No way around it, freezing cold today and not a day you'd expect a post about ice cream. But here we are!
A busload of kids from West Noble Primary happily zipped up their coats and headed to La Michoacana in Ligonier to celebrate their fundraiser prize.
"Do you want bubble gum or Oreo?" and "You also want sprinkles?" were the only questions asked and answered today, as the two dozen or so kids plowed through their ice cream in recognition of their work with the school fundraiser this past fall.
As always, thank you to the fine folks at La Michoacana for their continued partnership with our schools, and opening their doors on a frigid but sunny Tuesday afternoon!

In appreciation of the work he did for equality in our country.
Certainly not the way she would want to go out. But let's take a positive spin on Destiny Martinez's historic run to the IHSAA Girls Wrestling State Finals.
Martinez went 1-1 in her first two contests of the day, serving as the first-ever West Noble female wrestler to make the state finals. The senior won her first match, then lost her second match, sending her to the consoles of the 170-pound placement ladder.
In her third contest against Munster's Allyson Compton, things were moving along at a slow pace, neither competitor really gaining much of an advantage. Compton held just a 2-0 lead off a reversal from the restart, but an awkward fall had Martinez bounce her head on the mat. Play was halted and Martinez was checked out by medical personnel and deemed unable to continue, forfeiting the match. Time didn't catch up to the West Noble senior as the seventh-place match against Wawasee's Kenadi Pierce loomed, and Martinez had to take a medical default.
So a 1-3 day is what the history books will show, but the one win in the first round allowed Martinez to become a state placer, taking eighth overall in her weight class and earning a 20th win on the season.
Martinez will always be the historical 'first' footnote, the first Lady Charger to take part in a Parade of Champions, the first to wear an IHSAA State Finals shirt with her likeness on the back, and the first to earn a medal.
From the West Noble community, congratulations Destiny, what a career! Be proud of your accomplishments!

A championship dream won't be realized, but Destiny Martinez can still finish her career with a win.
In the quarterfinals of the 170-pound bracket at the IHSAA Girls Wrestling State Finals, Martinez ran into Annabelle Redman of Columbus East, and ran into a takedown just a minute into the first round. That was the only move Redman needed as she worked Martinez into a sticky position and into a pin at 1:21 to advance to the semis, sending Martinez to the placement brackets.
Martinez can finish no higher than fifth, but no lower than eighth. Her next matchup will be against Allyson Compton of Munster, and then face either Eleanor Robertson of Franklin Central or Kenadi Pierce of Wawasee.
Stay tuned!

A reminder to our West Noble families:
We are into a very busy month of testing, which will continue into the spring as well. We would like to encourage our families to remind our kids (and ourselves) to make sure we are getting plenty of sleep at night, a nutritious breakfast and lunch, and finding ways to relax and recharge during this testing phase.
If you need help with nutrition needs, please contact your school principal or your guidance counselors. We want our kids to be at their best for testing, and continue to learn and grow at West Noble.

See you there!
See you there!
Charger Check-in:
A slow start back to the grind as the second semester began this past week at West Noble.
We did usher in the start of the high school gymnastics season Tuesday in Kendallville, and West Noble wrestling held its annual Super Duals. Among the Duals on Saturday was the fundraiser for the Zayago family, by all accounts a very successful event to help ease the burden of a recent loss within the family.
Thank you to all who helped with the fundraiser, and all those who contributed!

First official event on campus for the new year, and it was a good result for the host Chargers!
The boys basketball program took care of business to earn its second Northeast Corner Conference victory, running away from Eastside, 54-35. The junior varsity also ended on the plus side of Eastside for the twinbill sweep.
The win in the varsity contest could bode well for the Chargers in futures, as West Noble hosts Eastside on Jan. 14 in the first round of the NECC tourney. Still a lot of work to do between now and then, but for tonight, good win. Good start to the new year!
