Making History

  
    It’s that time again. When we go from T-shirts and caps, to sweatshirts and beanies, the cold weather sets in, and the fall of autumn occurs, you know its playoff time. As the Major League Baseball regular season soon comes to a close, the race for the pennant just begins, and the inner fan starts to expose. Nobody wants his or her team to lose, but everybody wants them to win.
    Unfortunately, that cannot happen, and that’s where “Americas Greatest Pastime” comes to play. With every race close right now, experts cannot even predict what the outcome will be.
    The use of performance enhancing drugs in the game has put a slump on the title of MLB, but those true players, still in the game, want to show the fans that they are worthy of their support. This year has already produced more historic pitching performances than any other year in history of baseball. The use of replay has also stirred controversy in the league. Some fans want replay and some fans want it the way it has always been done. Umpires make mistakes, and so do players, but what the fan pays for, is those memorable games.
    With spite in belief in the way the game should be, has caused drama all over the world. So, get those team colors out, try and go see a game, or tune that T.V. to the game. As history has shown before, everybody wants a Cinderella story and every American predicts this year will be one for the ages. It’s PLAYOFF TIME!

Football October 15th 2010

 This week is the Tigers week off - we have no game on October 15th, 2010. Our Tigers have earned time to relax and prepare for the game next week against Tolsia High School, which is another conference game, so the tigers need another big win! The boys have put on quite a show this year and everybody needs to come out and support them. Our fans done an amazing job this year on cheering on the tigers! Everybody is super excited to see the outcome of the tigers at the end of this season. Hopefully, the seniors have a great year and get everything they have worked so hard for this year. Good luck to the Chapmanville Tigers on the rest of their football season! Go Tigers!

Chapmanville Regional High School 2010 Homecoming

This year the Chapmanville Tigers will be playing the Man Hillbillies. Everybody has predicted this to be an exciting game and the Tigers are sure to win. This past week has been our spirit week, which started on Tuesday with Western day. Following that was Decade Day on Wednesday, Superstar Day on Thursday, and Orange & Black day on Friday. We had a wonderful turnout of students participating, especially on Thursday. Although many found it appropriate to dress in Orange & Black on Thursday due to the Battle of the Classes; others created their own Camo Day.

The Battle of the Classes was a competition between the freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior classes. They battled on the front lawn of the school in tricycle races and relay matches amid enthusiastic cheering and chanting from the whole school. After two class periods, the announcment was made that Seniors were the winning class. Some argue that the win was handed to them simply because they are Seniors. Nevertheless, we all had fun and practicied good sportsmanship. On Orange and Black day, the hallways were blinding with school spirit and enthusiasm - partly because of the game and partly because of the early realease.


The early release allowed us to meet up with our friends and watch the parade, which lasted for almost an hour. Many companies participated in the parade to advertise themselves and the band, football team, and cheerleaders were all riding along as well, throwing candy to young onlookers. All of the classes floats were fantastic and were greatly appreciated by the general public. The parade ended with our senior class officers and the homecoming court of both CRHS and CMS.

Pep Club

          The pep club will be at the game Friday night supporting our Tigers for their homecoming game against rivalry, Man Hillbillies.  They will be screaming on the Tigers to a 6-1 victory.  The pep club has done an amazing job so far supporting our boys.  They dress up and even paint up for games.  They’re what keep our boys pumped up and never wanting to quit.  We love the support from our pep club and they have definitely done their job. I can’t wait to see them support our boys Friday night for a Hillbilly beat down.

Halloween Dance

The Halloween dance is the most fun out of all the dances in my opinion. You get to dress up, dance, and hang out with your friends. The Dance is a privilege and we need to respect our teachers and principle for letting us have a dance were we get to dress up like crazy Cartoons and Characters from movies, myths, and TV shows. We need to be respectful about the dress code and not show anything that doesn't need to be shown.

The Halloween dance will be held on October 23. 2010 @ Chapmanville High School from 7-11.
