Big week in boys basketball. I feel like the varsity has made some solid improvement over the last few weeks , but we will find out this week. We are on the road at Beal City and Pine River. Two very good teams and must wins for us if we want to stay in the conference race.
The varsity beat Kingsley last Monday 68-47 and Marion on Thursday 69-35.Two solid wins where we were aggressive on defense, ran the floor and executed on offense. The varsity is now 8-3 overall and 5-1 in the conference.
The J.V beat Kingsley 86-47 and Marion 68-27. The J.V's are 10-1 overall. A great group of guys from top to bottom, fun to be around and to coach.
Advance P.E/ High School P.E- I will start testing on individual physical abilities this week. They include- sit-ups, push-ups, the mile run, bench press and squat. Students will do as many as they can until they fail out with the push-ups and the sit-ups, I record everything. On the mile run it is do your best, we run everyday so I hope we see improvement. Students can run and walk as long as they try and complete the 13 plus laps. The bench and the squat is try to lift your best. This semester I want to test students every 9 weeks. And I hope they see and feel the improvement.
General Shop- Just plugging away! Students are working on dovetailing their drawer for their night stand and building the top. Once they are done with the drawer and top they are done constructing. Now it is time to sand and stain. Students need to be getting their hardware( hinges, handles and knobs).
Advance Shop- Just working!!!!. The end of the year is fast approaching, with January about over. Students really need to focus on staying on task,working to get something done everyday! Help me to remind students that it is better to work steady and do quality work than to just throw things together. Paying for their project is something else to keep in mind.

DELAYED START ON MONDAY!! 1st and 4th hours in the morning.
Basketball Report for Week of Jan. 14th-18th
J.V boys beat NMC 77-44 led by Seth Barnette with 21 points. They beat Evart on Thursday 55-32 with Tyler Sterk and Austin Eisenga each scoring 11pts apiece and Seth Barnette scoring 10 and taking 3 charges. Again this J.V team is playing exceptionally well right now. The J.V is now 9-1.
Varsity beat NMC 70-59. The offense seems to be playing better, but we still need to cut down on turnovers and execute better on offense!! Hunter Powell and Jared Larr led the way with 25 and 20 points respectively. We got solid play from Andy Lucas and Kyle Heuker. On Friday we beat Evart 70-39. Again the offense showed some promise and the defense is getting better. I think this team has alot of upside, it is just learning to put it together for 32 minutes.Jared Larr had 20, Hunter Powell had 13 and Chris Ouwinga had 12. We are now 6-3, and 4-1 in the conference.
High School P.E/Advance P.E- This week will be just getting everyone set up with a lock and a locker!!! We will cover expectations too!! The 2 big things are Dress and Particpation. Having a good attitude helps too.I do plan to test students physical attributes like strength and endurance as well.
General Shop- Students will get back to work on their projects!! The lumber yard was out of cherry wood for some time, but it is in now. Students are making drawers and their drawer fronts. Projects look good! Some students should start to finish their project by the end of February.Look for more MATH and some WRITING too.
Advance Shop- Getting the new students and the old ones back to work.There is always a transition phase!!.Students need to realize we are really more than 1/2 way thriught the year and that they need to focus on getting things done!! AND PAY FOR THEIR PROJECTS TOO!

Basketball report for the week of Jan. 4th.
The Varsity won a huge game this week against Lake City in a key conference match-up. This keeps us in the hunt for the conference title. It didn't look good early falling down 21-8 in the first quarter. However, I do think the boys are starting to learn how to play through adversity,as well as coming together as a team. The final was 71-60. Two big conference games this week. Away on Tuesday at NMC and home on Friday against Evart.
The J.V continue to play well!! This group works very well together as a team and is really understanding the whole system on defense!! Only one team has broke 50 and that was Cadillac at 55. The next higest is 44. With the other 5 teams only getting into the 30's. They are fun to watch and coach. Their final against Lake City was 64-33. No mustache is coming back either!(sorry) I do something different.
Exams are 90 minutes this semester. Thursday and Friday school gets out at 2:00!! and lunch is 11:30- 12:15 on those days too!
Advance P.E/High School P.E- Students will do the five following physical activities this week with each carrying a 20% grade value, This will add up to 100% and be their final exam for the semester. A good solid effort will earn them the full 20% for each. They are sit-ups , push-ups, bench, squat and the mile run. Students already did the sit-ups and the push-ups last week.
General Shop- You will have an exam this week. 3rd hour will be Thursday 10:00- 11:30. 6th hour will be on Friday 8:20 -9:50! This test is all about building your night stand and the equipment. Not hard at all!
Advance Shop- You will have an exam this week too!! 4th hour will be on Thursday 12:15 -1:45 and 7th hour will on Friday 10:00 -11:30.

Boys basketball update!!
Varsity went 1-1 this week beating Manton and losing to Traverse St.Francis. I like the effort and the determination the Varsity showed against St. Francis. This is a good indicator as to how hard we need to work if we want to compete at a championship level. Manton was 59-35,and St Francis was 62-68.
The J.V won both games and are now 5-1! Playing hard, buying in and fun to work with.
Advance/ High school P.E- Students will start testing on their sit-ups and their push-ups this week as part of their physical challenge to see if they can do more now then when they started the class. This is part of their Exam! Do the activities to the best of their ability and get an A or possibly lower by not doing them or giving it no effort! Mile run and the weight lifting will take place next week.
General Shop- Things are going well. Most students are working and progressing on their night stand. Students will need to get their hardware( hinges, knobs and handles) soon. There will be an exam coming up next week too.
Advance Shop-Students are working better since we had a little break!!!As long as they continue to work and progress on their project things are GREAT!! They too have an exam next week and need to take it!
