Some great news from Angola this morning as our West Noble girls cross country team gathered the double, winning the NECC Tournament Championship!
The title adds to the regular season crown the team won in September, giving the Lady Chargers the double and a lot of momentum as it prepares for the sectional in two weeks.
To say it was a team effort is an understatement as rival Fairfield matched West Noble on the team score with 45 points each, but the tiebreaker was easily secured by West Noble, 17-29, assured by Monet Bieberich.
The pack work by the Lady Chargers was in championship form, as the team peppered the top 20 with all of its active runners landing within the grid. Karla Dominguez paced the squad with a fourth-place time of 20:09, with Victoria Mendoza (7th, 20:37) and Lynden Chordas (8th, 20:57) the next two in.
Fairfield had four in the top nine, but took a 24th place as its fifth score to knot the team scores.
West Noble's boys were third in its competition, scoring 89 points to trail just champion Angola (45) and Lakeland (83). Graysen Ruch continued to run with the top of the conference, placing fourth (17:10) while Daniel Trinklein (17th, 18:20) and Caleb Petersen (18th, 18:24) were the two and three for the Chargers.

Here are a few moments from the week from all of the buildings.

Their project simulated a game of telephone, having to build an object based off materials set around a room, but none of the others could know what it is without one telling the next, who tells the next, and so on. They were then judged on a rubric for accuracy and execution of the project.

Hey Charger volleyball fans!
As if Fairfield coming to town wasn't enough, plan to make it to West Noble on Thursday, Sept. 24, as the volleyball team is not only taking on the rival Falcons, but hosting its annual fundraiser.
The night will be in memory of Jana Beers Miller, who lost her battle with cancer earlier this year. Miller was a West Noble graduate and member of the 1985 sectional champion volleyball team. Miller was a supporter of West Noble and the community. The team will be remembering Miller’s contributions to the community by raising funds to be donated to the Community Foundation of Noble County in her memory.
The evening fundraiser will include a silent auction, bake sale, and 50/50 raffle. All Hearts Catering food truck will also be on hand, with 1/3 of their proceeds going directly to the fundraiser.
Come for the fundraiser, stay for the volleyball!
Summer was a hot one, but we can tell fall is finally here. To those who love this season...welcome!
Happy fall, y'all!

Saturday afternoon was a chance to get better as the Lightning Brigade marching band from West Noble competed in Scholastic Class B at the Concord Band Invite.
The class featured two outfits, the Brigade and the Marching Warrior Pride from Wawasee.
West Noble band director Chris Douglas offered, “We were fairly close to Wawasee in a couple of categories. Considering they were the stage champs last year and expected to win again this year, I consider that a major win.”
In just its third year back, the Lightning Brigade continues to improve. Keep it going next week at Fort Wayne Carroll!

It was bittersweet, then just plain sweet at the NECC boys and girls soccer championships this afternoon at Westview.
In the girls final, West Noble were on their way with a goal by Mia Macias with just over eight minutes left in regulation, but Westview found the net three minutes before time to send the match into overtime. After a scoreless pair of sessions, the match was decided in penalty kicks, 5-4, in favor of Westview.
The mood changed for the supporters from Ligonier as Leo Lopez recorded a hat trick, the second and third tallies just two minutes into the second half, as West Noble claimed the tournament title, 3-1, over rival Westview.
The Chargers are also undefeated in the NECC and are on track to win the double if it can navigate the final two weeks of the regular season, which concludes with a visit from Westview on Oct. 1.
