Good evening students and Happy Columbus day!

I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend despite the weather! All the sports games went off great!

Quirank faced off last year's cup champions, Appalachia on Friday night and though Quirank proved themselves a formidable opponent, they could not keep up with Appalachia. The Appalachia Wolves took home another well earned win at the end of the night. Sol Garcia commented "we're just steam rolling through the beginning of our season! It's only gonna get better!" There were high spirits in Appalachia all weekend and even an outdoor barbecue in front of their house on Friday night.

We would like to extend our warmest thanks to the cheerleaders who came out and cheered their hearts out. Quirank and Appalachian cheerleaders alike showed up and kept the crowd spirited throughout the night.

The University Quidditch team met against The New York City University of Magic on Saturday afternoon and against the rain and poor weather still came out victorious. Team One and Team Two faced off after the University game and this time Team Two took home the victory after a trying game.

In other sports news, the University Quodpot team has suffered the loss of their center and noseguard Michiko Passos who has retired for the season. "I plan to come back next season, so don't you worry about a thing," Miss Passos was quoted after tendering her resignation. "I just have to think about my health right now and focus on getting through this year." Miss. Passos promised that she wouldn't miss a single practice or game while waiting out the season.

This week's highlighted club is the Garden Club. I had a chance to sit down with Tatum Donnelly, Ella Parry, and Sol Garcia to talk about the club's activities as of late. This week has been very heavily focused on moving outdoor plants into the greenhouse to avoid the killer frost. They've also planted several rare plants that they will be harvesting soon. Sol Garcia enthusiastically told me "Garden club is just super relaxed and a nice environment. It also provides tons of fresh herbs for cooking!" Tatum Donnelly was quoted saying "I mean like, it's been going really good. We're on schedule and stuff. Ella and Sunny do most of the hard.. stuff. But I found this really good spell for growing giant strawberries! They're like, huger than pears. It's super awesome." The Garden Club has an open door policy and would like to extend a welcome to any other interested students.

Next week we will be highlighting the Art Club! Don't forget to join us on the field Friday for Roanoke and Shenandoah and Saturday to see the University team with their new line up take on The New York City University of Magic! Thank you very much for your time!
