 Pickleball Rules

By:Sher

   In the game (pickleball) when the other team serves the ball to you must let it bounce once before you hit it. If it bounces two times or more the other team gets the point. If you hit the ball when it did not bounce that’s fine but if you hit the ball out of bounce the other team gets the point.

   When you serve the ball you must hit it in an upwards motion when the ball is struck.

The kitchen rule: 

   If you hit the ball in the kitchen you will get faults. Players are not allowed in the non-volley-zone, also you can’t hit the ball until it hits the ground too. Neither your body or equipment can touch the kitchen.

49ers vs Chiefs 

By: Sawyer Fandel

The 49ers chances at winning Super Bowl 58 is a 59.4% chance at winning. They beat the Packers and the Lions to make it to the Super Bowl and they are playing in Las Vegas. I hope that the weather doesn’t affect the 49ers playing because they usually play in a warmer climate.The last time they played in the Super Bowl the Chiefs won 31-20 in 2020. The 49ers are two point favorites. The 49ers have a lot of star players on defense like Nick Bosa,Fred Warner and Charvarius Ward. On offense they have star players like Brock Purdy,Brandon Ayiuk,Deebo Samual, Trent Williams and Christian McCaffrey.

Super bowl 58  

By Brayden Clark 

 The Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl! The Chiefs have a 40.6% chance of winning the Super Bowl and have Patrick Mahomes as their quarterback. I don’t know about you but I think that is unfair. The way our defense has been playing! I mean come on, holding the ravens explosive offense to 10 points WOW! The 49ers defense has not been playing the greatest recently. Against the Packers and the Lions they have allowed over 30 points in each game. To add on to that their offense has not been playing the greatest in the first half of their games. They have only scored 7 points against the Packers and 7 points against the Lions in the first half. The Chiefs have also played in Las Vegas more because the Raiders are their rivals. 

   The Chiefs receivers have been on their A game recently. The receivers have a combined total yards in this postseason of 718 yards in the last 3 games. Isea Pacheco has 254 yards on his own. The Chiefs also have a Super Bowl win against the 49ers. I think if the Chiefs build up a big enough lead before halftime they can win.

** Editor Correction - The 49ers only allowed 21 points against the Packers.  We are sorry for our error.  

Johnston Volleyball 

By Ruthie

Johnston varsity team has had an incredible season so far with their record almost setting a record high for most wins in a high school season.

With their 19-6 record they are 16th for the best records in the whole entire state.

I personally think that Johnston volleyball is good mainly because of their team spirit and hard work and dedication.

If Johnston volleyball keeps up with their work I think they can go to state.   

Who I think will win the Super Bowl 

By Brody Maxwell

I think the 49’ers will win the Super Bowl. Because the 49’ers have better Wide Receivers, better Running Backs. To support my ideas is. The  49’ers Wide Receivers are Deebo Samuel,Brandon Aiyuk, and Jauan Jennings. And the Chiefs wide receivers are Marquez Valdes-Scantling,Mecole Hardman Jr., and Kadarius Toney. And in stats the 49’ers wide receivers are better than the Chief wide receivers. The 49’ers Running back is so much better than the Chiefs running back because the 49’ers running back is Christian McCaffrey and he is so good and the Chiefs running back is good too but not as good as the 49’ers. 

Vini jr 

by TJ

Vini jr is a 23 year old soccer star that is a winger for Real Madrid. He has won the champ game in 2024 REAL Madrid VS Barcelona. The score was 4-1 because Barca sucks and is super bad and can go to the worst league ever. Vini jr has also won the man of the match reward that contains a gold trophy shaped as a boot. I think he is the best player on their team.

Green Bay Packers 

by Avery A.

Did you know that the Green Bay Packers have won 4 Super Bowl victories? The last time the Packers won a Super Bowl was in 2011 after defeating the Steelers . The Packers have won 826 season games and have lost 224 games. Vince Lombardi was the founder of the Packers he founded the packers back in 1919 however, they didn’t play a season game until 1921. Vince received money from a company named Acme Packer’s Company, he used this money to start the Packers foundation.  This is where the Packers got their name, named after Acme Packer’s Company.  The Packers head coach is Matt LaFleur. The starting quarterback  for the Green Bay Packers is Jordan Love, he is a great quarterback and has a great career ahead of him. The starting wide receivers are Christian Watson,Romeo Doubs, and Jayden Reed. The tight ends are Luke Muskgrave and Tucker Kraft. The starting running backs are AJ Dillion and Aaron Jones. The starting cornerback and safeties are Jaire Alexander and Darnell Savage Jr. The starting kicker is Anders Carlson (which in my opinion they need to get rid of him because he misses too many points that causes us to lose games) . Although there are other important positions this is the end of my presentation. P.S. The Packers are the best NFL team.
