Editorial October 26, 2012 Paige Mason Page 4

This morning, I stopped at my locker to remove my eyebrow ring and my nose stud, just like I do every morning. It’s not that big of a deal, so why should it matter? It matters because it is part of people’s personal style and they should not have to remove it.

Should we have to remove our facial piercings when we enter the school building? No. We are allowed to have as many piercings as we want to in our ears, so why should any other place be different?

To find out the other side of the story, we went to speak to the

primary school principal, Mr. Altenburger. We asked why facial piercings are not allowed in our school. He said that it was mostly because they are seen as distracting. He also claimed there was an incident around sixteen years ago where there was a boy who was suspended because he refused to take out his piercing during proficiency testing because other student were distracted by that.

We also went to Mr. Baumgartner, the high

school principal and asked him why facial piercings were not allowed. He said he

realizes it has become a social

norm nowadays to have facial piercings, but the decision is not up to him, it is up to the

Board of our parents. They say they have to have the rule or people would go overboard with the piercings and have their face riddled with them.

Although all of this is understood, it would still be nice to be able to wear our piercings throughout the day. Al

You see them everywhere, except for school. It’s a new age form of personal expression. Varying from the tiny nose stud to gages, these are facial piercings. Is it a form of personal expression or just plain distracting? Should it be allowed in school? This week we are bringing you an editorial from our very own Paige Mason where we will be discussing the views on the ban of facial piercings.

Quiz Bowl

October 26, 2012 Trisha Drury Page 9

The lady soccer team has fought their hearts out this year. The team has been working hard all year but this is the time that counts, tournaments. Unfortunately, the girls came out short to Coldwater.

The starters for this game were Jadin Salyers, Abby Joyner, Claudia Rettig, Savannah Silone, Cheyenne Bierly, Trisha Drury, Alexis McCluer, Michaela Jenkins, Shelby Stevens, Erica Fox, and Kyra Plaugher. The Mustangs had control of the game but was not able to make any goals. The Lady Mustangs held tough and did not Coldwater score, but they could not get a good shot on goal either. Jadin Salyers, Cheyenne Bierly, and Claudia Rettig had many opportunities to score but just couldn’t get one to go in. As the game goes on the Mustangs kept control of the ball on their side of the field and worked hard but Coldwater’s defense kept them from scoring. At the end of the second half the score was still zero to zero. At this point the game was put into overtime. Overtime is 15 minute sudden death. This means that the first team to make a goal wins the game. The Mustangs played their heart out yet could not make a goal. After the 15 minutes were over the game went into over time again. The same

rules apply again. Yet again the ladies were not able to score.

After the second overtime it then goes to a shootout. They had to do a coin toss again to see who would kick first. The Mustangs won the toss so they kicked first. The order of the kickers was Savannah Silone, Abby Joyner, Michaela Jenkins, Claudia Rettig, and then Jadin Salyers. Kyra Plaugher was also in the goal when Coldwater was kicking.

Silone’s kick soared over the goal. Coldwater’s kick was hard and to the corner and Plaugher was not able to stop it. Joyner’s kick then also did the same as Silone’s kick and went over the goal. Coldwater’s next kicker also kicked hard and low. Then it was Jenkins’ turn. Jenkins’ kick was hard but went straight to the goalie. The next kicker from Coldwater made their next goal and they won the game. This was a sad day for all of the team. The whole team worked so hard to get there and the better team did not win that day. The team, however, should be proud of making it this far.

For this week’s football page we are going to talk to you about the Lima Central Catholic vs. Allen East game. We are also going to sit down and talk to one of the star players of the team “Grant  Criblez”!!!!!

The Allen East Mustangs football team recently played against one of the top teams in the league (LCC). The Allen East Mustangs were able to hold up against their strong offense very well through the first quarter. The Mustangs headed into the second quarter and then LCC was able to score a few times. The Mustangs came back out after half time and were able to stop them somewhat but LCC still was able to defeat the Mustangs 51 to 0. The Mustangs record is now 1-8.

Q. So Grant, since you are a senior, knowing that this is your last year playing for the Mustangs has that affected how hard you have been playing this year?

A. Yeah, I have been playing a lot harder because I know that this is my last chance to prove something.

Q. Do you think that you will continue a football career after high school?

A. I hope to continue a football career. I guess it all depends on what happens.

Q. How do you think this next game will affect the other seniors because this is their last game?

A. This will probably affect them because of the fact that this might be the last game of football for some people.

Q. Well Grant, is there anything else you would like to add?

A. Come support our last game. GO BLUE!!!

The Junior High Football team ended their season this last week. They played Crestview last Thursday, ending with a season record of 4-4. Let’‛s take a look on how the game went and word with the coach.

Crestview Last Thursday’‛s game against Crestview was the Junior High Football boy’‛s last game of the season. They had a hard fought game. In the first quarter Allen East scored a touchdown. This score was made by Spencer Miller. In the rest of the first half, Crestview scored four touchdowns. Their very last touchdown was scored with just seconds left in the half. This made the score 28-6 at halftime. Coming back out in the second half, the boys were able to hold Crestview and also get a touchdown. The touchdown was also scored by Spencer Miller. After the touchdown, they went for the extra 2 points. The extra point was thrown by Spencer Miller to Austin Tafe. This made the score 28-14 for the final score. In the game, Austin Tafe had two interceptions. Chris Kleman had a fumble recovery. There were also sacks made by Johnny Brinkman and Caleb Baumgartner. After the game in the extra quarter it was a good quarter. Allen East had a pass to Bubba Butler from Ryan Snyder for a touchdown.

Then Crestview brought back the equalizer with a touchdown. This tied it 8-8. This was the final

score for the extra quarter. We were able to get some information from one of their coaches, Brad Hutchinson, and get some stats on the season. Here is what he had for us. Spencer Miller led the way for the Mustangs in both passing and rushing with over 350 passing yards and 500 rushing yards. Also Brent Wilson had 300 plus yards rushing along with

Johnny Brinkman with 250. Austin Tafe led with 12 recepitions for 200 plus yards. Defensively

for the Mustangs, Johnny Brinkman led the way with 58 tackles followed by Spencer Miller, Brent Wilson, and Kyle Nickles each with 30 tackles. Austin Tafe added 4 interceptions. The boys ended the season with a record

of 4-4. Their wins were against Bluffton, Delphos Jefferson, Columbus Grove, and LCC.

Have you noticed a Skyline worker who looks oddly familiar? Maybe you caught a glimpse of him doing his best to keep the other team from scoring on the football field or maybe even getting furious pins on the wrestling mats. This exciting and interesting individual is almost always spotted smiling and making people laugh. This blond haired, blue-eyed guy could only be the Grant Criblez.

started  in  1st  grade  so  I’ve  been  doing  it  a  while.

A: For football it has definitely been my senior year because  it’s  been  more  fun.  I  can’t  really  say  about  

wrestling  because  I  haven’t  experienced  my  senior  

season yet, but probably junior year so far. I love wrestling and I could really talk about it for hours.

Q: What do you enjoy most about wrestling?

A: I enjoy getting pins, winning championships and the feeling of winning. I really love wrestling. (:

though.

Hey there Mustangland! Last week we got to know some of our student’s favorite things. This week we’re going to be learning more favorites from Ben Rodriguez, Joe Miller, Erica Fox and Trisha Drury.

Trisha Drury I have been in the brass for 5 years now; I was an A-9, which was an accelerated 8th grader. I am the line sergeant of row 11, which is on the 47 yard line. The Brass is known all over this area for our dancing styles. Most bands are competition type bands, and those bands are known for making shapes and different formations. I love our brass! I love our energy and just everything about it. I remember when I was little and watching my brother and sister in the brass.

Erica Fox My favorite class is Mr. Schelb’s history class. I enjoy his class because we have some debates and they get interesting. I also enjoy learning about history, because it can be really interesting to learn about what happened in history.

joe miller My favorite hobby is a

tossup between fishing

and hunting. I enjoy both

of these things because I like the outdoors

and the peace and quiet. I get to get away

from all the distractions of life and just be

alone. However, these aren’t my only

hobbies, I also enjoy watching football on

Saturday’s and hanging out with my

friends.

ben rodriguez in my free time i like to rebuild car engines and make it so they have more horsepower. i like doing this because a car engine was so confusing to me before and now i know all of the parts to an engine and i can modify stock car engines and turn them into power houses that will blow any car off the line.

Hello, Mustang Land! We’re well into the school year and many of us have been dealing with different types of problems and struggles. I, Megan Neal, am here to help give advice and asisst you, here are some of the questions that got answered. Dear Ms. Advice,

The nine weeks is almost over, what can I do to keep my grades steady until grade cards come out?

-Worry Wart Dear Worry Wart,

Just keep up with what you are doing. If your grades are not where you would like them to be, ask if there is any extra credit available for you to complete. If you can’t get your grades up this nine weeks, work on improving in the next nine weeks.

-Wishing you the best of Luck, Ms. Advice

Dear Ms. Advice, What do you I do if I forget to do my

homework the night before, but I realize once I get to school?

-Forgetful Student Dear Forgetful student, Write down assignements given to you by teachers in your Agenda. That way you can relook at the homework you have. If you forget to write them down, try to finish them in study halls you may have. You can also talk to teachers about your problem and they will help give you tips as well

-Good Luck from, Ms. AdviceDear Ms. Advice, Can you tell me a really classy, romantic way to ask a girl to go to prom with me, Something so amazing there is absolutely no way she would ever say no to it? I want something that will really impress her. -Hopeless Romantic

Dear Hopeless Romantic, You should just really go with your

gut, and do what your heart tells you. Something from the heart should really

impress her, because you took the time to think about her, and put a lot of effort into it.

-Good Luck, Ms. Advice
