That was exactly what happened in Monday’s game against conference foe Ontonagon. When Sleeman began to find her rhythm, her team was able to overcome some early adversity to defeat the Gladiators 46-41 in Chas- sell. Sleeman was held to just one field goal in the first half, with no points coming in the first quarter. She eventually turned it on, scoring eight of her team leading 13 points in the second half, also pulling down a team-leading seven rebounds. When coach Bill Sleeman found a way to involve his daughter, he found the Gladiators had match-up problems they were not able to overcome. “For a freshman, she is very strong in that post area,” he said. “She is tough to move.

Wiercinski was particularly proud of the program projects the library under- took with the school districts. A highlight was the Brainstormers group that presented a two-part program teaching creative writing. She called the group “amazing” and stated that their “high-energy” teaching kept the students engaged, which is not easy for a group of second through sixth graders. The teach- ers had nothing but praise for the creative writing results among the students, which Wiercinski called “huge.” Looking ahead, the library is hoping to finish it’s delayed project to provide wire- less internet to selected stationary loca- tions in the community and mobile Wi-Fi Steve Newman / Daily Globe for special events this spring.
