There is a line in one of my favorite movies that says, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” I never knew what Ferris Bueller meant until I started my senior year of high school.

My freshman year, I played football; I started to fall out of the sport I loved and decided to quit. Junior year winter rolled around and workouts started. My friend, Mac Murzyn, was a main factor in persuading me to join football again.

Looking back on all the long and dreadful workouts, I […]

On April 16, many local trades gathered in the south gym to give students an opportunity to learn about their specific trade.

Instructors gave students information about the application process, wage information, and benefits of each trade. The trade fair is a huge opportunity for students to learn that college is not the only route after high school.

A roofing instructor from Chicagoland Roofers gave some insight on trades and answered some questions.

Chicagoland Roofers explained why it would be beneficial for someone to join a trade: “No college debt, you will get better pay, and you will get extra money […]

The 2024 NFL draft has come to a close, with the 2024 scouting combine now wrapped up. With less than two months left until the draft, prospects still can make a statement at their pro days and team visits.

Senior Dominic Pettenon said, “There were some impressive performances that raised and dropped players’ draft stock, two players in particular that rose their stock.”

The combine confirms or denies what was seen throughout the college regular season and the bowl games. If a player does well in the combine, it will help him with the pre-draft process.

There were some standout players […]

An hour later, the older brother woke up and was furious. Kaitlin, who was about to leave for trick-or-treating, heard her brother screaming from […]
