However, this year it is far from the same as the Knights are still in action and so are the cheerleaders with all of their decorations in the hallway.<\/p>\n<p>The Knights boys\u2019 basketball team defeated the Ottawa Hills Green Bears last Tuesday and the Wayne Trace Raiders last Friday to win the Regional Championship and advance to the State Finals in Columbus. This is the first time since 2003 that the team has done so and this is the main topic around the halls of school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a great feeling knowing that this is what us seniors are going out on,\u201d said senior Cameron Etzler. \u201cIt just shows that all the hard work we have put in over the years is finally paying off. We\u2019ve had great success because we are extremely unselfish and we have great team chemistry. No one on the team cares how many points they score a night, it\u2019s all about getting wins. It also helps that we are like a family on the court and nobody wants to let each other down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Knights will face off against the Tri-Village Pioneers tonight at 8:30 p.m. The cheerleaders and pep band will be accompanying the team at the game.<\/p>\n<p>The Knight Vision, Jazz Band, and Marching Band leave Orlando, Florida, this Saturday to perform in Disney World. After long competition seasons from both the marching band and show choir, it\u2019s time for everyone to celebrate and relax in the warm weather, something that is almost rare nowadays in Convoy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to hanging out with my friends on the bus ride there,\u201d said sophomore Carter Brown. \u201cI think that going around the parks will be a lot of fun, but I\u2019m going to sweat a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>OGT\u2019s officially ended on Tuesday for the sophomores. The juniors and seniors had a two hour delay both Monday and Tuesday. They came in to school at 10 am. and then the school had shortened periods for the day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did a lot of Study Island leading up to the OGT\u2019s,\u201d said sophomore Andrew Boley. \u201cIt helped a lot when the tests came for real.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Next Monday the school will start their extended day schedule due to the winter weather. School will be in session from 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m. This will continue for 33 straight school days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPractices are going to have to be changed and everything is going to be different,\u201d said junior Lindsay Motycka.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Daniel Joseph &nbsp; This time last year, Crestview students were getting over a disappointing end of the season for their boys\u2019 basketball team and looking forward to a promising baseball season.
