Human Anatomy used microscopes to look at different types of tissues of the human body. They then reviewed their anatomical directions by playing a version of Battleship called "find my wound." They could only use anatomical terms to talk to their partners.
Forensics students learned about triangulating crime scenes and evidence and then later studied different types of search patterns by playing "Where's Waldo."

Lady Bluebird Volleyball: Cole Camp Junior High and Varsity teams traveled October 3rd to take on the Lady Vikings.
After a 5-5 start, the Jr High Lady Vikings went on a 13-2 march. That pretty well decided the 1st set as LaMonte won 25-16.
Nice reverse of fortunes in the 2nd set as Cole Camp built a 15-5 lead. They held that margin for a 25-14 win.
Third set was back in LaMonte's favor. A 7-1 lead early was enough to hold off a six-point string by Cole Camp with Jolee Espey serving. LaMonte won the 3rd set 15-11.
Because both schools have numerous girls on roster, a 4th set was played for additional court time. Cole Camp moved ahead 15-2 and finished it leading 25 -13.
No JV games so the varsity squads were next. LaMonte had a 7-10-1 record, more than double their wins over last year. However they were without one of their leaders due to an ankle injury.
Cole Camp took control early and didn't let up in the 1st set. With Marilyn Hesse serving 9, Cole Camp led 17-3. Olivia Pilant can play defense as well as setter, she had a very nice day early. Leah Allison is getting a better angle on her kill attempts and recorded several scores. Lady Bluebirds with a 25-8 win.
More of the same in the 2nd set. Andrea Dieckman served eight in a 12-2 start. Mandy Goosen several nice finishes off Madilynn Ogle assists. Cole Camp 25-9 in the second set.
In case some are not aware, Andrea Dieckman is a tall girl. Not sure exact height, but LaMonte likely felt she was about 7 ft tall. Dieckman had multiple blocks in each set! Regardless the score was tied at 16 midway through the 3rd set. Cole Camp then led 23-17, but a few Bluebird mistakes assisted the Vikings to pull within 24-23. At last, a Viking shot into the net sealed a 25-23 win for Cole Camp.
Kills-Dieckman 11, Goosen 10, Hesse 10, Allison 7
Digs-Hesse 9, Pilant 8, Goosen 7, Ogle 6
Assists-Pilant 19, Ogle 13
Blocks-Dieckman 14
