of the images back when they first surfaced on the internet, the new picture does add more credibility to them.
The image comes merely days after SpaceX successfully launched a rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral on August 14.
