Basketball Report for this week!
Well, finished off last week with both the Varsity and the J.V both going 2-0 beating Clare and Marion. Now the big week for the Varsity and the J.V!! The J.V want to finish the season at 19-1 and see Mr.Koopman grow his mustache back. Time will tell on that one. The Varsity needs to go 2-0 this week and finish strong going into the districts. There also is the goal of winning the conference. To win at least a share of the conference and keep the conference championships (12) streak alive they will have to beat Evart at Evart on Tuesday and Beal City at home on Thursday. Also at stake is a 16-4 regular season record.
On the 4th of March Districts start and are being played at Evart! Our first game is 8:00 pm on Monday.
Advance P.E/ High School P.E- Well, if their is a concern about grades falling it is because of student participation!!! Students show up 1st and 2nd hours whining about doing anything. It is like pulling teeth to get them to do any physical activity. Another reminder that each day is worth 20points!! Students get 5 points if they show up and are dressed to participate and 15 if they actually do something. Monday, Wednesday and Friday are days we do some physical exercises and follow that up with and activity like flag football, soccer, basketball etc. Tuesday and Thursday's we just jog a couple laps and try to get into an activity. In a nut shell, I will not give a student a good grade simply for doing nothing, they need to earn it. If you have questions or concerns call me.
General Shop- Still the same build a drawer and make a top. Students need to do one of 3 things. 1. sand on their project( everything) and get it ready to stain. 2. Build a top! Directions are on the white board in class and we have covered it in class a couple times. 3. Finish building the drawer. No reason to sit and do nothing! Everyday is worth 20 points. Students who sit around and do nothing and don't clean up are hurting their grade.
Advance Shop- Seniors only have about 50 days left of school. So let's get things done. It is simple-Want an "A" work and clean -up everyday! I got alot of students who are just not getting it done! Grades are falling here too.

Boys Basketball Report
After a disappointing lost on homecoming to Lake City, the varsity responded to the challenge beating Manton, Beal City and NMC this past week to put ourselves back in the drivers seat. We are currently tied with Pine River and Beal City for first, however if we win out we will at least win a share of the conference title. Jared Larr has been on fire hitting 7 , 3-pointers against Beal and NMC.(14 total for the two games).We are home on Monday vs Clare and at Marion on Thursday.Another goal is to finish the regular season 16-4.
The J.V played this week winning all three as well to up their record to 15-1, winning the big one at Beal City this week. These guys continue to get better and better from top to bottom. A great group of guys who play hard, have great attitudes and are fun to be around.
Our games this week are Clare, which is home on Monday and at Marion on Thursday.
Advance P.E/ High School P.E- On Monday,Wednesday and Friday's we will do our routine of Sit-ups, push-ups, stretches and running. Afterwards there will be a class activity such flag football,basketball, soccer, floor hockey etc.All students are expected to participate and be active all hour or lose points. Attitude and respect are huge as well.
General Shop- On Tuesday I will be reviewing hardware for projects( handles, knobs, hinges etc,) again with students because they will be needing them.Wednesday through Friday students will work on their project top and drawer. After that it is sanding and staining and finishing!!
Advance Shop- It is time to work!! We are down to crunch time with seniors only having about 10 weeks of school left. All students need to work everyday and get something done so we are not cramming to finish projects. Also, in order to get an "A" they need to work everyday. Show some respect and be cooperative with me and others.

Boys Basketball Update
Well, it is amazing how one week can change the out look of team. Last week we were playing well and on top of the conference and a week later we are down a game and looking like the Ramblers form earlier in the year. I take the blame, This team should of performed better on homecoming night. I also didn't use my bench players like I should of, it was a really a bad night of coaching on my part. I will push hard this week, for it is a tough week of three conference games. Tuesday at Manton, Thursday at Beal City and Friday home with NMC. The good thing is we still control our own destiny as far as winning the conference. If we win out we will at the very least have a share of the conference title. THIS IS A BIG GOAL OF OURS!!
The J.V continue to play well beating Lake City 68-25. Tyler Sterk paced the Ramblers with 13pts. Brenden Eisenga had 9pts and Jordan Vanderhoef had 8pts. The J.V are now 12-1. a great group of young players.
Advance P.E/ High School P.E- Last week we ran the mile, tested our endurance by doing as many sit-ups and push-ups continuously until failing out and the students did a great job. Being dressed for class and participating is still a problem with a few students. This week we will have a day of make -ups for those students who missed or were not feeling good last week. I will take students into the weight room to max. out on squat and bench press. I feel even if we don't use the weight room a lot, the push-ups and the sit-ups along with the running, the students will get stronger. I may introduce some P90X.
Advance Shop- My concerns here are students finishing projects and for some getting them paid for before the end of the year. It seems like we have alot of time left in the year, but reality is, for seniors any way is about 9 good weeks of school left. They get out early, have spring break and senior trip, plus other interruptions like P.D days and Presidents day etc. Please see if your student needs any hardware etc and encourage them to work everyday.
General Shop- Students here are working on their tops and drawer. It does take a while to dovetail every ones drawer. I believe most will start to finish up their drawer and the top by the end of the week. Encourage your student to sand and pay attention to details as we finish the projects because some just like to get done. I will provide the slides for the drawer , but the students need to get their hardware!

Boys Basketball Report
It was a good week for the J.V and the Varsity! Only one game , but a big conference win against Pine River! The win for the Varsity 61-51 put the Ramblers in the top spot tied with the Aggies of Beal City.(6-1) Homecoming this week with the only one game against Lake City.
The J.V. continue to win with a 80-56 win. If they showed a weakness it is at the free throw line 5-23 against Pine River. We will need to clean that up if we are going to beat Beal City. Overall, a great group of guys.
Both teams are playing well and are very coach able. I believe the Varsity can still get better and finish strong.
General Shop- Students are progressing well. Most are building their drawer and their top. Once that part is finished the construction process is done and students will need to sand and stain. A reminder students need to get hardware ( hinges, handles and/or knobs). They may need to look at stain colors as well!
Advance Shop- This is a different class! All students are building their own project and doing their own thing. Students really need to just come in and try to accomplish one constructive thing a day. Some students are getting alittle bogged down with their project and just need to push through.
Advance/High School P.E- We will continue to max out on push-ups and sit-ups as well as run the mile this week. Wednesday is the day I have planned. Everyday I will have students run, stretch, do some push-ups and sit-ups and run some more. After that we try to do a class activity.
