LC earns ‘B’ ranking in state DOE assessment

[email protected]

LC has been awarded a “B” ranking in the State Accountability Assessment conducted by the Indiana Department of Education (DOE). This is an improve-ment from last year’s “C” ranking.

Only two other high schools in Marion County, Speedway and Franklin Central, earned a higher score than LC. Principal Rocky Valadez believes this is because LC is concentrated on the right ������DZȱ ��Ĵ���ȱ ��ȱ ��������ȱ ��ȱ ����ǰȱscience and English classes.

“I think that we’re really concentrat-ing on writing skills and on spending more time reading and really develop-���ȱ �ȱ ��Ĵ��ȱ �����ȱ ��ȱ  ���ȱ  ���ȱ ��ȱ �¡-pected of us on those high stakes tests,” Valadez said.

He also credits the hard work of teachers, who have been working togeth-er and communicating in Professional Learning Community (PLC) meetings ������ȱ ������ȱ ���ȱ ��������ȱ �¡���ȱ ����ȱoutside of class tutoring students.

Results from the State Accountabil-ity Assessment are calculated through �ȱ������¡ȱ�������ȱ������ȱ���¢ȱ�������ȱinto account. Much like students’ grades are calculated, the school is given a GPA ���ȱ����ȱ�ȱ��Ĵ��ȱ�����ǯȱ

The DOE takes into account a ������Ȃ�ȱ ����������ȱ ����ǰȱ �Ĵ�������ȱrate, ECA scores for Algebra I and Eng-lish 10, number of students taking and passing advanced classes and opportu-nities for technical classes like those of-fered at McKenzie Center for Innovation and Technology (MCIT).

Valadez believes in order to improve ��ȱ����ȱ���ȱȃ�Ȅȱ�������ȱ��¡�ȱ¢���ǰȱ��ȱ��ȱ��-portant to focus on students’ schedules. �ȱ�����ȱ����ȱ ���ȱ��¡���£�ȱ�����ȱ ����ȱ��ȱ��ǰȱ���� ���ȱ��������ȱ��ȱ����ȱĚ�¡����-��¢ȱ ��ȱ ����ȱ �����������ȱ ���ȱ �ěȬ������ȱclasses at MCIT or Lawrence North.

“We’re really, at least in the eyes of this accountability model, doing some �����ȱ ���ȱ���ȱ��¢���ȱ��ȱ���ȱ��Ĵ��ȱ����¢ȱsingle day,” Valadez said.

“It’s a combination of great teachers and great kids.”

The Indiana School of Education has named princi-pal Rocky Valadez a Transformational Leader in Education ���ȱ ���ȱ �����ę����ȱ ��-pact he has made in Lawrence Township.

The program hon-ored one teacher and one administrator from a group of the school’s alumni that had been nominat-��ǰȱ����ȱ ���ȱ���ȱ��ȱ�����ȱę���ȱŗŖȱ¢����ȱof their careers.

One of Valadez’s former professors

nominated him because he saw Valadez ��ȱ �ȱ ȃ�����Ȅȱ ��ȱ ���ȱ ę���ȱ ��ȱ ���������ȱwho deserved the recognition.

Valadez began his role in Law-rence Township in January 2001 as a visual arts teach-er here. He pro-gressed to the po-sition as Fall Creek Valley Middle School’s assistant principal in 2008 and then went on to lead the freshman school at LN in 2011. He became principal here last July.

Valadez said he felt most of the sub-stance his award was being given for

Valadez named ‘Transformational Leader’can be credited to his work at Fall Creek Valley, but his career has had a high rise since he came to LC.

“What I see my job as is helping teachers get bet-ter every day so students can have opportunities,” Va-ladez said. “As we look to see where  �ȱ ���ȱ ���ȱ ��Ĵ��ǰȱwe have to make sure we are giving things the time and

giving people the resources they need to get those things done.”

The award was presented on Oct. 26 at the IUPUI Campus Center.

The Lawrence Township

“Change for Change is

��ȱ �ě���ȱ ��ȱ �������ȱ ���ȱ �����ȱchange that students of Law-

rence Township have and use it

for a greater good. The program

hopes to take the money that

one would spend at the vend-

����ǰȄȱ������ȱ��Ĵȱ�����¢ȱ����ǯȱDorsey is LC’s leading repre-

“This year,

we hope to

raise enough

money dur-

ing Change

to fund MAC

hours at LC

and Lawrence North and to

help bring holidays to Law-

rence Township families,” Mus-

ton said. LTSSF is using the

rivalry between LC and Law-

tion to see which high school

can raise the most money

through Change for Change.

be the boys’ basketball game at

during lunches that week lead-

ing up to the game which will

be combined with the money

raised during the game to deter-

Change for Change fundraiser.

LTSSF also plans to collect mon-

“I believe this fundraiser

is important, because it’s using

small amounts of money that

one student won’t miss and

using it for a greater cause,”

Dorsey said. “Unlike many

fundraisers which help kids

in Third-World countries, this

fundraiser is directly helping

the people in need in Lawrence

Township.”

(It’s) an effort to

collect the spare

change... and use it for

a greater good.

help build me into a more well-

known artist.”

Baca won second place for

���ȱ �����ȱ ������ǰȱ � �ȱ ę����ȱdrawings and an abstract piece

she made in her painting class.

Baca is currently in AP art

and advanced 2D art, both with

art teacher

Vicki Sha-

fer. Redifer

is enrolled in

advanced 2D

art, drawing

and AP art

with Shafer

as well. The

Baca submit-

ted were of

two fellow

classmates in her AP art class.

“This award means a lot to

me; it’s shown me my ability

and how, if I push myself, I can

do amazing things,” Baca said.

Students will submit more

artwork for similar competi-

tions in December.

Cub Reporter is honored with Hoosier StarThe Cub Reporter has been

named a 2012 Hoosier Star by

the Indiana High School Press

Association (IHSPA). It was

also a Hoosier Star last year.

“For many years we’ve been

a Hoosier Star or we’ve been in

the running if we haven’t been a

Hoosier Star,” adviser Elizabeth

Granger said.

The award is given to the

“best of Indiana high school

journalism,” according to the

IHSPA. Editions of the Cub

Reporter from the 2011-2012

school year were judged for this

award. Senior Samantha Strong

was editor-in-chief; she contin-

ues in the position this year.

This Hoosier Star title was

also awarded to Carmel High

School’s newspaper HiLite and

Crown Point

High School’s

n e w s p a p e r

Inklings.

“ T h e

Cub, without

a doubt, has

the talent to

be a Hoosier

Star, but we

have to keep

working at

it,” Granger

said. “Sometimes it’s harder to

stay at the top than it is to get to

the top... Without a doubt they

can do it, but they have to have

that desire more than anything

else because I know we’ve got

the talent.”

Granger said that practicing

solid journal-

���ǰȱ ��Ĵ���ȱhard with

news, always

linking sto-

ries to LC and

never omit-

ting stories in

opinions, fea-

tures, sports

and arts and

entertainment

was key in be-

coming a Hoosier Star.

ȃ����ȱ ¢���Ȃ�ȱ ���ěȱ ������ȱto have kind of a family feel to

it. People seemed to care about

the paper, and they cared about

each other, so they worked to-

gether to help every single sec-

tion of the paper.”

The Cub has also won many

other awards including Silver

Crowns from Columbia Uni-

versity, Gallup awards from

Quill and Scroll, and Pacemak-

er awards and All-American

ratings from the National Scho-

lastic Press Association (NSPA).

In 2004, the Cub Reporter was

inducted into the NSPA All-

American Hall of Fame for

achieving All-American rat-

ings for 10 out of 11 consecutive

years. LC’s was the second Indi-

ana newspaper to be inducted

into the Hall of Fame; Carmel’s

In this day and age of

social networks such as Twit-

ter, Instagram and Tumblr,

Facebook is becoming the new

Myspace. Even though Face-

book is so 2009, I still catch

myself logging in and checking

my newsfeed. Especially when

I have something important to

do; like reading for APUSH…

I have come to realize that

there are a couple of groups

that we can categorize our

Facebook friends into: The

Tweeter, the Commentator, Ro-

meo and Juliet, and the Seeker.

The Tweeter seems to be

confused as to which website

they are actually on. Common

symptoms of this Facebook

user is multiple updates in one

hour, or the use of hashtags

in their statuses. Remember,

if you want to give the world

minute by minute updates

about your life, just create a

� �Ĵ��ȱ�������ǯȱ

The Commentator is

someone who repeatedly com-

ments on a status or picture

����ȱ�Ğ��ȱ¢��ȱ����ȱ�������ȱreplying to him. Is it just me,

��ȱ��ȱ¢��ȱ����ȱ���ȱ�ȱ��Ĵ��ȱ����ȱ��ȱ�¡��������ȱ�Ğ��ȱ���������ȱ�ȱ����ę������ȱ��¢���ȱ����ȱ����ȱcommented on your status

about tonight’s episode of How

I Met Your Mother? However,

what began as mutual agree-

����ȱ�����ȱ�� ȱ�Ĵ�������ȱ����ȱPatrick Harris is soon becomes

a 30 post long conversation

between people you barely

know. To say the least, it is

annoying.

The Romeo and Juliet of

Facebook are people who just

can’t seem to stay in a relation-

ship. In love with someone

one day, they break up the

next. Their relationship status

is constantly changing, and

�����ȱ����ȱ��ȱę����ȱ ���ȱ������ȱupdates about “love.” Word to

���ȱ ���DZȱ�����¢ȱ��ȱ���ȱ�����-net actually cares about your

relationship problems.

The last Facebook group is

���ȱ������ǯȱ����ȱ������ȱ�Ğ��ȱposts statuses telling their

friends that they will do a

“Truth is…” or ask for a certain

amount of likes on their status.

The Seeker may also take

multiple photos of themselves

and post them. This user is

�������¢ȱ�������ȱ���ȱ�Ĵ������ǰȱbut it becomes embarrassing if

nobody “likes” their posts.

Although Facebook is

becoming less and less popular

 ���ȱ�� ȱ�����ȱ����ȱ��ȱ� �Ĵ��ȱand Instagram, it is still my

favorite way to procrastinate

on school nights. I can plead

guilty to nearly all of these at

some time or another. I am

sure you can, too. With that

in mind, let’s make a pact as a

society to stop annoying one

another.

waiting and long lines. Similar

to the United States. However,

there is still that sense of a

simpler life. That was proved

when I saw a boy swimming in

a fountain in the main plaza.

We walked all day, every

day. In the main street, I saw

a man shouting aggressively

with a Bible in his hand; it

reminded me of pictures of

the Great Awakening in the

APUSH book. There were Bud-

dhists standing calmly passing

���ȱ�����������ǯȱ�ȱ�� ȱ���ȱę���ȱblack people I had seen in a

long time. They get about as

many stares as I do with my

blonde hair.

We went to an old man-

sion built in the 1500s, El

�����ǯȱ��ȱ ��ȱę����ȱ ���ȱgardens and fountains and

beautiful old arches. From the

top of El Cerro, the mountains

are visible behind the city. It’s a

strange contrast; those tall un-

inhabited mountains surround-

ing a city full of people. We

visited a cathedral, the ceilings

high and painted like I imagine

them in Rome.

It’s amazing to think that

such diversity can exist in a city

and in the same country just six

hours away.

Six hours north, and I felt

like I was at home. Everything

is faster. The people are colder,

more diverse.

Chile’s capital, Santiago,

hosts a population of more

than 5 million. The state of

Indiana has about 6 million

inhabitants. I visited Santiago

with my host family and found

��ȱ�����¢ȱ��ě�����ȱ����ȱ�¢ȱ“home city,” Los Angeles, six

hours south. Los Angeles is

a small city, where everyone

knows everyone, and 15 min-

utes is a long drive. Santiago

reminded me of Chicago,

with three times the people.

Strangers walk past each other

without comment, unlike in

Los Angeles where strangers

can appear to be friends. Sun-

days are not a day for sleeping,

and there is less patience for

Summits and satisfaction

Mitch Prather

It’s a fantastical search for

an old man on a mountain

who has all the answers. It’s a

desperate search for happiness

and relief.

But it’s something we see

only in cartoons.

In a world where we are

besieged every day by things to

do and people to see and plac-

��ȱ��ȱ��ǰȱęȱ�����ȱ����ȱ��ȱ����¡ȱcan be a tough thing. In fact,

������ȱęȱ��ȱ����ȱ�¢������ȱ������ȱto be, unfortunately, a legiti-

mate option for sanity! It seems

people just desperately want to

be happy.

OK, well sure. Don’t you?

What is happiness, then?

That’s a really large question,

I understand. I suppose that’s

why most people would rather

have the answer told to them

by a sage elder than have to

ęȱ��ȱ���ȱ���ȱ����������ǯȱPersonally, I talked with

some of the sage elders at my

church during the fellowship

hour. It’s safe to say that the

happiness question remains

unsolved, but the cookies did

not remain uneaten…

Fortunately, I have some

advice I have found to be pret-

�¢ȱ�ěȱ������ǯȱ���ȱ �¢ȱ��ȱ�����ȱabout achieving happiness is to

����ȱ��ȱ����ȱ�ȱ��Ĵȱ��ȱ���ǯThe real key to unlocking

���������ȱ��ȱ����ęȱ����ȱ ���ȱhappiness is to you. Essentially,

that’s what you are doing when

¢��ȱ�����ȱ��ȱ���ȱ��Ĵȱ��ȱ������ǯȱ��ȱmeans you have decided that,

ties that have been discovered

in the upper regions of moun-

tain ranges around the world

who have never had contact

with the industrialized world

before.

In some reports of these

discoveries, these people were

described as being the “happi-

est people in the world.”

No one had ever told them

what being happy meant, so

they just decided to be happy

themselves.

It’s your choice to be happy

or not. That’s all I’m saying.

If it helps at all, you can

know that I believe in you, for

what it’s worth. Just believe in

yourself.

And I guess, if it suits you,

taking a stay in the mountains

may not be such a bad idea

Marisela Abel did not vote in the Nov. 6 election.

She wasn’t old enough. By just six days. She celebrated her 18th birthday Nov. 12.

“I’m 18 and I wish I could have voted. I would have voted for Obama,” Abel said. ȃ�����ȱ���ȱ��� �ȱ����ȱ�ȱ������ȱ ���ȱ��Ĵȱȱ���Ȭney, but overall, I agreed with Obama.”

Although Abel was not able to vote in this election, she stays informed and has strong opinions on political issues.

Abel said she believes it was the infamous ȃŚŝȱ�������Ȅȱ�������ȱ����ȱ�����������ȱ��ȱ���Ȭney’s loss. “Because we’re the 47 percent,” she said. “We’re the ones who struggle because of that, not him. He’s been rich all his life.”

In the national election, 19 percent of the voters were between the ages of 18 and 29, one �������ȱ����ȱ����ȱ¢����ȱ������ȱ��ȱ���ȱ����ȱ����Ȭtion.

While Abel thinks age decided the vote, U.S. government teacher Nicholas Derado said that demographics are the deciding factor. “A larger ����������ȱ��ȱ�������Ȭ���������ȱ���ȱ��������ȱvoted than Caucasians (in the school election),” Derado said, “and based on demographics of ���ȱ������¢ǰȱ����������ȱ����ȱ��ȱ����ȱ����ȱ����Ȭcratic than Caucasians.”

Applying for the futureIt’s that time of the year

again, when seniors start pre-paring for that next step in life. They have several options to ������ȱ����ȱ�Ğ��ȱ����ȱ������ǯȱThey can enter the work force, join the military or begin col-lege.

Many employers require some form of post-secondary education, which is why get-ting into college is important. The college application process can be hectic when it comes to ę�����ȱ���ȱ������������ǰȱ����¢-���ȱ���ȱ������������ȱ���ȱę���-cial aid; to make it worse there are time-crunching deadlines.

Guidance counselor Su-zanne Oakes is in charge of all scholarship information. This year the goal for the class of 2013 is to get $9.5 million in scholarships.

“Finding scholarships is like a big research project,” Oakes said. “You have to get

���ȱ�����ȱ���ȱę��ȱ�����ę�ȱscholarships for you.” Many scholarships are available on individual colleges’ websites as well as on scholarship websites such as fastweb.com. Oakes is also in charge of the LC Schol-arship List Serve.

Although the college ap-plication process can seem overwhelming, it can be done. One of the most important things to remember when go-ing through this process is to choose a realistic college for you. Put yourself in the best position to have a chance at ��Ĵ���ȱ��������ȱ�¢ȱ��������ȱwhat colleges require; for in-stance, GPA, ACT and SAT test scores, high school transcripts. LC uses an online transcript service called Parchment.

“Parchment makes it easier for students to request tran-scripts and send them elec-tronically to colleges,” Oakes said. Students must go online to create a Parchment account before requesting transcripts.

As far as Mexican cuisine goes, the staples are generally fundamental: tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc. What sets apart restaurant quality, however, is how they’re prepared and what ingredients are used in the process.

���������ȱ������ȱ�ěȱ������ȱ�¢ȱ�������ȱ�����ȱ����ȱballs and using a tortilla presser to create instantly fresh tortillas. At Mexican restaurants I had been to in the past, they either had the tortillas prepared ahead of time or made all of the food in the kitchen. Making fresh tortillas on the spot set Pancheros apart from the rest, and see-ing them made in under two seconds was ��ę�����¢ȱ����-thing new.

The tortillas are then placed on a grill to heat them before they are made into the dish of your choice. The restaurant is set up assembly line style for making orders, and casual self-seating for dining.

Personally, I went with the standard choice of chicken tacos, because they’re a universal dish in Mexican cuisine and would be easiest to com-pare to ones I’ve had in the past. In addition to the chili-tamarind marinated chicken, I added cheese, ��Ĵ���ǰȱ����ȱ�����ȱ���ȱ�����ȱ����ȱ������ȱ�����ǯȱ�Ȃ�ȱnot much of a spicy eater so the mild salsa suited �¢ȱ�����ȱ����ȱ����ȱę��ǯȱ�¢ȱ�����ȱ����ȱ������ȱ����ȱ�ȱ

mess similar to taco salad, and I had to resort to my fork as they fell apart. As my mom would say, “Messy... but good.” Of course, she didn’t have

much room to talk considering she got an easy chicken quesadilla, but her point still reigned true.

Pancheros’ menu is simple. Their company is �����ȱ��ȱ���ȱ������ȱ����ǰȱȃ��ȱ¢��ȱ�����ȱ��ȱ��Ĵ��ǰȱ���¢ȱ(the customers) will come.”

a goofy side to them and could have been rated G, even back in the ‘60s. There have been plenty of Bond stars since, like Pierce Brosnan, who played Bond in the ‘90s and early this century. There have also been duds, like George Lazenby, who was only allowed to play Bond once in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, which was as big a dud as Ryan Leaf was with the San Diego Chargers. If you don’t get the connection, just Google the name “Ryan Leaf” and you’ll understand.

But, in my amateur opinion, I believe Daniel Craig has cemented his place as the second best actor to play Bond. No one is going to out-do Connery because (1) he played Bond for so long and (2) the goofy ����ȱę�ȱ���ȱ��¢��ȱ��������¢ǯȱ�����ǰȱ��ȱthe other hand, has taken a much ����ȱ���Ĵ¢ȱ���ȱ��������ȱ����ȱ��ȱBond.

Born To Sing:

No Plan B is the 35th studio album for 67 year old Northern Irish singer Morrison, who is known for both his 1967 hit “Brown Eyed Girl” and his stream-of-consciousness lyrics.

On his new album, released on Oct. 2, Morrison speaks of economic trou-bles, greed and power. Money seems worthless in the song “If in Money We Trust,” and in “End of the Rainbow,” Morrison argues that there’s “no social ladder to climb around here.” It’s never said who the “they” are that some songs reference, but it’s clear that Morri-���Ȃ�ȱ����ȱ��ȱ����ǯȱ����ȱ�Ğ��ȱ��ȱ���¢ȱ��-bums and so many years, Morrison still

pop artist that is currently popular.Songs like

“Figure 8” and “Hanging On” have captivat-ing beats that are bound to stick in your head.

Other songs like “Explosions” and “I Know You Care” are slower and provide good contrast to Goulding’s usually upbeat style.

�������ȱ������������ȱ ���ȱ���Ĵ���ȱDJ Calvin Harris on the track “I Need Your Love,” which is a typical electron-ic-dance track.

Overall, Halcyon is a very well- rounded album with a variety of both fast and calm songs. The only drawback is that auto-tune is noticeable on several tracks.

Compton native Kendrick Lamar �������ȱ���ȱę���ȱ�����ȱ�����ȱ�����ȱGood Kid M.A.A.D City on Oct. 22.

This highly anticipated album is ��ę�����¢ȱ�ȱ��� �ȱ�������ȱ���ȱ���ȱ���Ȭhop fans. Lamar keeps listeners want-ing more and more as every track tells a story.

The album is already being called a “classic” as Lamar delivers some of his most creative lyrics on ����ȱ��ȱ���ȱ��Ĵ���ȱbeats. With hits like “Swimming Pools” and “Compton,” you can’t go wrong.

One of my favorite songs, “Poetic Justice” featuring Drake, is a catchy

track that describes Kendrick’s relation-ship with a girl named Sherane.

Good Kid M.A.A.D City also features popular artists like Dr. Dre, Jay Rock,

MC Eiht and Anna Wise.

Overall, I consider Lamar’s debut album a huge success and ��ę�����¢ȱ����ȱ

forward to hearing more from this great lyricist.

Lamar’s album is available on iTunes and in stores.

���ȱ�� ȱ��¢���ȱ� �Ğȱ�����ȱRed has become one of the top selling records by selling a total of 1.2 million albums in the debut week. It has also made it to No. 1 on the Bill-board Top 200.

��ȱę���ȱ������ȱreleased from this album, “We are �����ȱ�Ĵ���ȱ����ȱTogether” rose to the top of the charts as well.

This album is unlike any other album with topics ranging from upbeat pop songs to slow country, leading it

to stray over more to the pop genre instead of country.

However, her songwriting topics still revolve around boys. Breaking up  ���ȱ����ȱ���ȱ��Ĵ���ȱ����ȱ��������ȱwith them.

The Life Obscura

”...move all your deck fur-niture inside and possibly demolish your patio...“

The Ceremonialsof taxidermy

October came and went, and now it’s time for another column full of the strange and odd.

For starters, here’s a story out of Albequerque that will make you want to move all your deck furniture inside, lock your doors and possibly demolish your patio.

On Oct. 25, the Dentandt family in New Mexico woke ��ȱ��ȱęȱ��ȱ����ȱ���ȱfurniture on their outside patio had been rearranged during the night…for the second time. The week before, the same thing had occurred, but the family had laughed ��ȱ�ěȱȱ���ȱ���ȱ���ȱ������ȱ���ȱ�����ȱ����ȱin their right places. But during the day and the night of Oct. 25, surveillance cameras recorded a mystery woman coming up on the Dentandt’s patio and moving around their furniture. Why the woman feels compelled to move the Dentandt’s furniture remains unknown, and the family says they really don’t mind, as long as it doesn’t happen a third time.

Looking to spice up your playlist

 ���ȱ����ȱ��ěȱ�����ȱ�����ǵȱ�����ȱ���ȱindie rock band Florence + The Ma-chine. The British band, which consists of singers Florence Welch, Isabella Summers and a variety of backing musicians, blends rock with soul for a grand result. Welch’s mezzo soprano vocals are powerful and haunting, and the themes of the songs are darkly mysterious. Two good songs are “Dog ��¢�ȱ���ȱ����Ȅȱ�ěȱȱ�����ȱęȱ���ȱ�����ȱLungs, and “What the Water Gave Me” from the band’s second album, Ceremo-nials.

For an out-of-the-box TV show, look no further than Oddities: San Francisco. A spin-�ěȱȱ��ȱ���ȱ������ȱshow, Oddities, the show follows the daily happen-ings at the Loved

With Audra’s perfectionistic handpicking of items, Wednesday’s cheerful friendliness, and Korri’s constant jokes and antics, Oddi-ties: San Francisco is a great show for fans of Oddities and anyone who loves the weird and obscure.

The Bears have certainly

had a season to remember.

Along with being ranked No.

1 in the state, winning Confer-

ence Indiana and going unde-

feated, the boys earned their

second State Championship

game berth in three years.

However, the path to get

�����ȱ  ��ȱ ���ȱ ���Ĵ¢ǯȱ ��ȱ �����ǰȱ���ȱ��ȱ���Ĵ¢ȱ��ȱ���ȱ�������ȱ���-son. The boys won Sectionals

on Nov. 2 against North Cen-

tral. The Bears high-powered

�ě����ȱ�������ȱ��ȱ���ȱ��ȱ���¢ȱ21 points on the evening due

��ȱę��ȱ ���������DZȱ ����ȱ �������ȱand one interception.

That was not the case at all

in the Regional victory over

Pike, and that made all the dif-

ference.

ȃ��ȱ ����Ȃ�ȱ ����ȱ ę��ȱ ����-

overs,” head coach Jayson West

said, with a laugh, about the

team’s turnaround from the

week before. “If we didn’t have

those turnovers against North

Central, in the red zone, we

could have scored on any one

of those and it could have been

28-7 and everyone would be

feeling all warm and fuzzy.”

The 49-21 win over the Red

Devils was marked by explo-

sive plays, but not all of them

 ���ȱ ����ȱ ���ȱ �ě����ǯȱ ������ȱ���¢ȱ �����ȱ ��������ȱ �ȱ ę���ȱquarter punt for a touchdown

while junior linebacker Bran-

don Lee returned a fumble and

interception for two scores.

“It was surprising because

I hadn’t scored since early in

the season,” Lee said regarding

his two defensive touchdowns.

“When I got the ball, I knew

what to do. My teammates,

(seniors) Jalen Easler and De-

���ȱ ��Ĵ�����ǰȱ ������ȱ ��ȱ ���ȱthroughout both the plays.”

Though these were the

ę���ȱ ���������ȱpoints scored

in a while

for the Bears,

they’ve hardly

been a slouch

on that end. In

fact, the Bears’

defense has

only allowed

more than 10

������ȱ��ȱ�ȱ����ȱę��ȱ�����ȱ���ȱ20 points on three of those oc-

casions.

“Coach Rob (Robertson)

and the guys have a lot of fun

over there,” West said. “They’re

very athletic and very coach-

able. This is going to be the big-

gest challenge they’re going to

have all year.”

“This” would be referring

to the Semi-State game against

Center Grove, one of the top

teams in the

state. The

powerful and

d i s c i p l i n e d

Trojans were

set to pos-

sibly be the

t o u g h e s t

test the boys

would take on

this season,

but, Lee believed, the Bears are

��������ȱ���ȱ����ȱ��Ĵ��ǯ“They’re a strong team, but

every team is strong right now,”

Lee said. “They’re really disci-

Winning from losingColumn designs/Sara Heiny

Loss, or any variation of the word, is the enemy of all sports fans, the arch nemesis of all of those who have ever competed in any sport. Whether you get ��� �ȱ���ȱ��ȱ����ȱ��ȱ�ȱ ���Ȭ�ěȱhome run, the taste of defeat will stick to your taste buds until you get the opportunity ��ȱ ����������ǯȱ ���ȱ  ���Ȭ�ěȱhome run could come on the ę���ȱ�����ǰȱ ����ȱ�����ȱ�����ȱ��ȱ���ȱ ȂŖřȱ ����ȱ �������ȱ ���ȱ ���ȱ��¡ǰȱ��ȱ ��ȱ �����ȱ����ȱ�ěȱ�ȱ ����ȱcount at the end of a grueling at-bat. Either way, it’s tough to deal with.

Victory is as sweet a scent

as there could be, but it seems to last in the air for merely sec-onds. Defeat, on the other, cold hand, reso-nates in the air like that ����¢���ȱ Ě¢ȱyou can’t get rid of, no mat-ter how hard you try, or like Dan Dierdorf a n n o u n c i n g ��������ȱ�����ǯȱ��ȱ��Ĵ��ȱ�� ȱhard we try, he’ll always be �������ȱ����ȱ���ȱ���ǯȱ���ȱ �ȱ��-gress…

Losing is synonymous with

failure. Failure is the epitome of disgrace, a feat that can only be accomplished by succumbing

to your op-ponent. The �ě����ȱ ��ȱ ��-feat don’t only elicit disgust, ���ȱ ����ȱ �Ĵ��ȱd i s a p p o i n t -ment from the fact that you weren’t good

enough. The feeling of failure can hardly be put into words, but you know that once you taste failure, you can’t wait to brush it out of your mouth. Fail-

ure is like a tar that sticks like a tumor to your insides, eating at you until you give in.

The lone light in failure, however, is that you don’t have to give in to losing. You can ę���ȱ ����ǯȱ �������ȱ ��ȱ �������ȱthrough your dungeon of de-pression from losing, you can rise from the ashes and come ����ȱ��ȱ ��ȱ���ȱ��¡�ȱ��¢ǯȱ
