ATHLETICSTiger Pride

First of all, TIGER PRIDE!

The Culture, Commitment and Competitiveness philosophy is strong and vibrant on our court, Eields, and courses.Once again seven of our X Country athletes earned medals this weekend by placing in their races at the Old Pueblo Invitational. Tim Hendrickson, Quinn ChofEin, Jordan Toone, Mele HalauEia, Jessica Platt, Rhiana Bourguet, and Katie Kelly all placed in the Top Ten of their respective races.

The Tigers Men's Golf team placed in the top 5 of the Rivalry Cup Golf Tournament in Phoenix this past Friday and Saturday. In their Tiger Pride fashion, they came back on Saturday hungry with 3C's. They embraced the culture by committing as teammates and competing like true Tiger and winning the match for Saturday. Our young men are making a name for Marana Golf which we are extremely proud of them.The Swim team did very well against Salpointe and St. Augustines in their meet on Wednesday. The swimming Tigers took 2nd place and missed Eirst by only 21 points. They showed even more of the 3's at the Chandler Invitational this weekend by having a few close qualiEiers for a few of our Tigers. This team has taken a grasp of the competitiveness of the 3C's and is showing their increasing growth as competitors in DI. As I am sure you are aware.....we had a GREAT week for Marana Football. Our freshmen played in prime time heat and defeated Flowing Wells. Following their outstanding performance, the JV team took the win against Amphi in front of a huge fan base on Thursday night. Friday Night Lights at the Tiger Pride Stadium proved to be victorious for our Varsity Tigers against the Catalina Trojans.

Honored to be the ADMs. Montiel Turner

Which of the following changes to the brain caused by teenage drinking scares you the most?

��R�Disruption of adolescent brain development

��R�Damage to prefrontal cortex of the brain (responsible for goal-setting & decision-making)

� ��R�Set-back in future brain development

� ��R�May alter life course because of subtle brain damage

��R�Possible permanent negative changes in the structure of the adult brain

due to binge drinking during the teenage years

Choose a timekeeper. Give that person a watch with a second hand or a stop-watch feature. (Or set a timer

on a stove or microwave.) Line up family members against a wall. The timekeeper says, “Go” and

starts the clock. Everyone moves to the wall on the other side of the room. The goal is to get to the other wall in exactly one minute. If a family member

reaches the wall too soon or must slow way down just before reaching the wall, she loses that round. Play

a number of times to see if your family members get better at estimating a minute.

Los adolescentes a menudo subestiman las peligrosas consecuencias del consumo de alcohol por menores de edad. El daño que se puede causar en el cerebro del adolescente por el uso de alcohol, especialmente si bebe en exceso (cinco bebidas a la vez para los hombres, cuatro para las mujeres), es ignorado por los adolescentes pero sigue siendo muy real y aterrador. Conseguir que tus hijos pospongan el consumo de alcohol hasta los 21 años puede ayudar a que sus cerebros maduren normalmente, a que tomen mejores decisiones, y que tengan una vida positiva.

¿Cuál de los siguientes cambios en el cerebro del adolescente que consume alcohol te asusta más?
