The Friendly Face Behind “Good Morning Rio Vista!”
ASB Vice President, Peter Zucha, reading the daily announcements in the attendance office.
Every day at school you hear “Good Morning Rio Vista!” on the announcements, but do you ever wonder who is on the other side of the loudspeaker? The voice of Rio Vista High School is Peter Zucha (senior). He was given the job as the morning announcer because he was voted the ASB Vice-President. Peter says the best part of being the morning announcer is that sometimes he might say something random and it surprises people. On

the contrary, the worst part of being the announcer is that every morning has to say the Pledge of Allegiance and after doing it every day, it does get boring. When Peter is absent Mrs. Sarah usually substitutes for him. In order to broadcast throughout the school he needs to dial a code on the outgoing phone. Outside the school Peter likes to fly airplanes on the weekend, hang out with his friends, play Madden 17, and enjoys watching and playing sports (even though he’s terrible at football, he’s not bad at golf). He wants to become a pilot for a big company when he’s older. He was inspired by his dad who is also a pilot but Peter would like to be more than what his dad was. He would like to go to college for two years then transfer to a 4 year Aeronautics Aerospace Program. “Flying is a big passion I have,” he added. By: Leslie Diaz

slip through our hands. The young freshman, Ethan Medders, planned on only throwing a couple of innings but continued dealing all the way until the last inning. “I was nervous playing at Raley Field at first but once we got going everything fell into place,” commented Ethan. The Rams led off with Jayden Lira in the top of the seventh inning and he got a six pitch followed by Logan Boothe’s single to right field. After scoring Jayden, he stole second base. Then the Saints intentionally walked Ryan Mackey and with 1 out and runners on first and third Hunter Apple comes up and gets a base knock to score Logan, which put the Rams up 2-0. Then in the bottom of the seventh, Ethan Medders with his “no hitter” still intact, continued to shut down Delta. With 2 outs, 2 balls and 2 strikes the Delta batter pops up a fly ball to the shortstop and Hunter makes the play and the freshmen Ethan pulls off the NO HITTER! By: Ryan Mackey
