What a Season by Chris Reynolds
The AFC Lady Raiders (Ashton-Franklin Center) have just completed a remarkable basketball season. They finished the year with 27 wins and just 3 losses. Along the way in this fantastic season they accomplished many things. Among the many accomplishments were:
Jeff Jahn, Erin Sester, Jade Fair, Addison Wetzel, Jaynee Prestegaard, Madeline Pre- stagaard, Sammy Smith, Emily Shrimplin, Chris Jahn, Grace Friday, Laci Meurer, Lexi Meurer & Bryce Gittleson
• They were undefeated Conference Champions • They were ranked as high as #2 in the state • They won the Regional Championship • They won one game at the Sectional tournament
Four of these girls were selected to the All-Conference team: Emily Shrimplin, Lexi Meurer, Madeline Prestegaard, and Jaynee Prestegaard. Jaynee Prestegaard was also named to the Associated Press All-State team. Madeline Pres- tegaard scored the 1,000th point of her high school career, and she is just a high school junior! There are several Crest Foods connections on the Lady Raiders team: Grace Friday, the daughter of Craig Friday, (Warehouse Forklift A-Shift) and Jade Fair, the sister of Jessica Fair (QA Line Supervisor) were both members of the team. Grace and Jade both participated for the Lady Raiders in the 3-point shooting competition. Jade went on to compete in the 3-point shooting competition at the Sectional level. Jade missed being in the top 4 in the state by one shot! AFC Coach Chris Jahn, told his team, “Each time you took the court you did so with class, pride, and sportsman ship.” Knowing that was their philosophy, they were winners on much more than just the basketball court. Congrat- ulations to the Lady Raiders and their fans on a most memorable season. Just wait until next year! Hi everyone! As you have heard, the Crest Wellness program is underway. If you have already tested and feel you need to improve your cholesterol, glucose, or blood pressure, or if your testing is scheduled for later in the year and you would like to make some simple changes to help ensure better results, here are some changes you can make. 1. To improve total cholesterol and LDL (bad cholesterol) levels, cut back on animal product fats. This includes cutting back on red meats as well as eggs, full fat milks and cheeses, and butter. Switch to skim milk if possible. Also, cut back on processed and packaged foods that contain trans-fats and hydrogenated oils. 2. To raise HDL (good cholesterol) levels, eat more “good fats”. These are things like fish, nuts, and avacados. 3. To help with glucose and cholesterol levels, make sure you are eating whole grains instead of processed carbs. Switch to 100% whole wheat breads, whole wheat pasta and tortillas, and brown rice instead of white. Cut back on simple sugars such as pop and candy. 4. To help get better results on ALL of your tests including blood pressure, add more fruits and veggies to your diet and exercise regularly! 5. If you are already on medications for these things, make sure you are seeing your physician as scheduled and that you are taking your medications regularly as prescribed.
