MHS, PHS look to continue unbeaten runs

The cliche one game at a time has a more significant meaning for the Monache and Porterville High football teams than it has had in a long time. Looming down the road is a potential showdown in the Granite Bowl for the Marauders and Panthers on October 30 in which both teams are 4-0 in league play. It would be only second time in the history of the series in which both teams would come into the Granite Bowl unbeaten in league play with the other time coming in 1991.

Student of Character: Freddy Gonzalez Hernandez

Comment: Faviola Hobbs says, "Freddy is a responsible, kind, honest, and hardworking student. He demonstrates his responsibility by applying the skills he has learned in his pathway around campus. If Freddy sees something that needs fixing or doing, he is a self-starter who will point it out and ask to take care of it. He always asks what he can do next to be helpful and is never sitting idle. I see Freddy’s strong work ethic in how he carries out his tasks, ensures they are completed thoroughly, and takes pride in his work. If he doesn't have enough time to finish, he lets me know ahead of time, and the next time he is in class, he immediately resumes the task without needing to be reminded."

In the sea of Porterville High School, is there a fish for you?

As the phrase goes, there are plenty of fish in the sea. But how do you figure out which fish is for you? Why don’t we ask our fellow panthers at Porterville High School. On September 25, students on campus explored a range of topics, from serious discussions about cheating and breakups to lighthearted conversations about hypothetical scenarios and their preferred qualities in a partner. Their opinion can also act as advice for those who are unsure of what to do or what they should look for in a relationship. If you’re looking for an entertaining read session, this is the article for you. Through a series of interviews students shared their advice about past or current relationships.
