Boys Basketball

By Natalie O’Brien


The week after fall sports came to an end, winter sports began. Boys’ Basketball just
started practice, learning new drills before the games. There are three teams: JV1,JV2,
and Varsity. Each team has a new coach this year; Turner Botz will be coaching for JV2;  
Anthony Martin will take up the role as assistant coach for Varsity; and Jon VanGrinsven
will also be an assistant coach for the JV1 team.  Our returning coaches are Mr. Martin
and Matt Plate. With the season approaching quickly, the coaches are very excited to
see what the boys will accomplish this year.  Coach Martin is very confident in his team
and has high hopes for this season.  “We hope to continue our streak of finishing in the Top
4 of our conference for the 13th straight year, which includes five conference championships
over those years,” Martin shared.  “We have a strong nucleus of returning players led
by our five seniors: Connor Mara, Max Schommer, Keenan Stevens, Sawyer Huss,
and Matt Reynebeau. Junior Noah Mueller also returns and has been in the starting line-up
since he was a freshman. In addition, we have a strong junior class. We believe we have
the talent and depth to be a formidable ball club and hope to contend for another conference
championship."  As the season begins for the boys, we cannot wait for more games to come
and cheer them on as their journey continues.

College is a big step for people now a days. So many seniors are traveling around the state to extend their schooling for their future plans. I have interviewed a few of our own students here at LCHS. They were asked a few questions like where they are going, what they are doing, and what they are looking forward to most in college? There is a ton of very different studies that these students will be going for and what they enjoy doing the most. Many students do not know what they want to do in the near future but these students are prepared and ready to start their next chapter in life. Below are a few students that I have interviewed for the article and the questions that were asked.

2017 Winter Band Concert

by Mckenzye Wymer


The LCHS Symphonic band is having their annual winter concert December 11 on a Monday.The Symphonic band is playing two pieces at the winter concert, one of them being Radetzky March and the other one being the Canadian Brass Christmas. The Radetzky March is a very popular in Austria normally played around the New Year celebration. In Austria the Radetzky March is a very cultural piece. The whole audience claps with the beat of the song, as the conductor joins along with them. The second piece is called A Canadian Brass Christmas. This piece has many smaller parts in the music inside this piece is ´We saw Three Ships¨ and ´Huron Carroll´. This piece is very interesting to listen to as you can hear the brass section have the melody instead of the woodwinds. Instead of the loud and vibrant feel of the Radetzky March, this piece is slow and steady.  The LCHS Symphonic band conductor also known as Natalie Beck has been helping all the sections to help, critique and get everyone more confident in themselves to play these difficult pieces. This year's band concert is going to be held at Lawrence University this year, along with the choir concert. The LCHS band was able to do this by an anonymous donation. If you are willing to spend only two hours of your time to support our hardworking choir and band on December the 11th, we hope to see you there!



Student of the Week

by Mckenzye Wymer


Adrianna Marshall has been recognized for her amazing artwork. Adrianna is normally seen in the art room working on her art project for the class or just practicing new techniques.  She has always been into art ever since she came to this school. She is also very helpful if anyone has a question about their artwork, or they just need her opinion.  Adrianna had agreed to let me interview her, and she gave really amazing answers.

1. When did you realize that you wanted to pursue the art field?
I never really had a realization moment, itś always been in my life so I´ve always been accustomed to it. However, freshman year I really expanded my techniques and styles of art to a point where I thought I could actually do something with my life around art.

2.  If you had to pick one which project are you most happy with?
Itś really hard to pick a project Iḿ most happy with because Iḿ always finding mistakes in what I do, but, I probably would pick either my Mad Hatter drawing, skull pastel piece, or the piece Iḿ currently working on, an ink stippling (dot) koi fish.

3. Is there anything you would change about any of your artworks?
If I could change anything I probably change my detail work. For example, with the Mad Hatter drawing, I didn´t put as much detail into the face and hair that I wanted to so it isn't the best quality that I think I could have done.

4.  If you could say anything to someone who is starting to get into art what would it be?
Don´t give up and don´t pressure yourself, art is a way of relieving stress, not making it. Also, there will always be someone who does a different art style than you, it doesn´t make them better than you, you just have to find your style and keep practicing, youĺl get there!

5.  Can you see yourself continuing with your artwork in the future?
I can see myself continuing with art in the future, I might actually pursue a career in art too, however, I don´t know what exactly what. If by chance I choose a way different career area I´d still try to work with art in my free time.

CYO Season Looms

by Cassie Bevers
CYO basketball is one of the most popular activities here at Little Chute High School. For those of you don’t know what CYO is, it is a fun way to get some exercise with your friends and be apart of a team. The first game this year is on December 2nd. I interviewed a handful of players and they all seem ecstatic for this season to begin.
I interviewed Abby Buchholz, beginning her CYO career this season. She says, “I am very excited to finally get the chance to play with my friends. I hope that we can make it to the consolation championship because I think the regular championship is a little out of reach. I love basketball, so I’m really excited to see where this season will take us. That’s all I have to say about that.”
Olivia Gloudemans, a returning CYO player, seems to be very excited. She says, “I have high expectations for our team this year. I think if our team comes together and plays well we will have a successful season. There are some new girls on our team this year, and we also have a new coach, which we are very excited about. I am excited to see how our team will work together and hope to have a great season.”
Megan Lonigro, also beginning her CYO season this year, says “I am ready for the CYO season to start. I have some previous basketball experience, which I believe will help my team. I am excited to play with a new team, and I am ready for some competition.”
Will Berens, who has played all four years, says “I am very thankful for such a great organization. I want to thank Tim Hartjes for being a great leader and also for doing a great job organizing CYO. I would also like to thank Forest Welch for being not only a great coach, but also a role model. I love playing the game. Although I am not the most talented, I have a lot of fun and a lot of good memories from all of my years of playing.”
As exciting as a season that many people can expect to have, CYO is a fun experience for any student who wants to get some exercise and hang out with their friends. Sign up today!
