Student Of The Week

Screenshot 2015-01-14 at 2.03.58 PM.png
There is more than meets the eye when it comes to Savannah Deakyne. For instance, between movies and books Savannah prefers movies over books. Her reasoning is that the books take a lot longer to read even though they give you more detail. It seems a little in-coincidental that Savannah's favorite subject is science, because she has always had a niche for it, and she plans to go to college to be a radiologist later in life. Some other general information about Savannah. Her middle name is Elizabeth, her celebrity crush happens to be Matthew Mcconaughey, and her favorite teacher is Mr. Leichty. If Savannah could go anywhere, she would go to Greece, because of the beautiful architecture with the houses and the way that the environment interacts with the beauty of the houses and the water. On the regards of food, Savannah's favorite food is her mom's own home made pizza, and to her it is a grilled cheese... she is an ally. This is just a small amount that goes in to Savannah, the person whom many of us call a friend.

Jessica's Book of the Week

The week book is Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler.
Haleema (screen name) rated Bittersweet two out of five stars. She that Bittersweet was too cliche. She felt like certain scenes were so girly, that you could pretty much call what was coming next. She thought that Bittersweet was like a lot of other books. She thought that characters betrayed the same character traits that show up in other books. Haleema saw the main character as quiet and shy (like in all books), while the best friend was loud and funny. She just thought that the book was too cliche.
Laura (screen name) rated Bittersweet five out of five stars. She thought that Bittersweet was very relatable. She thought that the book explained the choice of staying and leaving really well. Laura loved how Ockler caught the emotions of the choices the characters had to make. Laura loved this book and strongly encourages you to read Bittersweet. 

I would rate this book four out of five stars. I loved how it was written, but I sometimes thought that things didn't develop. I would recommend this book though, because it was a nice little read. I did really like how the main character thought out her problems through the making of cupcakes. I thought that Ockler made the main character very interesting because of her cupcake talent. I would recommend Bittersweet as a nice Saturday read.

Lady Raiders Lose to the Knights

On Tuesday, January 27th, the Lady Raiders traveled to Southwood High School to take on the Knights. The JV Raiders lost to the JV Knights by two. The final score was 32 to 30. The JV girls struggled with making shots towards the end of the game. In the Varsity game, the Raiders struggled to make jump shots and didn't play defense to the best of their ability. The Raiders fell the the Lady Knights 46-20.

The Lady Raiders will be back in action on Saturday at the Raider Dome at 6 pm.

Wrestling ACAC

The wrestling ACAC tournament that was held at Jay County was a tough day for all of the Southern Wells wrestlers. Through all of the stiff competition Jacob Stout and TC Perry managed to come out with a championship win in their weight classes. That following Monday Levi Jones was asked about this upcoming sectional tournament and Levi had stated that just about every weight class being represented by Southern Wells has a good chance to move onto regional.

B.A.D. Pinterest Episode 10

The B.A.D. boys are back in action this week with yet another episode. This week the boys decided they wanted to fly, or something close to it. They were tasked to build their best paper airplanes in just 15 minutes, and let them fly down the hallway. The results were hilarious. The results from last week had Blake coming in first, Austin coming in second, and Drew's ponytail coming in last.

Raider Boys' Varsity fall to Jay County again

The Varsity boys team traveled to Jay County Saturday night after a long Friday night at Leo.  It was a weird night for all Raiders, as the girls also played at Jay County too. The boys JV game was more positive for Raider fans as the JV team got a win over the Patriots 46 to 38. But the Varsity game was not very fun for the Raiders. The Patriots have the best defense in the state, only allowing their opponents to score an average of 33 points per game. Raiders were only able to put up 3 points by halftime. They had a much better second half, scoring 24 points. The game ended with a dominate win for Jay County at 66-27. The Raiders will be back in action Tuesday night at home against Muncie Burris. Come out and support.

Raiders Fall To Lions

The Raiders fell to the Leo Lions 47-87 on Friday night at Leo. The Lions moved to 15-0 and continued their perfect season. They are one of the 3 teams in the state who still have a undefeated record. Leo is 3rd in the 3A state rankings. Despite the score, the Raiders played hard until the final buzzard. The Raiders started the game off good, which they have struggled with throughout the year taking a quick 7-3 lead. Than the Lions caught fire and made it look almost impossible to miss. The Raiders the next day traveled to Jay county for Junior Varsity and Varsity action.

Student of the Week


Up on the Block this time around for student of the week we have Codie Oneal! Trying to keep things as cool as possible, and not having this article sound like a online dating profile, here is some info on Codie! Codie's favorite subject and teacher are band, choir, piano, and Mr. Haigh. I asked Codie how he felt about going to school in a circle he said, "I feel like it is very easy to get around and good for getting to each class on time." Some other interesting fact about Codie are his middle name is Eugene, when he grows up he wants to become a singer for a worship band, and he prefers movies over books because they give him more if a visual rather than books. We have all thought of being an animal one time or another, and when I asked Codie what animal he would be he promptly responded with the arctic wolf, the arctic wolf is a very interesting animal. Codie gave me one of the most interesting answers I have had when asking who a person's celebrity crush is. Codie told me, " I don't really have one, I am not one that is into crushing on many girls because I find it pointless to have a crush on somebody unless you know them personally. In my opinion one of the most important questions Codie answered it correctly in my eyes. To Codie, it is the Grilled cheese sandwich not a cheese toastie. Be sure to give Codie a high five in the hallway.

WEEKLY NEWS WITH JOHN & HUNTER

John Gearheart:     Next week The NE Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will face of in the Super Bowl. And I think it is fair to say that the sure lock winner is the Pats, here is the reason why! The Seahawks have absolutely no talent in the Quarterback position while the Pats have one of the greatest of all time! Brady is going to run all over Seattle's defence! Not to mention that the best corner in the league plays for the Pats Darrelle Revis. Its going to be any easy game for the Pats in my opinion! My prediction is Pats by 28.

Hunter Schreiber:     With John's terrible prediction of Super Bowl I will have to strongly disagree with him.  I would have to disagree with him about Tom Brady, because Seattle's defense is just too good.  When you have the best defensive back in the league, Richard Sherman, shutting down one side of the field it is nearly impossible to do anything good.  Along with Richard Sherman, the Seahawks also have the best running back in the league named Marshawn Lynch.  Lynch is a bulldozer of a running back plowing over all the defensive players in his way.  When you have two of the best players in the league at their positions they become very difficult to beat.  My prediction is the Seahawks win by 21.

The Wedding Ringer - Movie Review

The Wedding Ringer rated R starring Kevin Hart, Josh Gad, and Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting. Socially awkward Doug Harris (Josh Gad) is two weeks from marrying the women of his dreams (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting), but he has a problem: He doesn't have any groomsmen for the occasion. Desperate and running out of time, Doug calls upon Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart), owner and operator of Best Man Inc., a company that provides attendants for friendless grooms. As Doug tries to pull off the con, a bromance unexpectedly blossoms between Jimmy and himself. This movie is hilarious and Kevin Hart and Josh Gad do an amazing job starring in it. It does a great job showing how two guys who don't even know eachother can work together and be great friends in only a matter of two short weeks. I would rate this move 5 stars I thought it was hilarious and definitely worth seeing.

Taken 3 - Movie Review



This last Monday, on our snow day off, I went to the Huntington 7 movie theater and watched Taken 3 starring Liam Neeson. This film was very good and action packed just like the previous two movies. I however, thought the movie fell short to my expectations and wasn't as good as I wanted it to be, but I was still very happy with the movie. Without giving too much away the movie is about Liam Neeson tracking down the killers and solving the murder of his wife's death which he was framed for. I would rate this movie an 8/10 because Liam Neeson in his role as Bryan Mills uses all of his skills to prove to the CIA, FBI, and police that he is innocent and was framed. No one in the movie really got "taken" like in the first two, so I think the movie should've had a different name. This movie is very suspenseful and action packed and you have no idea who the killer is until the very end. It definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat. They set the ending of the film up perfectly for there to be a Taken 4, so I would not be surprised if in a few years we see Maggie Grace (Kim) and Liam Neeson staring again in another movie.

Raiders Lose To Jay County

The Raiders hosted Jay County tuesday in the opening round of the ACAC tournament. The Raiders came out and had trouble scoring on the very tough Jay County Defense. The Raiders first points came midway through the second quarter from captain Keaton Coleman. The Raiders played hard on defense holding Jay County to only 24 first half points, but the Raiders lack of scoring hurt. At half they trailed by a score of 24-6. The second half was a lot more even but the Raiders first half deficit was too much to overcome. The Raiders fell to a final score of 46-20. The Raiders will play Saturday at 10 AM in the Raiderdome in the consolation bracket against Adam Central.  The girls will play Adams Central following the boys game.

Are Snow Days a Good Thing?

In the first two weeks back from break, we experienced a few delays and a few closings. Snow days give us a break from the homework, notes, test, etc. But with these days off, we make them up in the summer, where the weather is beautiful, warm, and bright. Here are a few students' opinions on snow days.


Jessica Yencer- "Snow days are a good thing because you get to be lazy all day, and then go to Taco Bell, and the library and then go cuddle up with a book."
Brant Mechling- "I plead the 5th."
Mason Stevens- "I dislike snow days because I like the summer."
Tess Gilbert- "I dislike them because I can't see people."
Sam Smith- "I love them because I don't do anything."
Landon Lenwell- "I don't because I have to stay home when my parents are gone."
Cole Meeks- "I do because I can clean the sidewalk for my church."

Staying healthy during the Winter months

As you may know, it is pretty hard for most people to stay completely healthy during the Winter months. It's hard to make sure you take care of yourself. Here are a few things to do to make yourself a little healthier during the Winter months:
-Wash your hands after using the restroom
-Drink water
-Eat healthy
-Get a flu shot
-Try not to touch public objects
-Use hand sanitizer
-Get a good amount of exercise
-Get a good night's sleep every night

Xbox or PS3

Hunter:  When it comes to gaming which type of system do your prefer.  The type of system I prefer is a PS3 rather than a Xbox 360.  I prefer PS3 because PS3 of three simple reasons.  The first reason I prefer PS3 is because, the PlayStation Network is free.  PlayStation Network is the ability to play games online against friends, or random people.  With Xbox you have to pay to play online.  The second reason is because the PS3 comes with a blu-ray drive, so you can watch Blu-ray movies on it.  Blu-ray movies are better quality, and better than regular movies.  Xbox can only play original movies.  The third and final reason why I think the PS3 is better, is because with PS3 controllers they are easier to charge.  Some Xbox controllers are rechargeable, but all PS3 controllers are all rechargeable.  The PS3 controllers can be charging, while playing your game. For these reasons are why I prefer and think PS3 is better than Xbox.

John: Xbox 360 is a newer console that has better graphics and a better processing system than PS3, also many Large Name Video game producers only make their games for Xbox and not PS3. Bungie is one if not the best producer of games they have produced Platinum hit games such as the Halo series. This is arguably the best gaming series of all time those who think otherwise have never played them and cant put forth a valid opinion. As for the controller argument stated earlier by Hunter, Yes PS3 controllers are rechargeable but they also are not comfortable to hold in your hand they just simply do not fit properly. Some features that Xbox offers are an easily navigable dashboard, their own online movie and game purchasing system. The only real advantage to PS3 is the online is free.

The man, the myth, the legend Spank

Starting this week I will be having interviews with athletes throughout the school, to help you get to know our schools players a little bit better. This week's interview will be with Keaton Coleman.

1. First of all, how did you get the nickname "Spank"?
-... no comment

2. When did you start playing basketball?
-Kindergarten

3. How are you feeling coming off the knee injury?
-I am feeling nervous, and pressured because I know that my team needs me perform well

4. How do you feel being a two time North vs South all-star?
-It is a great honor, the games are very fun and are a great opportunity for college scouts to find good high school basketball players.

5. What have you done to become the two time 2nd team all conference player?
-Have big moments, hit big shots, try to do every little thing right, and do what the coach asks

6. You are also a 2 year regional qualifier for high jump and ACAC champion last year, and a one year regional qualifier for shot put, what in your mind, is your most impressive accomplishment?
-Probably being an ACAC champion in high jump, because I had to beat a 6'4" very athletic Jaylin Bennet who is now playing running back at Indiana State University.

7. Basketball or track?
- That is a very tough question because I love the way that I'm a lone athlete in track because it's not really a team sport, but basketball has been my sport since I was 5.

Student of The Week

This week for student of the week we at the S-Dub Hub have chosen Brandt Couch.  A little bit about Brandt, when it comes to which he prefers between books and movies he chooses movies because he likes to be entertained and there aren't very many books that entertain and intrigue him. When I asked Brandt what his favorite school subject is he responded with Ag management. He responded with Ag management not only because he wants to pursue a career in Ag but also because he can relate to many to many of the topics that they cover. It just so happens to be that Brandt's favorite teacher at the school is Mr. Stauffer, no coincidence considering Brandts favorite subject is Ag management and he also wants to pursue a degree in Ag. Using that degree in Ag he wants to be an agronomist and hopefully own his own small livestock operation. It just so turns out that Brandt's middle name is Steven. When asked who his celebrity crush is Brandt replied with Sophia Bush. If he could go anywhere Brandt would go to Saskatchewan, Canada to go hunting. His favorite meal is one surely fit for a king, Brandt's favorite meal would be a rib-eye steak with grilled garlic shrimp mashed potatoes and a caesar salad. If brandt could be one animal he would be a white tail deer so he could figure out how they slip past him every year. This is only a small bit about Brandt. If you see him in the hallway be sure to say hi and give him a high-five!

Raider wrestling against Norwell

The win for the raiders at Norwell started with the weight class 170, and since our Raider wrestling team doesn't have a 170 the night started with Norwell getting 6 team points due to a forfeit. The first match was Ethan Smith at 182, getting one takedown before getting the pin. Next in the Raider lineup was Nik Roberts with one takedown, one escape, and an impressive two reversals before finally pinning his opponent. The next Raider to compete was Jimmy McQueary with a nail biting match that resulted in his win with three takedowns. Representing the Raiders for the smaller weights was Steven Jones getting one takedown then very quickly pinning his opponent from Norwell. The only Raider loss on the night came from Wesley Moore. For the final match was Paul Renner getting three takedowns and finishing off his opponent with a pin.

AFC Championship New England Patriots vs Indianapolis Colts

It is time for a one of these two teams to go to the Super Bowl in Arizona. It would be Tom Brady's sixth Super Bowl appearance if they win. If the Colts win it would be Andrew Luck's first. It would put New England in it first Super Bowl since 2011 against the Giants. Tom Brady and Coach Bill Belichick have already won three Super Bowl and it is their ninth AFC Championship. They have more experience than any of the 3 teams left. This is including the NFC Championship game. Andrew Luck is 0 - 3 against Brady and Luck stats in these games are terrible. Here are some stats to compare for why New England will return back to the Super Bowl. As you see here below you will see it should be a good game but Luck never has been able to beat Brady and they will not beat them in Foxborough.
Prediction Patriots 34 Colts 31

What do you like about Southern Wells?
I like the smaller size of SW that allows staff to get to know students better than in large schools.

What is your favorite part of your job?
It is a great feeling to see kids I have known since 6th grade complete high school successfully and graduate! It's always fun to see them after high school and hear about their lives: jobs, families, the military, etc.

I can't imagine. I wouldn't want to be an animal because some people treat them terribly! (But I love dogs...)

Grilled Cheese or cheese toastie?
I say both! Usually it's CHEESE TOASTIE.

A barrel of fresh water - don't want to run out of water to drink!
