Cowboy’s Compete in SoDak 16 By: Megan Nehl After winning the heart-racing region game against Faith, and becoming a SoDak 16 qualifier, the Cowboys went back to practice for one day before playing the game that would determine who ad-vanced to state. The boys traveled to Timber Lake on March 7 to play the Sully Buttes Chargers. Starting off the game, Jacob Hetzel made a three-point shot within the first 25 sec-onds. The Cowboys and the Chargers played hard, ending the first quarter with a one-point difference, with Sully Buttes in the lead. However, by the end of the sec-

ond half, the Cowboys were behind by nine points. “Going in at half, I knew we needed to make some adjustments defensively, and that we had a great chance of getting back into the game if we could start executing on the offen-sive end,” shared Tyler Kostelecky. The Cowboys worked hard as a team to come back at halftime but fell a little short, losing 53-66 and ending their season. For the final game, the highest scorer was Britt Oli-ver with 17 points, and the athlete with the most steals was Peyton Anderson with three. Also, sophomores, Cody Thompson and Jacob Hetzel were tied for the most rebounds, each having six. Even though the boys did not make it to state, they made many great memories with their coach and each other. Head coach, Tyler Kostelecky, stated that his favorite memory was, “Will Stevens mak-ing his first varsity basket and seeing the reaction of all of his teammates and the fans was incredible.”

By: Beth Tennant The senior class took a couple days off of school and traveled to Denver, Colorado for their class trip. They visited many different places such as the Olympic Train-ing Center, The Mile-High Stadium, Ham-mond’s Candy Factory, and the Air and Space Museum. Supervisors, Mr. Steve Bucks and Mrs. JoLinda Hay, traveled with the senior class. Jake Ellison stated, “I will never forget Max spending $30 on choco-late covered almonds that were $1 a bag.” The seniors ended up cutting their trip a day short due to incoming weather back home. Bus driver, Pat Dalzell, drove

through the night on Tuesday, March 12, to get the senior class home before the blizzard hit on Wednesday. A couple of the seniors took turns staying up with Dalzell throughout the night to help him stay awake. The seniors finally arrived home on Wednesday, March 13, at 4:30 in the morning. Dillon Reede stated, “Fogo was my fa-vorite because I love food.” Jade Witt also commented, “I honestly loved the whole trip, but if I had to pick, it would be the Olympic Training Center.”

By: Madison Weishaar With a week of limited janitorial service at Lemmon High School, the LHS National Honor Society members eagerly stepped up and provided their services to fulfill several needs for the school during the week of March 18-22. From serving breakfast and lunch, to taking out the trash and cleaning off lunch

tables and desks, all the members split the duties and took time out of their school days to help around the school. Senior, Lexi Lopez shared, “I really en-joyed it. It was fun to joke with the young-er kids and put a smile on their faces! Eve-ryone was polite going through the serv-ing line, and it was really easy. I did it twice that week and would gladly do it again!”

The high school street law class has spent the past semester learning about criminal law, the criminal justice system, family law, and most recently, constitutional law. Constitutional law deals with the rights that are a person’s most basic rights that are found in the United States Constitu-tion. Focusing on the rights promised in the First Amendment, Mrs. Straight decid-ed to have the students do a presentation.

Instead of just reading about their rights, the students split into groups, each choos-ing a chapter about a right or freedom that they would “become a teacher” for. Posters, slideshows, and handouts were some of the forms that the students used to show their creativity.

Along with creating a visual aid, the stu-dents also had to select a problem from their chapter and have the other students discuss the answers. Mrs. Straight com-mented that her favorite part of the presentations “was seeing the students

teaching their peers and being able to provide in-depth discussion with the prob-lems that we did.”

One of Mrs. Straight’s goals for the presentations were for the students “to have a solid understanding of what rights they have in the Constitution, not just for this class, but for life.” This goal was met, as student, Tya Peterson, added that her favorite part was “being more informed about basic rights.” Another student,

Jaden Kelley, stated, “I learned a lot about the gag order and what it is.”

During the next couple of weeks, the street law class will become teachers again, as they will be presenting a debate to the sixth-grade students. After watch-ing the older students, the sixth graders will then prepare debates of their own.

Abracadabra: Students Think Like Engineers By: Madi Bucks

In Mrs. Sara Gebhart’s science class for

the seventh grade and eighth grade, stu-

dents did a science project called abraca-

dabra. It was a NASA project that helped

the students simulate a solar sail mast.

The project helped the students have a

better understanding about a solar sail

mast. Mrs. Gebhart says it was a new

and fun way for the

kids to learn about

space.
