New Wilson Computer Scientists Got Game!

Seven Wilson teams competed against over 300 students from around the state in the Oregon Game Project Challenge at Western Oregon University, with two Trojan teams winning awards for Programming and Game Design. This year's theme was scarcity. Teams are judged on a variety of aspects of the software and game design process. Students had a chance to have their work evaluated by professional software engineers, game developers and college students. We had an excellent showing at the event with all of our teams receiving high marks for the quality of their work and presentation skills.

The Game Design Award went to the team of Henry Pigg, Oscar Sloop, Andrew Harker and Zoe Bennett. Their game, Boinga, is a mobile game where you draw lines to bounce a ball as far as you can before you run out of ink. Available in the Apple App Store now!

The Programming Award went to the team of John Nguyen, Max Finke, Louis Rizzo and Karsten Dinsmore. Their game, Corp Inc LLC, is a multiplayer strategy game played over a local network. Players manage the needs of employees as they build their corporation.

New Trojan Student-Athletes of the Month

Junior Liban Dahir, Track & Field: Here is what teachers had to say about Liban: Liban Dahir is a super dedicated student who will do anything needed to succeed academically. Plus, he is fast on the track. He is kind and patient and has a powerful life story of perseverance and dignity through hardship. He may be less likely than some other students at Wilson to be noticed, but he is deserving of this award. Liban is a model citizen who genuinely cares for the people around him and it shows how he conducts himself at Wilson High School.

Junior Deva Paris, Women's Tennis: Here is what teachers had to say about Deva: Deva Paris is an exceptionally well-rounded student/athlete. In addition to being a great Wilson High School student body leader, she is also a very hard-working and very, very successful student. Deva asks many insightful questions in AP Calculus class that not only enhance the learning for everyone else, but also often cause me to think more deeply about a topic. And I can always count on Deva to give me her very best effort every single day. She has been an exceptional student in AP Psych. Not only does she seek out opportunities to strengthen her skills she also helps strengthen those around her.

New Student-Athletes of the Week, May 13-17

Freshmen Nolan Malcomson, Track & Field: Here is what the coaches had to say about Nolan: Nolan qualified for all four of his events for the State Meet, 4x100, 110 hurdles, 300 hurdles, and 4x400. Still trying to find the last time Wilson had a fourevent qualifier. Outstanding kid with a tremendous future ahead.

Senior Olivia Worley, Track & Field: Here is what the coaches had to say about Olivia: Olivia competed and scored big points for her team in the 4 X 100, 100 hurdles, 300 hurdles, and the 4 x 400. We are very excited to watch her compete next weekend at the State Track Meet. She is the heart of our program.

Women's Tennis Competes at State Tournament

The doubles team of Deva Paris and Rachel Weirnick played strong at States last week--after losing a tough three games in a first-round match against Sheldon they rallied to win half the remaining games, with a final score of 6-3, 7-6.

At last year's state tournament, Eryn Fiabane was the only singles player to make it to the round of 16 before losing in three sets to Roseburg. The PIL was stronger this year and so was Eryn. She finished 4th this year and, along the way, beat the #6 and #3 seeded players.
