On February 26th 2021, in Biology we learned about genetics. We learned about pigeons on how these pigeons get their colors from their parents and from their grandparent. We also talked about how they can be trained for racing, we also talked about how soldiers used these pigeons to deliver messages back to their camps to notify other soldiers for help, information, etc.

On Wednesday February 17th, was the day of the play-ins for region. Wayne played Escalante at home. This game would decide what bracket they would be going into for region. Wayne won against Escalante 59-35. On Friday the 19th, it was the first game of region, and Wayne played Milford. This was a pretty good game, but the Wayne girls fell behind in the first half, making it hard to catch up in the second half. Wayne played super hard the second half and caught up quite a bit but it wasn’t enough. Wayne ended up losing to Milford 54-40. For the second day of region the girls were going to be playing for 3rd and 4th place, and would be playing Valley. These teams played each other 3 times before, Valley winning one of them and Wayne winning the other two. This was a close game, not really one that had been in head for too long. Valley had out scored Wayne in the first quarter, but Wayne kept up with them in the other quarters. Valley had scored a few at the end of the fourth quarter and they won. Overall for region the Wayne girls took 4th place!

Here at Wayne High School, we are lucky to have a gymnastics class. This is a class that we haven’t had for many years, so it is very exciting that we have the opportunity to have this class. This class is taught by Mr. Charles (Chuck) Greco, who has taught gymnastics in previous years. His expertise and knowledge of gymnastics has been very beneficial for all of the students in the class. He teaches them about the technique and strength necessary to perform well in gymnastics, as well as the proper stretching and warming up routines that help prevent injury. All of the students have made great improvements since the beginning of the semester, and there is always great excitement from the rest of the class when one student gets a new skill down or does something well. We want to thank Chuck for all of the work and support he gives to each of the students in his class.

In the B-1 Physics, 18 February 2021, class taught by Mrs. James a roller coaster activity was done. The students were to make foam roller coaster tracks and have a marble traverse through the track. Each group of students were given 8 foam noodles, duct tape, and a section of the walls on the hallway to work with. Many students had a fun time making abstract courses with loops and hills.

On February 10, Wayne High School took a trip down memory lane as study hall classes created valentine boxes just like they did in elementary school. This activity was part of the Spirit Week celebration that was happening throughout the week. Study hall classes were required to bring their own supplies (including a box) to decorate. Although many classes didn’t bring a box to decorate, the student government still brought candy around to each student. It was a fun activity that definitely had a feeling of being back in elementary school as a young child. Everyone enjoyed the candy and it was a great idea from student council, even if it wasn’t executed exactly how they thought. Happy Valentine’s Day Badgers!

This week was the last of the girls' games before they play their play-in game, region games, and state. They played Valley on Wednesday, February 10th, and will play Panguitch on the 12th. Wednesday’s game was also Senior night for the girls. There were lots of people there to support them and watch the game! It was a pretty close game, Wayne would score and then Valley would score, so there wasn’t really anyone that was ahead for too long. Wayne had eventually got up three points, but then fouled Valley so they got to shoot. Valley’s girl made one out of the two foul shots putting them 2 points behind with only about a minute left. Wayne played good defense and didn’t let them score, and they ended up winning. This game decided whether they were going to be seated first or second in the region.
