The CHIEF December 2023

Sports Update By: Taylor Henson

With the end of the first semester, let’s evaluate the Pontiac Township High School Boys Basketball season. The team ended last year’s season with many accomplishments. One included winning their regional championship and going on to defeat the school’s rivals, the Prairie Central Hawks, for the super-sectional win. They couldn’t pull out any more wins for their miracle season, but now they are back, ready to take on this season! The coaches for this basketball season include Mr. Zega, Fernando Daley and Matt Kelley. The varsity team opened their season going 3-1 at a tournament in Ottawa, placing second to a great LaSalle-Peru team in the championship. Later on, they sadly lost to Morton, but quickly turned it around by winning a very high-intensity game against El-Paso Gridley. Their record, as of now, is 6-3 with many more games to go! As the Annual Pontiac Holiday Tournament approaches, come support the team as they fight to win their own tournament!

Pontio Update By: Brieaunna Duck

Pontio is a cool name, but what is it? It is the yearbook club! The yearbooks that people order every year are actually made by the students. In this club you use a website called Yearbook Avenue, which is fairly easy to use. If you enjoy being artistic, and making things look nice then this club is a good fit for you. This semester has had an exciting start! We have already turned in our first round of pages and they have begun printing. Another form of art is photography, as we take the pictures ourselves. It is quite rewarding at the end of the year to see the photos you took and your hard work, which is put into the pages, actually printed out. So overall, this year is going great and if you are interested it’s not too late to join.
