NEWS RELEASE: ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Mooresville High School Athletic Department Edward Jones Athlete of the Week Week of August 20-25, 2012

by Veronica Smith   This year’s 2012 boys’ tennis team has been practicing diligently for the upcoming season.         “I am trying to motivate his teammates and try his best to win sectionals this year,” senior Alec Hallgarth said.    The boys all have a goal they would each like to accomplish as one and as a team.    “This season I’m excited to have a good year with friends,” freshman KC Earls said.

By: Abby Ellinghausen This year at MHS the football team is giving a whole new meaning to the phrase “play like a girl” as sophomore Ashley Kimble joins the team as a kicker. “I just wanted to try something new and see what it is like,” Kimble said.             Soccer has always been Ashley’s main sport so she thought it might be a good idea to take her kicking skills onto the football field. She is still a member of the girls’ varsity soccer team so she is very busy, but still manages to balance it all with school. “It’s really tough. I go from school to football and then straight to soccer and it’s getting even tougher,” Kimble said.             Having had a girl on one of his teams in South Carolina, head football coach Chad Dockery wasn’t hesitant on letting her join the team. “Yeah she’s a female, but she’s just as much a part of this team as anyone else,” Dockery said. He also added that there have been no problems with the boys accepting her and everyone has been

Word In The Hallways by Taylor Childs    Mr. Adam Allen's new grown-out hair has sparked some interest among the students and faculty. He revealed his not-so secret secrets to the Pulse.     “I just grew it out,” teacher Mr. Allen said, “my wife told me to.” His tricks on styling it are not out of the ordinary either.       “Sometimes I use a little product, tacky paste.” There’s also been a change in his attitude.     “I’m beaming with confidence,” he said, “just a happier person now.” His new found fame was a surprise to him.     “I didn’t know I was going to get this much attention,” Allen said. There will be no advertising for him though; unfortunately his fame is confined to the school.     “I wanted to do a commercial but I can’t, it’s real hair,” he said.

Errett Amongst the Champions by Cassidy Kelley    Dating all the way back to the ancient Greeks and the first ever Olympics, wrestling has always been a prominent sport all over the world.    In the Summer 2012 Olympic Games, Mooresville High School’s very own Mr. Zachary Errett had the honor of being an official for the wrestling portion of the games. Arriving on the same day as opening ceremonies in London, Errett had to report to his hotel where he received his instructions for being an official in the Games.    Rules are extremely different between high school, college, and professional wrestling, but the excitement and exhilaration stay the same.    “It’s the biggest sporting event in the world,” Errett said. “Being able to be a part of that experience was very rewarding.”

by Catherine Hagee and Shyla Harless   Renovations are in progress at the old KFC building on Indiana Street. Sal’s Famous Pizzeria will be taking the space. It has taken three months so far to restore and clean up the building, and there is not an official date to be open yet, but the owner hopes to be open before the end of September.    “We have been looking to open a location in Mooresville for a while now, since there is not a real Italian restaurant in Mooresville,” Owner’s son Joe Russo said.   If you are looking for an application, visit Sal’s in Plainfield at 350 E. Main Street.

      This year, the staff at Mooresville High School and Paul Hadley Middle School began a new system of re-enrollment for students starting the school year.         Students came to the school before the official start of the year, and received their IDs, schedules, and to get pictures.      “I thought the program was fun, and it was a lot like a scavenger hunt. I liked getting stamped,” junior Alivia Duerlinger said.    This new program worked out greatly for MHS.   The program gave students the opportunity to walk through their schedules before the school year started, allowing them to avoid being lost on the first day of school. This saved students the stress and embarrassment of ending up in the wrong class by mistake.
