Blast to the Past: Staff reflect on their high school athletics
Mr. Hansen was a proud member of the tennis and soccer teams when he attended Greenville high school. Some of his favorite high school memories were playing soccer with his team, it was a lot of fun even though it was a lot of running. He said that tennis was easier for him even though there was still some running but it wasn’t as intense. Mr. Hansen is still in contact with some of his teammates but not all of them.
In highschool Mrs. Sepanski played basketball at Sacred heart. When we asked her how successful her team was she said “We were not very good”, but she stated she was a good shooter. Her favorite memory was spending time with her team during practice and on the bus ride to games. An Interesting fact is that
Mr. Schell was her teacher while she attended Sacred Heart.
Mr. Schell played football, basketball, and baseball at Mount Pleasant high school which he is currently teaching at, as most students know. One of his favorite memories is going to state his senior year for baseball. Schell got recruited for college basketball at CMU because of his amazing skill. Basketball was his favorite sport, so he was very happy to be able to play in college.
Mr. Spence did wrestling, football, and track at Cheboygan high school. He said his wrestling team was not very successful because he only had six athletes on his team, but they still enjoyed it and had lots of fun. His favorite memory of playing sports was from track, they had a teammate named Zach who would randomly pretend to bite other kids on the bus so they would freak out.
Mrs. Bartell, a hall monitor here at Mt. Pleasant high school went to Rochester for her high school years. While she was there she was a member of both the Varsity tennis and soccer teams. Her team was seventh in the state for tennis, so they were pretty good and had lots of fun. But she still enjoyed soccer more. Now she is the JV girls tennis coach here as of the 2023 season, and soon might become the varsity coach.
Mrs. Dawson did cheer and track at Ayersville high school in Defiance, Ohio. She said that her cheer team was average but they still had fun. She preferred cheer over running because running made her very anxious and it would affect her races. Her favorite memory was going to camp for cheer where she made lots of good memories and friends. She is even in contact with one of her old teammates that went to camp with her
