Read closely; rarely will you see me saying something positive about the San Francisco 49ers. With the Niners at 10-2 on the season, however, I will give them the respect that is due to them. After nearly a decade of mediocrity, San Francisco now has a competitive football team. Actually, they are more... Read more »

My Oakland Raiders. For the past eight years, this team has been known as the laughingstock of the NFL and an easy win for any team. Not anymore. The Raiders are back as a consistent winner in professional football. With a 3-2 record, the Raiders now have a winning record 5 weeks into a season for the... Read more »

Samantha Shaffer waited patiently to get her lunch, but the bell to signal the end of lunch eventually rang and there were still a couple people ahead of her. What was she going to do?

High school youth as a whole cares nothing about politics because they feel it doesn’t affect them. You couldn’t be farther from the truth. What happens in Washington does not stay in Washington.

I played football on the JV level this year and next year I will play varsity. Gregori will be the only varsity team in our area without seniors. This, of course, poses a few problems for the Jags.

Some people pray to God. Some pray to Allah. Me? I pray to my music. Worship starts at 6:30 a.m. when my alarm clock sounds and my favorite sound in the world begins flowing from my speakers.

It was afterschool, the bell had just rung. I stood under the awning of the B building, people watching with a friend. A kid passed us on his way out to the parking lot, and all of a sudden, my friend leant over and said, “He’s such an I-wing kid.” Now, by themselves, those five little words don’t... Read more »
