Veterans - Opinion

by Brevyn Olson


Veterans are very important so we should respect them. Veterans do so much for us they fight for us veterans. Veterans die for us. It's so important to be respectful to veterans. Some people think it's not that important to be a veteran. And I hope you can tell others that veterans do a lot for us. Veterans help kids go to school and help people go to work. Veterans help stop wars. Veterans also save the animals. Veterans take time out there day to sometimes talk to us. Veterans half to leave their families and their kids for us. to fight the war and they might die for us. And what some people do they think it's not important. So tell other veterans are important. Thank you veterans for doing what you do.

The Championship Game

 by Allison In’t Veld

The championship game between Yankton and Pierre was a tough one. Many fans were excited to see how the game was going to go. All the fans were on the edge of their seats waiting for the game to start. The game started with Yankton’s Josue Trujillomelgoza kicking off. Pierre received it around the thirty yard line, and they were off. Pierre’s number 2, Tyan Buss ran it to the 40 yard line. Pierre Continued to run the ball most of the time in the next few plays. They got far enough that they eventually felt comfortable to pass it in for a touchdown. The pass-while being a good pass-was overthrown and resulted in an incomplete pass. Now I’m not going to go play by play but I will give the important details. Around the end of the first quarter, and I mean like a minute left Pierre called a timeout. Right after they called a timeout Pierre ran it in for a touchdown and the first quarter ended with a score of 7 to 0. The next quarter started as Ynkton’s ball and soon after they started Yankton punted all the way to the 2 yard line. When we went in to score before we even started there was a flag. The flag ended up being a false start on the offense.(which was us) The ball was now Pierre’s and they immediately turned it around. They threw a pass to number 5, Cade Kaiser and he ran it in for a touchdown! Their kicker made the field so the score was now 14 to 0. Pierre’s punt was caught by number 12, Carson Ness. Yankton’s Middle School social studies teacher, Mr. Hueber was doing a great job coaching. This game went back and forth between Yankton and Pierre. There were some calls that fans weren't happy with on either side but in the end this game is one that everybody is going to remember. I mean clearly the fans will remember it, they were everywhere and the dome was packed. This game was truly amazing and it's awesome that the Bucks even got here. The end score was 35 to 7 and sadly we lost. But I don't think that this loss is going to stop any of the bucks. Some will play next year and some will do amazing in college. I think all the Bucks have a bright future and amazing talent.

New Lunch Rule - Opinion

By: Jerry Lati


The lunch rules have been changed. The problem is we cannot go up and get some sauces for example what if you forget to do get some ranch. Another problem we cannot get up and get straw and you forget to get one. The last lunch rules we go to go up and get the things we forgot to get but the new lunch rules we have to raise our hands and ask for one same goes to napkins, spoons, forks. Last lunch rules we had to clean our tables and wash it but now the lunchroom do the cleaning. They wash the tables and make us food so I think we need to thank them once a while. What do you think middle schoolers should bring back our old lunch rules???

6th Grade Basketball sign up days were Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct 17th and 18th at 3:30 in the north gym. The coaches are Mrs. Savey and Mrs. Healy. They begin the meeting at 3:30 and end at 5:00. The practice days are every day. They start with stretches like high knees and more. Once they get a hold of a basketball they practice shuffling the ball, passing it, dribbling it though their legs etc. Overall that is the 6th grade basketball.
