Lady Cyclones beat up on Bulldogs
On Friday the 27th, Cyclone and Bulldog fans filled Jerry Kersey Gymnasium. The Lady Cyclones put on an outstanding show, the final score being 83-9. Unlike the past couple of games, the Lady Cyclones seemed to be firing on all cylinders. Senior guard, Dee Arrieta, hit a few threes throughout the course of the game and Haley Simental added a couple as well. The team’s inside game didn’t look bad either as every post on the roster managed to score. For the first time in a while it seemed that on both sides of the floor, the Lady Cyclones were intense, getting steal after steal and converting on the fastbreak. By the end of the first half the Cyclones had scored 53 and kept the Bulldogs scoreless. The second half started off much as the same as the first quarter with the Cyclones making even more of a lead, ending the game with an outstanding score of Cyclones 83 Bulldogs Read the Rest »
Leaving School On a New Road
At the end of the school day at Pueblo West High School, getting out of the parking lot or drop off loop can be quite the wait. With only two ways to exit the school, from the dirt parking lot and the main parking lot, traffic can get pretty tied up on Capistrano. The Pueblo West Metro District noticed most cars leaving the school turn left. PWMD decided it was in everyone’s best interest to build new entrance and exit points to the school. A new road will be built off of Spaulding and lead to the high school. This will allow students, parents, and staff to enter and leave the school a little faster. “The new road should be started around the time school gets out, so we do not interrupt anything. And it should hopefully be completed in the fall of the next school year,” Rick Morgan of Read the Rest »

Pueblo West High School recently got a new staff member named Chris Slobodnik. Slobodnik is 35 and teaches U.S. History, World History, and Government History. Not only is Slobodnik a teacher, but he is also a football coach for Pueblo West High. Slobodnik taught at the Tech Academy for twelve years prior to Pueblo West High. He says, “I enjoyed working at the Tech Academy and there was nothing that I disliked about it, but I was just ready for a change.” Slobodnik’s rules for his class are to pay attention and to follow directions. He said ”My favorite thing about teaching is interacting with the students and building good relationships with them.” He believes that the hardest part of teaching is to give each individual student enough time and help. Slobodnik has been coaching football for 15 years. He has coached football and basketball at Pleasant View Middle School and basketball at Roncalli Middle Read the Rest »
Suspicious Facebook requests circulating through PWHS
In the past two weeks, many Pueblo West High students have been receiving friend requests from Allison Hartnett, Luke McCall, Sophie Hartnett, Kate Crawford and Jake Crawford. While it is not certain who is behind these Facebook pages, it has been speculated that these are false accounts. Luke McCall’s birthday is listed as May 25, 1990. That leaves him at twenty years old and with a degree from Yale University. Furthermore, every person’s high school is listed as Yale High School and each of them happen to have degrees from Yale. While this could be a possibility, the chances of legitimacy are slim. They all claim to work at “Mark Hartnett’s Office.” His law firm does in fact exist but it does seem to be a coincidence that all five of these people work there. Luke and Allison Hartnett got married two weeks ago on October 31, 2011 which is Read the Rest »
