Time Flies By

     It is incredible how quickly times flies, probably in my case from getting older.  However, the 2012-13 school year is flying by fast and winter sports are in full swing here at Pike Central.
     Jason McKinney has another strong group of swimmers on both his girls and boys teams.  The results thus far have been favorable.  Though "JK" would really like a few more swimmers, he still feels like both groups can and will compete in the conference race in late January.
     First year head basketball coach John Mokris has the Charger boys playing hard, but with mixed results thus far.  Pike Central always plays a very difficult schedule and with games against Barr Reeve, Princeton and PAC foe Southridge, things have been tough going.  The boys will have time to re-group at Christmas time and be prepared to do battle in the 2nd half of the season.  Both the JV and freshmen teams have showed great promise, along with the middle school program.  Keep your fingers crossed that given time, the program can get turned around.
     Billy Hewig once again has a good group of wrestlers out; however, injuries have been a big bug-a-boo for the program.  The Chargers will be very competitive once the injury bug passes.  PC does have a wrestler ranked 12th in the state in Dalton Miller.  January will be an important month with both the conference tournament and the sectional.
     Randy Graham lead the Lady Charger Basketball team again this season and, like the boys, the season has been one of mixed results.  The ladies stand at 2-6 for the season (as does the JV team).  They also have the holiday season to get things worked out, especially with the brunt of the season coming in January.
     On another front, many people have complained about viewing the PCHS Website, looking for scheduled athletic events.  I don't blame you if you've been angered by the lack of crediblility of the site.  Our school has had some issues with the group that publish the schedules on a different website.  Thanks to our tech people (most notably Beth McMillen and Beth Bohnert), this has now been worked out.  If at anytime you want the days schedules (or any PCHS activities), just go to the home page and on the left, scroll down to "activities" and it will post the day's events, including all school and sports.  We are very sorry for any inconvenience the past has caused, but these ladies worked very hard to make this right.
     Other than that, that's for viewing the blog and GO PC! (Happy Holidays)
