As the 2014 football sea-son came to an end both Coving-ton
Catholic and Head Football Coach Dave Wirth felt it was time for a
change. After six sea-sons Wirth decided to resign from the
coaching position. Wirth was 49-27 in six seasons with the
Colonels, including 8-5 this past year.
With no head coach and the offseason looming closer and closer,
Cov Cath immediately started their search for a new head coach.
After sorting through many credible applicants the ath-letic
department announced Mr. Eddie Eviston as the new Head Football
Coach.
Eviston comes to Coving-ton Catholic from Georgetown College in
Georgetown, Ken-tucky, where he has been the of-fensive coordinator
for the past
two years. While there Georgetown averaged 506 all-purpose yards
per game for the last two seasons and finished the 2014 season
ranked 9th nationally in scoring of-fense.
Prior to George-town, Eviston was the head coach at Newport
Central Catholic High School from 2010-2013. During his occupancy
as the head coach at NCC, Eviston amassed a re-cord of 35-8 and led
the Thoroughbreds to two 2A State Championships in 2010 and
2012.
Not only does Eviston have a success-ful coaching career, he was
also a standout student-athlete at NCC, earning 2nd team All-
State honors in 1996 and winning the prestigious “That’s My Boy”
Award from the National Foot-ball Foundation in 1997, the same
award former student-athlete Sam Burchell received just a year
ago.
As a player at Georgetown College, Eviston was a two-year team
captain, 3-time NAIA Na-tional Player of the Year, a 3-Time
All-American, and was a mem-ber of the 2000 and 2001 national
championship teams. He compiled a 41-1 record as a starting
quarter-back at Georgetown, and was also a National Football
Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame Scholar-Athlete Award
Finalist.
Eviston admits that leaving Georgetown was a hard decision for
him, but shows nothing but ex-citement towards his future at
Cov-ington Catholic.

The Covington Catholic Spaghetti Dinner and Fine Arts Festival
was a success this year, once again.
M e m -bers of the Cov-i n g t o n Catholic c o m m u -nity were
invited to attend the Spaghetti D i n n e r and Fine Arts Fes-tival
held
on Sunday February, 22nd from 4:00-6:30. Tickets were offered in
the school office on Thursday pre-ceding the event for the adult
price
of $6.50 and the child price of $3.50, rather than $8.50 and
$5.00 at the door.
The event is held annually to celebrate the many great art
pro-grams that Covington Catholic has to offer. Attendees were able
to en-joy a wonderful spaghetti course, offered with salad, bread,
dessert,
and bever-age.
O u r award-win-ning Cham-ber Choir performed head l ined the
event at 3:30 in the m u l t i p u r -pose room
and, as always did not disappoint. Following the Chamber Choir’s
excellent performance was the
band at 4:00. The CCH band is often overshadowed by the
Cham-
ber Choir, but has made brea th tak ing improvements in recent
years and surprised its audience with an excep-tional show.
Mr. Had-ers’ art program and students were the finale of such a
great event. Art students arranged their best pieces in the hallway
of the first floor. What makes the art program of Covington
Catholic so special is that Mr. Haders is always en-couraging his
students to express themselves in their work, allowing students to
get the best out of their experience as art students. The art-work
was of a wide variety, rang-ing from sketches to sculptures,
none of which failed to turn the heads of all in attendance.
With yet another fantastic Spaghetti Dinner and Fine Arts
Festival, Covington Catholic is now looking forward to next
year’s
e v e n t , hoping to bring new ideas and c h a n g e s that
will allow for an even b e t t e r e v e n t , knowing that this
one will be hard to
surpass.

Rapper Drake just came out with a new album recently, entitled,
If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late. This album is Drake’s first
since 2013 when he released his success-ful Nothing Was the Same
album. Yet, this new album by Drake has a new feel to it than ones
in recent past. Drake has always been labeled as Mr. Sensitive in
his songs for his lyrics and has been the object of many such
jokes. Yet, in this album, he changes all of that.
Drake comes out in this album showing a darker, fiercer side
than he has in the past. Many of the songs tell of his upbringing
and childhood in Toronto, where he grew up with his mother, but his
message is dark and brooding, let-ting everyone know he had a rough
childhood. One of his bigger tracks on the album, “Know
Yourself,”
talks of his roots in Canada and Ja-maica, as well as calling
out all of
his childhood hometown friends.
Another major aspect of Drake’s new album is his demand for
respect. In the music business, he is not given much respect
due
to his Mr. Nice Guy personality. In this album, he does not ask
for
the respect he deserves, but instead, he demands it. In song
such as “6 God,” “Energy,” and “Legend,” Drake boasts of how
successful he has been in the rap game and how far ahead he is than

February 27th was an excit-ing day for Cincinnati because, not
only was it Friday, but Elton John was in town for his concert at
US Bank Arena.
Elton John was in town for his All the Hits Tour, making his
first appearance in Cincinnati since 2005. In another, previous
appear-ance in 2001, he performed with fellow superstar musician,
Billy Joel, but this Elton John outing was highly regarded as the
most antici-pated Elton John concert in Cincin-nati history.
I, personally understood the hype and excitement leading up to
the concert and was online to purchase tickets the very sec-ond
that they went on sale. Tickets for the event were of three
differ-ent prices, $39 for upper deck, $79 for lower level, and
$129 for floor seats. Unfortunately for many Elton John fans,
several tickets had been purchased in advance, making up-per deck
seats $100 or more, and some floor seats in the thousands, but
because of his highly devoted fan base, the concert sold out in
less than 3 days.
For me, being at the concert was an experience that I will never
forget. Elton John has the kind of personality that is extremely
like-able, whether one finds his music pleasing or not. He never
has any-thing but a smile on his face, which is why I believe he is
one of the most
popular and successful musicians in rock and pop history. His
concerts are not typical or traditional: musi-cian play-ing, going
t h r o u g h the mo-tions, and not bring-ing any ex-ci tement ,
rather, El-ton John brings his c r o w d s into the c o n c e r t ,
making it undeniably entertain-ing. Af-ter every song, he makes it
a point to get out of his seat, pump up the crowd, and explain to
them the meaning behind his next song and why it was either vital
to his success, or why it was so amusing for those who listened to
it.
Aside from the concert ex-perience with Elton John, his style of
music veers off of the usual, mainstream path that musicians of his
generation typically followed. Elton John, with his talented
lyricist, Bernie Taupin, have made names for themselves by writing
songs that truly connect with their listen-ers. The way that their
partnership
works is Bernie Taupin writes lyrics and then gives them to
Elton John, who writes the music to accompany
the lyrics. Unlike the majority of bands and duos of their
generation, Taupin and Elton John have never separated or let the
fame and for-tune get the best of them, which is one of the many
reasons their music has remained so popular.
Being named All the Hits Tour, Elton John and his band
per-formed the best of the songs that they have compiled over the
course of their long history. Songs performed included “Your Song”,
“Bennie and the Jets,” “Candle in the Wind,” “Tiny Dancer,”
“Levon,” and the ever popular “Rocket Man.” Dur-
ing the concert, Elton John took a short break to explain to the
crowd that 2015 is the 40th anniversary of the release of the
group’s ground-breaking album, Yellow Brick Road, an album that
included a handful of their hits, such as “Bennie and the Jets,”
“Candle in the Wind,” and “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.”
One of Elton John’s less popular, but strongest and most
meaningful songs, “Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters,” was dedicated to a
fan who was celebrating her 40th birthday on the night of the
concert, coincidental with the 40th anniver-sary of the release of
his album Yellow Brick Road. Following the completion of his
performance, El-ton John pulled the woman out of the crowd and
brought her on stage to take a picture with her and auto-graph the
poster she had brought to the concert.
Elton John and his band left the stage for ten minutes before
returning to the play their encore, “Crocodile Rock.” Upon hearing
the song, the crowd erupted in ap-plause and cheer. The choice of
song was certainly special and was very fitting for the finale of
the con-cert.
This year’s concert that something is will stay with me forever
and was a truly incredible experience. I anticipate the return of
Elton John and his band, and I, along with everyone in attendance
of this year’s concert, will be ecstat-ic to attend his next
performance in the Queen City.
Elton John Returns to Cincinnati
Not Living Up to the Drake Styleelse. Yet, as in “No Tellin,’”
Drake also contemplates the weight of his crown on him and how much
pres-sure is on him daily to perform.
Although this new album by Drake has a different feel to it than
albums in the past by him, the songs are just not as good as they
usually are. There is a theory behind Drake coming out with this
album though. Drake is signed to a four-album contract with Cash
Money Records, and after a fourth album he is able to go out on his
own and make albums solo. This new album is actually a collection
of songs that never made it to a studio album. Originally sup-posed
to be a mixtape, Drake instead took these “throw-away” songs and
turned them into album, so he could get out of his record deal with
Cash Money Records and then produce his highly anticipated+
upcoming album Views from the 6 on his own.

If anyone has not seen the movie Space Jam, they are really
missing out. Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Bill Murray really do
a great job of acting throughout the movie. It is full of comedy
created by Jordan and the Looney Tunes.
It starts with Michael Jordan as a young kid shooting outside in
his backyard trying to become a bet-ter basketball player. After he
makes constant free throws in a row, the movie kicks off. The
introduction has a catchy tune to it showing all of Michael’s
highlights. The movie touches on Michael Jordan’s aw-ful baseball
career, but also shows how everyone loves him while he is striking
out after every pitch---seems like he should have just stuck with
basketball. Meanwhile, over in Looney Tuneland, Bugs Bunny and
Daffy Duck challenge little aliens to
a basketball game.
Little did they know, the lit-
tle aliens took all of the great NBA talents’ skills. They grew
to be Mon-stars leaving Bugs and the rest of the crew worried. The
bet was that if the Tune Squad lost, they would have to move to the
homeland of the aliens, Moron Mountain, to perform standup comedy
for entertainment for the other aliens. So this leaves
Bugs with one choice, and that is to obtain the world’s greatest
basket-ball player, Michael Jordan. As Mi-
chael is p l a y i n g golf with NBA leg-end Lar-ry Bird and
com-edy actor Bill Mur-ray, Bugs a t t r a c t s Jordan’s shot
into
the hole with a magnet, causing him to reach in the hole. As
Jordan goes down to retrieve his hole in one shot, Bugs lassos him
into the hole taking him to Looney Tune land to beat the Monstars.
Leaving Michael with no choice, he joins the team. At halftime of
the game, the Tune Squad is getting killed. Michael comes up with
an idea to

On February 1st of 2015 rapper Kid Ink released his third al-bum
of his career, Full Speed.
With the success of his pre-vious album, My Own Lane, Kid Ink
was expected to be on his game again. Full Speed was able to live
up to the hype. Kid Ink is known for his great collaborations with
hot artists, so when he paired up with Chris Brown and made the
track “Hotel” it was no surprise. Kid Ink and Chris Brown have had
success together with “Show Me” from Ink’s last album.
bring the Tune Squad back to life by giving them “secret stuff”
which turned out to be just water. The Tune Squad ended up winning
the game on a game-winning, half court dunk. His arm stretched all
the way from half court to win!
Although it is a very old movie, the humor is top notch. Also,
the NBA playoffs and March Madness are coming up so a bas-ketball
movie right now would be awesome. And you cannot find a better
basketball movie than Space Jam. Overall, Space Jam is one of the
best kid friendly, comic mov-ies I have ever seen and definitely
worth the hour and a half it takes to watch it.

Over the first full weekend of February, the annual NDA and CCH
Musical Showcase was once again a fantastically orchestrated
performance. This year’s theme was a very big hit amongst both the
actors and the audience: Fairy Tales! Despite most people’s
pre-conceived notions that fairy tales are intended for children,
stories like Jack and the Beanstalk, Snow White, The Wizard of Oz,
and Little Red Riding Hood were enjoyed by everyone, even the
adults.
Senior Zach Meyers was the star, and only actor, in the
ren-dition of Jack and the Beastalk. Se-niors James Hummeldorf and
Kurt Stegman were also notable for their
Kid Ink is known for his catchy hooks and his great choruses.
But one of the messages in many of his songs, including “Every City
We Go”, is that no mat-ter where you come from you can make it in
whatever you put your mind to. Kid Ink has a history of making
songs with this message but his most know song is “Hell &
Back,” which was on his first album, Up & Away. Right now Kid
Ink is on his way to the top of the rap
game. Having multiple songs in the
Billboard’s Top 100, Ink will soon be one of the major artists
taking over the rap game.
Kid Ink is personally one of my favorite artists. Since his
first al-bum in 2012 I have been a fan of his music. On my IPod I
have ev-ery mixtape and every album he has released in his career.
Kid Ink is someone that you can listen to as a pick me up because
of the great beats and the party vibe his music has to it. If you
have not given Ink a try, I would do it today.
Showmanship at the Showcasedynamic ability as actors;
Hum-meldorf was a soloist in the Be Our Guest ensemble as well as
the main and only character in a spin-off of Humpty Dumpty; Stegman
was one of the seven dwarves in Snow White and also the Woods-man
in Little Red Riding Hood. Mrs. Ruth saw the show and commented
“that both NDA and CCH actors did a great job mak-ing the fast
changes in between all those segments of fairy tales. I can see
where the children loved the content and the random adult hu-mor as
well.” All in all, the over-all composition, swiftness of the scene
changes, and the charisma of the actors made the Showcase weekend
one to remember. Above: Zach Meyers does his impression of Jack
from Jack and the Beanstalk.

There was a some-what of an uproar among the students at
Covington Catho-lic, when the news of the extra ten minutes added
on the end of the day for the 2014-2015 school year, was announced.
The added time was for an anticipated harsh winter, pos-sibly even
more severe than last year. Also with added time at the end of the
day, five set snow days were put in place to counteract days missed
be-cause of weather. However, with the planning ahead by Covington
Catholic’s admin-istration, criticism was soon to follow from
students.
This school year’s winter has been a shadow of the winter that
Northern Ken-tucky was hit with that year. Until recently. The week
of February 16th through the 20th temperatures dropped be-low
negative multiple times, and Colonels were called off school
Tuesday and Wednes-day. With already having the five snow day put
in, the ex-tra ten minutes seem point-less. Seniors are not
typically worried about the amount of days off because of their
early graduation, but the rest of the student body cannot
complete-ly understand the reasoning.
With the amount of
snow and days called off we have received in the latter days of
February and early weeks of March, the implemented five days seem
to have made sense. With one extra snow day to spare, we have
seemed to get through the winter unscathed. But what about the
extra ten minutes? Some may ask, “why the over-preparation from the
administration”?
The recent warmer weather and hope of a tough winter behind us,
many have forgotten or just gotten used to added time at the end of
the day. But I asked senior Ben Zumdick if he had any thoughts to
time added and if
Joe Pieper
It is pretty crazy to think that the senior class only has a
quarter left in their high school career. To think that your whole
world will be again getting flipped upside down as you leave the
comfort of CCH for an entirely new ex-perience is kind of scary.
Most people get sad over the pass-ing of time, but for me I look at
the new opportunities with excitement.
Going to college is one of the scariest transitions in your
young life. It so much different than anything. Go-
ing from grade school to high school is another big transi-tion,
but you still have your parents to support you. Col-lege is
different, because you are all on your own and you have to fend for
yourself and make your own decisions. Be-ing on your own can be
scary, but it should also be exciting as well. You are finally
break-ing from the mold of the shel-tered life by your parents. The
decisions you make in college will shape you for the rest of your
life. There are some com-mon things that happen when people go to
college.
Responsibility is one
of those skills that people must learn. Learning responsibil-ity
only has to be harsh if you make it that way. Yes, partying and
late nights are a big thing in college, but so is studying and
getting good grades. Getting your priorities straight is one of the
hardest things to do on your own, because you won’t have any
parents there to push you. In college you will have more free time
than you have ever experienced. This can be good or bad depending
on how wisely you use it. I am not at all saying that you should
not have a good time in college I am saying it is up to you to make
good decisions and do
not waste the money that you are spending to get an
educa-tion.
Another thing that many people who go to col-lege also lose is
their faith. Many of us will not be go-ing to private Catholic
col-leges. This means that finding a church and going may be a
little harder than usual. Just because it is harder though and we
think that we do not have the time does not mean we shouldn’t find
time to go. Like I said before, in college you have more free time
than you have ever experienced, a little of that time should be
given to
he thought it was ‘too much’ from the administration. “I guess I
would say I’ve gotten used to the extra time, but in my opinion,
five implemented snow days AND the extra time seems a bit much.
Given we did have an unusually harsh winter last year you can
under-stand the thinking of the ad-ministration, but I would think
that most winters will not be as outrageous as what we had last
year.” And I tend to agree with Ben. It would be interest-ing to
know if there was any other reasoning behind the added ten minutes.
One other possibility could be all the de-lays we have, assemblies,
and events that go on at Covington
Catholic in a given week are beginning to take away from the
mandatory amount of days the state requires for schools to complete
each year.
Whatever the reason-ing may be, it is difficult to argue if many
are still upset about the just ten minutes. With Spring right
around the corner, I’m sure many would enjoy getting out of school
earlier, but I would also be willing to bet, there are not many who
go to a school as in-teresting, fun, and full of sur-prises as
Covington Catholic has each and every day.
Has the Ten Minutes Been Worth It?
Make Good Use of Your Time in CollegeGod. Many times colleges
will offer services to many differ-ent religions right on
campus.
It is kind of a strange feeling to have when I think about it.
To know that we only have around two and a half months left
together as a class. Just remember that no matter what we are all
still Colonels and if one of us falters we should try and pick him
back up, because we are all brothers that have a the spirit of a
Colo-nel and that it is one thing that will never die.

Varsity sports have become extremely competi-tive these days and
standing out among highly talented teammates and competitors is
difficult to say the least. Sports team at Covington Catholic have
been competitive for decades and the players are held at a higher
standard than most. Performing on the big-gest stages, in front of
entire communities, and even the state, takes a leadership level of
the highest degree. One person who encompasses all of these
characteristics is se-nior at Covington Catholic, Bo Schuh.
Bo has been a four year varsity basketball player, and grown
tremendously un-der the guidance of Coach Scott Ruthsatz. Playing
bas-
ketball his entire life, Bo has played among the best in the
state with his AAU and high school teams. Gaining re-spect
throughout the state for tremendous hustle and heart, Bo began to
receive critical varsity min-utes his sophomore year. But junior
year, was one to remem-ber. Starting out, Bo and his teammates won
the Suncoast Holiday Tourna-ment in Sarasota, Florida, the most
no-table tournament in Covington Catholic basketball history. Going
through the regular season 24-2, the Colonels rolled
into postseason, finish-ing it off with a State tournament run
which ended with the school’s first ever state title.
Not only on the court does Bo excel, but in the classroom as
well. Bo will finish he four years at Covingotn Catholic with a 3.8
GPA and cred-its in multiple advanced placement classes. Ad-vanced
United States history, World History, Psychology, Calculus,
Literature, and Litera-ture and Composition. With all the success
Bo has achieved over his il-lustrious career was add-ed to on
February 19th, 2015 when he became the twenty-second mem-ber of the
1000 point
club at Covington Catholic. Having had senior night and other
games postponed due to weather, so Bo had to be pa-tient to achieve
this momen-tous achievement.
Bo has had an illus-trious career at Covington Catholic and
continues to ex-cel in the classroom. Bo plans to play basketball
and major in Pre-med in college. As far as choosing which college
to attend, Bo is undecided and waiting so see how his senior
basketball season goes. Post-season play has been exciting, to say
the least, so far the bas-ketball Colonels and Bo and the rest of
seniors are looking to end their season nothing short of being
crowned state champions.

If you are an artistic stu-dent who loves his Instagram, then
Photo Club is the club for you! This club meets two to three times
a month, sharing picture and plan-ning certain spots and areas to
go where they can capture beautiful pictures. Some of their photo
spots include Spring Grove Cemetery, the campus of Covington
Catholic, and different parks and nature spots all over Northern
Kentucky. They hold a photo contest at the end of the year, where
each member of the club may submit their best picture,
with the victor taking home a special prize. I caught up with
senior Kurt Stegman, who is the club president, and asked him about
the Photo Club. Kurt said even though the Photo Club is mainly for
taking pictures, they do help out in other regards. Every month,

This month’s Culture Club outing saw the Colonels have a movie
night-in watching the French animated film, “The Paint-ing”. The
French cuisine gave the authentic everyone wants for each
outing.
Despite the small turnout for this outing, there was no lack of
enjoyment. “The Painting” to say the least, was different.
Watch-ing “The Painting,” some may be reminded of the books and
movies you loved from your own child-hood: The “Oz” and “Narnia”
series, and “The Phantom Toll-booth.” Without getting overtly
re-ligious, Laguionie brings a viewer gently up to the edge of some
very large ideas and then, in a final scene that has the ability to
lift the hairs on your head, brings Lola the seeker to a moment of
revelation and light. And then it has the imagination to go beyond
that. If one were to watch this with their children, there would be
a few things to discuss on the car ride home.
Patrick Ballow, Nathan Ur-
ban, Miss Garrett, and Mrs. Ruth were the brave few who showed
up for the mid-week feast. Brie cheese, French bread, croissants,
and Mocha lattes were a perfect entre for the most entic-ing part
of the evening, dessert. Ending the night with creampuffs and crème
brullee was a right ending for a night in what some may have called
Paris.

Headed by Mr. Lubbers and Mr. Hartman, 24 of the finest
stu-dents of Covington Catholic trav-elled to the University of
Cincin-nati on Wednesday, February 25th to participate in the TEAMS
com-petition. The TEAMS competition is an event where schools from
all over the tristate bring some of their most intelligent students
to compete against other schools in a series of math and science
tests.
Seniors Adrian Neff, Erik Schutzman, and Chris Holthaus led the
young Covington Catholic teams consisting primarily of ju-niors and
sophomores going into the tests. Each school was split up into
several teams based on age, and the Covington Catholic students
were split up into three teams consisting of eight students each.
Scholarship money can be received for excellent scores on the
tests, so the students take the competition with utmost
seriousness. The students will re-ceive their scores in a few
weeks to see how they fared against other schools and will be
notified if any scholarship money will be reward-ed.
Since the event runs from seven o’clock in the morning to three
o’clock in the afternoon, there is a break in between test-taking
to enjoy delicious food and refresh-ing beverages. Senior Adrian
Neff praised the Swiss rolls served at lunch and showed excitement
in saying when asked about his expe-rience, “It was a genuinely fun
time, and I had the chance to make a lot of friends.”
Overall the TEAMS com-petition was an enjoyable time for the
students as they got a day off of school to show off their brain
power against the best minds in the area in effort to win
scholarship money for college.
Durham Shares with Photographers About LandscapeClub helps set
up, make the food, and sell it and the drinks. When I asked Kurt
about why he liked the Photo Club, he told me,
“I love taking pictures. Pictures are fun.”
Just earlier this month, the
club invited professional landscap-er photographer, our own Mr.
Ron Durham to speak to the group about his work. He talked about
the ba-sics of good landscaper photogra-phy and showed some of his
work over the past ten years. Mr. Dur-ham no longer produces the
work that he once did, but he is still a good source for
photography.
So, if you love to capture great mo-ments in nature, a great
sports play, or posing with a pal, then the Photo Club is the place
to be!

February 4th is a day com-monly known as college signing day for
all sports. An athlete can verbally commit before this date, but
once February 4th hits they can sign a paper saying they are coming
to a certain college, and the scholar-ships cannot be taken away
unless
certain circumstances occur. It is an exciting day with much
anticipation over high profile athletes.
Our Covington Catholic community also had some signees on
February 4th. We had two football players by the names of Jacob
Roth and Sam Murrer who both signed to a college to play football
there. Jacob Roth was the Center for our very own football team. He
had a
fantastic season and career for Cov Cath and was rewarded with
some colleges interested in him. He chose to go to Center College,
a Division 3 college. Good Luck to Jacob Roth on his decision to
continue being a student athlete.
Sam Murrer was the Left Guard for Covington Catholic. He
only played two seasons of foot-ball after juggling other sports
his first two years, but he turned into a fantastic Left Guard. His
hard work and dedication to the weight room has allowed him to
receive many college offers. He chose to go to Mi-ami of Ohio on a
large schol-arship. Congratulations on his signing to be a Red
Hawk.
The ceremony took place after school on Thursday, February 4th
where the two sat at a table with their families and signed the
papers. It took place in the multi-purpose room where anyone who
wished to come was welcome. The reaction of the athletes and their
parents was amazing, knowing their hard work had finally paid off.
Good luck to both of these young men in the fu-ture.

In February ,CovCath held the first ever pep rally for a new
pro-gram that is getting started at CCH next year! The S.T.E.M.
program is get-ting a lot of attention and should add a wide
variety to our school in the fu-ture. The program is led by the
great Mr. Lind who came back to CCH just this year after a long
period where he taught in Ohio. S.T.E.M’s main focus is on the
subjects of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Currently in the United States, STEM jobs are what needs the most
filling, and there are going to be endless open jobs in the future
for STEM students.
The pep rally showed just how fun and exciting STEM activities
can be. The crowd was in constant awe and amazement of how fun and
excit-ing all the activities seemed. The best part about STEM is
that students’ jaws drop to the floor from fascination, yet at the
same time are learning and taking in all of the information of
these STEM activities.
After an amazing showing at the STEM pep rally, I am not sure if
there will be enough STEM classes to accommodate all of the
students that will for sure be taking any STEM classes next year.
The future is bright for all STEM students, and I cannot wait to
see how big the CCH STEM program under the leadership of Mr. Lind
will go!

On February 6th, three stu-dents represented our school at the
Leadership Conference in Spring-dale, Ohio. The students that went
were juniors David Rice, Bren-dan Kamer, and sophomore Logan
Franxman. Coach Zerhusen acted as the student’s small group leader.
Collectively they did a fantastic job representing Covington
Catholic.
The day kicked off with a keynote speaker who emphasized the
importance of leaders in today’s society. He stressed how
impor-
tant is to not conform to the wrong group behavior and rather
act re-sponsibly and be a role model. Af-ter the speaker, everyone
broke out in small groups. The students from various schools
discussed the val-ues of leaders and the importance of them.
Covington Catholic sent three fine young men to this confer-ence
to instill life values that will grow in these men as they mature.
The day was a great experience for the young men as it will implant
in-valuable life lessons into the gentle-men that went.

Mr. Gastenveld is a first year teach at Covcath and is already
becom-ing the favorite teacher of many stu-dents who have him in
class.
Mr. Gastenveld and his wife had their first baby on February
26th. This was great news for everybody who knows Gastenveld as he
is such a great guy who deserves nothing but the best. Their
daughter Iris Daniel Gastenveld was born at 7:55 am. She weighs 9
pounds and 6 ounces and is 21 inches long. So far everyone is
healthy and happy!

In February, Michael Pikar represented Covington Catholic in the
yearly Shakespeare Competition. He competed against other students
at Covington Catholic in late January to get the honor of
representing Cov Cath in the competition.
Michael was one of 17 students to compete in the competition on
February 28th. The 17 students were each from
different schools from Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati. This
first round of 17 was held at the Play House in the Park where the
students had the opportunity to perform on the stage. Each student
performed one sonnet and one monologue in the first round. After
all of the students performed 6 students were picked to go onto the
next round: Michael was one of those 6. In the finals, the
following weekend, Michael was asked to perform the same sonnet and
monologue but also another cold piece--another monologue. In the
finals Michael received 4th place.
Mrs. Ruth who was in charge of the Cov Cath competition was very
proud of Michael for getting 4th. “I heard members of the ESU, the
organization that sponsors the competi-tion, say that they thought
Michaeael did a fabulous job,” said Mrs. Ruth. Michael is
only a junior at Cov Cath so next year he is expected to return
to the com-petition.

Regional Youth Leadership is a series of meetings that take
place monthly where different top-ics are discussed. The categories
are criminal justice, diversity, health, law, local government,
arts and cul-ture, and life success skills. Out of several hundred
that applied, two of our very own Cov Cath Colonels made this
prestigious group. Mitch MacKnight and Lucas Timmerman made this
group and are pleased with the outcome. Mitch said, “I like it
because it’s extremely inter-esting while at the same time makes it
fun for the students.” There are 10 meetings and they take place
monthly or sometimes bi-monthly. Students get to skip school on
days where they have meetings.
At the end of August the orientation took place where the
members learned more about the program as well as met the team. In
early September, they had a retreat meeting where they learned
about their skills as well as weaknesses. They learned how the
skills will be
an asset in the future and how to fix their weaknesses. In the
middle of September, the RYL program went to the Northern Kentucky
Career Center where they learned about Criminal Justice. They
learned about the role of cops in the Cincin-nati area and how they
are leaders in our community. In October, the top-ic of discussion
was diversity where they went to the Toyota Headquar-ters. Here
they learned about racial rights and were encouraged to not
discriminate in the work force. In November, the topic of
discussion was Health which took place at Cin-cinnati Children’s
Hospital where they learned about Healthcare.
In November, a Mock Law Trial was optional but strongly
sug-gested where students learned up-front how to prepare and
handle a trial, as well as got some speaking experience and
practice. Next they were required to learn about law and what
exactly lawyers do as well as the effect on society. They went to a
courthouse (go-figure) for this meeting. Local government was then
taught at the Campbell Coun-
ty Fiscal Court where the students learned to appreciate our
govern-ment system more. Just a cou-ple weeks ago our two Youth
Leaders learned about art and culture where they went to the School
for Cre-ative and Per-forming Arts. At this exercise they were
introduced to different arts as well as how art makes both the
economy and the city bet-ter. Their Youth Leadership Jour-ney is
almost done with just a life success skills meeting and then
graduation.
Overall, this program is a huge success, and we are proud to
have two students in the program.
They like the program because it is both informative and hands
on.
Good luck to these men as they graduate in the next couple
months. They have great careers ahead of them and will make a
difference in the world.

Presidents’ Day is the federal holiday reserved for honoring the
leading men of our country since the countries conception in 1776.
This year’s Presidents’ Day fell on Monday February 16th and was
created to honor our first president George Washington’s Birthday,
which is Febru-ary 22nd. Now, we honor all 43 presidents on this
day ever since the first Presidents’ Day in 1885.
In terms of financial institutions such as banks and the postal
ser-vice, Presidents’ Day serves as a day off from business, but
not all busi-nesses are off on this day. All schools are off on
this day, and the general thought among students is that
Presidents’ Day serves no real purpose oth-er than giving students
a day off. As a country, we have shied away from the true meaning
of Presidents’ Day, which is to honor our leaders of the past and
present.

What is Ash Wednesday, Colonels? Ash Wednesday is the name given
to the first day of the season of Lent, in which the Pastor applies
ashes to the foreheads of Christians to signify a repentance.
Although it is not a holy day of obligation, it is still highly
recommended that you attend mass to receive ashes. The ash ceremony
takes the place of the homily. The parishioners line up as if they
were lining up for the Eucharist. The Priest
will make the sign of the cross on your forehead saying
“Re-member, O man that you are dust, and unto dust you shall
return”.
It is also a day where consuming any type of meat is not
al-lowed which also ties into the second part of this article,
lent. Every year, people all around give up something that really
does not mean much to them. I challenge anyone reading this article
to take time and think of some-thing that would take
a lot of strength to give up, whether it’s fast food or soft
drinks or alcohol and spend these 40 days of lent fasting. If what
you are giving up is a bad habit, maybe the habit will be broken
after fasting from it and you will not even want to return to doing
that habit after Lent ends. You never know what could happen.
Challenge yourself, Colonels.
Celebrate Presidents’ Day Ash Wednesday is Not Just Another
Day

With February coming to a close, the Colonel Varsity Basket-ball
Team gave one last push going into the district and regional
tour-naments. The Colonels finished the regular season out strong
by win-ning 9 games in the month of Feb-ruary with one loss. The
lone loss was at the hands of the Dixie Colo-nels and was an utter
breakdown by the entire by Blue Colonels Basket-ball Team. The
Dixie loss, although embarrassing, only strengthen the Colonels as
a team as they needed to buckle down for the post season, stay
focused, and keep their eye on the main prize – A State
Champion-ship.
The Colonels went into post season play as the one seed in the
district tournament and were matched up with the Beechwood Tigers
in the first round, whom the Colonels had beaten once already.
After handily defeating the Tigers, The Holmes Bulldogs were
ready
to avenge their regular season loss to the Colonels in the
District Fi-nals. From the moment the ball was tipped, the men in
the blue and white controlled the tempo of the game and ended up
blowing out the
bulldogs by a score of 80-53.
After defeating Holmes, the Colonels were squared off against
the Newport Wildcats in the first
round of the Regional Tournament, yet another team the Colonels
had defeated in the regular season. What should have been a
non-competitive game was just the opposite and the Colonels found
themselves at the
mercy of the point guard of Newport. With 2 seconds left on the
clock and the Colonels up by one, the point guard of Newport went
to the free throw line with a chance to win the game. After making
the first free throw, the second free throw was a little strong and
the game went into overtime where the Colonels prevailed. The very
next game, the Colonels found them-selves in nearly the same
position as they trailed to St. Henry at half by four.
Due to a fiery Coach Ruthsatz half time speech, the Colonels
came out clicking on all cylinders and won the game against the
Crusaders handily. CovCath was headed back
to the Regional Championship for the third consecutive year.
For the third year in a row, and the third time this season,
Cov-ington Catholic would face the Bull-dogs of Holmes High School
in the championship of the Regional Tour-nament to decide which
team would get a chance to play in the State Tournament at Rupp
Arena. After going down at half, the Colonels played team
basketball in the second half and came out with a 45-37 vic-tory
and punched their ticket to the Kentucky High School Basketball
State Tournament. Bo Schuh, Coo-per Theobald, and Cole VonHandorf
were named to the region and dis-trict all-tournament team with
Cole being named MVP of both tourna-ments.
The CovCath team is primed and ready to make another deep run in
the State Tournament in an effort to bring back another state title
to Covington Catholic. Good luck Col-onels and bring home the
hardware!
Varsity Basketball Finishes Strong in Regional Play

The Colonels’ Junior Var-sity Basketball fell short of a
Re-gional Championship when losing to New Cath 65-50 in the finals.
They struggled mightily and would love to have another shot at the
Thoroughbreds. The team should be commended for their effort all
season.
The season was far from a failure despite the unfortunate
end-ing. The Colonels finished 17-5 with tough losses to Trinity,
Louis-ville St. Xavier, Moeller, and New Cath twice. Both are
powerhouses in the area. The team led by Coach Matthew Otte was
young and tal-ented featuring two starting fresh-men, Aiden
Ruthsatz and AJ Mayer. The two freshmen were standouts often
leading the squad. Sopho-mores Gunnar Schuh, Max Bishop, and Ross
Basford were also signifi-cant contributors.
The future of the Colonels’ JV squad is bright, as the freshman
class is loaded with talent with their current team finishing 29-0.
Watch out for big things from the JV Bas-ketball Colonels next
season.

After finishing the regular season a perfect 24-0 the Freshman
Colonel Basketballers set their sights on the end of the year Jack
Kaelin Freshman Invitational Tournament, and the tournament went
just as their regular season. The colonels dominated every game of
the tournament, easily winning the championship game.
The team started their run by beating Scott handily 50-14. Next
was Boone County and the outcome was just like the last; the
Colonels won big 52-19. Cov Cath met Newport Central Catholic in
the semifinals and were able to win in closer than normal game
46-36. The team got right back to their streak of utter dominance
by beat-ing Highlands 60-19 in the championship game.
The team finished the tournament as champions and won every game
by an average of 27.5 points. Every single player on the team
contributed to the championship run, but four players were named to
the All-Tourna-ment Team. Those were Center Jake Walters, Forward
Austin Lay, Forward C.J. Frederick and
Congratulations once again to the Freshman Colonels on a
historic season. We are all looking forward to great things in the
near future you.

Wresting in its second year as a program at CovCath has
substan-tial potential to be a dynasty in the coming years.
Mandatory conditioning starts in October and the season starts in
November and goes through Feb-ruary.
With our first ever home wrestling match, the team is now
ap-proaching the state championship meet. Unfortunately, no members
were eligible to participate in the state competition. Senior Joe
Marino is an alternate, who will attend the meet. He took 5th place
in his division, but since only the first 4 can go to state, he
will wait and hope someone will back out to prove his dominance and
be the first state champion at Cov Cath.

As the swimming season comes to a thrilling close, it also comes
to another disappointment. The Colonels once again fell to St.
Xavier and got another state runner up. Getting second place four
years in a row is heart-wrenching, but Coach Dickmann had some
other things to say about that this year at a school assembly right
after state competition.
With the swimming/diving team seated behind him, Coach Dick-mann
explained how the swimming places work and showed how tal-
ented our Colonels are in the wa-ter. Everyone watched as about
20 swimmers stood up to show who made it to state. Out of 600
swim-
mers, every-one who stood up made it to the top 16 in state in
their r e s p e c t e d events which is impressive.
But just because the Colonels got 2nd place does not mean that
we did not suc-
ceed. Senior Louie Hunt got 1st in state in diving and set a
state diving record for the most points in a div-
ing event. On top of that, the Colo-nels 400 meter relay (led by
Junior Brendan Meyer and Seniors Todd Sheets, Mike Summe, and Rob
Newman) won the event in a thrill-ing finish against the Champions
St. Xavier. The time set a school and state record.
As we celebrate all we can do is work toward the future. Some of
the Colonels who are not gradu-ating will be hitting the pool again
soon in their respect clubs, as they look toward state next year.
The goal is winning state, and this team is heading in the right
direction.
Coming in 2nd is NOT Settling--We ARE Coming Back!

Every year before the track season begins the track team takes
part in an indoor track league to try and warm up for the upcoming
season. Although it is just a warmup, this year’s indoor track
turned out to be a pretty special season.
The team this year attended three competition meets. Jake
Erpenbeck this year turned in some very good performances. Jake
broke a record in the 55 meters for the fastest time ever by a CCH
runner. The team also took 3rd place in a meet in Ohio.
With the strong showing by the team this year indoor, hopefully
that will spell for some good success when the spring time
hits.
Track Team Prepares for Season Indoor Wrestling Ends 2nd Season

Senior wrestlers Joe Marino, Craig McGhee, and Alex Beckes are

Staff Construction is soon to be completed on the new tennis
courts, which are located behind the baseball field, but
unfortunately it is not soon enough for Coach Al Hertsenberg. The
deadline is April, but the Tennis Team will be well into their
season by then, weather-permitting.
“We’re pretty excited to have our own facility on campus,” Coach
Al Hertsenberg said. “It’s been in the works for five years.”
Coach Herts began coaching tennis in 1991, along with soccer. He
retired from his soccer coaching in 2009 to put all his energy into
getting the tennis courts at Covington Catholic. These past couple
of springs have been wet seasons, pushing much of the play late
into the season. No mat-ter, that did not stop the excellent play
of the team. In 2010, the team was State Runner-Up. In 2009 and
2010, Jimmy Roebker was Individual State Champion. And in 2013,
current senior Austin Hussey was Individual State Champion. Austin
is looking for that again this season. Painting is what is left,
along with sidewalks. “The court surface has to be a certain
temperature before they’ll come and paint it,” Hertsen-berg said.
“That first snow day in November, they were ready to come and paint
it the next week. Once it’s warm enough, they’ll paint a blue
playing surface with green outlines. It’ll probably be ready in
April.” The Colonel Tennis Team is hoping for a possible 14th
straight Ninth Region championship. We are all looking forward to a
home match for these Tennis Colonels.

Senior year is a year in which people start to not care about
grades any more and start to care about other things---things such
as college and sports. Every week the anticipation is high for an
IBL game. This year’s senior class takes IBL extremely
competitively as ev-eryone wants to leave CCH as champions. So far
this year there are some clear favor-ites to go far in the tourney,
teams that have no chance, and some possible sleep-ers.
Team Micek 5-0 is unstoppable; their closest game was 7 points
to Team Huber, but Team Micek looks very strong with Adam Wagner
and Parker Kenney leading the team. Team
Schuh is also 5-0 with Alex Wagner and Karl Schmitter putting up
huge performances. These two teams are the only teams undefeated
and sadly are not scheduled to play each other during the regular
season, but hope-
fully they can meet in the championship so we can see this
clas-sic fight.
Team Ruwe is 3-2 with losses to both the undefeated teams. Both
of the games were close, but Team Ruwe ended up on the bottom both
times. They are a force to be reckoned with, and I believe they can
come out on top. Their only weak-
ness is height, but they have plenty of sharp shooters. Team
Foertsch led by Patrick Ballow and Luke Foertsch are 2-3, but have
great re-bounding skills and have solid de-fense. Maybe they can
get their act
together for the tournament. Team
Huber is also 2-3 and is struggling right now but has enough
talent to pull an upset.
The two bad teams this year are Team Schmidt and Team Dinn. Team
Schmidt has talent, but the ef-fort just is not there. They are
1-4

At Covington Catholic, there is a rich tradition of basketball
in the gymnasium. Multiple district and regional championships,
trips down to Rupp Arena for state tour-naments, and even the 2014
KH-SAA State Championship banner is hanging in our gym today. The
intensity and willingness to win is there, whether you can see it
in a Cooper Theobald technical foul or Coach Ruthsatz’s passion for
win-ning on the sideline. Yet, only the students know the darkest
secret of the basketball tradition at Coving-ton Catholic: the real
basketball is played on Sunday nights in the IBL, the Mecca of high
school basket-ball. Where no fouls are called and it’s a fight to
the death for a win, IBL never disappoints.
The Junior IBL has been es-pecially promising this year. With
games in action the past week, there was great basketball all
around. Team Stegman and Team Ayres both continued their winning
ways, as both improved to 4-1 on the sea-son; Nick Porras led Team
Steg-man with 30 points to an 88-62 win over Romes, who falls to
3-2, while Ethan Sammons led Team Ayres to a 70-60 victory over
Team Flynn, dropping them to an abysmal 1-4. In the final two games
of the night, the crowd saw Team Haught get above .500 for the
year, as they im-proved to 3-2 behind a 47-45 double overtime
thriller over Team Shields, dropping them to a record of 1-3; Team
Haught was led by Robert Young, who dropped 16 points in the win.
Finally, Team Fagin im-proved to 2-3, while the defeated
Team Ward dropped to 0-4.
The night before these games offered an especially thrill-ing
game. Two of the top teams in the league – Team Beck and Team
Ziegler – had a showdown in the night cap, and it did not
disappoint. In a barn burner, Team Ziegler pre-vailed with a tough
win over Team Beck in an offensive-heavy game, with the final score
being 90-84. Even behind Captain Kyle Beck’s career high 50 points,
Team Beck could not pull out a win.
As the season is winding down, the tournament picture is coming
into place. With both Team Stegman and Team Ayres sitting at 4-1,
it seems that they would be the favorites. Yet, it is hard to count
out Teams Beck and Ziegler after
the offensive performances they both put on. Or maybe, just
maybe, could Team Ward shock the world (CovCath) and pull off a
Cinderella run to the finals of the IBL Cham-pionship? We shall
find out soon enough.
this year with their only win coming to Team Dinn. Team Dinn is
a joke team. They have themed games and are just in it for fun,
which is very respectable. They have no chance to win a game but
everyone enjoys scoring mass points against them. The only question
is what theme they will come in; it is a huge ex-citement.
One of the most exciting parts about senior year is getting to
play the faculty team. The faculty team includes Coach B, Coach
Ar-nold, Coach Hovan, Mr. Hansman, Mr. Lubbers, and Mr. Gastenveld.
They are tall and good at rebound-ing. This team is undefeated and
looks to stay that way with so much talent. Their scoring is
usually pret-ty even, with Coach B leading most times. It is
amazing how strong our faculty team has gotten over the years.
The finals are coming up fast, so get ready for the last
excit-ing matchups.

Sophomore IBL is going strong with several teams sepa-rating
themselves from the pack. Team Bayless started off hot begin-ning
the season 2-0 with zero signs of slowing down. Let’s catch up to
see what has happened in week 3 and 4 action.
In week 3 play, Team Bay-less crushed Team Dames 67-32.
Galvin was the high scorer for Bayless with 22. Team S c h a b e
l l beat Team Mullen 52-20 in a nail-biter. Briede led Schabell
with 21. Team Boydston defeated Schulte 58-48 as captain
Boydston dropped 20. In the final matchup of the week Curk
obliter-ated Rohling 87-45. Rasheed Ameen had 25.
In week 4 play, Team Mullen forfeit-ed against Rohling. Team
Schabell beat Curk 58-57 as Briede has 17 from Schabell. Team Dames
beat Kennedy 53-52. Ben France had a great game with 21 points.
Team Boydston remains undefeated beating Cronin 51-42.
A few teams are separating them-selves from the com-petition;
however, can a team that has struggled thus far surprise people in
the playoffs? We will find out soon with the playoffs kicking off
in the second week of March.

Intramurals are always a way for freshmen to find new hob-bies,
meet new people, and create memories that will be a staple in a
high school experience. And sports can pave a path for those
memories.
Intramural basketball has been a highlight for students at
Covington Catholic year in and year out. But the anticipation
fresh-men have over their first year of the Intramural Basketball
League is something special. All the stories told from fathers,
brothers, and rel-atives make for four years of com-petitive games,
and lasting memo-ries. The process of choosing teams freshman year
consists of pickers choosing the familiar players they played with
in grade school and a few others they knew coming into their
freshman year.
So far the freshmen have gotten off to the start they had
all
hoped for. Four weeks into their season, only half of their fun
is over. The freshman class has already proven how dominant their
sports teams have been in the fall and winter, and intramural
basketball is no drop off. Competitive games week in and week out
makes it enjoyable to spectate, referee, or even just to come and
watch your fellow classmates have fun.
Halfway through the IBL season the freshmen have put up
impressive num-bers. Michael Schaefer, of team Richards, has
averaged well over 20 points per game and Team Knollman dominated
weeks 3 through 5. Week 4 saw the upset of Team Disken over Team
Wulfek with a score of 63-53. Week 4 also saw a barn-burner
be-tween Team Ward and Team Kennedy but ended up with Ward coming
out on top 63-45 due to free throw shooting and not turn-ing the
ball over.
The playoffs approaching, Team Knollman is looking to be the
favorite; however, Team Richards, led by Michael Schaefer is a
sleeper many may not be ex-pecting to make a deep run.
