High School Basketball Star Dies on Court

At a Michigan High School, the happiness of clinching a perfect season came at a very big price. 16-year-old Wes Leonard died on the court after hitting the game winning layup in overtime to clinch a perfect season. He was able to hit the shot, celebrate with his teammates, shake the others teams hands, and then get carried by his teammates on the court, being the hometown hero for te night, then suddenly collapsed walking off the court. The medics there tried to help, but couldn't do anything, dying in the hopsital later that night. The cause is unknown, and hopefully the team can overcome this obstacle and keep their season going, with Wes in mind all they way.

New Interview Questions

People I will interview:

Joe Schlosser - SophomoreStud

How did you feel about your season last year?

It was a fun time to hang out with friends and play sports that we love to do. We all know how to have fun, but at the same time, are able to focus on the task at hand, with winning games.”

What are your expectations for the team this year?

That we should win some games and for all of us to do our best, like we always do every year.

What is the best part about Eastview baseball?

Having (Coach) Holle as our coach this year! It should be a blast, considering we are all really close and Holle is a fun guy to hang out with.

Josh Chatfield - Sophomore Superman

The tournament that we hosted was a pretty fun way to hang out with the team. We also got to talk to the other guys from the other teams.

I play 2nd base, pitcher, outfield, and the occasional left-bench. I think the team uses me to my full potential, and I think so too, considering we have done well in the past.”

What is the best part about Eastview baseball?

The coaching staff. Definitely. They are always there for you to help and support you even if you are slumping.

To score 5 or more runs every game. I think that is reachable, considering that we have had a really great offense all these years, and it should stay the same way

What is the best part about Eastview baseball?

I think our field is pretty cool. Coaches are very helpful also, but I really like our fields.

5 Things I Learned from The Interview Course

1. Write a list of 5 to 6 questions that your readers would ask if they heard about this issue.
2. Be sure that you ask them open ended questions to them, so they can explain their answers
3. Ask a question and then stop. Don't apologize for a question you ask.
4. Off the record means many things, but most people take it as not printing what is said when they are talking off record.
5. Questions are the interviewers most important tool during the interview.

BYU Dismisses Player From Basketball Team for Having Premarital Sex

BYU, a smaller conference school from the Mountain West, just got ranked 3rd overall in the entire nation, and they are already on the decline. They lost their game against New Mexico 82-64 after they got the new ranking, but that may not even be the biggest obstacle in their way. They dismissed their third best scorer, and leader in rebounds and blocks per game, Brandon Davies. And for a unique reason, premarital sex with someone. It is against the Student Honor Code for BYU, and so far he has been able to stay in school, just not on the basketball team anymore. It truly is a said story, and hopefully we will see him in the near future, and hopefully, playing basketball, because it is apparent that they really do need more than just Jimmer.

Ruby Bridges: 4 facts

- One of the first black girls to go to an all white school in 1960 in New Orleans
- None of the white kids' parents let thier kid get taught with a black girl in the room, so she ended up getting taught in a class of one by a very nice teacher, on a different floor from everyone else at the school
- Her mom sent her to an all white school so that she could get a better education and lead on to a better job. His dad even lost his job because his boss thought that it was bad that a parent should let their black kid go to school with white kids.
- She grew up and became a travel agent, and Disney made a TV movie about him, and there was also a novel written about her, called The Story of Ruby Bridges in 1995.

Eastview, Eagan share lead in SSC boys basketball

As of right now, the Lightining of Eastview and the Wildcats of Eagan are atop the South Suburban Conference in boy's basketball, with a record in the conference of 13-3. This marks the first time all year Lakeville South has not had at least a share in the lead, as they are now 12-4 after a loss in the last seconds of their game against Eastview on Friday. That game on Friday marked the thrid time in a row that our Lightning held the powerful Cougars to 50 points or less, which makes Coach Gerber very proud. "In our league, we play teams so much that we know each other's stuff," Gerber said. "Games like this are usually going to be lower-scoring." And they were, and even with the low scoring matches that have ben happening, Eastview can now say that with a record of 19-4 overall, they are leading the challenging South Subruban Conference.
