Seventh Grade Panthers Lose To Spearman Last Week
By Ann Metcalf
In their second home
game of the season, the
Seventh Grade Panthers
were defeated by Spear-
man 24-8.
Panhandle went three
and punted after receiv-
ing the opening kickoff.
Following the punt, it was
Spearman’s ball on the 50.
On their first play, Spear-
man scored on a 50 yard
run then ran in a two-point
conversion; with 3:45 on
the clock, Spearman led
8-0.
Braden Durst re-
turned the Lynx kick-
off to the Panhandle 45
where it was first and 10.
Panhandle punted on the
fourth down and Panhan-
dle’s defense tightened up
with Ethan Shadid, Durst,
Mack Leven and Dallen
Jones teaming to stop the
Lynx and keep the score at
Panhandle 0, Spearman 8
as the quarter ended.
Panhandle had a first
and ten on their own 40
yard line to open the sec-
ond quarter. A pass from
Luke Ray to Koldyn Se-
gura was good for five.
On third and five, another
Ray to Segura pass gave
Panhandle a first and 10
on the Spearman 25. Af-
ter runs by Durst and Ray,
Panhandle had a first and
10 on the Spearman 13.

Dear Editor,
Panhandle High School is doing great! We’ve be-
gun a robust fall full of rigor and challenge. Publicly,
folks may have noticed our sports teams’ successes and
struggles (which I know does us good) as well as our
band’s efforts to choreograph a new and exciting show
for contest; and hopefully, our fans have noticed a larg-
er and very athletic cheerleading squad.
Beyond the public eye, our students and faculty
are in the midst of responding to the rising standards
and student expectations of our world, our state, our
district, and our campus. Our 12th graders have been
challenged to top off their college entrance exam s with
higher scores this fall and spring - as most of you are
aware, high ACT and SAT scores translate into college
scholarship $$$$$! Every ninth, 10th and 11th grader
on our campus is engaged in practical learning that ad-
dresses both stated requisites for post-secondary readi-
ness and the state-imposed assessments that help deter-
mine if our campus is staying current and relevant. Our
high school faculty has taken the reins of site-based
decision making and have implemented reading initia-
tives that have every ninth, 10th and 11th grader read-
ing and doing reflective writing.
This sounds like a simple process, but if you have
kept up with state trends, our public school student’s
ability to write in expository style (a type of written
discourse that is used to explain, describe, give infor-
mation or inform) has been lacking. PHS teachers
spotted this trend early and built into our schedule a
time slot and a plan to face the challenge of this new
standard; I applaud them...and so should you.
This is just a taste of the hustle and bustle of the
Panhandle High School Campus - come see us, come
share with us, come be a part of preparing the youth of
Panhandle to impact the world.
See you at school,
Jerry Schaeffer
Principal, Panhandle High School
