By: Ashley & Yadira The seniors we chose to spotlight this week are Yaqueline Muniz and John Freeman. We asked Yaqueline a couple of questions. The first question we asked was what her best memory from her years at Texhoma High School is. She said it was when she went to state in Cross Country. Yaqueline s most embarrassing moment in high school was crashing into a trash can while running in Cross Country practice. Seward County Community College is where she plans on going to college. When asked what she would miss most about T.H.S., she said all the memories with her friends. Mrs. Keenen is her favorite teacher. After high school, she plans to go to college and be successful. Yaqueline s sister is the person who influenced her the most throughout high school. Her last word to T.H.S. is, So long. This time around we interviewed senior John Freeman. One of his favorite memories from his four years at Texhoma was the frog and the shenanigans in Cooksey s class. If he could change one thing from his freshman year, he would go back and not blow up his finger in the weight room. He plans to attend Oklahoma State University and work towards an Agribusiness or an Airmatics degree. Then, he plans to travel the world. He said he would miss making Jason Martinez go to the gym, and being with Cooksey. His last words to T.H.S. are, \_( ツ )_/,. Page 2.
Seiling Tournament! By: Beatriz & Victoria. Seiling Tournament started on Thursday, January 5, 2017, with the girls playing Canton. They came in short by three with a score of 30 to 33. Later that night, the boys competed against the Seiling Wildcats. Even though they did more than everyone expected, they still took an L on that game. Friday afternoon the girls once again faced the Laverne Tigers and beat them. However the boys didn t get the win against Vici. Saturday was an early morning for the Texhoma boys and girls starting with the boys playing Canton. It was a tough, long game for both teams, yet our Texhoma boys came on top in overtime. The girls played right after the boys for Consolation. They played Cimmaron and it was a close match up the entire game even with a double overtime, but Lady Red Devils came in short and lost. By: Brody & Carrie. Ronda Rousey, the American mixed martial artist, lost the fight to Amanda Nunes on Friday night in Las Vegas at UFC 207. If you thought Rousey s loss to Holly Holm in November of 2015 was brutal, it s nothing compared to this lopsided rout. Nunes knocked Rousey out in the first 48 seconds of the fight. Everyone is now asking where this leaves Rousey s career. People have said the emotional strain and pressure have seemingly broken her. The moment Rousey felt the power of Nunes punches, she checked out. It s said when a fighter gets to that point, it s time to retire. According to Forbes, there are so many other things she can do; her work in MMA is done. Rousey has grown the sport for women in a way that no one else has or ever will again, but it s time for her to move on to the next chapter in her life. Page 3.

There's a lot of talk about starting families, but no one ever talks about finishing what they started. When I die, I want to be shot out of a cannon and into a children's birthday party. What has four legs and one arm? A doberman in a playground. I bought my blind friend a cheese grater for his birthday. A week later, he told me it was the most violent book he had ever read. Where do you find a dog with no legs? Right where you left it. Can orphans eat at a family restaurant? Page 4
