Sunset Update
by Kenna Huck

Just as Winter Break is ending for Sunset High students, basketball games and wrestling tournaments are getting more intense. The break didn’t stop these teams from working hard and practicing for hours on end from eight in the morning.

Fans enjoy the show at the 2009 Cram the Stands basketball game at Sunset against Jesuit High School

On Friday, February 5th at 7 pm, the most popular basketball game of the year, also known as “Cram the Stands,” will be held at Sunset against the Jesuit Crusaders. Sunset students along with alumni and community members come to support their school by cheering on the team. Students also buy t-shirts at school and at the game to support Sunset as well as a charity fundraiser. It’s a good way to show school spirit while giving to those in need.

On Saturday, January 16 the Sunset wrestling team has an all-day tournament at McMinnville High School. Stop by and cheer them on! The next wrestling meet at Sunset will be on Tuesday, January 12 at 6 pm.

If sports aren’t hard enough, Sunset students need to start studying even harder because semester finals are just around the corner. Finals week is January 25-29, and each day students are released at 11:30 so they have more time to study. Students come to school at the regular time, 7:45 in the morning, and then take two tests each day before they’re released. Sunset students work hard and were very thankful for the two-week Winter Break, but now its time for them to focus and study extra hours so they can pass finals and enjoy the new semester.
