It is hard to believe that the year is drawing to an end. It seems that it has gone by very quickly. In a few days we will be saying goodbye to 46 seniors as they end their careers here at Hardin Northern and move on to bigger and better things. Some will go on to college, some will enter the military and others will begin working and raising a family of their own. Whatever they do, they can be sure that they have received an excellent education at Hardin Northern and that they are well prepared. We wish each and every one of them health and happiness and hope they always have fond memories of their days at Hardin Northern. …Read More (Download newsletter below) -Superintendent Doug Roberts

Varsity football, or not?

helena.luhn — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:36:12 +0000

We all know the controversy this year over whether we would have enough boys for a varsity team next year. Whether our freshman boys would be able to take the hits out there, or if we should just do junior varsity and eliminate Friday football games. Many argued that with Friday football games gone, there would be no more support from the community. Meaning, less parents at games, no cheerleaders, and no band. Others tried to blame our administration for wanting no more varsity games, but in turn they were only worried about not having enough boys step up and actually commit to the team. They were also worried about injuring some of the younger players, and not being able to play anyway.

There was a meeting to explain all of these concerns, but parents saw it as an ultimatum. Some attacked the administrators and complained, when they were only trying to explain the situation. It was a controversial issue that got the whole school concerned and aware of the problem at hand.

For some boys football is their life, and there was no way they were letting it go away. They gathered on their own and talked to their fellow classmates. As the word got around, more and more boys stood up and started signing contracts to commit themselves to football next year. As more people signed up, it was very apparent how much football meant to our school. Though, there were still the issues of hurting the younger boys on the field, many of the boys started lifting almost right away, to build up their strength and lessen the chance of injury.

Here are a few of the comments by the football players :

How did it make you feel when you first found out they were thinking of eliminating varsity football?
It made me angry to hear that all my hard work I’ve done the last 3 years would be wasted for nothing

If there hadn’t been varsity football would you be doing football next year?
No I would just lift.

Why are varsity football, and Friday night football games so important to you?
Because it was a dream to play under the lights ever since we were kids and now when it’s our turn we shouldn’t get that taken away.

According to coach Mast, the outlook for the upcoming baseball season looks very bright at Hardin Northern. A team consisting of 11 players will be led by a group of six seniors with a lot of experience. The polar bears will be looking to be competitive in every game and will expect to complete in the BVC this year. HN will be led by seniors Austin Roby, Reed Poling, Jacob Potter, Jacob Lozano, Patrick Stevenson and Colin Geiger. This group has been together at this level for the past four years and is looking to cap their high school careers with a successful season. Those seniors are joined by sophomores Brett Roby, Ethon Flowers and Jacob Gossard. All three saw action last season and should contribute significantly this season. Three newcomers will join the team this season. Playing for the first time will be Austin Miller, Kyle Lamb,. Each should add depth to Polar Bear lineup. Newcomer Kyle Lamb said, “I am enjoying baseball so far this season. The last time I played was Little League and I enjoyed it back then as well. It’s just like shaking off the cobwebs.” With the addition of the indoor cage and improvements to baseball diamond the 2012 version of Polar Bear baseball has high hope for a great season
