If you go to a computer lab during Pack Time, you might catch students playing Minecraft, and/or watching You-Tube Videos.

Using the computer labs is a privilege and I don't want to lose it.  We all need to think carefully about the things we watch and do in these labs.

Opening night for our school musical, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, will be March 20, 2013 at 7:30 PM. It is based on Mark Twain’s novel, the story of a man from Connecticut who somehow travels back in time to the court of the legendary King Arthur.

Tuckett:  It's just like anything else, after a while you get used to it.

Howl:  Is it hard having new students, at a new school?

Tuckett:  It's not so bad, like I said previously, you get used to it.

SFJHS wrestlers finished out the season on top! As a result of the wrestlers' excellent performances during the season, many of them placed in the top brackets at state. Some of those athletes chose to work through crippling injuries that would have stopped lesser athletes from competing.

The Lobo Howl interviewed Ethan Morley, and Braxton Merriweather, both members of the junior high wrestling team.

Ethan, a middle weight wrestler, pulled a muscle in his neck and injured his knee.  Still, he competed in the tournaments.

Some talented girl's from our school made it onto the high school girls’ basketball team! As of January 30, their record was 8-2 with only two more games left in the regular season.

This reporter interviewed Camrie Young.

Camrie Young also plays post. Basketball is her first love. The thing she likes best about the sport is “it’s fast-paced, fun and aggressive!”  Camrie feels if she gets more aggressive, her team will be able to do better.

Our Spanish Fork Lady Lobos basketball team has represented our school well! They have only lost four games, winning at least eight! Their last regular season game was on January 30, but the season won’t end for them until the District Tournament!

This reporter had a chance to interview two players, Lauren Roberts and Kaylee Hudson.
