The Loggers played well in the second half, but struggled in the early going, showing the rust of the offseason. Applying pressure through out the game, VHS forced the Knights into many turnovers that allowed the Loggers to score. “We played well in the sec ond half, but we will need to play a much better game from start to finish, if we are going to compete this year," said Head Coach Jeff Cheney.

Eagleson was the model for the first visit, when Otani demonstrated to a rapt audi ence of third graders how to make a plaster cast of Eagle- son’s face. Working in teams, a mask was made of each child’s face. The masks were then painted and decorated as ani mals, to coincide with a science unit the class was also study ing. The entire process was captured on slides by parent volunteers working in the class and developed into a presenta tion by Eagleson and her stu dents. Three students attended the meeting with Eagleson. Zak Smith showed the board his red, yellow and green duck. A picture in a book inspired Sab rina Sulloway to paint her mask as a red, black and violet frog, and Parker Roach produced a feathered owl mask. The board was pleased with the presentation, which demon strated how one project could operate across the curriculum (arts, science and reading) us ing both technology and locally raised funds.
