Payne reflects on being the “baby” of the team
By: Claire Wasem
NORTHRIDGE- Megan Payne (‘20), the youngest full-time varsity player on this past season’s varsity girls basketball team, says she is sad to see the season come to an end. Here, the sophomore explains the pressures, feelings, and communication that she experiences playing with older athletes.
Payne is not only one of the youngest students in the sophomore class itself, she is also one of only three sophomores that saw varsity playing time over the winter. The rest of the team consists of five juniors and two seniors.
“They have included me,” Payne reveals. “All the seniors are very nice and supportive, and I love having the opportunity to play with and get to know them”. She has grown closer to one of the seniors specifically, Dayna Martin. ¨Dayna has a great personality,” Payne says. “She's someone I love to be around.¨
Payne continues by saying, ¨If I were on the JV team, I don't think I could have developed as good of friendships with the people on the varsity team.¨
Tryouts for the team were at the end of October, but Payne was not pulled up to varsity until the middle of November. She said she was very excited when she found out she would be playing on the varsity team. “It was exciting because it showed me that all my hard work is paying off” she says.
Though she was very excited, she also experienced concerns when she got the news: “I was hesitant because I wouldn’t be playing with my friends, but then I think ahead about next year and will have had experience at the varsity level” Payne says.
Shelby Yorde, a sophomore who also played some varsity, said, ¨I'm extremely proud of Megan for making the varsity team, but I do miss playing with her.¨
Basketball is not the only sport Megan plays. She is also active in softball, tennis, and golf. Megan reveals that, despite her loving basketball, it is actually not her favorite sport.
“Softball is my favorite,” she admits. “I put most of my time into basketball during basketball season, but the rest of the year I put most of my time into softball.”

Memorable Concert Mishaps
By: Zoey Stout
NORTHRIDGE-Summer is around the corner, which means many could be spending their summer at music festivals, concerts, etc. Concerts can be very enjoyable experiences, but what about the experiences that don’t go so well or are so funny that you remember them for a lifetime, anyway … maybe even more than the music?
I have been to a handful of concerts in my lifetime. The first concert I attended was more of heavy rock music that featured these bands: Motionless in White, Chidos, Bring Me the Horizon, and A Day to Remember. It was an outdoor concert which feature a pit and a lawn. Throughout the concert, there was a couple fighting openly, apparently because the girlfriend threw her drink at the guy. Later that night, a guy kept backing up into me and almost fell backwards on me. After experiencing many concerts with lots of different experiences that my friends and I laugh about later, I wondered about other students’ concert stories.
Brianna Jackson (‘17), who has been at several concerts throughout her life, has experienced some not-so-safe scenarios. A couple of years ago, Jackson went to the rock festival called Warped Tour in Cuyahoga Falls. For those who haven’t been to Warped Tour, it is a big rock festival where many bands come to play and where you can meet the band members and see multiple shows.. Jackson went to one of her favorite bands called Attila. This band was known for heavy, intense shows where Jackson decided to crowd surf during their show. While she was crowd surfing, the crowd gradually got more intense, which sent Jackson flying into the air and ultimately resulted in her being thrown on the ground. When you’re not careful, seeing one of your favorite bands can result in getting an injury even before the autograph.
McKenzee Reese (‘19), a regular concert goer, also has had some crazy experiences. Similar to Jackson (‘17), Reese also went to a big concert festival known as Rock on the Range. Last year, Reese was in the Wall of Death during a show. Walls of Death are when the crowd splits into two and runs full force at each other and collide. When they collide, a bunch of punches, throwing of things, and kicks occur. Only, McKenzee fell down. When McKenzee fell, she thought she was going to get trampled, but then a guy picked her up out of the Wall of Death.
Lastly for crazy stories is Nick Del Tedesco (‘17). Del Tedesco was accompanied by three other friends one night at a concert in downtown Columbus to watch the band Beartooth. During the show, Del Tedesco and friends were in the pit, which is a big hole where everyone is crowded together … also where most of the moshpits and Walls of Death happen. Del Tedesco went into the moshpit where he said that he and his brother, Vinny, had a faceoff during the moshpit. During the moshpit there was a guy who kept shoving this other person to the ground who was trying to get up and was bleeding. Del Tedesco said that he went up and punched the guy to get him off of the other person on the ground, which resulted in a nosebleed. He said his favorite part was crowd surfing but not when he fell really hard and landed on his back. However, he said that the concert was amazing.
In the end, attending a concert is often about more than the band itself … and so are the memories.

Making a healthy swap
By: Sydney Miller
NORTHRIDGE- Mr. Scott, the Health and Physical Education teacher, as well as the basketball coach - you know, that super-tall teacher - is more than just the teacher who has a kitchen in his room.
If you’ve had Scott as a teacher before, you know that he takes time to teach people about what to put into their bodies. When asked about why he cares so much about what teens put into their bodies, he responded with, “Teens don’t eat as many fruits and vegetables so they’re not getting enough vitamins that are important,” especially since they’re growing. This is also a time in everyone's lives that most people form their lifelong eating habits.
So, even if it involves spending a little bit more money for the kids who can get these things otherwise, he doesn’t mind.
Scott has taken to switching food out for students in the school: an apple for a Little Debbie, for example. If kids don’t have a lunch or are hungry, then they can come to Scott’s classroom and get some fruits or healthier options. Scott doesn’t only switch food, but he also is willing to give someone a water so that they stay hydrated throughout the day.
It all started when Alexis Henry (‘18) came into his room with a cake of some sort and asked Scott if he had anything healthier instead. At that moment Scott didn’t intend this situation to get any bigger than this one time Henry came into his classroom. It quickly reached the point where people that are using his room who have not brought anything to eat before their games are allowed to have some food that he has stored in his room, and people will even come into his gym and ask for something to eat. When a student asks for food, or is switching the food with another student, he trusts the student to walk into his room and grab a piece of food; if they’re switching, they place the food that they don’t want on his desk.
When the food is switched, he takes the food the student doesn’t want and offers them to one of his students. If none of his students want the food, he will put it in the teachers lounge for anyone who wants it. If worst comes to worst, he takes the food and has to throw it away, especially if it’s something that can spoil ... if it isn’t spoiled already. Scott says that he won’t turn down any food if you want to switch out the food for healthy options.
Scott wants people who take food from his room to know that the food has been given. He wants them to be kind and appreciate it, and hope that one day they’ll take that one memory and pass it on when they’re older. Scott also wants them to form those healthy eating habits that are important to form now because it’s the time it starts to become a habit.
One student, who wishes to remain anonymous, has been switching food with Scott for a couple months. That student says it would be a good idea that schools around the state, especially ones that are in poorer cities, would do something like this instead of just having a reduced lunch.

Northridge’s hidden talents
By: Katelyn Darby
NORTHRIDGE- After the cancellation of the talent show due to lack of volunteers willing to showcase their talents on stage, you may be wondering if there are any talented students here at Northridge. While there may not be enough people willing to fill up the slots for the talent show, there are many students with strange talents that might not be suitable to present at the show:
Mich-ele Ferry (‘18) and Aiden Cupp (‘20) both have a special talent for speaking with different accents. Cupp first learned of his talent for accents when he played the part of Lumiere in his eighth grade play of Beauty and the Beast. He then found that he could form Southern, French, Scottish, Irish, Chinese and Hawaiian dialects to make jokes for his friends. “It's a great way to make a laugh here and there and entertain people. Without this talent, most of my jokes would not be funny,” he says. Ferry learned of her talent when she moved from Tennessee to Ohio, and the switch from a southern accent to an Ohioan accent made her realize she could easily bend her voice into many different accents, including Irish, English, French, Australian and Southern. Ferry also uses her talent for plays, but says, “One of the best things about accents is tricking strangers into thinking you're from a different country.”
Stephen Padilla (‘18) is the arm wrestling champ of Northridge. Padilla first learned of his talent in middle school while at a cookout when a family friend took out a table specially designed for arm wrestling. After practicing with his brothers, he found out that he was good at arm wrestling. Padilla has used his technique to beat many students at Northridge without failing, surprising people with his abilities to win against some of the strongest people in the school. He says, “People will often underestimate me greatly because I'm tall and skinny, but the only reason I win is because of technique.”
Addie VanKirk (‘18) found at a young age that she has the unique talent of whistling while her tongue is rolled. While flipping her tongue back and into a roll and blowing out air, she is able to make a steady whistle. “I’ve never met anyone other than my brother who can do it,” she says, leaving people to assume this talent is strictly genetic in nature.

Senior Favorites 2017
By: Mackenzie Holder
As the 2016-2017 school year is coming to a close, there are definitely things this year’s graduating seniors are looking forward to (besides Graduation). One of those things is picking senior favorites!
The Yearbook staff takes time to pick categories, and the senior class will decide - via Google Forms - which of their classmates best fits into those categories.
Junior yearbook staff member Sydney Miller states, “ We take categories from previous years like Most Attractive, and we will make some up and pick the ones that we like and choose those to then be in the Yearbook.” Picking these categories is not easy, Miller stated. “We can never all agree on categories so sometimes we have to compromise.”
This year’s senior class has many candidates for each and every category, which is what Yearbook members say makes this class special. Some students were even going the extra mile by tweeting out the things they wanted to be selected for.
Some of the previous categories used again this year consisted of Most Attractive, Most Athletic, Most likely to become President, Best dressed, etc. Some of the categories that were newly added are Most likely to be tweeting and Most Changed. Students patiently wait until the day that they hear the votes are in and the winners will be announced. For some students this will make or break their ego.
This year's winners are:
Most Likely Tweeting: Keith Sarchenko and Emmy Adams
Best Smile: Alex Yebaile and Veronica Reese
Should have been a couple: Austin White and Mckenna Kitchen
Class Sweethearts: Ellaina McConnell and Logan Garee
Best Car: Jordan Bates and Sydney Menix
Best Dressed: Cade Remy and Rachael Harmon
Most Artistic: Max Berry and Sally Priest
Best Eyes: Austin Chambers and Ellaina McConnell
Best Hair: Tyler Rosshirt and Olivia Garrabrant
Most Changed: Alexis Humes and Hunter Corbin
Most Likely To Be President: Alex Healey and Hayley Adkins
Best Laugh: Gunner Absten and Karson Sesser
Most Athletic: Daniel Hatfield and Jenna DeNune
Class Clown: Trevor Roach and Ashley Cantrell
Best Friends: Jordan Bates and Cole Wilson/Sydney Britton and Kristen Rollins/Kaycee Campbell and Olivia Garrabrant
Most Attractive: Chris George and Emily Esty.
