The girls are 0-1 after losing their opener to Rapid City St. Thomas More 55-44 Saturday at WHS. They are unrated in this week’s poll, but did receive votes. Moorhead is 5-1 and is rated No. 9 in Minnesota Class 4A this week.

Coach Jamie Parish is excited for the game. “If we play as hard as we did last weekend we’re going to keep getting better,” Parish said. “The point guard for Moorhead is one of the best athletes we will see this year. Warrior Nation better make an appearance tonight because we will need them!” Tonight’s fan-dress theme is White Out.

Okichiyapi Club conducts campus clean-up
By Payton Jahnke Okichiyapi Club members freshmen Kyia Christiansen, Emmy Flores-Lagos, Alyssa Krush, Tyree Reed and Brady Spotted War Bonnet; sophomore Alex Sanchez; junior Brooke DeReu and senior Cody Tyson braved a brutal day in Sioux Falls with strong winds and cold weather to conduct a campus clean-up Wednesday. Club adviser Bruce Rekstad said it was a way for the club to give back to the WHS community.
“We wanted to clean up our beautiful campus before Christmas break,” Rekstad said. The overall meaning of Okichiyapi is “help,” and the name of the club fulfills the main goal of what the eight students did around the school throughout the event. Rekstad said the students were happy to help. “The members of the club were excited and glad to help out the school to make it a better place,” Rekstad said.

Olson family recommends music for all Almost every person I know can relate music to different life moments and memories. Whether it was a concert, driving around with friends, or just another significant moment in life, there is something about music that can fill us with emotion from absolute joy, to comfort, to excitement, to Hear me. . . sadness. According to Spotify’s “Year in a Wrap,” I lisLauren Olson tened to 46,624 minutes of music this year—a little bit over 32 days worth! Everyone has their favorite genre of music, but Warriors, I think it’s time to branch out with your musical tastes just in time for the new year, courtesy of the Olson family.

If you’re wanting to join the rap game, you can follow my brother, with his top picks of Kanye West, Migos, Lil Uzi Vert and Eminem. If you’re thinking about going back to classic rock and maybe a little metal, my dad could help you out with AC/DC, Metallica and my personal favorite, The Beatles. Wanting to bond with your parents a little more this holiday break? Check out my mom’s 80’s favorites by Wham!, Ambrosia and Toto. My sister has you covered with her electronic bangers like Flume, ODESZA and Whethan. Lastly, if you want to adventure into the alternative, I’ve got my suggestions—Passenger, Bon Iver and The Glass Animals. So Warriors, in a year that made us want to tune out, music gave us reasons to keep listening. I hope you can find a few new songs to put on repeat as 2017 comes to a close and 2018 begins. Senior Lauren Olson plans to check out “Revival,” Eminem’s new album, today.

Science Friday When this happens, it may take surgery to rout those germs. But soon doctors could kill those germs from outside the body, without drugs or cutting someone open. The trick to make it happen—a special magnet. Doctor David Greenberg and biophysicist Rajiv Chopra are using changing magnetic fields to create heat. This process is known as induction heating. “If you think about using heat like a drug, what is the best dose of heat you need to kill off any biofilm, but not damage any surrounding tissues?” Greenberg asks. To find out, his team tested the process on mice. These animals had small metal pellets implanted in their legs. The pellets didn’t have biofilms. But they helped test the safety of heating a metal implant that would be in touch with living tissue. From these test data, he says, “It actually looks like flash heating — just a burst of high power — is safer than slow and steady [heating].” His team will do more tests in animals before trying the technique in people. It’s too soon to know if alternating magnetic fields will cure internal infections in people. The scientists have only tested it on tiny metal pellets in mice. And real implants usually are not all metal; they also tend to have some plastic parts. And they’re held in place with bone cement or screws.
