Even though we were out

for three days, Cherokee

County Schools kept our

students in mind, and

allowed for the con-

Mother Nature, and the 1972 Dolphins...

What do Mother Na-

ture and the 1972 Dol-

phins have in common?

Both are undefeated.

When I left the building

Tuesday, I jokingly

said; “see you Mon-

day”. Over the next

few days I answered a

ton of emails, got

caught up on paper-

work, and began plan-

ning for the

Edge of the Sword:

• WINTER SPORTS

• CLASSROOM CREATIVITY

• HONORS

practices by our teams

and drama department.

This flexibility allowed

us to get back to work.

Girls basketball notched

a big win, we have a

new County Record

holder in the pool, a duo

of wrestlers had an

awesome tournament,

and despite a lack of

rehearsal time, The Cru-

cible did not disappoint.

You still have Monday

and Tuesday to see it

live before a weekend

full of sports. GO

KNIGHTS!

Here is the schedule for the next few weeks...

“I speak my own sins; I cannot judge another. I have no tongue for it…”

I love The Crucible. It’s great to read, fun to teach, and even more fun to discuss. Our kids have really

done a great job dealing with a ton of unexpected setbacks and pulled together a great show. Find

some time Monday or Tuesday to come out and watch how talented our kids are, and how well Mr.

Fields directs them.

Off the Blocks Quickly...

Our Swim team had a great week as we prep for the State Meet next weekend. Congratulations to sophomore Alex Blankinship for breaking the county record in the 50 yard freestyle with a time of 22.15! He also broke the school record in the 100 yard freestyle with a time of 48.37. Freshman Sarah Brown placed first in both of her indi-vidual events at the county invitational meet. Brown swam a 2:09.07 in the 200 yard IM & a 1:06.18 in the 100 yard breaststroke! Finally, congratulations to our swimmers of the week at our county invitational meet! Kelly Broadwell, Mackenzie Stulack, & Dylan Banker! Thanks to Coach Goodbread, Coach Bulger and Coach Modrzynski for keep-ing me updated.

Hoops…

Our girls bounced back from a tough region loss with a well-played win against North Paulding Satur-

day. Lexi Palmer lead the charge, and our girls are now 13-5 as we finish up Region play. Our boys are

having some tough luck, but playing hard. We’re looking forward to them getting hot at the right time

with the Region tournament around the corner. Come out Friday and Saturday this week to watch our

basketball programs. Our girls made the trip to Athens this weekend to take in some SEC basketball.

Thing to Do and See…

You have several chances over the next couple of weeks to see many of our talented students perform.

Our drama department will be presenting The Crucible, and our students will have the chance to show-

case their talents in our Talent Show. Make some time to come out and support our kids.
