You Can Be a Part of March Madness Too! By Tyler McNeil
March Madness is an event in which many sports and non-sports fans participate.
CHS Hockey Team’s Improvement By Dylan Williams
When asked how the team has improved from last year to this year, Kyle W. said, “we didn’t lose anybody, we got stronger, and the team’s chemistry has improved greatly.” The team chemistry improvement can be seen by watching the passing this year compared to last and the assist totals are far greater than of last years at the midpoint of the season. When watching the team you can see a different competitive energy and drive to win it all that you couldn’t see much of last year.
The Mind: An Athlete’s Greatest Strength or their Greatest Weakness? By DJ Lopes
10-time MLB champion Yogi Berra once famously said, “Baseball is 90% mental. The other half is physical.” While his math may be off, his point is tried and true. In baseball, a sport that is slow-moving and strategic, a good mindset is the key to success. However, a bad mindset can mean failure.
Should Golf Become a Fall Sport? By Jacob Martin
“My game really started to pick up towards the end of the season because I had been able to practice more and the course was in better shape,” said Nick Wallbank when asked why players scores tend to get better as the season progresses.
The Link Between Student Athletes and Their Grades By Michele Picozzi
While there is no comprehensive data to compare student athletes’ grades to those of their non-athlete peers, it is clear that the difference really comes down to personal drive, determination, and ability to organize and balance. If the student doesn’t balance their schedule and make enough time for school, then they are most likely in a bad place.
DOES THE NBA FORCE PLAYERS TO CHOOSE $$$ OVER EDUCATION? By DJ Lopes
Even in cases of college athletes, many don’t care much for their education, rather looking forward to their future in sports. According to the official NCAA website, the absolute minimum GPA required to stay on the team is 1.8 (on a 4.0 scale). In the case of number one pick in the 2016 NBA draft, Ben Simmons, he outright stopped attending classes as the NCAA season started. He showed no real love to anybody at his college, LSU, and claimed to keep no friends at the college. In fact, the only reason he attended LSU was because his godfather was an assistant coach, who now no longer works for LSU, with Simmons in the NBA.
THE AMAZING PATRIOTS COMEBACK INSPIRED CHS FANS By Jacob Martin
“I almost cried tears of joy when the Patriots scored the winning touchdown! That was easily one of the best days of my life!” said one CHS student while another stated that he was not a Patriots fan yet “It was a great comeback. Even though I am not a Patriots fan, it still was one of the most entertaining.”
Get Knocked Down, Get Back Up BY Cole Ferguson
Looking back on it, everything happens for a reason. In my case, my failure making the basketball team made me that much more hungry to succeed. It taught me to never give up and to always turn the negative things in life into positives. I pushed myself to a new level, one where anything is possible, and my potential feels limitless. Making the freshman team wasn’t such a bad thing after all. After taking a shot to my pride and being a bit jealous of my twin brother, I learned that I am strong enough to keep going when the going gets tougher.
