City of Mansfield Supports MMS Duo’s Recycling Effort
Article by Natalie Alliison
Mansfield Middle School 7th grade FBLA students, Natalie Allison (Left) and Kinley Hanfelder (Right) realized there was a need for Mansfield to start recycling. They put recycling bins in each hall way of the middle school, so the students could recycle their plastics, paper, and cardboard. That’s when the girls realized there was not a place to recycle tin cans in the town.
Natalie and Kinley then wrote a letter to acting Mansfield Mayor, Mrs. Becky Walker, asking if they could get a recycling bin for tin cans. Thanks to Natalie and Kinley and the help of Mrs. Walker, there is now a place to recycle tin cans. The girls want to thank Mrs. Walker so much for her support with this project. The girls want to encourage the towns people to help on recycling too! Please start recycling and drop off your recyclable goods at the Mansfield Water Department. Thank You!

Hackett EAST Represents in Hot Springs
(Pictured Left to Right) Terrell Washington, Cass Moquett, and Liam Connally are all smiles as they pose in front of the EAST Conference enteance
The EAST Conference is the most anticipated event of the year for students enrolled in Environmental and Spatial Technology. Thousands of students, educators and guests converged on the Hot Springs Convention Center March 13-15 to celebrate success and share the projects they’ve been doing throughout the school year as part of an annual conference hosted by the EAST Initiative.
EAST Con 18 included 240 EAST schools that set up booths in the event hall to display the service learning projects they have worked on during the year. Student ambassadors from each school attended breakout sessions to get hands-on experience using advanced technology and to hear nationally acclaimed speakers who inspired them to accomplish new and challenging projects. These session provided the students with valuable information.
Hackett High School was well represented at conference by Terrell Washington, Cass Moquett and Liam Connally who made up this year’s EAST con 18 team. These young men presented projects that Hackett EAST students worked on, to a panel of judges who scored our booth based on project sophistication, professionalism and use of technology. Liam Connally competed in a contest “Office Hack”, presented by the United States Air Force National Guard, in which he was given five minutes to solve a computer problem. Liam finished 1st solving the problem in just over three minutes and was one of only two students to complete the task in the allotted time. Every year students leave conference more excited and more energized to serve their communities than when they arrived which is the EAST goal.

Alma Fills In Junior Tigers Track Schedule
Above, Mansfield’s Shawn Brown throws shot put at Alma junior high meet.
Mansfield was searching for a track meet to fill the hole in their schedule when Paris had to cancel their normal rotation in the local track circuit. Alma’s Junior Airedale Relays became the remedy the Tigers needed on March 13.
It ended up a good night for the Tiger throwers on both the men’s and women’s side. Bri Sanderson, Blake Wilkins, Zayne Dugan, Shawn Brown, Skylynn Harris, and Brooke Wright all made noise.
Sanderson lead the MJH throwers with the best measures among all Tigers. The freshman hurler sailed the 1kg discus 118’ 2” for a seventh place award among the large school competition. He also put the shot a season best 38’ 3.5” for 11th place.
“It was good to see Bri unleash,” said Mansfield track Coach John Mackey. “His position coach, Dustin Payne, has really been after those guys to produce. This sets up well for the conference.”
The Mansfield men had all three discus throwers go over 100 feet. After Sanderson’s mark, it was Dugan at 104’ and Wilkins at 102’ 6”.
Brown came through with his best toss of the season with a 34’ 6” handle of the 4kg shot put ball. Brown, just an eight grader, pushed past his freshman teammate Wilkins who landed the implement at 33’ 6”.
Seventh grader Skylynn Harris established herself as a conference contender with a 33’ 7” shot put. She had already won a seventh grade meet and now scored 5th in her first junior high event.
Fresh Brooke Wright finally found the range in the discus by tossing 78’ 4”. That was the fourth place measure among all Alma contestants. She also pushed a season best 30’ 11” in the shot put.
Harris placed in the discus ring also. She flew the implement passed the 76’ 7” mark for 6th place.
Brandon Carver doubled production in the vertical jumps by taking two 4th place awards. The first of which was a 9’ 6” pole vault. The other was a 5’ 6” high jump placement.
Sadie Roberts off the junior girl’s squad did something similar by taking 4th in the high jump at 4’ 6” and clearing 6’ 0” for 5th place in the pole vault.
The Lady Tiger’s 4x800m relay team surprised by moving into 5th place at Alma. Hope Rainwater give the team a boost when she took the lead leg around in 2 minutes and 55 seconds. Seventh grader Olivia Bouse continued momentum with a 2 minute 50 second next position.
Hope’s twin sister, Faith Rainwater, did what a twin should. She ran an identical split of 2:55 at the third spot.
McKenzie Griffin hauled home the baton giving the collective team a 11:54.83 measurement for the 5th place prize.
Another surprise came from fellow eight grader Shelby Cole. For the second consecutive week, Cole came on strong in the 300m hurdles. Her time of 56.24 was the third top score at Alma, and remains the best among Mansfield girl hurdlers.
Seventh grader Madelen Jones beat many of her older competitors to sneak in an eighth place award at the 300m barrier race. She was clocked at 59.09 in only her third career race.
Carver was a scorer on the men’s version of the 300m style hurdles. Her went 49.49 for eighth place.
Ethan Chapman was the Tiger’s top distance runner. He went 5:33 in a very competitive 1600m run for 13th place. Steven Perez was close behind at 5:54.
Brysin Cape had a good showing in the 400m dash in his first track meet. He was clocked at 1:07.42. Ryan Hayslip was back of that but finished about 12 seconds faster than his last time out with a 1:11.07.
