Hawks Baseball- Moorefield took South Harrison twice to advance to a positive record. They came out very

strong and ready to play even during the severe weather conditions. The first nine hitters all had a few hits

during each game. Dakota Jarrett, starting pitcher for the Hawks threw a gem, but just did not have the defense

behind him. Brock Herrod went 1-2, while Bo Hammond also finished 1-3. The Hawks are now 6-14 on the

season. They played Tygart's Valley Monday evening at 6:00.

Lady Hawks Softball- South Harrison Lady Hawks went 2-3 over the weekend in the 2017 Bob Riggleman

tournament in Moorefield, WV. Senior Ciara Radcliff said “the competition was great down there. We played a

lot of great teams we have never played before so it was good to see some new opponents, going into the games

not knowing what to expect." The players were relatively pleased with their performances. Sydney Lipscomb

threw a great few games and Kylie Saltis threw a game and did well. The Lady Hawks opened back up this

week with Clay Battelle on Monday evening.

Hawks Track & Field- the Hawks Track and Field athletes traveled to Bridgeport on Saturday morning to

enter the Harry Green Invitational event. Freddy Canary won all events with some new record breaks. In the

time of 24.87a, and Jeffrey Wright placed 19th in the 400 with a time of 57.31. Senior Jeffrey Wright said “This

was one of the greatest organized events I’ve ever ran in, tons of competition, and a lot of fans, what more could

you ask for?” The Hawks Track and Field will have another meet this coming week and praepare for some spots

at the state track competition in May.

Successful 2017 Class Tournaments at SHHS

By Logan Peck

The Annual South Harrison High School class tournaments took place on Mar. 29, 31, and Apr. 6 & 7.

The four grade levels squared off to see which could take home the title. Mrs. Fragmin was

interviewed on the topic. “I thought that the freshman class was very involved and enthusiastic;

overall there was good participation from everyone. The cheer- off was very intense, and the

competition may have been higher than in recent memory.” She mentioned some of the surprising

outcomes of the events to be that the underclassmen were able to find ways to beat those who were

more experienced in the process, and also that the new games for this year went very well, and were a

lot of fun to watch. When asked on how it was to organize the event she said “It’s a little bit chaotic,

but really the student council officers take care of most of the work; I just make sure the schedule they

make is ran on time. They make my job pretty easy.”

The Surfin' Seniors waved high school goodbye but not before they took home the title of 2017 Class

Tournament Champions. They scored 27 points and beat second place, the sophomores, by 8 points

followed by the juniors, and in fourth was the freshman. The seniors won girls basketball, volleyball,

domino effect, elephant march, gone shopping, tortilla head, the cheer off, and the penny wars.

The purpose behind class tournaments is to “promote school spirit, class competition, overall

involvement, and it's a great memory for high school students. You see kids coming back for them all

the time,” Fragmin said. Some pointers she gives us to help our chances in years ahead is to learn the

rules to penny wars and minute to win it games, and if attendance continues to be a part of the system

be here every day.

Greenhouse 1 and now Greenhouse 2 By: Logan Heck

South Harrison High school is opening another greenhouse building beside the first one. "The building

should be going up by the end of the 2017 school year and be operating during the start of the 2018

school year," Knopp said. “The school has already hired a company to put up the building and we will

have some students install the hydroponics of the building,” Tennant said. He also added that there will

be two classes that use the new greenhouse- horticulture and vegetable production.
