Indians lose playoff quarterfinals The Manhattan High football team watched their season come to an end in the quarterfinals of the playoffs Friday night as they fell to the top seeded Derby Panthers 55-20. Derby proved why they were rewarded with the top seed, putting on a strong performance both offensively and defensively. The Indians came out ready to play. Senior Henry Bieber returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown to put the Indians on top 7-0. The Panthers would go on to score 41 unanswered points, 34 in the first half, taking control of the game. The Indians did not have much success on the offensive side of the ball, only scoring one offensive touchdown which came on a 54 yard run from senior Josh Mullin. Kevin Forshee scored on a 50 yard defensive fumble recovery in the fourth quarter which put the Indians at 20 points. Although the Indians season did not end the way they would’ve hoped they still accomplished a lot. The Indians finished the season with a 8-3 record that included a 7 game winning streak, a centennial league championship, a regional championship, a trip to the playoffs and a five overtime win in dramatic fashion in the first round of the playoffs over Maize.

Chamber choir performs along side KSU Concert choir Madeline Marshall Staff Writer With two standing ovations in a single concert, it can be said that the Chamber Choir concert this past Sunday was a thundering success. They performed at All Faiths Chapel on Kansas State campus along with the KSU Concert Choir. The concert required a lot of preparation, especially when considering the high
level of music performed. “I had to learn almost everything about choir in just a short amount of time,” senior Lane Sorell said. “This is my first year of vocal performance and is amazing to me how much goes into singing. From mouth shape to breathing to solfege, I couldn’t believe the vast array of things to learn.” Sorell wasn’t the only one working to learn things. Everyone in the choir had dif-
ferent points of focus. With each and every person working to become their best self, it’s no wonder that they sounded the way they did. “The most fun part of preparing for the concert was thinking back on how we sounded before we worked on the songs and realizing how much we have improved through all of the difficult rehearsals,” sophomore Emma Galitzer said. Other than the experi-
Scholars Bowl takes first Matt Bandy Staff Writer The Manhattan High Scholars Bowl team had been engaged in two J.V. meets and one Varsity meet in the last week. The first of the meets was on Monday, Nov. 11, a J.V. tournament where five freshman competed for their first time. “It was a good experience for them to get,” Scholars
Bowl head coach Ted Dawdy said. The freshman went 6-3 in pool play where every team played every other team to advance.Two of the three losses were in tie breakers. They ended up in fourth place and did not advance in the tournament. On Wednesday both J.V. and Varsity competed. The Varsity team traveled to Chapman to take first out of the 22 teams.
“I’m the main math person,” junior Kyle Weston said. “I can also do most of the science questions.” The team went 9-1 in pool play, then won semifinals and finals to win the meet. The J.V. team went to Cair Paravel Latin School in Topeka. They went 5-0 in pool play but lost in the semifinals. However, they won their consolation match taking third place.

ence gained from strenuous preparation, the choir gained experience listening and learning from the KSU Concert Choir. The KSU Concert Choir is a highly select mixed ensemble comprised of students from a variety of majors across campus. Before the performance, Chamber Choir had the chance to work with the choir and their director, Dr. Joshua Oppenheim.
“They are extremely good singers and hearing them can make us sound better,” junior Alex Stenberg said. “They are of a higher level that I am hoping to attain in the next few years. It helped me to see what I was preparing for,” senior Megan Knudsen said. The concert gave students a chance to see college students, some of which were MHS alumni, performing at an extremely high level, and
gave them something bigger to strive for. “At one point Dr. Oppenheim leaned over to Mr. Pape and just said ‘they’re great, everything’s coming together, just great’ and you could tell Mr. Pape was beaming, and so were we,” Galitzer said. “It meant a lot to hear that coming from him.”
IPS students attend dance class so it was a new experience. “I learned how to do the wobble and do ballet. Very similar styles,” senior Lane Sorell said. “It was fun. I liked watching people jump around.” Fellers enjoyed watching those who had never done ballet before attempt what
