2 Life Every decision high school student has repercussions. These decisions will affect everything from our immediate future to retirement plans. These decisions also create a persona that we will live with for the rest of our lives. So how do you make these important decisions? The ability to use the institution of school in order to create individuality is a stunning development that helps each student paint an intricate picture that will help us leave a mark on the world . Every extra effort to get that A. every hour spent working out coming to fruition on the football field. every minute spent rehearsing lines for the play, and every second of day-to-day life affects perceptions.

David Grider and Darian Welch, among others. prepare for the world of City Lights. Prom is the final dance for the high school seniors as graduation approaches and college awaits.

7 Prom Being an upperclassman has many distinct advantages: having a driver's license. playing varsity sports. and being mentors to the younger classes. However. any upperclassman will tell you that Prom is perhaps the main reason that being an upperclassman is advatageous. The oppurtunity to get dressed up with friends is appealing to all of the young adults. The theme of Prom was City Lights. This seemed to bring out the best in students. as they came dressed to impress. Prom is the most formal dance at Centennial. with the males wearing primarily tuxedoes and the females wearing mainly full-length formal dresses. Prom can be anything from an incredible night with your closest friends to a romantic time with one's boyfriend or girlfriend. The announcement of king and queen came midway through the gala as Mor Caspi and Omar AI-Char. pictured left. were crowned. As the last big event before graduation. the seniors enjoyed their time together and danced under the City Lights until the music ended. Words Jacob Cocagne Photography Primelight Studios

6) Arm in arm wth their fellow members of the Prom Court. the nominees prepare themselves for the announcement of King and Queen .

8 Post Prom After the 2007 Prom, the PTSA hosted Post Prom, held at the Champaign Recreation Center East (CERC). ~..,,.,...,..-.,""'" There were muliple actiVIties offered, including ~H':f··t··+·'•' races on blow-up courses, . . . . . . an open swimming pool. a mock boxing ring, a jousting pit and a television set up with the popular game Guitar Hero playing. Austin lewis and Miranda Leake, pictured right were among many to test their guitar skills. The assortment of activities as well as the sense of companionship between students and their peers made Post Prom 2007 an event to remember. Post Prom is traditionally held after the Prom has ended and lasts into the early morning. In 2007, the activities began at midnight and lasted until 4:00 A .M. The event is designed to give students an oppurtunity to have fun with their peers in a large group while still in a safe environment. Words Jacob Cocagne Photography Primelight Studios

1) Centennial students play volleyball in the pool offered at CERC. The students truly enjoyed the chance to cool down in the pool after the warmth of the formal clothing worn to the dance. The many activities drew a large crowd to the Post Prom festivities . 2) Out of breath, Kenneth Kranz attempts to recover after defeating Benjamen Rear during a devestating run on the blowup obstacle course .

Many of the events. like the ring , allowed light-hearted competition s and helped the students to interact.

9 Graduation High school students spend the majority of their time in school preparing for departure. Whether their path leads them to college or straight into the working world, graduation marks the transition point from high school into the next phase of the students' lives. Graduation 2007 was held at the Assembly Hall, with each student's name and future plans projected onto a screen. Rousing speeches from Superintendant Arthur Culver and Principal Judy Wiegand helped the graduating class understand the magnitude of their accomplishment and congratulate them on their achievements. A dialogue between students Steven Joebgen and Gregory Schweizer, pictured left entertainingly encompassed the four years of high school well for most of the class of 2007 . With graduation past the students prepared to take the next step in their lives, wherever it may lead them .

4) Singing the Vitamin C hit song "Graduation (Friends Forever), the Expressions chorus sends a goodbye to the senior class of 2007 . The song allowed the seniors to reminisce about the good times. 5) Preparing to accept their high school diplomas, William Buscombe and Nicole Butler take their last walk as students of Centennial High School.

The initial, and obvious change was a "Red Carpet" welcome . The Centennial drum line stood at attention and performed a welcoming drum cadence for all the faculty and students as they entered the portals to Centennial. Ron Bode also introduced a new philosophy to the Chargers: the "Centennial WayÂˇ has four basic principles for the students to follow. Teachers wore matching shirts which supported th1s new attitude. 6 ) After retrieving their schedules from the counselors, Du st in Hill, Joshua Jones, Doug Lindsay, and Jorge Dorado check to see 1f they have any classes together for the first semester.

13 Spirit Week School started on August 24; five school days later the Centennial student body was participating in the most socially involved week of the year: Homecoming! Much of the preparation for this year's very early Spirit Week required student leaders to meet and work over the summer. Each year the Student Council proposes different ideas for the individual days of the week, then the members of Student Council vote on the days, to determine which will be a part of the most hectic week of the year. There was no school on Monday since it was Labor Day, so there were only three days to work with; Friday is always Blue and White Day, The chosen Spirit Week days this year were Twin Day, Class Color Day, and Retro Day. Many students participated in Twin Day by having a group of people wear matching shirts while others dressed in identical outfits. The day that has the most student participation is Class Color Day. The class officers design a T-shirt which carries the class's color (green for freshmen, yellow for sophomores, red for juniors, and blue for seniors) as well as the theme for the class's hall decorations. The shirts are available for all members of the grade to purchase and over half of the students in a grade usually do. As a result of this, the halls are filled with groups of green, yellow, red, and blue. Thursday of Spirit Week is Retro Day. The people who dress up for Retro Day generally try to represent a certain time period, the late sixties and early seventies begin among the most popular. M any people such as Kaleb Wachala, pictured left, also try to represent certain historical figures like Danny Zuko (John Travolta)from Grease. A lthough the week is full of hard work and planning, students claim it is one of the most memorable weeks of their high school careers. Words Kristin Roberts Photography Centurian Staff

Friday is a day of honored traditions at the end of each Spirit Week. These customs begin with a Blue and White themed day with each student showing their school spirit through clothing, face paint. and accessones.

Run this year by Student Council president Joshua Kalipeni and Student Council Event Coordinator Raven Hargest. it is an annual event which is full of performances by the Varsity cheerleaders. Junior Varsity cheerleaders, Dance Team, and the members of Interact. As they have for many years. the Interact participants cross-dressing as members of the opposite sex, with the males in cheerleading skirts performing a dance and the females having a mock football game. The skits are designed to be comical and to make the assembly fun. After the skits are over, the football team takes

the senior captains along with Coach Mike McDonnell, talk to the students. These inspirational speeches then give way to the displays of the annual Homecoming parade. Headed by the marching band, all of the Homecoming court and the class floats take a parade around the Centennial area. The Homecoming court is displayed in couples on individual cars while other students ride their class floats. Students are proud excited to be representing Centennial, displayed by the seniors riding on the senior class' float. pictured right. When the parade ends, it becomes time for everyone to go home and prepare for the Homecoming game.

44 Seniors 1) Joshua Cocagne, Elizabeth Zunich, Elizabeth Dombroski, John Anderson, and Alexandra Tanton dance the n1ght away at the annual Interact sponsored Freshman Dance. The Interact members host this dance to welcome the incoming freshmen to Centenn1al. 2) Shufflmg through h1s 1-pod, Daniel Kuglich DJ's the freshman dance. He was accompanied p1ckmg the jams by h1s fnend and co-worker, Charlie Weinberg. 3) Michael Warren, Eric Hirschi, Juan Umana, and Eeshan Ahuja 1m1tate the cheerleaders dunng the Pep assembly. 4) Sue Aldridge, the interact sponsor, is no match for Daniel Walls in a danceoffduringthefreshmandance. 5) Kristin Roberts, Eeshan Ahuja, and Jordan Branham are the Secretary, Treasurer and V1ce President of Interact. Interact is a very demanding, busy club to be involved with and these officers do a fantastic job of keeping the club in order. One of the1r key JObs is to help run the meetings. Roberts and Ahuja take attendance while Branham and Walls start the meeting . The interact meeting IS no simple task because the club is so large. They have to handle over sixty seniors and make sure that every event they coordinate happens without a hitch . These officers embody all of the elements to make a great leader. They meet every Thursday morning at 7:30 to discuss upcoming events m the school as well as in the community. 6) Continuing the tradition. the Interact girls dress up and mimic the players of the friday night Homecoming game as they run through a tunnel made up of the Interact boys imitating the cheerleaders. 7) Dylan Jarling pulls Todd Salen, the Rotary representative, as1de to discuss upcoming events to prepare for. The Interact club is busythroughout the year domg several serv1ce projects to help the community. 8) During the homecommg Interact sk1t, Brian Hertzog shows some personality while strutting his stuff during the routine. This performance is often the highlight of many of the members of Interact. as they are able to show individuality.

45 Interact When students are asked what exactly interact does. many have no idea how to respond . However. many members of the club will describe Interact as a service organization specifically designed for seniors. that is sponsored by the Rotary Club. Seniors who qualify for a spot in this club will go through an interviewing process to ensure they are worthy of the honor of being a part of the club. Homecoming is one of the busiest times of year for Interact. Before the Homecoming football game, the Interact club has a chili supper. one of the biggest fund-raisers of the year. Interact also does the homecoming skit during the pep rally, Pennies for Polio. recycling and an Aids fund-raiser to raise money to build orphanages in Malawi . One of the ways students show their commitment to the club is by contributing to the community, Interact is planning a day of service in honor of Aus-

tin Cloyd, a former interact member. who was killed in the Virginia Tech shooting . At Christmas. Interact did Adopt-a family, in which the members of Interact buy presents for underprivileged families for Christmas. The club has to have a strong leader in order to keep everything in order. This year Daniel Walls. pictured left. took over the honor and responsibility. "This year has definitely been a busy one. having homecoming so early. We had to come back to school and get on things right away. I have enjoyed being president this year. It has taught me how to be a better leader. and how to have fun while doing it!" Though each participant of the club was busy, the membership allowed them an opportunity to give back to the community. Each individual took the opportunity to contribute and made the most of it. making Interact 2007-2008 memorable. Words Patnc1a Ronk Photography Centurian Staff and Krist1e Cozad

c 1 o 1 liege A style profile of prospective college student Brittany Peacock:

--------1

Sweatshirt It's always good to have a sweatshirt. or some type of clothing representing your school. They're everywhere ... and cheap! They are a great way to show school spirit and are always good on those "I have nothing to wear days!"

Glasses I actually do wear prescription glasses, but I know a lot of people who just wear fahionable glasses to get that Msmartff look! They are also cheap at stores such as Claires.

1-------~..

...-------1

The Boots I wear my boots in the winter because they are easy to find, easy to slip on. and warm. If you can't afford the "real uggs" you can find nice boots almost anywhere, which will be very importat because you will really have to budget your money while in college.

1---------

T he Bag Instead of wearing the same old traditional backpack, I like to wear a stylish and fashionable handbag that is big enough to carry my books and notebooks. These bags are easy to find at almost any store and give so much more flair than a backpack!

A style profile of Junior Lauren Benton.

I wear what I want and I love it.

Black Blouse Lauren says of her wardrobe, "I almost always have on at least one black article of clothing." Dark colors give Lauren the edgy style that she's known for.

Funky Accessories "I love accessories. They are fun, and they are my little bursts of color," says Lauren of her collection of colorful, beaded bracelets.

Skinny Jeans "The skinny jean has probably been the most popular fad of the year," says Lauren about her jeans. To add her own special touch, Lauren wears red jeans to really add to her style.

Studded Belt A funky belt can add pizazz to any outfit. "I wear it every single day; it is the most prominent article that I wear," Lauren says about her favorite belt.

Patterned Shoes Tm a huge fan of patterns," says Lauren of her shoes. She usually wears more than one pattern, which helps contrast with the black and also provides a cool, eclectic look.

These two have the most control over the content of the book. 4) With a passion for action, the sports section captures the best of each individual sporting season . The pictures and words mvoke memories for every player. 5) Producing interesting polls and pages for freshmen. sophomores.

99 Yearbook "Will someone get me a Twix?" "Does someone have page 128-129 open?" "Who used my picture?!" "Searbs. I need you!" These are just a few popular phrases that are heard daily during Yearbook class. Although those not in the class perceive it as an easy course, anyone actually working on the production staff will tell you it is a demanding and time consuming commitment. As the only permanent record of the school year, staff members must accurately report statistics, name students in pictures, and write interesting copy and captions. The class really isn 't about the immense amount of candy consumed, but the family like bond that develops among the "yearbookers". Centennial's staff is so dedicated they voluntarily attend, and pay for, a three day camp in the summer where decisions about theme, layouts, and cover design are made. Yearbook is only a first semester course which makes it crucial that deadlines are met. Most of the members find that in order to finish their pages, they have to come in on their own time including Thanksgiving and Winter Break. Brenda Searby (pictured left), after approving a page produced by Robb Cozad, discusses her pleasure over the page's quality. Every page that goes into the yearbook goes through at least four people to ensure accuracy. The sense of pride and accomplishment is evident when the books are distributed in May.

105 Crazy Tales Every fall . Centennial High School puts on a short play to entertain audiences of various ages. This year. Centennial Playmakers produced the humorous and unforgettable Crazy Tales . Thirty-five Centennial students were involved in the fall play's production . Each cast member put in numerous hours of memorizing. practicing, and dedicating themselves. In addition to having the shows on two different nights. the cast of Crazy Tales performed for local elementary schools such as Carey Busy. Barkstall. and Robeson . Crazy Tales. a series of eight short skits: "Anansi Finds a Fool ", "Elves and the Shoemaker". "Fox and the Grapes", "I Am a Fine Musician". "Bremman Town Musicians", "Henny Penny", "Two Crows ". and "The Golden Goose, " is a morality play set in a fantasy land. The passion of the students made the performance more realistic. shown when Franchesca Johnson and Andrew

Miller. pictured left share a steamy on-stage kiss on the ir honeymoon at the end of "The Golden Goose ". In between some of the skits. there were dance numbers such as Magic To Do. Earth Move. Chicken Dance. and The YMCA. During the songs. members of the audience were allowed to participate along with the cast on stage. Chloe Machula explained her overall experience in a few words: "The play was lots of fun . I loved that all the kids got into it. Also. it was a play that ages from old to young enjoyed and found amusing. I think teenagers really liked seeing their friends act insane and wacky on stage. It was amazing that all the little kids from the audience jumped up on stage to dance during the YMCA and The Chicken Dance. They were all really cute and we really appreciated the enthusiasm ."

107 Service Clubs

The student government at Centennial is the prestigious Student Council. Almost every Tuesday morning at 7:45, students who are a part of this club are already hard at work at Centennial. "Stu Co" helps out around the school and community by doing change collections, bake sales, and acts of volunteering . They organize and run all of the activities during Homecoming week as well as putting on all major school dances except Prom and the Freshman dance. The most hectic week for Student Council members is Spirit Week where each class is in charge of decorating their designated hallway, building class floats, organizing court elections, and decorating for the dance. For an altruistic activity, Student Council, led by Joshua Kalipeni, raised hundreds of dollars for poor children in Africa . Club members spent two weeks carrying change cups and collecting loose change from the generous students of Centennial. Another great service club is Key Club. sponsored by Education to Careers and Professions teacher, Marc Changnon, and math teacher, Ann Webbink. Their main focus is to help around the community and school. They do many service jobs in order to lend a helping hand to those in need. One organization Key Club regularly helps out is the Champaign County Humane Society. The Humane Society has various jobs that Key Club likes to take part in; for example, shredding up newspaper, helping walk dogs, cleaning cages, and playing w1th the animals. Key Club also helps out at Crisis Nursery by organizing paperwork. Members are reg-

signing up to volunteer at nursmg homes. Members play bingo with the res1dents of the nurs1ng home, assist the residents, and somet1mes JUSt Sit down and talk to them . Key Club also tries to get the school hooked on recyclmg . Recycling creates 1. 1 million U.S. jobs, $236 b1ll1on in gross annual sales and $37 billion in annual payrolls. As a result of the impact of recycling 1n the U.S., Key Club members believe the impact of recycling at Centennial High School can be very effective as well. The final service club at Centennial is the National Honor Society. Members must do acts around the community to earn a minimum of fifteen service pomts. Each school year the students are required to earn the points, which can be gained by tutoring after school. voluteering at local charities, p1ckmg up trash around the school. and various other activities. National Honor Society is sponsored by teacher Karen Klebbe who helps direct the meetings held once a month. The members are also requ1red to maintain a 4 .5 grade point average and be a junior or sen1or. Each semester members can donate tissue boxes for points as well. These are used to provide all the classrooms and offices in Centenn1al w1th tissues . During the holiday season members are often seen volunteenng at Market Place Mall wrapping gifts for donat1ons only. National Honor Soc1ety members engage in volunteering activities to help better Centenn1al as well as the community. Words Logan Gilman Photography Centurian Staff

many exceptional electives that is offered for any Centennial student. Directed by Jerry Shelato and David Allen. band is a class that allows students to express themselves through their music. Not only is band a way to display their talents, but it gives students a chance to make new friends through the common interest of music. When Marching is completed. the members are sectioned off into three major bands: Symphonic. Winds. and Concert Band along with smaller bands such as Jazz Band, Pep Band, and various ensembles. Orchestra is another type of instrumental group that is for students who specialize in stringed instruments. Students who enroll in band usually start their musical careers as early as fourth grade; those who understand the advantages of

belonging to a musical unit will continue through high school. Band members have to face assessments twice every year. These individual performances for the directors establish the member's position within the band . Students have a chance to move to a higher chair in their band or even advance to a more elite band . Assessments let students show how hard they have worked throughout the year. Band members are actively involved in fund-raising throughout the year for their semi-annual trip. They held car washes. sold Yankee Candles. fruit baskets, and even snacks for the Centennial students between their finals passing periods. When the fundraising concludes. the members pack up for a memorable trip . This year the band is heading to New York to see the musical "Wicked". Words Danielle Banks Photography Centurian Staff

113 Vocal Music

In the halls of Centennial High School, it is hard to find a teacher whose name everyone is familiar with. However, Choir Director Marian Wyatt breaks the mold on that one, along with many other stereotypes one might have about teachers.

You are known for having a very good relationship with all of your students. Why are you so close with each of them? I think it's important that every student has someone they can trust. And it doesn't have to be me, but someone that they can bounce ideas off of that isn't one of their peers; it needs to be an adult. They need a role model.

: A

I would be very bored, lonely, and probably depressed. Music has the ability to turn your day around.

The highest level of choir, Expressions, is divided into "families" at the beginning of the year. What's the reason behind that? Honestly, it's so that people won't call me and bother me as much. If they have an older person that they can ask questions to. it gives me more time to do other things dealing with the choir. It also gives ownership to the students, unlike many other organizations where the younger kids have to do things for the older students. We do things in reverse.

Where do you see yourself thirty years from now? I would like to be a teacher of a wealthy family, sort of like a nanny, but not. I wouldn't be taking care of the kids, but I would educate them on how to be respectable members of society. I have my certification in elementary education as well as music. and I'd like to be in an environment with childrenforthe rest of my life.

: Q

Music is your life. How different would it be without the ability to sing?

Q: : A

If you could choose one word to describe yourself what

would

and

why?

The words that come to mind aren't exactly kind (laughs). There are so many words that mean different things. On one hand, some people might say I'm a driven person. but someone else might see me as passionate. Someone could say that a person is egotistical whereas someone else might see them as confident. I'd like to think that I'm nurturing. I'd like to think that I'm passionate. And I'd also like to think that I'm high energy... but some people might say I'm hyperactive.

121 Spring Musical As the song suggests, tale is as old as time. It all starts with a handsome, but self-absorbed pnnce played by Eric McCiarey. He gets the chance to help an old, beggar woman played by Crystal Mann, however, he treats her poorly, refusing to give her shelter in the bitter cold. Then, magically, she turns into a beautiful woman, casting a spell on the unworthy prince. His sentence: he shall become a beast until he can find it within himself to love someone, and earn their love in return. Then, the old woman leaves him with one thing: a rose. He must find love before the last petal falls. "It truly was a 'beast' of a show," Director Sue Aldridge admitted. "We sold out EVERY night! Technically, it was the most difficult show ever produced in my years at Centennial High School. One of the most rewarding experiences was when people came up to me after the performance and

said that they actually believed the Beast transformed into the prince. When that happened, it was one of the best feelings I've ever had." One of the stars of the show was Samuel Carmichael. who played the persistent and not-so-modest Gaston. More often than not he was followed around by his three gorgeous, but ditsy admirers, Erin Rolando, Hilary Pope, and Magan Strong. The four provided many side-grabbing laughs. This year's production is one the entire school will never forget. Anyone you talk to would agree that the night was indeed magical. From the costumes to the set the special effects and the lighting, the atmosphere was perfect. The moment the Beast put on his evening robes and David Grider said, "This is why I'm hot" was truly priceless. Words Kaleb Wachala Photography Krisitie Cozad and Primelight Studios

in dignity. In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, from ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean ." Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is a story of two families, the Capulets and the Montagues, embroiled in a deadly feud . Without knowing what family the other one is from, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet fall in love. Throughout the play, many characters die because of their love for each other and the hatred between the two families. The lead roles were played by seniors Daniel Walls and Alexandra Webber, pictured above . In this scene, Romeo is expressing his deep passion for Juliet. They have not known each other long, but are star-crossed

lovers and feel they are destined to be together. Walls and Webber have both been very active in theater at Centennial High School and were leads in last year's spring musical. Beauty and the Beast. Suzanne Aldridge, head of the theater department and director of Romeo and Juliet. had help from Robert Aldridge on the set for the play. Its design was made to be a very basic set so it could easily become every scene in the play. To create unique lighting on the stage, there was fabric hung from the ceiling which created a dramatic lighting effect. In the play, there were many fighting scenes that happened in the streets of Verona . The fighting coach and choreographer was science teacher Jeff Dougan, who was assisted by Stefanie Eng-

strom. For months before Romeo and Juliet could be performed on stage, the cast parried, lunged, and dueled for a multitude of hours to ensure an accurate depiction of the Elizabethan era play. This was one of the more difficult plays Centennial has put on . Since it was written in Elizabethan English, the lines took longer to memorize and even longer to perfect. Many times, cast members were seen perfect1ng their lines in the hallway between classes . The language made the play have an even more dramatic effect than usual. Luckily for Mrs. Aldridge and the crew, all the time, effort and hard work paid off to create a phenomenal production enjoyed by all audiences.

If there was someting to define the 2007 Centennial softball season, it would be that motivation is necessary to improvement. This season. the Varsity team's record was 10-25, which was an outstanding and impressive improvement from the previous years. Some of the team 's highest batting averages included Caroline Helton, pictured right. who had an average of .396, Taylor Stenzel who hit .345. and Area Shelton who batted .297. Helton was a key part of the team, as she improved greatly over the season and showed great potential for

the future. As the season progressed, the girls on the team learned to grow as a team together, as well as individuals. Throughout the year, the team became much more mentally tough, determined, and competitive athletes. As a whole, the team had very good stat1st1cs throughout the entire season . These girls had over two hundred hits, eighty five RBI's. and twelve triples. The most exciting game the team played was against rival Champaign Central. The Chargers played a near perfect game, with outstanding defense that

allowed only one run and had the the greatest hitting game of the season, with a total of 11 runs leading to a dominating victory of 11 -1. By the end of the season, the girls had improved drastically. Having many freshmen and sophomores on varsity will ensure a seasoned team for the future as these girls will be able to act as leaders when they are upperclassmen. lfthe women 's softball team maintains the level of improvement that they have. they will have a very bright and promising future.

The 2007 Junior Varsity and Freshmen baseball teams exceeded expectat ions for the past season . The JV team f inished with a record of 21 wins and 4 losses while the freshmen team finished at 12 wins and 6 losses. TheJVteam, coached by Sam Flowers, was very versatile as several players covered many different positions. This group of players improved greatly since their freshmen year. Some key victories for the sophomore squad were beating Urbana and Central twice . A few of the key players for the JV team were Donald McDuffee, pictured right, who led the team in pitching strike-

outs w ith 37, Dylan Hast who had a batting average of .400, and Casey White who scored 21 runs. For the Freshmen team , coached by Justin Will is, solid and fundamental baseball defined their play. With hard earned victories over Bloomington, Urbana, and Central, the Chargers proved that with solid fielding , good pitch ing, and timely hitting you can beat anyone. Some of the star players for the Freshmen were Ryan Jeric who led the team in batting average, Jacob Flessner who was the team 's best power hitter, and James Mihm who was a very clutch hitter. A turning po int for

the freshmen Chargers w as during the Danville Schlarman game. The freshmen overcame two late deficits, showing the determ ination that they displayed the whole year. The JV team 's talent and baseball knowledge led them to many victories. Even though they were different styles of teams they proved to be equally as successful. The future of the varsity program looks very bright with these strong JV and Freshman teams. Overall this was a very good season for these two squads. Words Robb Coza d Photography Kristie Cozad.

1 A strike is swiftly caught by Kaleb Wachala . As one of the t ea m's main catchers, Wachala started many of the games. 2 Daniel Plecki winds up before he throws a powerful pitch. Plecki pitched a total of 23 strikeouts. When Plecki wasn 't pitching, he played first base.

The 2007 varsity baseball team had an extraordinary season, even with only one returning senior. There were two extremely talented underclassmen, a freshman and a sophomore; and also fifteen exceptional juniors. With team averages of .894 in fielding and .299 in hitting, it is obvious how well the team worked together. "Everyone on the team got along with each other, both on and off the field," said Collin DeDecker. "At practice we would help each other out with what we needed work on, and during the games we kept each others' heads up. Even off the baseball field we would see each other, either in the

halls and classes at school or hanging out together. That made us a closer team so when we got on the field for a game we would have fun and work together." The team had an average of about 3 runs given up in 7 innings, proving their great defensive skills. Offense and scoring also proved to be outstanding, with many players hitting home runs, creating a total RBI (runs batted in) of 134. A leading pitcher on the team was Joel Merchen, pictured right. Merchen was invaluable to the team, being what baseball players call a "southpaw". His crafty left handed pitch threw off numerous opponents, lead-

ing to many strikeouts. Several of the players were selected as honorable mention for the All Conference team : Addison Aina, Joshua Beamer, Tyler Stefan. and Kaleb Wachala . Daniel Plecki had the honor of being selected to the first team of All Conference. "One of my personal goals at the beginning of the year was to make an All Area team . I practiced hard and played harder. I am proud of my, as well as the team 's. accomplishments. I feel that next year we have the tools to win it all; we shouldn't fall short." said Wachala.

Try playing a sport where kicking, shoving, and chasing after fast moving balls is common. Then try playing it in the rain, forty degree weather, or in the blistering heat. This is what defines our women's soccer team. The weather and aggressiveness of the game do not stop them from playing the sport they love. Sandra Kieser, varsity player, commented on the season, "Playing soccer last year was great! I felt that the team came together so much more than in the past and we worked really hard to improve our skills, which I think showed by the end of the season because we

ended with a pretty good record." The girls went through a season of bonding, learning, and having fun. It is always bittersweet when something comes to an end, and it was no different for the girls and the soccer season. Even though the season was so much fun and held a lot of memories, the girls worked hard and pushed themselves, so by the end of the season they were worn out and ready for some sleep. Being on the team not only consists of practice daily, but also playing multiple games per week which often resulted in missed classes and late

Miller was one of the most talented players on the team and advanced to the State tournament. Miller has been playing tennis for as long as he can remember.

The 2007 men 's tennis team produced one of the most successful seasons in Centennial's already very impressive history. The Chargers got the season off to a fantastic start by winning eight of their first twelve dual meets. Centennial had a very talented roster including many key underclassmen as well as some strong seniors. Leading the way was David Ruedi. pictured right who placed first at the Sectional meet which automatically qualified him for the State tournament which was held at Hersey High School. located in Arlington Heights. The team had a very successful championship season, placing second at

the Big 1 2 Conference meet. Centennial played very well at the meet with many players placing in the top three including Billy Regan and John Lee (3rd Doubles) and Ruedi and Quinn Miller (doubles). The Charger's success carried them into the Sectional meet where they were victorious. Winning for the first time in several years, the Chargers out played longtime rival Danville, who is a dominant downstate tennis powerhouse. "It was really exciting to beat Danville because they are always a really good team," said Regan of the upset pulled off by the Chargers. At State, Ruedi was joined by teammates Mill-

er, Brett Shaw. and Kevin Ranney, who all qualified because of their outstanding performances at the Sectional meet. Ruedi won his first match 6-1, 6-3 and placed 22nd overall. Miller placed 35th in singles and dynamic doubles duo Shaw and Ranney placed 33rd. Because Centennial only lost four seniors. the Chargers' future looks extremely bright and promising because of their strong underclassmen and depth.

When added together, hockey, football, soccer, and basketball combine to form the intense and fastpaced game of lacrosse. Many people do not know much about the exciting sport of lacrosse other than that it is a very aggressive and fierce game. Lacrosse players are extremely tough and have to be very dedicated to their sport. Contact during a lacrosse game is very much like a football game, where players are constantly hitting each other. The ability to combine strategy, technique. agility, endurance, and strength causes players to be very proud of being on the team.

It takes dedication and commitment. Lacrosse is also a complicated game that takes coordination. Players use sticks to catch and pass the ball: not an easy feat. Lacrosse has three different positions; attack (offense), defense. and midfield (offense and defense). IHSA does not recognize lacrosse as a sport. Also, Unit 4 does not recognize them as a team . Therefore, they are all self-supplied, self-budgeted, and selfcoached; parents and some of the players served as coaches. Since they are not sponsored by one school, the team accepts players from all Unit 4 high schools. For games. the team travels

The varsity squad's success. as well as a junior varsity team 's promising year. will bring success in the future. In order to achieve the success that these men did, it took a great deal of hard work. motivation. teamwork. and practice. Practices for the season started in late July and consisted of numerous types of conditioning workouts which gave the team the stamina needed throughout the long season. This year. the team 's most exciting victory was

against Peoria Notre Dame. This contest was to clinch the Sectional Championship as well as advance to the State tournament. Throughout most of the game. the score was 1-0. With less than one minute left Kyle Bullock scored a goal to tie the game and take them into overtime. In overtime.

The girls' cross country team was much smaller than in previous years with a team consisting of only seven members, most new to the team. Despite the size of the team the girls worked hard and gave their best effort at every meet. When asked about the team's performance. Claire Tortorelli, pictured right. said, "We did a lot better than expected this year." The girls ran anywhere from four to seven miles each day to get in shape for the three mile meets. Running such long distances can take a toll on a runner's body. There were many injuries throughout the season, and almost every girl

sustained an injury at some point during the season. Injuries did not keep the girls from running impressive times at the beginning of the season. At the Charleston Invite, Tortorelli ran a time of 21 minutes and 44 seconds and Alexandra Mauer ran a time of 22 minutes 23 seconds. With such a small team it was difficult to place high at invitationals. but there were some advantages. Abigail Peterson said "I really like the team size. It made it a lot easier to get to know all of the girls. They were all really nice and fun to hang out with at the meets." At the Regional meet. the girls were able to run

outstanding races. and they took fifth place. This finished earn the Lady Chargers a trip to the Sectional meet. which was very exciting for the girls because they were not expecting to advance to the meet. which was held in East Peoria, Illinois.

A small team does not mean small talent. Centennial women's golf team proves this in the 2007 season. Though it had only eleven players, the team was able to excel at all of their matches. A majority of the team members were returning veterans, but the rookies added the extra depth. For Jenna and Elizabeth Dombroski, pictured right. golf is in the family. Exactly like her older sister, Jenna, Elizabeth is a phenomenon on the team. The younger Dombroski. a freshman, is a replica of Jenna. "This was my first year on the team. I was nervous in the beginning, but as the year went on I became more

comfortable and had fun with Jenna and the other girls, " said Elizabeth. "It was really exciting having my sister on the team. I always enjoy watching her and we have fun playing together," said Jenna. Both girls were key players on the team and always enjoy winning scores at matches and competitions. The sisters also qualified for State, with Jenna placing 17th and Elizabeth placing 60th. As usual. the Women's Golf Team was exceptional at all of their tournaments. A highlight for the team was when they won the Big 12 Conference tournament. "I definitely think the high point of the season

for all of us was winning Conference. We got to show what we can do and prove we're a front-runner in the Conference," said Krista Vedvik. Other memorable victories included Maroa-Forsyth, who the team had not beaten for seven years. and Mahomet. The girls on the team enjoyed each others company, on and off the golf course. There was plenty of time to bond while traveling out of town to tournaments, though on the green, there was always an air of friendly competition. W ords Erin Holm Photography Primelight Studios.

The 2007 men's golf team was one filled with experience and the desire to improve. The Chargers proved to be a very diverse group of golfers, with many experienced upperclassmen performing well in matches while hardworking underclassmen improved their skills. Having upperclassmen being able to show to freshmen the ropes turned out to be helpful in making them relax and play better. Freshman Austin Hunt commented, "All the older players helped me understand how matches work and they also helped me play relaxed and perform my best." As for the overall sue-

cess of the team, the Chargers, coached by Brandon Coffey, improved greatly over the course of the season. Joseph Smith, pictured right placed third at the State Tournament shooting a 71 and a 73. Placing in the top ten for the fourth time in his high school career made him a four time All-State team member. Smith commented on his play at State, "Overall I hitthe ball very well but on the second day I just missed some opportunities." Some of the other consistent top six players on the team were William Regan, Bryan Wachtel, Myles Goudy, Brandon Barak, and Robb Cozad. Wachtel was the only other indi-

vidual to place in the top eight at Regionals by shooting an 86, which qualified him for Sectionals. Regan's best round of the year was when he shot a 7 9 at the Danville Invitational. Overall, Centennial had a great season on and off the course . The veterans lead the team in matches while the underclassmen were able to improve their game so that they can take over this team in later years in order to continue the Charger's winning tradition.

At the St. Anthony Doubles Invite,

the number one team of Mary Kate Krouse and Megan Suchoff won their second and third round matches. The number two doubles team of Megan Mast and Shelby Mammano matched this performance with wins in their second and thrid round matches.

At the Conference tournament the team took fourth place. Leading the Chargers at Conference was Mast who took first place in the number five singles divi-

The Sectional Meet was the point where all the hard work paid off. The Chargers were Sectional champions which qualified all six of the varsity players for the State meet. Suchoff and Krouse qualified in the singles division and the teams of Mast and Mears and Brittany Avallone and Mammano qualified in the doubles division. With five of the top six players returning, the team will continue to be one of the best in the area. W ords Norah Cetin Photography Kathy Mast, Primelight Studio

1) Soaring through the air, Emily Weber executes her dive with style and grace. Because of her outstanding performance at Sectionals, she qualified for the State meet where she joined the elite ranks of the top 12 divers in Illinois.

Centennial has always been dominant on the down-state swimming and diving scene, and this year's Lady Chargers were not an exception to this tradition. The Chargers had a much smaller team than in previous years but were still a force to be reckoned with. At the Charger Invite, the girls had several outstanding performances and earned a third place finish. Though they lost to Central in a close dual meet. the girls bounced back and placed second at the Bloomington Invite. As the season quickly progressed, the team continued to exceed preseason expectations. As the regular season

came to an end, the performances were only starting to heat up for the Chargers. At the Big 12 Conference meet. the swimmers were given an early boost from their divers, who competed in the morning session. In the afternoon, the swimmers had many top three finishes and took home a second place trophy. After a week off. the girls were prepared to dominate at Sectionals, held at the Unit 4 Pool. As she qualified for the State meet. diver Norah Cetin broke Centennial's pool record. Emily Weber also qualified for State with an outstanding score of 422.89 . Using the divers' momentum of first and sec-

ond place finishes, the swimmers began their portion of the meet by qualifying their medley relay, consisting of Karli Jackson, Jane Black, Alyssa Petruzzello, and Marla Westervelt for State. The Chargers had many outstanding swims with significant time drops. Black qualified individually for State in the 100 Breaststroke while Petruzzello qualified in the 100 Butterfly and the 100 Backstroke. At State, Cetin and Weber both advanced to finals and placed 7th and 11th, respectively. Words Alyssa Petruzzello Photography Liz Brunson, Randy Cetin, Kristie Cozad, Primelight Studios

Centennial volleyball has always been known as a top team in the area. This season was no exception for the Lady Chargers. The freshman and junior varsity teams both had incredible records of 267 and 28-5. respectively. All of the girls worked hard when the season started back in August. Their hard work and talent showed during the games. During a game agaisnt Macarthur. Morgan Leach. pictured right. had two kills. two blocks and one ace throughout the game. Along with the number of wins each team had throughout the season. the

freshman and junior varsity teams had high finishes at invitationals. The junior varsity team placed first at the Central and Charger Invites. while the freshman team placed first at the Morton Invite and second at the Urbana and Unity Invites. The first place finish at the Morton Invite was especially exciting for the Chargers because they were not expecting a win . When asked about the tournament Emma Lockmiller said. "It was really exciting to be the first freshman team from Centennial to win the Morton tournament." A reason for the great success of Centennial

volleyball is because of how well the girls blended . " We were all good friends and got along really well which made it easier to work together as a team, " explained freshman Hannah Schlake. The freshman and JV teams meshed over the course of the season and this amity bodes well for the future of Centennial volleyball.

The 2007 Varsity volleyball season was definitely one to remember. The Chargers wasted no time preparing for their season; many players participated in club volleyball during the off-season. which gave them a leg up on their competition . Centennial has perennially been an outstanding volleyball team, and this year was no exception. Centennial won their first 18 games before falling short to Bloomington. The Chargers put their loss in the past and went on to win their next eight out of ten games. Leading up to the postseason. the Chargers' record was 31-4. the best in Centennial's history. In

the first round of Regionals. Centennial handled Danville with ease. beating them in two games with scores of 25-14 and 25-17. The Chargers' next opponent was crosstown rival Champaign Central. whom the Chargers easily beat in two games. Playing in the first round of Sectionals. the Chargers faced Lincoln . Though the Chargers won the first game. they couldn't pull together as a unit to win and lost the final two games. bringing their memorable season to an abrupt end . Though the Chargers did not make it as far into the postseason as they may have liked, many milestones were reached throughout

the season. Alexis Braghini. pictured right. moved up to second place on the All Time Leaders List in aces and blocks and fourth in kills. Cassandra Leisner and Melanie Moore are now fourth and fifth on the assist list and Leisner is also fifth on the aces list. With only five seniors graduating, the future of the team looks extremely promising with most of the starters returning and many talented underclassmen coming from junior varsity.

Though many people do not consider marching band to be a sport it is actually very competitive. Marching band requires skill, dedication. coordination, and hours of practice, just like any other competitive team. The season really begins duing band camp which is held on the Centennial practice field from eight A . M . until five P. M . with only an hour off for lunch. During this weeklong session, under the scorching sun of late July and early August the members must learn the music as well as the field positions for the entire show. With the start of the new school year, the band perfected their program

which was performed at several competitions. as well as at each home football game. competiBand tions consist of seven different categories: Parade. Field Show. Drum Line, Color Guard, Drum MaJOrs, Music, and Overall. The Drum Majors. Jennifer Grill, Jennifer Prillaman, and Tom Witkin. know the immense responsibility they hold, so they attended a special camp for drum majors during the summer. They also spent countless hours outside of the required practice time to perfect their directing skills. This dedication paid off at the University of Illinois Field Show, the largest of all of the contests

in which the Marching Chargers participated. The drum majors placed first in the parade competition. The look on Hannah Schlacke's face, pictured right as she watches the drum major's direction. indicates the trust the band has in these leaders. The marching band underwent some major changes this year, giving the Centennial Marching Band an entire new sound . The Marching Chargers were led by a new director, Michael Allen, who coached them to great success.

Both the Junior Varsity and Freshmen football teams' seasons were defined by improvement. The sophomore class had a much improved record from their freshmen year and finished with a record of seven and two. While this year's freshman team may have struggled in the win/loss column, they definitely improved and were able to compete in each game they played. Coached by Joel Bergener, the JV Chargers were a very solid football team. With key wins over Danville, Central. and Normal West the Chargers proved with hardwork and determina-

tion, you can beat anybody. With running backs like Shaquille Traylor and James Johnson, pictured right and defensive specialists like Jake Schilling, Michael Walker, and Tyler Wick, this turned out to be an excellent team on both sides of the ball. For all freshmen teams it is difficult to win because they lose their best players to the JV team. This team, coached by Kyle Herges, stuck it out and played hard each game. Though the results were not always there, it does not mean that this was an unsuccessful season. They were right in every game they played and

even had a win against the Big 12 opponent Normal Community. This showed that this group can play with anyone and that bigger and better things are to come of them . The future of the varsity team looks very bright with these two very promising and talented teams. The tradition of Centennial's strong football teams looks to continue with these competitive young men.

To describe football, there are many words to choose from : Pain. Risk. Pressure. But to sum up the Centennial Varsity Football team, only one word is needed : Dedication. As the 2007 Chargers know, playing football is not to be taken lightly. The team starts practicing in June, in the scorching summer heat. Soon the infamous two-a-days start with long practices in both the morning and evening involving running, drills, and weights. It all pays off because the Chargers are ready when the season begins. As the season continues, it does not get any easier. There are intense practices, long bus rides to games,

and muddy scrimmages in the rain. Daily practices frequently put a strain on the balance between sports, school work, and friends. When M ikel Leshoure, pictured right scores a touchdown, he knows it was all worth it. "Scoring a touchdown is the best feeling in the world. Not only does it get me pumped, it gets my teammates and the coaching staff pumped," said Leshoure. Not only was Leshoure chosen for the All State team, he has broken every career and single season rushing record in the Twin Cities area and at Centennial. The Chargers were able to enjoy many victories, some with nail biting finishes

while others were complete shut outs. "Shut out games were awesome because we, as a team, played our hearts out; knowing that the other team didn't score was a great feeling," said Alexander M orse, pictured right. Some of the players had the honor of being selected for the prestigious All Area team, those being Alexander Bruce, Jack Harrington, Ethan Householder, Mikel Leshoure, and Tyler Stefan. Special mentions were Jonathan Davidson, Thomas Eddleman, Rayvonte Rice, and Kyle West. W ords Erin Holm Photography Kristie Cozad, Holly Hart Primelight Studios

"''m a crowd ing, cheer yelling, building, short skirt wearing, toe touching, hand clapping, big smiling Charger cheerleader!" Cheerleading is a combination of tumbling, stunts, cheers, jumps, yelling, and dancing . There are actually five different squads in the cheerleading program : Varsity and Junior Varsity for the football season, Varsity and Junior Varsity for the basketball season. and a Competition group. At tryouts, candidates must indicate whether they will participate in one season. both seasons. or both seasons and competition . In order to participate on competition team. a member must be on the squad during basketball season . The girls travel with the teams for away games, as well as support them at home. Many people believe because the girls cheer for other athletes and sports, cheerleading itself is not a sport. What most people do

not know is that the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) has their own series of competitions for cheerleaders and, according to IHSA rules, in order to enter those meets, the squads must cheer for the other sports. At the competitions the scores are broken down into categories and the total score is composed of all the sections. These sections include voice and projection, motions, jumps, tumbling, pyramids and stunts, formations and transitions, choreography, degree of difficulty, synchronization, and overall effectiveness. Each section is rated out of 10 points totaling 100 points for the final score. The girls do a routine to music. cut and formatted for their unique performance. One of cheer squad 's main objectives is to get everyone to be together, demonstrating the synchronization and teamwork of the squad . This is often demonstrated by the flyers of the squad, including Hannah

Donohue, Logan Gilman, Chelsea Terrio, and Amber Adams, pictured right. At some point during the routine the girls will have no music and will cheer for the voice projection section as well as a contribution to the motion, formation and transition, synchronization. choreography and overall effectiveness sections. At competitions the girls have an opportunity to, and are expected to be, as loud, exaggerated, and full out as they can be. They push themselves to the limit so they can win the trophy at State finals and become State champions . The routines can be three minutes in length and equal amounts of music and cheer. Centennial's competition team participates in the medium division which means it is an all girls team and there are 16 athletes on the squad .

Cheerleaders are in charge of getting the crowd pumped up and involved m the game. 4) Hannah Donohue demonstrates her elasticity through this move, called the scorpion .

This sort of precision is especially important for competitions. Competitions run from January all the way through April. They compete at Big 12 Conference. Sectionals, State. and State finals if they qualify. 2007 marked the first time the Centennial cheerleaders qualified for State and made it to State finals. 5) Elizabeth Zunich performs a perfect 180 degree toe-touch .

Cheerleaders can go above and beyond 180 and overextend the ir jumps after an incredible amount of hard work and practice. 6) Logan Gilman "flies high" as she gets thrown in a basket toss to do a "kick-double ." Baskets are among the favorites of the crowd when it comes to watching the cheerleaders perform.

Anderson has been a team captatn for three out of the four years she has been on the dance team . She was instrumental in the choreography of routines and running practtces.

When the Centennial dance team steps onto the football field or basketball court. the crowd knows that they are in for a spectacular performance. With gravity defying leaps and sky high kicks, the dance team never fails to entertain the crowd. The team always executes their moves with all the ease in the world, but perfection comes with a price. The team practices three to four days a week for two hours. This does not include the extra time put in before competitions or games. Unlike most sports, the dance team is in season for nearly the whole year. Tryouts are held in the middle of May, and the

team begins practice immediately to prepare for dance camp. Putting on the Mr. Charger program in April marks the end of the season. Every summer the team attends the elite UDA (Universal Dance Association) camp, held at Illinois State University. At camp, the team practices technique and learn several new routines. which are judged at the end of camp . This summer, the team placed third in the small varsity category, earning them a bid to Nationals. Performances by the dance team go far beyond dancing at halftime of sporting events. As the season progresses, the team prepares for competitions. These in-

elude Regional, Sectional, and State competitions. Over the past few years, the dance team has competed with IOTA (Illinois Drill Team Association). However, this year the team plans to compete with UDA because they feel they will get more experience and more creativity. At their first Regional competition in January, the team placed first in their category, giving them an invitation to State. They also won Best Overall Choreography in the competition .

Basketball 1s a truly intense sport. and this year the girls on both the Junior Varsity and freshman teams demonstrated the intensity needed to win. Not only is basketball a combination of running, jumping, and shooting, but it involves strategic thinking. "You don't only have to know where you go for plays, but you have to think and make quick decisions about your opponents," said Hannah Schlake, pictured right. This year was the beginning of a new era in Centennial women's basketball. The freshman head coach Toria Burton and JV head coach Jessica Weber

were both new to the Charger coaching staff. Though new faces at Centennial. neither is a stranger to the basketball court. Both played collegiate basketball and have been involved in the game for many years. With the shortage of returning sophomores, the majority of the JV team was made up of freshmen. The dearth of players meant the teams practiced together, and many of the individuals played for both teams. Though difficult at times, freshman Elizabeth Dahl was up to the task. "Having double the amount of games was challenging at times, but it gave me an extra opportu-

nity to play and improve my skills." One of the highlights of the season was playing against cross-town rival, Central. Although the team lost it was by a narrow margin leading to optimism for future meetings. Although new players meant inexperience, much progress was made throughout the year. By the end of the season, not only were the scoring statistics higher, but rebounds increased and turnovers decreased. The season turned out to be a true learning and growmg experience.

1 ) Making her way towards the hoop, Sharon Ford carefully dribbles to keep away from her opponent. Ford was considered a superior guard on both teams as her speed and tenacity put her a notch above the competition . 2) Faking to the right Ruby Rosario drives the ball down the court to score yet another basket. Rosario was one of the key players on the JV team, mainly due to the experience she brought to the team . As a sophomore on a youth-filled team , Rosario was able to teach many of the younger players valuable lessons throughout the season .

3) Amid a group of Central players, Rebecca Downey leaps to make a lay-up. Downey, a freshman, was an important asset to both the JV and freshman teams because of her interior presence on the court. 4) First year Centennial coach Toria Burton talks with her freshman team about game strategy. Burton stressed teamwork above self. which showed through the team 's altruistic play. 5) With an impressive leap, Jasmine Small is able to block the basket and foil her opponent's shot. Though not incredibly tall, Small made a exceptional rebounder because of her tenacity .

1 ) Driving around a Central defender. Anteshia Anderson looks for a seam in the defense as she pushes the ball down the court. Anderson. who transferred from Urbana. was a key part of the team . She specialized as an excellent ball handler and was also a threat on the defensive end. 2) Absorbing contact from her opponent and getting her shot off, Sandra Lambert scores two points as she is fouled . Lambert's athleticism and energy brought consistency to the team over the course of the season.

The 2007-2008 women's Varsity basketball season marked the beginning of a new era full of change and success. Coming off of an unfulfilling season. the team was left questioning the future of the program. Despite this big change, the Chargers were able to compile a record of 10-16 in new head coach Susan Thomas' first year. The team started practicing together at the open gym workouts held in the summer and they never slowed down after that. Coach Thomas is a hard worker and expected the same out of every player. The team worked on drills at nearly every practice to fine

tune their skills and to sharpen up their game. This only meant success for the Chargers as they quickly became one of the most competitive teams in the Big 12 and they were not a team to be underestimated. Though the Cha~ gers were winless a year ago, this year's team was not going to let that happen again. They won their season opener which definitely boosted their confidence for the season. which was filled with many exciting games that often came down to the wire or went into overtime. The Chargers also defeated cross-town rival Champaign Central twice. in exciting games that show the dras-

tic improvements that the program has made in only a year. Near the end of the seaon. four year starter Rachael Follmer eclipsed the all time scoring record to join some of Centennial's most elite players. Follmer also became the all-time leader for three pointers made. The Chargers made a run for the Big 12 Conference title but were stopped short by Urbana. This disappointing ending left the Chargers wanting more and they are already looking forward to next season. Words Alyssa Petruzzello, Chelsea Terrio Photography Centurian Staff. Holly Hart.

To have a successful basketball team, not only does the team need talented players, but it must be very hard-working. The 20072008 JV and Freshman Basketball teams showed that this was true as they both finished with very successful seasons. TheJVteam posted a record of thirteen and five while the Freshman put up a record of sixteen and three . The JV team, led by coach Dave Hansen, consistently improved over the course ofthe season, playing some oftheir best basketball at the end of the year. The Chargers most impressive wins of the year included victories over Bloomington,

Normal West, and Central. They also had to deal with the loss of two sophomores to the Varsity team . However, this did not deter the Chargers. Sophomores Jimmie McDonald and Tiger O'Neil, and freshman Joshua Piper, pictured right, led the team to victory in many games. The Freshman team, coached by Marc Changnon, also had a season to remember. After losing their first game to Mahomet, the Chargers turned things around, and won sixteen of their next eighteen games. The freshmen capped off their season with a Big 12 tournament championship .

Led by forwards Austin Leevy and Javonte Miles, and guard Lawrence Kinney, the Chargers made great strides. improving in all aspects of the game. Some of their key wins included victories over Decatur MacArthur, Normal West and Normal Community. Overall, the future looks very bright for Centennial's basketball program .

"We had a really good year. Everybody played hard every game and the coaches did a great job of getting the players prepared every day."

1) Lawrence Kinney crosses over while looking to penetrate into the lane in a home game against Danville. Kinney's court vision played a big part in many of the team 's victories as he averaged a team high 2.2 assists per game . 2) Tiger O'Neil slams home a dunk in a win at Decatur MacArthur. O'Neil's high-flying style of play was key for the JV Chargers as it led to many fast breaks and easy points. O'Neil often led the Chargers in scoring, including one game at Danville where he scored 23 points.

Emmanuel Richter-Shea sweeps past a Central defender on his way to the hoop. Richter-Shea 's great athleticism was displayed by grabbing 6.9 rebounds a game. 4) While avoiding a Mahomet defender, Jimmie McDonald looks for an open teammate to receive his pass.

Although having an experienced basketball team is good, it is not always necessary. The 2007-2008 Varsity basketball team proved that this was true in every way. With six of their eight leading scorers being sophomores or juniors. this team was out to show that youth really is not an excuse. The Chargers got off to a hot start and never seemed to cool down. After taking second place at the Lincoln tournament and then falling to Eisenhower, the Chargers went on a tear, winning their next five games and placing fifth at the Centralia Holiday Tournament. Center Jeff Johnson shared his thoughts on

the team's play at Centralia, "It was a great experience for our team . It brought us closer together and helped us play as a team ." After their successful Centralia tournament and a big win against Normal Community, the Chargers were feeling as confident as ever heading into a showdown with Central. However, they came up short against their cross-town rivals, but they would get their revenge. In the rematch against Central, the Chargers came out on top with a 74-69 win . Forward Rayvontae Rice, pictured right, commented on the game, "They beat us the first time we played them so we knew we had to come to

play, and we went in their house and got the job done." After defeating Urbana in the regional opener, the third Centennial-Central match-up was confirmed for the regional championship. This time, however, cross-town rival Central defeated the Chargers in a hard-fought contest. The Chargers finished the season with a record of 21-8 and placed third in the strong Big 12 conference.

Johnson's consistent play and hard-working attitude was very beneficial to the Chargers. 4) Looking up the court for an open man, Tyler Stefan tries to find a teammate to pass to . Stefan was often deadly from behind the three point arc and this showed in a win over Danville where he had 15 points while making all five of his three pointers.

5) James Kinney blows past a Rich South defender on the way to a nail-biting victory. Kinney was the team 's leading scorer and assist man averaging 16.1 points and 6.1 assists a game. 6) Jacob Cocagne passes the ball to a cutting teammate in a win at Danville. Cocagne's hustle and positive attitude always provided a good spark for the Chargers. 7) After securing a loose baiL Collin Dedecker looks up the floor for an open man to receive his pass. Dedecker's senior leadership was crucial to success on the youth filled team .

184 Sports 1) Pinning his opponent. Nicholas Congdon scores six pomts for the Chargers in the Prairie Central Invite. The goal of Wrestlers is to pin their opponents in as little time as possible. Congdon placed second at the Regional Meet. Congdon said "I was really happy with how I did this season. Placing second at Regionals was a big improvement from last year" 2) Cameron Pickett places a colored band on his ankle to distinguish him from his opponent. Red bands represent the wrestlers from the away team wh1le green represents the home team .

Few people realize the hard work and commitment behind wrestling. The Centennial wrestling team practices for three hours everyday after school, doing strenuous conditioning such as running bleachers, sit ups, and push ups. To be a top wrestler you must be very strong while maintaining a certain weight in order to wrestle in the lowest weight class possible. The Centennial Chargers showed that they had what it takes in practice and displayed their prowess during the meets. At the St. Joseph-Ogden Invitational, the Chargers proved they could step it up when the pressure was

on. The Chargers were behind by eighteen points before their triumphant comeback. David Mitev, pictured right, started the Chargers off with a win in the 160 pound weight class . Chris King wrestled in the Varsity spot in the 119 pound weight class to help secure a victory for the Chargers with a final score of 41-30. Defeating cross town rival Champaign Central along the way to a fifth place finish at the Conference Meet helped the boys to prove themselves as one of the top teams in down-state Illinois. Continuing their success. the Chargers went on to place third at Regionals . Hai Bui. Adam Graning and Napolean

Jones finished third in their weight class, while Nick Congdon, Cameron Pickett Michael Brown, Dakota Tiger and Mitev finished second. Eight of the team 's members went on to compete at the Sectional Meet. These wrestlers included Congdon, Pickett. Brown, Bui, Jones, Graning, and Tiger. Pickett was the only member of the team to advance to the State Meet. With such a strong JUnior class, Centennial men 's wrestling will continue to be one of the most dominant teams in the area .

With a smaller team than usual, the Centennial men's swimming and diving team still managed to keep the tradition of being a powerhouse. The Chargers knew they were going to have to work extremely hard to build the team to what they wanted it to be. With the addition of several new swimmers and two outstanding freshman divers, the team was able to pose a threat to other teams. The team 's accomplishments did not come without extreme personal effort on every members part. With nine practices a week, these boys had to stay focused, continue to give their best efforts, and stay mentally positive. With morning

practices starting before the sun came up and evening practices ending well after the sun went down, it would have been easy for the team to get discouraged and lose their motivation. The obstacles that the Chargers faced only made them stronger and better prepared for the championship season . The Twin City meet was the start of the successful championship meets that the Chargers attended. Competing against crosstown rivals Central and Urbana. the Chargers cruised past the competition on their way to season best times and clinching second place. With a spectacular finish at the Twin City meet. the Chargers were ready

1) Zachary Mueller dives m to compete in the 50 yard freestyle during Sen1or Night. Mueller was a key component and anchored the Charger's State qualifying Medley Relay and also the 200 Free Relay. 2) Stretching to form a perfect pike, William Holder hits his back pike dive at the Sectional meet. Holder placed second at the meet and his score of 405 .75 advanced him to the State meet where he was seeded 13th. This was the first year in Centennial history where two freshman divers qualified for the State meet.

for their Big 12 Conference meet. With numerous time drops and perfect dives, the Chargers managed to place 4th. After Conference, nine swimmers and two divers progressed to Sectionals. At the end of the Sectional meet. the Chargers were ecstatic to advance four swimmers and two divers to the State meet. Paul Folts, pictured right. was one of the four swimmers to qualify; Folts qualified in three events. Along with Folts, Jordan Branham. William Holder, Zachary Mueller.

1) Erin O'Leary strikes a pose at the end of her floor routine. O'Leary received a score of 8.5 on the floor exercise. There are two judges on each event which give a gymnast a score between one and ten. with ten being the highest. After each judge has calculated his or her score. the two scores are then averaged. which is the score the gymnast receives for her routine.

On the outside. gymnastics looks like just a bunch of flips and twists. but on the inside it's so much more. It's strength. flexibility, determination. precision and perfection mixed with blood. sweat and tears. The girls on the Centennial Gymnastics team practice twenty hours a week. Their practices are filled with strenuous conditioning, such as running stairs and lifting weights in addition to working on their routines on each of the four events. The events are vault. uneven bars. balance beam and floor exercise. Each event has specific requirements that each girl must meet in her routines. Since gymnas-

4 4 ) Abby Karch shows off her skills on the balance beam. Karch is performing a handstand on a beam that is only four inches wide. Beam is a very difficult event to master. It can also be dangerous if the gymnast does not perform each move with balance and precision. Karch 's score on the balance beam was an 8 .75 .

2)Erin O ' Leary gets ready to tumb le during her floor routine . One of the requirements of the floor exercise is to have at least th ree tumbling passes. A tumbling pass is the series of flips and twist that the gymnast performs. 3) Abby Karch dismounts the ba lance beam . Karch is doing a back tuck as her dismount. There are three positions a gymnast can do her dismount in : a tuck. pike or straight position .

1) At a speech tournament in Normal, the team takes the time to watch the other schools' performances while sizing up the competition . Generally, one of the more popular events is the Original Comedy category, which keeps those in the audience entertained while keeping the team members loose and relaxed for their upcoming performances. Stage fright is simply not an option for the Centennial Speech team. As an award winning team. they know how to combat their fear of public speaking . "As I progressed in speech. I learned to overcome my fears and become a better speaker:Âˇ said lman Sharabash . The team is composed of students excelling in a variety of speaking skills. including dramatic interpretation. radio speaking, and oratory. Competition for the team involves long days at tournaments. practicing, and performing. Some events. such as extemporaneous speaking, require vast research and prior knowledge of the subject being performed on. Other categories. such

as oratorical declaration. involve not only memorizing, but performing a famous speech . In impromptu speaking, the speaker is given only two short minutes of preparatory time before making their speech about a random subject. While most speeches are individual events. Speech team also has duet events. Jordan Humphrey and duet partner Stephanie Strong, pictured right were an impressive duo in such competitions. Humphrey and Strong performed in the category of Dramatic Duet Acting. Ken Kleber and Stan Yanchus were able to coach the team to numerous victories. At the Illinois High School Association Speech Individual

Events Regional Tournament in Charleston. the team placed an impressive fourth. In another tournament, the team took home a fifth place trophy. At the end of the season. outstanding performers and medal winners included Arwa Joher. Yagya Pandey, Anna Seaman. lman Sharabash. and Laura Tucker. Although these were the only members to receive individual medals. the team as a whole was phenomenal this year.

208 Define Us The end of the 20072008 school year marks the end of a point in our lives and offers us a time for reflection. Throughout the year, what decisions did you make that. when looked upon in the future, will be marked as drastic and even defining? Was it perhaps your decision to participate in the musical, where your hidden singing ability unfolded into a brilliant performance? Maybe it was your decision to take an art class, where you discovered you had a passion for painting. Whatever decision that we make individually, remember that these expenences are invaluable as you move on in your life. In leaving, we hope to create something new and great. Each of us has been presented with an opportunity to blaze our own trail. This path traveled while at Centennial High School, whether through involvement with programs, clubs, teams, organizations, and classes or through social relationships forged with other members of the Centennial community, has altered us. Hopefully each student and faculty member can look back upon the year and take something from the experience. No matter how trying or difficult the times may have been. each and every moment can be a defining point in life. As we complete this year at Centennial. we can look back and say that

220 Editors' Note

As the 2007-2008 school year comes to a close, it is time to look back at where the year went. Much of it was spent on the book you are currently reading; the work began before the class of 2007 had even graduated. The 2008 staff of twenty-two was completed when thirteen new members joined the nine remainIng 2007 staff members. We had incredibly high expectations for this book, mainly due to the fact that this was the first allcolor book in Centennial's history. In order to capitalize on this development. there was a camp held at Centennial in July to decide on a final theme . At this camp,

layouts were established for the division pages. sports, and underclass sections. The camp gave us the opportunity to get to know the new staff and to develop the final theme: Define Us. What we realized as the book slowly evolved was that the yearbook is not solely about writing eloquent words. but about evoking memories of the school year through pictures and copy. For helping us realize this, we have to give a special thankyou to our yearbook adviser. Brenda Searby. In her final year as a Centennial teacher. she devoted herself to excellence of this yearbook. She is the key reason that the Centurian is the qual-

ity yearbook it has become. This book has also relied on the commitment of every one of the staff members as well as our photographers: Ron Sullivan, Kristie Cozad, Holly Hart. and Liz Brunson. We hope we have taken their hard work and compiled it into a book of memones for the entire Centennial community. Students of Centennial. thank you for another incredible year of expenences. Remember the lessons of Centennial and the pride of being a Charger as you continue your journey to define yourself. Jacob Cocagne and Kristi Roberts
