Tis the season because basketball is back. Hastings College Basketball to be exact. Both Bronco teams have new fresh talent and some old faces. Both basketball teams have started out the season strong and hungry.

For the Hastings College Women’s Basketball, the girls are ranked number 14th and have a record of 10-2. The Lady Broncos are young but an experienced team. With return Senior, Shanelle Farmer back on the court, the broncos have the leadership they needed back. Farmer blew out her knee last year as a junior. Now she gets to play her senior year and also alongside her sister, Freshman, Shandra Farmer.

The Broncos are now 4-1 in GPAC play as of December 3rd and ranked 3rd in the GPAC. Looking more in depth of the team, the broncos are skilled in defense by causing the opponents having more than 15 turnovers a game, and shooting 69 percent in games. Broncos are lead with two freshman point guards Emma Grenfell and Shandra Farmer with returner guards Sophomore, MacKenzie Willicott and Junior, Holly Hild. For Hastings bigs they have returners, Junior Jordan Johnson who is more of a shooting guard, Junior Rachel Jelden and Senior Shanelle Farmer.

The Broncos Men’s Basketball team is now 6-5 on the season since December 3rd. The men’s team was not ranked high in the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) in the preseason polls. The guys took that to heart and now proving that they do not belong down in the lower ranks. Since December, they are 3-1 in conference play and ranked 3rd in the GPAC. The Broncos are lead by seniors; #11 Trey Moore, #13 Rich Williams, and #51 Esteban Lopez. Moore is leading the team in points by averaging 15.30 a game. In the last game against the Dordt Defenders, he tallied up 20 points.

The men’s basketball team is very talented. Other key contributors include: Junior, Connor Musiel; Freshman, Bart Hiscock; Junior, Jake Hansen; Junior, Drew Callaghan, and Junior, Kevin Harkins. Already this season, the Broncos have beaten the number four team and beat University Nebraska-Kearney (Division II) school.

Both Bronco teams are hungry. Do not sleep on the Broncos this year. They are leaving everything on the court every game.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
