The Fall Play presents The Match Game!

Last Friday, Carlynton’s annual Match Game was held to support the fall play, Our Town.  In the Match Game, the fall play cast dresses up as various characters, from movie stars to YouTube sensations.  The first round's MCs were the Sanderson Sisters, played by Marco Moorby, Hayley Kerns, and Jaimee Cabili, who began with a choreographed song and dance number.

The Game consists of two rounds and two teams each, pitting cast members against one another in a battle of points; the team with the most points in the end wins.  However, the winning team is more to the benefit of the audience; at the beginning of each round, an audience member is chosen for each team to compete and possibly win fall play tickets. 

To win the tickets, the chosen audience members answer fill-in-the-blank questions presented to their team; the goal is to write an answer that matches one of the team member’s answers. If the answers match (hence the name “Match Game”), the team receives a point.  For example, a question presented to the teams was “Carlynton has a new (motto): Community, Character, _______.” In response to the prompt, an audience member wrote “Bananas” to match with a cast member portraying Donkey Kong. Because they both wrote the same answer, the respective team won a point.

 In the second round, audience members got a kick out of cast members portraying teachers from
Carlynton, such as Ms. Begg, Mr. Palonis, Mrs. Fischer, and Ms. Nocera.  Kyle Auth impersonanted Mr. Kozy as the MC for Round Two. Daniel Badger, Mrs. Badger’s son, imitated his mother by sporting her trademark lab coat, bun, and various test tubes. 

Ms. Enck, portrayed by Elana Heffner, received an “autograph” from William Shakespeare, someone the real Ms. Enck vocally admires. Evan Walker, the cast member behind William Shakespeare, spoke exclusively in improvised rhymes and witty puns, causing the audience to burst out in laughter on numerous occasions.
Also, students in the audience chuckled at the interactions between Mr. Kozy and Mr. Stagl, longtime friends who are often seen hanging out in the hallway.  At the end of the round, all of the cast members who took part in the Match Game gathered on the stage for a group photo. We’re looking forward to seeing the cast in Our Town, which runs from December 4-8.

Anime Club

Carlynton's Anime Club is held in the shop every Tuesday after school. The club has fifteen members, but there are usually comfortably small groups from 4-7 people that attend weekly.  Anime Club leaders would love to welcome new members!  Anime Club votes on a different show to watch each meeting. Members also enjoy practicing their drawing skills during meetings, and sometimes the club even holds drawing contests. The club leaders hope to bring some positive changes to the Anime Club during the winter and spring months of this school year. They intend to watch a greater variety of shows and genres, and have also considered creating a roster of shows to watch over the course of the year.  If you are interested in joining Anime Club , simply show up to the shop on Tuesdays after school and introduce yourself to any of the Club members.  They are often found congregating around the video game console playing Super Smash Brothers.

The Carlynton Cougars boys soccer team pulled out with a 4-0 win against Avonworth. At halftime it was 2-0, then the team scored two more!! This was a must-win game for our varsity soccer team, in order to pursue Section titles. It was also senior night, so the game kicked off with recognizing their years of accomplishments. Seniors are Captain Carnel Kerr, starter Mark Phillips, goalie Nick Hunter, Ben Carothers, Sam Bigham, and Marco Moorby. Demetrius Howe (Junior) is the other captain and saw some great scores throughout the night. In fact, each captain scored 2 goals each, causing joyous uproar in the student section of the stands. The next home game will occur this Thursday. Grace Prepelka, 7th grade
