SUPER BOWL LII SUSPECTS?

So far this season, the Eagles have

been on the best winning streak

in the NFL. And hopefully it stays

that way! In fact, the last time

they went 10-1 was 2004. Of

course, Carson Wentz has been a

huge part in this. Garrette Blount

has helped the Eagles

tremendously this season too.

Many players like Agholor and

Jeffery have improved, thankfully.

Our defense is also the best it’s

been in a long time. Now, back to

Wentz. If it weren’t for his perfect

throws and his running back like

abilities, we definitely wouldn’t be

where we are right now. So, is it

enough to get the Eagles into the

Super Bowl? In my opinion, yes.

As long as they stay as one team

and work together, they could

even win. LET’S GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!

by Nicolas Sheen Project Loon is an

Alphabet “moonshot”

St. Bernadette

Field Hockey by Bridie McCann, Bridget

Grazel, and Lizzy Hennessy

Over the past few months, the St.

Bernadette field hockey team has

had an extraordinary season. We

worked hard, but still found time

to have lots of fun, with our

teammates, and coach, Sierra.

Before every game, we said a

prayer and cheer dedicated to

our good friend Sydney. In

addition, we wore orange socks

and ribbons in support of her and

her fight against cancer. We won

many games, and eventually

made it to the playoffs. It’s been

years since the field hockey team

has gone this far.

We worked very hard, but it all

paid off when we did something

very special, making it to the

championship! On the day of the

championship, we were both

excited and nervous, and made

sure not to eat too much. The

team we played was St. Pius, to

whom we lost earlier in the

season. But the chip wasn’t out

of our reach, because we

previously beat them in the

championship of the Bonner

Prendie field hockey tournament.

The Region 25 Championship was

very competitive. Sadly, we lost

in the end by two points, but we

still had a phenomenal season,

better than which we had in

previous years. It was a truly

great experience, and we thank

all of the people that supported

us through the season.
