sap drilling
The week before school was suspended at MTS, the students got to go out and do some maple syrup harvesting. Here MTS staff member Craig Corn gives some pointers about drilling trees that specialized sap-collection bags will be put on.
White Eagle
On March 12 Ho-Chunk President Marlon White Eagle stopped by College of Menominee Nation to talk to the Menominee tribal-and-county health group Kemamaceqtaq about how the Ho-Chunk executive branch is committed to an environmental legacy by reducing (and hopefully eventually eliminating) styrofoam and one time plastic use and how he hopes to get other tribes to do the same. Read more in the next print issue of "Menominee Nation News" which is scheduled to come out on March 23. Note: This was before any travel ban or similar CONVID-19-related decrees were issued and at the time of the speech neither White Eagle nor any audience members were in any past, present or future areas of Wisconsin where Coronavirus was found, so people who attended this event are NOT at any increased risk of anything; nonetheless people should continue to practice basic health hygenie and illness protocols.

Kakwitch 1,000
After several near misses, MIHS's Norman Kakwitch finally manages to make it to and past the 1,000 points mark.
free throws
Kakwitch just needs to make all three free throw to get to 1,000 points...
Foul
Kakwitch is fouled (though some Bonduel players and fans don't see it that way) in three-point territory while taking a shot, meaning he will have three shot attempts at the line.
Kakwitch delegates
Kakwitch delegates a basket to his teammate.
Free throw
In this clip you might want to note that Kakwitch is strategically positioned for a rebound in case of a miss. Bonduel also manages to hinder Kakwitch by getting past the backcourt defense.
boys basketball
Many other MIHS and Bonduel players kept getting a little more physical towards the end of the February 20 game.
Foul?
Several MIHS fans wanted a foul on this play. As this play happened right after a timeout, several Bonduel fans wanted an embellishment call. The referees decided to let the game play on.
Hustle play
Here the ball was kept in play, probably to hopefully help Kakwitch, but though that was not the result, it still resulted in an Eagle's three.
Kakwitch defense
MIHS ups its defensive game on the in-bound pass to help Frechette, and it nearly works except for ball-handling troubles.
Kakwitch distraction
Kakwitch is used as a distraction on this play; unforunately MIHS is called for traveling.
Kakwitch miss
If Kakwitch makes a three he will have 1,000...
MIHS Eagles fans
MIHS Eagle fans eagerly await for players to come back on the court with Kakwitch 3 points away from 1,000.
Kakwitch-3
Kakwitch gets down to needing 3 points to reach 1,000.
Kawitch-6
Eventually Kakwitch got to within six points of 1,000 on this play, setting up some eager anticipation in the audience.
