Rachael Trapp Broken Arrow How long have you been involved with FCA? Three years.

Who influenced you to join? Myself. It seemed like a great opportunity to represent my school as a student-athlete of Christ. How has FCA made an impact in your life on and off the field? It’s brought me closer to God and I’m surrounded by other athletes that share the same beliefs as me. How have your beliefs helped you as an athlete? It gives me courage and motivation because I know that I can do anything I set my mind to with God by my side. What is your favorite Bible verse and why? My favorite verse is Isaiah 41:10. “Don’t be afraid for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” It is my favorite verse because I know that whatever I am going through in life I know that I have Christ fighting through it with me.

The region brought us state titles in baseball, basketball, golf, soccer, tennis, track, wrestling and football. We got to enjoy all of that action up close and personal and we wanted to give our readers the same opportunity by sharing some of the best photos our photographers took this year. 20

Northeast Technology Athlete of the MOnth Travis Ward - Sequoyah Claremore

Travis Ward is a junior at Sequoyah Claremore High School where he plays varsity soccer for the Eagles. The defenseman has played varsity soccer since his freshman season and is looking forward to his senior year. “This season things were a little tough early on, but we got better as the season went on and just got really unlucky in the first game of the playoffs,” Ward said. As a junior at Sequoyah Ward carries a 3.6 GPA and his favorite class is Mathematic Analysis. When he’s not studying or playing soccer you can find him at Northeast Technology Center taking

Environmental and Spatial Technology or the EAST Program. “I was trying to figure out what I liked and what I wanted to do. The EAST Program is very interesting and nothing like I thought it would be. It’s been a great experience,” Ward said. “The projects are based around what you want to do and you’re allowed to be more handson. I would recommend it to any student wanting to find something that would help them in the future especially if NTC offers anything they want to pursue.”

After high school Ward is considering going to Oklahoma State IT and pursue a degree in computer science and career in the IT field.

Aaliyah Birmingham Tulsa Central Track In just her first season in the sport, sophomore sprinter Aaliyah Birmingham picked up a second place medal in the Class 4A 100-meter dash. She ran a 12.32 time, improving on her prelim time by three-tenths of a second. A 3.37 student, Aaliyah is active in National Honor Society, the school’s dance program and also is a cheerleader. Due to an ongoing foot problem, Birmingham was limited to just the 400 at state. “I just tried to block out the pain,” she said. “It’s something I’ve had to deal with all season.” Aaliyah plans to add softball to her list of school activities in the fall. In her spare time, she said she likes to rollerblade. “She’s a jewel,” track coach Tammy Altaffer said. “She’s really a special kid. She has a bright future.”

Andrew De La Paz East Central Soccer There are many who consider Andrew DeLaPaz the top male soccer player in Class 5A. He certainly has the stats to back up the claim. The junior forward scored 21 goals this season to lead East Central to the 5A state semifinals. Of those, he scored 13 in a span of four games, including three in the win over Metro Christian in the state tournament. DeLaPaz credits his soccer prowess to “lots of practice.” Missing four games motivated DeLaPaz, a 2.9 student, at the end of the season. He often draws double- and triple-teams. “He’s a phenomenal soccer player. He can do so many things on the field it is hard for teams to stop him. If a team does, he finds the open player. There’s not many scorers out there like you,” East Central coach Josh Diamond said.

The outcome may save your life or that of a friend.

Tobacco usage affects everyone, young and old alike. And, while in today’s information rich society you’d think most people know about the inherent dangers, the majority doesn’t consider the long range lifethreatening effects. It’s a matter of life or death…and students at Collinsville High School are taking a stand against the dangers of tobacco.

Thirty-nine students are actively involved in SWAT – Students Working Against Tobacco, all with a commitment to making a difference within their school and community. And recently, the group completed the “SWAT Games” to prove their point. “Our SWAT group wanted to represent the battle that teenagers and adults fight everyday regarding the dangers of tobacco,” said Kim Myers, a computer instructor and SWAT Adult Partner at Collinsville. “We patterned the event similar to Hunger Games that requires a battle for life over death.” During the one hour spirited competition, 17 people consisting of 15 students and two teachers, ran wildly to survive with only one participant remaining at the end while the

other sixteen represented the 16 people that die everyday in Oklahoma from the dangers of tobacco and related illnesses.

“It’s a fun-filled way to dramatize the impact of tobacco in our society today,” said Schaeffer Smith, a sophomore leader of SWAT. “Competitors are running wildly to avoid being hit with the balloons or water squirters to stay in the game. But, by the end, everyone either dies or the one left standing, the winner of the games, sees how those close to them have all died as a result of tobacco.”

Members of SWAT understand that tobacco is a big deal. It’s not something just to mess around with. Despite the promotional campaigns of tobacco companies to convince you that it’s cool to smoke or to dip smokeless tobacco, the dangers can kill you. “Dipping is something that girls and guys today think its O-K, it won’t hurt me,” said SWAT president Lauren Wilson, a junior at Collinsville. “The truth is that in the long run smokeless tobacco can be just as dangerous as cigarettes. The end results are the same.”

Second hand smoke is another force that’s just as deadly as tobacco use. When the participants were eliminated by surprise being hit from behind by the food colored water filled balloons and water from the soaker shooters, the truths how second hand smoke silently attacks and can create

life threatening health risks to anyone were evident.

“The “brown stains” resulting from being hit demonstrated another being killed by tobacco or by being effected by it and dying from the consequences of the diseases,” notes Wilson.

Each day, more than 3,200 American youth under the age of 18 smoke their first cigarette and another 2,100 who are occasional smokers become daily smokers. Statistics that members of the Collinsville SWAT team want to insure that everyone knows the danger of tobacco use. “Our SWAT team wants everyone at our school and our community to avoid the risks and not have to deal with the dangers of tobacco use and high risk of the diseases that will result from it,” said Wilson. “Our mission is to empower everyone with the knowledge to make the healthy choice for themselves and everyone else in their lives.”

All of the students enjoyed the “SWAT games.” Yet, according to Smith, everyone including the winner understood the truth filled message. “The winner of the games also represents that one person who is willing to stand up and make a difference in helping others know about tobacco’s dangers,” confirmed Smith. SWAT teams like the one at Collinsville continue to set the example for other students and adults that need a little motivation to be willing to be different; not only resist the temptations of using tobacco products but also tell others about the life threatening risks of their choices.

“We want to invite everyone at Collinsville and everywhere else to join our team,” said Wilson. “We all have a lot to live for now and the future. And, by standing up and saying no to tobacco, we can a lot of fun for years to come.”
