Congratulations to the Boys hockey teams on their two wins on Tuesday night in Red Wing. The JV started off the night with an 8-0 victory. Leading the charge for the Spartans were Tucker Witham with 4 goals and Jordan Hein with the Shutout.  The Varsity then took to the ice and defeated the Wingers 5-4 in OT. Scoring their first career goals for the Spartans were Sam Fischer and Andrew Jeffers. Noah Roitman scored twice and the OT winner came from Cooper Bollmann . Solid goaltending by Desmond Duggan including stopping a penalty shot in the third period. Great job guys!

The Simley Alpine Ski Team competed yesterday in the Section 4 Race at Wild Mountain in Taylors Falls, MN.  Both the Boy's and Girl's team had a good race with the boy's finishing 11th overall and the girl's taking 12th place overall.  The boy's were led by Tommy Arends (35th place out of 120 boy's) and the girl's were led by Sarah Anaya (12th place out of 120 girls).  Sarah's high finish at Sectionals qualified her to represent Simley at the State Meet next Wednesday at Giants Ridge in Biwabik, MN.

The medallion is what you seek

Look where the sun sets

Clue #2 (Tuesday a.m.)

Near displays of art,

And translucent light

Lies something of merit

That is larger than life

Clue #3 (Wednesday a.m.)

This year, will it be a panther, or a star?

We’ll soon find out, it’s not that far.

The medallion that you must find

Is hidden away, not in front, but behind.

Clue #4 (Thursday a.m.)

Lights, camera, action.

Soon, the 91st awards show will glorify

the gold award, which can be found in a classroom

where the teacher is not a science guy,

but can teach you the difference between lay and lie.
