After years of hard work, setbacks, and close calls, the wait to make it was over. For the first time in years, the Hoggard wrestling team earned their spot in the State Duals. Determination, discipline, effort and a lot of sweat went into the boys making it this far. As for the coaches, they had a lot of late nights getting the boys ready, taking time out of their busy schedule to teach them what they needed to know. But now it's all up to those on the mat… Going into

Though the Winter Olympics are always set in a cold February climate, our USA team was on fire! With a record-breaking 12 gold medals and 33 overall medals, Team USA beat out their competitors against all odds. The best part of it all? Each gold-winning competitor had an amazing and heart-touching story. Figure skater Alysa Liu brought home the gold for the first time since 2006, and her journey to the top is not like any other. After competing in the 2022 Beijing Olym

As of early January, over half of our NFL teams have officially been taken out of the running for the coveted Super Bowl trophy. With only 8 teams left, who will tackle the title of “Super Bowl Champs,” and who will fumble their chances in their first matchup? After the weekend of January 11th and 12th, the four divisional playoff games will start on the 17th. The four matchups consist of the Buffalo Bills vs the Denver Broncos, the Houston Texans vs the New England Patriots

Our Hoggard football team is known for its amazing, well-rounded players, but also for its wonderful coaching staff, led by Coach Underwood. This is Coach Underwood’s nineteenth year of coaching and his eleventh year as head coach. When asked about this season, he said, “This is one of the top seasons to date. This is a really fun team to coach—they enjoy playing together. We start in February, and they never get tired of it; they just have fun together. Fun is the root of su

November 20th, 2025 is a day that will forever be remembered in Hoggard history, but especially by our soccer fans. With a 2-0 win against West Forsyth, our Varsity Men’s Soccer team took the State Championship title for the first time ever. After a lengthy 4 hour drive to Greensboro, the players competed with grit and determination, ultimately earning the title of State Champions. I had the opportunity to interview with some of the members of our winning team to get their in

As football season comes to a close, we are diving straight into basketball season. Last year, the women's basketball team reached the state playoffs' final four, but eventually lost to Wakefield, playing at Wake Forest University. As the 25-26 season begins, with five wins so far, the question of another State appearance looms. I sat down with some of our Lady Vikes to talk about the upcoming season: Sophomores Airlie Altman and Lily Voth. Interview: How would you describe

With this new season of the NBA now in full swing, new contenders have risen and early favorites have fallen. With what we saw last season with the Oklahoma City Thunder being a dominant team and taking the championship in that fashion, you might expect to see a dominant squad arise. Let's take a look at three teams to watch this winter: The Champs: OKC Thunder The Thunder were one of the dominant teams last season. They ended that year with a record of 68-14, the best in th

Once the air starts to chill and the leaves start to fall, I know homecoming season is upon us! One thing I particularly love about hoco week is Hoggard’s annual powderpuff game. Recently, I got to watch this year’s competitive matchup. Not to be dramatic, but I was truly on the edge of my seat the whole time. In case you missed it, here’s a small recap of the nail-biting match. Before I get into any details, let me explain powderpuff for those who aren’t aware what the big

Every year, students and fans look forward to this game. Whether it’s football or basketball, it always brings out the biggest crowd of the season. But how much is it really a rivalry? Let’s take a look at the facts: in football, over the past three seasons (dating back to 2022), Hoggard has beaten Hanover each time, and often by large margins. This year, Hoggard shut out Hanover 34–0, yet the stands were still packed. Students from both sides of town came together to show o
