The 7th grade A team took on Canyon Thursday night for the second time this season. The Unicorns came out fast and pounded the Cougars up and down the court. The Unicorns were shooting lights out, knocking down seven 3 bombs in the game. Big Blue led by as much as 21 in the second half but a late surge by Canyon made it close in the end. The Unicorns took the victory by a score of 50-44.

The 7th grade B team put the hammer down on Canyon as well. This one was never close with the Unicorns charging out to a 6-0 lead to finish the first quarter. At half the count was 18-3 good guys. Big blue never backed off and a comeback was never an option. The Unicorns took the victory 29-16 to sweep the Cougars for the season.

Next week the Unicorns travel to Church Hill for their final game of the season!

The 7th grade basketball team hosted the first tournament of the season on saturday. The A and B team finished the day undefeated with valuable wins under their belt. The A team once again had some real nail biters on their hands. In their first game they faced Briesemiester and for the second time this season ended up in overtime! The Unicorns took control of the game in the second quarter and maintained a small lead for much of the game. Late in the 4th Briese came storming back and tied the game at the buzzer to force OT. In overtime the Unicorns came out fast taking a quick 6 point lead and were able to hold off their opponent to win 53-51. In their second game they faced Canyon. Once again the Unicorns took control of the game and maintained a lead throughout the contest taking a 15-9 lead into the half. In the 4th quarter Canyon got hot and took a one point lead, but that would not hold up for long. Smart ball handling and great passing proved to much for Canyon, and eventually Hudson RIce k
nocked down a 3 point shot with 2 minutes left to retake the lead which would not be lost from that point on. The final score was 31-28 Unicorns.

The B team took a slightly different approach versus Briesemiester. Leaving nothing to chance the Unicorns scored 22 straight points before allowing a single basket, making the halftime score 28-6. They never backed off and continued to dominate the game leading to a final score of 54-10. Their second game against Canyon was not quite as high scoring yet the Unicorns still pulled out the win. The game was a defensive battle but the Unicorns never lost control of the action getting several steals and holding Canyon scoreless in the 4th quarter to finish with a 22-13 victory.

Come watch the 7th grade basketball team at home on Thursday night take on Smithson Valley.

We will be on Regular Schedule tomorrow. You will have the opportunity to watch the Inauguration starting about mid-morning.

Report Cards will be mailed out on Wednesday.

Well the BIG day has finally arrived. It's time for the 4th Annual FCA Krud War. All FCA members will be meeting at NEWK'S main lodge at 3:30 and will march bravely to the traditional KrudWar field. The question on everyone's lips is who will win? Will it be the 7th grade or the 8th grade? Only those with courage enough to attend will ever know for sure. It is rumored that our own Mr. De La Garza has challenged both grades in this yearly contest. I'm not sure, but I don't think this activity has any similarities to a football game. Remember FCA members, you need to wear your best Krud War clothes and bring your best Krud War towel. We will be through at 4:30. Your parents can pick you up at the main lodge.

Nurse News:
Students in the 7th and 8th grades are being required to get a vaccine (which is a shot) before going to High School. It is to protect against Whooping Cough, also called pertussis, and it also protects against Tetanus, in case you get a dirty cut or step on a nail. The other vaccine is to protect you from Meningitis. Meningitis is very serious and can leave you in a coma or cause you to become very sick, and be put into the hospital.

Many students at this school need these shots, and they will come to the school to give them in April. Students need to take home the very important letter and permission slip that is being handed out Monday. The due date to get them turned in is February 22nd.
Please give these forms to your parents. You and all your friends can get your shots on the same day!! Don't get left out.
