Last summer, North Scott’s Health Education program received a generous donation of $2,244.91 from the Area Health Education Center. The proceeds were used to startup the Anatomy in Clay Curriculum in Dr. Onken’s Anatomy and Physiology classes.

The program takes a novel approach, using clay to help students better understand the structure and detail of human form. Helping to construct the anatomy of the human body will provide students with a unique, hands-on experience that will expand on their main studies.

Any athlete can tell you what it’s like to be in a slump. No matter what sport it is, everyone goes through a time when nothing seems to be going his way; and the North Scott Boys Soccer team is no exception.

Lancers took on Assumption at home in what seemed to be a very winnable game. Unfortunately the Knights were able to come out on top with an overtime goal and beat the Lancers 1-0.

“It just seems like we’ve forgotten how to win,” said junior defender Dane Mikkelsen. Which may seem correct considering that the Lancers have lost their last four conference games to Muscatine (5-0), Pleasant Valley (8-1), Davenport Central (4-2), and now Assumption.

“I think part of our problem is all the new position changes,” said junior goaltender Matt Pacha. “Its really hard to win when players are unfamiliar with their position.”

North Scott Varsity Baseball 2010 looks to be the best team produced in a long time.
Because of the return of three varsity pitchers and upcoming talent, it will be difficult for any team to get a hit.
Also the batting has been stupendous with bone shattering hits, during batting practice there is a constant ping of bats knocking balls out of the park. With such lethal bats North Scott should be scoring runs all-season long.
As far as fielding, Grayson Schmidt said, “the in-field is solid, but once we get the out-fielders in the right spot we should be set.”
With such a solid line-up, North Scott Baseball anticipates a great season, and with the return of 11 varsity players, a MAC championship is widely anticipated, and realistic.

It’s that time of year again, when the cold fades away and the warmth of summer approaches—when North Scott athletes come together to play soccer. So far, both the girls and boys soccer teams are off to good starts, with the boys at a conference record of 2-1 and the girls with a record of 1-1.
Last Tuesday night, both teams took on Davenport West, with the boys at home and the girls away. The boys won 3-2 in double overtime on a PK shootout. Sadly the same excitement could not be shared in Davenport as the girls were shutout by the Falcons. “We just didn’t come ready to play,” said junior defender Marianne Hart. “We had no energy on the field, and you can see that from the outcome. We had the skill to beat them, but we just didn’t go hard enough.”
Next up on the Schedule for the Lancers is Pleasant Valley; a team that is “very beatable” according to players on both the girls and boys teams.
