The Jamestown Sun hands out these bravos this week:
Bravo to the 2020 Jamestown High School LifeSmarts team, which won the National LifeSmarts Championship on Monday. The team, including three JHS graduates, defeated Rhode Island in the semifinal round and Pennsylvania in the championship round to win. This is the first national win for a JHS team, which represented North Dakota in the event.
Bravo to engraved paver stones being part of the road diet project in Jamestown. The pavers that will be part of the pedestrian bumpouts on First Avenue will add a bit of information on our history where people are walking in the downtown.
DES MOINES, IA. (NewsDakota.com) – The University of Jamestown men’s volleyball team saw its season come to a close on Thursday night as they fell 3-0 (25-23, 25-17, 25-17) to Park University (MO).
The Jimmies combined to just hit .048 as a team as the Pirates delivered a .280 hitting percentage in the match to outlast Jamestown. Freshman Derek Owens led UJ in kills with eight and was the only Jimmie to hit above .200 for the match.
Samuel Jackman finished with seven kills for Jamestown, and freshman Derek Correa had 25 assists during three sets. Caylor Cox led UJ in total digs with seven, and the GPAC Libero of the Year Braden Neumann had six. Park advances into the semifinals for the NAIA Men’s Championship.
JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – To adjust for COVID-19, AAUW-Jamestown and the board for TechSavvy & STEMTastic made the decision to go virtual for their event in 2021.
Co-chair Erica Althoff says TechSavvy & STEMTastic is usually a hands-on program for area students to experience firsthand how science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) can lead to exciting careers.
Althoff says the event would usually bring in STEM professionals for a daylong, STEM immersion event. They could see upwards of 500 students every year.
Rather than cancel the event, she says the board formed a virtual option for area schools to partake in.
Teachers could then take the materials and present them to their students at their discretion with some guidance from the board. The program began in Mid-March and Althoff says they look to have all sessions done by May.

Wrestlers from five New Mexico high schools competed at Western New Mexico University’s football stadium in Silver City last Friday in a rare outdoors, dual-match competition hosted by Silver High School. Silver and WNMU hope to collaborate to make this an annual event.
Wrestling, al fresco.
A unique partnership between Silver High and Western New Mexico last weekend created one of the most unusual scenes of the year in what has already been the most unconventional of prep sports seasons:
Outdoor wrestling.

“We started doing our research,” said Silver athletic director Gary Allison. “We couldn’t find anything else at the high school level that does that. We decided … to see if we could be the first.”
