Rebel Softball

It's that time of the year again to start hitting those yellow balls. And next up in the batter box is you. Returning from last year are many talented seniors including Morgan Krawze-catcher, Steph Prasser- third base, Catherine Krawze-short stop/pitcher, Emily Terry- second base, and Jessa Belland- outfield. Having graduated four seniors there will be some opportunity for some of the other girls to step up. Make sure to catch a game and support the lady rebels.

Interview With Logan Chrisman On Last Nights Basketball Game Vs. Crandon

Q. What are you going to do to prepare yourself for the tournament games?

Game Predictions: Rebels vs Bobcats

Tommy: Rebels win, 21-7. This will be one cold game, and blocking is going to be very important!

Zach, also has a positive attitude about the game, but unfortunately we could not get an interview with him. His schedule was booked.

Hopefully the game goes as predicted! (:

Oak Crest Invitational Golf Meet...

Kelly Golfers started off a cold and questionable day with snow on the ground...but by the time we arrived at the course in Norway, Michigan...the ground was green and clear.  Cold..very windy, and a bit discouraging.  Needless to say...as the event progressed, it would see the sun appear and a warmer side.  Still...the winds shot down much of that warmth. 

A very nice course and time had...and on route home, coach Seiler had a short little detour in mind.  Sharing one of his favorite (and many there are...) places to paint outdoors, Long Slide Falls of the Peme Bon Won river.  Just 40 yards from the cul de sac parking spot...and the athletes enjoyed an awesome site, a roaring tumbling falls.  Of course...a quick moment for a team pic!  Then it was off to home...

Check out the Fighting Kellys Golf blog link for further updates on up and coming meets/matches, and the schedule for the season!

Helpful Reminder

As spring approaches we all start dusting off those ATVs to do a little off-roading as a helpful reminder it is a board rule that ATVs are not allowed on school property. This is a board rule and one that will hopefully remind the students to be safe and responsible with their recreational vehicles. If anyone drives to school on any form of  recreational vehicles please remember to park it across from the school.
