Head coach Tyree Jr. thought the boys played pretty well, but had too many forced turn- overs. Rebounding was outstanding. Coach Tyree also stated that a new top scorer is made every game. This year we have a lot of team- work and new team leaders are stepping up. This trophy not only proved that this year’s team is prospering, but it also had some senti- mental value to it. Coach Tyree Jr. and his father Tyree Sr. may be the only father son duo to win the NEO Tournament.

Movie Review Insidious: The Last Key Insidious: The Last Key is a good movie. The house where the hauntings are happening is the one in which Elise grew up. Elise helps people with demonic activities in their house. She was blessed with a gift to communicate and see the dead and demons. Elise’s mother died in that house. Her father was a drunk who was controlled by a demon who would kill women and trap them in his basement. Many years later she got a call from this guy for help. The same de- monic spirit that controlled her dad was controlling him. She and her team didn’t stop until they got rid of the demons and spirits. At the end Elise and her brother were reunited. By: Iyannah Johnson Cooking with Jeyny Ancient cultures have long used soups and broths as home remedies for colds and the flu. Even scientific data shows that soups are more than just good for your soul. Nothing is better than a hot soup on a cold day. Yield: 4 servings. Ingredients: 1 pound beef tripe, cut into small squares 3 fresh cloves garlic, minced 3 teaspoons salt 1/2 cup red chili powder 2 teaspoons oregano leaves 1 tablespoons coarse black pepper 1 teaspoons cumin powder 1/2 small onion chopped 1 small can hominy, yellow or white Directions: Place beef tripe into a pot of boiling water, just enough to cover the tripe. Add garlic and onions and salt. Cover and cook for about 1 hour. When tripe is ten- der add the remaining ingredients including the hominy and cook about 15 or 20 minutes longer. Add more salt if needed. This is a spicy dish and it goes well with cilantro and a twist of lime. Corn tortillas are a good compliment. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/menudo-recipe0-1938596 What did you do for New Years? Calvin Howard– I slept a lot . Jerry Cardenas– I lit a lot of fireworks. Jacob Johnson– I did nothing . by: Omar Dominguez Star Wars: THE LAST JEDI Star Wars the Last Jedi was full of action and ad- venture. I liked how the movie showed Rey’s journey to becoming a Jedi and how the force was building inside her as the movie went on. It seemed like everyday she was getting stronger and stronger. She acts a little dramatic but overall the movie was pretty decent. Jeans or Sweats??? PROM!! Caleb Pittman– Sweats Tickets have gone up to the price of $30 a Mateo Moreno– Sweats ticket!
