New Chief Technology Officer hopes to bring new, familiar technology to the townshipBy Haley Dickey Editor-in-Chief

Day one: walk into class, sit at the desk, take out notebook and pen, listen to teacher lecture with only 30 seconds for the mile- long homework assignment. Day two: walk into class, sit at the desk, take out textbook and open to new chapter, complete 50 question study within the 50 minutes period in silence. Day three: walk into class, sit at the desk, watch a movie while filling out a study guide of 50 questions, even though the movie goes by too fast to write down the answer. The daily grind of the school day can get boring after eight to 12 years of school. The same thing every day can hinder the creativity of the students as well as teachers. But James Aldridge, the newly appointed Chief Technology Officer of Warren Township hopes to embrace technology in a way to emphasize the importance of education through creative learning techniques. Aldridge graduated from Beech Grove High School and attended Ball State University earning a bachelors degree in Science Computer Technology. He then went on

to the University of Indianapolis to earn his masters degree in business administration. A f ter working for t hree universities, he took on his newest challenge, working in a K-12 environment. “Something that is great about this position is that I get to impact a wide variety of students,” Aldridge said. “Creating an impact on students through instructional tech is something a lot of school districts can’t afford. I think that’s that really rewarding part of this job is really getting instructional technologies

into the schools.” Aldridge is hoping to impact students through technology that they are familiar with and use in their everyday life, like an Apple iPod Touch or a netbook as sources of attaining knowledge. By the end of the month, mobile carts will be installed in Lowell, Brookview and Lakeside. Each school will pilot the iPod Touch program in two classrooms. Thirty iPod Touches and a Macbook Pro will be included on the mobile cart. Applications from iTunes can be purchased and synced to the iPods. There are over 75,000 education applications offered by Apple for classroom use such as “Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader” and the students’ personal favorite “Brain Quest.” The inspiration for the iPod program came from Lowell Elementary fourth grade teacher Kyle Reeves. “Learning while engaging sensory details helps students stay more engaged, focused, and helps them retain what is being taught,” Reeves said. “The iPod Touch allows students to learn using sight, sound, and touch.” In order to test the effects of the iPod Touch program, the teachers will have to study the students in the learning environment and whether or not grades improve on iPod-learned materials. The iPod Touch program will require immense communication between teachers involved because if one application works for a classroom, the program can be tested in another class. “The iPod touch is also a piece of technology that students can relate to in the real world,” Reeves added. “By integrating the iPod into the classroom, I believe that students are learning the curriculum in a fun, and exciting way. At the same time, they are using technology that is

becoming a more prominent part of our society.” If the pilot program goes well throughout the elementary schools, the program will be integrated throughout the middle schools and high school as well. But the iPod Touch program is not the only thing to hit the technology world of Warren Township. New computers popped up all over the township over the summer. The township purchased 5,500. Also being added to the tech family will be nine more mobile carts. These mobile carts hold 35 laptops that can be used in any facility in the school, a hallway, the gym, the cafeteria even. The mobile carts not only provide an avenue to learning in any environment, but they are also substantially cutback on costs. At Best Buy a desktop computer costs $650, a netbook that has more capabilities and is more compact goes for around $450, which can be purchased from the grants given to the English and Math departments. The English department will be purchasing new ceiling projectors from the grants given by the technology department. Some classrooms have already started preparing for the new technology to arrive. Some classrooms now feature new projectors. Athough these projectors were given to the department through the book company that provides the textbooks. These projectors are known as “freebies” they do not always end up being free once they start to break down and need to be replaced. The problem with switching to laptops is that it will require the school to become a wireless network. And while that seems ideal the technology department will not rush going into a wireless system. Wireless communication is not secured like it should be for a high school environment and the administration needs to think about the safety of the student as well as the teachers. Another huge program coming to Warren is the Blackboard online program. This program will allow students to access classroom information at home from their computer. “Blackboard is a learning management system which provides an avenue for creating courses online for delivery of course materials, classroom materials, calendar, homework dates and being able to turn in homework electronically,” Aldridge said. “So it opens up the door for teachers and students. It provides access to course materials at home.” This program is a huge step in the learning process of students. When a student is absent they have the ability to go online to find the homework, class notes and syllabuses; the program has been used effectively in colleges too. This is the first program that has been created to be used primarily for students and teachers. Most programs involve

administrators, but Blackboard is a way of communication between teachers and students only. Online grading can make the grading process easier; the program will provide an organizational tool for teachers by condensing grading papers and carrying home large reports. Blackboard will be used on a teacher-by-teacher basis and should be pushed by students because teachers are not forced to use the program. The program already features 87 online courses and 550 active students engaging in the program. So imagine a new day of school. Arrive to class, sit down with an iPod touch, open the educational application that can help with English or math, go home and submit the homework online.

Warren battles Pandemic sweeping nationAs the Pandemic spreads Warriors need to know important facts and ways to prevent spreading

Myth busters

•Throw away used tissue right after use.•Wash hands often with soap and water. Scrub hands with soap and water for 20 seconds. Also try to wash hands right after sneezing or coughing.•Try to avoid close contact with sick people.•Avoid touching the eyes, nose or mouth (germs are spread this way).•Avoid shaking hands or hugging.•If sick, stay home and avoid contact with others.•Do not go to school or work until 24 hours after fever has broken.•Be sure to sanitize all household items: phones, doorknobs, and bathrooms.•Avoid anyone that is sick.•Do not put amy money towards the face to prevent spread of virus.

Provided by the Marion County Health Department

Myth: I can get the virus at social gathering and theme parks.

TRUE. It is more likely to get germs in large social gatherings. For example shaking someone’s hand and touching your mouth or nose, this is how germs are spread. Germs and viruses can live up to eight hours on a surface before dying. Flu viruses are spread through coughing and sneezing. (From www.USA.gov.)

Myth: You can get swine flu from eating or preparing pork.

FALSE! You cannot get H1N1 from eating pork. Eating properly handled and cooked pork products is safe. (From www.cdc.gov)

Myth: There is a risk of getting H1N1 from tap water and drinking water.

FALSE! Tap water that has been treated is not harmful and there are no cases of someone catching the virus from their tap water or bottled water.

Myth: A scientist created H1N1 in a lab.

FALSE! Virologist Adrian Gibbs hypothesized that H1N1 was accidentally made in a lab. While the scientist is credible and has 40 years of experience, this hypothesis is not true. Many scientists from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the World Organization for Animal Health and World Health Organization scientists debated the theory and said that the hypothesis did not “stand up to scrutiny” adding that “the evidence suggests this is a naturally occurring virus and not a laboratory derived virus.” (From www.medicalnewstoday.com)

Preventions and Precautions

It is only the beginning of fifth period and already the sign-in sheet is two and a half pages full of names, of students who have signed in at the nurse’s office. There are many coming in with Rudolph noses. To make matters worse, the staff is short a nurse today and another nurse is overwhelmed answering calls, checking students in and out, is sick herself. Flu season is the busiest time of the year for room M104, the Wellness Center, which recently has not seemed so well at all. Zombie-like students trudge into the nurse’s office hopefully to get something that will cure their congestion or get a pass to go home, but that’s not all the nurses have to battle. This year in particular there is the fear of H1N1 cases. Swine Flu is very similar to the regular flu. It has all the same symptoms like aching muscles, a temperature, runny nose, coughing, sore throat, and diarrhea/vomiting. The only way to tell the difference between the flu and H1N1 is to get a blood test. Junior Cassie Cutshaw had Swine Flu and said it is not as bad as people are making it out to be, but that is only because she caught it at an early stage. She said it was actually kind of nice because she got a week off school, but then when the makeup work began to pill up, it was not as great as it first seemed. On a Saturday morning Cutshaw woke up dry heaving and had a fever. Her mom took her to the doctor after her driving lesson and they ran a throat culture test (a test where doctors scrap the back of the patient’s throat with a swap) and a flu test (a test where the individual is to scrap some mucus from their nose onto a swab). Cutshaw’s test results came back to be positive for influenza A. Then they find out that she had H1N1. She was given Tamiflu, which Cutshaw described as chicken noodle soup for the flu, tamiflu is actually a treatment given to children and adults to treat or prevent the flu, and told to stay home. Cutshaw is now better but has a few new nicknames like “H1N1” and “Swine.” H1N1 is no laughing matter though as the United States has reported more than 1,000 deaths. President Barack Obama has declared the H1N1 outbreak a national emergency. Warren has been following health department guidelines by stressing students to wash their hands and cover their mouth when they cough or cover their nose when they sneeze. Warren also wants students to try to avoid large gatherings

to avoid germs and spreading. The school is taking extra precautions by doing extra cleanings and having large bottles of hand sanitizer accessible for students and staff. Warren has been following all the Indiana Health Department guidelines in regards to reporting the number of absences. If that number were become larger, over 20 percent, Warren would have to consider shutting down just like other schools in Indiana have had to do due to too many absences because of student and staff illness. But so far Warren is in the clear and is looking okay for not closing down.Does Warren have a plan if there were to be an outbreak? The answer to that question at the moment is vague. “Our district has created a safety net in the event of any emergency which would cause any building to shut down, by adopting the Blackboard a web based instructional program,” Rich Shepler, principal said. “Through Blackboard teachers can post instructions, assess student work and communicate with students. Currently 42 Walker Career Center and Warren Central teachers are trained in using this program we will train the rest of teachers next Tuesday on Professional Development Day.” Students would get a call from the school with instructions on how to access the program. In a survey, 88 percent of Warren’s population has Internet access and could access the Black Board program.

FCCla-Meetings are held on Wednesday mornings in the Threshold at 7 a.m.

rOCkinG WiTh The Band: The woodwinds perform section C of their show Namaste hoping to reach perfection during a competition. Such performances have gotten them results of 2nd overall, best drum major and a $250 check.

Andre Williams, the Gold Brigade’s drum major, proudly takes his position on top of his podium overlooking the field. He glances at his team then turns, bows to the audience, turns back to the field and the show begins. A typical marching band season starts in June with members learning basics and fundamentals. The season ends in October after state finals, if the group makes it that far. In between that time bands work hard at learning their show, music and choreography. In the summer teams spend their time on hot parking lots or fields with the sun in their eyes. In the fall, teams practice rain or shine and in cold temperatures in hopes of meeting that season’s goal. Individuals focus on keeping spacing and intervals exactly the same and staying in step. Some band members even endure the frustration of accidentally getting hit by color guard members who learn new work on the spot, and frustration is all around. Spending this much time together and in such close quarters can cause friction but not with this group. The Gold Brigade’s goal was to make it to state for the second year in a row, but unfortunately they were eliminated in semi-state. The week before semi-state at rehearsals, Mr. John Hilmer, the band director, had been boosting the team’s morale by talking about dedication and ending the season strong. The Gold Brigade had hoped to make it past semi-state and only had one last hurtle to

get over to make it to their goal. They would have been competing with the best bands in the state like Avon and Ben Davis. The Gold Brigade went to that Saturday’s competition with fight and drive in their eyes. After the show the group gathered in and was congratulated by directors on having an excellent performance. Some performers were still out of breath and smiling because according to Mr. Ed Meckes they had an “excellent performance”. The group had their meeting and did their chants. The only thing left was to get the scores from the judges. Later that night at awards, the group huddled together and waited for their results. Only 10 groups could compete in state. Once Warren’s name was not announced as moving on to the finals, there seemed to be a feeling of shock in the crowd. “Everybody had their heads down,” Sam Leonard, drum line said. “They were shocked and heads were down. They were waiting for them to announce they had made a mistake. This is huge initiative for next year to work harder, to leave it on the field with no regrets.” The Gold Brigade was two-tenths of a point away from making state. Even though the group did not make it to state they will always remember getting a standing ovation from the audience at their last competition. That alone proved their season was worthwhile.

PHOTO OPBest buddies program brings buddies, peers closer togetherBy Haley Dickey Editor-in-Chief Graphic/Best Buddies Organization

Let’s play a guessing game. What Warren Central program is nationally recognized and has over 120 current members and helps to bring all 60 pairs of buddies closer tegether? The Best Buddies organization is available in over 1,400 high schools, colleges and middle school. Best Buddies was founded in 1989 by Anthony Kennedy Shiver to promote the one-on-one friendship between buddies. This year Best Buddies has brought 36 pairs of students together in Warren Central to create a friendship that will last for a lifetime. Fifty associate members (members without buddies) are also apart of the organization. President Savannah Reed knows how important friendship is between a buddy and his or her peer. The buddy is the Best Buddy member who has cognitive learning disability. The buddy are paired with a

volunteer who must commit to building their friendship. A strong commitment is made between the peer and the buddy to meet at least once a month and be in contact once a week. Faculty advisor Kathy Culley hopes that the program will create friendships for a lifetime between the pairs. This month the group will have a Halloween party in the shelter located east of the WCC and in November they plan to have a pool party. On top of that the peers are encouraged to accompany their buddy to a football game or a movie. Anyone wanting to get involved can still become and associate member to participate in the program. Also keep an eye out for the Best Buddies fundraiser walk in the spring. The program builds a friendship while engaging in a fun activity outside of school.

Students see red as Just Say No group celebrates Red Ribbon Week along with rest of nation

WhiSTliNg ThROugh CRaCkeRS: Several Warren students were asked to eat three crackers in a game during a Just Say No meeting. The first person to whistle was the winner. Speaker used games and entertainment to influence students to stay away from drugs.

Red Ribbon Week, the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country, is celebrated on the last full week of October, which this year fell from the 17 through the 25, but due to fall break, Warren celebrated Red Ribbon week Oct. 26 to the 30. The story behind Red Ribbon Week starts with Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, a man who grew up in poverty, wanted to make a difference in the world.Camarena went to college, served in the Marines and became a police officer. Eventually, Camarena ended up joining the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration or DEA and was sent undercover to Mexico to investigate a major drug cartel. On Feb. 7, 1985, Camarena left his office to have lunch with his wife when five men forced him into a car. One month later, Camarena’s tortured body was found in a shallow grave. Less than a month later, Camarena’s high school friend Henry Lozano as well as Congressman Duncan Hunter organized the first campaign in Imperial Valley, California. Eventually, all members wore red ribbons or red badges as a symbol to remember Camarena’s sacrifice. All new members pledged to live a drug-free life and help support the prevention of drugs. Today, Red Ribbon Week is nationally recognized to help support the DEA’s cause to fight against drugs, as well as hold a tribute for a man who gave his life doing what he believed in. Warren Central is doing its part in the fight against drugs. Just Say No supports Red Ribbon Week by selling arm bracelets, and all members wear their “Born to Rock” T-shirts. Non-members and members were encouraged to wear red on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday of Red Ribbon week. Wednesday members will wear their “Born to Rock”

T-shirts. “All we can do is ask the school to support us,” John Greenlee sponsor of Just Say No said. Informational flyers will be handed out to students who want to know more of the back ground of Camarena and how Red Ribbon week came to exist and spread across the country. “Our efforts to bring awareness to just say no to drugs is what were about,” Deniece Carmean, co-sponsor of Just Say No said. Camarena gave his life for a drug free world;

his cause will always live on and bring awareness to the students of Warren Central as well as students all across the nation. “This is the largest Just Say No club in Warren Central history,” Greenlee said. “A long time ago we were able to go to the Elementary schools and speak but now because of transportation and permission slips, it’s all too much.” The Elementary schools still did their part in participating; many went by the national celebrations for each day of the week. Monday of Red Ribbon week “Elect to be Drug Free” day was nationally celebrated by wearing red white and blue to show

pride for our country. Tuesday “Color My World Drug Free” day all elementary schools wore the color of their grade level. Wednesday “Team up Against Drugs” day everyone dressed up in their favorite team jersey. Thursday “Friends don’t let Friends Do Drugs” day, students dressed like their friend to match as though they are twins. Finally, Friday, “Say Boo to Drugs” day, students and staff wore orange and black. Red Ribbon Week is nationally celebrated not only in the United States but also in Mexico, where Camarena was killed. The students there do many of the same things as we do here in the United States. They celebrate the awareness and for the fight against drugs.

It is official, Warren has made the switch from Pepsi products to Coca-Cola Products. Warren’s beverage contract runs out every five years and for past three times, Pepsi products has been the highest bidder, but this year Coca-Cola stepped up and won the bid. Coca-Cola products have now joined the Warren. Although Dasani water, Smart water and V8 Fusion were introduced before fall break the official 100 percent change to Coca-Cola products took place over the fall break. “We are very excited for the new contract.” Mason Gallmeyer, Warren Food Service Manager said, “It is very promising.”

The new Coca-Cola will pay for certain senior events and graduation. Coke also has some exciting programs, there is a recycling program where Coca-Cola actually picks up and returns the recycling bins. Also there are scholarship opportunities through the Coca-Cola contract that will be available for seniors. Coca-Cola company also has a print shop that provides banners and displays for school functions and the concession stands. The new contract gives students a new variety of products. Powerade, Dasani water, Smart Water, V8 Fusion and Fuze are a few of these options. As for the products it does not make a difference what company wins the bid, Warren has seen the last of its carbonated, caffeinated soda days.

The American Beverage Association has guidelines that high schools across the nation must follow. Drinks must be low calories or zero calories.

The annual National Education Associationís American Education Week will take place November 15 to the 21.American Education week will be held at Washington Square mall on Tuesday, November 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. There will be booths representing schools, performances and free food samples.

It is time again to huddle up against hunger. Warren has participated in a canned food drive for many years and will continue the tradition November 3 through 12. Warren Central Student Council has won the Indiana Association of Student Councils Canned Food Drive Award three years in a row. It is up to the students to accomplish the goal of 40,000 can foods for the 2009 H.U.A.H campaign. “Huddle up against hunger has always been an important way for students to help Warren Township families who need assistance,” Beth Wolff, Student Council sponsor said. Due to the economic stress felt across the country there is a high demand and need for the food this year. H.U.A.H. is a very competitive canned food drive. Secret alliances are sure to be formed. The two main competitors for the all day competition are Jeff Arvin and Chris Pollock. They have fond memories of previous scandals. “My favorite scandal was back in 2005 when the basketball team got together and bought a lot of chips and snacks that cost me the 2005 championship,” Arvin said. Pollock recalls when a “certain teacher whose name was not mentioned” had his wife check out the competition results and go out and buy more items to put him over the top.

Arvin won the competition 2003, 2004, 2006 and last year and is very eager to win the 2009 competition. He had a total of 2,453 items last year. Arvin is throwing a rockband/pizza party later in the year as a reward for those who help his cause.

Pollock has his own club named the “Mr. Pollock’s Canned Food Club”. There are two levels. The first level of the club is a gold member who must bring in 10 items or more will be invited to a doughnut party. The platinum members who bring 20 cans or more will be invited to attend Pollock’s Luau, which is to be full of food, entertainment and

fun. Although H.U.A.H. has turned into a big competition, everyone has the same goal in mind. “I encourage everyone to compete but the bottom line is making sure that we can help as many people as possible,” Arvin said. “In the end, H.U.A.H. is all about helping out Warren families because every item makes an impact on someone else’s life this year,” Pollock said. Students are reminded to keep eyes open for the exciting H.U.A.H. advertisements and the challenges on the announcements. Like always, the winners are literally in for a treat. Along with the traveling trophy the class that collects the most cans throughout the day will be given a doughnut party.

Pink is not just a color anymore – it is the symbol of a global movement to fight breast cancer. Although October, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, is already over, it is never too late to get involved and support the hundreds of others who fight, and help fight, breast cancer every day. However you choose to get involved, just know that everything you do makes a difference. After all, without all of the support and the donations to help raise awareness, 10 million people, or one every 13 minutes, could die of breast cancer in the next 25 years. By the end of 2009, an estimated 192,370 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed among women and an estimated 40,000 will die. Whether we are donating for a sibling, a loved one, or a complete stranger, we are helping save a life. Saving a life and being a hero to somebody is not hard to do, and all we have to do is give a little bit – it could be running in a local Race for the Cure or just donating $5. Cancer affects all of us one way or another. Whether it is a family member who has been diagnosed, a neighbor, or even a friend of a friend, it circles around back to us. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women aged 15 - 54. So what if you know someone with breast cancer -- what can you really do for them? It is not as hard as it seems. Donate. Over the past five years, Komen for the Cure Affiliates have awarded more than $160 million in needs-based community grants. Another organization that is helping fight breast cancer is the NBCAM. The organization has been at the forefront of promoting awareness of

breast cancer issues. Today, NBCAM recognizes that although many great strides have been made in breast cancer awareness and treatment, there remains much to be accomplished. Walk or run in the Race for the Cure. Globally, more than a million people participate in the Race for the Cure, raising thousands of dollars. Speak out. Help find the cure and be that person who helps fight breast cancer. Have the willingness to stand by someone and help fight through with them. It is what keeps the drive in people diagnosed burning – burning to beat cancer. The entire month of October, we saw pink everywhere. Professional football games, even events here at Warren such as the volleyball game, which raised over $600 for breast cancer awareness. The football team also supported National Breast Cancer Month by wearing pink socks and pink armbands. Students at Warren are also speaking out against breast cancer. “It is not something that should be shoved aside and more money needs to be raised for it for families that cannot afford treatments. Teenagers are the best at fundraising and it can save lives,” junior Meghan Trimpe said. The end of October should not be the end of the fight against breast cancer. Every month, every day, we should be continuing the fight to save lives. Ninety-six percent of women who find and treat breast cancer early will be cancer-free after five years. We are never too young to start the fight against breast cancer. “We are the next generation,” sophomore Amy Conway said, “and we have to be aware of it so we can help prevent it later in life.”

Mr. Jones’ Neighborhood Congratulations Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. You have successfully helped to get Rush Limbaugh kicked out of Dave Checkett’s bidding group for the St. Louis Rams. You also managed to shoot the very basis of American capitalism and civil rights in the face to further your own agendas. Not 20 seconds after the story hit CNN and the like, Sharpton and Jackson were on the offensive against Limbaugh, going so far as to send a letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell about how Limbaugh’s “track record on race” should make him ineligible to become an owner. These two were so quick to hop on statements made by Limbaugh on his radio show, from his apparent desire to want the Obama administration to fail, a statement based off of political ideology, not race, all the way to his comparing NFL games to the “Bloods and the Crips, just without the guns,” which is a purely racist statement. The problem is that everyone seems to forget that these civil rights leaders heading this crusade are just as bad. Take this little bit from a speech of Sharpton’s at Keane University in 1994:“White folks was [sic] in caves while we was [sic] building empires... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them [sic] Greek homos ever got around to it.” Bypassing his oh-so-exemplary skills in oratory, talk such as this would be the end of most people’s public careers. He is racist. He is homophobic. He is everything that he claims to stand against in this statement. And he has never been taken to task for it. But apparently Limbaugh is the one that deserves to be . Sharpton’s peer, Jesse Jackson, has a track record as well, calling New York City

“Hymietown” while attempting to run for president. But again, these are just mere faux pas, Limbaugh is the true bad guy. I am in no way defending the downright deplorable things that Limbaugh has said, but if we truly are looking for an equal society, both sides of the aisle need to be on even ground, and this whole debacle has shown me that we are not in even the galactic sector of equality, unless of course

you count both sides flinging heaps of steaming ignorance around to be “equality.” When it comes to buying the Rams, or any other teams for that matter, it shouldn’t come down to the color of anyone’s skin, it should be all about the color of the money. The very foundation of America is based on the idea that a citizen can do what he or she pleases as long as that person doesn’t infringe upon the rights of others, and I don’t

see any rights being infringed here. Through the mountains of columns by respectable journalists and rants by pretty much every talking head not associated with Fox News, I have yet to find a truly solid reason why Rush doesn’t deserve to purchase the team, other than “He said some really mean stuff.” Yes. He did. And he has been punished accordingly, such as losing his gig as a Sunday Night Football announcer. But this is truly childish. We have come so far in terms of civil rights, and now that we have resorted to petty bickering over a few ignorant people, we cannot continue to move forward. Limbaugh does deserve the team. Jackson and Sharpton do deserve the right to ensure equality. No one deserves to be the receiving end of blatant racism, from any race.

Capitalism: A Love(less) Story

It took me a long time to finally sit down and write this column. I had to think of how to do it. How do I write about someone that means more to me than anything? I had to sort everything out so I could to figure out what to say about my little sister, Courtney. Let’s start with the basics. She is 13 years old, 5”3’ (I am 5”2’...), she listens to her little purple iPod nonstop, she has weekly sleepovers with her best friend, she forces me to play Skip-Bo with her almost every night and she is a seventh grader at Raymond Park. She is a normal teenager in every way, except she has cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy affects Courtney’s nerves in her legs. CP makes it difficult for someone to stay balanced andmover properly. When she was six she had surgery to correct the way she was forced she walked because of the disease. She used to walk on her toes but the doctor snipped the nerves to her legs to relax her muscles. When I told Courtney I was going to write my column about her she started telling me what I should say about her. All the funny things she says. Like how she says everything backwards: backflashes are flashbacks, merote is remote, polka dots becomes doeppleplots. Or she wanted me to tell my readers about all of her falls, she is an excellent faller. But those quirky things about her aren’t why I wanted to dedicate this month’s column to her. I am writing about her because she is my hero. And everyone

should know the importance of siblings. When Courtney and I were younger, we fought all the time, about anything. Mom would yell and yell. But once Courtney hit 13, it was different. She doesn’t argue with me, she doesnít get mad at me; she has truly become my best friend. About a month ago we were driving back from our dad’s house in Fishers and I was exhausted. We get in the car and a

blast Miley Cyrus’ “Climb”. Courtney starts singing, at the top of her lungs, and I couldn’t help but sing along. She always knows how to make anything better, and I am more grateful for her than I am anything. She has taught me so much about patience and how to care for another person that I know I would not be the person I am today

without her. But Courtney’s disability isn’t what makes her such a

great sister. Her humor and they way she tackles a problem and her support of me in everything I do makes me love her more and more each day. I know not everyone has a sibling, but for those of you, who do, he or she truly is your best friend, they look up to you. My little sister has helped me through everything but two years ago I would have wrung her neck. She knows how to make me feel better. I wouldn’t give up my little sister for anything in the world. Oh, and now she is writing her English paper about me.

You have a best friend for lifelife in HD

Tr cks and treatsThe word “incoming” is screamed

and the door is opened. I t i s a l m o s t t i m e .

They wait, patiently, silently, while the victims come one-by-one down the hallways. As soon as a victim is in view, they wait for the perfect moment to strike. When it happens, screams can be heard through the entire building. Timing is what makes a perfect scare, and the actors and characters of The Asylum House know exactly what to do and what room and position to be in to scare someone. Among the three main sections of The Asylum House, anyone and everyone is bound to scream at some point. Each actor and character within the haunt has his or her own tricks to scaring people. Inside the main building of The Asylum House there are various themed rooms, like the Lizzie Borden room, the Saw room, and the Chuckie room. As people turn the corner into the Lizzie Borden room, Victoria Lopez, who plays Lizzie Borden, rocks in a chair with a hatchet in her hands. While

those in the room look around to fi nd an exit, Lopez begins to laugh and runs across the room, hatchet in hand, and chops into the head of a dead body. “What gets people the most is my maniacal laugh,” Lopez said. This haunted house has no age limit to scare people. Ten-year-old Tylerr Pittman plays Chuckie and roams throughout The Asylum House scaring people with his unnoticeable size and slyness. In the Chuckie room, a Chuckie doll comes across the room and stops right before it gets to the people walking through which distracts Pittman from being seen. There is only one way to go for those who make it through the main building of The Asylum House – the woods. The woods are dark and muddy, with no sign of which direction to go. Snapping branches beneath feet and the feelings of being watched haunt the victims. As they pass by, Bubba, played by RJ Walters, is hidden by fog and a blinking strobe light. He waits until the perfect moment before scaring someone.

He reveals himself, covered in blood, along with a chain in his hands and more screams are heard. “It helps that I am ungodly huge,” Walters said. “It’s incredible that I can be hidden so well.” As those who continue on get further into the woods, more screams are heard and more are running out of the woods to carry on into the cemetery. Through the cemetery is the next stop: the trailer. Inside the trailer there are only slivers of light to show the way, leading victims into a padded cell. The strobe light distorts the view and cannot see a way out. Just when an exit is found Stitches, the Mad Clown, played by Tom Knox, blocks it off. After making it through the different rooms inside the trailer, there is one last thing to survive. Monster Mayhem. Once entering this maze, victims end up getting lost, running and panicking. Tattered sheets cover the different directions; no one knows what could be on the other side. “One, two, Freddy’s coming for

you; three, four, better lock your door” is sung in the darkness. The scratching of claws can be heard across the wooden boards. As the victims turn the corner, Freddy Krueger is there, waiting for them. Not knowing which way to go, they scramble. Freddy is right behind them. Once they think they have gotten away and found the exit, the sound of a chainsaw roars. Leatherface. He blocks the exit. He chooses a victim to corner while everyone else runs through the door. Finally, the last of the victims run out and the night of terror is over. “It’s usually the noise that the claws make on the walls that scares them,” Jeremy Patterson, who plays Freddy, said. “If you come here thinking you’re going to be scared, you’ll get scared,” Shelby Coffey, a manager of The Asylum house said. “If you come here thinking you’re a tough guy and won’t be scared, we will scare you.”

Fighting to find a cureDuring October, pink was a very

popular color around school. Football, volleyball and cheerleading showed

their support for breast cancer awareness and encouraged students too as well. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women ages 35 to 50, so why should teens be worried about breast cancer? The main reason why teens should be aware of breast cancer is to help make healthy choices early. If teens are aware, then they can make the healthy choices now to help prevent the risk of developing breast cancer. “Teens need to be aware so the know the preventative measures to not develop breast cancer,” Mrs. Moeller, whose mother recently survived breast cancer, said. There are many ways to prevent breast cancer that teens can do. Not smoking, getting great diet and exercise, and knowing their family history can decrease their risks. Another reason teens should be aware is to help inform parents and relatives. Most adults are not aware of the affects of cancer, and if teenagers educate their relatives then they can help them be aware too. “I feel like if my teenage daughter came

home and said ‘mom when is the last time you had a mammogram?’ it would really shock me,” breast cancer surivior Sage said. “It would make me realize that I should be aware.” Also, age is not a factor with breast cancer. It does not matter how old somebody is, they are still at the risk of developing it. Being aware can help make choices to avoid breast cancer. “Cancer does not care how old, color, shape you are,” Sage said. Early detection is very important. If teens are aware of the signs of breast cancer, they can bring it to a doctorís attention immediately. “Early detection is imperative,” health teacher Denny Dilts said. “Cancer cells divide 12 times faster than normal body cells.”Things to know about breast cancer. Clinical breast exams and mammograms are important. Most women do not start

getting mammograms until the age of 40 unless they have a family history of breast cancer. The earliest form of breast cancer,

ductal carcinoma, is usually found on mammograms, and inflammatory

breast cancer is found on clinical breast exams. Being active lowers the risk of developing breast cancer. Being overweight increases the risk of developing it, especially after menopause.

Men can develop breast cancer too. Most men develop

breast cancer between the ages of 60 and 70. Most men who

develop it have lumps that are very noticeable.

Having lumps does not increase the risk of having breast cancer. Women who have fibrocystic breast have increased fibrosis and cystic spaces in the breast tissue. Most

women go through fibrocystic changes during menstrual cycles,

but women who have fibrocystic breasts should get annual exams. Pain usually is not a sign of breast

cancer. Also, women with dense breasts are more likely to develop is because dense tissue causes cells to grow faster. Dense breasts mean that the breasts are heavier and thicker. Chemotherapy has good and bad affects on the body. It kills fast growing cancer cells very quickly, but sometimes cannot tell apart healthy fast-growing cells like red and white blood cells from cancerous ones. This can cause a low red or white blood cell count, and this is why people get sick during the treatment. Family history is crucial when it comes to breast cancer, but it does not mean people will automatically get it. Also, having a father or brother with colon or prostate cancer can higher the risk. Twenty to 30 percent of people who have breast cancer have a family history, but it is still important to tell a doctor if there is a family history. If there is a high risk of breast cancer through family history or suspicious lumps, make sure to get an MRI or mammogram. By having these tests done, it will be easier to detect small tumors.

Sage’s story Ms. Becky Sage of Raymond Park is a twelve- year breast cancer survivor. Sage came home from work one day, and noticed the lump herself. She had a friend that worked with a breast surgeon and called the friend immediately. The next morning she went in and had a mammogram done. She had a mammogram six months before and nothing came up. Sage ended up having two different types of

cancer in the same breast. She had 19 lymph nodes taken out, and the cancer did not spread to them at the time. A month later she started an intense six months of chemotherapy, lost her hair and became “deathly ill.” Sage eventually got through her treatment and became cancer free. “The hardest part for me was once my appointments were over, was learning how to live my new life and living with the fact I had breast cancer,” Sage said.” It took a couple of

years to feel like I was not out there lost.” Sage’s surgery was in the springtime, around Race for the Cure, and that is how she became involved in the Susan G. Komen Foundation. She has done many things for the foundation including being on the executive committee, helping in survivor programs and selling merchandise. “It helped being around people who are going through or have been through the experience I was going through,” Sage said. Today she is living a happy life with her family. Sage is a secretary at Raymond Park Middle School. She does everything she can to help support breast cancer awareness. “It was a life changing experience, but for the better,” Sage said

Moeller’s story Ms. Amy Moeller went through one of the hardest things someone could go through in life. She almost lost her mother to breast cancer. “I was at school and got a phone call from my brother; he asked me if I was alone and I told him there were other teachers in the room with me,” Moeller said. “He told me my mom had breast cancer, and I was just devastated.” When Moeller fi rst heard her mom, Rosie, had breast cancer, she was not optimistic at all. She didnít think about all the treatments, and the possibility that her mother could beat it. Moeller was very scared. “From there I was so concerned about everything, and I refused to let her go by herself,” Moeller said. After going to all of Rosieís surgeries and appointments with her, she discovered all the advancements that were made with breast cancer. Moeller became much more positive about the situation, and became very informed. “Luckily, my mom is very good about getting her yearly mammogram, they could give her a lumpectomy,” Moeller said. “She was also able to get radiation because she was older in age.” Rosie was put on an experimental drug, and Moeller was all for it. The experimental drug was to help other people in the long run. As a family, they did the breast cancer walks to support other victims with breast cancer. “She felt like it was an opportunity for her faith instead of a punishment,” Moeller said. During her treatment, she did get sick from her radiation treatments, but she did not lose her hair. She had the most positive attitude towards it all, and tried hard to form relationships with her doctors. “Five years ago was when I found out she had cancer,” Moeller said. “She has been cancer free for three years now.”

It makes audiences jump, with random appearances from Jason, and a surprise ending that adds an extra scary twist.

It still startles, but the ending isn’t as scary. The original takes it, especially since there is no end in sight. Jason does come back.

For it’s time, the shadowy camera work and constant rain made for an eerie feel.

Newer special e� ects and make-up allow for an even more realistic appearance.

Counselors at Camp Crystal Lake are being picked o� one by one, all thanks to Jason, the villain who started the slasher-movie trend.

A group of teens decide to set up a campsite near camp Crystal Lake. The movie remakes not only the original, but the three sequels that followed.

Mike Myers escaped from Smith’s Grove metal institution 15 years after he killed his older sister on Halloween. He broke out to search and kill his younger sister, Laurie.

Mike is still alive and roaming around for Laurie. Not a lot changed from the original except background information was added to explain why Mike killed his sister.

The graphics were slim, so the good special e� ects were used mostly when Mike killed someone.

There are more graphics and better special e� ects, but that could be attributed to the fact that crew had access to better technology.

Mike is scary, no doubt, but once fans learned his backstory, the mystique is lost. He is less scary when we know why he does things.

By the end of the movie, Mike was shot six times, and had fallen out of a two-story window. He still wouldn’t die. Fans don’t know where he walked o� to, which de� nitely left everyone wondering.

With the Warriors closing out the regular season with a 28-14 victory over conference rival Center Grove, it is time for the Warrior Nation to move

their focus to the postseason. At fi rst glance Sectional 5 may look like the Warriors personal playground due to the other seven team’s combined record of 29-41, but those thoughts were thrown out the window after the Warriors narrowly escaped the muck and the mud of Franklin Central in the opening round of sectional play. The Warriors headed into halftime with a 6-0 lead after missing out on red zone opportunities that would have given the Warriors a controlling lead, and the Flashes wasted no time in making them pay with a touchdown from junior running back C.J. Williams. The Flashes second touchdown put them up 13-6 after a botched extra point attempt. Franklin Central had held the Warriors scoreless in the second half and as time was running out in the fourth quarter the ball was back in the hands of senior quarterback Brett Massengale and the Franklin Central offense. Senior Eric Wright made the Flashes regret the decision to throw late in the game after he intercepted a pass from Massengale and returned it for a Warrior touchdown. The Warriors followed that up with a 2-point conversion to seal the victory in a game that showed there is no such thing as an easy road to the championship. But how diffi cult is the Warrior’s path to what would

be their fi rst championship appearance since 2006 Here is a projection. After week one of postseason play, the Warriors will be at home for round two against Perry Meridian. With the nice, fi rm turf under the feet of the Warriors, expect the running game to explode against a Perry Meridian team that had just two wins in the regular season and lost to Center Grove 32-0. That would set up a rematch of last year’s Sectional title game between the Warriors and the Lawrence Central Bears. The Warriors have averaged 39 points per game this season while the Bears have reached that number only once all season. Expect a repeat of last year’s sectional championship game, a 32-23 win over the Bears. Opening round of regional play sets up a duel between the Warriors and the winner of a highly competitive Sectional 6. Look for the Pike Red Devils to rise to the occasion and earn the Sectional 6 spot in the regional round after Avon’s surprise victory over the Ben Davis Giants. The Red Devil defense has held their opponents to 15 points or less on seven occasions this season, but they also have the ability to keep it close in a shootout, scoring over 30 points in fi ve games. If Warren Central is going to advance past Pike, the Warriors will have to control the time of possession, sustain

drives, and get all their backs involved in the running game. Semi-State would not get any easier for the Warriors with a rematch against conference rival, and defending State champion, Center Grove High School. The Warriors were able to beat the Trojans 28-14 on October 16, thanks to a shutout in the second half. Center Grove showed off their strong passing attack against the Warriors with two touchdowns passes in their last meeting. If the Warriors want to win a State championship, then they will most likely have to beat a team that they have not beaten since November 25, 2006. Since beating the Carmel Greyhounds 35-14 for the State title in 2006, the Warriors have lost to Carmel three consecutive times. The Warriors fell behind Carmel early in their October 2 match up, only to come back with a chance to win in the fi nal two minutes, but turn the ball over in the end zone for a 24-22 loss. If the Warriors plan to knock off Carmel, they will need to fi nd an answer to freshman quarterback Adam Shaffer, who threw 13 completions on 19 attempts for 174 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. While no one knows who will be hoisting the trophy in Lucas Oil Stadium on November 28, it is certain that the Warriors path to claiming the top spot in class 5A is not an easy one.

Personal Foul!

It has definitely been a historic volleyball two weeks for the Lady Warrior volleyball team. It has been 22 years since the last time they have been able to hoist the sectional trophy in the air, and it was no easy task getting there. With a random draw to find their opponent, the Warriors drew Cathedral High School as their first round opponent in sectionals. Cathedral has never been an easy win, coming off of back-to-back state titles for 4A. Playing with a, “one game at a time,” mindset, the Lady Warriors looked to prove that even though they are a very young team, they are still a force to be reckoned with. With a packed house and everyone on their feet cheering, the stage was set to accomplish something that the Lady Warriors had not done in eight years. It was a tight game exchanging point for point, neither team giving an inch.

Leaving it all on the court, the Warriors were able sweep the Fighting Irish three games to none, and knocking them off their throne. But the run did not stop there. With a win over Indianapolis Arlington, the lady Warriors had managed to out score their opponents 75-10, winning each match by 21 or more, and claiming their spot in the championship game. The girls were able to carry their momentum into the final game pulling out yet another three game sweep over the Lawrence North Wildcats in the title game. For the first time in 22 years the girls were able to hold that sectional trophy in their arms. “Playing like we did and beating Cathedral, the defending state champs, for the first time was great, but moving on in sectionals was even better.” Sophomore

By Jackson CoramSports Editor It is an issue that is present in every aspect of athletics, but is so seldom thought about by those involved. That is until you see another pro athlete in the highlight reel of SportsCenter for fighting or over-the-top celebrations, among other things. Sportsmanship, or lack there of, has gotten a lot of press over the past few years thanks to professional athletes. “The Basketbrawl” at the Palace of Auburn Hills and the antics of a select group of NFL wide receivers are a few examples of poor sportsmanship seen today. Dr. Michael Wallpe, Associate Superintendent of School Improvement, has 40 years of officiating experience including state championship games in football, basketball, and baseball and a NCAA national championship in football. “Whether you want to accept it or not, as an athlete you are a role model and your actions influence the actions of athletes at all levels from college to youth leagues,” Wallpe said. High School athletes have not been known to use the end zone pylons to putt the football after a touchdown or jump into the stands to fight the crowd though. According to Wallpe, unsportsmanlike penalties are called when “a player in a team sport makes a spectacle of themselves.” The officials are at the front of the pack when it comes to promoting sportsmanship. “In the past, [officials] would cover sportsmanship with the team captains if it was a game between two rivals, like a Warren Central and a Ben Davis,” Wallpe said. Now it has become commonplace for officials to cover sportsmanship with team captains or whole teams before games. Penalties are getting more severe for unsportsmanlike behavior also. While fighting in a game used to mean an ejection from that game and that was it, the current policy brings an ejection from the current game and the next game as well. The IHSAA publishes a statement

every year stating how many incidents of unsportsmanlike conduct took place during that year in every sport. The numbers show a definitive decrease in these incidents within the last ten years. So is it no longer an issue? According to Wallpe, the numbers are unable to tell us whether the problem has improved or worsened due to a change in how these incidents are reported. “These numbers are distorted because of a change in the reporting mechanism.” While in the past, officials reported all incidents, the current policy doesn’t require officials to report every incidence of unsportsmanlike conduct. For example; any fight has to be reported, but showboating is not. It all depends on the severity. So while sportsmanship is still a concern, the real problem today does not come from the field of play or even the sideline, but rather in the stands. “I think sportsmanship has gotten better with the athletes and the coaches, but not the fans.” Wallpe said. “Their language is deplorable. Their reactions are unbelievable.” Fan, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is an enthusiastic devotee with an intense devotion. While fans are an integral part of the success of sports, they are also a pillar of one of the biggest problems in sports. “As an official, when I leave the court or the field, it is never a coach or a player I’m worried about. It is the fans,” Wallpe said. While altercations of a physical nature between fans and officials are far from regular, the possibility is still there. “We’ve lost focus on the fact that this is a game,” Wallpe said. Sportsmanship is one of those issues that has been around as long as sports have. As for the future, “I don’t see [sportsmanship] becoming less of an issue,” Wallpe said. “I hope it doesn’t get any worse than it was.”

Late season effort not enough to keep Lady Warriors’ season goingBy Jackson CoramSports Editor Another season down and another chapter complete in the history of Warren Central High School’s girls soccer program. But this is one chapter that many wish could have gone differently. After starting off the season with two victories at home, the young team looked primed and ready to make a deep run into the postseason behind the leadership of senior captains, Maggie Adams and Emily Klacik. Fast forward halfway through the season and its hard to believe Coach Roberts was fielding the same team. An eight game losing streak had left the girls with a 2-8 record. The aggressive team that put up seven goals in the first two games, was held scoreless in eight straight games thanks in part to tougher competition. The girls rebounded in the second game of a Saturday double-header with a comfortable 5-0 victory over Terre Haute

South. After breaking the losing streak in that shutout, the girls made a run at the county title with two shutout victories over Franklin Central and Roncalli. Then the Ben Davis Lady Giants spoiled the party with a 1-0 victory in the County semi-finals. The team finished out the regular season with a 3-0 victory at Franklin Central, before opening sectional play against the Bishop Chatard Lady Trojans. Although the defense was stout through most of the game, the constant pressure facing them allowed for two Lady Trojan goals while the Lady Warrior offense was not able to pressure the Lady Trojan defense. As the clock hit zero, the Lady Warriors walked slowly towards their bench for the final time this year. While it was a bitter end to the season, the youth of the team provides the team for another chance at a sectional title next year.

The boys tennis team finished up their season at sectionals on October 1. This season the boys were lead by coaches Bryan Hannan and Mike Hervey. One of the high points of the team’s season was at the Pike Invitational on August 29. The team came in second, losing a close match to Lawrence North. “We didn’t win, but we should have,” sophomore Paul White said. “We did really good.” This season was not only full of stressful practices and challenging meets for the boys, but also there were plenty of time when the team got to spend time together having a good time. “Bus rides are definitely some of the most memorable times,” junior Dylan Sheldon said. “We got a lot closer on the bus rides, and we really became more of a team.” Although the team’s record was not the greatest, the players do not consider the season to be a failure. “This season there was a lot of negative energy from outside sources, but we pulled through it together as a team,” White said. The boys had a successful season, and they are hoping to do better next year.

Boys soccer team gets the boot from Sectionals This year’s boys soccer team came out with the goal of winning a sectional title under first-year coach A.J. McAdams. While McAdams has had vast experience as a head coach for club soccer teams and as an assistant coach for Butler University, this is was McAdams first year as head coach for the Warriors. Although the goal of a sectional title was not met, losing to Mt. Vernon 2-1 in the first round, the team made many strides of improvement as the season progressed. “I feel pretty good about next year’s team,” McAdams said, “We are losing a few seniors but we have young, experienced players who are going to get better.” While their record, 3-12-1, might not

show it, the team worked hard all season and are working hard in the offseason as well, with a training program that includes running, conditioning and open gym sessions during the week. With this intense work regimen, the team hopes to be better prepared to face the challenges of their season. While McAdams realizes the team is losing several experienced players, such as All-District senior center back Christian Wilson, he feels like this year had several positives about it. “Younger guys got much needed experience this year,” McAdams said. That experience will be crucial for the team when the 2010 season comes.

Although it came to a disappointing end, the 2009 WNBA Finals left the Indiana Fever fans and players with a positive outlook for the future. But not so fast, ladies! Although the Fever took the Finals to a fi fth game and more than 18,000 of Indiana’s best bandwagon hoppers screamed their voices away earlier in the series, the Fever and the rest of the league are far from digging themselves out of the fi nancial toilet. Most recently, the WNBA kissed its most successful franchise goodbye. The Houston Comets, who won the fi rst four WNBA championships, the most of any team, folded under the weight of fi nancial ruin in December of 2008. Since its inception in 1996, stands at WNBA games have been fi lled with crickets and tumbleweeds. The Fever have averaged less than 8,000 fans per game over the last four years. So if those 8,000 fi nd 10,345 of their closest fans to bring along, the league and the team have a chance. Every year the league loses money, the always-generous David Stern takes profi ts from the NBA to pay off the WNBA debt. This successful, yet moronic, system that is dependent upon the success of the NBA has allowed the WNBA to limp through its 12-year existence. But the economic shipwreck of August 2008 has had lasting impacts on the general population and, in turn, professional sports. David Stern was quoted last season as saying that for the 2008-2009 season the NBA was far less profi table than the WNBA. So the NBA is now less profi table than a league that isn’t profi table. Although Stern has nobly defended the WNBA as an integral part of basketball’s success in the United States, I’m not buying it. I will never be convinced that keeping the WNBA around to leech off the profi ts of the NBA is a good business move. Owner Herbert Simon released a letter on the Fever web site shortly after the end of the 2009 WNBA Finals stating, “We are committed to the future success of this franchise in Indianapolis. We look forward to another great season in 2010 and for many years to come.” Even if Simon is able to keep the Fever going while the Pacers, among many NBA teams, have trouble fi nding a profi t, the WNBA will need to turn their fi nancial situation around on a dime if the Fever have any hopes for a future. My guess is that the WNBA will limp through one more painfully uninteresting season, but after that… you will have to go to the collegiate level to get your women’s basketball fi x.

Late season sprint falls short at Semi-State

The girls cross country team fi nished up their season with a loss in semi-state. They placed third out of 12 teams in sectionals. Senior Rebekah Jones, juniors Leah Woodbury and Jacklyn Howland, and sophomore Haley Baughman were all named all-sectional. The girls also placed third out of 10 teams in regionals on October 17. They were beaten by Franklin Central and New Palestine, but still qualifi ed for Semi-State this year. Jones surprised a lot of people in the state by placing second to Dani Sullivan of Franklin Central, a state contender. Howland also placed 10th to receive all-regional honors. The girls fi nished 10th out of 20 teams in semi-state. Jones was the top runner for the team with a time of 19:50 and fi nished 31st in the race. Head coach Brian Miller has had nothing but positive words about the girls. “It has been a pleasure working with the girls,” Miller said, “We have stayed healthy

throughout the season and have really responded to the training. Each girl has improved from the beginning of the season. I don’t think I anticipated having so much fun working with them.” The team worked hard together this season stepping up when called upon. If a runner was sick, hurt, or having a bad race, there was always someone to fi ll their spot. The team showed great teamwork and unity throughout the entire season. In wrapping up the season Miller had one thing to say, “No matter what the results say, we will be successful.” The team will be losing Anna Rowe and Jones this year, but have many Varsity and potential Varsity runners ready to step up and lead next year. Many of the girls are planning to run long distance in the upcoming track season. “A great track season and summer training will make us a pretty tough team for next year,” Miller said.

The boys cross country team ended their season with a 10th place fi nish in semi-state. The team had an overall record of 165 wins and 43 losses. The boys fi nished second in the Marion County Championship and placed fi rst in sectionals which advanced them to regionals on October 17. The team placed fi ve runners in the top nine spots in sectionals. Sophomores Cody Stone and Brandon Smith, junior Sean O’Brien, and Seniors William Wert, Dustin Smith, and Ben McMillan were named to the all-sectional team. The boys placed fi rst out of 10 teams with a overall score of 35. For the fi rst time in school history, they had all seven runners place in the top 15 out of 80 runners, making them all-regional. Stone has been the top runner for the team throughout the season, and placed ninth in the County meet. O’Brien and Smith were the top runners in MIC. “We did not run as well as we would of liked to run in the Semi-State, but I am very proud of our guys winning the Sectional and Regional,” head coach Joe Brooks said. Stone was the top fi nisher for the boys in semi-state placing 31st. The team is losing fi ve key runners this year, but are looking forward to bettering by adding new leaders. Sophomores Cody Stone and Brandon Smith along with Junior Sean O’Brien will be stepping up to lead the team next year.
