Oh What a night!
Last Friday the Bobcats faced our rivals, the Piggott Mohawks, in one of the most exciting nights we’ve had in the past two years. Friday was basketball homecoming; the girls were beautiful, elegant, and represented Corning in style. It was wonderful to see the gym filled with spirited fans again! Anyone who follows sports knows the crowd makes a difference in close ballgames. Those of you my age know how important the crowds were to the Razorbacks in Barnhill and Bud Walton Arena in the 90s. Barnhill was one of the most feared basketball facilities in the nation because of the ferocity of the crowd. That was the atmosphere Friday night in Bobcat Gymnasium and it was all due to our Woo Crew! If you were lucky enough to be in the gym you know how loud our Woo Crew was. From the tip off of the junior boys’ game to the final buzzer of the senior boys’ game, the Woo Crew was wildly cheering them on to victory. I was told by a fan that they could hear our Woo Crew when they got out of their car in the parking lot. I am so proud of our students and fans for supporting our teams. It feels good to be able to leave the gym with my heart full of Bobcat Pride! We don’t have many games left in the season so it would be wonderful to see our fans support our teams in the remaining home games and in our district tournaments! Thank you Woo Crew for bringing back the Bobcat Spirit!
It’s okay if your class is sometimes boring
As a first year teacher, my primary goal was to make my students happy. To do so, I tried to be awesome… a lot. Be funny. Have intricate handshakes with six different students. Hold poetry slams at the local coffee shops for my English classes. Teach entire classes with a Scottish accent. Play Eminem Spotify on the sound system while students were working (When I do this nowadays, most students have never heard of Eminem).
