Logan Moseley, Striv Executive Producer

Logan is a junior at Millard West, and is his third year on staff. Over the summer, Moseley worked media for a summer baseball league, gaining valuable experience from some of the best sports journalists in the state like Jaden Taylor of Westside, Tyler Reidy and Brenden Priesman of Creighton Prep. He was apart of multiple state broadcast teams, commentating volleyball, and running tech and camera for football, basketball and Millard West’s state baseball victory. His main sport is football, but enjoys basketball, baseball, volleyball and more. His favorite teams are the Los Angeles Rams and Nebraska Cornhuskers.

A career winning percentage of .340 is never good, but when you take a previously winless team such as the University of Central Florida Knights, and even as far as claiming the National Championship in 2017, you would expect nothing but the best for the new program that he would be running. What followed suit was five straight losing seasons, and a man 15 million dollars richer. Urban Meyer (bottom left), Thomas Brown (top left) and Matt Campbell (top right) all could bring the program back to relevance, something the Nebraska native couldn’t do.

Kieren Langer heads down the hillside, coasting down and regaining his stamina. The downhills are some of the more technical parts of mountain biking, and one of his strong suits. “The main difference from the slow race to the actual race is the pedaling, you actually pedal more,” Langer said. “The downhills in the main race is where I excelled, which really shows the technical skills aspect of cycling, and mountain biking specifically.”

Setting our clocks back and forth is a completely unnecessary task. Unlike leap year, where we make up for previously lost six hours in one day, daylight savings time is a man-made problem, all from a concept by our founding fathers.

For sophomore Noah Blair, so much time and effort was put into his state run, both mentally and physically. In his Instagram bio, a simple message. #LLAS. “LLAS is for a buddy of mine who passed away this past season,” Blair said. “Him and I grew up wrestling together and competing against each other.” With the motivation to win it for his friend, Blair’s story will surely be one for people to look up to for years to come.

On Feb 13, two of the National Football League’s best battled for a chance of a lifetime, a chance to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy. The Los Angeles Rams of the National Football Conference and the Cincinnati Bengals of the American Football Conference, both the four seed in the playoffs, had unlikely paths to Sofi Stadium. Wide receiver Cooper Kupp (10) and defensive back Eli Apple (20) constantly saw themselves in this game, and Kupp’s score in the final two minutes against Apple sealed Cincinnatis fate.

This is my roster in the game. There is on the top left a 23 and a coin icon. These are “coaching credits”, the games currency and you can earn by progressing in the game or paying money. The yellow bar is your cap space. That is how much money you can spend on players, a feature separate from CCs. The bottom shows your teams overall and its morale levels, and the green bar under the players shows their health. The little icon by a player shows their awards on your team, and the background is what side of the ball they play. Blue for offense, red for defense and orange for special teams
