College Applications


By Kegan Penovich
 Stress, anxiety, fear, and foreboding are just some of the trials seniors will face soon, if not already. "What for," some might ask. The answer is simple: college applications.
    The complex documents that will very shortly decide where seniors will be spending the next four to ten years are quickly becoming the center of senior conversations all around the school.
    As deadlines come up, there will undoubtedly be more than one anxiety attack, meltdown, and mental short-out.
    Stress is only compounded for those with what we call aspirations and dreams. For these Harvard hopefuls, Dartmouth dreamers, and various others striving for the Ivy league, the process started long before. Since they started high school, they have, with religious dedication, taken every AP and honors class they can find. Stress and anxiety that have been building up for four years is now coming to a head at this one moment. They have their last chance to achieve what they have worked for so long to accomplish.

Hoops


By Shannon Tuttle
It's that time of year again T-Wolves: basketball season. Our boys started off the season with a win and have been working hard ever since. Their games are so intense and so much fun to go to.
    "They are so strong and determined, never giving up. Win or lose they hold their heads high because of their T-wolf pride." says junior Jodee Gonzalez. "The games are way exciting and a lot of fun to watch," Jodee continues. "You find yourself sitting on the edge of bleachers. We have a pretty young team this year, [most of the players are juniors] but they are all really talented, and I hope to go to as many games as possible."
    If you haven't gone to a game yet, keep an eye out for the posters around the school and announcments for future dates and times, believe me you won't want to miss out on this season. "It helps a ton to have our fans at the games. It really fires the team up and gets us going." says junior Chris Melville. 
    What makes the team so great? Chris shares, "I like our team 'cause we have good team unity and we're friends on and off the court." 
    Congratulations on the season so far boys, and good luck on the rest. We as a student body support you and looking forward to all of your future games.
