From The Editor...
I would like to welcome you to the last Courier before our senior edition. It is surreal to think of the improvements that the paper has made over the last three years, and I am thankful to have been a part of it. With the year coming toward a close — prom is here, spring sports are starting, the snow is (finally) melting — the process of seniors getting ready for the next chapters of their lives is in full swing. This happens every year, but this year it affects me far more personally because I am one of those seniors. All my friends and I have all figured out our futures, and now the countdown begins. Do not take your time for granted. Spending time in one chapter of your life wishing to be in another is a sure way to waste the valuable moments that occur every day. Be happy, be smart and always push upwards. I hope you enjoy this issue.

Dear Congress
ith midterm elections having just taken place, and new representatives and senators taking their place on Capitol Hill, we at the Courier feel it would be a great time to share our opinions about how we feel that you can be successful and represent the people. We have broken our thoughts up into three different areas, with each being something we think you could improve upon or make better. We believe that Congress needs to focus more on the American public versus their own party, and our points reflect this. Our first issue is the needless spending requested by congress every year.
E
very year congress spends millions upon millions of dollars on needless projects, pork barrel spending and projects that are outdated and costly. This unnecessary spending would be better spent on fixing our education system or used to repair failing American infrastructure. The current congressional expected
WALL
Government Shutdown ON Off
budget is at 4.716 trillion dollars with the discretionary amount
being around 1.4 trillion dollars. More than half of this is spent on the military and its associated projects. If only 1/8th of this was spent on fixing issues on the home front, the United State’s failing infrastructure could be solved.
The second issue that needs to be addressed is the rampant
partisanship and problems that come with it within our congressional landscape. Partisanship has caused a rift within Congress, and in our opinion is the biggest issue facing our government today. Both major parties are guilty of this, and it has caused problems when Congress needed to work together. As a result of this partisanship, the government recently had its longest shutdown in history over issues involving the border wall, with Democrats refusing to fund the border wall and Republicans refusing to hear bills that did not have the border wall listed with funding. Due to the standoff on these issues, nearly 800,000 federal workers went without pay during this time.
Who knew it was this easy?
Editorial cartoon by Riley Griffin
T
he third issue with Congress today is the focus on re-election versus serving the American people. Congressmen and women today seem to be more focused on continuing their careers rather than breaking party lines and voting on items that could hurt their party’s opinion of them. This idea of re-
election causes stagnation within Congress, and
forces politicians to worry more about their next term versus the current time they are elected for.
I
f these issues are fixed, and if the new members of Congress work to be more like the public servants they are expected to be, the serious problems facing the United States could be fixed in our time, and the nation would be the better for it.

LIBERTY HURLEY
Assistant Editor-In-Chief When I was in middle school, my family always told me that most of my friendships will not last to high school. For the most part that is true, but sometimes ending a friendship is for the best even if it does not feel like it right away. It was hard to slowly drift away from others, but I always knew deep down that most of my friendships were born out of convenience and not true connection. I recently watched a comedy show on Netflix done by Daniel Sloss. Sloss said something that really made me question the relationship I have with everyone: “…if you do not love 100% of who I am, you do not love me.” If you are forcing yourself to be friends with someone because you are afraid what life will be like after that friendship has been burned, then you need to ask yourself a few questions: -Do these people love me for me or for the service I am providing them? -Would this person drop anything to help me as I have done for them? -Am I gaining anything from this relationship or are they just feeding off of the attention I am giving them? If you answered those questions in a way that satisfies you, then that is awesome, and

How to end friendships for a better you you can probably stop reading because I am sure they are a good friend. But if you are still reading and wondering what that empty feeling you just got after analyzing the questions is, then I suggest sticking in there and continuing to read. The truth about a friend that you may have had since elementary school can be hard. They could have been the person you used to spend hours talking to, your favorite snack time buddy or the sibling that you got to choose, but sometimes the past needs to stay that way; a preserved memory. The signs of a fake friend are abundant. They may belittle you around other friends, talk about you behind your back, purposefully not invite you places or even just drain you of your energy and will to enjoy life without their permission. Friendship should be a two way street. So, if you are willing to put in the work, then you should expect someone else to as well. It may feel like you are stuck or like you will not have any friends left if you cut your toxic friend out of your life, but flowers can not grow until you weed your garden. The signs may be evident and you may even know the truth, but change comes with a choice. Until there is a willingness to put your mental health above theirs, then that change will never see the light of day. March 2019
Here are a few methods to end a toxic friendship:
Just Stop
Ghosting may be an infamous way to get rid of someone trying to slide into your DMs, but it is also a good way to get rid of fake friends. It is hard and will take patience, but with some strong will power, stopping your friendship cold turkey may be the best choice. This option will leave you with a clean slate, an opportunity to begin again as a new person. You can go out, make some new friends and feel what it is like to be really appreciated.
C I X O T C I X O T
C I X O T Be Honest C I C X I O X T C O I TX O C T I X O C I T Get Busy X O T C I C I X X O O T T Opinion C If you come out of the gates swinging with lies and excuses, you are just being fake right back, and contrary to popular belief, an eye for an eye does not make the world go round. So, if you are honest and tell them their actions bother you, there is a chance they will change their ways to better suit your friendship. If they are not willing to change some things, then why would you want to be friends with someone who does not want to be your friend anyways?
Joining new activities is such a great way to not only meet new friends, but to fill up your schedule enough to slowly let your friendship die off. I know it sounds gruesome and seems like it will be hurtful, but sometimes you need to be selfish. People who are friends with you because they feed off your attention will not want to continue that friendship if you are always busy. So, to make your friendships’ death seem like it is not your fault, just get busy and see where it takes you.
The Real Piehl Find your artist, let them do the rest OWEN PIEHL Editor-In-Chief
This edition of the Real Piehl is based off a thought I had when I was laying in bed months ago, so thank you to my artist for putting it into words and putting it on this page (you’ll get it later). If you feel strongly about this issue or others, please feel free to get in touch with either me or The Courier. You can email me at owen.piehl@msd1.org, or drop off a letter to us in Mrs. Cahoon’s room 221. I always have a hard time coming up with ideas for this page. There are many versions of the Real Piehl which never see the light of day, simply because I read them and decide “nope, that’s not it.” I feel the same way about writing songs or poems. I get done with a song and I decide that it is not up to par and it lies dormant, with few to no people ever hearing it. The thing is, I’m not really a picky person. In most of my day to day life, I am content with doing what needs to be done and not much else, however when it comes to my creative side I am choosy and hard on myself. So I was thinking, why am I like this? Why is it that I exercise a different temperament depending on whether I am creating or just simply doing? And, after a lot of thought and some reading, I came up with a theory which applies to not only myself, but to everyone. Here it is. Everyone, and I mean everyone, has an artist inside them. Whether large or small, bold or meek, careful or headstrong or any other adjectives you could think of, everyone has a part of them which is dedicated to creating. Creating ideas, creating music, creating conversation, creating all kinds of different things. I like to imagine a little guy sitting at a desk in a vast, unfurnished room. The desk is covered in sketches, there is coffee
spilled on some papers and a trash can in the corner is filled with hundreds of crumpled pieces of paper. This is your creator. No, not your Creator, but your own personal servant dedicated to making all the ideas which flow through your head into actual, tangible things. Everyone’s creator is different. I imagine mine much as I previously described, with many ideas being scrapped as I continuously search for perfection in what I am making, but like I said, everyone’s is different. Think, for example, of a star football player. The talents which they have perfected over many years are stored in their brain and their body is trained to perform these talents to perfection, but they still need their mind to respond to the signals their body is sending. Imagine another little guy in a vast room, only this time he is looking at a screen and shouting instructions into a radio. “Cut! Spin! Hurdle,” and finally “SPIKE THE BALL!” I think you get what I’m saying. Everyone has this artist within them, and everyone’s artist is different. So what kind of artist is within you? Is your artist practical? Are they always trying to make things that will help you in real life, like rearranging your room to give you more space? Is your artist a visionary? Are they always searching for ideas that nobody has had before, looking at things in a different light and trying to find solutions to big problems? Maybe your artist is cautious. Maybe they are bold and over the top. Whatever the case may be, it is important to recognize what kind of artist is within you and learn how to properly utilize what it is that they have to offer. No matter what it is you feel you do well or wish you did better, your artist is special. Everyone’s creative traits are unique to them and they all manifest themselves in certain ways.
This is why it is important to take care of your artist. When you make something, be happy about the fact that you just took the random thoughts rolling around in your brain and turned them into something real. When you do not like something you have made, don’t beat yourself up about it. Your artist worked really hard on that and negativity will only discourage them from doing the one thing they are good at. We as humans have this incredible gift to create things, and while it is no doubt hard to always make things that you like, it is a gift nonetheless. This brings me to my final point: use your artist for good. Plan a date, sing a song, make a video, use your artist and their incredible ability to create things to make someone smile. At the end of the day, this is what makes us human. All the things we do in our day to day lives are affected by what our artist can do and wants to do, and what it decides to create that day. Art lies in everything. It is not just a painting on the wall or a poem by Walt Whitman, art is alive. Art is in the way you dress, art is in the conversations you have with your friends at two in the morning, art is in the text you sent to your boyfriend last night before he went to sleep. Art is in you. So take care of your artist (and in the process, yourself). Compliment them, make them feel appreciated, remember that without the amazing things that your artist does every day, you would not be able to live your life. Everything you create comes from within you, and everything you create is unique to YOU. Appreciate what it is you do, no one else can do the same. And don’t forget to thank your artist. They are doing their best. P.S.- Thanks my man, I’m thinking of you.

THE THE HYPEBEASTESS HYPEBEASTESS HERALD HERALD RILEY GRIFFIN General Reporter
Hey hypebeasts, glad to see you back for another good read. Here is the scoop, in honor of March being Women’s History month, I have decided to do a women’s edition of the Hypebeast Herald! If you are trying to stay up on trends but have not been in the loop lately, then you have come to the right place. 2019 is coming in hot with plenty of loud style trends to kick off the spring season. Leopard seems to be the print of the year. If you are really trying to stand out and even flex on the boys and their shoe game, then you can pick up the leopard print Nike Air Max ‘97s. These are trending all around the coast and in Europe. You can also get Supreme’s new leopard mini backpack for those days when you want to be a little extra. Overall,
Disclaimer: This article is all my personal opinion and the ideas are not taken from any website, person(s) or other articles. Victoria’s Secret is closing down 53 stores this year. According to hypebae.com, the company closes approximately 15 stores annually. Women have been upset with the company lately as they do not like how expensive the items are priced at and the lack of larger sizes. Closing stores is an unfortunate cancer that is growing throughout retail chains. J. C. Penney is closing down 24 stores this year and GAP is closing 230 stores this year. Overall, the hype scale.

Ariana Grande has been dubbed the new queen of Instagram. She is now the most followed woman on the social media app. With over 146 million followers, she surpassed Selena Gomez only by a few hundred followers. However, both Grande and Gomez still have a long way to go if they want to be the highest followed, for soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo still holds the title with 155 million followers. Overall,
It seems like a lot of women, especially in their teens and early 20’s, are into Billie Eilish. Her personality and look do not match her music. I have listened to a couple of her songs and they are not bad. Saying this, she is supposed to be releasing a new album titled, “WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO.” She has released a couple singles that are supposed to be on the new album, such as “bury a friend” and “wish you were gay.” Make sure to go check it out, as it is supposed to be pretty good.

A look at hard drug use by MHS students RYAN PHELPS General Reporter
Photo by Ryan Phelps
“My legs feel down and locked up, so I fell down and was looking up at the sky. Then I was looking down at my body from above, and I thought that it was all over, that I had died. I regretted how I took my life for granted,” Jonathan* said. The quote above is referring to an acid trip experience by an MHS student. While such an experience may seem otherworldly, in reality it is not. LSD and other hard drugs are in common use among many MHS students. “If I had to guess I would put the number of students using hard drugs at about 50,” said school resource officer Michael Bried. Some students have suggested a much higher number. While drug abuse is an issue among all ages, younger students are seen as having a larger risk of starting. “I feel most people use drugs as an escape from reality and a way for them to try to find themselves,” Beth* said. While LSD, molly and ecstasy are known as popular party drugs and often follow soft drug use, they are not the most popular, or dangerous, substance taken by students. “The most commonly abused substance [by students] is prescription pills, followed by methamphetamine, then probably opiates” Breid said. Every drug affects the users mind differently, but most come with an intense feeling of euphoria and distorted reality. Experiencing such can leave people changed forever. While some users claim to simply be high seeking, some no longer have the choice.
“When we’re talking about meth, heroin and other opiates it doesn’t matter if you have never done it before, you will be addicted,” Breid said. It can seem hard to be a highschool student, and while it is much harder to be an addict, some are in the near impossible situation of being both. “I ended up being able to stop using cocaine with lots of fear of permanent damage to my body,” Doug* said. “I’d throw up in the school bathroom from withdrawal and it made me so unmotivated I’d fall behind in school work.” Legal troubles will also be more serious if a students is caught on school grounds, yet many still have the confidence they will not be caught. “I have to have reasonable doubt to conduct a search of a student’s things, or the search has to be random. Occasionally I manage to catch someone, but you students are crafty,” Breid said. Drug abuse on school ground is also risky due to searches by canine units. Current dogs are trained to smell various different kinds of substances, with trainers even neglecting to teach new pups to detect marijuana to make sure evidence of hard drug use is allowed in court. Being caught with illicit substances can be a major legal setback, but it is not the worst that could happen to a student. Distorted senses and judgment can lead to disaster. “Not only have I put myself in danger, I have put the lives of others in danger when I have chosen to drive on substances,” Jonathan said. Unfortunately, substance abuse by students is not likely to go down in the near future. “As society becomes more accepting of drug use, like the decriminalization and attempted legalization of marijuana, we will see more students involved in substance abuse,” Breid said.

Meet the Candidates:
A Look at the 2020 Election DANTE DANIEL General Reporter
Endless campaign ads, hundreds of flyers and a campaign cycle lasting almost two years. This is the future for many Americans as the 2020 election cycle begins ramping up. With hundreds of candidates throwing their hat in the race for the presidency, now would be a good time to take a closer look at some of the more notable presidential hopefuls. Three mainstream candidates have announced so far, but many more are expected to announce their campaigns in the coming months.

Senator Warren announced she Senator Sanders announced his was running in the 2020 election second presidential campaign in in February of 2019. February of 2019.
Senator Elizabeth Warren is a senior Democrat who has decided to run for president. Senator Warren has been in Washington politics since November 12, 2006. She was elected to her first term after a career in law. Senator Warren could be described as a staunch Democrat serving under President Obama and rising to the top of the party. She holds Pro-Choice ideas and a pro green energy stance when it comes to politics and has been a vocal opponent to President Trump “Title X provides birth control, cancer screenings & HIV tests to over 4M Americans. It doesn’t fund abortions & never has,” Warren said. “But today, @ realdonaldtrump will issue a “gag” rule that will stop Title X doctors from even talking to their patients about abortion-related services.”

Bernie Sanders is one of the few Independents in the current congressional makeup and is one of the more polarizing figures within the Senate. Senator Sanders ran for president in 2016, but lost in the primaries to Hillary Clinton. Sanders gained massive support from the millennial crowd, and was thought of as one of the more progressive candidates in the election. Sanders has been a lifelong advocate of civil rights and the fight against wealth inequality. Sanders announced that he was running in the 2020 election on February 19th, 2019. “Our campaign is about fundamentally ending the disparity of wealth, income and power in this country,” Sanders said. “But as we do that, we must also address the disparity within the disparity—the outrageous levels of racial disparity that currently exist.” March 2019
President Trump poses for his Presidential Photo. The President announced he was running for a second term in January of 2017. One notable presidential hopeful is the current president, Donald J. Trump. President Trump was elected in the 2016 election, defeating his opponent Hillary Clinton in a 306-232 vote. President Trump announced that he was going to run for re-election in January of 2017. Trump’s current term has enjoyed large economic growth and is the launching point for his 2020 campaign. Trump has been a determined member of the Republican party, and holds many of the viewpoints of the party itself including a pro-life stance and support for tougher immigration laws as President Trump has said in the past. “CHAIN MIGRATION must end now! Some people come in, and they bring their whole family with them, who can be truly evil. NOT ACCEPTABLE!” The President said.

How Do Students Get Referred for Helpful Resources? When it comes to students who need extra help regarding school, teachers and parents can refer them to TAT. “TAT stands for Teacher Assistant Team, and it is the name we came up with in our building,” Diane Pettit. “What the TAT team does is accepts referrals from mostly teachers because they are the ones who see the academic issue in the moment.” There are usually specific attributes when it comes to teachers requesting students to TAT. Teachers must fill out and rate different aspects of a students qualities. “We have lots of questions like does a student participate in class? Do they use the bathroom a lot? Do they leave the room a lot? Do they ask questions and participate? Is their hygiene good?” Pettit said. “These tell us something is going on in their life that is out of their control.” By filling out the different aspects of the referral form, TAT can find the things that students may need extra help in or may even excel in. “On the back side lists the students strengths, maybe they are a good leader, maybe they are really organized or passionate about a school function,” Pettit said. “It is inferring we want to say what can we focus in on and help them.” After TAT receives the referral form, they do as much as they can to discover whether or not the student needs a student advocate to manage files that will be pushed out to teachers who will again fill out a form on the student. “We try to assign the student a person who they can connect with sometime during the day to do a check in check out process,” Pettit said. Although the process is extremely time consuming and may seem excessive, the time taken to evaluate students may be just what they need. “The TAT process is a very long drawn out data collection process that is meant to put some things in place to assist the student to become more successful,” Pettit said.
A Student Shares Her Perspective... Having a learning disability is a struggle faced by many high schoolers throughout Mandan, but junior Maddi Unterseher is working hard to show that her disability will not stop her. “I have a reading disability, so sometimes I mix up letters and I can’t really read correctly,” Unterseher said. “We have to work harder.” Unterseher usually works in a regular classroom environment, but when it comes to specific work she can use the learning disability classrooms for a quiet space. “It’s really nice [Ms. Rassets’ room], all the normal lights are turned off and we just have lamps in there and we can just do our work.” Unterseher said. “It’s not really like a classroom set up, it’s really nice.” The classrooms are designed to create a space where students with a learning disability can feel comfortable in and be able to complete their work in. These classrooms are used as a learning tool for students who sometimes have a harder time in an everyday classroom. “It sounds like we just have a TSL period where we can just work on homework but we also exercise our brain, and it is hard but you just have to get through it and work,” Unterseher said. Although having the resources and tools available may be helpful, it may be difficult to use them when some students do not understand their necessity. “I don’t like to tell people because I feel like they will look at me in a different way,” Unterseher said. “I don’t want people to look at me in a different way just because I can’t read.” Through some hardship and hard work, Unterseher has shown her peers her commitment no matter the obstacles. “It doesn’t hold me back,” Unterseher said. “I just have to work a little bit harder than everyone else.”

STEM: Not Just For Men Women expoloring male dominated STEM careers and the stigma that comes with it COURTNEY ENTZI
Sports and Co-News Editor While it is increasingly becoming more normal for women to follow STEM career paths, there is still more ground to cover. “Well I think that over the last 10 to 20 years it has become more common but I think originally there were other roles that women played,” said science club advisor and physical science teacher • 35.2% of chemists are women; Ciera Kroh. • 11.1% of physicists and astronomers The number are women; of women in • 33.8% of environmental engineers the STEM are women; fields has • 22.7% of chemical engineers are women; substantially • 17.5% of civil, architectural and increased sanitary engineers are women; as the roles • 17.1% of industrial engineers are of women women; move from • 10.7% of electrical or computer house wives hardware engineers are women; and to working • 7.9% of mechanical engineers are women. women. “I think they [women] see the value in the job market because it’s more accepting now for them to have a full time job that challenges what is expected of them and they enjoy that,” Kroh said. The numbers of women may have increased but there is still an unexcepting few that the female population must break. “I have had comments of people from older generations saying ‘oh when I was in high school my science teacher didn’t look like you’.” said Kroh. “I have heard that and been told that before and I didn’t know how to respond.” Kroh gives her students many words of encouragment and

Freshman Sophia Mcleish and her partner Alexis Imholte are doing tests to design and create their own more effective suture. Sophia plans to follow a career in Engineering. “I am good at math, science and problem solving so I think engineering will be good for me,” Mcleish said. She is excited to be a women in STEM and is not worried about the stigmas she may face. “I think it comes in a form of disrespect,” Mcleish said. “Other Engineers that I have talked to have said some people are ignorant because it is a male dominated field and they think they are better but you just have to push through that.” Mcleish has already thought about how she will face her issues in the field and is confident in herself. “It’s scary because you know you won’t have a lot of other females with you,” Mcleish said. “[But] knowing at the end of the day I can go home and knowing that I am good at what I do.”

Not your Average Athlete
MAGGIE KNOLL General Reporter
Senior Johnny Mindt has gone above and beyond for Mandan and his sport
Senior Johnny Mindt dove into the 2019 state swimming and diving tournament with a splash. Mindt is now a three time state diving champion from the 2017, 2018, and 2019 state tournaments. Mindt also holds the state record of a score of 526.55 crushing the old record of 509.80 which was set in 2015. Diving is nothing new to the Mindt family as Mindt’s father was a previous state diving champion and has now passed on these skills to his kids. “My dad joined his junior year and took third his first year, then he took first his senior year and went to dive at UND,” Mindt said. “Diving runs in the family.” Mindt was introduced to this sport at a young age and his love for the sport has only increased throughout the years. “Ever since I was a little kid, around eight or nine years old I would just go dive on the boards and do flips and screw around,” Mindt said. “It’s always been fun.” The sport for Mindt started as a fun activity to participate in then transformed into using the sport to strive for the success he wanted. “Well he started as a 7th grader and the air awareness was there,” said Mandan Diving Coach Claudia Schoellkopf. “Right around the end of freshman year beginning of sophomore year we
saw a switch as far as he really needed to increase his strength to accomplish the goals that he wanted.” Although diving has always been a talent of Mindt’s, it has not always been a smooth road to success. “Last year I injured my back right away at the beginning of the season and I didn’t do a dive at all through out the season until end of January,” Mindt said. “After practice I was just dead, throwing those dives makes you so tired.” Being a three time state champion is not the only quality Mindt has, the sportsmanship and being a team leader also adds to his success. “He cares about the sport across the state,” Schoellkopf said. “It’s not just him being the best he cares about how his teammates perceive the sport and how they are doing. You will literally see him cheering on divers from other teams that is one of the things we push with the boys.” Mindt has had overall success throughout his high school diving career and plans to attend University of Minnesota to continue diving with three state championships and a state diving record under his belt. “Getting that state record, that was the best day of my life,” Mindt said.

Sports Round-up Girls’ Track The girl’s track team has grown in numbers this year and is looking forward to seeing what will come from that. “Our first goal was to increase the number of athletes in our Girls' Track and Field program from last year. I am happy to say we have accomplished that goal,” Head Coach Brooke Wiedrich said. “We also want to see an increased number in state qualifiers, specifically to have a state qualifier in every event.” The team wants to send as many athletes as possible to the state tournament and hope the increased numbers and focusing on individual goals will get them there. “We put a priority on achieving personal records,” Wiedrich said. “If we can continually improve from one week to the next, and one meet to the next, our athletes will have a very good chance at qualifying for the state meet.”
Softball The Braves have some big shoes to fill after losing a strong pitcher but are excited to fill that spot. “A very talented pitcher graduated last year so that is the biggest position that we need to replace and pitchers are critical to success on the diamond,” Head Coach Ryne Jungling said. “There will be a huge emphasis early in the year on developing pitching.” The team's offense and most of their infield and outfield will be returning this season, and they plan to continue working on their personal, academic and athletic goals. “Ultimately we would love to win a state championship, but we are really looking to improve every day throughout the season and be playing our best softball when the west region tournament rolls around in late May,” Jungling said. “We also have earned the Team Scholar award every year of the program, and that is for sure a goal we plan on accomplishing again.”

Boys’ Track The boys’ track team has been doing as much as they can to get the most out of their athletes during their indoor practices. Due to weather, they have spent most of their time indoors. “I think we have done a pretty good job with managing things like shin splints because of the tiles floors and managing other wear and tear issues like that,” Head Coach Todd Sheldon said. “We incorporate bands and resistance work to get as much out as we can as if we were outside and could run farther.” The team is looking forward to getting outside and preparing themselves for the state tournament. “I’d like to see as many kids as possible make it on the podium at the state track meet,” Sheldon said.
Girls’ Tennis The Braves have big goals for coming into the season. “The goals for the girls tennis team this season are: 1. Team Scholar Award, 2. Win the regular season WDA title, 3. Win the West Region tournament, 4. Contend for a state title.” Head Coach Paul Christen said. They have many returning players this season and a few returning from injury that will help a push the team towards their goals. “Elizabeth Felderman is one of the best players in the state, and on any given day, can beat anybody. Kenna Vogel is a Senior and has been on Varsity since the 7th grade,” Christen said.” Lizzie Allan has improved a lot from last year and looks to have a solid season. Kate Kesler, Breanna Helbling, and Kylie Wieland all lost time to injuries last year and will add depth to our team this year.”
Girls’ Soccer
The Braves are eager for the season and are looking forward to face their competition after last years success. They placed fourth last year in the WDA, came away with the most season wins in the programs history and made it to state for the first time in awhile. “I think we took a really big step last year. Not only did it mean we were able to make it to the state tournament, but we were very unfortunate to lose both games (the first one on a penalty shoot out),” Head Coach Stephen Weston said. “With that in mind, I’m looking for the girls to take the next step forward and to challenge for the WDA championship and find some success in the state tournament.”
Boys’ Golf
Boys’ golf is hoping for a higher finish this year at the WDA and state level. They are working on their skills such as chipping and putting to help them achieve these goals. They have many returning young varsity players and their number one, Tre Hohbein, will help make a big impact on this season. “Once again we will be the youngest team in WDA, but we will have experience.” Head Coach Bruce Rauser said.
Baseball
The Braves have set some important goals for the season: make it back to the state tournament, improve their skills and be competitive every game. They have many returning players who have been working hard in the offseason, and they are looking forward to see how the season progresses. When preparing for their competition, they focus on their pitcher. “Baseball is different than most sports in that an average team can be really good if they have a good pitcher throwing,” Head Coach Dewitt Mack said. The boys’ placed fourth last season at the west region tournament and are looking to continually improve throughout the season.
