The cast list for this year’s fall play, The Auditioners, has been released. The Auditioners is a short comedy play, written by Doug Rand. Congratulations to the following students – Sydnee Jackson, Theresa Hamilton, Hailey Morley-Guenther, Mary Cordray, Brett O’Neal, Liberty O’Neal, Trent Turner, Jesus’ Holguin, Kaylee Hammond, Caleb Ditch, and Irene Mason.
Synopsis: This audition was supposed to be simple: prepare one classical monologue and one contemporary monologue. But when this challenge is taken up by a beauty queen, a stand-up comic, a slam poet, an Esperanto-speaking mime, and a parade of other crazies -- most of whom insist on doing the same Lady Macbeth piece very badly -- what's a director to do?
The play will be performed at the High School on Saturday, November 16, at 7pm, with a matinee performance on Sunday, November 17, at 2pm.

From Head Girls Golf Coach, Darin Lawhorn...
Wow! What an ending to an amazing year. These six girls played amazing golf at the State tournament against the best competition. The Lady Tigers finished 4th in the state for the second year in a row. Last year we graduated all 6 of our varsity golfers. So this years six golfers had to be ready to step up to the challenge. I could not be more proud of a group of athletes. They put in an amazing summer of work to be ready for this moment. Leading the way for the Tigers were state medalist Katelin Lohman and Izzy Higgins. Please congratulate Katelin Lohman, Izzy Higgins, Emma Herring, Ryleigh Zitek, Taryn Taylor, and Sydney Sage on remarkable season. Coach Deiter and I are incredibly proud of these girls.
Congratulations to our 7th and 8th grade volleyball teams! They both ended the regular season undefeated and BOTH came home CHAMPIONS at the league tournament today! Strong work ladies! Congratulations to Coach Janelle Harper, Coach Adrianne Carr and Coach Pam Clark on a great season!
