Pueblo West Basketball Teams Looking To Go Far In State Tournament
It seems like not too long ago both basketball teams were holding their first open gyms of the season, with nothing but high hopes as motivation. After the first couple of games, though, it became clear that both teams played at a caliber that Pueblo West High school has never seen before. The girls went 13-0 at the beginning of the season with only losses to South and East tarnishing their perfect record. The boys did just as good and according to ColoradoPreps.com, a site that shows the rankings and brackets for all high school teams in Colorado, they are going into the postseason with a record of 20-3. Two of those losses came on their trip to Orlando in December and the other from a crazy game at Lewis Palmer.

Yearbook Purchases Discontinue After End of Month
Anyone wishing to purchase a yearbook must do so before January 29. The 29th is the absolute latest a yearbook can be purchased but students can make payments until the rest of the year if they are not able to pay in full by then.

Sir West Postponement Causes Controversy
The third most anticipated dance of the year, Sir West, has been postponed to Saturday January 29th at 8:00 due to bad weather and student council decorating problems. Mrs. Nogare said “I am very comfortable with this decision,” and expressed the importance of students not being on the road during potentially fatal weather conditions. The change of plans has caused an uproar among student athletes and cheerleaders. There will be a boy’s basketball game at Pueblo West at 5:00 on the same night as the dance. Athletic director Coach Lane states the postponement was “An absolute good idea! If we would have continued with the original plans we would have lost half of a school day but in the end it all comes down to safety.” The Sir West court that consists of Tyler Kersey, Jacob Hill, Kyle Duffee, Skyler Calhoun, Ronny Bates, and Mike Driscoll will be introduced at Read the Rest »
New Week Results Remain Unclear
The four day school week started on August 16, when the first freshmen walked through Pueblo West High’s doors. It all started back in 2009 with a simple suggestion that would later result in the four day week and much controversy. Parents and their kids have been told that this new week will make it easier for students, especially student athletes, with their workload. Although it may be too early to see what kind of results the new week yields, sophomore Sarah Coy said, “I personally like the four-day week. It rocks my socks off because even though the days are longer you can’t even tell. I like it. I like it a lot.” So far it seems many students have nothing but good things to say. Ana Rios, a sophomore this year as well, commented on the week by saying, “It really helped me get organized. With an extra Read the Rest »
