Senior starters do not disappoint

By Ellie Blalock | Feb. 22, 2005, midnight | In Print »

FEB. 22, NELSON H. KOBREN MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM- It is no secret that this has been a rough season for the Blair girls basketball team. They began their first few games hopefully, yet then seemed to descend into a drought where opponents appeared unbeatable, no matter how close the Blair girls came to a win. Whether or not the drought is over is now the question, as in this game the Blazers faced a very weak Wheaton squad which put up almost no fight as the Blair girls cruised to an easy 48-19 victory.

On the third Monday of every February, Montgomery County schools and administrative offices are closed in observance of President's Day. To students, this day may only be a welcome extension to the weekend because few know the true origins of this holiday. In fact, over time, the holiday has transformed from one that commemorates the birthday of former President George Washington to one that honors all past American presidents.
