3DI Part 1: The Beginning

3DI Part 1: The Beginning

Clubs & Orgs, News
By: Alex Jenkins Before COVID hit, students were allowed to freely play games on the desktop computers in tech teacher Sonja Coble’s classroom. Here is how it worked: A student (usually junior/senior HS student) would host the game server on their computer. Then that student would shout out the server’s ip address for the other students to connect to that server and play. (And sometimes Coble would join in as well!) The games normally played were Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, and very rarely Counter-Strike: Source. “I was glad we started these clubs as they give students another place…

Many of us may have heard the words ‘portfolio’ and ‘defense’ thrown around, but what are our teachers really talking about when they bring these topics up? A senior portfolio typically includes examples of high-quality schoolwork, athletic proficiency, dramatic or public performances, advanced science projects, and community service. A portfolio is meant to be a collection of your “best hits” from high school, and it’s completely acceptable to show off a bit because you’ll be…

by Jozlyn Bew It’s official, the Trimble Tomcats’s record has been broken by Federal Hocking’s own basketball team in a gripping buzzer beater! In front of a crowd full of eager Fed Hock students, Andre Crockwell made the winning half-court shot. It was certainly a satisfying win after our last game, in which we lost by just one point.

And the victory continues for the Lancer Boys’ Basketball, as they’ve claimed a sectional win! Our team is certainly doing us proud,…
