Broncos Win. Hooray.

On Sunday, the Broncos finished the Steelers game with a surprising victory, much to the delight of the fans. “When the game started, I was certainly worried it was going to be a letdown. The last few games weren’t their best,” said sophomore Jaylin Chacon. But the Broncos won 29 to 23, finishing in overtime with an 80-yard-pass. “By the end of the second quarter, my thoughts about the outcome had changed dramatically! Towards the end I was extremely excited and nervous, and when they went into overtime I didn’t think I was going to make it,” she added.

Bump, Set, and Spike It

Summer has ended once again and school is back; sitting in dreaded classrooms with lectures, learning, blah, blah, blah. Along with school being back, so are season sports! Many kids say sports are a huge plus when it comes to school. University has a fairly decent sports program, but volleyball blew through the roof last year; second place state champs!! Everyone can only hope it will be as good as last year. A lot of senior varsity players graduated last year and left the volleyball team. These seniors include: Lindy Matthews, Caryson Garcia, Ashli Maira, Chelsea Smith, Leanne Ebens, and Sara Tappy. This leaves only two seniors for the 2011 volleyball season.

He is currently juggling classes and two (that’s right, two) sports. He is a varsity defender at Northridge High School for their soccer team, and the varsity kicker for the University Bulldogs football team. People are usually adverse to change but not in his case.

The athletes that will never be

Tiger Woods, Paul Stastny, Landon Donovan, Floyd Mayweather Jr.; all of these world class athletes came from hard work and determination in each of their sports, respectively.  And because of that, it means that they never would have gone to University Schools.

Why won’t they go to UH?  The next greatest hockey player or the up-and-rising lacrosse superstar will never come here because we don’t offer their sports.  There are a total of nine CHSAA sports that University doesn’t offer, as well as several other sports that aren’t sponsored by CHSAA, like rugby.  “I wish University would offer more sports.” said freshman Spencer Bradley. … Continue Reading
