Madison Battled Chardon, Came Up Just Short

BY: Amelia Marlow

On Thursday, September 21st, the Girls’ Varsity Tennis Team played a match at home. Coached by Mr. Brainard, they began the day against Chardon with an 11-3-0 record. This match was important for Madison as Chardon was ranked 2nd in the conference and are a big rival. Before the game took place, JV player Isabel Gnagy predicted Lauren Bernard, Alexis Gonzalez, and Paige Potter would win or at least tie. Coach Brainard also said the match would be close, go down to the last minute and predicted a Madison win as well.

Unfortunately, the Varsity Team lost 2-3. Coach Brainard explained that Chardon has a good team and played tough. Although they didn’t win, Madison played tough, too. Tessa Karran said she “played well” and her “serves were pretty good.” Hannah Andrews played with new partner, Lauren Bernard, and they “did well and her communication skills with Lauren were great.” I think each girl made a very strong effort and there were some great volleys with key shots. At the end, it came down to a nailbiter match that sealed the win for Chardon.

The top three performers for Madison were singles-player Tessa Karran; doubles-team Paige Potter and Alexis Gonzalez; and doubles-team Lauren Bernard and Hannah Andrews. Tessa Karran won 6-2 in set one and won the second set 6-0. Paige Potter and Alexis Gonzalez lost 4-6 in set one and lost 6-7 in a close second set, with a tiebreaker score 3-7. Lauren Bernard and Hannah Andrews won 7-5 in their first set and won 6-4 in their second set.

Moving forward, Coach Brainard said the team is almost done with their season. They have three more regular matches and are getting ready for conference and sectionals. Tessa Karran said she has a 13-2 record that will help her prepare for future matches. Hannah Andrews said she hopes she can play with Lauren Bernard more often and win more matches for her team. I think if the team can band together and finish strong, they will have good momentum the postseason.

The Girls’ Varsity Tennis Team plays their next match at home against North on Monday, September 25th.

Teacher Biography

BY: Rosemary Bias

“Teaching is never easy, everyday is completely different!”  A typical teaching day for Mrs. Hanley can be very crazy and is different every single day, even though she teaches the same classes.  She has to be flexible and she just goes with the flow of each day as it happens. She went to  Malone College, The University of Akron and Grand Canyon University and has a Master’s in Special Education for students in PreK-12th grade.


Mrs. Hanley has been a teacher for 16 years, where she first started in preschool and made her way up to the high school. She also said that she always wanted to be a teacher since she was a little girl and she would always play school. She loves seeing students progress and succeed over the school year.  


Mrs. Hanley has been married for 14 years and has two little girls. The oldest is 10, her name is Heavin, and the youngest is 8, her name is Kailana. Her favorite teacher was her first grade teacher. She said she was caring and loving, but her most inspirational teacher was her 12th grade English teacher because she really cared about her students and got them very interested in wanting to read, learn and write.


Mrs. Hanley really enjoys teaching science because she thinks that students learn so much from hands on experience. She really hopes that she makes a difference in her students lives and that more than anything for her students to know that they can be successful at anything they put their mind to. She is happy so far with what she has achieved being a teacher over the years.

Someone To Know

BY: Isabel Gnagy


Mark Primer is a four year two way starter for the Madison High School football team. Many people know who he is but not many people really know who he is. To start off with, Mark is both a great student and a great athlete. Here at Madison High School he has a 4.5 GPA. He’s gotten an academic player award for WRC for three straight years. When asked what his favorite subject is he simply replied science. With being a football player I asked him who his favorite NFL football team was. He replied sternly and wholeheartedly with “Browns”. His favorite player is one of this year's NFL draftees Miles Garrett, who plays the same position as him.  Another little fun fact about Mark is that his favorite movie is the first Spiderman. Mark is very loved by his peers. So much that he is on the homecoming court as one of the runners for homecoming king.


He's not only king in school, but also a very well known king on the field. This year, so far, Mark has had sixteen tackles, eight hurries, one sack and four tackles for loss. Last week’s game Mark switched things up and played a tight end for the first time. He did excellent getting four catches at and over 60 yards. When asked what his favorite memory this year was he said it was beating Geneva this 2017 season with a final score of 28-21.


In Mark’s not so far future he says he's hoping to go to Michigan State or Toledo State. He hasn’t really considered going to any other school and he doesn’t prefer to go to one instead of the other. Both of the schools are looking at him for the eligibility of a scholarship. For his college major Mark is planning to major in mechanical engineering. Mr. Gillian says without a doubt, “Mark is getting a scholarship”.  All Mr. Gillian could say about Mark was “He’s a great student athlete. He’s the true definition of a student athlete. He’s a great example for younger guys. He's a captain. And he’s an exemplary figure for guys to look up to”. Mark Primer is truly a role model no matter where he is or who he is with.

Hard Player

BY: McKenzie Reihner

Kyle Woleben is a freshmen on the JV boys soccer team. He has been playing soccer since he was a little kid. He also plays basketball and golf. He is a starter on JV and also plays for varsity. I chose Kyle to be part of the snapshot for being a freshmen and a bubble for varsity, a pretty good at that. One of the quotes he plays by is “Work hard, play hard,” it keeps him motivated. Kyle doesn’t only stand out  for playing soccer, he stands out for being short and still being great at soccer. He has made many friends from soccer that are from other grades.

Kyle has won multiple medals and trophies for having good grades and for doing good in the sports he plays. Kyle has gotten the many trophies from soccer and the award in middle school was for having good grades.

What Kyle wants to accomplish throughout high school is, that he passes all his classes and makes all the sports teams he tries out for and eventually getting on Varsity. His favorite class in the high school is math and his favorite teacher is Mr. Peterlin. After high school Kyle wants to go to college in Cincinnati to be a doctor.

Kyle's most memorable moment of high school so far is being able to play soccer for the school. He mostly plays center mid and travels all over the field. Outside of school and sports Kyle watches TV one of his favorite shows is Family Guy. Kyle is looking forward to a good school year and a good soccer season with all his friends.

Coach's View on Tomorrow's Game

BY: Seirra Craddock 


Your girls varsity golf team has a conference match, in fact this is a WRC/Neoggca Tournament at Erie Shores Golf Course starting 9:00 am on Wednesday September 20th. Speaking to Coach Titman about the match history with the tournament, “Our highest place in the tournament was third place.”  He is hoping that they place in first this year. Why is this game so important you might wonder? Coach smiles slightly and says, “If we win the conferences, sectionals are next week, this gives the girls more opportunity to play well beforehand”. He also was talking about some keys to victory such as, “playing around the greens, which is a very big key to successes. Also watch where we chip and putt is another factor.” Everyone expects to win, but Titman has his reasons why he expects to win. “ If we win, this means that we will have beaten two teams who have a victory over us during this season. Winning this will mean we will have defeated everyone we have faced at least once this season.” Team Leaders are a huge part of the team as well, those team leaders include Kalee Kless and Emileigh Kleps. Kalee’s stats average a 51, and Emileigh’s stats average 46. Titman says Kalee brings “Maturity to the game as well as understanding how to work the golf course. Emileigh for this game needs to have a very good score, if she has a great score then we would have a chance of winning the conference tomorrow”. Speaking with one of the varsity players, Mina Gephart implied that this is a very big match for the girls and she is hoping that everyone is prepared to play. Good luck girls!
