Warrior girls take control of No. 4 rated Lincoln Pats
Arrington, Goodhope each have over 20 in win By Ty Smith and Michael Enalls arrior girls basketball team members dealt cross-town rival Lincoln a 67-52 defeat at WHS Tuesday evening. Seniors Sydney Arrington and Anna Goodhope combined for 48 of the team’s 67 points, scoring 25 and 23, respectively. Those two were a deadly one-two combo that the Lincoln Patriots couldn’t handle. Arrington dominated anyone who tried to guard her inside, while Goodhope continually attacked from range. Senior Maddie Wiley and sophomore Jada Cunningham also helped spur the offensive effort by adding six and five assists, respectively. WHS was also excellent on defense, holding the Patriots to a 17-for-57 shooting effort on the night. Sophomore Taylor VanderVelde helped with the stellar defensive effort by racking up 13 rebounds. Senior Jade Visker loves rival games. “It’s always fun to play Lincoln because the gym is always rocking,” Visker said. In sub-varsity action, the JV team squeaked by 56-55 and the sophomores dominated 52-33. The freshman team suffered the only loss on the evening, 50-24.

What was your New Year’s resolution and how is it going?
Assembled a nd photos by Rheannan Bills and Aa ro n Johnson
“My resolution was to get stronger and enhance my sports performance. It’s been going well, as of right now.”
“I told myself I would stop watching Netflix. That resolution has not worked out too well for me.”
“My resolution was to be nicer to people. So far, so good.”
“My resolution was to exercise more often. I have been exercising regularly, as of right now.”
“My New Year’s resolution was to eat better. I have been doing really well, so far.”
Make your resolutions achievable, Warriors! 2015 was a crazy year, to say the least. Donald Trump is leading the run for president. “America’s Dad” Bill Cosby fell from grace. My Minnesota Vikings started to win football games. With all of these miracles happening, I think we can push our luck into 2016. So I Hear me. . . have a couple tips for those who still need to make their New Year’s Seth Randall resolutions. First, make your resolution an internal improvement. That is, don’t focus on losing weight or having better hygiene, etc. Make sure you are doing something to make yourself a better person internally. You can never go wrong when you try to be a nicer or even more productive person. Or, as my family would say, “serve a purpose.” This is also a safer
8o
way to convince yourself you have achieved your goal for 2016, because your excuse can be nearly anything—this will become important later! Secondly, when you decide what you should do this year, make sure your goal is so near to impossible that you won’t disappoint yourself and significant others when you don’t actually achieve your resolution. For example, my resolution is to become an astronaut. Now, we all know this is nearly impossible, especially coming fresh out of high school. So when the calendar flips to December 2016 and you ask yourself, “What happened to my resolution from last year?” it won’t bug your parents, because we all knew you were going to fail anyway! Finally, to make sure you can put a check mark by those resolutions at some point this year, make sure to stretch the boundaries of what could fulfill your resolution. I’m going to finish my resolution by jumping on a trampoline this year, which is as good as being an astronaut, to me! Senior Seth Randall will name his moon colony “Noldville.”

Study: More sea turtles hurt by spill By Jenny Staletovich Miami Herald (TNS) MIAMI –– Far more young endangered sea turtles were likely exposed to toxic oil from BP’s Deepwater Horizon explosion five years ago than previously thought, according to a study from University of Miami researchers published this week.

The number may be as high as 320,000 because previous counts did not account for nesting turtle mothers and hatchlings from across the Atlantic, researchers said. “There is a perception that the spills’ impacts were largely contained to the northern Gulf of Mexico, because that is where the oil remained,” said lead author Nathan Putman, a researcher at the Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies at the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School. But using a model to backtrack oil from the explosion that dumped 210 million gallons over 87 days, Putnam’s team calculated the probability of young turtles being in the Gulf. The model factored in population sizes, survival rates and other information from 35 major nesting beaches and came up with more than 320,000 turtles, including green, loggerhead and Kemp’s ridley species. More than 95 percent of the turtles likely migrated from the Caribbean, northern South America, western Africa, the Gulf of Mexico and places outside the U.S, suggesting the need to look at turtles beyond the Gulf. “Our findings give new geopolitical context to the scope of the spill, placing its impacts far beyond the present focus on the northern Gulf of Mexico,” Putnam said in a statement.
