AA Coaches of the Year Award

On February 14th, Brian Reynolds and Ted Castel received  the AA Coaches of the Year Award for excellence with their wrestling program.  Our Jr. High wrestling team had 20 wins and only five losses.  The amazing fact is that they only had 13 wrestlers and there are 18 weight classes.  Both Coach Reynolds and Coach Castel used ingenious strategy in accomplishing this task.  They took 3rd at The Blairsville Tournament, 1st place at the Central Martinsburg Tournament, 3rd at The Penn Cambria Tournament, and 5th at the Bellwood Invitational.  The team chose to forfeit their chances for 3rd place at Bellwood because they wanted to wrestle a different team.  If they wrestled for 3rd, they would have matched up against Moshannon Valley, and they had wrestled them and won against them earlier in the season.  This choice was offered to the team by the coaching staff, and they had ownership in the decision.  Mr. Nikolishen is extremely proud of the Jr. High Program.  Brian and Ted are insuring that much more than wrestling is taking place with our sport.  They are great role models, and go way beyond their call of duty.  Having the opportunity to witness such perfection and being able to work with them is a gift.

Cupcakes for a Cure

Every year Central Cambria's National Honor Society students help raise money for their school's Relay for Life team.  This year, CC's NHS decided to promote a fundraiser that was sure to please anyone with a knack for baking or in possession of a sweet tooth.  Central Cambria's "1,000 Cupcakes for a Cure" provided NHS members with the opportunity to hone in our their baking skills as well as allowed the students at the high school and middle school a sweet treat to look forward to on Fridays.  Each week, NHS students would present information on two types of cancers and preventative measures.  They would color coordinate these cancers to the cupcakes provided on Friday.  At the end of their 15 weeks of baking, Central Cambria NHS members and students were astounded to find that not only had they meet their goal of 1,000 cupcakes, but they had actually ending up baking, selling, and eating over 3,000!  Our students combined efforts brought in over $3,333 dollars for the American Cancer Society!
