Weeks before the 22nd,
when walking the halls, Channing students could hear the
young voices of the elementary practicing for the Christmas play. During the last
hours of school, directors, Mr.
Ross and Mrs. Crain worked
diligently with the elementary
students, perfecting the act.
Mrs. Crain has been
directing the Christmas plays
for sixteen years. The job became her responsibility when
no music teacher was there
to take it. She picks her plays
from the internet by which
one that has music that best

appeals to the elementary students. Her favorite play she
has directed was “Christmas
at the OK Corral,” and one
of the funniest experiences
she remembers was when
Kim Gambrell, now a senior,
slipped and fell in the actual
showing of the play. After sixteen years, Mrs. Crain handed
responsibility of director over
to Mr. Ross this year, but continued to help him as his assistant.
Before the Christmas
play began, the junior class
served a meal that included
enchiladas, which were made
by them under the watchful
eye of Beverly Lovato, salad,
rice, and sopapilla cheesecake. Following dinner, the
junior high and high school
choirs sang Christmas music
to entertain the audience prior
to the play beginning.
Then finally the moment everyone was waiting
for the elementary students
were ready to show the city
of Channing what they had
accomplished. The Play,
“North Pole Star,” which is
taken from the hit reality TV
series “American Idol,” with
a Christmas twist. Complete

hopes were high due to their
10 point win over the Junior
High Lady Bobcats just days
earlier. As the game started,
the Junior High Lady Eagles
quickly realized that
this game was not going to be as easy as
their last game. Sticking with Pringle Morse
the entire game, the
Junior High Lady Bobcats started to pull away
during the end of the
fourth quarter. Down

High Lady Eagles frantically searched for an open

away, Makenzie Ford, 8th,
found an opening and shot a
three point shot and scored!
Now tied with 11 seconds
left, the Junior High Lady
Bobcats inbounded the ball
and instantaneously walked,
resulting in the possession to
go back to the Junior High
Lady Eagles. With the ball
underneath the basket, Callie Shipley, 8th, snuck a pass
into Makenzie right underneath the basket and Makenzie’s shot spun on the rim
and…did not go in. With a
quick rebound, the Junior
High Lady Bobcats drove
the ball down the court and
scored with 2 seconds left.
With tears and low spirits,
the Junior High Lady Eagles
retreated to the locker room
with a loss of 2 points. “I’ve
never wanted to win a game
that bad,” Makenzie said.
“This stinks.”

Pre-Season Comes to an End
Starting off their first
game of the new year, the
Eagles and Lady Eagles
traveled to the Frank Phillips College Gym in Borger to face off against the
McLean Tigers. After three
years of losing to McLean,
the last year second place
team in the State, the Lady
Eagles felt they had some
unfinished business to take
care of. However, the Lady
Eagles did not start off the
game with the intensity they
needed to and let the Lady
Tigers run up the score.
Making too many mistakes
and misses too many passes,
the Lady Eagles lost to the

the Eagles ran the score up.
Getting comfortable with
their lead, the Eagles started fouling and gave the Tigers uncontested free-throw
shots that helped them ease
back into the game. As the
Tigers began to score, the
Eagles found it hard to get
the ball down the court, under control, in order to get a
shot off. Hanging on to their
lead by a thread, the Eagles
fought to keep control of the
game. With the clock winding down, the Tigers began
to foul in order to try and
get the ball back. Finally going into one –in – one, the
Eagles’ made free-throws
helped them keep control
of the game, and the Eagles
won the game by a mere five
points.
Originally scheduled
to play at the Box in Canyon,
the Channing Eagles and
Lady Eagles re-routed their
destination to the Courts
of Amarillo to play against
the Amarillo Flames. With
Carla Adair, 11th, out for
the season and started Danae Parman, 11th, out with
an ankle injury, the Lady Eagles were in a similar position as they were during the
Groom Tournament. Starting out the game, the Lady
Eagles quickly got a couple
of baskets, but began having
trouble catching the ball and
stopping the Lady Flames on
defense. Despite their mistakes, the Lady Eagles were
able to keep their lead and

Eagles came out flat and
allowed the Lady Flames
some quick baskets. Slacking on defense and still having trouble catching the ball,
the Lady Eagles found their
lead disintegrating. With
the minutes slowly ticking
down, the Lady Eagles tried
to slow down and pass the
ball around, but still could
not keep the ball in their possession. Regardless of their
mistakes, the Lady Eagles
managed to pull out a win
with a score of 45 to 37.
After the last time the
Eagles played the Flames,
the Eagles dominated the
game. Consequently, the Eagles suspected an easy game
and were quickly proven
otherwise. The team who
had the lead flipped back
and forth frequently during
the first quarter. However,
the Eagles found themselves
struggling to keep the Flames
from scoring and found
themselves in foul trouble
quickly. With point guard
Austin Lindsay, 10th, on
the bench due to foul
trouble, the rest of the
Eagles had to step up.
Managing well against
the Flames’ press, the
Eagles were still having

quarter, the Eagles

Homecoming
After All
By Mackenzzie McLain
If strangers were to walk through the
doors of Channing School during homecoming week, chances are they would think we
had all lost our minds. During the week the
students get a chance to show their school spirit with the many different days such as Pajama
Day, Crazy Day, Retro Day, Cowboy Day, and
Spirit Day.
To the students at Homecoming Week
is a big deal. Most students love to dress up
and show the other side of themselves. Not
only does Homecoming Week affect the way
everyone dresses for a week, it shows a big
change in the students’ attitudes. During the
week, all of the students
seem very excited and are
always waiting for the next
day. What they will come
up with next is always a surprise.
Going up for the shot,
junior Willie Morris’ opponent tries to knock the
ball from behind.
On Friday, January 7, the
Channing Eagles and Lady Eagles
finally got to have their homecoming game, but this time, they would be playing
the Holy Cross Mustangs. As the Lady Eagles
started their warm ups for the game, wing Danae Parman, 11th, twisted an ankle and gave the
girls a scare. Luckily, she was still able to move
on it and played the majority of the game, until
she twisted it again, this time landing her on the
bench with a bag of ice for her ankle. The Lady
Eagles started the game off a little slowly, but
managed to inch forward little by little catching
up to the Lady Mustangs. By halftime, the Lady
Eagles were up 22 to 19. Starting the second half,
the Lady Eagles’ point guard Mackenzie McLain,
12th, fouled out half way through the third quarter
and the rest of the team struggled to get the ball
down the court and score against the Lady Mustangs’ defense. Regardless of the fact that two of Manuvering past her Holy Cross optheir starters were on the bench, one with an inju- ponent, Mackenzie McLain, 12th,
ry and the other fouled out, the Lady Eagles never goes in for a lay-up.

“Homecoming Week is
so great because it shows all
the school’s team spirit.” Wesley Darcy 12th said.
It is great that Homecoming Week has such an
affect on all of the students,
but its biggest affect is on the
players. It is a week that shows
the basketball players that the
students and staff are behind
them and supporting them one
hundred percent.
“I think homecoming
week is an awesome idea. It
gives the students a chance to
show their creative side, and it
shows that we all support the
basketball players.” Austin
Wallace, 11th, said.
Homecoming is a week
that brings fun and excitement
to the student body. Although
it only comes once a year, students are always looking forward to the next year.
gave up but lost to Holy Cross with
a score of 32 to 43.
The Channing Eagles’ chances were looking pretty good before
the game started, seeing as the Holy
Cross Mustangs only had 5 players; and when the game started, the
Eagles’ chances were looking even
better. The Eagles started off the
game with a bang and quickly drove
up the score on the Mustangs and
kept pressure on them with their full
court press holding the Mustangs to
only 3 points the first quarter. Keeping the Mustangs under control, the
Eagles went wild and finished the
half with a score of 33 to 14. Even
with subs coming off the bench frequently, the Eagles were still able to
control the Mustangs while driving
up their score even more. The Eagles effortlessly took the win with a
score of 66 to 27.

second quarter down by two.
The Lady Mustangs continued to score and increase
their lead, but the Lady
Eagles would then make a
run and come within a few
points of the Lady Mustangs.
With the clock ticking down,
the Lady Eagles were within three points of the Lady
Mustangs, and after a quick
basket, the Lady Eagles were
down by one and at the freethrow line. Planning to jump
on the defense immediately after the shot, the Lady
Eagles’ defense closed in
around the three point line,
leaving a Lady Mustang
wide open down the court.
After the missed free-throw,
the Lady Mustangs got the
rebound and sent a pass
down the court to the open
defender, who nailed the layup with less than five seconds on the clock. The Lady
Eagles lost with a score of 38
to 35.
Due to inadequate
grades, the Channing Eagles were minus two players, while the Holy Cross
Mustangs had gained one
more player. Regardless of
the numbers, the Eagles still
proved to be the stronger
team. Effortlessly running
up the score, the Eagles’ lead
was too much for the Mustangs to handle, along with
the Eagles’ defense. Despite
the rough game and poor
officiating, the Eagles held
their calm and held the Mustangs to 17 points. The Eagles took home another win
with a score 49 to 17.

A Season of It’s Own
Believe it or not, the
Channing Eagles and Lady
Eagles are now in District
play. In their first District
game, the Channing Eagles
and Lady Eagles hosted the
Texline Tornadoes at Channing on Tuesday the 18th.
The Lady Eagles were prepared for a tough game due
to having only 6 girls playing that night, compared
to the Lady Tornadoes’ 11
players. Focusing on having fun and building one
another up, the Lady Eagles
kept on fighting through the
Lady Tornadoes full court
press throughout the majority of the game. With posts
filling the places of the two
sick and missing wings,
getting the ball down the
court was difficult, but the
Lady Eagles still managed.
Managing to stay out of foul
trouble for the most part,
the Lady Eagles did not foul
anyone out until the fourth
quarter with 18.6 seconds
left in the game. Bringing their only substitute off
the bench, Jessica Miller,
9th, came in for Mackenzie McLain, 12th. Having a
hard time putting the ball in
the hole, the Lady Eagles
lost to the Lady Tornadoes
in their first District game
with a score of 55 to 21.
The Channing Eagles’ game started out
rough and only became
rougher. With tempers and
mouths flying, the Texline
Tornadoes’ behavior and
actions started to frustrate
and anger the Eagles and
their fans. The Tornadoes

speed aided them in scoring, along with the freethrows they continued to
get as the Eagles continued to foul. After a kick to
the face, a fan’s ejection,
and a moment of suspense
wondering whether or not
a technical may be called,
the Eagles seemed to have
given up. However, at the
start of the second half,
the Eagles gained a second wind and a fire was
lit. The Eagles flew about
on defense frustrating the
Tornadoes. Fouls continued
to be called on both sides
and before the game ended
three of the Eagles and two
of the Tornadoes fouled
out. With both sets of fans
loud and vocal, the Eagles
played off of their crowd’s
enthusiasm. Keeping up the
pressure, the Eagles tried
too hard to steal the ball on
defense and Richard Miller,
12th and the third Eagle to
foul out, received his 5th
foul, leaving only 4 Eagles
on the court. Out numbered
on the court, the Eagles still
attempted to score and keep
the pressure on the Tornadoes as best as they could.
Unable to catch up to the
Tornadoes lead, the Eagles
lost with a score of 77 to 60.
