Students taking a stand

by Emma Mari

       This Wednesday, the 14th of March, Woburn Memorial High School, along with
countless other schools across America will be taking a stand for Congress to pass
stricter gun laws. The walkout will begin at 10AM and conclude at 10:17AM. The
reason for the date and time is that this will be the exact one month anniversary of
the tragic school shooting at Marjory StonemanDouglas High School in Parkland,
Florida. The walkout will end at 10:17AM in honor of the 17 lives which were lost in
the shooting. Though, this walkout is voluntary so any student or teacher who does not
want to participate is welcome to stay in the school and will be directed on where to go
during the walkout. Also, any student or teacher who wishes to speak during the walkout
may do so as long as they let their advisory teacher know beforehand.

       On March 24th there will be a march in Boston commencing at 12PM in the Common
and will go until 5PM. There will also be speakers at the march to inspire and show
support for stricter gun laws.

       It is not often that teenagers are allowed to voice their own opinions, so WMHS
students should take their beliefs into account and do what they think is right for
our school community, and beyond.

Game Report Somerville .vs. Woburn 2/26/18

On Tuesday, Woburn’s boys varsity basketball took part in the game of the year. A rowdy student fan section and a large crowd of Woburn supporters backed the seven players that played for Woburn during the game. This was a playoff game for Woburn but the intensity wasn’t there to start the game. Sommerville jumped out to a quick lead, taking the crowd temporarily out of the game. After the first quarter, Sommerville led 24-16 after the first quarter and opened that lead up to a 12 point deficit by halftime. Woburn looked like a team whose season was a quarter from being over when they opened up a 16 point lead in the third quarter. That was when the comeback started. The Tanners cut the lead in half and were down by 8 entering the fourth quarter. Trailing by 12 early in the fourth, Woburn gained momentum thanks to a couple of timely steals leading to easy layups for Austin and Brett Stachowski. Senior Isaiah Cashwell Doe had the ball in his hands down by 6 as the halfway point of the quarter passed. He pulled up for three to make it a three point game and on the ensuing possession stepped back for a crazy three to tie the game and send the Woburn fans into a frenzy. Senior captain Matt Juko and junior guard Ryan Ludwig came up big in the final two minutes, grabbing rebounds and nailing their foul shots. Woburn ended the game on a 20-6 run and won by a final score of 66-62. On Saturday, Woburn will take on the number one seeded Beverly at Beverly High School in the second round of the playoffs.

18 and counting- Another school shooting devastates the nation

by Sumeya Abrar

On February 14th 2018, at least 17 people passed away from the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman
Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. With over 3,000 faculty members, this was one of the largest high schools
in the nation and was chosen as the 15th most safest high school last year, but things took a drastic turn on Wednesday.
It all started a year ago when 19 years old Nikolas Cruz got expelled from the high school for disciplinary reasons
and Cruz obtained a AR-15 style semi-automatic rifle. About 6 months ago, Cruz commented on a YouTuber’s
video stating, "I'm going to be a professional school shooter.” The youtuber reached out to the FBI about the
comment and they reached back to him and conducted an in-person interview with him to interrogate him on any
information on Cruz, however he had none so they took a screenshot of the comment and then left. Six months
later, Cruz had become exactly what he had predicted on the YouTube video which led to 17 devastating deaths.
It is said that Cruz took an Uber to the high school, entered the building, and then started the shooting. An hour
later, Cruz blends in with students and exits the high school stopping by Walmart and Subway before getting
caught. Many students also described Cruz as a person who seemed lonely and weird as he always talked about
weapons and talks about wanting to be in the military. The questions that face our nation now is what can we do to
prevent this? Do we outlaw guns? Create greater security within schools? Solely in 2018, 18 school shootings have
occurred which is approximately 2 shootings per week, so something must be done. These students were just like us,
yet some of them had to take their last breath because a mentally ill mandecided to shoot others. Change must
occur for this to end, and that means talking to your government officials to see what they can do, and to make
sure they are aware. Our nation has been through so much, and we must join together to pray for those who passed
away. A vigil was held last night for the 17 people who are killed, and thousands came by. To show our respect and
condolences, The Bull’s Eye staff asks all of you to read the following names and give them a moment of silence
for their bravery and selflessness.

Jaime Guttenberg, 14, Nicholas Dworet, Martin Duque, 14, Meadow Pollack, 18, Cara Loughran, Alaina Petty, 14,
Joaquin Oliver, 17, Luke Hoyer, 15, Alyssa Alhadeff, 15, Gina Montalto, 14, Carmen Schentrup, Peter Wang, 15,

Game Report: Varsity Boys Basketball Reading vs Woburn 2/9/18

On Friday, Woburn High held their annual senior night for all of the seniors playing their last home game at the school. Seniors Austin Stachowski, Brett Stachowski, Blake McDonald, Matt Juko, Isaiah Cashwell-Doe, Amari Lolai, and Nick Metrano put on the jersey for the last time in a regular season home game. The ceremony to honor the seniors took place before the game against the rival Reading Rockets. Woburn was wide awake early, as they jumped out to a very quick 12-0 lead in a game where a blowout looked inevitable. The Rockets scored thirteen in the first though, making the game close again. By halftime, junior Ryan Ludwig had taken over dropping 12 points on the Reading defense and leading the Tanners to an 8 point halftime lead at 34-26. Woburn sustained the lead through the third quarter and although Reading continued to get close, Woburn never let them get dangerously close. By the fourth quarter the game was no longer in doubt and Woburn held on to beat Reading 62-51. Every senior got a chance to play in their last home game. Ludwig led the Woburn scorers with 21 points followed by Brett Stachowski (17) and Matt Juko (13). The Tanners close out the regular season with two road games before the playoffs.

Keep It on the Court - Game Report: Varsity Girls Basketball Woburn vs. Reading February 9, 2018

Woburn beat Reading 53-41 in a hard fought battle on Friday night. After three highly
contested quarters, the Tanners avoided the upset and advanced to 13-1 on the year.
Once again, Woburn showed their ability to win close games and play strong defense
when needed. In the fourth quarter, with the game on the line, Woburn broke the game
open. After the win, Boston Herald now has them ranked at number three in the state.
Hopefully, the Tanners can keep up the good work and maintain their high position
until the playoffs in just a few weeks. There is no doubt that they should be a favorite
to win it all.

However, the biggest story from Friday was not the excellent play of the Woburn
Tanners. Following the game, at 6:28 P.M., the Woburn Girls Twitter account posted
the following: “Woburn spoils Reading’s senior night with a 53-41 Win. After 3 close
quarters Woburn pulls away late in the 4th. Record now 13-1. Donahue 19, Rufo 12
and Pacheco 11 lead the way.” Understandably, the Woburn faithful was ecstatic over
the win. But the Reading account fired back with, “So proud of our girls tonight,
especially our seniors - never felt like our effort or our night was “spoiled” - just need to
keep working harder. These are great kids and great seniors.  So proud to be a Reading
Rocket!”

What we have here is a clear example of a sore loser. Reading was incapable of
taking the loss and decided to change the subject. All Woburn was trying to do was give the
unfortunate fans who could not attend the game a brief look into the excitement that is
Woburn Girls Varsity Basketball. Very well done, if I do say so myself. But then,
Reading comes out of nowhere and acts like Woburn meant anything by using the
word “spoiled”. Maybe you should focus on the other words in the tweet like
“Woburn”, “win”, and “Woburn pulls away”. Don’t hate us ‘cause you ain’t us. Try
winning and then you can attempt to reply. Right now, no one is proud to be a Reading
Rocket.

Woburn plays Lexington on Tuesday. Maybe this time we can avoid the
Twitter drama.

Game Report: Boys Varsity Basketball Arlington vs Woburn 2/6/18

Coming off a tough week for the team, the Tanners looked to rebound against arguably the best team in the league, Arlington. Hosting the game gave Woburn a possible advantage as the Woburn fans showed up to support their team. Arlington started the game on a quick 8-0 run causing the Tanners to use an early timeout. Battling back like always though, the boys were able to take the lead in the first half. Down a few points in the third quarter, senior Isaiah Cashwell-Doe hit a few tough threes which accounted for most of his scoring for the night. Unfortunately for Woburn, Arlington began to pull away during the fourth quarter. Going on another quick run and effectively making free throws, Arlington stretched the lead to 10+ points. Despite the efforts of the offense to get back into the game, the Tanners ended up falling by a final score of 60-49. Cashwell-Doe led the team in scoring with 13 and Austin Stachowski put up 11 off the bench. Next up for the Tanners is senior night on Friday in what will be a huge game for the team.

Game Report: Girls Varsity Basketball Woburn vs. Wakefield 1/26/18

Woburn (8-1) and Wakefield (12-0) faced off on a crazy Friday night here at the high school. With six seconds left, the game was tied and the game was on the line. In a game between two top teams in the state, the last few moments could determine a lot later in the season.

Throughout the entire game, the two teams battled neck and neck. At points, it seemed like Woburn
was ready to make a run. Then, Wakefield would surge and it seemed they would be the ones to come
out on top. There were many ties and lead changes, especially down the stretch. The intensity could
be felt in the stands as much as on the court. Eventually, one great team would have to beat the other.
But whoever lost would definitely being going home a lot more sad then when they arrived. There
were no moral victories at stake.

In the end, Woburn’s stout defense and offensive persistence paid off. Marina Rufo’s shot with six
seconds left gave the Tanners a two-point lead and a steal as time expired clinched the win. Unlike
in the NBA, the Warriors were going home empty-handed.

Senior Kelsey Qualey finished with 19 points and Ashlyn Pacheco had 15 in Woburn’s 9th win of
the season. With just one loss, the Tanners are poised for yet another deep postseason run. Don’t
be afraid to show up to the games and support another great Woburn Girls Basketball Team!

Game Report: Boys Varsity Basketball Woburn vs Watertown 2/2/18

Coming off a tough 61-57 loss to Belmont on Thursday, the Tanners were looking to bounce back against Watertown, but unfortunately that was not the case as Woburn was no match for Watertown as they got blown out 85-57. Ryan Ludwig had a stellar 20 point game, which unfortunately did not seem to matter as Watertown’s offense and defense were way too much for Woburn to handle. The lockdown defense of Watertown caused Woburn to turn the ball over a lot which resulted in easy fast break offense for Watertown. If the boys want to get to the Garden they are going to have to tighten up on the turnovers and get rid of this losing streak as soon as possible. Their next game is on Tuesday, February 6th and will be there biggest game of the season thus far. It is do or die from now until the end of the season if they want to play at the Garden.

Game Report: Woburn Varsity Boys Basketball January 23, 2018 Woburn vs. Stoneham

After a 4 game winning streak was snapped Sunday against Arlington, Woburn (9-3) looked to bounce back against Stoneham (3-8). From the start, it didn’t look very promising. Woburn was not boxing out and gave up too many easy second chance points. Add in some sloppy turnovers and the Spartans took a 16-11 lead heading into the second quarter.

In the second quarter, Stoneham continued to out rebound the Tanners and Woburn’s defense
got worse. They were gambling too much on the perimeter and their only hope of getting the
ball back was a turnover or a missed shot. Luckily, they were able to force a few turnovers
and get some easy putbacks on the offensive end. After one of those rebounds, Matt Juko
gave Woburn their first lead at 27-26 and the game was tied at 29 at halftime.

To start the second half, Woburn and Stoneham decided it was time to put some points on
the board. The Tanners started by hitting three straight threes by Blake McDonald, Matt
Juko, and Ryan Ludwig. Just like that, Woburn had a nine point lead and seemed to be
running away with the game. But to close out the quarter, Stoneham made a few threes
of their own. When the dust cleared, Woburn led 51-47. Both teams were moving the ball
well and it seemed like we would have a game that came down to the wire.

That feeling would last for about two minutes. Woburn started to run away, hitting shot after
shot and getting stop after stop. They went on a quick 10-2 run to start the quarter headlined
by a nice block by Matt Juko that sent the crowd into hysterics. Halfway through the quarter,
Woburn had already outscored Stoneham 26-7 and it was clear Woburn would go home with
a win. The starters got some rest and Woburn would go on to win 84-58.

Even though Woburn has to be happy with a 26-point win, you have to wonder: why can’t
they play like this the whole game? The Tanners have now played a few of these games
against lower opponents where they don’t get going until late. Hopefully, in their next game
against Wakefield, we will see a strong, wire-to-wire performance.

Winchester vs Woburn

1/20/18

played to perfection by the team that hosted. The Sachem’s traveled over town lines and into
enemy territory into the Woburn High Gym this past Friday night and walked out with a loss.
Woburn took the lead early and never looked back in a game mostly dominated by the starters.

Senior captain Matt Juko putt up 16 points each while Senior guard Isaiah Cashwell-Doe and
Senior captain Blake McDonald added 12 and 10 points respectively. Off the bench, Austin
Stachowski provided a jolt of scoring hitting multiple three pointers and adding fourteen points
to the Tanner lead. The game was close after the first quarter, where Ludwig put up 7 of his
16 points on route to a 17-13 lead. Defense led the way in the second and the Tanner offense
stayed consistent enough to take a 39-26 lead into halftime. The second half wasn’t close as
Woburn stretched the lead out to 24 points. Woburn ended the game winning by a score of
78-55 improving to 9-2 on the season, a massive improvement over last year. Woburn travels
to Arlington on Sunday for a tough matchup over town lines.

Danvers vs. Woburn

Game Report

Sunday’s boys varsity basketball game between Woburn and Danvers wasn’t much of a game at all.
The starters led the way during the first half of the game as Woburn coasted to an early first quarter
lead. Junior guard Ryan Ludwig set the tone for the Tanners as he led the way with fourteen points
mostly all of them coming in the first half of the game. Senior’s Isaiah Cashwell-Doe and Matt Juko
each pitched in as well as Cashwell-Doe had eleven points and Juko added a few key rebounds
and blocks. The Danvers team looked lost on the court with Juko controlling the paint on defense
and a quick Tanners offense that couldn’t miss from the three point line. Woburn had a 39-19
lead going into the third quarter which only widened thanks to the spectacular bench play.
Junior guard Kyle Bennett and freshman guard Dylan McLaughlin led the team off the bench.
Dylan rounded out the top three in scoring with ten points all coming in the second half of the
game. Woburn as a team ended the third quarter with thirty points to their name and a 69-35 lead
over a hopeless Danvers team. The final score ended in a 89-51 blowout. The 44 point win was by
far the largest margin of victory even for a successful Tanners team. On Friday, the Tanners host
the Winchester Sachems in a rivalry game at 7:00. Large crowds of anticipation are expected as
the game looks to be much closer than the one against Danvers.

H&M promotes themselves with potential racism, celebrities respond

Clothing retailer H&M is facing extreme backlash ever since they uploaded a new item to their website-
a sweatshirt that read “Coolest monkey in the jungle” modeled by a black child. There are always two
sides to every story, but in this situation, there is more of one opinion than the other.

There is a deep and dark history behind the word monkey, and we aren’t talking 100% about the animal. Monkey is used
as a racial slur. The slur “monkey” is derived from the slur “porch-monkey,” which according to Urban Dictionary, is a
“slang [word] originally held to highlight the segregation-induced laziness of negroes in pre-civil rights era America.”

The fact that a black child was pictured modeling the sweatshirt on H&M’s US and UK websites is what brought
up all of the backlash. This image passed by many editors, writers, and other workers of H&M and nobody
seemed to realize the “mistake.” The image, pictured below in a screenshot from singer The Weeknd’s Twitter
account, passed by numerous people and was published, while no one realized the issue at hand with the image
and sweatshirt.

After the image surfaced, celebrities such a G-Eazy and The Weeknd were sure to use their high social platforms
to spread awareness of the situation. On instagram, G-Eazy (@g_eazy) posted a mock picture of the original
image posted with this caption:

Over the past months I was genuinely excited about launching my upcoming line and collaboration with
@HM… Unfortunately, after seeing the disturbing image yesterday, my excitement over our global campaign
quickly evaporated, and I’ve decided at this time our partnership needs to end. Whether an oblivious oversight
or not, it’s truly sad and disturbing that in 2018, something so racially and culturally insensitive could pass by
the eyes of so many (stylist, photographer, creative and marketing teams) and be deemed acceptable.

I can’t allow for my name and brand to be associated with a company that could let this happen.

I hope that this situation will serve as the wake up call that H&M and other companies need to get on track and
become racially and culturally aware, as well as more diverse at every level.

Also commenting on the situation is singer/songwriter Abel Tesfaye, also known as The Weeknd. On his twitter
(@theweeknd) Tesfaye posted a reaction tweet to the H&M scandal.

(Source: @theweeknd on Twiter)

H&M issued an apology through their email and on their website. Sadly, the “sincere” apology has been taken down from
the group’s website since. Part of the apology issued,  “To all customers, staff, media, stakeholders, partners, suppliers,
friends and critics. We would like to put on record our position in relation to the image and promotion of a children’s
sweater, and the ensuing response and criticism. Our position is simple and unequivocal – we have got this wrong and
we are deeply sorry.”

Overall, the issue presented by H&M is a huge eye opener for the whole nation. Through this possible mistake,
people across the country and the world have been exposed to the possible racism within the post and have
equally expressed their deep opinions.

Boys Varsity Basketball Game Report 1/9

The Woburn Varsity Basketball team rolled into Reading coming off a tough loss 69-67 against
Belmont a week ago. Still, at 5-2, the Tanners had the record advantage against Reading.

In the first few minutes, it looked like the Tanners were going to drop their second game in a
row. Woburn came out sluggish on defense; Reading was moving the ball at will and hit their
first three threes to start the game to open a 11-2 lead. But for the remainder of the quarter,
Woburn managed to find some points and went into the second quarter down 16-10.

The second quarter was all Woburn’s. After a week off, they started to get back any momentum
or energy lost. Off the bench, it was Matt Walusimbi drawing a charge on defense and making
a three on offense to spark a run. Then, starters Isaiah Cashwell-Doe and Ryan Ludwig made
excellent plays in transition after numerous steals by the entire defense.  Reading could not
move the ball nevermind score. Woburn took a 32-22 lead going into halftime after outscoring
the Rockets 22-6 in the second period.

In the third quarter, the Tanners came out a little sluggish again. They allowed Reading back
into the game with sloppy turnovers and missed layups late in the shot clock. Thankfully, the
Rockets were not able to take advantage and still trailed 43-38 at the end of the third quarter.
If Woburn was playing a better opponent, they probably would have given up a big run.

If a stretch could define this entire game, it was the start of the fourth quarter. No one scored
until halfway through and the teams combined for what seemed like twenty turnovers. The
scoreboard operator must have fallen asleep and lead stayed around five for the entire quarter.
Down the stretch, it was senior Matt Juko who made sure Woburn would keep their lead. He
had two blocks and five points in a two minute stretch late in the fourth. While keeping four
points away from Reading and adding five to Woburn, the Tanners were able to come away
with the win 52-46. Ryan Ludwig led the team in points with 15 and Woburn improved to 6-2
on the season. Their next game is against Danvers on Sunday at 12:00.

Girls Basketball January 9th Woburn vs Reading

Coming off a game that got snowed out against Arlington, the Tanners looked past that and played an important conference game last night against the 3-3 Reading Rockets which was a solid game for both teams that saw the Tanners pull away with the win (61-54). The Tanners came into the game with a lot of defense that caused the Rockets score 54 points. The youth of the Rockets seemed to be their downfall as the team consists of six sophomores and three freshman I’m sure Reading will be able to improve in that area as the season goes on as the more they play the more experience they will get. This is also obviously a good thing for the further though as they will look to be threats to the Tanners in the upcoming years. The Tanners will look at keep up their dominance as they head into Winchester on the 19th for their next game. The captains will need to rally the team together and not get down if things begin to slip up in order to win the game in Winchester.

Star Wars Episode VIIII : The Last Jedi A review and a comment regarding dashed expectations

Star Wars Episode VIIII : The Last Jedi

A review and a comment regarding dashed expectations

At 2 hours and 35 minutes, the latest addition to the Star Wars saga, The Last Jedi is the longest movie in the franchise to date, and many claim that it may be the funniest. With a budget of 200 million USD, director Rian Johnson had room to play with his comedic scripts and gain access to some of the best visual effects artists and gadgets in the world.

This new film follows Rey, played by Daisy Ridley along with Luke Skywalker, played by the infamous Mark Hamill on their journey to save the Rebellion from the First Order. As Rey attempts to gain Luke’s trust, and essentially become his apprentice or Padawan and learn the ways of the Force as a Jedi in order to learn more about her powers and about herself as well as get him to join her in the Rebel Alliance.

Dialogue between Ben Solo, better known as Kylo Ren, played by Adam Driver and Ridley’s character grows and fans get a new look into the internal conflict between Kylo’s light and dark side. Fans also get a look into why Kylo turned to the dark side and how Luke had a hand in it.

Viewers see Kylo fight for power with General Hux of the First Order, played by Domhnall Gleeson. The two bicker with one another like children giving the duo a sibling like relationship and this really shows as they strive to gain affection and acceptance from Supreme Leader Snoke, played by actor Andy Serkis.

The First Order goes head to head with the Rebel Alliances dwindling forces lead by Princess Leia Organa played by Carrie Fisher and Poe Dameron, the witty Rebel pilot played by Oscar Isaac. In this film many were pleased to see a new side of Princess Leia that had never before been shown to the audience.

While Leia and Poe are on the run from the First Order, Finn the defective Stormtrooper turned Rebel hero, played by John Boyega, is on a mission to get inside of the main ship of the First Order and sabotage their mission from the inside out with his new accomplice Rose Tico a mechanic on one of the Rebel’s ships played by Kelly Marie Trans.

WARNING! SPOILERS FOLLOW!

  

Star Wars The Last Jedi leaves quite a few questions unanswered and ruins many fan’s conspiracies revolving around Rey and her backstory and lineage. Many superfans have made comments that go something like, “Our own ideas were more interesting than what they came up with”.

Some fans had ideas that maybe she was a descendant of Qui Gon considering that he was one of the few Jedi who broke the rule of staying single forever. Other fans thought of Rey as a “chosen one” of sorts, as Anakin Skywalker was, and was immaculately conceived to bring balance to the force.

These fan theories were crushed when the Last Jedi reveals that Rey’s parents were addicts and merchants and sold her off to benefit themselves, leaving her to be a slave in Jakku to Unkar Plutt as a young child.

The new installment of Star Wars leaves the identity of Supreme Leader of the First Order, Snoke, open for interpretation. Some conspiracy theorists believed that Snoke was actually Mace Windu the Jedi with the only shown purple lightsaber in the movies to date, whose arm was cut off by Anakin Skywalker as he turned to the Dark Side.

But Windu, played by Samuel L Jackson in the second trilogy was killed by Palpatine, better known as Darth Sidious, in Episode III Revenge of the Sith, or is presumed dead after being struck with Palpatine’s force lightning and thrown off of one of the top floors of a skyscraper in Coruscant.

Others believe that Supreme Leader Snoke is an entirely new character to this story and that his backstory is going to unravel a whole new side of the Unknown Universe in the Galaxy. Snoke was not affiliated with the Sith Lords as far as anyone was aware but he was definitely strong with the Dark Side.

Though Disney killed off Snoke’s character in Episode VIII, a large quantity of fans were unhappy to cut his story so short or in half… As Kylo Ren used his power with the force to cut Snoke in half with a lightsaber.

One of the most controversial topics revolving around this new film is the attitude and demeanor of Luke Skywalker. Hamill’s performance in the Last Jedi is said to be one of his best yet, but would the Luke Skywalker fans love, act in such a way as he did in episode VIII? Would he act so childish around Rey and even Master Yoda?

After so many years basically alone on an island in the middle of nowhere it may be possible that Luke’s personality would have drastically changed in the way that it did but many fans expected more out of their Jedi Knight.

Fans all over the world were rocked to watch as Luke deceived Kylo with his force projection and died from being so exhausted. Many beg the question “Why did he have to die?”, and “What does this mean for the future of the Jedi race?”.

This film also leaves open the end of Princess Leia, as Carrie Fisher died after filming for the Last Jedi was over of a heart attack. In the movie, she is blown out into space after her ship was attacked by the First Order and she is floating amongst the stars and many thought that this would have been the end for Leia but they were wong.

Many die hard fans have always wanted to see Leia use the force as she is sister to Luke Skywalker and daughter of Anakin Skywalker AKA Darth Vader but finally, in the Last Jedi, they go to see it happen. Audiences watched as Leia soared through space using the force to bring herself back onto her ship and get herself to safety and felt empowered seeing General Organa finally use the force.

It is uncertain what the writers and producers will do with Fisher’s character but she will definitely live on throughout history and continue to inspire other women to be as strong as her.
