“I think we had a pretty good tournament, but for us to make it to state we are going to have to perform better than we did with the exception of Tavin,” said, Don Swisher, head golf coach.

The JV also had a great performance in which they took places 1-5. In first place was Preston Sides, who shot a 7-over par, 42. Preston has been varsity for most of the year until this tournament.

“I started off really bad with seven straight bogies, but ended well with two pars,” said, Preston Sides, 11.

Two golfers tied with 45’s, Walker Degenhardt, and Hayden May 9. Instead of playing in a playoff they just went by whoever had the best score on the #1 handicap hole, which was Hayden. Fourth went to Hunter Price with a 46, and fifth was Nils Bergsten with a 47. Loren McDaniel didn’t place and shot a 52.

“Both JV and Varsity had a good tournament especially because we haven’t had much practice all year,” said, Don Swisher.

In the first game, the Panthers jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead after the top of the first inning. But, the Wildcats fought back to get the score within one at 2-1 at the end of the first inning.

After the first inning, the Wildcats never looked back and dominated the rest of the game leading to a run-rule. Justin Rieschick hit a two-run homerun in the bottom of the 6^th inning to end the game one inning early.

“We knew that once we had a lead we would be okay,” Chase Wilson, 12, said. “We just had to somehow get the lead.

In the second game, the Panthers once again got out to an early lead at 1-0 after the first inning. It took the Wildcats a little bit, but they finally got on the scoreboard with a solo homerun from Jason Yingst in the bottom of the 4^th inning.

The Wildcats added another run in the 5^th, and held a 2-1 lead going into the final inning. But, after a series of errors, Royal Valley scored 4 runs to take a 5-2 lead into the bottom of the 7^th. The Wildcats fought back, however, and tied the game at 5-5 to force extra innings.

Once again, the Panthers scored three runs to take an 8-5 lead going into the bottom of the 8^th inning. The Wildcats fought back to get two runs, but couldn’t get the final one across that they needed and fell 8-7 in the nightcap.

“We fought back but just couldn’t get the job done,” Yingst, 11, said.

The Wildcats will conclude the regular season with a home game against Atchison next Thursday.

North Korea and South Korea were split about the time the Cold War was ending. North Korea wanted communism and South Korea saw different political views. The United States came to aid South Koreans, which angered North Korea. The Americans fought along side the South Koreans against the North Koreans who were allied with the Russians during the Korean War.  The threat from the North Koreans to the South Koreans has remained there ever since.

The United States does not need another war on their hands – let alone a nuclear war. Countries around North Korea are also watching closely. China is trying to calm down the instability of their people by the border while Japan and South Korea pray that Kim’s threats aren’t enforced.

North Korea has nowhere to go. Leaders around the world wouldn’t stand for a nuclear war. China needs to step in further to do something. With a big military China, the United States, South Korea, and Japan could stand up against Kim. The only problem is to not set off the next World War III.

In order to compete a student must fill out an application and include a resume on a preprinted form. The competition was February “I thought it was going to be an actual spelling bee, since it was named constitution bee but it was nothing like that,” said, Hamlin.

The Flint Hills TEA Party Educational Fund Inc. is a non-profit organization; people are able to make donations. TEA stands for “Taxed Enough Already,” the idea of the distribution of scholarships came from John Matta. It’s a unique way to get a scholarship for college and easy for students that know a lot about the constitution, it encourages students to learn more about the government and our Founders.

“I talked with the students in class and provided hand-outs to anyone who was interested and I’m hoping to take more students in the next years,” said, McAsey. The competition is centered on the Constitution, students are asked questions in the form of written quizzes and they are ranked according to their correct answers, 17 students competed from all over the state. This last constitutional bee was only the second year they had held the competition. The next Constitution Bee will be in 2014, so make sure to check this out for any scholarships!

All schools in Kansas competed in this competition.  Over 1,000 students competed and seven of them were from Holton.  In the FBLA competition students either go for performance events or for subject testing.  Subject testing is virtually just a business test in various subjects such as Sports Management, Personal Finance, of Business Communications.  Performance events are presentations that you prepare prior to attending the competition.  Some of these performance events are Client Services and preparing a business plan.

“I only participated in subject tests, taking Personal Finance, Sports Management, Introduction to Business, and Economics,” said Alex Bontrager, 9. “The tests are generally anywhere from 60-80 questions and they are filled out on a bubble sheet.  Unfortunately, the majority of my tests were closer to 80 questions.”

The students have to prepare for competition like it is just a regular test that they are taking in school.  The results from these tests don’t come in until a few days later.

“Taking Mr. Goetz’s Entrepreneurship and Business Essentials class this year really helped me with the tests.  We go over some of the material that is on the tests in class so it makes it easier,” said Bontrager.

Two out of the seven students from Holton placed in this competition.  Bontrager took 8^th place in Intro to Business and 10^th place in Sports Management.  Trent Tanking, 12, also placed 4^th in Accounting II and 7^th in Business Calculations.

“The Holton FBLA chapter competes in the District Leadership conference in Valley Falls. This is typically held in the later part of January,” said Matt Goetz, FBLA Advisor.  “Next year the plan is to spend one day during the first semester touring a large corporation or manufacturer in Topeka, as well as, compete in the same activities.”
