SUNLIGHTED DAYS

February 29th, 2012
My hands cold on the sides of the porcelain sink. I lean in trying to get a good look. It came down to the question of whether or not I really wanted to know myself. Do I really want to wither away? Can I handle my own eyes looking back at me, sunlight extinguished within them?
I splash water on my face, abandon the mirror, and walk out into the hallway. Our house is big. It has the luxury of being spacious, which also means that it feels empty, another place to not fit into.
The only light available in the entire house is a flickering light from the television screen in the living room. All day and all night that screen is on and it’s the only welcome company for my son.
I sit with him, like I do every day.
Ever since Sammi was a baby, TV static was the only way we could ever get him to calm down. He’d go into these states, an anger that swelled and swarmed up, angry bees inside him, tensing up every muscle in his body.

Girl’s winter recap

Girl’s Basketball
This year the girls basketball team made some great strides. After winning 5 games last year, we ended our season with 11 wins and 8 losses, which is a step in the right direction. they ended up in 4th place in league, and beat Battle Ground who is 2nd place in league, 2 out of 3 times we played them. The girls are graduating 4 seniors, and we will need to work in the offseason to replace them. Our returning ladies will need to step up into larger roles and take this team where they want it to go next season. Our ultimate goal is to always put ourselves in a position to complete in post season play.
Gymnastics
The girls gymnastics team is pretty much undefeated putting them out there as our schools greatest achievers. “we had an overall great season, our team was undefeated. Everyone worked hard and had a blast with each other. I wish the season was longer.” Says Cassidy Larer. The girls worked hard to get to the top and most of the girls admit they will miss the season or will come back to it. “ Im going to miss the girls on the team so much. Everyone was very nice and helpful, I’m proud of everyone, the team did great this season.”Says Jessica Goudge.
Girls bowling
The girls bowling team ended with a bang when varsity bowlers Amanda VanMeter and Katelin Burkhart left for state and bowled against girls from all over Washington. Amanda bowled a game of 1170 total points in 6 games and a high score of 266 landing her in second place in state, and Katelin bowled a total of 224 points and bowled her first 200 game.
Swimming recap

The boy’s swimming team consisted of two members, Ben Johnson and Aidan Cogdill. They did not have enough members on the team to win any meets, and it was difficult to get boys on the team since they have to provide their own transportation to Cascade Athletic Club on Mill Plain Blvd.
Last season Johnson swam for Evergreen High School and when he transferred to heritage his sophomore year and has made some very big improvements since he swam at EVHS. Johnson placed at districts and qualified in many different events, he placed 7th in the 200 freestyle with a time of 2:23.78 and 7th place in the 500 freestyle with a 6:50.75. In other events this year, Johnson had a 27.21 in the 50 free, 59.80 in the 100, and a 1:19.33 in the 100 fly. This proves that he has made very big improvements.
“Aidan is a new swimmer and learned a ton that he will hopefully carry on into next season”. Says coach Shoup. “I am also hoping that next season there will be a few more swimmers on the team”, He continues on with explaining That having relays is a lot more fun, and it will increase the chances of winning some meets”. Even thought there were only two guys on the swimming team, they still gave it their all.
