![On Oct. 30, 24 Eco Club members took a tour of the school’s solar panels on the roof. They were guided and taught by an employee from E Light Electric, the company that maintains the school’s solar panels, and learned about how the panels are maintained and cared for. “I was definitely very excited about being on the roof in general,” Eco Club member Olivia Fang ‘26 said. “[It was exciting to] learn more about solar panels and how they work and how they supply energy to our school.”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/RCH_2632-1200x800.jpg)
![Ice and snow make it difficult for drivers on the road. During snowstorms, drivers have poor visibility, and frozen roads make it difficult to stay in control. “Driving home from Denver [on Friday], the neighborhoods weren’t plowed. By the time we got back they were only plowing highways. We spun out, nearly got stuck and fishtailed a few different times,” Connor Pugh ‘26 said.](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Untitled_Artwork-e1732045465987.jpg)

During Senior Night, seniors were given flowers and the opportunity to walk out and take pictures with their family as their future plans and favorite memories were announced over the speakers. The Jags tied 0-0, losing the Continental League Championship. “We were obviously the stronger team but just couldn’t find a way to score, but otherwise our connection and our intensity was really high so I’m proud of that. We just have to find the net,” defense midfielder Clara Geuzaine ‘24 said. “[Losing League] wasn’t the best. It’s better than last year and like, I know our team and we are doing really good. I don’t want to jinx it but like hopefully [we’ll do] good [in playoffs].”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Copy-of-DSC_4277-1-1200x868.jpg)

The three completed a worksheet and drawing to explain the implosion of a tank for their unit on gas laws. “At the start of class, we watched a video of the tank imploding,” Patterson said. “I think [making a drawing] is something new. I like more artsy activities.”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/IMG_5019-1200x900.jpeg)
One puck, 19 players.
Music blasts through the speakers as the Zamboni rides away, and the varsity team cruises onto the ice.
The Sabercats took on the Chaparral Wolverines at the Family Sports Center Jan. 20 for their most recent game of the season.
The Sabercat team consists of three different schools combined: Rock Canyon High School, Douglas County High School and the team sponsor, Castle View High School.
The first period started strong with two goals, made by varsity forwards Maxx Menzies ‘24 and Steven Kannenberg ‘25, carrying Castle View into the lead.
During the second period, each team made one goal, bringing the score to 3-1. Varsity defenseman Hayden Whitesell ‘24 scored the third goal with just 45 seconds left in the second period. The Wolverines scored five additional goals during the third and final period, resulting in a score of 6-3 L.
“It was devastating to lose to Chap after a close game for the most part. We broke down in the final minutes of the game. Although it was bad, I know the boys can bounce back,” varsity forward Steven Kannenberg ‘25 said.
Later in the week, the Sabercats were focused on the game that awaited against Monarch High School that Friday, Jan. 26. The team has already played Monarch twice this season, both losing 3-1 Nov. 18 and 4-1 Dec. 20.
“When we played them last, they were ranked number one in the state and the energy was electric,” varsity forward Maxx Menzies ‘24 said. “We know a team like Monarch will be eager to win so everyone is prepared to play their hardest.”
