Football state sendoff: The entire football team prepares to get on the bus for the state championship game. Being the only state sendoffs that happened, everyone waited to see how it went. I think a send-off is a good idea, but the way that it was done in the timing that it was done, I think was off. I think that all groups should be celebrated - and not only football. I think everyone should get praise because theres a lot of stuff even I didnt know about, like Robotics and all that type all these clubs, DECA, and nationals, senior Gavin Quayle said.

Before the big race, the cross country girls were huddled together preparing for the Twilight invitational with having a good chance of going to state. Theres a lot of fast underclassmen and the guys are also doing really good and they might have a chance to go to state, but I think the girls have a bigger chance, senior Mckenzie McLeod.
