Schaumburg High School Saxons Have New Head Boys Basketball Coach SCHAUMBURG HIGH SCHOOL SAXONS HAVE NEW HEAD BOYS BASKETBALL COACH Wade Heisler has been named head boys basketball coach at Schaumburg High School. Wade Heisler has been named head boys basketball coach at Schaumburg High School. Heisler, an assistant coach with the school’s boys basketball team, replaces newly appointed Athletic Director Marty Manning at the helm of the Saxons boys basketball program. “We are very excited about the energy that Wade brings to our basketball program,” said Schaumburg High School Principal Tim Little. “He is well-known and popular within our school community. Wade is quality person, student-focused, and relates with both student-athletes and parents alike. Wade’s enthusiasm and energy make him a perfect fit for this job.” Heisler has been teaching physical education at Schaumburg High School since August 2012, and has spent the past three seasons as the Saxons’ varsity assistant boys basketball coach, responsible for daily practice plans and game strategy. He also coordinated the players’ summer skill development program. In addition to basketball, Heisler has served as the school’s spring event coordinator, Student Athletic Advisory sponsor, and assistant badminton coach. He has been instrumental in helping develop a new physical education fitness curriculum featuring yoga classes. Before coming to Schaumburg High School, Heisler spent one year (August 2011 – May 2012) as the head boys basketball coach and teaching physical education at Prairie Central High School in Fairbury, Ill. Prior to that, he was the varsity girls basketball coach from 2008-2011 at Byron High School (Ill.), while teaching physical education at Morgan Elementary School in Byron, during that same time period. While there, his 2009-2010 team was the Big Northern conference, regional, and sectional champions, and he was named IBCA District 10 Coach of the Year. “Coach Heisler is a great fit for us,” said Schaumburg High School Athletic Director Tim Kirby. “Having served as an assistant coach these past three years helped him gain familiarity with our program and our student-athletes. We’re not only excited about the expertise he brings, but also the enthusiasm he has for basketball and our kids.” Heisler graduated with a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Northern Illinois University in 2008, with a health education endorsement. PALATINE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WINS CAR IN ‘OPERATION CLICK’ GIVEAWAY Nancy sits in the Chevy Spark after she won the car courtesy of Operation Click. Imagine picking up a key to a car and someone telling you that if the car starts when you turn the key, the car is yours to keep. That’s exactly what happened for a Palatine High School senior yesterday. Nancy Cabrera, senior, received a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when she randomly selected the correct keys to a Chevy Spark during an Operation Click banquet on April 14. “There was a bowl with a bunch of keys that looked the same. It was my turn to see if the key started the car,” Nancy said. “I turned it and it moved, but I didn’t want to turn it anymore because I was too afraid to force it. All the lights came on and everyone started cheering and clapping. I was confused because I didn’t even turn the car on. I was in shock. I thought everyone was playing a joke on me.” Operation Click was started in 1998, and is a charitable organization that encourages young drivers from 39 area schools to buckle their seatbelts and drive safely. The program concludes at the end of each school year with a Grand Prize Giveaway. Nancy got involved when students at Palatine High School had the opportunity to sign a pledge to safe driving habits, including no texting when driving, wearing a seatbelt, and avoiding distractions while on the road. After students pledged, Nancy’s mother received a phone call from the PHS group Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) informing her that Nancy’s pledge was one of two randomly selected from Palatine High School to attend the Operation Click banquet. Several area schools sent students to the Operation Click Banquet. Those students all had the opportunity to win a car if they selected the correct key. At the banquet, students learned about safety tips while behind the wheel, as well as heard from sponsors who support safe driving. Nancy and her mother went to the dealership to pick up her car the same night. “My mom was so excited,” Nancy said. “My car needs new brakes and her car isn’t working that well. She’s a single mom so it gets hard to pay for some of those small things. She will have surgery next week and we needed a reliable car to help get us there. Now we can can take a deep breath and know everything is going to be OK.” To read more about Operation Click, please visit the website here. FREMD STUDENTS WATCH AIRBRUSH PAINTING DEMO, LEARN ABOUT POSSIBLE CAREER PATHS Tom Banks, an artist from Ohio Technical College/PSI, demonstrate airbrush painting techniques on the hood of a car at Fremd High School. While several students begin imagining what they would like to do for a career after high school, custom airbrush painting might not always come to mind. Students at Fremd High School watched Tom Banks, an artist from Ohio Technical College/PSI, demonstrate airbrush painting techniques on the hood of a car on April 13. The goal of his visit was to introduce students to a career that is not only profitable, but also accessible with a little bit of practice. “There is so much misinformation out there about what it takes to do this work,” Banks said. “Everyone thinks you need to be an artist or you need to have an automotive background. I was no different in thinking that. I always thought this was talent as opposed to skill. That’s just not true.” Students came in and out of the room to watch various parts of the demonstration each class period. Banks painted the car hood for roughly 3.5 hours, with students coming in and out of the room to watch various parts of the demonstration each class period. He emphasized that students do not need to have incredible artistic skills to master airbrush painting. He showed students that many objects in his designs are created from stencils, also demonstrated how to create different effects using colors, highlights, and depth. “At the end of the day when students are able to see this process from start to finish, and the demo allows them to watch it come alive before their eyes,” he said. “They understand every single step involved. A lot of people have an interest in custom cars, rods, and custom paint, the misunderstanding keeps people from getting into this, and I like taking down those walls.” The finished design will be on display at Fremd High School. The finished car hood will be on display at Fremd High School. FREMD HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNUS HONORED FOR BOARD OF EDUCATION MILITARY RECOGNITION Captain Tae Kim (Photo courtesy Tae Kim) District 211 recently started a new tradition to honor alumni for the service they have given to their country. Captain Tae Kim, a 2001 graduate of Fremd High School, was honored and thanked for his service by the Board of Education at its April 9 meeting. Kim is the sixth alumnus to be recognized for his service, and started the meeting by leading the Pledge of Allegiance. Kim joined the Army following high school graduation and was a cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point from 2001 to 2005. He served as an Army Aviation Officer (UH-60 & MQ 1C Pilot) in Alabama, Republic of Korea, Arizona, and Afghanistan (OEF) from 2005 -2013. From 2013 to present, he resigned from active duty and serves in the Illinois Army National Guard as an Army Aviation Officer. He received honors including the Bronze Star Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Army Commendation Medals, Korea Army Commendation Medals, Army Achievement Medals, Korea Army Achievement Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and the 2011 Unmanned Aircraft Systems Unit of the Year Award as Company Commander. While his career in the military has several highlights, Kim said being a company commander for a new unit was something that defines his career. In 2009, he was instrumental in building a company from the ground up, including recruiting his team, establishing regulations, purchasing aircrafts, and working with civilians. Though it was a challenge, he said creating something from the ground up was something that many never get to experience in the military. He remains friends with many that were on his team today. Captain Tae Kim, a 2001 graduate of Fremd High School, was honored and thanked for his service by the Board of Education at its April 9 meeting. In high school, Kim was on the swim team, the water polo team, and played golf. He credits the commitment and time management skills he learned during his time at FHS for making his transition to West Point easier. “Those four years were some of the most challenging times that I have had,” he said. “When faced with challenges at West Point or in the military, they seemed not as daunting. When I was on the swim team and going through it, I didn’t think of how hard it was, but looking back I realized what a time commitment that was as a high school kid.” Kim has talked to many high school students that consider joining the military after high school.

  • 17-Athletics Board Report.Pdf
    Decemer 2020 Board Report Drug Testing As of November 16, 102 students had been randomly tested at OHS. 100 results were negative, two were positive (both for nicotine). Testing went on a temporary pause due to no in person learning. Social Media/Communication As of Dec. 10, we have 1,172 followers on the athletic Twitter account @OregonHawks. Last year at this time, we had a total of 1,136. Winter Sports The IHSA has put a pause on winter athletics and activities. We had started boys and girls bowling practice (which was allowed at the time) on Monday, November 16 but were forced to pause on Friday, November 20. Basketball and wrestling practices did not commence due to Covid restrictions at the scheduled start of practice in November. Basketball is “on hold”, wrestling is currently scheduled for May/June. On December 2, the IHSA released the following statement: Given Governor Pritzker’s current mitigations, the IHSA Board has no expectation of starting low risk winter sports prior to January. The Board and IHSA staff will continue to monitor the Tier 3 Resurgence Mitigation in effect currently. When there is a timeline for the state to emerge from these restrictions, the Board is prepared to restart lower risk winter sports quickly. In addition, the Board hopes to reestablish contact days in January for any winter sports that cannot begin, as well as spring and summer sports. The introduction of the contact days will be based on mitigations from the Governor and the Illinois Department of Public Health at that time.

  • Rules Review Mechanics Review News
    Sunday Stretch July 22, 2018 Page 1 Rules Review Time for us to start working on Rules. Here are the changes for 2018. Assisting a Player - This change clarifies that no team member may assist a player during an attempt to play the ball in order to gain and illegal advantage. Keeping the Head Coach in the Replacement Zone - It is now written that the responsibility of keeping the coach in the replacement zone no closer than six feet to the sideline when standing during a play is that of the R2. Long Whistle - When multiple courts are in use, the R2 may end a timeout or interval between sets with a long whistle in place of the timer sounding an audio signal (horn). Injury Exception - When a replay is signaled due to an injury/illness and the injured/ill player cannot continue play, the head coach may request a substitute or complete a legal libero replacement for the injured/ill player or take a team timeout(s) if the team has remaining timeouts. Unnecessary Delay - This change eliminates further delay of the set by establishing that after a team is charged with an unnecessary delay, the coach may request no further action until the next completed rally. Unnecessary Delay Signal - Raise the hand on the side of the offending team beside your head, palm facing in. Hold the appropriate card on the wrist of the raised hand (S-21). Warm-Up Between Sets - Players may now warm-up between sets on their side of the court. No balls may be hit over the net.
