On September 20, 1973, Billie Jean King played Bobby Riggs in what would be dubbed “The Battle of the Sexes”, a tennis match that King won. These days, the Hutchinson Community College women’s basketball team continues the tradition. The Blue Dragons regularly scrimmage a group of former athletes, all of which are male, for multiple hours a week in preparation for their upcoming games. The team thinks highly of the four guys who will come out and scrimmage them. “The guys have been very important to us, because when we have them we
don’t have to play against each other, and they usually simulate the other team,” said Blue Dragon sophomore guard Tor’e Alford. “We play against them, subbing in and out as we would in a game, so it’s less on our bodies.” Two of the practice players come from nearby Haven High School, located southeast of Hutchinson. Blue Dragons assistant coach Phil Anderson reached out to both Wyatt Carmichael and Skylar Shingleton to see if they would be interested in coming on to help them out. “Coach Anderson, he reached out to me and made me feel like part of the team,” Carmichael said. “I wanted to come and
compete every day, as I love the sport of basketball and got to play for a year for the (Blue Dragon) men’s team.” On the other hand, it has been a learning experience for Shingleton. “I have learned many new unique offenses and defenses,” he said. “From running them, I now know why some offenses are really hard to defend.” The Blue Dragons have been on a hot streak, winning 10 in a row and have avenged three of their four losses early in the year. That win streak has enabled them to climb into a first-place tie with Independence in the Jayhawk Conference. The Blue Dragons believe the guys have been essential to their success.
“They help prepare us by playing like the other team, running their sets and offense so we can get a better idea of how it all works,” Alford said. Carmichael has learned throughout the year from the women’s team that “You definitely don’t have to be the biggest or meanest to win, you just have to have the fight in you that’s needed to win games.” The Blue Dragons will travel to Garden City next Wednesday to take on the Garden City Broncbusters at 5:30 p.m. to wrap up their regular season before moving on to bracket play of the Region 6 Women’s Basketball Tournament located at Tony’s Pizza Events Center in Salina.
Professor proclivity By Jayshaun Jones Staff Writer
This being the week of Valentine’s Day, it’s fitting to tell the story of one of a Hutchinson Community College campus couple. Kim and Jesse Newberry are two professors at HutchCC. Kim Newberry is a sociology professor, while Jesse is a Computer Support Associate Professor/ Coordinator. But there’s more to these two than sociology and computers. Let’s dive into life with HutchCC’s power duo. First, to understand how their relationship works you have to know the story of how they met. “We kind of found each other on MySpace, which is like Facebook for old people,” Jesse said. “We also met through Match.com,” Kim said. “He had a profile and I had the barebones of one, you know, just enough so I can man shop.” The story gets even better. Kim tells the story from a Nov. 2008 meeting. “I went out to dinner with a friend and
I looked at her and I said ‘oh my god,’ that’s the guy, that’s the guy I saw on the internet,” Kim said. Jesse was bartending at the restaurant Kim and her friend were dining at. Kim and her friend went up to the bar and had some drinks. Afterward, Kim slid into Jesse’s direct messages, and the rest is history. Being a couple that works in the same place is not the real reason they are a power duo. They rarely see each other at all at work. “We have to plan for when we can meet. Sometimes we will go on walks, or out to lunch or something,” Kim said. Their relationship stretches beyond that. They have a son, 9-year-old Jackson. He loves to play video games and pretend he is streaming, while wondering why he doesn’t have a YouTube channel. Other things that Jackson likes to do are watch “Star Wars” and other Disney movies with Jesse. Kim and Jesse also have activities that they like to do together as a couple that they didn’t think they would enjoy See Newberry, Page 3

The premium streaming service
The Hutchinson Collegian Friday, February 18, 2022
Good news or bad news?
The debate between Spotify and Apple Music shouldn’t be a debate. Spotify is clearly the best music streaming service. Of course, there are other music streaming services that need to be mentioned, like YouTube Music and Amazon Prime Music, but they aren’t nearly as used as the other two. Spotify has been in hot water lately because of a certain podcaster spreading vaccine misinformation, in turn causing some artists to pull their discography off of the service. Spotify also has struggled with paying their artists too little per stream. However, Apple has been known to try and stop Spotify from being downloaded on their devices. This isn’t about the foes of the services though. This about the straight up service, and what each service offers. For starters, Spotify’s layout looks so much better than the one for Apple Music. It’s easier to navigate, and the dark background better highlights album artwork. Spotify is also a much more user friendly service. Spotify curates playlists for users based off of what the user likes, and creates different “mixes” for differ-ent moods. Not to mention Spotify Wrapped, which takes over the internet for the first week of December. Spotify is available for any type of device, being much more inclusive than Apple Music. Spotify is also cheaper than Apple Music, offering a free version for users that has ads. Apple Music users like the fact that Apple Music is exclusive to Apple users. While there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s lame to make that claim as to why Apple Music is superior. Overall, Spotify is the better music service. There’s no real competition. -For the Collegian editorial board.

Give women the recognition they deserve
Super Bowl 56 has officially come and gone and it’s had me thinking. We are a country that eats, sleeps and breathes sports. That being said, where’s the screen time for women’s sports? I honestly don’t think I have ever seen a women’s game for any sport televised. I remember in grade school, some teachers would allow us to eat lunch in the classroom just so we could watch the men’s basketball tournaments. I didn’t even know the WNBA existed until sometime in middle or high school. That’s honestly really concerning for me. Growing up, almost all the boys in my class wanted to be some sort of professional athlete. There were several aspiring NFL players, a few NBA hopefuls, and even some MLB dreamers. I’m sure there were a few girls who also wished to be professional athletes, but had no knowledge that such a league even existed for them. Their dreams came to a halt when they realized women couldn’t play in leagues like the NFL, NBA and MLB. It’s crazy to me that there are women’s leagues but we almost never see or hear anything about them. These girls don’t have them to look up to as much as the boys do. The same can be said about high school and college
sports. I remember going to the high school basketball games when I was a kid, and even then I could tell
Most of the student section didn’t even show up until at least after halftime of the girl’s game. Thankfully, that has gotten better over the years, but the lack of publicity for the professional leagues is still almost nonexistent. What kind of example is this setting for the children of our generation? Women are no less deserving of the same recognition for their skills. We shouldn’t let this go unnoticed. Things need to change.
Columnist
“Women are no less deserving of the same recognition for their skills.” the difference in support between the women’s and the men’s games. It was as if everyone in town showed up for the men’s game, but only the athlete’s family, friends and a few very dedicated fans.

If you can’t beat them, be them
What is America the best at, besides freedom and obesity and profitability of our healthcare system? You guessed it, abrasive acts of civil disobedience that, despite being dangerous often to the point of fatalities, end up being not much more than symbolic actions when all is said and done. It’s like you can read my mind. I’m not being political either, everyone here does this. Leftists did it with CHAZ, right wingers did it on Jan. 6, and Travis Scott did it with the Astroworld festival. We only know one way, the crazy way. If you’ve been following the news, you’ve seen that the conservatives of Canada have taken to the streets albeit in their cars - to voice - albeit with their horns - their displeasure at the COVID mandates. Supposedly this is being done by the truckers of Canada, which has pretty
much been an accepted fact by everyone who isn’t actually involved with labor organization for the truckers. In fact the Teamsters Union of Canada has gone so far as to condemn the protest. As someone who doesn’t have to endure the sounds of constant honking from these people, the framing of this as some sort of labor struggle is the most egregious thing about this protest. What kind of labor union protests for less safety measures? Jimmy Hoffa is spinning in the carpet he was rolled up in. Honestly, it’s kind of adorable. So many of them are carrying American flags, I saw a “lets go Brandeau” bumper sticker on somebody’s windshield. They want to be us so badly, I feel like a dad coming home from work to see my son wearing my shoes. I just

appears to be getting a wee bit dystopian, aye?”. There was a video that made the rounds of a woman being so politely arrested, while one of her protest companions said “Is that not brutality, eh?” It’s SO cute. Just wait til people start getting taken away on unmarked mountie horses. Genuinely, it is concerning that even a country as reputationally innocuous as Canada has also weaponized their police force and intelligence agency against their citizens. I guess that’s where all developing nations are headed. It’s not necessarily surprising. I mean they already sort of unleashed it on the Ojibwe tribe last year.

Podcasts every Sunday By Maegan Vincent Staff Writer
Hutchinson Community College has encompassed a new class into their English and Literature curriculum. Starting this spring semester, the class Podcast Fiction (EN2017) was introduced to students. Although offered exclusively online, this class consists of analyzing and assessing contemporary podcast dramas while also critiquing and questioning an audio drama’s place among commonly accepted literature. Throughout the semester, the class will look at podcasts from genres such as fairy tales, gothic and science fiction. While analyzing these works, the students are then asked if the podcast
fits in the genre assigned, and to often analyze what aspect of the story fits that criteria. The instructor for this class is David Dodson, who teaches a variety of English classes at HutchCC. Students in this class praise Dodson for being laid-back and “chill.” Another student said he’s “easy to communicate with and very understanding.” It can be difficult to think of podcasts as anything other than a celebrity rambling about avocado toast or biased political views, but they’ve developed into a wide variety of literacy consumption. If a student enjoys storytelling and enjoys listening to podcasts, then this class could be one to consider next year.
Sports roundup: Softball loses pair By Ben Short Online Editor
The Hutchinson Community College softball team dropped two games, one to Northern Oklahoma-Enid 7-1 and one to the No. 2 ranked Grayson College 11-3 on Friday in Texas. The Blue Dragons, in the first game, tied the Jets with six hits, but the Jets blew the game wide open with big innings and a walks that they capitalized on. The Blue Dragons left eight runners stranded during the game. In the second game, the Blue Dragons played Grayson. The game was tied 3-3 after the first inning. The game went downhill from there, as the Blue Dragons failed to score again in the 11-3 loss. Ella Doughtry led the way for the Blue Dragons with a stellar 3 for 4 performance at the plate. Grayson ended up with 11 hits. Baseball - The Blue Dragons took

advantage of lousy field play by Northern Oklahoma-Enid to get the win 6-4. The Blue Dragons now have a big three-game series this weekend as they head up to Midwest City, Okla. The Blue Dragons took an early 3-0 lead and the Jets tried to get back into it, scoring two runs in the bottom of the fifth, but pitcher Zane Covey made sure the Blue Dragons kept the lead with two strikeouts, stranding the potential game-tying run in scoring position. The final three runs from the were all unearned. Men’s basketball - The Blue Dragons got their 20th win of the season Monday night after surviving the Northwest Tech rally to win 92-89. Now in third place, the Blue Dragons host Seward County on Wednesday. The Blue Dragons were led by their stellar 3-point shooting. They tied a season-high with 14 3-pointers, knocking down 10 3-pointers in the first half. The Newberrys also like to read books together, watch movies, and just hang out. “Yeah, sometimes we will be looking for something to watch on TV, and we will just end sitting and doing nothing but just talking for like an hour,” Jesse said. Whether they are teaching or cooking, the Newberrys consider themselves lucky to have found someone who loves them as much as they love each other.

Rimmer offers tutuoring for more than math, English By Aubreigh Heck Co-Sports Editor
Tutoring is a fast and effective way to get help in a subject that a student might be struggling in. At Hutchinson Community College, tutoring is offered for free at Rimmer Learning Center, where Brad Fenwick, Director of Rimmer Support Services, helps students find tutors that are right for them. “Usually, we have 20-25 tutors on hand,” Fenwick said. “We have a couple types of tutoring that we do. What we always promise is that we’ll always have math and writing tutors available. For everything else, we either have somebody for it or we’ll try to hire somebody for it.” Alexa Platzer, a Wichita sophomore, enjoys being a tutor at HutchCC. “I tutor mostly math, biology and chemistry,” Platzer said. “I enjoy both school and helping people, so tutoring is like a mix of both. It’s different for every subject, but I especially enjoy it when students realize how different topics relate to one another and begin to become more self-sufficient as they continue working.” Students that tutor in Rimmer can typically tutor in more than one

subject. If a tutor has earned an ‘A’ or a ‘B’ in a class, they are eligible to tutor in that subject. Of course, not all students who receive a high grade in a course are able to efficiently tutor in that subject, so Fenwick makes sure that tutors are certain they can teach a student. “I always ask tutors, ‘Do you feel like you could really tutor in that course,’ because there are things that you earn a good grade in and you feel like you can’t actually tutor in that,” Fenwick said. “We want to make sure that they do not tutor a student in something that they don’t feel comfortable tutoring in.” If a student needs a tutor, there are simple steps they can follow to set up a time with one at Rimmer Learning Center. “We have a form avail-
able in Learning Zone, it’s also available at the HutchCC website if you go to the Rimmer Page,” Fenwick said. “There’s a form there that’s an individual tutor appointment request form. It asks what class you need help in, and what times you’re available. We then match that up with a tutor who is also available at that time and can tutor in that subject.” There are often misconceptions about students who need tutoring, but Fenwick has a different approach to those thoughts. “People quite often have the idea that you get tutoring because you’re a bad student and that you’re not doing well,” Fenwick said. “The reality is that good students get tutoring too. Good students want to do better, and make sure they get an A in their class. Tutoring is something that good students get.”

Blue Dragons celebrate Think Pink Night
Athlete of the week (Feb. 6-12) Mya Williams, women’s basketball

The week: Williams had two strong performances, as the Blue Dragons Williams won a pair of games. She first had 29 points ina 76-73 win at Dodge City on 9 of 14 shooting, and Williams followed that with a 37-point night in an 86-75 win over Colby, when she hit 12 of 16 shots. The season: Williams, a freshman from Waxahachie, Texas, is one of the top players in the Jayhawk Conference, averaged 18.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists a game.
Blue Dragons end losing streak by defeating Colby in overtime With leading scorer Stuart out with injury, Hutch picks up slack By Colton Fast Staff Writer
The Hutchinson Community College men’s basketball team ended its three-game losing skid whilst shorthanded with an overtime thriller against Colby on Saturday at the Sports Arena. It was a nailbiter throughout the game, as it finished with 15 lead changes and 10 ties, but the Blue Dragons pulled out a 104-99 win. With the absence of leading scorer Angelo Stuart, somebody would have to come and step in to fill that void. Kobe Campbell did exactly that. Scoring a career high 25 points on an efficient 10 of 18 from the field, 4 of 7 from 3-point range, while also tagging a healthy five assists and five rebounds in his 38 minutes, including a command-
ing stretch to help lead a small comeback midway through the second half. Those 38 minutes was another career high mark for Kobe, but fatigue didn’t seem to be a problem. “When coach (Tommy DeSalme) switched us to that full court 1-2-2, it put me at a defensive ease, so it didn’t really take any stamina off of me, offensively or defensively, so I could work out for the rest of the game.” Forward Jaquez Yow also contributed with a monstrous 23 points 12 rebounds and a career high five steals. Yow was everywhere, whether it was loose balls or finding a way to stop the ball. When asked how he does it, he put it very simply. “It was just my determination and my will to win … We took some real tough (losses), a lot of them at home, so we really just had to find a way,” Yow said.
Although any losing streak is going to be a negative, the Blue Dragons’ three-game losing streak is not as bad as you might think. With all three coming against above .500 opponents, including against defending NJCAA champions in Coffeyville and against Jayhawk Conference-leading Dodge City. DeSalme puts the credit to his guys executing. “We made big plays, we made winning plays when they mattered and that’s what we haven’t been doing, as we’ve just been in close games and not making those plays toward the end,” DeSalme said. “I thought Jaquez and Kobe especially weren’t gonna let us down” Although with a crazy ending to regulation with a game tying 3-poiners from J.J. White sent it to overtime, the ending to overtime was not quite as exciting as HutchCC was able to seal the win late with some defense and free throws.
