Mr. Trent Alexander (along with other volunteers) spends several mornings a week greeting students as they arrive at Mountain Home High School in the mornings. This morning he dressed as a representative of "The Big Guy" and made an appearance at the high school staff Christmas celebration. Thanks to Mr. Trent for making the world a little brighter every day!

SWIM RECAP FROM COACH LIND:
Boys and girls both finished 6th place overall at our State tournament in Benton Saturday. That being said, our swimmers swam their fastest times of the year. We had 13 personal bests across 13 different events, some swimmers shattering their previous time like Tyler Edwards by over 6 seconds.
Freshman Callie Kohler is individual State Champion in the 50 free as well as the 100 backstroke. Her 100 backstroke beat the second place swimmer by almost 7 seconds!
Senior Benny Vetter won the silver medal in the 100 free as well as the 50 free. He was beaten only by Parker Rodgers of Batesville who broke several state records. The 50 free race was decided by only 0.84 seconds. Senior Ajay Reiss also took the podium in the 50 freestyle, posting the best time of his life at 23.91. Senior Peeka Traver posted the best time of her career in the 100 freestyle bringing home the silver medal in the event. Traver also earned her best time in the 100 breaststroke, dropping time by 1.83 seconds.
Our girls placed 3rd overall in the 200 medley relay as well as the 200 freestyle relay. Their times were the best of the season by far.
Overall, our swimmers were on the podium a total of 13 times. 2 gold (Callie Kohler), 3 silver (Peeka -1, Benny -2), 2 bronze (Girls' 200 Free Relay, Girls' 200 Medley Relay), and then 6 medals of 4th-7th.
HUGE CONGRATS!

The MHHS Quiz Bowl team competed in the Ozarka College Invitational in Melbourne today. We lost our first game against perennial contender Batesville, on the very last question. In our second game, we beat a local team known for their Quiz Bowl acumen, in Norfork. In our third match, against a stout Highland team, we lost on the fifth question of overtime. All three matches were well played and our students showed a lot of promise by roughly scoring around 300 points per match. This tournament was a tune-up before the regional tournament in Marion on March 7th.
Pictured are: Tanner Pool, Victor Jackson, Christian Belicek, Aidan Kerr, Laurel Smeltzer, Kynleigh Reynolds, Savannah Mathews, Kohler Mathews, Jack Coleman, Wave Simmons, Dylan Prins, Brandon Munson, and Caiden Kaspar.
