Cassie Baroni (20), junior Point guard, 5’6” Ukiah High School Cassie Baroni is...one of the many...talented players on the Ukiah High girl’s basketball team. She has been on the varsity team since she was a freshman. Some of the other very talented players on the team are: Sadie Dorsey, Francesca Teeters, Carrie Reid, Shanel Sayad, Gabriela Kong, Emily Houghton, Hillary Ruddick, Cassie Gibson, Dakota Sanderson and Theresa Ladao. The UHS girl’s basketball team is currently a perfect 4-0 because of the way they play as a team, not necessarily because of the way...one of the many...talented players play.

THE LEARNING CHALLENGER by Robert Barnett

DIRECTIONS: A. Using each "Chaos Grid" number with its letter one time, arrange the numbers with their letters for the "Order Grid" so each vertical column, horizontal row, and two diagonals each ADD to numbers inside thick lined cells. B. Some correct numbers with their letters have been put into the "Order Grid" to get you started. Also, above the "Order Grid" is a "Decoded Message" clue. C. After you have solved the "Order Grid" doing as direction "A" says, put the let- ters from horizontal rows, from left to right, under "Decoded Message" and make words to form the answer.
