OCTOBER 12: Bethel Park students and football players are getting pumped for Friday night lights, tonight at 7:30. The 4-2 Blackhawks are preparing for, what most believe to be, their biggest game of the season, facing off with the undefeated Upper St. Clair Panthers. When Senior lineman Evan Yarger was asked if he thought the Hawks were able to win tonight, he anwered, “Oh, fa sho.”

The humble Black Hawks know that a win tonight will not come easy. Senior receiver Avery Dibble believes that “Our passing game needs to be efficient and the defense needs to be stiff.”

Most players, when asked about the game, said that they have the talent and ability to beat the Panthers, but they just need to keep playing like they have been. The Hawks have won their last three games in near blowouts.

Even the students know how big this game is. During school, Senior Varsity soccer player Jimmy Vehec yelled, “This game is huge! If we win we’re storming the field!”

Jimmy was, of course referring to the extremely awesome student section. Many believe the current student section is the best and loudest in years. Chants such as, “I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN”, have rocked Black Hawk Studium.

There is even a rumor going around the halls that the “BP Bane” might make an appearance tonight. Besides a few spottings in the woods near Simmons park, the masked mad-man has not been seen since Super-Hero Day during Homecoming Week. Senior Batman-enthusiast Kevin Minteer said he would keep a lookout for the infamous villian.

Tonight’s game is an “orange-out”, so Hawk fans are encouraged to wear anything orange. Hopefully, the turnout for tonight will be big and, of course, loud. So come out tonight at 7:30 to cheer on our boys in black! GO HAWKS

As you walk through the halls and see the many faces of students of Bethel Park High School, a certain person catches the eye of the people throughout the building. This young man’s name is Mitchell Alexander Krieger. Mitchell, a Senior member of yearbook club, Ways'n Means, the National Honors Society, Hawk Eye, PACS, and DECA, is the definition of a well-rounded, intelligent high school student. Mitch is intrigued by other cultures and traditions around the world. One of his dreams in life is to travel the world and experience all of the unique cultures and ways of life. Mitchell’s favorite part of the world is Europe because he likes how one small area can be so diverse. Mitch said if he could switch lives with anyone in the entire world, it would be Anthony Bourdain. He admires Anthony because he travels the world but doesn’t experience the tourist attractions in countries. He said Anthony experiences different cultures first-hand by living with families from that area and lives as they would for awhile. When it comes to his future, Mitchell is completely undecided. He has gone back and forth in his head multiple times, yet still has no idea. Something that most people don’t know about Mitch is that he isn’t just “the funny guy.” He has feelings and is in fact, sort of sensitive. Mitch values being different in life. He doesn’t necessarily want to be another face in the crowd. Mitch said, “Life is a gift, not to be wasted. You can’t settle for being the same, or for being good enough. In life, whenever everyone says something is perfect, you must be the one to say it can be better.” Written by: Jake McCall, Staff Writer
