The Cedar Grove-Belgium Rockets 2009 seasons are more than outstanding. The football team ended the regular season with a 9-0 record and will playing Oostburg in their second playoff game on Saturday, October 31st at 4:00 p.m. Their first playoff game was on Tuesday against Kenosha St. Joseph. The game ended with a score of 42-7, with the Rockets once again taking another victory. According to Wayne Paulus, who plays both defensive end and offensive guard, “Our game was slow at first, but we had a great second half.” Spencer Jacque led the team in rushing yards with a total of 251 yards. Time and again, the Rockets marched onto the field ready to play any team that came their way. With a total number of 384 points this season, the Rockets allowed their competition to score only 51 points. Cedar Grove- Belgium Rockets ended up with second seed this year, and we’re all hoping for a victory against Oostburg this Saturday!
Football is not the only sport that the Rockets are currently thriving in—both the girls and boys cross country teams are going to state this Saturday. Having won sectionals, we expect the team to do extremely well at state. The meets, which take place between 11:00 (girls) and 1:00 (boys) are being held at Wisconsin Rapids.
Good luck, Rockets! We wish you the best!

Art Club 2009
By: Brenden Lopez
Art Club
The first art club meeting for this year was on September 10th where kids met with Mr. Urness after school in the art room. Usually the meetings are every Thursday after school, and they either talk about things coming up or they have work days where they can come in and work on any projects they need to finish. The Art Club does various activities during the year like ice carving or collecting trash to recycle into paper. They also sell entertainment books at the beginning of the year, which is a book full of coupons from area businesses. At the first meeting for Art Club, students elected the president, vice president, treasurer, and secretary. This year’s officers are Jenny Barrette as President, Stephanie Norman as Vice President, Eva Lee as Treasurer, and Grace Nicora as Secretary. Art Club has also selected a design for this year’s t-shirts and hoodies. The design, created by Grace Nicora, consists of a sapphire background with white writing, and the hoodie will be purple with white writing. If anyone is interested in purchasing these items, the t-shirts are ten dollars, the hoodies are twenty dollars, and there is a sign up sheet available in the Art room.

Bada Bing Student of the Month
by Erika Meinen
Each month, the high school teachers nominate a student to be the Bada Bing Student of the Month. The student that gets picked is usually someone who does very well in academics, and this year the teachers nominated sophomore Montanna Zajac, the daughter of Corinne and Dean Zajac.
Not only does Montanna succeed academically, but she also participates in student council and is involved in sports almost all year long. She plays fast pitch and softball and runs cross country. Some of her hobbies include running, drawing, and basically anything else that has to do with outdoors. Since she likes drawing, she also joined the school’s art club. The art club helps decorate the school by doing things such as painting the ceiling tiles and putting pictures on the wall.
Montanna is only a sophomore, and she already has big plans for her future. She is planning to go into the field of science or maybe go to MIT. She says, “I just want to be something big, do something important.”
