Fentonian Senior portrait, proud parent ad deadlines approaching fast FENTONIAN STAFF ERIN KAYE

College Must-Do’s Seven things college bound seniors must do this month EDITOR-IN-CHIEF SHEALYN MANDLE

1. Research colleges you want to attend

Once you have some colleges in mind, you need to decide which one is right for you. Researching the school’s website or even physically going to the campus can help a lot.Whether it’s the number of people, the size or the best choice for you career-wise, researching is always a good idea.

2. Check the B-Day Bulletin for college visits

In every B-Day bulletin there is a section for college visits during the week. This is where a representative from a college/university comes to our school and invites any student considering the college to come to the meeting (usually in the counseling room) and listen to them speak. This is another great way to get to know a college.

3. Figure out if you will need to set up an account for financial aid

Talk to your parents and your counselors to figure out what you will need to do to apply for financial aid.

4. Start applying to colleges if you haven’t already done so

If you are planning on attending a college and have not applied yet, it’s time to do so. The earlier the better. You do not want to be put on a waiting list or even denied because you applied too late. Go online to the college website and fill out an application today. (Remember there usually is an application fee).

5. Begin filling out scholarships

It is important to start filling out scholarships (at least once a month) in order to get that extra money. Ask your counselor for the scholarship packet or go online to the counseling page to start filling them out. The more money you can get will make college payments easier.

For the 2016 Fentonian, this year will be “Like No Other.” For the class of 2016 it will include their senior portraits. In addition, the yearbook staff will be including more of the Aurasma app in the book. It will still be featured through senior quotes that accompany the individual photos, sports and activity videos, as well as an option in Proud Parent Ads. If seniors wish to submit a portrait not taken on school picture day, it must be turned in by Nov. 4. Seniors who do not send in a portrait by this date will have their photo that was taken on school picture in the yearbook instead. The portrait specifications sheet is available on the Fenton High School website under the parent/student tab. “It’s important all seniors submit their portraits by Nov. 4,” Editor-In Chief Michael Fabatz said. “This is crucial because we have transitioned from a fall delivery book to a spring delivery book for the first time. In order to ensure all seniors receive their book before graduation, we have to be strict with our deadlines Any delays in submitting pages to our printing company will result in a later ship date.” New this year, is the option for parents who purchase a Proud Parent Ad to have a short video or film clip featured with the ad. These will be accessible through the app Aurasma. Order forms for theses are available online under the parent/student tab on the Fenton High School website. “Although the students and parents were introduced to Aurasma last year, this year we will be incorporating it more,” Editor-In-Chief Hannah Swain said. “We are going to increase the number of Aurasma videos used in the book, so we’ve included a Video Crew on our staff. Part of the greater use of Aurasma videos will be in the Proud Parent Ads. Our staff members, as well as outside help, have incorporated a new twist on the Aurasma videos that will capture our time spent in high school through a lens like no other.”

InPrint Staff introduces Aurasma app ONLINE ASSITANT EDITOR TESS DEGAYNER and OPINION EDITOR CARLY RIGGS

To improve interactive coverage, both the InPrint and Fentonian staffs have started using the app called Aurasma. This app allows publications to create a link that connects with a trigger image on the page. It then takes you to videos, slideshows, three dimensional photos and podcasts that relate to the printed story or image. Follow these steps to view the InPrint’s first video!

6. Retake ACT to improve your score

1. Download the FREE app Aurasma and create your own account 2. Follow @FentonInPrint 3. Look for the IP icon that will indicate that there is an interactive option 4. Hold your smartphone over the picture closest to the icon. Within seconds you will see the app working; it’s magic!

7. Don’t stress out, enjoy your last year

*If it does not activate hold the page down on a solid surface then re-position your phone.

A lot of colleges will give out money based on ACT scores. One extra point could get you an extra $2,000. Talk to your counselor or go online to check the next test date. Get studying! If you any have questions or concerns, set up a meeting with a counselor. They are there to help.

NHS will host the first blood drive of the year this month WRITER TED GRAVES

The American Red Cross will host a blood drive during school on Oct. 27. The Fenton National Honor Society, sponsored by chemistry teacher Charles Miller, coordinates the time and setup of the drive and recruits donors prior to the event. “Every year NHS sponsors three

www.fentoninprint.com

blood drives to help the Red Cross supply hospitals across the nation with blood,” said Blood Drive Chair Michael Fabatz. “One pint can help save up to three lives, and it is used mostly in emergency situations. Last year we even received more than 280 pints of blood in donations.

Fenton High School typically receives 90-100 usable pints of blood through the student body, and this year we hope to exceed that quota.” In exchange for one pint of blood, donors will be given tokens for a free pint of ice cream provided by Culver’s in Fenton. The ice cream

tokens are an incentive for students who may be reluctant to give blood because of the drowsiness that accompanies blood drawing or donors who are afraid of needles but like free treats.

“My favorite Halloween memory is trick-or-treating with my dad when I was seven. It was the last year I lived in Brighton. He passed away in 2013 and I remember spending that Halloween with him. It’s one of my best memories I have of him.”

Photo Carly Riggs

Halloween, for the most part, is targeted at a younger audience. For women to be shamed into dressing up in revealing clothing is just wrong. With stores like Spirit Halloween, Halloween City and Halloween Express primarily offering reprehensible costumes for women, we are teaching the youth of America that objectifying females is acceptable. Just two short years ago, Wal-mart was forced to pull a toddler sized “naughty leopard” costume from its shelves. The company enraged the public by marketing young girls in a costume that had the word “naughty” on the package (and selling a costume that didn’t look anything like a leopard at all). Regardless of the retail store’s non-stop apologies, their actions were a perfect example of succumbing to American society’s cultural expectations of women. Having trouble finding a costume that covers you up, check out the guys section, dress as a giant whoopee cushion or a pun - who really cares. If you’re feeling the whole “Sexy Donald Trump” costume, go for it, I won’t judge (though I certainly don’t see the sex appeal of Donald Trump). All I ask is that you do not feel like you need to dress a certain way because of society’s expectations.

Ah, Halloween. The magical yearly occurrence in which the children of America are free to indulge in an endless amount of artificial sugar. At a certain point in one’s life, Halloween is a time of joy and excitement, regardless of the supposed horrors associated with it. However, as one ages, October 31 turns from one of the scariest days of the year to one of the sexiest. It is obvious that Halloween can be classified as a sexist holiday, but the real mystery lies in where this notion originated. While some could argue that dressing on the scandalous side is a choice females make consciously, it is undoubtedly the cultural expectations of our society that led to the idea women need to wear the least amount of clothes possible when celebrating Halloween. Believe me, there is nothing wrong with dressing like a sexy Big Bird for Halloween. The demand for these costumes is undoubtedly very high, seeing that year after year they only continue to overtake the shelves of women’s costumes in Halloween stores. Quite honestly, if one were to step in a Halloween store, they would have a difficult time finding a costume without the word sexy on it, especially when the small number of Halloween costumes without that label make the wearer resemble an overgrown toddler.

“I really liked trick-ortreating and going around with your friends when I was younger. I just enjoyed hanging out with them. My favorite candy is Milky Way, so I would always make them give me their Milky Way’s if they got some.”

“Going around to houses when my friends and I dressed up is my favorite memory. We would end up filling pillow cases to the very top with candy. My favorite candy is a Reese Peanut Butter Cup, so the best candy I ever received would probably be a king size one of those.”

Vivian Hyunh | sophomore

“I was trick-or-treating in 2007 and I went up to a porch and there was a coffin full of candy, and when I reached into the coffin to get some candy a guy popped out. I was so surprised that I peed myself.”

Skyler Koleda | freshman

“My best memory was when I got seven and a half pounds of candy in three hours. It was 2009 and I went as a Clone Trooper. I went trick-or-treating in Westland. It took a lot of running and a wagon to carry it all, but when I got home and weighed it I was super proud.”

Ellory Brickles | sophomore “When I was 10, I was trick-ortreating with my friend and as we were walking around our neighborhood a man jumped out of some bushes near us and scared my friend so badly that she dropped all of her candy.”

Un d er Pressure Standardized testing helps promote stress and bad choices

STAFF ED The staff selects a topic for each issue and votes to determine the direction the editorial will take. The majority rules and the editorial is written from that angle.

AT ISSUE Does the pressure of standardized testing increase stress and bad scholastic choices in students?

OUR VIEW Yes. The pressure of stan-

dardized testing increases stress and bad scholastic choices in students.

Agree: 22 Disagree: 1 Abstain: 1 www.fentoninprint.com

SAT, ACT, NMSQT, most kids recognize these capital letters and understand the worry related to them. These letters represent standardized tests that are given to students in most high schools in America. With the ability to affect the future of each student, these tests should encompass every aspect of a student’s thought development, many different types of intelligence and overall human nature, right? Wrong. These tests measure other things. Overall, standardized tests measure intelligence, comprehension and basic understanding of core academic areas. These tests cannot measure key components that help determine a student’s success. Skills like creativity, critical thinking, courage, compassion, resourcefulness, honesty and integrity need to be taken into account more than just basic intelligence. Tests can have a negative effect on both the physical and emotional state of students. Standardized tests can increase student’s stress and anxiety, not just related to the actual tests, but also related to the other school work or extracurricular activities that are often neglected while studying for these tests. According to education researcher Gregory J. Cizek, anecdotes abound “illustrating how testing... produces gripping anxiety in even the brightest students, and makes young children vomit, cry, or both.” On March 14, 2002, the Sacramento Bee reported that “test-related jitters, especially among young students, are so common that the Stanford-9 exam comes with instructions on what to do with a test booklet in case a student vomits on it.” Cheating on tests and general schoolwork can also be a result of standardized

testing. The Josephson Institute Center for Youth Ethics surveyed 43,000 high school students in public and private schools and found that 59 percent of high school students admitted to cheating on a test during the 2014 school year and 34 percent reported doing it more than two times. Other negative choices students make include taking drugs that are supposed to help them focus. Research conducted by the University of Maine found that the number of students who have taken a recreational drug like Adderall before taking a high-stakes test has increased by 63 percent in the last five years. This is a dangerous risk to take in order to remember material, finish other school work or focus on a high-stakes test. The use of standardized tests skyrocketed after 2002s No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) mandated annual testing in all 50 states. The premise behind the NCLB act was that all students would reach proficiency or better levels of achievement, which, it hasn’t. US students slipped from 18th in the world in math in 2000 to 31st place in 2009. There is also a decline in science and no change in reading. Many colleges have even decided to drop standardized tests all together, saying that “their use promotes a narrow curriculum and drill-like ‘teaching to the test.’” Negative behaviors are promoted by the use of standardized tests because of a student’s need to succeed. Their focus is taken away from other school work resulting in stress, cheating and bad choices. This contradicts the purpose of testing in the first place.

Favorite Fall TV shows WRITER DEVON MANN

Writer Olivia Diesch

“Scream Queens”

My favorite TV show coming out this fall is “Scream Queens” on Fox. It’s a brand new show created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. It’s set on a fictional college campus, with a bunch of girls living in a sorority house. There’s a killer loose on the campus, and the girls start to be killed off one by one. It’s about the girls trying to stay alive and catch the killer. Emma Roberts, Ariana Grande, Abigail Breslin, Nick Jonas, Jamie Lee Curtis are all in it. It’s on every Tuesday, 8/7 p.m.

“Vampire Diaries”

Festivities offer different way

My favorite TV show coming back this fall is “Vampire Diaries.” It’s returning for the seventh time this season. The show is about a girl named Elena who lives in a small town and falls in love with the Salvatore brothers. The town, Mystic Falls, is overrun with supernatural beings such as vampires, werewolves and witches. I like it because there is something surprising every episode. There’s a lot of drama and my favorite actor Ian Somerhalder stars in the show. Every time I talk about him I cry. I have two phone cases with his face on it. The show is on every Thursday at 8 p.m.

WRITER EVA BENORE

Halloween is a day of expression. It can be celebrated in a variety of ways; dressing up in costumes, going out to get some candy, watching scary movies with your besties, or going to a Halloween bash. “This year I am going to dress up as an army soldier,” sophomore Jacob Palmiter said. “My father is a veteran and I think dressing up is a really cool way to express my gratitude toward him; that is what inspired my Halloween costume.” Besides dressing up to celebrate Halloween, another festivity that a number of people do is go door-to-door seeking all sorts of candy by trick-or-treating. “Normally on Halloween, I go out trick-ortreating with my clique,” sophomore Jillian Molyneaux said. “Once I get home, I trade any of the Almond Joy candy bars I have collected because I don’t like the coconut. I will eat around one third of the bag then watch

Writer Devon Mann

“Reign”

My favorite show coming back is “Reign” on the CW. It’s returning for a third season this fall. It’s a historical drama show. It’s about the early years of Mary, Queen of Scotland. As a teenage monarch, Mary lives in France and is married to the King of France. She faces political and emotional intrigue as she navigates the perils of French Court. She must rule as Queen of France and protect her own kingdom of Scotland. I love how the show covers real historical events and adds their own twist to it. It’s interesting to get a glimpse into medieval life. It’s almost like going back in time and watching the events unfold for the first time. I also love the beautiful costumes and sets. It’s on Fridays at 8 p.m.

Writer Brendan Triola

“The Walking Dead” My favorite show is “The Walking Dead,”on AMC. It’s a show about the world is in a chaotic state after a viral disease spreads and turns most of the world’s population into zombies. The show focuses around a group of people who managed to avoid catching the disease and try to fight off the zombies. They also face internal conflict within their own group. I like it because it’s not just about violence and fighting zombies, it’s about people working together to survive. Also, all the actors are fantastic. It stars Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, and Steven Yun. It airs on Sundays at 9 p.m.

I just want to do something different than trick-or-treating for my Halloween activities this year.” Rather than spending the evening trick-ortreating, Brickles, along with many others, have decided to stay indoors to watch scary movies. “I would rather stay home on Halloween than go out trick or treating,” freshman Sabrina Hall said.“I prefer to stay home and chill with my friends; we normally watch some type of Halloween movie.”

of students would rather scare than get candy

Halloween was not always a holiday of jokes and candy. In fact, Halloween started 2,000 years ago as a religious ceremony that was part of Celtic festival of Samhain. The Celts put on costumes to ward off evil ghosts before their new year started on Nov. 1. In 731 A.D., Pope Gregory III of Rome adopted this ceremony when the Roman empire took over the Celtic civilization. This festival tradition became known as All Hallow’s Eve preceding All Saint’s Day, a Roman Catholic celebration honoring saints. When exploration to America began, descents of Romans settled in the colonies. Roman colonists then shared their culture of All Hallow’s Eve; Halloween started to turn into a night of ghost stories and mischief which eventually transformed into the night of fun millions enjoy today.

Characeristics: Curious, sharp, impartial “I relate to my zodiac sign in+ positive and negative ways. Positive because Geminis are intelligent, funny and adaptable. I think negative because some people may think adaptability as being two faced. I never base my days off horoscopes because they are not always correct.” - Sena Haas, 9

Characteristics: Emotional, private, domestic “I know nothing about horoscopes. All I know is that horoscopes are something that you look at. I think it’s like witchcraft. I don’t believe in it and neither does my family.” - David Petriga, 10

Characteristics: Balanced, friendly, harmonious “I don’t believe in horoscopes.

Characterstics: Intense, investigative, transforming “I don’t really believe in horoscopes because everyone’s so different that you can’t say just because they’re born on a certain day means they’ll be a certain way.

A walk in my shoes EDITOR-IN-CHIEF SHEALYN MANDLE

Kate Lewandowski As a fifth grader, senior Kate Lewandowski felt uncomfortable in her own skin. It wasn’t until she started cutting her hair short and dressing “like a boy” that she started to feel like herself. Dressing differently from other girls, she got made fun of endlessly for it. It never bothered her until she got into middle school and realized no one liked her, simply because she was different. Lewandowski became depressed and dealt with self harm for a while. The first day she came to school with her hair cut, she was so excited until she heard kids laughing and talking behind her back. She begged her teacher to let her wear a hat all day because she was so embarrassed. When she got home, she was so put down that she started her period of self-harm. By eighth grade, she could not take the harassment anymore so she started dressing “girly” again so that people would like her. Unfortunately, it took Lewandowski being uncomfortable in order to be accepted by her middle school peers. She hated being someone else and it only made her more depressed. Her freshman year, Lewandowski decided not to care what anyone else thought and she dressed the way she wanted to. She dressed like Kate Lewandowski. Something still did not feel quite right to her, though. She always had assumptions she was gay because of how she dressed, but she never really discovered her feelings until her first year in high school and she came to accept it. She started coming out to her friends and family and could not have been happier. The first person she told was her best friend, senior A few days later she told her parents who were also very supportive. Kate is now a senior who is openly gay, does not self harm and is happier than ever. She is involved in the marching band, the National Honor Society and is a member of the varsity volleyball, basketball and tennis teams. She is studying to be a medical student at the University of Miami where she has already completed six college credits. She will be graduating with over a 4.1 grade point average and a 30 on her ACT after taking 5 advanced classes. Lewandowski’s latest accomplishment: being the first girl at Fenton high school to win homecoming court and to wear a tuxedo while accepting the crown.

DRESSED Cosplay provides students with creative outlet Writer Kelsie Lane

Characters in books, TV shows and movies are often known for their signature looks. While most people might be content to imitate these characters on Halloween, some take it one step further with cosplay, the making and wearing of costumes from popular media. Cosplayers make and wear costumes, even outside of Halloween. While this may seem like a niche hobby, it’s relatively popular, with more students getting involved. “Cosplay is about having fun, loving a character, and loving being that character,” sophomore Caitlin Reive said. “I always start off by choosing a character that I think is really cool. My favorite characters to cosplay come from Homestuck, a popular webcomic. However, I have to be conscious about time and money. For example, if I choose a character that

isn’t human, I might have to worry about face paint, horns, wings, or any number of things a character might have or wear. With human characters, I might not be able to buy clothes that match the character, so I would have to sew them.” Cosplaying also has a performance component to it. While some cosplayers just sew the costumes, it’s very common to put on a wig and costume and wear it out in public. “A lot of cosplayers go to anime conventions or Comic Con, which I would really love to go to some day,” Reive said. “I’ve cosplayed at school for Halloween, which was really nice because it felt more normal since a lot of people were wearing costumes. I’ve also gone to the mall in cosplay. The character looked pretty normal though, so not many people thought I was doing something

out of the ordinary. The people who knew what I was dressed as we’re really excited to see me.” Cosplays can come anywhere from extra materials and clothes around the home, to thousand dollar projects that look like they walked off the set of a movie. But for beginners, the experience is more important than the cost of the cosplay. “It might seem hard to get started, but the most important thing to know is that it doesn’t take a lot of money to do a cosplay,” Reive said. “If you’re having fun, and your heart’s in it, then your cosplay will turn out great and you will look awesome in it.” While dressing up in a costume and going out in public may be a little daunting to some, cosplay is a creative, different hobby that could be worth a try.

World War III Long time enemies meet in Metro games

Writer MYla Wolosonowich

In 2015, the varsity football team is focused on beating both Linden and Holly, and not much has changed in that aspect since World War II. Fenton’s rivalry with Holly goes as far back as 1941. Seventyfour years later, Fenton is still focused on beating the same two teams. “We used to play Holly on Thanksgiving at 10 a.m. as our ‘rival’ game,” 1941 alumnus Bob Harris said. “Linden was too small to be in our district.” According to Harris, Linden’s small size prevented them from becoming rivals with Fenton for 50 years. The Fenton - Linden game is now one of the biggest games of the year. The varsity football team has made it a team goal not to lose to Linden or Holly. The

win is so important to them, that two years ago, they even had a countdown clock in the weight room that showed how much time there was until kick off. “We are 3-0 against Linden. We’ve won every year against them since I have been in high school,” senior Ben Hajciar said. “With that record, I think we will beat Linden this year. The Fenton - Linden rivalry has been going on for a very long time, and this year is the last game of the regular season making it more special.” When Fenton plays Linden in any sport, the students hope for a win against the bordering town so they have a better chance at the Metro League title. “The game against Linden makes the atmosphere of the school and crowd better,” Hajciar said. “Both Holly and Linden are at the top of the Metro League standings, so we have to play a good game. Holly is currently 4-2, and Linden is currently 5-1 and we are tied with Linden in the standings.” With the football team practicing to get

the win against Linden, the girls volleyball team is working to take the Metro League title back this year. “Our team always feels super confident when we play Linden, but this year we’re getting extra excited for this game,” senior Kate Lewandowski said. “We know they’ll be some of our hardest competition this year, as they always are. Linden always plays tough.” Although Lewandowski and the team feel Linden will be tough to beat, a decade of history has shown no losses against Linden. The Tigers look to continue this streak. “We haven’t lost to Linden in the last 10 years; I think that we will be able to do it this year too, because we have a very strong team.” Lewandowski said. “No matter in what sport we play, Linden is always the biggest and important game, and it always feels good to get a win against them.” The next volleyball game against Linden will be Tuesday, Oct. 27 in Linden and the next football game against Linden will be in Fenton on Friday, Oct. 23.

Fenton has outscored Linden

in those eight years

The NFL is so popular mainly because of bone-crushing hits and exciting stars, and because of fantasy football. Since fantasy sports have taken off in the past 10 years, the NFL has skyrocketed into the top spot of the most watched sports in America, and it isn’t even close. A whopping 35 percent of people call football their favorite professional sport. Fantasy sports make a huge impact on professional sports, especially financially. Professional athletes such as Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Jeremy Maclin have some bold words. “I don’t give a **** about your fantasy team. News flash for y’all ******.” The point was raised that he makes millions of dollars because of the large number of fans watching, and a lot of them watch because of fantasy football. Even then, Maclin did not care. To be fair to Maclin, who will never even see this, no NFL players care about anyone’s fantasy team. But to ignore the financial impact of the online phenomenon is ignoring a big portion of the NFL’s fans. Fantasy football is being played by more than 75 MILLION Americans this year, making it the most popular form of fantasy sports on the Internet. The impact of the game can not be denied. Even if 10 percent of those fans are casual fans who become more invested in the game, that’s a lot of new fans, and new revenue for the NFL. That revenue goes partially into the salary cap for players, which allows for bigger contracts. As the years have gone on in all professional sports, the cap has gone up, along with fantasy participants. Fantasy Sports have been recognized as important by TV companies as well. Companies now tailor packages toward the average fantasy player. Features such as NFL Redzone, which shows nothing but scoring plays, NBA All Access, and NFL Sunday Ticket allow you to watch every ongoing game you want. These types of features are huge cash cows for TV companies. Not only are these in people’s homes, they’re in the stadiums, too. The Jacksonville Jaguars stadium features Redzone on TV’s across the stadium. In case someone’s fantasy fix hasn’t been entirely filled, fantasy companies are also building lounges in stadiums for checking scores. Not only do season long leagues raise heaps of cash, daily leagues do, too. Daily leagues like Fanduel and DraftKings have sponsorships with 28 teams, worth about six or seven million dollars to the teams. NFL owners would not invest in something that does not benefit them. Athletes such as Jeremy Maclin are not wrong. NFL football will always matter more than fantasy football, but the fact is that the more people playing fantasy sports, the more money goes into the NFL, and the more money these already wealthy professional athletes can make.

fourth quarter,” Amory said. “When I went out onto the field, the other team thought I was a guy, so I pulled my braid around and I watched the eyes of the guy who I was blocking get huge.” Even though the opponent was surprised, Amory said he didn’t treat her any differently than if she was a male player. “The first few times I could tell he was unsure of what to think, but then he knocked me on my butt and helped me back up,” Amory said. “After they see that you are willing to work your hardest for the same reason they are, they respect that you try as hard as they do.” Although it is uncommon to see students playing on teams where their gender is not the obvious majority, Amory and Wood said it did not mean that they worked less hard than the boys. “If you’re thinking of trying out for a team of the opposite gender, just go ahead and do it,” Wood said. “It will be a little bit of a change but you will have fun in the end.” Amory has dreams of playing football in college, and she said she won’t let anything or anyone get in the way of that. “If you’re a girl and you want to tryout for a boys team, it takes a lot emotionally and physically. You just have to work for your dreams,” Amory said. “Don’t let anyone tell you no or put you down. Do what you love.”

When sophomores Maureen Amory and Maddy Wood are on the football field, they say that they both have noticed looks of confusion from the opposition. It is not common for girls to play football at the high school level, and judgments based on gender are frequent. But that does not stop them from being Junior Varsity football players. “Being on a boys team is not much different from being on a girls team,” Amory said. “In fact, I personally get along a lot better with the guys. There is a lot less drama and they always look out for me.” Both girls had previously played on girls sports teams and have recognized that there are changes when going from a girls team to a boys team. However, Amory and Wood see the changes differently. “It’s a little different,” Wood said. “On a girls team I can relate to my teammates more than I can on a boys team. I have been playing on sports teams with the girls for much longer. ” The adversity that both players face on a game-to-game basis is always a factor. Opponents often assume that if a girl is on a football team, all she does is kick. Although they both kick, Amory is also a wide receiver. “During our game against Swartz Creek, I played wide receiver the whole

No Time To Waste: Loss of free time doesn’t derail athletes’ focus Writer MCKENZIE LOOKEBILL

Senior Kevin Lack never leaves the field. His mind is always on the game. Athletes like varsity football player Lack dedicate most of their free time to their sport. Free time that could be spent with family, other extracurriculars activities, relaxing, etc. Between hours of training and games, sports take up a large chunk of a student’s regular schedule. “Every day during the season we have practice after school for four hours,” Lack said. “We also have both spring and summer workouts every day. I get about four or five hours of sleep every night by the time I get home and finish everything I need to do for school.” According to the website Freelap, “Ninety-four percent of US student athletes believed they should be getting more sleep than they were getting and that their median time asleep was 7.5 hours.

like homework or even eat dinner with their families. Many athletes have to choose one or the other because of conflicting schedules. “I normally eat dinner fairly late because of my soccer games,” senior varsity soccer player Isaac Moore said. “I also stay up late or wake up early to finish my homework. I don’t like getting home so late because I don’t get enough sleep sometimes and that has affected my school work.” Some student athletes are not allowed to participate in activities because of their sport. Athletes involved in sports such as volleyball and swim were not allowed to play in the powder-puff game to avoid injuries. “I missed out on the powder-puff game for both junior year and senior year,” senior varsity volleyball player Nina Lombardi said. “I was a little bummed that I couldn’t do it because I

know it would be fun, but our coach made the right decision to not let us play in the game.” Athletes like Moore realize that despite all the sacrifices they have to make for their sport, the sense of accomplishment they receive is worth it. “I have made life-long friends through soccer. I have also been offered scholarships for college. Even though my time is limited for things like jobs, I have become a certified coach to so my schedules will never clash,” Moore said. “My commitment to soccer has definitely been worth it for the long run.” To Lack, Moore, Lombardi and other student athletes the time devoted to their sport has provided them with the outcomes they sought. Whether it was for lessons, life-long friends, or the love of the game, the athletes have said their dedication was well worth it.
