Recently, about 20 high school students from Mr. Vogel’s, Mr. Baumgartner’s and Mr. Shelley’s classes participated in an industry tour of Timberbuilt in North Collins. Timberbuilt is a design/build company specializing in custom timber-frame homes and structures. Students had the opportunity to meet with many members of the Timberbuilt staff, including the architectural team, engineers, and workshop workers who contribute to the company's success. They were given a hands-on look at how modern, energy-efficient timber-frame buildings are designed and constructed.

The varsity girls basketball team returned from Winter Break and defeated Holland by a score of 54-31. The girls started off slowly as they entered the 2nd quarter down 10-7. All of that changed with some terrific defensive pressure by Lilly Enser and Dani Oakley. With 1:43 left in the first half, the girls forced four steals and suddenly found themselves up by 7 points going into the locker room. The girls proceeded to start the second half on fire, outscoring Holland 17-5. That quarter saw two big three pointers from Dani Oakley, 5 points from Kelcie Illig, and 4 points from Aubrey Roy. The story of the night was the stingy Griff’s defense as they made life miserable for the visitors and challenged every offensive possession. Scorers on the night included:
Dani Oakley: 18 points
Aubrey Roy: 12 points
Kelcie Illig: 9 points
Leah Franklin: 8 points
Lilly Enser: 7 points
The girls now find themselves in sole possession of first place in ECIC Division 4. The girls return to action tomorrow night when they host the Eden Raiders in a huge matchup within the league. Come out and support this great group!

The final step in the Youth Voices, Holiday Choices initiative was recently completed by student and staff volunteers. The winning designs to deter driving under the influence were made into stickers and stuck to paper bags that will be used at Cheap Chollies Wine and Liquor in conjunction with National Impaired Driving Prevention Month. The initiative, which was led by SADD and Above the Influence, resulted in compelling anti-DWI designs that were assessed by a judging panel of community leaders.

The varsity girls basketball team dropped a non-league game to 4th-ranked Wilson by a score of 41-28. The girls showed some incredible defensive play, but couldn’t string enough offense to keep up with the Lakewomen.
Early on, the girls were down 15-7, but they turned it around before halftime and were down 16-14 entering the locker room. Unfortunately, too much foul trouble plagued the Lady Griff’s, which hindered their offensive attack.
Next up, the girls host Eden in a big-time showdown in Division 4.
