Football Sundays

Football, I believe, is one of the best sports in the U.S. It's a sport that gives you everything you want. Football shows, you hard hitting, fast paced, and gutsy calls all within 60 minutes. But above all the best thing about football is the food that is offered. When my friends and I gather for football sunday we end up having a potluck. Everyone brings their own food such as wings, dips and sandwiches. It's great to get everyone together and the week on a good note. Football does this. Everyone has a favorite team that they're rooting for and always have fun in either a win or a loss.

Love Of A Sport

A sport is defined as an 'activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment'. The two words that pop out to me is 'individual' and 'team'. Since high school, I've known cross country as the sport that rules all. For those of you who don't know what cross country is, it's the sport you see skinny lanky high school students run through your local park early on Saturday morning wearing little to nothing singlets . I know what you are thinking, bunch of weirdos who like to run and you say to yourself "I don't get it". Which by then I'd have to say well yea I agree with you but its more than that. People who think of sports think of a team activity usually centered around a ball. In which I would say you're right but I have a different view and so do millions of others. Cross Country to me is when you have your teammates ready to go to battle with for

Mr. Vargas and Math

When I tell someone I'm a Math teacher, they always assume I've been always good at math. Unfortunately, and trust me I wish I was, is not the truth. From elementary school until about Highschool I can admit Math was always one of those subjects that I've been okay with nothing too special. Had some tests that I aced and a few that I failed. It wasn't until College where I fully fell in love with it and see what it could do. My math professor at Dowling College was Mr. Vargas. He was the department chair and was my teacher for most of my math classes. I admired how he taught and how he related his lessons to everyday life.

They way he was teaching I instantly got what he was talking about and did it exceedingly well. He inspired me to be a teacher and to make sure every or most of my lessons to be connected to myself or the outside world in some capacity. I s

Kellenberg Freshman Cross Country Recap

The Kellenberg freshman cross country team focused on the process rather than any specific results or outcome of any race. As expected in a cross country season there were a lot of ups and downs, twists, and turns but overall it was a lot of fun and from a coaching standpoint we saw a lot of hard work and dedication put in this year. At the beginning of the year, it was a learning curve for these young freshmen not only to run fast and hard but to learn how to race and get the best result. At the end of the season, the Firebirds finished an impressive 4th place in a tough race at the NSCHSAA League Championship at Sunken Meadow. The most valuable award clearly goes to John Quinn this season and was seen early to be a workhorse even at tryouts. John was our top runner in every race of the season and even placed himself into the Intersectional cities championship race where he ran against the upper-level high school runners of the CHSAA. This year’s Freshman cross country MVP is Jo
