WHS boys take care of STM 50-42

Girls beat Stevens 70-68 in overtime

By Ethan Hays and Daxton Bonnewell arrior varsity boys basketball players split a pair of games with two Rapid City teams Friday and Saturday. The Warriors opened with a tough loss to Stevens 59-46 Friday, but rebounded with a win over St. Thomas Moore on Saturday 50-42. On Saturday at St. Thomas More, the game started out hot for senior Angel Arroyo who scored nine of the team’s first 14 points. “We didn’t start off the way we liked this weekend, but on Saturday we bounced back,” senior Jack Talley said. The JV team fell to both Stevens and St. Thomas More to open the season. WHS will host Roosevelt Tuesday.

Wendy Rosales and Taylor Ruud Warrior varsity girls basketball team members opened their season with an exciting 70-68 overtime victory over Rapid City Stevens Friday. Junior Taylor VanderVelde led all Warriors with 16, and junior Jada Cunningham had 15 in the win. The team then fell to St. Thomas More 49-38 Saturday. Cunningham led WHS with 12 points. The JV team won both games, beating Stevens 43-41 and STM 46-35. Coach Jamie Parish said he likes the talent WHS has. “We feel like sometimes it might be 10 deep on any given night,” Parish said. “The talent is there, but we need more practice and this will be a work in progress.”

Band presents winter concert By Alex Barron Warrior band members will attempt to warm up spectators with their hard work at 7 p.m. in the auditorium tonight as they present their annual Winter Concert. Band members have been preparing for this event all semester. Senior Brendan Hansen said the bands are ready. “Several bands are playing classic holiday pieces, so it’s going to be very enjoyable,” Hanson said.

Head director Mark Diischer is excited. “Highlights will be our Freshman Band, who will be playing in front of an audience for the first time,” Diischer said. “The Varsity Band will be showing off a Halloween themed piece, the Concert band will feature helicopters—no joke!—and the Symphonic Band, the highest ranking band here at WHS, will be doing two Christmas songs in addition to a Russian folk piece.” Admission cost will be $5 for adults, $3 for students and $1 for Gold Card senior citizens.

Try to stay warm, safe this cold winter It shouldn’t come as a surprise, but it is very cold out! South Dakota winters can be brutal, with lots of snow, cold winds and low temperatures, making it my least favorite season of the year. Another downside to the winter are the poor driving skills shown by many, including new drivers Hear me. . . (read: freshmen). Last week in the parking lot, Austin Kubik one ended up slightly tapping my bumper. I was not too happy when this happened, because somebody recently gave me a huge dent in my bumper from a

hit-and-run a few weeks ago. Luckily, there was no damage to either of our vehicles, and we were both able to leave with no problems. Another downside to winter are the slick sidewalks as we try to escape the cold and head indoors. Running inside turns into a dangerous activity with random ice patches in parking lots and sidewalks. Once you do see a patch of ice, it’s usually way too late. Most are lucky enough to catch their balance in time, but some fall flat on their back in front of anyone who is there to witness. So, Warriors, you can either stay inside like most normal people this winter, or you can be one of those people who like to be outside in this cold weather snowboarding or skiing, but either way, I advise everyone to bundle up and stay warm this winter. Senior Austin Kubik wants a new, undented car for Christmas.

Senators seek election inquiry By Tim Johnson McClatchy Washington Bureau (TNS) WASHINGTON — Displaying rare bipartisanship, four leading senators, Republican and Democratic, from both political parties called Sunday for an urgent inquiry into allegations of Russian meddling in the U.S. election. Their call emphasized the division between their view and that of President-elect Donald Trump, who called the charges of Russian intervention “ridiculous” and took new aim at the U.S. intelligence community, which reportedly has concluded that electing Trump was Russia’s motivation. “Recent reports of Russian interference in our election should alarm every American,” the senators, who include Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate in 2008, and Sen. Charles E. Schumer, the New York Democrat who is the incoming Senate minority leader, said in a joint statement. The statement said recent hacking attacks “have cut to the heart of our free society” and require urgent investigation and action to halt the threat they “pose to our national security.” “This cannot become a partisan issue. The stakes are too high for our country,” the senators said in the statement. Joining in the statement were Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, and Democratic Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island. Graham and Reed are members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, which McCain chairs. McCain went further in an appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “It’s clear the Russians interfered,” he said. “Facts are stubborn things. They did hack into this campaign.”
