Should coaches push athletes to practice one sport If you don’t participate How can HHS athletics be all year around? It seems that high school athletes are in athletics, why not? more successful? almost required to do that in order to be competitive. Whether it be through workouts during the off season, team camps, or even open gyms, the season never stops. So when does focusing year-round on one sport become overwhelming, exhausting, a little less entertaining, and even cause injuries? According to a recent survey, Huron High School students think that all these apply when it comes to participating in one sport all Don’t like sports/ not athletic More kids participating in more sports year. Busy with other things More support from student body and staf Injuries are often caused (Homework, job, music, etc.) Beter atitudes from the athletes: work by repeated overuse of muscle Didn’t/Couldn’t play when I was harder, work out more often groups or joints.

Even if somebody loves a sport and “I feel as though we have issues with coaching that has affected our teams and is willing to work hard, if they don’t like their coach their way of coaching it can then the outcome of our athletics.” completely ruin it for them.” “You either get a coach you love or a coach. There’s no in between and that’s “We have excellent coaches and excellent facilities. The biggest thing we need is part of life. Your never gonna get everything perfect. Sometimes I just think it support from students and a better work ethic.” would be more fun if some coaches changed the way they coached. We definitely need better attitudes from players because that makes players not want to play “The coaches are wearing us out. I don’t like playing...anymore simply because of because of people being mean on teams. Honestly it makes practices boring the coach.” because we usually run when people have bad attitudes.”
“Forcing more kids in sports won’t make anything better.” “I think we give our athletes a lot of support, but I don’t think we have that many people participating.” “I think that, compared to other athletes in schools around us, allowing students to participate in more sports actually benefits them and their program.” “The crowd needs to support those athletes...they might do good.”

After extensive interviews, it was determined which pairs are obviously in love with each other. A survey was sent to HHS students to guess Comeback who would end up together. Below are the results of the BY JEMMA KELEHER interviews and the student-body survey. If you tuned into the February edition of Tiger Stripes, you may have read the article I wrote about my heartbreak/tragedy/fall from naivety. In the story, I dove into the deepest, darkest parts of my heart to share my experience with rejection; however, since writing that article, I have had the comeback to end all comebacks. Yes folks, you read that correctly. My heart has been restored from the sharp shards of my past back into a wholesome love-giver, and as much as my pride hates to say it, it was restored by… a boy *dun dun duuuuun*. The boy—nay, man—came into my life without warning. He quite literally swept me off my feet, causing my life to take a complete 180 turn. We met all the way back in 2013, and from the moment I saw him, I knew he was the one. I think he must have felt it too; after all, he did tattoo my name on his arm in Hebrew. What a scholar. That was one of the reasons I fell for him. I Jacob and Lindsey mean, he accidentally spelled Jemma as Gemma, but we won’t talk about that.
