As senior Isabella Johnson steps back onto the field for the first game of her senior year, she has a lot on her mind. “I have played soccer for so long that it’s kind of my identity in a lot of ways,” Johnson said.
Two Sides of Recovery
Senior Camila Figueroa successfully crosses a hurdle. Hurdles are one of the many different events preformed during a meet. “I like the competition,” freshman Jonah Fields said. “I like the heat of the moment and being my best.”
At The Starting Line
The archery team has been competing in competitions since November. “Archery is an opportunity to help develop self confidence.” Archery and J.R.O.T.C. teacher Robert Hodapp said. ROW 1: Brycen Osborne (12, left), Michel Ewald (10), Haley Anderson (12), Allyson Pendergraft (12), Kiya Ward (11), Carter Anderson (11) and Cannon Davis (10). ROW 2: Henry Malone (10, left), Conner Marcum (10), Jacob McConnell (10), Ayden Moore (11), Karson Robb (10), Caleb Craig (12) and Jordyn McCarthy (10).

Beyond the Game
Some difficulties can be solved through the gym. [Early on the biggest achievement with weight training is] I lost a lot of weight. I think the first time I did I lost about 40 something pounds, sophomore Tyler Stankewitz said.
Students Hustle for the Muscle
The first home game under the coaching of Jennifer Talbert was Nov. 21 at 6:30 p.m. against the Battle Spartans in the main gym. The Lady Eagles stepped away with their first official win of the season.
