Coach Bruce Koopman

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.
