West Noble High School
A Great Place to Learn and Grow
One competition in the books!
The West Noble Lightning Brigade made a memorable showing with big improvements in its performance at the Goshen Crimson Invite over the weekend. Per assistant music director Moorea Douglas, the Brigade scored higher on Saturday in its first competition of the season than it did last year in its final showing, “Awesome growth from last year!”
For what it's worth, West Noble won Scholastic Class B at Goshen, alas the lone entrant in the category.
The Lightning Brigade will compete again Saturday at the Concord Invite, a 4 p.m. start with a head-to-head matchup against Wawasee on the line.

Take some time today to pause and remember those who lost their lives on this day 25 years ago.
Eight was enough,
Eight was the magic number Thursday evening for both the West Noble girls and boys soccer teams, as each posted 8-0 wins over Central Noble in the doubleheader showcase at the PSM Soccer Series at Ruoff Mortgage Stadium in Fort Wayne.
In the opener, Crystal Villalobos netted a hat trick and Allison Recendiz had two goals and two assists to lead the rout. Carolina Garcia, Kiara Reyes and Mia Macias all added goals in the lopsided win.
In the nightcap, the hat trick went to Emanuel Gutierrez, who opened the scoring with a goal and got the Chargers going. Leo Lopez had two goals and an assist, Cesar Munoz had two goals and Joel Moreno also found the scoring column with a goal.
The boys are back in action Saturday at East Noble while the girls will prep for the NECC tourney next week with a Thursday date at Angola.

We've got a championship announcement this evening!
In a showdown atop the NECC standings at the regular season conference cross country meet, the West Noble girls landed all five of its scorers in the top 12 to outpace Fairfield, 27-30, to claim the team title.
Layna Stoltzfus of Fairfield was the overall winner (20:01), but the Lady Chargers placed four within the top 10 and its fifth scorer at 12 to slip past the Falcons. Sara Aguilar led the champs with a fifth-place time of 20:44.
West Noble's boys were led by a third-place run from Graysen Ruch (17:28), and placed third as a team. Angola reigned as team champs, and a monster individual effort from Lakeland's Memphis Martin (16:23) helped keep the Lakers just ahead of the Chargers, 28-29, for second place in the standings.
The super dual format Wednesday evening is the regular season appetizer for the NECC Championships, set for Oct. 3 at Angola.

Hey Charger volleyball fans!
As if Fairfield coming to town wasn't enough, plan to make it to West Noble on Thursday, Sept. 24, as the volleyball team is not only taking on the rival Falcons, but hosting its annual fundraiser.
The night will be in memory of Jana Beers Miller, who lost her battle with cancer earlier this year. Miller was a West Noble graduate and member of the 1985 sectional champion volleyball team. Miller was a supporter of West Noble and the community. The team will be remembering Miller’s contributions to the community by raising funds to be donated to the Community Foundation of Noble County in her memory.
The evening fundraiser will include a silent auction, bake sale, and 50/50 raffle.
Come for the fundraiser, stay for the volleyball!

Not sure who else is approaching a milestone at this point, but we celebrated another one within the West Noble volleyball program Tuesday night.
Junior Ella Limerick has reached 1,000 assists for her career and was celebrated at home in the first set against Tippecanoe Valley, part of a 3-0 Charger win in a rematch from last year's sectionals. Less than a week ago, classmate Elyse Mead reached 1,000 kills for her career, the two certainly a big part of each other's statistical success.
Congrats Ella on your milestone achievement!

Part of the shuffle West Noble's campuses experienced to begin the school year was the Applied Skills crew at the high school moving rooms. With that, instructor Haley Duncan called upon the community to help make their new room a little brighter.
Check out the ceiling tiles that now adorn the roof in their new room! Thank you to all of the groups that created tiles, and for the ones that are still in production! The Applied Skills room looks awesome!

In recognition of 40 years of service to the West Noble School Corporation, retired educator and coach, Dale Marano, was honored at this week's WNSC School Board meeting. Marano spoke of his time at West Noble and the appreciation he has for all of the people who were part of his journey.
“We’ve been blessed all along on this journey,” began Marano. “I was blessed when (former WNHS principal) Roger (Schermerhorn) took a chance on me over 40 years ago, and I’ll never forget that. I was blessed with wonderful kids to teach throughout all those years, thousands, and too many to mention. I was blessed by (WNHS athletic director) Tom (Schermerhorn), he allowed me to coach girls basketball for 14 years.
"I guess when I sit back and reflect on everything, I have a sense of calm. I feel really, really blessed by everything, the accumulation of everything. It’s been a really wonderful journey for me, and I appreciate everyone, I appreciate the school board. It’s been a good journey for me.”
