Warrior girls basketball team mem-bers (7-5) swept the Roosevelt Rough Riders at all levels Friday at WHS,

including a 1-point win by the JV. The varsity won 58-49, as junior Sydney

Arrington led the girls with 19 points. Junior Anna Goodhope was close behind with 17.

Arrington said she was satisfied. “We had a great week of practice last week,”

Arrington said. “The game demonstrated how well we can play as a team, and how defense wins games.”

In sub-varsity action, the JV won 45-44, the sophomores dominated 58-22, the freshman A Team won 62-22 and the B Team won 51-21.

The Warriors will now travel to Brandon Valley tonight to take on the Lynx (6-7) in a District 2AA preview that could have post-season seeding implications.

Goodhope feels the team is well prepared. “We’ve been preparing for tonight,”

Goodhope said. “We just need to stay focused until the end.”

The theme for tonight’s game is camouflage.

By Andy HeckLast month four WHS stu-

dents earned honors in the annual Augustana High School Art Show held at the Eide/Dalrymple Gallery and Center for Visual Arts on the campus of Augustana College in Sioux Falls.

The show, which included a public display of the works, began Jan. 7 and cumulated in a reception Jan. 23.

The competition is open to high school students from across the region. Students can enter submis-

sions in many media forms, including ceramics, photography, painting and prints.

At the event, senior Coryn Johnson took third place with her piece “Natalie,” a portrait painted in acrylic of her younger sister.

“(The piece) was based off a photo I took of my sister a few years ago,” Johnson said. “I painted it in a slight-ly different style than what I normally

do, and the new medium paid off.”

Other WHS students who received honorable mentions include “Still-life with Sock Monkey,” a charcoal drawing by senior Hannah Wendt, “Serendipity,” a photograph by senior

Jonnie Storm and “I Was Sick,” a mixed media of clay and acrylic by senior Nicole Mashek.

Much hard work went into each piece that was honored, art teacher Matt Schuldt said.

“The students have been working very hard this year and have been dili-gent,” Schuldt said. “The art depart-ment is very pleased and proud of all the participants who entered their pieces into the show.”

Students interested in seeing more art created by high school students should plan on attending the High School Regional Art Show, which will be held at WHS this year. Works will de displayed on April 17 from 3:05-8 p.m. and on April 18 from 9 a.m. to noon.

History.com (TNS)“It was already snow-

ing at Minneapolis, and the general forecast for the area along the intended route indicated deteriorating weather conditions,” wrote the Civil Aeronautics Board investigators six months after the crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “the Big Bopper” Richardson on Feb. 3, 1959.

“The ceiling and vis-ibility were lowering...and winds aloft were so high one could reasonably have expected to encounter adverse weather during the estimated two-hour flight.”

All of this information was available to 21-year-old pilot Roger Peterson, if only he had asked for it. Instead, he relied on an incomplete weather report and on the self-confidence of youth in making the decision to take off from Clear Lake, Iowa, shortly after midnight on Feb. 3, 1959. Untrained and uncertified in instrument-only flight, Peterson was flying into conditions that made visual navigation impossible.

“Considering all of these facts,” the inves-tigating authorities concluded, “the decision to go seems most impru-dent.”

The plane would crash within five minutes of takeoff, as the direct result of pilot error. Only the next morning, when Waylon Jennings learned what had happened hours earlier, would he recall his final, good-natured exchange with Buddy Holly. “Well,” said Holly when he learned of Jennings’ swap with the Big Bopper, “I hope your old bus freezes over.” Jennings’ response: “Well, I hope your plane crashes.”
