THE GENDER DEBATE 15 THE PLAYER WITH THE PONYTAIL

Senior Sandra Emmerling spent most of her life watching football with her dad. This past summer, she decided it was time for her to stop watching and start playing. Emmerling attended football camp and never looked back. 19 SHE’S NOT THE AVERAGE WATER BOY

Each week, senior Julia Emer steps foot onto the stadium turf. Except, for Emer, it isn’t to pass, punt or block; instead, she assists the football team by being its manager. Along with six other managers, Emer gets to be a part of the team she thought she’d never have the opportunity to join. 26 THE VOICE FROM THE SIDELINES

When it comes to soccer, very rarely is there a female head coach. Similarly, tennis oftentimes is lead by a male head coach. For coaches Marni Polakow and Jamie D’Andrea, being female head coaches is about more than the sport; it’s about showing that they too belong on the sidelines.

EDITOR’S NOTE

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS

Transitioning from the fall to the winter athletic season means a tremendous amount of change, growth and difference. It also means framing my jersey and moving on to new adventures and experiences.

ith my final football season coming to an end, I am hit with the realization that I will never put on a helmet again for the Sequoits, or possibly for any other team. Football is a sport I played my whole life, dreaming of the one day when I would be playing under the lights every Friday night, just like the people I watched and looked up to growing up. It’s a sport that has brought me together with people that I would not

have without it, building bonds that will last forever. It’s a sport that I have learned so many life lessons from and a sport that has essentially made me who I am today. I owe so much to this sport. My teammates and I played nearly every down side by side, under any circumstances: rain or shine, hot or cold, thick or thin, win or loss. No matter what was on the line, we’ve had each other’s backs; through blood, sweat and tears we have been there for one another. When someone falls, we’re there for one another, helping each other to finish what we started. It’s an experience that no one would understand unless they were a part of it, and it’s frightening to think that this experience is coming to end. But I’m just one of many athletes who are are staring down the end to their careers as Sequoits. We grew up igniting a passion in ourselves for our sports: watching and learning. These moments are ones we have dreamed of our entire lives, and now we watch as our flames slowly burn out and our varsity seasons draw to a close. But now it’s time for us to pass the torch to the next group of Sequoits and watch as the new flames burn even brighter. It may feel like a significant part of your life is coming to an end, but with that an ever greater journey is just beginning. Antioch is a place where sports are an important part of the community. Our athletes and their passion for their sports are representations of that. From this passion we developed the newest additions to the Tom Tom: the sports magazines. In this issue, the “Fall Sports Issue,” the Tom Tom staff tackled gender in sports. We learned about Sandra’s experience on the football team, Julia’s opportunity as a manager, and how coaches Polakow and D’Andrea face discrimination head on in their sports. We also captured the top moments of the fall season, focused on the meaning of being a captain, and gave the hockey team the spotlight they fight to deserve. And that’s not all. To our fall athletes, thank you for inspiring us every day and showing your passion and dedication in your sports and in the classroom. To our readers, enjoy. TT

FISHING THE LAKES

Given the proximity to the Chain of Lakes, casting and jigging is a staple in the community. TED MARTINEK

Tom Tom Staff

he sun begins to dip below the horizon, casting an orange and red shadow over everything; the air gets an immediate chill to it, while small ripples disturb the calm lake the boat is floating on. After a successful day of fishing, it’s time to head in, but there are still hopes to catch one more fish before the day’s end. Then, below one of the ripples, larger than the others, something catches onto the sharp hook. The hopes of having a good dinner pulls down deeper with hook. With as many as 10 lakes in the immediate area, it’s no wonder fishing is a popular sport and pastime at school and in the community. Since the town was strategically established on the Chain of Lakes, it gave rise to many fishermen. Many Sequoits participate in this pastime, from a simple rod and reel casting out from the nearest dock, to hundreds of dollars sunk into a tackle box and a fishing vessel. But before one goes out and spend his next paycheck on fishing gear, he need to learn how to fish, and the teachings can be as varied as the people out on the lake. Learning the tools of the trade is often passed down as tradition, oftentimes learning from parents or close friends. Senior Quintin Tallian is one of those people. “I taught myself, and [learned] some skills from my dad,” he said.

“He doesn’t teach me anymore; I just kind of grow on my own experience through it.” Fishing is not only a popular sport and pastime, it is a stress reliever to many who partake in it. “It’s a good time to relax,” Tallian said. “I feel it’s a good way to relieve your stress because you focus on something that drives you to another goal, which is to catch the fish.” Fishing the Chain of Lakes will most likely mean catching bluegill, varying species of bass, northern pike, catfish, crappie, muskie, and much more. Each species needs it’s own technique to be caught, some being simple, others being harder and more specialized. One specialized way to catch bass and crappie is “jiggin” them. This is when a jig is bounced up and down in the water. It makes the fish think that the jig is a smaller fish, provoking them to have a regretful lunch. Another way includes fishing location and what time of the year ones goes fishing. Catfish are commonly found deep in the lake or near docks and reeds. Northern pike are more easily caught during the winter. Bluegill and other panfish can be caught at anytime of the year, with even the simplest of gear and bait. Fishing is a quick sport to get into around the Chain of Lakes area, with quick access to lakes and rivers all around, what are you waiting for? TT


THE PLAYER WITH THE PONYTAIL DEFYING THE ODDS:

Sandra Emmerling joined the football team this past summer. Ever since, the team’s only girl has made an undeniable impact. DANIEL BRITO

early every play, the sounds of helmets and shoulder pads clashing together fill ears around the stadium. The cringing motion fans make when they see a player get knocked to the ground usually is enough to stop a couple of people from playing. In the end, for some, the thrill of putting on the pads every Friday night is bigger than the fear of getting hurt. For senior Sandra Emmerling, the only female on the male-dominated football team, the thrill was greater than her fear as she fought through summer practices and began her season as a varsity football player. Emmerling surprised many players this June when she arrived for the football team’s annual summer camp: her first time ever playing organized football in her life. Some argue that alone shows tons of courage and determination; not only did she never play before, but also being the only girl to step foot on the field surrounded by boys. For head coach Brian Glashagel, he doesn’t think it’s someone’s gender that stops him or her from coming to camp or coming back, it’s the time commitment not everyone is willing to accept. “The are a large amount of people that say they are going to play football over the summer time, then come that June morning they do not show up,” Glashagel said. “Once we got through July camp, which is the hardest part, I knew [Emmerling] was going to stick it out.” Emmerling stuck it out all summer and the season to make a statement to herself. “Last year I wanted to do it, but I decided not to,” Emmerling said. “I just thought I wouldn’t be able to do it. This year I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. I was so nervous and I was really scared. It was almost a sick to your stomach feeling. Putting on the pads for the first time was awkward because I did not know how to run or play in them.” Growing up, Emmerling always watched football with her dad on Sundays. This is where her love for football initially started. She was the only one in her house to watch it with him. After the games she remembers occasionally going outside and throwing the football with him. Her dad never wanted her playing for the high school because football is such a dangerous sport, especially given her position: offensive lineman. With the pressure of a heavy physical contact position, she knows the possible consequences of being hit the wrong way. Despite that, Emmerling stays motivated to prove that she can play and not to fear the possible injuries of football. The team supports and treats Emmerling just like any one “of the guys.” It’s as if the boys don’t recognize there is a girl out there playing with them. Even from the stands, Emmerling’s presence is no different from the other members of the team, until the ponytail hanging out of the helmet becomes visible. The team doesn’t see her as different because she is a girl. No matter her gender, she is just another player on the team, and

that’s how they treat her. Emmerling feels totally comfortable with the team, believing she never had a moment where she felt different. They have accepted her and that helps create the bond on the team even more special. “It’s amazing to be able to be apart of the team,” Emmerling said. “It was different, but a good different. They accepted me and treated me like one of the guys.” However, being a girl in a sport believed to be for guys does come with one key difficulty. “Initially we had some concerns with always getting her a locker room,” said Glashagel. “Whenever we go to an away game everyone is always so supportive and knowing that we have to take care of her first to make sure she has a place to change. All those other little things you take for granted with having an all-boys team.” Howe sees Emmerling’s challenges as non-existent. Rather, he sees her constantly progressing and proving she deserves recognition for her success. As for the future of girls playing football, Emmerling hopes some may have the courage to initially come out for football. Many girls may want to play, but are too intimidated to try it out. “I think and hope more girls will come out,” Emmerling said. “Girls always come up to me and ask me about being the girl on the football team. I hope to inspire others to play.” Loving a sport is sometimes all it takes. Emmerling motivates herself to train and work hard each and everyday because she loves the game of football. This makes a female playing in a male dominated sport more realistic. TT

MOMENTS

Sequoits share some defining memories of the past season. PAIGE GRUBER

aybe it was a goal made seconds before the whistle. Or maybe they beat the opposing team they were not so confident about playing last week. Whatever it may be, teams within Antioch Community High School experienced some memorable moments throughout their fall season. Rolando Vazquez said a peak moment for the varsity soccer team was a game against their rival. “A top moment the team has had this season would have to be being up 3-0 against Lakes,” Vazquez said. The team fought strongly against the Eagles, and even though ACHS ended up tying with LCHS, Vazquez claimed they competed with great effort. “Unfortunately we did tie, but the first half we played very well and finished our chances,” he said. For the cheer team, a defining moment for them was not in the gym or on the field. The team took on the task of volunteering with the non-profit organization Feed My Starving Children. They worked together and bonded while in the end packing 59 boxes of food for those who may be in need of meals. “It was a team bonding experience for us and we got to give our time to an amazing cause,” senior Andi Leineberg said. Tennis claimed two significant moments this season, the first winning the school’s first IHSA Sectional Championship, and doing so on home court. The other arrived early in the season in the team’s highly anticipated match against Woodlands Academy. “Woodlands Academy has a reputation for being good, so it was a little nerve-wracking going into it at first,” said senior Anna Arden. However, the tennis team swept the match with a 7-0 score, a great way to start off their season. Field hockey faced an intense game against Highland Park, which kept a steady score of 0-0 for the entirety of the game. The team proceeded to overtime and again, the 0-0 score continued. The next step: a shut out. Five players took turns facing the goalie while the team held their breath as the opposing team tried to take a shot at the goal. Sabrina Long made ACHS’s first goal, which put the team ahead 1-0. This was also their first goal of the season. Goalie Rebekah Cartlidge also blocked all five of Highland Park’s shots. “It was one of the most suspenseful moments of my life,” senior Abbie Lubkeman said. “The game was so close. The team really came together to get the win.” Over the summer, the ACHS dance team swept up all kinds of awards at Northern Illinois University for an annual camp with the

Universal Dance Association. According to freshman Ella Gruber, the team brought home the Super Spirit Stick for showing compassion to other teams and being motivated an excited for camp everyday. The team also received the Superior Award and a Full-Out award for their over all performances at UDA. On top of that, each member on the team was rewarded with blue ribbons for their camp dances they learned over the week.

SHE’S NOT YOUR AVERAGE WATER BOY

Senior Julia Emer gets to experience the Friday Night Lights in a totally different way from the rest of the Cardinal Crazies. Along with six others, Emer gets to be on the sidelines with team.

star player, a talented coaching staff, and cohesive members; a great team cannot exist without these ingredients. But although these things may seem like all that is needed to succeed, there is one behind-the-scenes factor in every successful team: a hard working manager. Whether it is volleyball, basketball, or, in this case, football, dedicated managers are needed to do the “dirty work” for the team. Senior Julia Emer, just one of the seven managers for the varsity football team, knows firsthand the struggles (and rewards) of being a manager for a sports team. A team is built through hours of excruciating practice, and the manager is no exception to that. With a team of 50 players and only seven managers, there is always something to be done. “On a regular day at practice, I’m constantly busy,” Emer said. “I’m filling waters for the defensive and offensive lines. Not all seven managers are always there either, so we have to do a lot more day to day.” But managers don’t just stop after practices. Emer was with the team when they started conditioning this summer, and is still with them through every win and loss that the season brings. “On game nights, there is so much going on,” Emer said. “[The managers] all really have to work together to get stuff done. We still fill waters and run and get things that the coaches or players need.” For doing as much as they do, managers often go unrecognized for the work they put in. It’s not often that one hears someone talking about a great manager, and there certainly is no “Manager of the Month” competition at Buffalo Wild Wings like there is for every other sport. For Emer though, the only recognition she needs is the respect from her peers on the football team.

18 Tom Tom October 2015

“A lot of the football players didn’t like me before I was the manager, but I’ve gained a lot of respect and I really feel like part of the team,” said Emer. “There are times when [the players] disrespect me and I have to deal with their jokes, but at the end of the day I am always respected as their manager both on the field, and away at school.” Even though the efforts of a sports manager may not be seen by the outside world, the members of the team which they help day in and day out recognize and appreciate everything their managers do. “Julia is a very important member of our team,” senior Tommy Howe said, “She does a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff, like filming our practices, that a lot of people don’t know about. Everything our team does would not run nearly as smooth without Julia and the other managers.” When it’s your job to make a whole team run smoothly, it might seem like being a manager is all work and no play. Long practices and games, filling water bottles, taking film and having to do all the thankless tasks doesn’t exactly seem like the ideal way to spend one’s summer and fall. Anyone who is a sports manager, though, knows that this dirty work is not as bad as it seems, and that being a manager has its rewards. “I love being around the football team, and it makes being a manager enjoyable,” Emer said. “I didn’t know a lot of them before and now I’ve made so many fun memories with them, like when I got to ride on the float at the homecoming parade. I was so happy.” While enduring the hours of practices and the stress of long game nights might be draining work, the experience and rewards of being a manager outweigh all the struggles. “Being a manager has been such a fun new experience and a great way to meet new people and get involved,” said Emer. “It’s the best way to get to be on the football team.” TT


BREAKING TACKLES & BONES NATHAN BORRIES Senior Editor

W

eek after week athletes find themselves sitting on the table facing one of the school’s trainers. Is it broken? Do I have a concussion? Will I be able to go back out there for another kick, another down, another hit? For the Sequoits, three injuries in particular kept them out of sports and all wrapped up.

SHIN SPLINTS

A runners’ worst nightmare, shin splints are a part of many athletes’ experiences. The sharp pain shooting up the inside of the lower leg is an obstacle for many athletes. “It is very hard to prevent shin splints but a few tips to take are correct conditioning before your season starts: warming up and stretching before every event, changing your footwear in the correct amount of time and also changing the surface and direction of running if you are a long distance runner,” athletic trainer Allison Hrasch said, Shin splints are common in runners, especially on the cross-country team. Junior Allison Smith, a captain of the cross-country team, fights through the same pain each season. “Shin splints feel like a dull pain that is all up and down your shin bone mainly while running, but it can eventually start hurting,” Smith said. “While not being able to run, I was able to put my best foot forward by supporting and cheering on my teammates, which helped me still feel like I was helping out the team.”

CONCUSSION

With subtle symptoms of headaches and sluggishness, concussions are hard to see. The best way to be sure of a concussion-free collision is to check with a doctor or athletic trainer. “The best way to prevent concussions is safe play in all sports and activities, wearing correct headgear and mouth gear and not altering your equipment, learning how to tackle properly in football, and reporting any unusual headaches or concussion-like symptoms to your athletic trainer or doctor,” Hrasch said. As concussions are common in football, many student athletes have trouble on and off the field. Varsity football player,junior John Howe experienced one recently. “My concussion makes me completely exhausted all the time with pounding headaches,” Howe said. “It is also hard to focus during the school day. I feel like I let down my team, however at this point I can’t really do anything about it. All I can do is rest and hope for the best.”

SPRAINED ANKLE

Common among many sports, ankle sprains differ on severeness and recovery time. Cheerleaders, in particular, find themselves with the symptoms of a sprained ankle: swelling of the outside ankle bone and possible bruising. Senior cheerleader Andi Leineberg found herself with a sprain during the beginning of the 2015-2016 cheer season. “For me, [the ankle sprain] was a real struggle to deal with,” Leineberg said. “It is sort of like a tugging pain that just hurts more the more pressure added to it. Since it’s not a major injury, I think many try to push through to not let their team down. If it becomes painful, I think your teammates would understand if you took it easy. [A sprained ankle] is just something more to deal with during a tough season.” In order to present sprained ankles, there is little to do other than strengthening that particular part of the body. “To prevent sprained ankles, go through your course or field and look for any divots or holes that you may step in,” Hrasch said. “Also, wearing proper footwear that fits your foot correctly and is tied correctly for your sports can help.” TT The Fall Sports Issue

CHARACTER 20 Tom Tom October 2015


A select group of individuals can proudly say they wear a captain’s “C” on their jerseys or arms. This letter doesn’t reflect average like it would on a paper or a test. This letter is about so much more: responsibility, dedication and character. This letter means captain. NICKLAUS ANDRE Tom Tom Staff

hile coaches receive most of the credit when their teams do well, they are only a part of a well-rounded, successful team. One of the most important aspects of a team sport is the leadership by the players, on and off the field. It is up to the coaches whether they get to choose or have the players choose an athlete or athletes to take on a higher leadership role. Taking on this responsibility is referred to what many know as a captain. Being a captain comes with many responsibilities, high expectations and difficulties. Meanwhile, when they have that to focus on, they have to keep their composure and step up to the plate when things go downhill. Being a captain is not for everyone. Some athletes have natural leadership qualities, but do not want the title. Others eat, sleep, and repeat their sports everyday and would do anything that would benefit their team and take pride in doing so. “Being a captain is an honor, as a captain you get to represent your team and it shows everyone the leadership the person possesses for the coaches to make him/her a captain,” varsity soccer captain Daniel Brito said. Brito, being a first-year captain, has played on varsity throughout his high school career. Him stepping up as freshman and continuing to do so through his senior year gives him a solid understanding of the mechanics behind running a varsity sport, as well as the knowledge he needs to take on a bigger role for his team. Being a leader comes with great responsibility. It is up to the captains to make sure teammates always stay on task and stay disciplined in the classroom or on the field. With this responsibility comes many difficulties down the road. Receiving the honor of being named a captain means acting like it too. In other words, don’t just talk the talk, be ready and able to walk the walk. Senior Griffin Hill is the captain of the varsity football team. He started on varsity his sophomore year and has been surrounded by discipline, teamwork and leadership his entire life. He is also a former youth football player. “Some of the difficulties include being the person to say no to things like parties and trying to get the team to do the same,” Hill said. “Also, you can get blamed if the team isn’t doing what is expected of them.” Hill realizes that sometimes he has to be the bad cop in the situation. That being said, he understands that even if the player/players disagree with him, it is in his best interest for the team. Whether Hill decides to take an extreme action, like informing the coach or even the school itself, or puts it in his own hands and talk with whoever is involved is up to him, he knows its important as the captain to think smart. Even though he may not like taking those actions, it comes with the responsibilities he has inherited through the title he was given.

Anyone that has ever participated in a competitive sport or activity knows that practice is very important to building team chemistry and making sure everything runs smoothly, but on some occasions, practice may get a little chippy and argumentative, which is up to the captains to settle those players down. Captains are expected to lead and set a positive tone early for practice. Brito, being in a sport where chemistry is very important because of having to know where his teammates are at all times said, “what’s expected of us as captains at practice is to show a good example. We start warm ups, lead in drills, set good examples, and stay positive to all players on and off the field. If someone messes up, it’s my job to make sure they don’t get too down on themselves, or if things are getting heated at practice, to calm things down between teammates. Being a captain in practice, you try to make everyone better by pushing them to be the best the can be.” While Brito is right about leading the practices and making sure by the end of the day everyone got a little better, what happens outside of normal practice is just as important. Senior Brittany Bluthardt, captain of the varsity dance team, goes above and beyond by devoting her time and effort into the team outside of their normal practice hours. She believes that dedication and giving support to your team are the two most important responsibilities a captain can possess. “Captains have to spend a lot of time outside of practice to be sure the team is running smoothly and to its best ability,” said Bluthardt. Captains need to put in the extra work outside of practice to make sure that everything is on track and that everyone on the team knows what they are doing, so if they don’t, they can help their teammates be successful. Being a captain comes with many much needed traits and while the most important may seem to be able to naturally lead others, having good character is one of the top on that list. It isn’t always about what people see, it’s about what happens behind the scenes. Senior Alexis Duehr, captain of the varsity field hockey team, knows how much character is a big part of being a captain. “You have to make good choices outside of school and do your homework so other kids will hopefully follow your path and always pick the right thing to do because you’re always being watched by someone whether it’s your teammates or your coaches,” Duehr said. Captains are left with many responsibilities that are important for the team to be successful and to make sure that everything is running smoothly. While captains take the majority of the criticism when the team isn’t doing well, they face a variety of difficulties throughout their season. No matter what the problem is, with the great leadership qualities they have, this doesn’t take their mind off of the team’s goal and doesn’t stand in their way from overcoming the difficulties they face. Captains can’t be responsible for everyone’s actions on the team or control the skill level those players possess, yet they try to lead by example hoping that their teammates will make the right decisions and set the bar high to challenge them to focus on being the best they can possibly be.

Being a captain is an honor. As a captain you get to represent your team and show everyone your leadership skills.

THE GAME BEFORE THE GAME Flags and dances and ribbons, oh my. Sequoits prepare for competitions and games in a variety of ways, but these traditions stand out most. KRISTINA ESDALE & ALEXANDER RUANO Print Director & Tom Tom Staff

F

rom team bonding and cheers to personal superstitions, Antioch Community High School fall sports have a variety of different pregame rituals. No matter what the ritual is, they all rely on strengthening the mindset of the individuals and the team going into battle with another school.

VOLLEYBALL

The Band-Aid inspirations with ribbons and encouraging notes have been a superstition for the volleyball team for over 10 years. Varsity girls would place a certain themed Band-Aid on their hip and a ribbon in their hair to match the theme. The theme of the Band-Aid and ribbon would have an encouraging saying along with them. “We could get a sparkly ribbon, Starburst, and outer space Band-Aids and then would give a little pregame talk to motivate the rest of the team,” said Sequoit alumna Abigail McIlhany. “The slogan for this example might be something like shoot for the stars or we can go to infinity and beyond; something kind of cheesy like that, but inspiring.” Although the team is unaware of who started this pre-game ritual, it is still a huge part of the girls varsity team to this day. The Band-Aids, ribbons and slogans have always been a sign of team unity and bonding. The simple things in life affected the players in many ways from encouraging and pumping them up for a big game, to many cherished memories. McIlhany remembers how some girls would keep the Band-Aids and ribbons as a reminder for what the team accomplished. The volleyball team’s pre-game rituals not only unite them as a team and give them the strength to bond together, but it is also a seemingly unique Antioch tradition.

CROSS COUNTRY

With their minds focused and hearts racing, the cross country team huddles up ready for that last push of encouragement. The 2015 boys and girls cross country teams found a new way to motivate their members before every race.

22 Tom Tom October 2015

JOHNNY HORTON Antioch Varsity Cheerleaders chant along with the Cardinal Crazies to pump up the football team in last Friday’s game against the Wauconda Bulldogs.

“Cheering is something new we do before every varsity race; it gets everyone pumped up and is very effective,” said senior captain Tyler Glassman. This new pre-game ritual of cheers before races was started by the captains from both the boys and girls teams. Although the teams have separate cheers, the boys and girls both motivate one another by cheering before each other’s race. Another addition to the cross country teams new cheer is waving the Sequoit flag before every race. The flag is a symbol of school spirit and team unity. It brings a sense of pride and motivation to the runners to spark their energy before the gun. The graduating seniors hope future cross country teams will continue this new pregame tradition.

DANCE TEAM

Being a tradition since the 90s, the varsity dance team’s chant is one of the oldest of all of the fall sports. Every year, the girls add on a new, short sequence to their ritual. From inside jokes to sentimental memories during the season, the chant has become a good luck charm before performing at every game and competition. Aside from the one big group chant, individual chants are passed down


throughout the years. Seniors Anna Locklear and Brianna Chastain start the “Are you ready to rock?” chant before every performance, which was handed down to them, as well as certain speeches and handshakes. “I’d have to say my favorite thing about our pregame chants is when the whole team stands in a circle and we all get to yell the chant as a whole,” saud junior Morgan Balleza. “It’s so motivating and makes us feel close as a team, too.”

CHEERLEADING

CHRIS BEDOLLA

The day before the varsity cheer team competes, they do multiple things to prepare for the upcoming day. The night before consists of team bonding that includes a team dinner, watching a movie, and doing their teammates hair in order to be up bright and early the next morning for competition. “Our rituals really bring us together as a team,” said junior Alexa Castino. “Often times, it is easy for us to lose sight of our goal as a team and our reason for cheering. Having rituals and traditions solidifies our unity and helps us feel like a family.” When they arrive at the destination of the competition, the cheerleaders gather together when they are “in the hole,” or up next to perform, and one of the girls will say a prayer as they wait to to take the floor. “Before an intense competition or performance, coming together as a team is vital for success,” Castino said. The prayer is just one ritual that is necessary before competing to get each other pumped up and excited to perform in front of the crowd. The girls need support and encouragement from one another in order to have faith in themselves to be the best they can be. “At the end of the day, our traditions help to hold us together as one team and one family,” Castino said. Although not all pre-game rituals are the same, ACHS holds onto its traditions and continues to create more for future Sequoits to come. TT

BOYS IN BLUE

Nearly two decades ago, the Sequoits took to the ice as their own ice hockey team, which was ultimately dissolved. After years of trying to reform, and a former partnership with Grayslake was rekindled, the Sequoits now dress in a different color to play the sport they’ve grown up loving to play more than anything else.

he sound of crisp and smooth ice under their skates, dressed in full pads and stick in hand. It’s the calm before the storm. Lacing up their skates, slipping on their gloves and strapping their helmets on; the boys in blue hit the ice at their home rink, the Recplex Center alongside players from four other charter schools. Before the Lakers Hockey Club was created, the Ramquoit program was another program that drew athletes together from different parts of the county about ten years ago to play hockey. The Ramquoits were made up of Antioch and Grayslake High School students. ACHS had a program back in the 90s, coached by math teacher Larry Kamin, but lost it due to budget cuts. “As the assistant athletic director, I attempted to reinstate ice hockey as a school program back in the late 90s, but the parents and the athletes wanted to have the athletes play on the high school team along with a club team,” Athletic Director Steve Schoenfelder said. “The schools in the league we were attempting to form, did not want for teams to do that, so we ended up not creating a team.” Four years ago the Lakers Hockey Club was created when the schools wanted to expand the former Ramquoits club. When not enough players showed up to form a team, the coaches opened tryouts to Antioch, Grayslake North, Grayslake Central, Grant, Lakes and Zion players. Between the JV and varsity teams, 15 boys attend ACHS. Although, sharing the rink with rival schools, bonds have formed between the 37 boys. “Even though all of us are from different schools, we are all brothers,” senior and JV hockey player Zane Johnson said. “We’re all connected at heart and have each other’s back no matter what.” The bond has grown nothing but stronger the past three years, which has seemingly helped them as they started off their season right with a 6-1 record. Along with a successful season, the boys set personal goals for themselves to accomplish throughout the season. “I do really hope for a captain position,” senior and varsity

player Nick Byczek said. “I play defense and have been on the team since my freshman year. Being captain would be the highlight of my senior year.” In his six years of playing hockey, Byczek played for the Pleasant Prairie Patriots at the RecPlex before entering high school and joining the Lakers. “Being part of this team is a great and new experience. I do hope that the Lakers become part of the school one day, but the experience is different and I like it,” Byczek said. “I like the competition and drive we all have to win and that we’re all from different schools. It’s cool to see us all come together for one thing.” Alongside Byczek, junior Warren Sundt has been playing on varsity for two years. He started playing hockey at the age of two and played ever since. Sundt hopes to takes the road to state this year and after all the long hours spent at practice on Mondays and Tuesdays, this dream doesn’t seem too far out of reach. A typical practice for the varsity players begins at 9 p.m., which is much different than other high school sports that typically end around 6 p.m. The Lakers spend what they see as all night at the rink to practice personal skills. The JV team practices are earlier in the night, but consist of the same drills and skills. “A practice usually depends on the way we played in the game before that practice,” said Johnson. “We usually start with skating and warming up. Then we start with the things that we need to improve like breaking out the puck and doing break aways, power plays and penalty kills.” The sight of one’s own breath, cuddled under a blanket watching the boys in blue every weekend is typical for a fan of the Lakers. Located at the RecPlex Center in Kenosha the boys have games every weekend against teams from across the state. “I wish our team was part of the school so that more people would come out and support us at our games,” said Byczek. The idea of the team becoming part of the school is a dream for these ice hockey players, but because of the school’s budget, the likelihood of the Lakers or any other ice hockey team to the school’s athletic program any time soon is unlikely.

You’re running up and down the sideline yelling, but you are still struggling to be heard. Standing at just 5-feet tall, you have to push your way past the high school boys to see the game. And now you are bothered by the other coaches and referees looking at you differently during the coin toss.

arni Polakow is a female coach in a sport dominated by male coaches; she is the only female head soccer coach in the entire conference, both in boys and girls soccer, as well as the only female head coach of 27 boys soccer teams in the area. On top of that, Polakow is only one of three female coaches for boys soccer in the entire state. Even in today’s society, as gender roles and ideas seemingly are shifting, she feels it makes a huge difference. Polakow faces issues of sexism in her coaching job daily, whether it be by players, referees, or other coaches. “I think as a female you have to earn the players’ respect, because in this society unfortunately women are looked down upon still in many different work and sports environments,” Polakow said. “I think the boys, regardless of their ability level, think that they know more and that they might be more skilled than me. I had to jump in, play some drills with them, show them my skills, give them my background, and slowly as we started to succeed, they started to believe.” Polakow has built a reputation for herself as a tough, respectable female coach that all the boys see they can trust. Her players know she’s good at her job, which is evident by her reaching 100 wins in her career this year, and although she may see the differences between being a male and female coach for a boys sport, the players do not. “Coach P is a very committed coach—she’s always finding new drills and pushing us to do our best, just like any male coach,” senior captain Jordan Keller said. “I don’t think having a female coach is any different from having a male coach.” Aside from the players, Polakow also has to face the other coaches and referees. When some of the men in the conference have done their jobs longer

than Polakow has even played, they are a more difficult group to win over than her boys or girls on her teams. “I think other coaches are often shocked by the fact that I’m a female,” said Polakow. “I’ve watched many coaches scream and yell and scream and yell and never get said one word to, but because I’m a woman and I raise my voice, they think they have to come over and put me in my place, and it happens too often.” It’s not just the coaches who seem perplexed by Polakow’s presence on the soccer field. “I’ve had referees say to me, ‘Wow, a woman coaching boys, I’ve never seen a woman coaching varsity sports before.’” Because Polakow is a female and all of the boys soccer referees are male, she feels like she is often treated differently: getting yelled at more, receiving dirty looks when she yells, and even having her boys reffed against when she gets too into the game. “The refs definitely feel attacked by me; they feel that they have to prove themselves, that they’re the man in the situation, and I do think that my boys are affected by it because I am a woman,” said Polakow. “I’ve tried for many years to overcome it. I definitely still think we’re reffed against because I’m a female and because these men have to prove that they’re the alpha on the field” As the only female coach in the boys soccer conference, she sees the impact on how her team as a whole is treated. In conference meetings, she has to fight for her team to get the recognition they deserve because “the girl coach’s team” is often overlooked. “I’m sitting in a room with men who have been coaching much longer than I have—I almost have to brag a little bit and make my voice get heard for them to respect me,” said Polakow. “If I just sat there, they would never respect me, and I think that does have to do with the fact that I’m a woman.” On the other side of the spectrum is the head coach of the boys tennis team, Jamie D’Andrea. In boys tennis, it is not unusual to have a female coach, and it is because of this that D’Andrea feels she deals with less adversity than some other female coaches. Similar to Polakow, D’Andrea feels she went through an initial proving period with her players, but after that it was hardly different from coaching a girls sport. “What’s more meaningful is whether or not the coach knows what he/she is talking about,” D’Andrea said. “In my mind, it doesn’t matter what gender the coach is, it matters if he/she knows what the sport entails, what it takes to play the sport, and how to teach the different skills.” D’Andrea even goes as far as to say that being a female coach for boys tennis has its advantages. She sees tennis as a largely mental sport, and that sometimes it takes a female’s words of wisdom to get a

GRANT HAIDER

player in the right mental playing state. “There were a lot of kids who need to exercise their mental strength, so I think from that advantage I was able to, as a female, come in and talk them off that ledge and discuss what they needed to do mentally to make sure they were prepared for the next point,” D’Andrea said. Both coaches can agree that being a female coach for a boys sport has its advantages and disadvantages, but daring to break the glass ceiling is definitely worth it. Many young girls at ACHS view these coaches as an inspiration for all the work they do—coaching and fighting issues of potential gender discrimination. “I think that young girls need to be inspired by somebody just like them, that went through the same things they did, that will go through the same things that they did, that they can ask questions to, that they can know everything’s going to be okay,” said Polakow. “I think it’s great that I can inspire some people because there is not nearly enough women out there coaching and playing sports to inspire people.” TT

WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO

BREAK YOUR BACK BY HOLDEN TACKETT AS TOLD TO LAUREN SLACK

I remember thinking I wasn’t going to move again. I remember thinking I was paralyzed. Freshman year nerves kicked in fast for me. I knew that school work was going to be hard, especially since you can’t slack off in high school like I was able to do in middle school. I was nervous, but I was really excited for everything high school had to offer. Football and making new friends was what I was looking forward to the most; I love to branch out and meet new people. I was more nervous for football than school because of my size. I didn’t know what to expect, or know what I was getting into by playing football. Even though I was nervous, everyone I talked to said playing football in high school was the best time of their lives. Little did I know, my football experience was going to be cut short. It was the first day of school and we just got out; I was going to football practice. We were doing some hitting drills, but we hadn’t really done any yet. We lined up and I paired up with Devin Scott, and that’s when it happened. I don’t blame him, but it was just the person it happened with. He was running the ball and I was suppose to be tackling him. We went straight up and he nailed me. I hit the ground hard. When the impact first happened, I flew back, slamming my back into the cold, hard ground. Everything went completely blank in an instant, and I heard a piercing ringing in my ears and felt the shivering tingling sensation through

28 Tom Tom October 2015

my shoulders, all the way to the ends of my fingertips. A lot of tingling, which they said was a side effect of a hit like that one. A lot of people thought I was paralyzed, but then I was able to slowly get back up. I tried to walk, and it got really bad. The hit knocked the wind out of me; I was gasping and struggling to breathe. I realized my lungs collapsed. I knew when I tried to get up that it was more than just that. After I caught my breath, I felt my back really starting to bother me. I tried to walk again. That made it worse, so I laid back down. It was freezing; I was shivering. They put this blanket over me as I could hear the ambulance coming. I heard an earsplitting screech into the parking lot, and my friends said my mom had completely flew into the lot. She was with me and kept telling me, “I’m here. I’m here with you.” My teammates that were with me were trying to help calm me down. When I was being lifted into the ambulance, the last thing I heard was my friend Tyson saying, “We love you, Holden.” I’m afraid of needles, so when they had to put the IV in me I was even more terrified. The medicine flowed into my veins; I could feel the icy rush into my bloodstream. My arm then went numb and I passed out. It was my T8 vertebrae in my back, and all the pieces of my vertebrae had compressed into my T8 and made it crack. If it had shattered and splintered into my nerve, I wouldn’t have been able to use my legs and I would’ve had to have surgery. I stayed in the hospital for a couple

nights because I had to get MRIs and talk to tons of doctors. When I went home, I didn’t have a brace yet so I couldn’t stand or walk for more than 15 minutes at a time. I had to stay laying down for what felt like forever. Now that I have my brace, I’m back to walking and standing. I have to wear the brace at all times until I can function without it. It doesn’t hurt at all with the brace on, the only time it hurts is if I’m standing without it or sitting without it. The worst is when I have to take showers, because I have to stand with it off. I’m done with football for the rest of this year, and hopefully I can come back next year to play. My mom is worried about the thought of me playing, but who’s mom wouldn’t be? It’s stressful having an injury because you can’t play your sport. It’s exciting watching my teammates play, but I want to play. I never blamed Devin; I think he thinks I did, but I never blamed him. He still apologizes constantly. I want to play again; I want to play really bad, especially while watching games. Watching makes you want to play more than ever before. My injury affected so many parts of my life, especially considering the fact that I could’ve lost the privilege to walk. Luckily, my injury wasn’t one that harmed my abilities, but it came very close to it. Even though I’m still struggling with recovery, I think about how blessed I am that I can continue to grow and keep moving. TT
