NF Track

Track season is upon us. Track is going pretty good. Coach thinks we're out of shape so we as a team are striving to get in shape for this coming track meet on Monday (April 11th). It will be held in Kingsley Pierson. I feel pretty confident about how our team will do. I have this confidence because we have a couple state qualifiers and school record holders running this year. We have excellent runners in most of the events. We also have a pretty good field team. Field events are as follows: shot put, discus, long jump, and high jump. Track meets usually start with the 3200 meter run. Then comes the shuttle hurdle. Next there are a bunch of sprints, and finally the meet ends with the four by four hundred meter dash. We only really have 1 long distance runner, but I think we will do great as a team.

Basketball Update

We are currently nearing the end of our wonderful basketball team's regular season. In my opinion the hardest part of this season has been the fact that, up to this day, we have only won one basketball game. We practice hard every day we have practice. We play hard every game. Things just haven't come together this season. We have lost multiple games by less then 5 points.

Basketball

Our current basketball season is underway. Our varsity record doesn't represent the work and effort our players put in. Our varsity has on only 1 game while our jv has lost only 2 games. The team has a lot of passion for the sport. We should be ready to go for the state tournament. I believe we will have everything put together by then for a legitimate run at a state championship.

History of Football

American Football is a variation of rugby games from the U.K.The origin of professional football can be most directly linked back to 1892. In 1892 the first contract to play a professional football game was offered to William Heffelfinger. The first league of football was the Ohio League. The first championship game was held in 1919. The American Professional Football Association was created in 1920. 2 years after its creation, the American Professional Football Association changed its name to the National Football League. Later, the American Football League was formed. These two leagues then joined together. After joining, the ultimate game of professional football was created: The Super Bowl. The Super Bowl has become the most viewed TV event. It is usually shown on multiple TV channels.

Also a congratulations goes out to the Armstrong-Ringstead Mustangs on being the 8-Man Champions.
