Isaiah Larson and Brandon rushing. Um, we couldn't have done it without our coaches. We hope to continue breaking records and hopefully place this section section champions. >> So yeah, u as you see there's two plaques up here for varsity boys and varsity girls, but it's also should be noted that we have very strong underassmen and our JB boys and JB girls also won the division 2 section title. Um they don't get plaques unfortunately, but their work should not um be unnoted. Um we have some freshman who are just outstanding and we had a very very strong varsity team this year um on both the boys and girls side. So we didn't actually have to pull up any freshman which um I think our coach head coach Scott Fairley said is like a first um we've never had to pull any freshman but that's not because the freshman lack challenges mainly because we have such talent varsity athletes.

And there's there's beautiful stuff. I mean, the what they have designed in the way of a program and what their report says is admirable and well done. And I wish everyone could see them, but because of the volume in each one of these reports, it's not possible, in my opinion. So, what to do? I have a suggestion. And the suggestion is not to avoid and not look at these reports, because they are important. Um but for Superintendent Blake to take to your administrative council the problem that I'm speaking about and see if there isn't a way to stagger during the year when I mean, some of them have a drop-dead date. They have to be done by the 15th of 15th of um October. Thank you. Um but some of them state right in them that they're a living document, that they're an ongoing, and that things get changed with school site council input, with input from administration.

The catch is made out there and Colette will hold at second base. Nice job by Rafon to shield from the sun. So that is out number one for the Clockers. That'll send up our first senior at the plate, Rebecca Criggsman. >> Really important here to take advantage of this lead off double by Colette. Rebecca. Rebecca is, as I said, a contact hitter. She typically puts her bat on the ball. Um, like to see her put one to the right side here to see if we can get Lauraai over to third Rebecca >> betting 250 as Rebecca >> missed that one. >> So, so Rebecca hit one to the third baseman. As I was saying, she should go to the right side of the field, but she was the recipient of a bobble by third. Reaches on an error. Unfortunately, Lauraai is not able to get over to third on that play, but Rebecca is now on first base with Lauraai on second.

So, if if your um senior cabinet could come up with a plan to talk to administration about staggering when those reports are made available so that the board has a chance to truly review them cuz this is good stuff. Um you know, there's a lot of thought going into what administration is putting in these reports. So that's my my complaint and my suggestion. Um the complaint is you you can't get through or at least I can't. 25-30 hours of agenda review through these reports. And um pull out questions and things cuz occasionally you'd find something you went, "Hmm, I wonder what that really means." Um but with the time constraints you don't have time to formulate intelligent questions back to you, sir, to get answers to. So that's that's my complaint and and my suggestion and my thanks and gratitude to the staffs at the sites that put these reports together cuz they're clearly um everybody is weighing in on what you know, what the health office does, what the elementary counselors do, what the targeted case managers do, what the expectations for, you know, different parts of the schools interaction with their students and families.
