Football and Volleyball added to VHS sports programThe beginning of the 2007-2008 school

year brought new excitement to Vienna. Forthe first time in 75 years VHS is home theVHS Eagles football team and the first evervolleyball team.

VHS has not had a football team since1932. Thanks to the commitment and visionof our superintendent, Dr. Marleis Trover, aswell as the involvement of the community andwillingness of the students, Vienna HighSchool has now made that dream come true.

Mike Rude was called upon to be the newfootball coach earlier this spring. A formercoach at Johnston City, this will be his 39thyear of coaching.

The fall season started with a Saturdaygame at Massac County on August 25. TheEagles QB Colten Krelo ran 70 yards to scorea touchdown on the first play of the game, tostart the season with a BANG! Although theEagles lost 20-14, the crowd and communitywere pleasantly surprised, since the Eagles led14-6 at halftime.

All summer, for about three hours a day,the football team practiced hard with the newequipment and coach. “We are improvingeveryday we step on the practice field,” saidCoach Rude.

In their second game, the Eagles traveledto Marion and defeated the Wildcats 42-14,to win the first football game in 75 years.

To be eligible to play football, you haveto be a freshman or sophomore student atVHS. Though some of the upperclass studentsmay feel that they missed out on theopportunity to play, they can still cheer on theteam.

Volleyball is the second sport that has beenadded to the VHS athletic program this year.Chris Holubner is ecstatic about coaching thefirst-ever VHS volleyball team. CoachHolhubner described his experience with theteam as “very challenging and rewarding.”

The Lady Eagles volleyball team startedlate last spring with practices and open-gymsto get ready for the coming fall season. Allhigh school girls, including incomingfreshman, were encouraged to come and tryoutfor the new sport.

In June, the team traveled to Herrin tocompete against surrounding area schools.Having this practice early on prepared the girlsfor the competition when the season started.

Though the team is young andinexperienced, Coach Holhubner has a brightoutlook for winning championships. “Maybein a few years we can be Conference champs,but right now we are all learning,” he stated.With the help of assistant coach Izetta Wiggs,Coach Holubner and the Lady Eagles plan tohave a very successful future.

New principal(continued from page 1)

VHS basketball stand-out Brett Thomp-son has verbally committed to Saint LouisUniversity to pursue his education and playcollege basketball. The 7 footer has receiveda full-ride athletic scholarship to play for theBillikens.

Brett was being recruited by many presti-gious schools in addition to SLU, includingPurdue, Notre Dame, University of Illinois,Iowa State, Michigan State, University ofCalifornia at Berkley, and many others.

Brett toured the SLU campus severaltimes before making his final decision. “I likehow the campus is set up all the classes andapartments are in close proximity of eachother, the scenery is magnificent: There is awater fountain in the middle of campus thateveryone gathers around to study and chat witheach other.” He also likes it because it’s closeenough for his loved ones to come watch himplay, but it’s far enough that he’s out of South-ern Illinois.

The SLU coaches, Rick Majerus and Por-ter Moser, also weighed heavily into Brett’scollege pick. These coaches have been verysuccessful in helping advance their collegeplayers into the NBA.

Brett plans to major in Health Mainte-nance Information at SLU.

The National signing date is November,14 and Brett will offically sign sometime af-ter that. The SLU coach, Rick Majerus hassent 15 previous athletes to the NBA.
