Trevor Anderson-All Gas, No Brakes
For as long as I can remember, I have dreamed about graduating from Catholic High. I have always been the kind of person who is excited about the future, but I will never forget how much I have grown over the past four years. Coming here on my first day of freshman year, I was…
No Days Off
Many people believe that games are won in the spur of the moment with big time players making big time plays. The truth is, these players would not be able to make these big time plays without work that was done during the offseason. “I use the offseason to work on all my skills,” said…
Invest in Rest
High schoolers’ lives tend to revolve around school, sports, and friends. Keeping a balance among these things is necessary, but one very important thing many high school students tend to overlook is sleep. From ages 14 to 18, high schoolers are at a time of their lives in which their bodies are growing a changing….
Changing Courts
Change is a constant in sport. Players have to react and adapt to changes they can’t control and stay committed to their team.

However, he may not be as stubborn on…
Never Give Up
He could have given up. He had just injured his leg for the second time in two years. Instead of giving up and walking away from running, senior Andrew Straessle kept fighting and persisted. And because of that decision, he is now a college athlete. Straessle started running in the sixth grade and…
Going Greener
Just like Kermit the frog said, it’s not easy being green. But just because it’s not easy doesn’t mean that it isn’t a worthwhile goal. The purpose of the Green Team started out well enough—to encourage reuse and recycling and to play our small part in saving the planet. That purpose, however, somehow got lost…
Study Hall or Study Schmall?
The students walk into the main study hall room and sit in their assigned seats. They fire up their school-issued Chromebooks and open their notebooks to complete their assignments. As the clock ticks by, the students frets over whether or not they budgeted enough time to complete the assignments. Perhaps, they think, they could have…
