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.

Billy McLaughlin Performance

Billy McLaughlin a man a myth a legend. This brave individual lost almost everything when he lost his ability to play his guitar. From early on in his life all he ever wanted to do was play guitar. With most musicians it’s not the money they make not the attention they gain it’s the love of the music that they play that makes them who they are. No one can be expected to take that part of them away. But with Billy McLaughlin his never ceasing love of music had him do something amazing. He learned to play the guitar twice. He knew what he wanted he had what he wanted lost it over came adversity and could do what he loved play guitar. The obstacle that came in his way was focal dystonia. This is a rare nerve disease that stopped him from making it did not stop him from finding the hope to fight on through and win. This inspiration tale of hope shows how indomitable the human spirit is. We all are faced with problems and pains it’s what unites the human race but that doesn’t mean that we should give in to our fears and doubts. Hopefully this tale of a man a dream and hope will inspire someone to face their problems head on and that we can come out on top.

Halloween

Halloween the time of year we find ourselves dressing up going out and accepting candy from strangers. How many people actually know the history of this holiday? Halloween actually hails from the Celtic pagan holiday Samhain (pronounced "sah-win"). The celts belived that on this night the worlds of the living and the dead become thinner so the dead can come to the land of the living thus dressing up scares away the dead. The children that would dress up would usally be rewarded with candy that is how the handing out of candy. This is why candy handing out is a custom.


Charlie Brown is the one person I identify with. C.B. is such a loser. He wasn't even the star of his own Halloween special.

Kelly movie review

 Real steel is rocky meets sok'em Bop'em on the lifetime chanel. The movie tells the story of a beat neck dad Charlie Keyton (Hugh Jackman) reconecting with his son Max (Dakota Goyo). In the opening of Real steel Charlie is at a rodeo where he is having his old boxing robot fight a bull. Initally Charlie maxes a bad choice when he bets his robot vs the bull for to much money. After his robot is killed by the bull charlie gets a call saying his former girlfriend has died and he is now responsable for his 11 year old son. Charlie skips out on his debters and goes to sign over the rights of custody to his ex's sister who is Maxs aunt Debera(hope Davis). Charlie seeing that Debra's new boyfriend is very rich he formulates a plan to sell the rights of Max to them. So charlie works out a deal with Debera's Husband Marvin(James Rebhorn) to spend the summer with Max. Then using the money he buys a robot that later  is destroyed blowing all of Charlies money. Then Charlie brings max to the robot junkyard looking fior parts max almost dies falling of a cliff but is saved by an old g-2 robot that later max brings back to charlies place. The father son clash find common ground and fight there way to the top of the ranks with there little bot. Well the parts in this movie are filled with good actors and as much C.G.I. Hollywood could through up, Real Steel is very perdictable and even though it has Elements of some origanality the over all theme is a little worn out. This movie is good for those who just want to watch a robot kill another robot or actually want a heart touching emotional movie but to the tone of the same old song dance of every movie.

The team will face Bowler tomorrow night in regional finals at Lakeland High School. The game begins at 7 p.m. Hopefully the boys will take home to plaque two years in a row! Good luck!

The boys received balloons from Penny Belland, Sara Cleereman, and Missi Rosio after the game! We're proud of you boys!

Max Wolosyn says "NO!" to Wabeno's Joey Kroll's shot.

Jake (Brucie) Ambrosious was concentrating heavily when shooting his end of the game free throws. He was about as consistent as Jordan Taylor! :)

The stands were filled with purple and green tonight.

On our side of the gym the crowd was awfully excited after a Matt Belland block.

There Was No Luck in Our Charms Last Night

The Kelly's fell short of a victory in last night's battle versus the Goodman Falcons. Both teams fought through overtime, with Goodman eventually getting the victory with a score of 51-41.

Like father, like son. Adoring fan Jake Terry sports his best imitation of Goodman's coach, John Osterman.

Logan Chrisman pulls up from the top of the arc, but sadly it did not go in. Logan had 12 points for the night.

Max Wolosyn was the early scorer for the Kelly's. Max was the leading scorer with 13 points.
