Chase the Ace, a fundraiser sponsored by the Wagner Activities Council is a new organization that started last year. The organization is similar to a student council for the schools events and activities. They help plan the dress up themes, come up with ideas to involve the student body and community among other things that help out with activities. The council is currently raising money to purchase Lettermans jackets for any Wagner student that participates in an activity in each of the 3 seasons through their first 2 years of high school. Student athletes need to finish an activity in the fall, winter and spring of their first 2 years of high school. The Chase the Ace fundraiser started in the winter of last school year, the Activities Council created a board with 54 cards on it and each card is numbered. When people purchase a raffle ticket for $2 they write their name and the number of the card they think is the Ace of hearts. If their ticket gets drawn, they cut out the number they guessed, if it is the Ace of hearts, they win the pot. If it is not, they win 10% of what was sold that evening, and the pot grows until the Ace is found.

Wagner would commit 17 turnovers to Winners 13. “This was a great test for us to start the year. They are an experienced team that brought back everyone from a year ago that won 15 games throughout the season. We played with some jitters early but thought I we responded well, especially being on the road. We do need to clean up our passing in the full court and half court. Winner shot nearly 20 more times than we did due to our turnovers and the offensive boards they got. On our possessions in the first half where we turned it over we didn’t get shots in transition and turned it over instead. All learning experiences and now we move on to the next game!”

TheBonHommeAvonwrestlers traveledtoGregoryforthe Burke/Gregory Invitational. Up to this point they have been wrestling well and training hard which is good to see. In this tournament they allowed unattached wrestlers so we had twenty kids competing on the day. Going in I was looking for them to go out compete and wrestle hard from the beginning of the tournament to the end. These tournaments are long and are a grind at times so it is hard to stay focused but they responded well. At the end of the day they earned themselves a team Championship and should be proud of the way they wrestled as a team. Looking forward the competition is only going to get tougher so they need to keep wrestling hard and keep improving.
