The final segment of this quarter, the 8th Grade has been engaged in reading Night by Elie Wiesel. This powerful book tells the story of a Holocaust survivor as he shares his traumatic experiences, including the loss of family while facing the darkness of humanity. Wiesel’s testimony highlights the importance of preventing such atrocities from happening again. Their culminating project involved creating a quilt patch that incorporates significant quotes and images related to the text. Additionally, they wrote a reflective piece about the book. Presenting their completed “Quilt” Project!

Cole Camp High School Boys Basketball: This recap of basketball games held on Farrington Court Dec. 17th facing Warsaw.
Prior to the JV boys game, the Warsaw Coach stated his team was "struggling". "We make good efforts, but sometimes hard to convert into points." That statement could apply to the Bluebirds season so far as well.
Trailing by 5 early, Cole Camp got on the board with a Blake Abey 3. Landon Bauer followed with a high arch 3, may have had a ceiling spider web on it as it ripped through the net! As long as it goes through the basket, Cole Camp will be glad to have it! Micah Davis added 2 baskets and Cole Camp led 10-8 after 1.
Will Espey with a basket mid 2nd qtr for the Bluebirds. Brett Burdick with a nice drive from the top of the circle to the basket for a layup. And Espey a basket at the buzzer for a Cole Camp 16-10 lead at halftime.
Can we just leave out the 3rd qtr? It was all Warsaw, as in 11 for them and 0 for Cole Camp. Therefore the Wildcats led 21-16 after 3.
Abey gave Cole Camp a spark in the last qtr with 2 steals and 6 points. Cole Camp led by 2 with 2 minutes to go, but Warsaw scored at 1:07. Tied at 26 at the end of regulation.
Three minutes of overtime and Warsaw made 4 of 6 freethrows while the Cole Camp basket remained empty. Final JV score was Warsaw 30, Cole Camp 26.
Scoring: Abey 9, Bauer 5, Espey 4, Davis 4, Loganbill 2, Burdick 2. Roman Reser, a 6'3" soph tallied 17 for the Wildcats.
Between games the following senior members of the boys basketball team were recognized. Patrick Allison, Kolby Bohon, Spencer Godwin, Joseph Hatfield, Connor Peterson and Colton Thompson. Best wishes to these young men in their final High School season!
Warsaw entered the varsity game with a 4-3 record. Cole Camp still looking for a victory.
Low scoring first qtr with baskets by Colton Dieckman, Kolby Bohon and Kolton Phillips for the Bluebirds. Junior Luke Henderson scored 6 of Warsaw's 8, most close range shots. Warsaw led 8-6 after 1.
To Blake Abey freethrows for Cole Camp in the 2nd qtr. Coach Shearer used two timeouts trying to devise a plan for better results. Meanwhile Warsaw added 11 for a 19-8 halftime margin.
Dasch Kaiser added 4 and Bohon 2 for Cole Camp in the 3rd. Cole Camp missed all 6 freethrow opportunities, and struggled defensively controlling Henderson. In the last 3:20 of the 3rd, he scored 10 while attacking the basket. Warsaw up 35 -14 after 3.
Connor Petersen with two fieldgoals in the last qtr. A nice drive to the basket for 2 by Brett Burdick. And through most of the game, Phillips was guarding Gemes, warsaw's leading scorer. Nice defensive effort for the sophmore! Final score Warsaw 45, Cole Camp 22.
Scoring: Bohon, Petersen, Dieckman, Kaiser 4 each. Phillips, Abey, Burdick 2 each. Luke Henderson with 20 leading Warsaw. Thank you to Arthur Keuper for this article!!

Cole Camp Bluebird Girls and Boys Basketball: The Lady Bluebirds were on the court at 6 p.m. on Dec. 12th facing the Lady Tigers. Versailles had a size advantage, mainly 6' 2" Kylee Richey. Well known for her volleyball accomplishments, she decided to play basketball this year after sitting out last year. Richey scored 8 of their 16 in the first qtr. Kaitlyn Whitworth a basket early and Leah Allison a 3 late accounted for Cole Camps' 5 in the first period.
Whitworth opened the 2nd with another basket. Freshman Allison showed some courage competing with Richey for rebounds. Payten Shoemaker with a two mid qtr followed by 4 from Marilyn Hesse. Later a long range 3 from Shoemaker brought Cole Camp within 8. However Versailles still led 28-16 at halftime.
MacKenzie Moellman the only basket in the 3rd qtr for Cole Camp. Versailles could just throw the ball up towards Richey and most of the time she caught it. But not always! On two distinct plays, Hesse got in front of Richey and jumped up high enough to steal the incoming ball. Good work! Versailles still ahead 39-18 after 3.
Last qtr mostly same as previous three. Maddie Flores dropped in a free throw late for the last score of the game. Versailles 48, Cole Camp 23.
Scoring: Whitworth 6, Shoemaker 5, Moellman 4, Hesse 4, Allison 3, Florez 1. Richey with 13 leading 9 Versailles players in scoring. Allison 6 rebounds, Thayer 5. Hesse 4 steals.
Varsity Boys next on court and a good effort from Kolton Phillips early. He scored 4 and denied a Versailles player a possible dunk on a breakaway. Versailles whistled for several fouls and Cole Camp made 6 of 8 freethrows. Still Versailles netted four 3's to lead 18-10 after 1.
Likely one of their better efforts so far for the varsity boys in the 2nd qtr. Kolby Bohon connected from downtown, Colton Dieckman scored 6 with 8-10 ft jump shots, then added a pair of free throws. Dasch Kaiser, Blake Abey and Connor Petersen all pitched in 2. Halftime score was Versailles 32, Cole Camp 28.
Only down by 4 at half, but how quickly the scenery changed in the 3rd. With a mix of 2's and 3's, the Tigers scored the first 22 of the qtr. Their defense caused several turnovers and so they led 58-32 after 3.
Bohon added 4 in the last qtr. Brett Burdick made two free throws and Spencer Godwin a fieldgoal. Final score of Versailles 68, Cole Camp 42.
Scoring: Bohon 11, Dieckman 10, Phillips 5, Petersen 4, Clark 3, Abey 3, Godwin 2, Kaiser 2, Burdick 2. Cole Camp made 15 of 20 freethrows. Reese Murdock had 24 for the Tigers. Thank you to Aurthur Keuper for this article!!!
