South High’s football team became a well-oiled machine this season.
Souths Esports team practices in advisor Rob Panning-Millers room. More high schoolers than ever are picking up their headsets. Matches can be done anytime, anywhere, and with practically any sort of game. Who knows- it may even be the future of sports.
Senior Eliana Storkamp, one of the captains of South’s nordic skiing team, during a race this season. “For practice we are required to wear a mask the entire time, but for races it’s different. When you first are at the start of the race they want you to be wearing a [face covering]... and once you start racing you can put it down and put it back up when you finish.” Photo credit: Kate Anderson
Senior, Nick Carter has competed in countless races ranging from European races, World Championships to Nationals, farther than he had expected to go with his cycling career. There’s no way I would’ve ever thought I would be in this place which also makes me optimistic for the future that I could go places that I’m not thinking about right now, said Carter.
The South adapted soccer team has faced recent injustice, but nobody seems to acknowledge it. Due to snow being plowed into handicapped parking spots, many parents and players are angry because safety became a major issue when trying to get into the gym for their game. Many people are starting to think that this could be a part of a bigger issue, an issue of injustice and unacceptance within the disability community. “I agree that we [South] are really diverse but when it comes to kids with disabilities, we don’t get much of a chance because people use our disabilities against us and say that we can’t do certain stuff because of what we’re able and not able to do,” said Lamawn Saul, a sophomore on the team.
The women’s lacrosse team is getting ready to warm up to their new field. PLayers and coaches alike are excited for the new season, “We have really talented players and great captains,” said Emily Wirtz.
“It was a really fast day, it was super icy which for me was really good cause I can kind of maintain my momentum over hills… it was definitely a day that suited me,” said senior, Ethan Peterson. South Nordic Skiing brought their all to sections this year and had six members qualify for state individually.
