Enalls breaks record at Metro track meet By Jack Schelhaas The Warrior track team hit the polyurethane at the Metro Conference Track Meet Friday at O’Gorman’s McEneaney Field. Overall, the boys did well, finishing second with a total score 80.5 team points. The highlight of the meet was senior Michael Enalls posting a Conference Meet record time of :15.2 in the 110 meter hurdles to take first. Senior Ty Smith took a close second with a time of :15.26. Enalls was humble regarding his record time. “It’s been fun to see my time begin to drop,” Enalls said. “I couldn’t do it without my coaches and teammates pushing me to be the best I can be.”
The boys also took first in the 4x800 Relay. Seniors Austin Miller, Nick Rovang and Alex Derr and sophomore Topher Zahn won in 8:18.45. The girls finished fourth overall with a score of 34.33. The top performer for the girls was sophomore Haley Christopherson, grabbing a third place finish in the 100 dash. In the 4x100 relay team took first with a time of :50.62. Lincoln won both the boys and girls divisions. The Warriors will be back on the track Tuesday at Roosevelt as they take on Roosevelt and Watertown.
Baseball team takes two from Harrisburg By Patrick Saaleephiw and Chase O’Connor The varsity baseball team took both games of a doubleheader Thursday at Augustana University’s Ronken Field. The Warriors destroyed the Tigers in Game One 12-1. Winning pitcher was senior Tyler Olmstead.
In Game Two, the Tigers kept it closer as WHS won 5-4. Sophomore Alex Bertram was the winning pitcher; senior Keenahn Coyle had the save. Coach Chad Barman said it was a huge night for the Warriors. “It is rare to get the opportunity to play two regional
games in one night,” Barman said. “We took advantage of it, and set us up to proceed exactly how we want the remainder of the season.” WHS is now 9-5 on the season and 2-1 in Region play. The Warriors next face Brandon Valley at 5 p.m. Thursday at Harmondon.

Biggest show yet hits Premiere Center On the way to WHS this morning, I noticed many local radio stations were playing music by legendary Beatles member Paul McCartney. I couldn’t figure out why McCarntey suddenly had a resurgence on my radio until I realized tonight is Hear me. . . the night that many music fans not only from the city of Sioux Carson Herbert Falls, but also from around the region, have been waiting for—the former teen idol, British Knight and renowned solo artist will be playing his first concert ever in the state of South Dakota.

The McCartney concert is expected to be the biggest concert the Premier Center has hosted so far in its two years of existence. Banners and decorations have been placed all over the Premiere Center and throughout the rest of the city welcoming McCartney and concert visitors. Blue lights will also be on display at Falls Park to welcome the singer. McCartney joins an impressive list of musicians to perform at the popular Sioux Falls venue so far, with Ed Sheeran and Elton John recently putting on sold-out shows. Country stars such as Luke Bryan and Carrie Underwood will also be performing in the near future. Tonight’s concert, which is a part of Sir Paul’s “One On One” Tour, is expected to last two-and-a-half hours and be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for attendees. Junior Carson Herbert is jealous of his parents and others who will attend tonight.

Protests rage outside Trump rally in California
COSTA MESA, Calif. — Hundreds of demonstrators filled the street outside the Orange County amphitheater where Donald Trump held a rally Thursday night, stomping on cars, hurling rocks at motorists and forcefully declaring their opposition to the Republican presidential candidate. Traffic came to a halt as a boisterous crowd walked in the roadway, some waving American and Mexican flags. Protesters smashed a window on at least one police cruiser, punctured the tires of a police sport utility vehicle, and at one point tried to flip a police car. About five police cars were damaged in total, police said, adding that some will require thousands of dollars’ worth of repairs. “Dump the Trump,” one sign read. Another protester scrawled antiTrump messages on Costa Mesa police cars.
Indiana Gov. backs Ted Cruz
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, who had been courted by Donald Trump, endorsed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Friday ahead of his state’s presidential primary on Tuesday. Pence announced his endorsement during a local talk radio show on Friday, calling Cruz a “principled conservative.” “I’m pleased to support him,” said Pence, lauding the Texas senator’s call to, among other things, repeal Obamacare as well as his opposition to abortion. Pence, serving in his first term, was lobbied by Trump and met with the billionaire businessman on a handful of occasions. He said he respects and likes Trump and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, the third remaining candidate vying for the nomination.
