EDITOR’S NOTE

Staff List Editor-in-Chief Cameron Harris

Looking to the rest of the school year

e have been back at school for almost a month now, and new things are happening all the time. At the Warren Central Owl, we are getting you all of the news from around Warren Central High School. As we begin to get closer to the end of the school year, we are also making sure that we spread all of the information necessary for students and staff such as changes coming for next school year and even for the rest of this one. For this fifth issue of the school year, we are covering many different events happening in our community, such as celebrations for Black History Month and Valentine’s Day. For Black History Month, we are taking a look at events around Indianapolis that are honoring it, as well as remembering historical figures. For Valentine’s Day, we found some Black-owned businesses around the community to help students celebrate. Other interesting stories in this issue include a letter from a leader in our school and different angles on the decision of moving to block scheduling next school year. For that subject specifically, we are bringing you an opinion piece based on our newsroom’s thoughts about how block scheduling might work out, as well as an informational story to help you learn more about the topic. With such a large change coming to the school, we believe it is of the utmost importance to bring you the most accurate information there is. We also have information on new video games for 2024 that are making a splash in the entertainment world. To go along with that, we are also covering the winter sports within the school, and what is for many of them the last stretch of their seasons. Some of these teams have already completed their postseason, and readers can find their stories on our website. I hope that you will take the time to read about all of the interesting things happening in our school and our community. Nothing is better than our audience growing, and we look forward to providing this newsmagazine to all of you in 2024.

Valentine’s Day at Warren Central in 1989

Sports Editor Caden Kerr

By Cameron Harris Editor-in-Chief

n 1989, Valentine’s Day was a big occasion just as it is today, and the Owl staff made sure to celebrate. The newspaper’s way of including Valentine’s Day coverage was having students send in notes that they wanted to give to others. These notes could be serious notes for people in love or just a funny phrase to help lighten the mood.

Mission Statement As a student written and edited high school news magazine, the Warren Owl will strive to perform three functions: 1. To inform its readers thoroughly and accurately of all events and issues relative to students, staff and community. 2. To provide a forum for student opinions through its editorials and letters to the Editor. 3.

To entertain readers with focus and feature items.

4. To promote meaningful ideas that better the outlook and experience of the school environment. Student staff members will decide the content of each issue and will write and edit all printed material. Editorials will reflect the views of the student staff as a whole, not necessarily the opinions of administration or faculty members.

OPINION

WE THINK...

Block scheduling will be a positive move in the end

tarting in the 2024-25 school year, Warren Central High School will be on a block schedule. Approved by the Warren Township School Board on Jan. 10, block scheduling will be a major change to how high school in our district is run. Some major changes include longer classes and not meeting with every class every day. We believe this is a positive change and that it can have a significant impact on how students learn and how teachers teach. From both perspectives, it will take a lot of getting used to, but it will hopefully end up being a worthwhile change in the end, ideally leading to more engaging lessons for all. Still, many things need to be taken into consideration for this plan to be effective. From a student’s standpoint, we believe that it will just be something for students to get used to over time. It is a big risk because the longer time in class could either cause students to be more engaged or more apathetic, which is already a big problem in the school today. For this reason, teachers and school leaders must be even more vigilant when it comes to those students. Students who want to learn should have every opportunity to do so, without having to deal with other students who want to sit around and do nothing. This should be a big focus of the changes that are made. “As with anything, everything has a positive and a negative,”

algebra teacher Jennifer Harris said. “There will be good things and things to be concerned about.” From a teacher’s perspective, longer classes can cause different departments to rewrite their curriculums, which will be a lot of work. However, these changes could bring a new way of covering certain topics that engage students more than they did before. Teachers should be excited about this change coming because it gives them a new way to try and interact with students. “I think [block scheduling] will help if teachers really commit to engaging students,” principal Masimba Taylor said. From the point of view of the school itself, attendance should be a main focus of the change, because if students miss school one day, it will have more of an impact on them, due to them missing more content in their classes. Another way to encourage students to be at school is to make students want to be there, or at least rather be at school than somewhere else. If the school can implement ways to make classes more engaging for students and staff, everybody would turn out happier with what they are doing. “I am fine with any change that is designed to improve student results,” social studies teacher Nicholas Salemi said. “If the things we are doing right now aren’t creating the results we want, then we need to make changes, so I’m willing to try block scheduling.”

THUMBS By Qaden Childs Entertainment Editor

Thumbs up to… Maine and Colorado for removing Donald Trump from their primary state ballot. On Sept. 6 of last year, six Colorado voters filed a 115-page lawsuit that asked the state court to bar Trump from obtaining ballots from the state of Colorado. This decision would cause all the members of Colorado’s state court to enter a discussion on the subject for three consecutive months and thirteen days, before being ruled on Dec. 19, 2023 – nine days before the state court of Maine would ultimately do the same. Both decisions had proper reason to be passed thanks to Trump’s last-ditch bid to stay president on Jan. 6, 2021, by summoning a mob of his supporters to attack the Capitol in the hopes of overturning the Nov. 3 electoral results. This directly interfered with Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, also known as “The Insurrectionist Ban.” Now Trump has something to worry about for the upcoming presidential election, as these actions have caused states all around the country to ponder doing the same.

Thumbs down to… Deobra Redden for attacking a judge before receiving his prison sentence. The 30-year-old Nevadian was initially charged with “attempted battery with substantial bodily harm” and was brought before Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus to be judged on the case. Redden tried to convince Holthus that he was trying to make a change about himself and left his violent past behind, in the hopes of gaining parole. However, the judge was not moved by his words and went about to sentencing him. Before she could, though, Redden leaped over the defense counsel table, rushed through the well of the courtroom, jumped over the judicial bench “superman style,” slammed into Holthus and attacked her. Separate from the initial case, Redden now faces additional charges under a new judge of “coercion with force or threat of force,” “extortion,” “intimidating public officers with the use of force,” “disregard of the safety of person/property,” “battery by prisoner” and seven counts of “battery on a protected person” for his actions.

Thumbs up to… Lily Gladstone for becoming the first indigenous woman to win a Golden Globe for Best Actress. On Jan. 7, the actress accepted a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Osage woman Mollie Burkhart in Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” before delivering her acceptance speech to everyone in attendance, with a part of it being spoken in Gladstone’s native Blackfeet language.

Thumbs down to… Francesca Gino, for falsifying her reports on dishonesty. The 48-year-old Italian-American behavioral scientist was once seen as a prominent professor at Harvard Business School, who authored dozens of studies in the field of behavioral science – specifically, dishonesty and unethical behavior. However, several people have come forward with claims that she had altered data on at least four papers in recent weeks. Upon receiving said claims, Harvard Business School put her on administrative leave, as they continue to root through these claims for more evidence on the scandal.

LETTER FROM A LEADER Strength coach Jerry Clark II discusses leadership

By Jerry Clark II Guest Writer

ince I was hired as the strength coach at Warren (August 2022), I have done a lot of self reflection as a coach and educator. When I received the email that detailed me being selected to provide a “Letter from a Leader,” I chuckled and thought, “Wow, this came at an interesting time,” in the midst of my own self reflection that occurred over winter break. If I had to reflect on some of my previous experiences that are connected to being a leader and role model, they begin with my parents and the rest of my immediate family. I would say that the “pillars” of success in life are family, trust, loyalty and respect. From those things comes structure, discipline and accountability. All of my mentors, friends and family believe in all of these things I have named above. You cannot be part of our “Clark family circle” without living your life accordingly. Furthermore I can hear my dad saying, “Even in bad/negative times take notes, because people will show you what not to do in situations.” My mom, who is as tough as nails, would then chime in and say, “Suck it up because life is hard and it goes on, so you have to figure out how to keep it moving.” I will be honest and say that I did not go through the typical process(es) and experience of becoming a strength coach. I was originally going to get a Ph.D. in biomechanics. However, while in graduate school, I took and passed the test for a strength and conditioning certification and sort of fell into being a

The Warren Central Owl • owl.warren.k12.in.us • 2 | 2 | 2024

strength coach. Most strength coaches train under or are mentored by someone in the field of strength and conditioning. So in all reality, you can say that I am a completely self-taught strength coach with a hard science background in biomechanics. Early in my career at Ball State University and Eastern Michigan University I had to learn how to successfully integrate the biomechanics, strength and conditioning while also effectively communicating and modeling things in the weight room. When I moved to Indianapolis from Michigan, I had to learn how to be a teacher conducting classes, which is different from running collegiate weight rooms and programs. I had some great mentors while at Arlington, which was a blessing. Leadership and being a role model go hand in hand and are constant when you are coaching and teaching. I would dare say that becoming part of the Warren Family has helped me grow more than any other coaching experiences I have had previously. The class sizes are larger than my previous experiences, thus forcing me to multitask daily as well as code switch throughout the day because of all the different learning and communication styles the student athletes have. As my friend Damon Robinson (rest in peace brother) used to say, “Iron sharpens iron!!!” I say this because being involved with so many different sports programs forces me to evaluate and assess how classes and after school workouts are going daily.

WARREN TURNS 100 Principal Taylor hints at multi-year celebrations

By Patrick Collier Staff Writer

oming into 2024, Warren Central will have educated students for 100 years, and this year’s group of seniors will be the school’s 100th graduating class. While the actual construction of the school started in 1924, the doors wouldn’t open for students until July 12, 1925, according to Principal Masimba Rusununguko-Taylor. Thus, there are multiple years of celebration to ensue. “It speaks to the longevity of our commitment of providing the best education to all students,” Taylor said. “Throughout these 100 years we continue as a school to meet our challenges head on, and as a result we continue to get better with time.” Taylor confirmed that while a lot of celebrations are to come this year, plenty more will be had in the next school year as well.

“The biggest thing is we want to highlight how we have evolved as a school,” Taylor said. From physical changes to the building and grounds, to the size of the student body, Warren Central has definitely changed in the last century. Though Warren Central’s mission is to educate and prepare students for the world. There is no doubt that the school gives staff memories and a community to look forward to. “It continues to be a great experience,” Taylor said. “I am growing and learning from students, staff, and the community daily. My time here continues to be rewarding and I look forward to many more years of being the proud principal of WCHS.”

BLOCK SCHEDULING Warriors prepare for shift in schedule next year

By Xiomara King Staff Writer

arren Central is about to undergo a massive change next school year, moving from its current 7-periods-a-day schedule to a new “block schedule.” A block schedule breaks up a student’s overall class schedule into two days instead of one, where they would attend longer – but fewer – classes each day. With longer class periods, the hope is that teachers get to engage more with students and not have to rush through lessons. Students also get more time to do work in class instead of having to do a lot of work after. “A block schedule allows us to not have time constraints and allows us to build a classroom instructional model that allows for reteach, small groups, pull outs, all of those things that we’re not really able to do in the confines of a 49-50-minute class,” Principal Masimba Rusununguko-Taylor said. The Warren Township Board of Education officially approved the change on Jan. 17 in a unanimous vote. “I can’t reiterate enough that some type of change has to happen,” Taylor said to the board ahead of the vote. There are many different types of block schedules that a school can operate on. The approved schedule for Warren Central includes four class periods per day, ranging in time from about 85 to 90 minutes per period. “The goal is not for teachers to do the same thing in a 49-minute class in a 8690 minute class but for them to really engage the students,” Taylor said. “The intent is for

there to be more hands-on, more projects, more student-led, more opportunities for experiences.” Some students, like sophomore Kevin Lloyd, said he fears that a block schedule with classes every other day instead of every day could make students’ workload more confusing to keep track of The school hopes to combat this by utilizing the “eighth period” in the block schedule as a Student Resource Time to really focus on helping students stay organized. Still, Lloyd said it is “pretty sweet” to

only have to attend four classes a day. “I feel like the block schedule can benefit all of us,” he said. According to Taylor, school officials will learn more from block scheduling once it starts and make changes as needed, but the need to try something different has outweighed the comfort of keeping the same schedule. “We’re trying to get as creative as we can,” Taylor said. “Right now, we’ve been doing the same thing the same way for almost 100 years … in terms of scheduling.”

ON THE UP AND UP

District leaders discuss improved reading scores

By Caden Kerr Sports Editor

ut of 11 school districts in Marion County, Warren Township had the highest reading proficiency growth score in a year’s time. While Warren Township still ranks fourth to the bottom in the county with overall reading proficiency, township leaders say they are continuing to make leaps and bounds to grow. The data is based on scores from IREAD-3, a standardized test taken by all third graders in Indiana. This test is used to measure reading skills based on Indiana Academic Standards. “Although IREAD3 is administered in third grade, it essentially an assessment of K-3 reading skills,” Superintendent Dr. Tim Hanson said. “For us to continue improving our student reading outcomes, we have to prioritize and support reading development not only during their K-2 school years but also before they start kindergarten.” Through the IREAD-3 test in the 2022-2023 school year, Warren Township showed a 5% increase in reading proficiency compared to the 2021-2022 school year. “The 5% increase is an important outcome and does represent the efforts made by Warren teachers, students and parents,” Hanson said. “We placed a high priority and intense focus on meeting our third graders where they were and working extremely hard in preparing them to be proficient readers. Although we are very proud of having the largest growth in Marion County, we recognize that we had the most room to grow.” Warren tested with a 69.8% reading proficiency rate. While these numbers are not as good as they were before COVID-19, Associate Superintendent Ryan Russell said the township is rebounding and attempting to grow to 95% reading proficiency rate in the next five or so years. Current third graders were not in school when COVID-19 shut down schools. Because of this, Russell said, certain learning skills may have been stunted in past years for third graders, but this year that may not be true. With this goal in mind, targeting students before they hit third grade will prepare them for the test.

“We take a look into students at all levels, specifically our second graders because they have to take the IREAD test to see where they are at,” Russell said. Even before COVID-19, Warren Township had set a plan in order to help increase overall reading proficiency, and learning. “Warren has been focused on the Science of Reading or Brain-Based Literacy for a few years, going back just before the pandemic,” Hanson said. “I believe that the growth our students experienced last year was a result of the training and commitment that our K-3 teachers have made since that time. I anticipate other schools who are also investing in the Science of Reading will also see improved IREAD3 results.” According to school leaders, if there is a push to increase these reading scores and proficiency when a student is younger, the likelihood of success in school when older is much higher. “The longer a student struggles with reading the harder each year gets,” freshman English teacher Ben Phillips said. “So if [students] don’t get caught up between third grade and freshman year it is detrimental.” Contrary to popular belief, the focus to help increase reading proficiency does not just happen in the classroom. Parents and caregivers who read with their student or encourage their student to read will naturally increase their students reading proficiency. Teachers are not 100% responsible for a student’s reading proficiency. Dr. Hanson recommends these tips for parents to help their students increase reading proficiency: 1. Make the time to read to and with their kids as much as they can. 2. Find out what their child is interested in and utilize the Indianapolis Public Library for books on those topics. 3. Have ongoing conversations with their child’s teacher. 4. Participate in school and district events that celebrate and support reading development. 5. Maintain a school attendance rate of 95% or higher.

Teachers and students get used to new construction phase

By Kaydon Spivey Feature Editor

tudents may have noticed some different room numbers on their schedules this semester. This came as a result of the high school’s newest phase of construction, which temporarily relocated several teachers throughout the building. Bre Brown, the associate principal, spoke about some of the construction happening around the building, particularly in the main central building. “Some of the things that are in the high school are from the 60s, so the classrooms are getting new heating and cooling systems,” she said. “The bathrooms are being redone. The rooms will also get new floors, paint and cabinets. We also have to fix the plumbing systems in the high school due to them becoming old.” According to Brown, the construction will continue to move in phases until the main middle part of the high school is completely remodeled. The Freshman Academy has not gone without its own renovations, though. “The Freshman Academy got all new furniture over

Christmas break,” Brown said. “They got 1100 new desks moved into classrooms. That is mostly the only thing they are getting during the construction time right now because that part of the school is mostly finished and up to date.” Randy Hudgins was one of the teachers who was moved due to construction. “We knew throughout the first semester that we would have to move due to construction,” Hudgins said. “The last couple weeks of the semester we moved items from the classrooms and there were a lot of areas that we could store items that weren’t moveable.” Brian Miller talked about moving out of his classroom also. “I’ve been in that classroom for 10 years, so obviously there would be tons of items that needed to be moved, but the process wasn’t very strenuous,” Miller said. There isn’t an exact date for when the classrooms will be moved back to their original rooms, but it is expected to be around the start of next year, at which time another chunk of classrooms will be moved.

LESSER KNOWN HEROES Paying tribute to icons during Black History Month

By Isis Webster Staff Writter

lack History Month is a time to celebrate Black people throughout history, what they did and the struggles they faced. It is important to note, though, that remembering people should not only be in February but year round because of their importance to American history. Usually during Black History Month, schools and most people tend to focus on Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and Ruby Bridges. While they are very important to the Black struggle, they were not the only people fighting and making a difference. Some people do not get the recognition they deserve. Bayard Rustin was a leader in social movements for civil rights, born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, on March 17, 1912. He organized many protests from the 1940s to the 1960s as well as organizing the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, according to Stanford University’s King Institute. Rustin also supported LGBTQ+ rights, labor rights, nuclear disarmament and international human rights activism. Rustin himself was openly part of the LGBTQ+ community. One of his famous quotes was, “When an individual is protesting society’s refusal to acknowledge his dignity as a human being, his very act of protest confers dignity on him.” Gordon Parks was a filmmaker born on Nov. 30, 1912, in Fort Scott, Kansas. Parks was known for his photojournalism in the civil rights movement, and he contributed to the Blaxploitation films, a genre aimed at appealing to Black urban audiences. Parks became a staff photographer for Life magazine in 1948 and the first African American to be hired by the magazine, according to his foundation website. One of his sayings was, “I have, for a long time, worked under the premise that everyone is worth something; that every life is valuable to our own existence. Consequently, I’ve felt it was my camera’s responsibility to shed light on any condition that hinders growth or warps the spirit of those trapped in the ruinous evils of poverty… To me they were ghosts of my own past.” Marsha P. Johnson was a well-known and distinguished figure in the gay rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s in New York

City. Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on Aug. 24, 1945, Johnson was born male but transitioned to becoming a woman and was determined to fight for the rights of others. She made sure to help people who were also transitioning and did not have the support group for it. In 1970, Johnson and Sylvia Rivera created STAR and STAR House, which supports young trans people who have been disowned by their loved ones, according to the National Women’s History Museum. One of her famous quotes was, “I don’t think you should be ashamed of anybody you know that has AIDS. You should stand as close to them as you can and help them out as much as you can. I’m a strong believer in that and that’s why I try to do that for everyone I know has the virus.” Gil Scott-Heron, also referred to as the “Godfather of rap,” was born in Chicago, Illinois, on April 1, 1949. Scott-Heron was a known songwriter and musician who helped to bring awareness to the lack of media coverage surrounding civil rights activists, according to his website. His poem “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” became a call to action in the 1960s. “I’ve always had questions about what it meant to be a protester, to be in the minority. Are the people who are trying to find peace, who are trying to have the Constitution apply to everybody, are they really the radicals? We’re not protesting from the outside. We’re inside,” was one of Scott-Heron’s well known quotes. Ella Baker was born in 1903 in Norfolk, Virginia. She grew up listening to stories her grandparents told her about being enslaved. She began to work with the Young Negroes’ Cooperative League, which aimed to help Black people gain economic independence. In 1941, Baker got a new job as a field secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). She spent the next three years traveling through the Deep South, recruiting members, raising money, and spreading awareness about the importance of civil rights, according to her website. In 1964 Baker said, “Until the killing of Black men, Black mothers’ sons, becomes as important to the rest of the country as the killing of a white mother’s son, we who believe in freedom cannot rest until this happens.”

NEW SOUNDS AND SIGHTS 2Smoove brings R&B music to Warren Central By Cameron Harris Editor-in-Chief

new music group has emerged out of the Performing Arts Center. Composed of student musicians, the band 2Smoove brings an R&B style of music into the Warrior Nation. 2Smoove is made up of former and current Warren Central students Jalen Brailey, Ja’ir Cross, Sophie Eastman, Kaleb Kincy, Anthony Proctor, Imani Ruffin and Quincy Stewart. One interesting fact about this group that separates them from others is that they do not have set roles or instruments. They are all flexible as to what they do for a certain performance or song. 2Smoove started together on Sep. 4 of last year and have never looked back. The members all came together and decided that they wanted to combine their talents in the form of a band. “We got started because we all love music and all want to achieve the

They are excited to be able to play at these venues and are hoping to continue these experiences. One of these group members, Quincy Stewart, also known as “quinC” for his music, has been putting out his own music for years on music platforms like spotify. His most popular song so far in his career is called “fine.mp3” which has over 25,000 plays on Spotify. Stewart is bringing experience to this new band, and is excited to keep working with them. “I’ve been making music for years and after expanding the interest with close friends, we turned it into a way to display the talent we have in our own community,” Stewart said. As they go further into the year and think about their future, they have a lot to consider. More of the band members will be graduating after this school year, which may prove to be difficult for them. However, they remain positive in their thinking and plan on remaining together and continuing to make music. “Our plan is to keep it up outside of high school and still keep performing,” Cross said. Their hopes go beyond just continuing to perform together, though, as they have goals to keep growing their audience and make a bigger impact with their music. “The goal of the band is to get more recognition so that we can partake in more gigs and perform for more people and places,” Ruffin said. In the long term, 2Smoove is excited to continue their music making and do everything they can together while they can. “The goal is to take this as far as we can and try to achieve everything we can in the music industry as a group and as individuals,” Proctor said.

GHOSTS OF “NEW EDEN” L

Upcoming roleplaying game messes with the supernatural By Qaden Childs Entertainment Editor

ife to the living, death to the dead. Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is a new role-playing action game based around the supernatural. The game has not been released yet, so the exact plot is a complete mystery. However, the main premise of the game is that the players take control of Red Mac Raith, a ghost hunter who is on a quest with the spirit of his departed lover, Antea Duarte, to either resurrect her or free her from the afterlife. The game company that is making the game may be making another nominee for Game of The Year. Don’t Nod Entertainment SA, a French video game developer and publisher, helped make the game along with Focus Entertainment. It was founded on May 1, 2008, by Hervé Bonin, Aleksi Briclot, Alain Damasio, Oskar Guilbert, and Jean-Maxime Moris, alongside former staff from Criterion Games, Ubisoft and Electronic Arts. The company started when they developed their first game, Remember Me, in 2013,

before moving on and making more game titles like Life is Strange, Vampyr, Tell Me Why, and Twin Mirror, to name a few. Much like the plot, the mechanics of the game are unknown at the moment. However, a preview of the game shows that for combat, players can freely swap between Red and Antea at will, utilizing Red’s physical realm tools and Antea’s new spiritual powers to fight undead spirits. However, the player can’t play as Antea forever, as there seems to be a meter that drains while the player fights as Antea. All in all, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden looks like an amazing game that could help jumpstart other great games like it throughout this new year. The game comes out Feb. 13 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Microsoft Windows and can be pre-ordered at a price of either $49.99 or $59.99.

TETSU NO KEN

New game becomes the newest addition to beloved game series

By Qaden Childs Entertainment Editor

ists meet fate in this intense tournament of strength. Tekken 8 is a new fighting game and is the eighth addition to the Tekken series. For those who don’t know, Tekken is a Japanese fighting game series that focuses on The King of Iron Fist Tournament, hosted by the Mishima Zaibatsu, a large-scale business conglomerate. The game begins with lore, stating that six months after the previous game, Jin Kazama and the Yggdrasil Rebel Army ambushes Kazuya Mishima, the game’s main antagonist, in Manhattan. This surprise attack fails as Jin is knocked unconcious and millions die from the battle, which helps jumpstart Kazuya’s war against the world while he announces a new King of Iron Fist Tournament. In this tournament, representatives of numerous nations all around the world fight one another, with the cost of defeat being their nation facing imminent destruction. After a week spent for him to recover from his wounds, Jin must now team up with the dreges of the rebellion alongside the other King of Iron Fist combatants to fight against Kazuya’s G Forces, before ending one of gaming’s most iconic rivalries to date, with the player being the one who decides who wins and who loses. Bandai Namco has resurrected one of the most iconic gaming series. Bandai Namco Entertainment is a Japanese multinational video game publisher owned by Bandai Namco Holdings, a merger formed from two separate companies Bandai and Namco. The gaming company was founded in January 2006 under Bandai Namco Game Inc. before being brought into reality by merging Bandai and Namco’s home entertainment, arcade games, and mobile content. After a few months,

the company then developed and published its first game Kidou Senshi Gundam Seed Destiny: Rengou vs. Z.A.F.T. II before moving on and eventually gaining enough traction to create dozens upon hundreds of amazing games. A few examples of their works are Dark Souls, PacMan, God Eater, Elder Ring, and Little Nightmares. Bandai has even taken a few brief dips into the anime community, publishing games based on anime series such as Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, and My Hero Academia. The mechanics for Tekken 8 have not changed much, as the company wishes for the game to stick to the formula they devised for its predecessors. However, there have been new additions and improvements to the game itself. For starters, the gameplay now focuses on aggressiveness, rewarding players who play more aggressively than those who stick to a defensive front. Following this, a new mechanic named Heat has been added, which can not only grant its user chip damage and additional moves but change the properties of a few moves a certain character may have. Beyond those, there are only small changes, such as more cinematic backgrounds, a focus on stage destruction and a character’s reaction to it, new models and voice lines, and powering the game with Unreal Engine 5, making Tekken 8 the only game so far to utilize this engine. Finishing up, Tekken 8 is a grand addition to the Tekken bloodline, bringing its flair to the series yet still adhering to the formula the past games have done. The game came out on Jan. 26 and is available to be played on the PC, Xbox, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. The price range depends on the version of the game. The standard version costs $69.99, and the deluxe version costs $99.99.

BACK FOR ANOTHER SHOW T

Mario battles Donkey Kong for the eighth time By Kaydon Spivey Feature Editor

wo of the most well-known characters in all of gaming history and Nintendo’s best, Mario and Donkey Kong, are back for battle this year, in the latest installment of the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series. They both have been staples in the gaming world since the 1980s. Donkey Kong’s first game came in 1981, where it was a platform game. The player would play as Mario and would try to save Pauline from Donkey Kong. It was Nintendo’s first game to garner worldwide success. The very first solo Mario game started as an arcade game in 1983, but in 1986 when they created Super Mario Bros on the NES it single-handedly saved the video game industry in North America after the video game crash of 1983. Ever since then, Mario has grown to be a national icon and has been the subject of 50 video games, three movies, and three TV shows that all were successful. The creator of this video game is Nintendo, which is one of the most well-known companies in the entire world. It was started in 1889 by a Japanese man named Fusajiro Yamauchi. The company made its first gaming console in 1977, and since then they have made 14 gaming consoles. They have made the previous seven installments of Mario vs. Donkey Kong games. Mario vs. Donkey Kong (2024) will be a remake of the first game that came out in 2004. The main goal of this game is for Mario to avoid traps that

Donkey Kong has set so that Mario can rescue the mini Marios that Donkey Kong has taken. There have been a multitude of new features added to this remake, one of those being a local co-op mode. There will be one player playing as Mario and the other player playing as Toad. In this game, there will be 130 levels and 16 expert levels, which is a substantial increase because the original game had 90 levels and 12 expert stages. The reason for the increase in the number of levels is that there will be two new worlds that are included in the game. One of these places is called Slippery Summit, which is an icy cave, and the other world is called Merry Mini-Land, which is a circus fairground. Both of these have their own added challenges such as slippery ground, icicle spikes and flowers that blow dangerous objects towards the player. Something else new that was added is that after a player has completed the main story they unlock a mode called Time Attack. In this mode, they replay the story while trying to complete each level as fast as they can. This game is set to release on Feb. 16. It is recommended for players who enjoy solving puzzles and having cartoonish fun. The game will be available exclusively on the Nintendo Switch, and it will be sold at the price of $49.99.

CAUGHT IN HER WEB

New movie delves deeper into MCU Spiderverse By Isis Webster Staff Writer

adame Web will be coming to big screens on Feb. 14, as the titular character will be making her debut in Sony’s spider-centric multiverse. The creators have decided since not much is known about Web in her early life they will be creating a new origin story for her. This movie will follow Cassandra Webb, who is a paramedic who develops special abilities such as clairvoyance and her ability to see into the “spider world” and the future. This sets her on a path to save a group of girls, Julia Carpenter, Anya Corazon and Mattie Franklin, who are being targeted by Ezekiel Sims, a well-known ally of Spider-Man in the comics that Sony intends to change and make the villain of this film. The comic book character Madame Web is the basis of the movie, but Sony has changed fundamental things about her character. In the comics, Cassandra Webb was suffering from a lifetime of blindness and years of neurological deterioration due to myasthenia gravis, a “chronic autoimmune disorder in which antibodies destroy the communication between nerves and muscles, resulting in weakness of the skeletal muscles,” according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.

ENTERTAINMENT

Instead, the movie made her a character who can see and does not have these problems as of now. The group of girls that are being hunted in the comics have all taken the mantle of Spider-Girl or Spider-Woman. This leads Sims to kill them to change what happens to them, altering the future. Webb sees the death of these girls in visions and rushes to prevent them. Among the cast of “Madame Web,” there are many well-known actresses such as Dakota Johnson, who will be playing Cassandra Webb. Johnson has been a part of many films in the past years, whether it be the main character or a side character. Sydney Sweeney will be taking on the role of Julia Carpenter, who in the comics is known as Spider-Woman. Sweeney has been in many different films and shows. She is best known for her roles in “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus.” The director S.J. Clarkson is a director who has worked in both the UK and the US directing TV shows and films. Clarkson is best known for directing things such as “Anatomy of a Scandal” by Sarah Vaughan, which was in the Global Top 10 for most-watched English language series for five weeks on Netflix. She also directed an episode of the Emmy-winning series “Succession,” and she was also the lead director for the Defenders.

SHOOTING FOR THE STARS Boys basketball team reflects on their season so far

by Cameron Harris Editor-in-Chief

t was a conference game in the middle of December. Warren Central had their biggest home game of the year against the defending state champions. When they beat Ben Davis 65-60 in that game, the Warriors proved that they can compete with the best in the state. Since that game, the Warriors have had difficult matches against teams such as Hamilton Southeastern, Lawrence North, and Franklin Central. In all of these games, Warren got off to a strong start, but in the Lawrence North game at home, and in the Franklin Central game in the county tournament semifinals, they could not hold onto their lead. Having games against these more difficult teams prepares and trains players to go against the best of the best and play the best they can at all times. As the team moves forward in the season, they are reflecting on some places they have seen growth this season. Some of those aspects include their defense and their ability to play hard during the entirety of the game. To put the growth that the Warriors’ defense has had in perspective, they started their season giving up 92 points to Cathedral and then only allowing No. 1-ranked Lawrence North to score 62 points, the second least amount of points they have scored this entire season. “I think our defense has gotten better,” head coach Criss Beyers said. “Most facets of the game have gotten better.”

As Warren looks forward to the rest of their season, they have a couple of big games against rival Carmel and conference opponent Pike. After closing out the regular season in about two and a half weeks, the Warriors will look forward to their postseason and their state championship hopes. The Warriors are in one of the hardest sectionals in the state, being grouped with topranked teams such as Cathedral, Crispus Attucks and Lawrence North. The winner of this sectional has been very successful in the rest of the tournament, so if Warren can play to the best of their ability during the sectional, they have a chance to go all the way. “We go one game at a time,” Beyers said. “Our goal is to play the best basketball at the end of the season.” Warren’s outlook on things come postseason time is simple. They want to be at the point where they can compete with any team. If they have the ability to beat any team, it gives them the chance to actually do it. “There’s no one that we cannot beat if we do what we’re capable of doing,” Beyers said.

TOTAL TAKEDOWN

Boys wrestling paves its own pathway to success

By Caden Kerr Sports Editor

rom hard earned county victory to a takedown at the M.I.C. tournament, Warren Central’s boys wrestling team has had lots of success this year. After placing fourth in the state finals last year, the team’s hopes of winning it all this year are in sight. Winning M.I.C. was hard and tiring, but the team rose above all the challenges, becoming M.I.C. champions once again. Senior wrestler Kyrel Leavell won his fourth M.I.C. tournament, as well as this year winning his fourth county tournament. Victories in these tournaments “really helps the mentality,” according to Leavell, because he knows more of what to expect in other matches. “I’ve done it. I won it four times,” he said. “I’ve competed with some pretty good kids, so winning those four times and being able to have the experience with those two tournaments definitely helps going into other tough tournaments and seeing other tough opponents.” Winning and performing well is not all that this team wants, though. Coach Jacob O’Neill encourages healthy lifestyles even after big accomplishments like winning M.I.C. “After winning the M.I.C., my hopes for wrestlers as they go into sectionals and beyond is that they stay physically healthy, emotionally solid and psychologically focused,” O’Neill said. Wrestlers who are successful on their own realize that none of this would be possible without their coaches. From giving extra support on the mat to reinforcing principles of succeeding at life, Warren coaches play a huge role into how wrestlers view the sport.

“They’ve done so much to help us succeed,” senior Kristian Blake said. “Giving us some of the best opportunities to compete and teaching us how to win and have fun while doing what we love.” With wrestlers accomplishing so much this season, practice and preparedness is key to helping with improving wrestlers’ skills and abilities, especially with sectionals approaching. Because of this, wrestlers like senior Brenton Russell have set high goals for themselves. “We don’t take breaks,” Russell said. “What’s the point in being good if you can’t win state?” For some wrestlers, while preparing for a big matchup is important, taking a more mental approach is also key to how they might succeed in sectionals and onward, and coaches have helped take time to help wrestlers realize how a mental approach can work to their benefit. “The coach has helped the kids on the team focus on the mental aspect and believe in themselves and get in shape with great practices,” senior Waylon Cressell said. “The athletes have trained harder because they are starting to believe in themselves and have confidence in themselves.” Coaching has been a big impact in the upbringing of many wrestlers this season. Coach O’Neill recognizes this. “Coaching has led to the success of the team and wrestlers by being steady and consistent with love and understanding, balancing it with high expectations and tough love,” he said.

A TRUE STUDENT-ATHLETE

Xavier Mattox dives into his textbooks

By Caden Kerr Sports Editor

unior Xavier Mattox makes every lap count, while his credits mount. Mattox is not just a swimmer, and he’s not just a student. He’s a student athlete. Balancing school with any sport is difficult, but for Mattox, school and swimming come naturally. His secret to get good grades while being committed to swimming? “Just get your work done in class,” Mattox said. He has been swimming for 10 years. He started swimming as a hobby and later developed into swimming for Warren. Being influenced by family and friends, Mattox has gotten better and more confident in the sport over the years, starting from when he was just learning to swim, to now being cheered on as he competitively swims. Alongside being confident in the pool, Mattox has also gained confidence in the classroom. He is taking Dual Credit ACP U.S. History, Dual Credit Literature and Physics. These are among the more challenging classes offered at Warren. Mattox occasionally also helps out at Warren’s middle school swimming practices, helping motivate and give advice to the younger swimmers. “He encourages me and is funny,” middle school swimmer Colton Kerr said. “He mostly jokes around and tells us not to take as long of breaks between 50s.” Mattox doesn’t just motivate the middle school team. He also encourages his own teammates. Teammate Jeff Bray appreciates the motivation and

SPORTS

believes it is great for the team. “Xavier is a good guy and a good teammate,” Bray said. “He motivates the new swimmers to help them get through a meet.” In the same way that he motivates his teammates, Mattox is cheered on by fellow teammates too. The team wants to see Mattox swim his best and show off his talent. “I think personally the entire boy’s team motivates him to keep pushing,” Landon Bryk said. “When we all play games with each other, and just have good talks, I think he gets motivated off of those things.” With sectionals coming up, Mattox hopes to place well, and he also hopes that MIC rival North Central loses. Arguably more importantly, Mattox looks forward to the remainder of his senior swim season. Mattox has a lot of goals for his senior season, including breaking 50 seconds in the freestyle and going to state. “It means that I made it and it would give me a sense of accomplishment because not very many swimmers from our school can make it,” he said. With all of these athletic goals, Mattox is still committed to getting good grades and pushing himself to be the best student athlete possible. “It’s not that hard if you pay attention and get to the pool on time, [after practice] I can work on school work,” Mattox said.

BACK ON TRACK

Lady Warriors get started on indoor track season

By Cameron Harris Editor-in-Chief

t is that time of the year again, and the Lady Warriors track team is prepared to make a statement. After coming up one point short in outdoor track and field state finals last season, the team is more motivated than ever to win it all. Now, the indoor track season is much different from the outdoor season. From the material they run on to the different events there are, indoor track can yield completely different results than outdoor track. “Running one lap around 200 is different from 400 based on the turns, and the surface is softer outdoors,” senior Laila Smith said. Another difference between the two is the pure space that athletes are allotted during their events. Unlike in outdoor track, runners specifically are bunched together right up against the crowd. “Indoors the facility is so much smaller, so when you’re running you can literally see and feel people right next to you,” senior Jila Vaden said. Still, the indoor track season is just as important as the outdoor one because of how telling it can be for how the rest of the season turns out. The Lady Warriors have been preparing for this upcoming season by holding indoor practices many times each week in an effort to train athletes to be at

the best of their ability. “I’m looking forward to competing, getting better as a team and improving from last year,” Smith said. Last year, the Lady Warriors, along with their male counterparts, won the conference title for indoor track, and that will be a milestone they hope to reach once again. To do this, though, they will need to be on a more united front, which is something of which the leaders on the team have taken notice. “[We are] working on being together instead of everyone individually,” Smith said. Of course, track being a sport where people individually compete for the good of a team, it is important to have athletes who will make a significant impact on the team. In terms of how these athletes go together and how they compete for each other, the chemistry between teammates is very important to the team and has been a main focus of improment. “I think the team chemistry is better than last year,” Smith said. “We are still getting to know people.” Overall, the Lady Warriors are excited to get to work this season and do everything they are capable of doing. “We’re tired of losing by one point, so we’re coming for everything,” Vaden said.

FAST LANE TO STATE

Makayla Hampton finds herself in the state championship

By Cameron Harris Editor-in-Chief

arren Central’s Makayla Hampton is officially state-bound for bowling. Overall, the bowling team did an amazing job this goaround. They had an exceptional regular season, with 12 wins and only 8 losses. Two of Warren Central’s Warriors placed second in the top ten for their regular season point average – Hampton for the girls, with an average of 216 pins, and Bobby Stephenson for the boys, with an average of 174 pins. The Warriors walked through the regular season, and now Hampton is running through the postseason. According to the Indiana Bowling Centers Association, Hampton scored sixth in girls singles during sectionals with a score of 492, second in girls singles during regionals with a score of 554, and eighth in girls singles during semi-state with a score of 527. The forward progress in her postseason is not surprising for Hampton, though. She has been bowling competitively her whole life after her family introduced her to the sport, and she said she expects nothing less from herself. Not only is she excited for this opportunity, but her teammates and coaches are as well. Her teammate Bobby Stephenson believes that she can win the whole thing and is encouraging her to do

just that. “She is a hard-working student and person in general,” Stephenson said. “She is a great human and I don’t know anyone who deserves it more than her.” Along with her teammates, her coaches are also very proud of what she has done this season. They have been thrilled to see how she has grown into a leader for the bowling team. But it is not only her growth as a leader that impresses them. It is her growth in every aspect of the game. “She did a great job of helping the other kids stay positive and offered advice to help the newer bowlers improve their bowling,” head coach Paul Willis said. “Makayla has also improved in her ability to stay focused during matches and avoid letting little mistakes get in her head as well as continuing to improve her own skills which has led to consistently higher scores at matches.” Ultimately this is the experience of a lifetime for this young student athlete, and she is going to make the most of it. She is excited to be in the position she is in and expects not only to perform well, but make good memories as well. “These are girls that I bowl with other than just high school bowling, so it’s just bowling with my friends honestly,” Hampton said.
