❄️📚 Winter Olympics Fun in 6th Grade ELA! 🏅✏️

Ms. Buroker’s 6th grade language arts students took a short break from essay writing to review key skills, and they did it in style with a Winter Olympics theme!

Students worked their way through Winter Olympics Parts of Speech mazes, tackled Figurative Language task cards, explored text structure through a “History of Ice Skating” timeline activity, and even enjoyed some friendly competition with games of UNO.

It was the perfect mix of learning and engagement while sharpening important skills and keeping energy high during the winter months. Way to go, 6th grade! ❄️🧡🖤

Let’s hear it for our Lady Tigers on the mat! 🤼‍♀️🧡🖤

The WL-S girls competed at the OHC Championships yesterday and brought the grit! Because of numbers, several weight classes were combined to allow for more matches. With sectionals coming up Friday, we made the smart call not to wrestle up and forfeited certain matches to reduce injury risk. 💪🩹

Even with that strategy in place, our girls battled hard and brought home a 3rd place team finish! 🥉🔥

Individual Highlights:
🐯 Jenna Cline — 3-0 with THREE pins and your 100-105 OHC Champion! 🥇💥
🐯 Chloe Griffith — 2-1 with a pin 🤼‍♀️
🐯 Shelby Vincent — 1-2 with a pin 💪

So proud of the heart, toughness, and smart competition from this group!

The postseason begins THIS Friday at the Greeneview Sectionals! Let’s go, Tigers! 🧡🐾 #TigerPride

🏈🧡 Corbin Wallace Signs with Marietta College 🧡🏈

West Liberty-Salem senior Corbin Wallace has officially signed his letter of intent to continue his academic and athletic career at Marietta College, where he will play Safety for the Pioneers. Corbin celebrated his signing on February 15, surrounded by family, coaches, teammates, and friends.

Football has been part of Corbin’s life from the very beginning, and playing at the collegiate level has always been a goal he worked relentlessly to achieve. Since becoming a Tiger, he embraced the high standards in both the classroom and on the field, growing tremendously as a student-athlete.

Corbin earned First Team All-OHC honors and was named All-Southeast District Honorable Mention during his senior season, drawing interest from Division I, II, and III programs. After visiting several campuses, he found the right fit at Marietta, impressed by the coaching staff and culture of the program.

Corbin’s journey is marked by resilience, faith, and determination. We are proud of the young man he has become and excited to see what’s ahead. Rather than backing down, he recommitted himself to his goals, a mindset that helped shape both the athlete and young man he is today.

Congratulations, Corbin! Your Tiger family will be cheering you on as a Pioneer. 🐾🖤🧡

🎳🧡 A Record-Breaking Season for WL-S Boys Bowling 🧡🎳

The West Liberty-Salem Boys Bowling team saw its postseason run come to an end just short of the State Championships, finishing an impressive 11th out of 24 teams. With only the top four teams advancing, the Tigers competed hard until the very end and represented WL-S with pride.

Leading the way was Tucker Searles, who rolled a three-game series of 581, tying for 40th place out of 156 bowlers on the day.
Jerome Cordrey finished 60th,
Devon Jones tied for 63rd,
Zander Gluckle placed 78th, and
Bryant Eaton, who completed two games, finished 128th overall.

While the season may have ended just shy of Columbus, it will be remembered as one of the most successful in program history. The Tigers shattered multiple school records this year:

🔥 Bryant Eaton bowled the first perfect 300 game in school history.
🔥 Tucker Searles set a new school record for a three-game series with a 701.
🔥 The team set a school record for a match (two team games and four Baker games) with an incredible 2,887 pins.
🔥 The Tigers recorded a program-best 15 match wins this season.
🔥 They finished 7–1 in OHC play, showcasing their dominance in conference competition.

In addition, Devon Jones and Jerome Cordrey earned All-Tournament Team honors at this year’s Tiger Up Tournament.

This group not only competed at a high level, but they also raised the standard for WL-S Bowling. Their work ethic, teamwork, and drive led to a season filled with milestones and memories that will stand for years to come.

Congratulations to our Tigers on a historic season! 🐾🖤🧡

⚾🧡 Isaac Sertell Signs with MVNU 🧡⚾ Last night was a special one at West Liberty-Salem as we gathered to celebrate Isaac Sertell and his commitment to continue his academic and athletic career at Mount Vernon Nazarene University, where he will play baseball for the Cougars. Isaac signed his letter of commitment surrounded by the people who have been part of his journey, his family, Tiger coaches, travel ball coaches, teammates, and friends. The room was filled with pride, excitement, and a lot of appreciation for the work it took to reach this moment. Opportunities like this are earned. They’re built on early mornings, extra reps in the cage, long tournament weekends, weight room sessions, and the determination to keep improving. Isaac has consistently represented West Liberty-Salem with toughness, coachability, and a team-first mindset. He’s been the kind of athlete teammates respect and coaches trust. Beyond the field, Isaac has embraced the responsibility that comes with being a student-athlete, balancing academics while competing at a high level. That balance is what makes signing to play at the next level such an accomplishment. We are incredibly proud of Isaac and grateful to have been part of his story here at WL-S. Congratulations, Isaac. The Tiger community will be cheering you on every step of the way at MVNU! 🐾🖤🧡 #TigerPride

🌾 SUNRISE COOPERATIVE VISIT! 🌾

Yesterday, our West Liberty-Salem FFA members had the opportunity to visit Sunrise Cooperative and learn firsthand about the many services and career pathways the company provides to our agricultural community.

From grain operations and agronomy to energy and precision agriculture, students gained valuable insight into how Sunrise supports local farmers and businesses, and how agriculture continues to evolve with technology and innovation.

We are grateful to Sunrise Cooperative for welcoming our students and investing time into helping them explore future opportunities in the ag industry. Experiences like this connect classroom learning to real-world careers and strengthen the partnerships that make our community thrive. 🌱

🏀🧡 Team Bonding, Lady Tigers Basketball! 🧡🏀 Tonight, our West Liberty-Salem High School girls basketball team traded in orange and black for a little green and gold (or pink) as they headed to cheer on the Wright State Raiders women's basketball in their matchup against the Milwaukee Panthers women's basketball! The Raiders’ annual Pink Out game made the night even more special, an incredible atmosphere filled with energy, purpose, and community. Our girls had the opportunity to sit courtside, soaking in the pace, teamwork, and intensity of college basketball up close. Moments like these matter. 💚 Watching the game from just feet away, seeing the communication, leadership, and heart it takes to compete at the next level. It’s inspiring. But even more meaningful was the time spent together: laughing, learning, and building bonds that stretch far beyond the court. Basketball is about more than wins and losses. It’s about sisterhood, shared experiences, and creating memories that last long after the final buzzer sounds. Tonight was one of those nights. 🧡 #TigerPride
