Boys tennis team defeats O’Gorman Knights 5-4

By Amy Walker

Warrior varsity boys tennis team mem-bers are in the middle of the hardest part of their regular season, as they

defeated last year’s state runner-up O’Gorman 5-4 Tuesday afternoon and face last year’s defending state champion Lincoln Monday at WHS.

In Tuesday’s single matches, senior Elliot Hartwig, Edison seventh grader Davis Shafer and senior Nic Gregg took home victories for the Warriors.

Gregg said it was a tough, but satisfying, vic-tory for the Warriors.

“The team, overall, played well,” Gregg said. “Hopefully, we can keep improving and be ready

to face the Patriots Monday.”Sophomore Tory Shafer and senior Ryan

Morgans also won their doubles match along with Gregg and Davis Shafer.

Coach Jillian Hurley said she is very pleased with the team’s performance Tuesday afternoon.

“It was definitely a team effort, it was not one person that won the match for us, it was every person’s effort that contributed to our win,” Hurley said. “I think that in order to keep the momentum rolling we need to continue to work hard at practice and recognize that every team will pose a challenge, and we need to push ourselves to play our best tennis. It is my hope that we continue to play at this level and find success.”

Warrior baseball teams earn four wins

Varsity next in action as they host Lincoln Monday

By Emily VanBockernThe varsity baseball team

defeated the Huron Tigers 10-9 Tuesday at Harmodon Park to improve to 2-3 on the season.

Winning pitcher for the team was senior Nolan Behr.

The game was a battle for the Warriors—they were down 4-0, then tied it up 4-4, got down again 8-4, tied it up again 8-8, then got up 9-8. The Tigers once again tied it 9-9, but then the Warriors came back with a 10-9 win on a walk-off single by senior

Austin Kubik. Kubik said it was a tough

game for WHS. “Our team fought hard the

whole game,” Kubik said. “We were able to come out on top.”

The two big plays of the game were Kubik’s walk-off single and junior Brandon Ford’s pinch-hit bases loaded triple in which he also scored on an error. That play tied the game up at 8.

In JV action, the Warrior boys defeated Huron 10-2 Tuesday.

The freshman/sopho-

more team was also in action Tuesday as they traveled to Harrisburg and also won two games—the first 8-4 and the second 4-1.

Coach Chad Barman was pleased with the outcomes on Tuesday night.

“It’s always a great night when the program can go 4-0,” Barman enthused.

The freshman/sophomore team plays Lincoln at 5 p.m. today at Harmodon. The JV team is also in action at 5 p.m. today vs. Brandon Valley in Valley Springs.

Make a list to make the most of summer

There are now only about two months remaining until summer vacation, and with summer vacation comes free-dom, hanging out with friends all day, having fun in the sun and, of course, summer bucket lists.

Everyone should have their own bucket list, whether it is just milling about in their head or plastered across their bedroom wall. And for those who haven’t had the chance to create one yet, you still have time!

Here are some tips to creating your perfect 2017 Summer Bucket List!

It is always good to start off small with ideas, like trying new food or attend-ing your favorite

team’s game. Everyone can have the generic ideas of bon-fires or water balloon fights, but don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone these next couple of months.

Don’t get too crazy like, “Climb Mount Everest” or “Go deep sea diving,” but be open to out-of-the-blue ideas like road tripping with friends to different states or going to your favorite artist’s concert.

After you have created your own personalized list, put it somewhere where you will always see it and be reminded of your goals this summer.

Last but not least, make the most out of your sum-mer—whether or not you accomplish your bucket list. Summer is the time to be free of pesky homework assign-ments and long school days, not to be held hostage to some list. So, Warriors, let loose and enjoy the splendid South Dakota weather this summer!

Senior Maham Shah will see you at the pool this summer!

SAN DIEGO — When it comes to cybersecurity, Americans recognize the need for strong passwords and know that public Wi-Fi hotspots aren’t necessar-ily safe for online bank-ing or e-commerce.

But U.S. adults are not as good at recogniz-ing email “phishing” schemes or determining if the website where they’re entering credit card information is encrypted.

That’s according to a new Pew Research Center survey titled “What the Public Knows about Cybersecurity.” It tallied responses from 1,055 adults last year about their understanding of concepts important to online safety and privacy.

The results were mixed, highlighting that public awareness of online security measures remains a potential weak link in thwarting cyberthreats.

“It is probably our No. 1 concern and No. 1 vulnerability,” said Retired Rear Adm. Ken Slaght, head of the San Diego Cyber Center of Excellence, a trade group for the region’s cybersecurity industry. “These attackers keep upping their game. It has gone well beyond the jumbled, everything misspelled email.”

Digital security firm Gemalto recently said that 1,792 data breaches occurred worldwide in 2016, with 1.4 billion digital records compro-mised — up 86 percent from the prior year.
