Varsity Girls Soccer Grab the Gold

By Anonymous
By Joy Kiehl

Varsity girls soccer won 1st place in the Spike and Strike Tournament last weekend against a mixed Varsity/JV ISKL team and Uplands.

After a long Friday at school, our varsity soccer girls team was ready to show ISKL that we could beat them. We took vans to College General at 4pm to watch part of the varsity boys soccer game and then warm-up.

Kick-off started a few minutes after 5pm. We dominated the first half by being able to string together passes and keep possession of the ball. We managed to get an early goal. Later in the first half, Lauren Worten (8) scored a goal bringing the score to 2-0 for Dalat. In the second half, we experienced more defensive pressures as ISKL started to gain more possession. We, however, were able to keep a clean sheet against ISKL.

As the sun rose over the College General field the next morning, we waited for the referees to arrive so that we could begin our game against Uplands. In the first half of the game, we dominated the play. Our first goal was scored off a corner, and the second goal was shot by Kalia Brewster (10). In the second half, we once again had more defensive pressures; but we were able to score two more goals, which were both shot by Annabelle Teoh (12), giving us a 4-0 win.

In the last game of the tournament for the girls, we played against ISKL. It was a tough game since we only had three substitutes due to injuries. The first half of the game was mainly controlled by ISKL and their athleticism and experience, which allowed them to score a goal. However, a direct kick scored by Kalia Brewster (10) put us in a tie with ISKL. In the second half of the game, a shot was taken against ISKL but was deflected by a handball, which gave us a penalty kick. Kalia Brewster (10) scored, giving us a 2-1 lead. As the final whistle blew, the soccer girls were delighted that their hard work had paid off.

Dalat varsity player Dael Kim (11) said, “I think it was cool to see the improvement we made by winning against the team (ISKL) we lost to a week ago (during the ISKL trip). We worked hard, and I think it is a great way to end off our last 11 aside game of our first season.”

DINGBAT DALAT STUDENT SPENDS PRECIOUS TIME CONJURING UP SELF-REFERENTIAL SENIOR SCRIBBLE RATHER THAN GATHERING LEGITIMATE WORK

By Anonymous
Yusoof Monawvil PENANG, MA - As the deadline drew near and the stars aligned in the night sky above the majestic waters of the Strait of Malacca, one particular Dalat student—Yusoof Monawvil (12), despite a plethora of school events to select and report on—opted instead to spend a remarkably well-wasted 24 minutes staring at a blank Google Docs page, fruitlessly drawing up and shooting down brainstormed ideas.  In a moment of sheer and undeniable epiphany, Monawvil deemed it only fitting to self-referentially satirize his own ingrained incompetence and dingbattery. Commenting on the flash of insight, Monawvil quoted himself, saying: “It all just kinda made sense. I went on DISCourse to look at the little rubric thing Ms. Grad and Mr. Hieber posted, and I checked if I was following all of the guidelines... And I technically am/was; [N]ot like there’s any specific direktive [sic] prohibiting self-quoting.”  In a turn of events, Monawvil did come to find his self-quoting en...

"Spikeball, Swimming, and Sickness: The Remnants of Senior Sneak" by Ee Rynn Ong

“Guys, I think we’re here,” said Jonathan Ooi (12) as he peeked out of the lorry to catch the first glimpse of our Senior Sneak location. This year’s Senior Sneak was held in Nomad Adventure, Gopeng, and the organizers planned many activities for the Class of 2026, ranging from traditional games like congkak and batu seremban to adrenaline-pumping ropes courses and whitewater rafting. These scheduled activities proved to be some of the best highlights of the trip, but top of that, the seniors were also given some daily free time to chat, explore, and relax. Josh Stevens (12) had come prepared for this with two spikeball nets, which immediately attracted attention from people eager to spend time in the outdoor sun. The next five days saw spikeball veterans and newcomers alike, spending their precious one and a half hours daily around the unassuming circular net, smashing the yellow ball in hopes of a victory.  Caleb Evans (12) was one of the newbies to spikeball, learning how the g...

“I Miss Her” by Nikhil Pillay

By
While most people had a fun week for mid-semester break, whether it was spent with family, or with friends on impact trips, no one had a more emotionally confusing week than Judson Kenneth Robert Nosker (12).  In the light of recent events, Judson, despite all odds, had gotten in a relationship with one of his classmates, and as the break started, he had started to spend a lot of time with her. While with her, he started to experience a new level of joy and completeness that he had never felt before. In the words of Judson Nosker, “The first half of the break was good, but the rest of it was horrible.”  The reason for such a quote and the roller coaster of emotion was because half way through the break, disaster had struck. Judson’s girlfriend had gone on a trip with her family to Thailand, leaving Judson all alone. For the rest of the week, Judson was in a state of longing for her presence.  His friends have reported numerous occasions when Judson would be sitting with t...
