Sports Building Champions The Cullman Cross Country team prepares for the 2013 season Marisa Franklin, Staff Writer
Throughout the summer, the cross country team prepared themselves for their upcoming season. Through the months of June and July, the team attended “A Step Ahead” running camp at St. Bernard. This camp was four days a week which started at 7 am and ended around 9 am. Their workouts consisted of tempo runs and long runs that ranged from a minimum of 4 miles to a maximum of about 10. They also traveled to Doublehead Resort in Town Creek, Alabama for their team camp which lasted 3 days. At this camp, each morning they got up at about 7 am to go on a long run. The runners had plenty of time to bond, eat, and nap in the afternoons and then went on a second run in the evening. All this was done in hopes that that they will succeed in meeting their goals for this season. These are the top 5 best running shoes according to runnersworld.com: 1. Brooks Ghost 6 2. Saucony Omni 12 3. New Balance 1260 V3
The cross country team embarks on their three day running journey at Doublehead Resort in Town Creek, Alabama.

Cats Are “Setting” Up for New Season CHS volleyball season kicks off
Bailey Baker, Staff Writer The Cullman High School Bearcat volleyball team is gearing up for a new season with a new coach. With 7 returning players, and 4 moving up from the junior varsity, the team is looking at a nearly completely new team along with its new leader. I interviewed Mrs. Greenlee, a second year physics teacher, on how the team is looking, the games they are facing this year, and her goals for her new team.
A. One word, amazing.
Q. How’s the schedule looking for this year? A. First we take on Brewer at Brewer on August 29, then the Brewer tournament that weekend. Our first area game is on September 10.
Q. Who do you think the toughest game will be? A. Definitely Hartselle. They won state last year, and are in our area.
A. I play left back. I’m a back row passer.
Q. What are you looking forward to most about this season? A. Playing with my teammates, especially the seniors. I’m close to all of them and it will be awesome to be playing with them in their last season.
Q. What game are you looking forward to the most?
Q. What are your main goals for the season? A. We would like to win area which is a high possibility with the amount of talent we have on the team this year.
I also asked Allie Gipson, a Junior and upcoming varsity player, about her views on the fresh season.
Q. How is your first year of coaching the varsity team going?
The Bottom Line
Q. What position do you play?
A. Good Hope, absolutely. I used to go there and I know everyone that plays on the team so I really want to beat them.
Congratulations Coach Britton and thank you for all that you do, sincerely, the Hilight Staff!

The Lady Cats opened up their season with a devistating close loss to Brewer. Five days later though, the ladies took on a home match against Hayden and Randolph. In a blowout the girls defeated the Hayden Wildcats 25-18 and 25-16. The cats ran into trouble, though, against Randolph and fell short in a two set loss. This year there are nine home games and two home tournaments, including the all-important Hartselle game and the Cullman Pre-Area Tournament. “We love having a huge crowd to come and support us, it really pumps us up,” Allie adds. You can find the team’s roster and the whole schedule online at cullmanvolleyball.org. Good luck ladies and as always Go Bearcats!
Football Kicks Off
The Football teams goals for this season Cole Lay, Staff Writer
Along with the school year starting, so does football season. It’s time for late night games and rivalries. As many of you know football season is huge in the south, tailgating and spending time with friends is just as important as the actual game is. Coach Britton: What is your motto for the team this season? “Family and togetherness, for us to be successful we have to work as a team.” Which game are you looking forward to playing the most this year? “I always look forward to the next game, but the game I’m looking forward to the most would have to be the Walker game. We have a lot guys getting their first start in a game and hope they have a great first game.” How does it feel being so close to achieving the most wins of any football coach in Cullman football history? “I am very fortunate to be able to achieve this goal, but I didn’t do it all by myself. I had help from great coaching staff.” Tyler Glen: How do you expect the team to play against walker? “Well I expect a four quarter game, I expect to win the game.” What is the meaning of your Tattoo? “ Well it is my last name and I got the tattoo due to having good grades, being responsible, and staying out of trouble.” Mason Jones: What are your expectations for the year? “Win region, beat Hartselle and to make an impact in the playoffs” How has Practice been getting you prepared for the season? “Very intense, hot, long, stressful but it will better prepare us for the long run.” Daniel Hunter: What are your expectations for the year? “I would hope we go to the state championship game this year.” What game are you looking forward to the most this season? “Russiville considering it is our homecoming game.” Beloved Coach Britton Beats Oliver Woodard Coach Oliver Woodard was a well-known football coach for Cullman High School having won 106 games and as a result, the CHS football stadium was named in honor of him. On August 31st, 2013 our beloved coach, Mark Britton, tied Oliver Woodard’s wins. On September 6th, 2013, Coach Britton broke the record of 106 wins to make his grand total a whopping 107! Hopefully, the season will continue to add wins to Coach Britton’s outstanding record. Thanks for all you do, Coach and congratulations. ... and remember Go Bearcats!

Features This Year’s Fresh Fashion How to Look Cool Going Back to School Cassidy Harrison and Leighanna Langford, Staff Writers
Outdoorsy If you are outdoorsy like the natureloving senior Madeline Johnson, you might like shopping at places such as Mountain High, Werner’s or Academy. Patagonia shorts and a Kavu hat would be perfect for a day of hiking for someone keeping up with this flexible trend. Chaco’s and T-shirts are everyday items worn by her as well as others sporting this style. With autumn approaching us quicker than you think, a lightweight Columbia or North Face jacket for fall weather would be more useful than ever. If you are a nature lover, this look would be fitting for your personality. Maddie’s simplistic style and happygo-lucky attitude is loved by us all here at CHS!
The Bottom Line 8 | 9.13.13 | The Hilight
Frat-tastic Hipster Liz Tankersley, the now Sophmore sweetheart, has a super groovy sense of style that , let’s be honest, a lot of us wish we could pull off. Liz wears classically cool pieces from Urban Outfitters, Forever21, and Anthropologie on the daily. Some key staples to pulling off this look on the regular are skinny jeans (of all washes), blazers, and bold graphic tees displaying your true self. Another great thing about being a “hipster” is that the style itself is extrememly versitle and fits all personalities and walks of life. So who would not want to be a part of this carefree style based on expressing the true you?
Caiden Trelles the fun-loving junior, portrays a perfect example of the modern day frat boy. His clean cut style and fresh “swag” is perfect for Alabama’s Phi Mu! Anything from Polo and Lacoste all the way to Southern Tide and Marsh can be found in this cool cat’s wardrobe. Be sure to top off any grteat combination of “skies out, thighs out” shorts (Chubbies) and a button up dress shirts with some classy loafers. So if you want to feel like a regular college guy stuck in a highschooler’s world this is the style for you.
We love all types of fashion! From posh 60’s classics to modern day Miley Cyrus, we embrace all!

Facts about that notorios day Hadley Hall, Co-Editor
It's Friday the 13th. If you're superstitious, you're likely under the impression that this is the most unlucky day on the calendar. Here are 13 facts about Friday the 13th to help keep your mind off all bad things that could happen today: 1. This is the first of two Friday the 13ths on the calendar in 2013: September and December all start on Sunday, which means the 13th day falls on a Friday. 2. The 1980 film "Friday the 13th" grossed nearly $40 million during its initial cinema run. 3. Fear of the number 13 is known as triskaidekaphobia, while fear of Friday the 13th is known as paraskavedekatriaphobia. 4. Many hospitals and buildings skip the number 13 when it comes to building floors and numbering rooms.
5. One psychotherapist, who specializes in the treatment of phobias, asserts that 21 million Americans fear Friday the 13th. 6. People in Spanish-speaking nations fear Tuesday the 13th. 7. NASA was almost tragically unlucky with its Apollo 13 mission. The capsule was launched at 13:13 on April 11, 1970. The explosion that ultimately destroyed the craft took place on April 13, which was a Monday. 8. The ancient Chinese regarded the number 13 as lucky. The ancient Egyptians also thought 13 brought good luck. 9. Tattoo parlors around the country offer specials for those who chose to commemorate the day permanently, traditionally offering tats of the number 13 for only $13.
Try saying paraskavedekatriaphobia 13 times fast.
10. President Franklin D. Roosevelt apparently suffered from triskaidekaphobia: he refused to travel on the 13th day of any month and would not host a dinner party with 13 guests. 11. The risk of being in a car crash on any Friday is higher than other days of the week. Not just on Friday the 13ths. 12. Some people believe the fear of Friday the 13th goes back to the Garden of Eden. Supposedly Eve offered Adam the forbidden fruit on a Friday, and they were then ejected from Paradise. 13. Want to avoid bad luck on Friday the 13th? There are a number of things you can do to ward off ill fate, according to superstition: Touch wood, cross your fingers, avoid black cats, don't look at the full moon through a pane of glass, and throw salt over each shoulder.

A New Era Begins
Cullman City Schools Welcomes Dr. Griffeth Keillian Carpenter, Staff Writer
<<<<<<<<<<<
After years of working with Cullman City Schools, our long time and beloved superintendent Dr. Jan Irons Harris has retired. After the announcement was made educators for far and wide applied for the job! After a long application process and hours of consulting, the Cullman City School board decided on four finalists. After many private and public interviews the decision was made to name Dr. Dooreen Griffeth of Cobb County was named Cullman City Schools Superintendent. Dr. Griffeth came was assistant superintendent of Cobb County GA, where she was over 25 of 149 schools. Before being named into the top four in the superintendent search Dr. Griffeth had never been to Cullman. “As soon as I found out that I was in the top four, I looked at my husband and told him we needed to go check out the town!” Says Griffeth when I spoke to her at the beginning of the year “We came down that weekend to explore the town.” When the call was made to tell Dr. Girffeth of her new job she was at her office in Cobb. The entire board called her on speaker phone to inform her of their decision. “I answered the phone and they asked if I was sure I still wanted to come to Cullman… I was very quick to answer YES!” Her boss was quick to congratulate her. After talking with her boss and coworkers she called her husband to inform him of her new job! When Dr. Griffeth arrived to Cullman she felt right at home. Cobb County Diplomas mean something to those who own them, and Cullman City Schools holds to same pride. Dr. Griffeth has high hopes for Cullman as she comes from a high preforming school much like Cullman. Cullman exceeds its past years, year after year, and our new superintendent hopes to continue that trend. After 27 year in Education Dr. Griffeth has been given many awards and honors. She has been named teacher of the year, as well as having schools named Blue Ribbon Schools and Georgia Schools of excellents. Dr. Griffeth’s favorite award is the Service Above Self Award, Awarded by the Rotary Club. “This award proves that what I’m doing touches those around me. And that people see that in my work.” Being an educator of such a large school system takes a lot, caring for each student is hard work. We all know that she deserves the award and can’t wait to see the honors she brings to Cullman! My Final question for Dr. Griffeth during our time together was if he was ready to be a Cullman Bearcat…. With a smile on her face she simply answered “Yes!”
We are all looking forward to the bright future with Dr. Griffeth!
Cobb County is one of Gorgia’s argest school districts.

Freshman Advice
What you need to know to survive Cullman High School. Kara Jackson, Staff Writer
Freshmen.
Stop, Look, and Listen. There are some unwritten
rules here
at CHS that go deeper than the handbook. Said rules will determine whether you sink or swim this upcoming year.
• Don’t LOITER on the sidewalks; it blocks traffic flow. Find an area inside a building to hang out with your friends at break. • Never eat at the picnic tables outside the lunchroom; this is SENIORS only, no exceptions.
• Know your place. At the middle school, you were a BIG FISH in a small pond, but now you’re a small fish in the OCEAN. • Nobody wants to see everything the good lord gave you. Be mindful of the DRESS CODE!
• Get involved. CHS offers a variety of extracurricular activities and clubs. Get out of your COMFORT ZONEand get involved with something on campus. • GPA matters! Colleges start looking at grades freshman year so don’t SLACK! Be sure to study and do your homework. • Make friends with your teachers! You will need them to write recommendation letters for you later. Be RESPECTFUL. The Bottom Line
This was taken on the third day of school. The large crowd of people standing in the middle of the sidewalk makes it virtually impossible for anyone to get where they’re going.
Freshamn year is always the most awkward, but Junior year is the year known by most as “the homework year”

THE BACK PAGE
*How to*
the best thing since the front page... and all of those pages in between!
Survive Cullman High School 10. DO NOT associate with any CONSTRUCTION WORKERS! 9. Don’t crowd the sidewalks. They are called sideWALKS, not sidestands. 8. Come to school with a good attitude. Teachers don’t think twice about sending a student who talks back to the office. 7. REMEBER: If your class doesn’t win the pep rally, it isn’t the end of the world. There’s no point in being a sore loser over a spirit stick.
6. Avoid the old gym vending machines if possible.
4. Have as much school spirit as you can. Your class is counting on you!
5. Sometimes, slower is better. If you hate lunch lines, walk slower to the lunch room. The cafeteria is less packed in between lunch bells.
3. You can wear it, until you tear it! The school dress code is no joke!
2. Listen to the morning announements carefully and take notes! The pop quizzes ARE NOT easy! These were compiled from the brilliant minds of Hadley Hall, Keaton Dean, and Mason Jones. Ideas expressed here, as always, do not necessarily reflect those of The Hilight, Cullman High School, or Cullman City Schools.
