21 Sports ... 1 Team ... WE ARE HOBART!
This will be the final BricksCenter of the 2018-2019 school year - it's been a BLAST reporting on BRICKIE SPORTS over the last 10 months! THANK YOU to everyone who contributed with stories (coaches) and pictures (too many sources to share - you know who you are) that helped make this weekly report something we are proud of!
Who knows what kinds of stories will headline the 2019-2020 campaign? All I know is that if I were you - I'd grab a front row seat at HHS events ... don't wait to read about it on Sunday night - BE THERE and EXPERIENCE it!! ... and then read about it on Sunday nights :).
In the meantime ... put some sunscreen on and grab some sunglasses ... it's SUMMERTIME!

Boys Golf
Nathan has successful post-season experience in wrestling as a semi-state qualifier and the way he had been playing over the last month had hopes high for Coach Frankowski. In order to advance from the Regionals to the State Finals, Nathan needed to shoot one of the top 5 low scores for individuals not on an advancing team. As well as Nathan played at the NCC Championships (2nd team All-Conference) and at the Sectional, it just wasn't meant to be on Thursday. Even though his score wasn't what he had hoped for, the EXPERIENCE of playing in that environment with the very best in the northern part of the Indiana can only help him in the future as a golfer. I would imagine it is something that could also help him later in life - to put yourself under that kind of pressure to perform at your best ... to experience success and/or failure and learn how to cope ... learn how to handle adversity and bounce back, that's exactly what high school sports are supposed help kids learn about ... life and how to handle it. Nathan will be better as a golfer for having this experience this spring ... and I would also imagine he will be better as a student-athlete in all he does because he now has one more experience to draw from to help him prepare, compete, celebrate or bounce back when "life happens" in sports.
CONGRATULATIONS NATHAN for representing Hobart so well this spring - we are VERY PROUD of you!

Year In Sports
If anyone remembers, back in the late 1980's, the NBA launched an ad campaign that had celebrities & players stating the following, "NBA action is FANTASTIC!". I'd like to bring that back, but with a twist ... "Brickie action is FANTASTIC!" We could get faculty, student-athletes, fans ... the commercial could be FANTASTIC! Mr. Crouch - we're gonna need some help here :)
It was a GREAT year in sports thanks to the effort, dedication, sacrifice and teamwork illustrated by our student-athletes, coaches and staff. We had moments where we experienced the SWEET TASTE of VICTORY with student-athletes advancing to the state finals in the fall, winter and spring ... a state champion (sophomore Emma Wright) for the first time in girls swimming ... a sectional team champion (Girls Tennis) ... a conference team champion (Wrestling) ... and so many other FANTASTIC things to celebrate. We also had moments where things didn't go our way and we experienced the AGONY of DEFEAT. That's the beauty of sports ... they keep us on the edge of our seats hoping for the TASTE and trying to avoid the AGONY, very much mirroring our daily lives. The key word here is "WE" - WE are all BRICKIES and WE experience these things TOGETHER. WE have 21 sports here at HHS but WE are 1 TEAM - BRICKIES! The more WE can embrace that, the better off WE will all be ... after all, everything is more fun when WE do it TOGETHER.
Believe it or not (Jack Palance voice) ... the 2019-2020 sports season is already underway with our sports working hard this summer to improve and prepare for the future. Next year is going to EXCITING! BE THERE!!
