Junior football kicker Ethan M. recently took a trip to Las Vegas, NV to attend the Chris Sailer Camp.  There were over 350 kickers from around the nation, including 135 out of the Junior Class.  The camp featured many College Football kickers along with NFL kickers from the New York Jets & the Cincinnati Bengals.

The kicking camp provided Ethan with valuable experience for his upcoming Senior season as he prepares to handle the kicking duties for the Cavalier Football Team.

Senior Daniel A. Competes in 
FCA All-Star Football Game

danielandcoachm
On Saturday, December 17th, Holston Senior Daniel A. competed in the 2nd Annual East Tennessee / Southwest Virginia FCA High School All-Star Football Game.  The game took place @ Science Hill High School in Johnson City, TN.  Daniel represented Holston and SW Virginia as a Defensive Back in the contest.  He also contributed on special teams. 

Daniel commented that, "It was a lot of fun and it was a different environment to play with the best guys around.  Playing on the same team with a lot of the guys I grew up playing against really showed me how football can separate a team or bring them together."

Holston's Jason Matlock was an Assistant Coach for the game, as he worked with the SW Virginia team Quarterbacks.
Art Students Take Up Knitting

First year art students in Jennifer Smith’s classes at Holston High School are learning how to knit.  While knitting is not a traditional art form, it requires hand-eye coordination, patience, and creativity as many other forms of art do.  Choice of colors is also a component of the work.
 
Once the students complete their work, the finished scarves will be given to the guidance counselors at the county’s elementary schools.  The counselors will then distribute the scarves to students who need them.  The students enjoyed the high interest project, and it will undoubtedly become a part of the class curriculum for the next several years.
