The Mystic Valley Regional Charter School girls basketball team has begun the year with a great start. They are only three games into the season, and junior shooting-guard Menel Lamadzema scored the 1,000th point of her career. This makes her the youngest person in MV history to achieve the four digit point total.

Megan Foley (Class of '16) holds the current record for most points scored in a career at MV with 1,514. Some projections for the future show Menel reaching 2,000 points, which is an accomplishment that has never been achieved in school history.

A juggling act: Mei investigates winter sports' players' midterm schedules

By: Jeffrey Mei

Swimmers and basketball players....I can’t believe I have to write about them...just kidding! Aside from the fact that swimming and basketball are decidedly not my cup of tea, they do have one other thing in common. They’re both winter sports at Mystic Valley. Oh yeah, and MV's swimming and basketball teams are both historically REALLY GOOD. In school, there are two things we dread about winter each year: cold rooms and midyear exams.

Because of my recent involvement in winter sports, I have always wondered how winter athletes prepare for the third most important tests they’ll take in high school (behind MCAS and SAT). I talked with a number of winter athletes and their three coaches: Mr. Dan for Varsity Swimming, Mr. Cantwell for Varsity Girl’s Basketball, and Professor Tony Ferullo of Suffolk University for Varsity Boy’s Basketball.

After watching all three presidential debates, I felt as if I could see the personalities/morals of the candidate's’ supporters. Both candidates (Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump) also revealed their true colors during the debates, and affected opinions that many people had about the candidates’ characters. An iconic example of this would be Kenneth Bone, who made his debut in the second presidential debate as one of the undecided voters (who just also happened to look like a character from Toy Story 2). Bone mentioned in a phone interview that he was leaning towards Trump at first, but after participating in the debate, Hillary “really impressed me with her composure and some of her answers” and that he was “a little let down” by Trump’s personal attacks towards Hillary.
