On the the 11th of January, SPA hosted Senior Night for our wrestlers. Our seniors this year are Shawn Reynolds(195), Justin East(Heavyweight), Weston Stafford(170), Matt Lydic(220), Chris Crouse(132), and Devin Mitchell(120).
Matt Lydic was presented with the Michael Hood award.
We also brought back a former CSHS wrestler, Nick Hart, to accept his awards for his 100th win, which he achieved last year.
We hosted this event against Northwestern High School.
They had a victory over us, but not much by much! We’ll still keep fighting!
Congratulations to all the seniors and good luck in your future and good job to all our CSHS wrestlers!

It’s hard to believe we are half way through the school year. And only one more half to go! But although your energy probably left after the first week of school, don’t stop participating half way through!
It’s a stuggle for most teens to stay focued enough to listen to the lesson the teacher gives. Most things on teens minds are what they are planning on doing after school, like video games, TV, sports and hanging out with friends, never thinking twice about school or homework. But, staying up until two in the morning playing video games and then getting up at six for school is definitely not healthy.
Staying oraganized is one way to help you focus and achieve greatness in your acedemic career. Start by keeping your homework and other materials needed for class in binders and folders that are labled for each class. Having loose papers stuffed in the wrong folders or binders can add extra clutter and allow you to lose track of your assignments. Choose the right material and organization that best works for you.
Multitasking is not something you should do while studying. If you multitask while you’re studying or doing homework, you are less likely to retain the information you were taught.
Distractions are another issue when it comes to staying focused. Although you don’t have to study in complete silence, watching TV is a bigger distraction than music is. Music can actually help you focus especially if you are studying in a noisy environment. Listen to good studying music, because listening to upbeat music will make you want to sing and dance to the music. If you find yourself rereading the same page or fixing mistakes on your homework, then the music is distracting you.
If you follow these tips, you can be a more organized, focused student. You can also have better studying habits that will help in the long run.

On Friday January 20th, the Saegertown Boys Basketball team had a pretty awful evening despite their 77-45 victory over Youngsville. A terrible snow storm struck our area that evening, but that was only a minor setback compared to the other events that involved the police that night.
The first event the Panthers encountered happened as they were walking to their bus after the game. They found their bus covered in salad dressing. Police were called out but no arrests were made. After leaving Youngsville, they stopped at a Corry McDonald’s where the second event occurred. Coach Molnar and Senior Noah Marvin both reported teens there verbally harassing the team. As the Panthers were leaving McDonald’s and getting back on the road, they heard a loud pop. It turned out someone had thrown an ice ball at the back bus window and the window shattered throwing glass all over Senior Noah Marvin and Junior Dustin Pavlik. Neither player was seriously injured. A police report for this event was also created.
The Panthers didn’t arrive home until approximately 1 a.m. due to the various incidents and the terrible weather that night. Although it was a victorious night on the court, the Panthers weren’t so lucky on the ride home.
