See You at the Pole was Wednesday, September 22nd at 7:45 A.M. The speaker was Jerry Karnes. He spoke about the back-ground of “See You at the Pole” and the point of it. “See You at the Pole” began in 1990. It occurs every year on a Wednesday in September. Christian students join in prayer, scripture read-ing, and fellowship early in the morning before school. “See you at the pole” has grown over the years not only in the United

States but world wide. Thank you to Chris-tian Faith Outreach for providing juice, donuts, and most importantly, the speaker.

Commerce faced off against district foe Ketchum in their first dis-trict game. The Tigers started on defense first, and held the Warriors to punt on fourth down. Commerce offense wasted no time in scoring a touchdown on the first possession of the game, when Kasey Ng threw a touchdown to his brother Kyler Ng. Ketchum got the ball back but, had no luck against the Tiger D. When the Tigers got back on offense, Bry-son S. scored a fifteen yard touchdown. The Commerce defense held Ketchum to 169 yards rushing and only twelve yards passing. The Com-merce offense rushed thirty-one times for 325 yards, and also passed ten times for 151 yards. All in all the Tigers had a successful homecom-ing night and got their first district win of the season.

During the week of the of September 13-17 we gave our recognition to all the survivors and the ones still facing the battle of cancer. NHS was the main sponsor of this event. They sold silicone bracelets with the words hope, strength, survivor & faith. NHS also let the teachers pay 1$ to wear jeans and the students 1$ to wear caps to school. This was a great fund raiser for the United Cancer fund. We also sold shirts for our own cancer survivor, Ms. Moudy. There were around 1,000 “Just Beat It” shirts sold. Everyone wore their “Just beat it” shirts to school on Thursday and to the football game on Friday. There was a great turn out for the football game. The stands were almost all pink. There was also a balloon let go at the half time of the football game. Thank you to all who par-ticipated in our breast cancer awareness week. Many people greatly appreciate it!

The spook light is supposedly a haunted road that has an eerie light crossing it when summoned by visitors. They are searching for an unex-plained enigma, a puzzle that most people actually seem to find. It has been a mystery since 1866. This road has created such a mystery that even the army corps for engineers officially concluded that it was a “mysterious light of unknown origin”.

Commerce and Colcord faced off in a district battle. The Tigers started out a little slow, but they stepped up and took control of the game. The offensive and de-fensive lines domi-nated the game in

the second half. Bryson Sullivan, Kyler Ng, Austin McMain, Blake Witten, Kasey Ng, and Tyler Maxville contributed to scoring the touch-downs which helped the Tigers to win the game.

The two undefeated teams of the district faced off in Friday night’s game. Com-merce (5-0) , who moved up a class, was led by fourteen sen-iors against Adair (5-0), who has been in class 2A football for years. Both teams were very good and stuck to their game plan. The tigers game plan was to run the

ball behind the offen-sive line. Adair's game plan had a duel threat, running and passing. The first half of the game was a close one to call. The tigers drove the ball with seconds on the clock. The second half went well for both teams. Defense was not a factor in this game. Injuries plagued two of the

Commerce varsity players keeping them out for a portion of the game. The game went into overtime. Commerce got the ball first to start the overtime and after three tries at a touch-down the tigers had to settle for a field goal. When Adair got the ball their offense stalled
