By Hannah Bowen

With homecoming right around the corner, Crestview students selected their homecoming attendants and king and queen candidates last week. The freshman attendants are Emma Bowen and Javin Etzler, sophomore attendants are Ally McCoy and Trevor Gibson, and the junior attendants are Cora Millay and Tyler Riggenbach.The candidates for homecoming king are Cyler Miller, Carter Brown, and Jordan Miller.The queen candidates are Emily Bauer, Haley Helm, and Kenadie Speith.

“I’m excited to dress up and wear cute clothes,” said Millay. “It’s an honor to have been chosen by my classmates.” The homecoming game is on Friday, Oct. 2, and the dance is Saturday, Oct. 3.

Last Friday the football team fell to the Columbus Grove bulldogs in an 18-0 loss. Saturday, the cross-country team raced in the Ottawa Glandorf Blue/Gold Invitational. The runners faced a day of torrential downpour and a very muddy course. The boys’ team placed sixth out of 16 teams and the girls’ placed seventh out of twelve. Also tonight, the Lady Knights’ volleyball team takes on the Thunderbirds of LCC at 5:30 p.m. This morning, the boys golf team travels to Columbus Grove in the Northwest Conference tournament match.

“We want at least four of our guys to shoot a good round and beat our best team score. Hopefully that will be enough to win,” said senior Ronnie Schumm. Tomorrow, before the football team takes on Spencerville at home at 7 p.m, the CEA will be selling chicken dinners starting at 5 p.m. The meals will include half chicken, applesauce, chips, roll and dessert.

Over the summer, the freshman and sophomore English classes read The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. The book is comprised of vignettes, or brief impressions, of the life of the main character, Esperanza. For the culminating project of their summer reading unit, groups of students were assigned to a certain vignette and given the task of constructing a visual representation of it.

“The project was called the Mango Street Fair. All the vignettes that were made were organized in a fashion that would attempt to recreate the street Esperanza lived on,” said English teacher Jordan Miller. Miller and freshman English teacher Tim Hurst collaborated with Spanish teacher Erin Callow to make the street fair a success.
