I NSI DER CHEERINGSUCCESS BY ARRINGTON GREENE Junkies Sports Reporter
This past Sunday, GCA?s cheer team competed in Zanesville, Ohio. Anyone who?s been to a GCA basketball home game has seen the hard work these girls have put into their craft. It?s no surprise that these phenomenal women placed 2nd in their division. Unfortunately, the captains as well as their coach were sick and we were unable to get a thorough synopsis on what went down that day. However, sick or not, these young ladies represented GCA and looked good while doing so. ?Stacey Johnson was the most dedicated and invested coach I have ever met. It was a pleasure to be taught by her and it breaks my heart that she?s not returning next year." -Hannah Deslaurier, 10th grade
"2nd in their division"
?With the season ending, competition over, and the news that Coach is not returning, I am speechless? I wish the seniors the best, and I love you Coach!!!" -Jacey Turner, 10th grade You heard it here first, cheerleading IS a sport, one that builds healthy habits as well as long lasting friendships.

Q: What do you l ike t o do in your f ree t ime? A: "In my free time I like to listen to music, watch Netflix, YouTube, and buzzfeed. I also like to write, play club volleyball in the off-season, and eat Mexican food." Q: How wil l journal ism cl ub inspire your f ut ure career? A: "Well... I want to not only be a journalist , but I want to possibly be an author/activist. Learning how to write about different topics and learning about different people will help me work as a journalist with others. I think that when I learn about different topics, it challenges me to write. So when I get older and want to become a journalist, I can get in articles and writings about things that everyone wants to hear about and that everyone wants to read."

# FREEKESHA BY LABRONTE AGBOR-NKONGHO Junkies Entertainment Reporter
COMIC RELIEF
For the past one or two weeks, you may have noticed the very popular topic of ?freeing Kesha?, and many people have asked from what? Kesha Rose Sebert, known anonymously as Kesha, is an American singer, songwriter, and rapper. In 2005, at age 18, Kesha was signed to producer Dr. Luke's label Kemosabe Records. She has made hit songs like Tik Toc, Die Young, and Timber. In the recent weeks, she tried to get out of the exclusive contract she had with Dr.Luke, from which both had been having ongoing legal issues for the past year. "All I ever wanted was to be able to make music without being afraid, scared, or abused,? she said. Dr. Luke obviously denied the claim, "I have three sisters, a daughter, and a son with my girlfriend, and a feminist mom who raised me right...it's a shame that there?s so much speculation out there with very little information.? Last Friday, Kesha?s lawyers and whole support team went to the Supreme Court, asking them to ?free?her from her contract with Dr. Luke, and almost the whole Sony label itself. She believed that even if Sony would not force her make music with her assaulter, they would ?bury?her in many albums as punishment for her speaking out. Kesha told the Supreme Court that Dr. Luke had once ?forced her into drinking with him, and told her later to take a pill, one which he called a ?sober up pill?. After taking it, she had woken up in Dr. Luke?s bed naked, sore, and woozy with no recollection of what had happened.? She told them about how Dr. Luke repeatedly threatened her, talking about how he would ruin her career and her family if she told anyone. The court rejected her plea. After last Friday, many people knew what had gone down in the courtroom. Stars such as Lady Gaga, who has also been said to have been raped by a record producer when she was 19, Demi Lovato, Lily Allen, Snoop Dogg, and Taylor Swift, who had not publicly aaron_mert z said anything but had donated $250,000 to her have come to her defense. My opinion on this legal battle has not changed, because no one should be able to go through that kind of abuse and still need to face the one assaulting them.
