Winter Olympics
The Winter Olympics is taking place this month in Russia. The games started Thursday Feb. 6 and will end Sunday Feb. 23. Lets be honest though, the Olympics is not the most entertaining thing to watch, but there are ways to make it fun! Mr. Weyer even started a fantasy league for the olympics! Why not have a group of friends over and watch some of it. Just support Team USA in their quest for the gold. If you need still need something a little more fun check out some of the articles below that have some interesting things to fill your time
News N' Stuff
The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead is back in full swing and it continues to bring amazing entertainment for the whole family (unless your family is scared of flesh eating monsters). This is The Walking Dead's fourth season on AMC and in my opinion the best season so far. If you are interested in becoming apart of the Walking Dead community but you are behind on episodes don't worry! The first 3 seasons are on Netflix and if you don't have Netflix then make the Investment! It is very very worth the $8 a month.
Homecoming
Basketball Home Coming is tomorrow (Friday Feb. 21) at the Brian Taylor Sports Arena and it will be followed by the hall of fame inductees of 2014. The representatives for the freshman are Nono Higuchi and Chandler Lacy. Representing the sophomores are Halee Lamb and Jacob Hammack. Representing the juniors are Taylor Carver and Trent Rainey. The senior queen candidates are Morgan Haaff, Emily Olberding, Gabrielle Joines, and Vanessa Romo. The senior king candidates are Grant Sanders, Dylan Ingle, Zach Flamion, and Dakota Braunecker. Be sure to stop by and check out who the king and queen will be and remember that the theme for the game is Red, White, and Crazy.
Flappy Bird is Out
The creator must have got tired of not being able to beat his high score so he raged and decided to take it off app stores. Although he was making about $50,000 a day from ads, he decided he didn't want to deal with it. Do you think it was a good idea? I mean I feel like it is a dying trend anyway because no one can beat some of their friends high scores. If you didn't get a chance to, go play Ironpants because that is the real challenge. I mean if you just don't want the app anymore, try selling your phone.
