Basketball this week-
The regular season comes to an end this week with two home games! Tuesday at home with Marion and home on Thursday with Evart. Looking to play both games like tournament games with a focus on defense, rebounding and execution. I also would like to mix in a few new wrinkles as well. As of late I would like to think we are playing better offense having scored 66, 61, 77, and 87 points in the last 4 games.
This past week the varsity Ramblers beat Manistee 77-67 on Tuesday despite no Triston Wilson who was sick and giving up 30 points to the one of the Chippewas. One key player in the game was Tyler Sterk who scored 23 points after struggling the last 4 to 5 games on offense.Tyler had 4 - 3 pointers in that game to support the 23 points. Cole Powell also had 23 points with 5 - 3 pointers all in the first quarter. In all the Ramblers had 10, 3 pointers on the night. Jordan Vanderhoef had 10 points off the bench while Seth Barnette dumped in 7 as well. The disappointment on the night was giving up 67 points, allowing a 30 point scorer and shooting 13 for 30 from the foul line. All things that need to be corrected before the tournament. Up 27 - 12 after the first quarter the Ramblers allowed the Manistee Chippewas to close the gap at halftime to 33 -31. This also has become a issue that needs to be corrected!
On Thursday the 20th we traveled across town to NMC to face a conference rival. The Ramblers came out with a focus and were up 25 - 10 at the end of the first quarter, again allowing another team the Comets to score 21 points in the 2nd quarter to lead 55 -31 at half. Just losing mental focus in the second on defense again. The defense improved from Tuesday overall, I liked the energy, the hustle and the fast break points that were created by our defense. We also out rebounded the Comets and forced more turnovers. Four Ramblers found their way into double figures with Tyler Sterk scoring 17 points, Cole Powell had 14 points and one really nice dunk! Triston Wilson came back after being sick Tuesday scoring 14 points. Garett Gugle and Jordan Vanderhoef provided a nice one two punch off the bench scoring 13 and 10 respectively! The free throw line again not good though
14-24.
Two wins this week would send the Ramblers into March Madness 14-6. After starting 1-4!
The J.V Ramblers won two this week beating the Manistee Chippewas 58 -24. The young Ramblers used multiple players to score. Logan Eling 11 points, Craig Sterk 11 points, Jimmy Schneider 8 points,Tyler Clark 7 points, Carter Brunink and Donovan Quist 6 points. The win pushed the J.V record to 14 - 2!
On Thursday the Ramblers beat cross town rival NMC 83-53 with Jimmy Schneider scoring 18 points, Logan Eling 23 points, with Craig Sterk netting 16 and Carter Brunink 10 points respectively. This J.V team continues to score well, and find different guys on different nights. They are a fun group to coach and to be around. A great group of young men! I thought Donovan Quist, Dylan Boonstra, Emmitt Bronkema Brendon Sutten along with Logan Taylor played well tonight on defense and with the running game.
High School P.E- This week I will get started with some testing on push-ups, sit-ups and the mile run. This will be part of the final exam at the end of the year. Monday, Wednesday and Friday will continue to be Physical Training days with stretching, push-ups,(15), sit-ups (25) and running (5) laps prior to participating in an activity. On Tuesday and Thursday we will continue with a warm-up and go into an activity afterwards. Monday's activity will be volleyball, Tuesday's avtivity will be flag football, Wednesday will be floor hockey, Thursday some soccer and Friday dodge ball!
Dress and participation are necessary for an "A" grade.
General Shop- Students in General shop should be doing one of the following on their nightstand this week: Finishing their drawer (dovetail), sanding, staining, or putting on hardware. Everyone has something to do! Homework, failure to clean-up, work on your project or being in class on time will hurt your grade.
Advance Shop- The year is half over and my question to advance shop students: Is your project half done? The main focus for every advance shop student right now is to get something done constructively everyday. This week it is work, work and work again along with clean-up.

Basketball this coming week-
Tuesday home against Manistee and away on Thursday at NMC. Both are games we can win if we play well. For the J.V the goal is finish 17-2, because I don't see us making up the J.V Beal City game. The Varsity has a goal to finish 14-6 overall and make a serious run into the tournament.
This past week the J.V won at Lake City in convincing manner 71-50. Craig Sterk led the way with 34 points, while Logan Eling put in 15 points. Donovan Quist add 11 points hitting 3 - 3's. Dylan Boonstra had 5 while playing some great defense. On Friday the J.V beat Manton at home 53-41, Craig Sterk had 25 points and Logan Eling put in 15 points. Logan and Craig have done a real nice job of giving the Rambler J.V team a solid one, two punch. Carter Brunink has been a very nice compliment giving the Ramblers a solid defender and rebounder. Tylor Clark has been a nice "3" guard playing excellent defense and rebounding. Jimmy Schneider has been excellent at the point guard position running the offense and controlling tempo.
This past week the Varsity picked up two conference wins over Lake City and Manton. The Lake City game ended 64-60 at Lake city which was a hard fought physical battle. Leading the way against Lake City were Triston Wilson with 23 points, Cole Powell had 15 points with Grant Gugle nad Kyle Heuker each scoring 7 apiece. Off the bench the Ramblers got solid play from Hunter Kitson, Ethan Eisenga and Garett Gugle among others. That was the first game out of the last 4 that Ramblers gave up over 50 points. At home on Friday against Manton the Ramblers won 61-45. The best thing was the defense holding the Rangers to 45 points.If we are going to make a tournament run we will have to hold teams to under 50 points. Leading the way in scoring was Cole Powell with 15 points, Triston Wilson had 11 points, while Hunter Kitson and Jordan Vanderhoef each had 6 points and Ethan Eisenga 4points.
High School P.E- Big reminder that inorder for your son or daughter to get an "A" in P.E they must "dress" and actually "participate" in class "Do Something". I will not just give out "A"'s.
No class on Monday! Tuesday will be Soccer! Wednesday will be Physical Training with push-ups, sit-ups and running (5) laps. The remainder of the hour will be Air Force Frisbee. Thursday will be Flag Football. Friday will be Floor Hockey with a possibility of running the Mile run..!
Running Mile is a test of endurance.
General Shop- Tuesday, I will review how to stain! Students will have to decide what color they want their project to be! THEY CAN STAIN IT NATURAL! Some students need to finish dovetailing their drawer and put on their slides.For the most part students are done building, they just need to sand, out on hardware and stain. GOAL FOR THE WEEK- HAVE EVERYONE DONE BUILDING, so they just need to sand, stain and put on hardware.
Advance Shop- GOAL FOR THE WEEK- HAVE EVERY STUDENT ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING EACH DAY ON THEIR PROJECT! WE ARE OVER HALF WAY THROUGH THE YEAR! IS YOUR STUDENTS PROJECT HALF WAY DONE!. ADVANCE SHOP IS ABOUT BUILDING A QUALITY PROJECT.

No school on Friday, Professional Development Day and no school on Monday Presidents Day!
Basketball this coming week-
This week McBain is at Lake City on Tuesday while Manton comes to town on Friday. Two key Highland Conference match-ups and possible district opponents as well.
The J.V. continued it's winning ways this week with a solid win against Frankfort 71-51. Craig Sterk led the way with 28 pts while Logan Eling chipped in 18pts. Jimmy Schneider, Tylor Clark, Carter Brunink, Emmitt Bronkema and Donovan Quist all played while in the victory. Pine River came to town on Thursday and the game became a shootout as the Ramblers hung on for a 78-73 victory. Solid support from Carter Brunink, Emmitt Bronkema each chipping in 8 pts helped to secure the win. Tyler Clark, Jimmy Schneider, Dylan Boonstra and Donovan Quist all played solid defense, rebounded and contributed to the victory. Logan Eling and Craig Sterk continued their hot shooting leading the Ramblers with 24pts and 21pts respectfully. On Friday the young Ramblers headed to Marion to finish off their sweep of the week with 60-29. Craig Sterk dumped in 26pts and Logan Eling 14pts. Brenden Sutten and Donovan Quist each had 5 pts while Dylan Boonstra scored 4pts and played excellent defense with a great job on the boards.
The varsity Ramblers won a big game on Monday at Frankfort against a team that went to the Class "D" quarters last season 49-46. Cole Powell chipped in 16pts, Tyler Sterk had 9 pts, Grant Gugle 10pts and Triston Wilson 7pts. This was a significant victory since the Ramblers lost huge at home against Beal City. A tough lost followed on Thursday though with a 42 - 36 lost to Pine River. On Friday McBain went to Marion and won 68 - 33. Triston Wilson paced the Ramblers with 20pts. As we prepare for the week ahead I see alot of promise. Three opponents under 50 pts, with two of those feats against two very good teams. We also out rebounded all three of our opponents! Playing great defense and out rebounding our opponents gives us an opportunity to win! Our goal from here out is to win every game, out rebound our opponents, keep them under 50 points and continue to improve on offense.
High School P.E- Monday and Wednesday will be physical training days. Student will do Push-ups (13), Sit-ups (24) and Run (6) laps. After words we will finish the hour with a physical activity to keep students active. Tuesday and Thursday we will have some warm-up activities and again finish the hour with game like activities like Frisbee, Floor Hockey, Flag Football, Soccer and others. If your son or daughter is failing or doing poorly it is because they are not dressing, participating or are showing up late to class. I will not give them an "A" for not doing what is expected of them.
General Shop- Main goal is to get every General Shop students "drawer" completely done! And to have students sand their nightstands so they can stain it soon. I also need students to get their hardware (hinges, handles and knobs). I want to assemble all projects before we stain and spray the nightstands!
Advance Shop- Real simple! Accomplish something everyday! For example dovetail a drawer, sand a top for your project or get something glued!
If your son or daughter is not doing well they probably are not working everyday, don't clean-up or both. I will not give out an "A" for being lazy.

Basketball this week coming.
At Frankfort Monday, Pine River home Thursday and at Marion on Friday.
The J.V never got to play a game this past week! It is tough to practice all week and not play. However, this J.V team is a very relaxed group and I believe they will be ready on Monday.
The Varsity had only one game this week and it was a very difficult game to lose! The lost against Beal City Friday was tough in many ways. It was Homecoming for starters, it was our third lost in the conference which means we are probably out of the conference race. The 83 points is the most given up by the Ramblers in a very long time. I really thought we were prepared and ready to play Friday. I apologize to all the fans because it is up to me to have this team ready and this was not a good representation of who we are or how we play.
High School P.E- Students need to be in class on time, be dressed and participate inorder to get their 20pts! I will not be giving out "A's" students need to earn their grade!
On Monday we will play Air Force Football, Tuesday 1st hour students will go into the weight room and 2nd hour will play soccer. On Wednesday we will play Volleyball and some Floor Hockey. Thursday 1st hour will again go into the weight room and 2nd hour will play some Air Force Frisbe Friday will be Basketball.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday's will be Physical Training Days! This week we will Jog (2) laps to get warmed up, after that we will stretch do 13 push-ups and 23 sit-ups. When done we will run 5 laps.
General Shop- Here as well students need to work! Some seem to think they can pick and choose when they want to work! To get the 20pts for the day. A student needs to be in class on time, work on their project and clean-up at the end of the hour if they want an "A". General Shop students are working on finishing up the construction of their projects (nightstands). Most of them are down to finishing up their drawer construction (dovetailing) and putting on the hardware (knobs, handles and hinges). They also need to sand and stain their project.
Advance Shop- It is real simple! Most have a project that they need to work on and finish before the end of the year. There are some nice projects that are creative and functional that need to to be finished. However, some students choose not to work or or clean-up. To get their 20pts a day they need to be in class on time, work on their project and clean-up !
