The date was December 13, 2016. We had a game in West Dubuque. We lost that game by 10 points. It was a bad loss and a game that we should have won. After the game a player on my team was in the locker room. The varsity guys were in there too. By this time I had left with my parents and heard about what happened in the locker room a couple days later. The varsity guys put a couple of Western Dubuque women's practice jerseys in the freshman's bag. Later to be found by him. Instead of going to the School and turning them in. He decided to keep them and hide them in a sliding drawer. His parents found them and confronted him about them. They made him turn them in. When he told the story to the Athletic Director he refused to …show more content…
We went 4-1 when he was gone with the loss being to Beckman Catholic High School. We had beaten them earlier in the year and the reason we had lost was a last second play when one of our guys missed a layup to win. This loss was hard on the team. After it we were 17-4 on the season. The last game was coming up only one day away and he was back from his weeks off. He was so excited to play. We got to the game and it was about game time. We knew they were gonna be a good team we just had to expect that day in and day out. He did not start this game but he came in soon after a couple minutes of play. When he came in he got two quick fouls and had to go out again. When he came back in for the second time he made his first shot and was happy to be back with his team. He ended up fouling out in the beginning of the fourth quarter. In that fourth quarter we were down by 4 with 2 minutes left. Our team is one of the best freshman teams in our conference and was known for scoring when we needed it most and this is exactly what happened the team pulled there and won the game to finish the season with a win. The overall record of the team was 18-4. This year I would like our team to be undefeated and for everyone on our team to score at least once. I can’t wait to see what our 2018 season has in store for our

Southlake Carroll is the perfect example of competition. Take a look at everything Carroll does, if it’s not already the very best, it’s already working on a new plan to do so. Having a tremendous amount of interest in medicine, it was only natural for me to apply to Carroll’s prestigious Carroll Medical Academy, CMA, when I entered high school. After filling out my application, I like the 200-something other applicants, had to play the waiting-game. Then one fateful day, the results came in. The broad list was diminished to just 50 elite students. I made the cut. Now, officially part of CMA, it was my time to shine, to take on rigorous science classes, and to make top 10%, that I expected of myself. I toiled all summer long at our monstrous
Living in close proximity to Gettysburg, I have spent many weekends of my childhood hiking through the numerous acres of woods on Culp’s Hill, climbing the gigantic boulders in Devil’s Den, and tramping through the marshes of Plum Run. Enjoying the scenic beauty is just the beginning as to what Gettysburg has to offer. However, why is Gettysburg so important to us all as Americans? What made this small town so famous that tens of thousands of tourists from all over the globe come to walk through the many wheat fields in the surrounding countryside? While wandering those same fields that Union and Confederate soldiers fought on some one hundred and forty years ago, I asked myself why this place was so significant.
In 1961, West Side Story, a filmed version of the hit Broadway musical that was inspired by William Shakespeare’s "Romeo and Juliet," was released to viewers, who just could not resist the energy and excitement of the movie. Thirty-eight years later, viewers, like myself, still cannot resist it. I had never seen the film, which was directed by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, before, but I had always wondered why people loved this multi award-winning movie so much. After viewing the film, I think that it deserved the ten Academy Awards that it won because it has withstood the test of time and it truly is a remarkable film. It still has the same flair and ability to lure the viewer into the plot as it did when it was first shown in
Literature has always been a window into life during a particular time frame. Fiction and nonfiction alike will give its readers a glimpse of the lives of those of varying social statuses, along with the culture and politics of the time. This remains true regardless of the period in which a work was written. From the Romantic era to the 20th Century, literature has been skilled at providing understanding of others and their lives. For example, from the Romantic period works like the two William Wordsworth poems I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud and The World is Too Much with Us, along with A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns. The Victorian era has its own share of works that reflect the time when it was written, including Lewis Carroll’s The Walrus
Wally West walked sluggishly through the downpour that currently plagued Star City. His arms were crossed over his chest as he tried to retain some form of the warmth that had left his trembling body a long time ago. He was staring down at the sidewalk and not watching what was ahead of him, which had caused the young red head to crash into a few people from time to time but he couldn't bring himself to care. He had too much on his mind to care at the moment and he was more focused on reaching his destination. The fifteen year old rubbed at his eyes as he felt the familiar sting of tears begin to return for what felt like the tenth time that day.
WASHINGTON — On the heels of last week's failed attempt to repeal former President Barack Obama's health care law, West Virginia conservatives are looking to pass a new tax policy that will bring economic growth to the state.
Rationale for Revision: The fundamental comparison in this question is the same in both versions, though in the revised question students are asked to compare only the effects of the ideologies. It is, as a result, a bit narrower in focus than the original. Teachers will need to make the connections between the ideologies and their effects explicit because they are in different sections of the Curriculum Framework.

These particular sections of our textbook focus on the rise and fall of multiple empires within the Classical Era. The most successful of these empires almost invariably followed a pattern of non-invasive integration that allowed for fewer rebellions amongst conquered peoples. This pattern was accompanied by specific “unifiers” that each rising government either implemented or encouraged in order to facilitate a oneness of state amongst the diverse cultures within their empire. The best examples of these two trends are found within the Persian, Ptolemaic, and the Roman Empires.
In the books; The Clouds written by Aristophanes, and The Apology, written by Plato, the philosopher Socrates is portrayed in two different ways. Plato, being a loyal follower of Socrates, portrays him as being a very simple man who is always open to learning new wisdom. However, Aristophanes portrays him as an atheist who practices sophistry along with a number of different crimes. People question whether or not Plato exaggerated the character of Socrates in an effort to gain sympathy for him, while others question if Aristophanes wrote the book The Clouds to slander Socrates’ character.
Born 1692 in Cradley, England. According to britannica.com Caslon began his career as an apprentice to a gun lock and barrel engraver, he opened his own engraving shop in 1716, making tools for book binders and silver chasers. Caslon’s own background in engraving and metalwork was the ideal preparation for the cutting of letter punches, Each letter had to be cut by hand at first, Once complete, these punches were impressed into copper to make molds, known as matrices, that were used for the casting of type for printing, Mr. Caslon is regarded by many to be the greatest of English letter writers, William was the first major letter founder in London, according to identifont.com, Caslon types were modelled on Dutch type but were much more delicate and interesting, His typefaces were used for most important printed works from c.1740 to c.1800.

One can deny their age, their name, but no one can deny who they are or where they are from. “True West” a play by Sam Shepard who addresses the issues of alienation from society, loss of identity and the deterioration of the family structure through the dysfunctional relationship between the two Austin and Lee. Throughout the story Lee, who comes to embody the Old West, and Austin, who attempts to represent the New West; later discovering how there is no escape from one’s true west. Secondly through this tension-filled relationship. “True West” comes to represent many things that shape Lee and Austin, which causes conflict between them. Lastly, the west carries symbolism of both Lee and Austin’s father who is not present throughout the play,
An assumption that dominates American historical studies is that the wealth and prosperity of the country would be much less without the existence of a powerful central government. This theme is but part of a larger, and now international, orthodoxy that larger political jurisdictions, as long as they are "democratic," foster liberty and economic growth while smaller ones stifle it.
“Human houses should not be like boxes, blazing in the sun, nor should we outrage the Machine by trying to make dwelling places too complementary to Machinery. Any building for humane purposes should be an elemental, sympathetic feature of the ground, complementary to its nature-environment, belonging by kinship to the terrain.”
