The Oak Hill Marching Oaks are launching off the carrier for one last “sortie” of the Top Gun Show, but can they survive the Danger Zone in a 4G inverted dive with the MiG-28? They won’t get caught in Great Balls of Fire that’s for sure;, we know we’ve got The Power of Love. But in one last Final Countdown, we’re gonna need a wingman that can be there any time.
With higher stakes comes a higher reward,; it’s the last dance! The M.O.B is prepared to rock the field tonight, as the previous halftime shows have been nothing but success. However, there is far more left in the year; many band shows and festivals are still left on the schedule. For tonight, show up and support the Oaks at the first home game of the year, larger crowd = more loud. Go Oaks!

Anna-lynn loved running through the dark streets after work. She had just pulled a 12 hour shift at the ER making her extra tired, but she still decided to go on her run unknowing of the shadowy figure following her. The streets were still and quiet; the only sounds were her light footsteps and heavy breathing, but it no longer scared her for she was used to the quiet. What unnerved her was the feeling of eyes watching her. It was near midnight. Who would be out at such a time? Her jog soon became a run as her mind flooded with worst scenarios when suddenly CRASH! The sound of metal hitting stone and asphalt echoed in the dim streets behind her which made her jump with a gasp. She started running faster and faster, her legs hurting, lungs burning, chest aching with every beat of her pounding heart. She got to the door of her small suburban home, fumbling with her keys hearing clawed steps behind her. Her trembling hands lost grip on the keys, making them hit the ground with a jingle as the steps grew closer and closer. She turned letting out a scream before looking down at a scared looking black cat at her feet. Putting her hand to her chest feeling the rapid motion of her thumping heart against her chest, Anna released a breathless laugh at her paranoid behavior grabbing her keys off the ground. She unlocked the door walking inside right as the antique grandfather clock in the living room struck midnight. Turning to the sound, her eyes found the seven foot tall figure cloaked in shadows with long fangs and a wolf's head. Before she had a chance to scream, it struck. The sound of claws ripping through bone and flesh was the last sounds before the streets grew quiet and still once more.

Senior sunrise was at Davis Stadium at Oak Hill High School/ Middle School this past week. It started at 6:45 A.M. The seniors were treated to breakfast by the high school principal, Mrs.Crabtree There were donuts, brownies and pop tarts. The students had fun watching the sunrise and talking with their friends. Some of the students even made photo frames to take cute photos with. When senior students Alyssa Whitt and Layla Conley were asked how they liked the event they replied with “I loved spending time with my friends, and it was definitely a memorable experience,“ and “I loved it. I felt that it was a way for the senior class to come together.“ So it's safe to say this year's senior sunrise was a massive success with the senior class. I’m sure the future senior classes will have just as much fun with this activity as we did this year.
