Welcome to our "Falcon Spotlight Podcast," where we get to meet some of the inspiring teachers, staff members, coaches and students who make West Catholic High School a special place.On this episode, we feature Fr. Andrew Ayers, who grew up in Grand Rapids and attended St. Thomas. Even though he is a graduate of Catholic Central High School in Grand Rapids, he has loved his last four years as co-chaplain at West Catholic H.S.Along with presiding over Mass every other Tuesday and hearing confessions on Fridays, he is also the chaplain at three small parishes in West Michigan: St. Catherine's in Ravenna. St. Joseph in Wright and St. Francis Xavier in Conklin.In this podcast (which was recorded just before the Easter holiday), Father Andrew talks with Josh Kohane, our director of Campus Ministry. They talk about his upbringing, his love for architecture and his favorite coffee houses, in addition to what he loves about West Catholic.Falcon Spotlight - Fr. Andrew AyersHometown: Chicago (raised in Grand Rapids)Job Title: Co-chaplainHow many years at WC: 4Favorite thing about your job, and why: I love hearing confessions…I also appreciate being in a high school, because high school might not have been the easiest time for me. I have no stress here. Just the fun stuff, doing what I love to do. It's beautiful.Something you may not know about me: One of my favorite things to do is design buildings. Architecture is a hobby….I keep my house tech free. No TV. It's quite liberating.We asked him the following questions:How did you get to West Catholic? After seminary I received a letter that I was assigned to OLC in Rockford. I handed my mom the letter, and she said, ‘Oh, I see you're also at West Catholic!' I guess I didn't read the whole letter.Tell us a little bit about your faith journey: I started playing Mass in kindergarten. My family became Catholic when I was 8 years old. By high school I still wanted to be a priest. In seminary I realized everything I do as a priest is so the people of God can be benefited.Favorite memories at West Catholic? Last year I went to the Kairos retreat for juniors. It was amazing, especially to hear the gift of faith the Lord gives these kids. …I've also enjoyed getting to know the teachers. I think of my role as not just for the students, but for the whole staff. It's been wonderful seeing their faith and seeing them grow in a relationship with the Lord.West Catholic Live is a production of West Catholic High School in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Welcome to our "Falcon Spotlight Podcast," where we get to meet some of the inspiring teachers, staff members, coaches and students who make West Catholic High School a special place.On this episode, we feature senior Joop Schulten who is a member of our Priestly Discernment Group and the leader of our recent Kairos Retreat.In this podcast, Joop talks about his favorite teachers, why he doesn't want a traditional “office job” and why students should consider West Catholic High School. His biggest advice to students in helping them succeed: “Do your homework…..Reach out if you need help.”Falcon Spotlight - Joop SchultenHometown: Parnell, MI (Current Residence); Lynchburg, VA (Born)Grade: 12Favorite Subject: PhysicsFavorite teacher, and why: Mrs. Shymko, her sarcasm makes class more interestingSports/Clubs: Priestly DiscernmentFavorite Food: Any kind of red meatHobbies: Hiking/BackpackingSomething classmates might not know about you: I enjoy having lengthy conversations with close friends.Q&A: What do you love about the West Catholic community? I love how some teachers are absolute gems. My favorite memory is walking into the first day of Algebra II Junior year, then, when Mr. Lynch was doing attendance, he sighed, looked down, then said "I thought I got rid of you" (referring to me). We have a good relationship, but this one interaction is easily the funniest and most memorable.Tell us more about your favorite teacher or subjects. I enjoy the sarcasm of Mrs. Shymko. It just feels so honest and refreshing. The minor conflict is more exciting than the smooth platitudes of all the other classes I take.West Catholic Live is a production of West Catholic High School in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Welcome to our inaugural "Spotlight Podcast," where we will get to meet some of the inspiring teachers, staff members, students and those behind the scenes who make West Catholic High School a special place.On this episode we feature teacher Carolyn Hathaway, the head of our English Deartment, as well as psycology teacher. She has been at West Catholic High School for 12 years.Host John Gonzalez interviews Mrs. Hathaway about a variety of topics, including why she loves teaching, why she loves West Catholic High School and why she calls herself a "Word Nerd and Jesus Freak.Here is some of biography information she provided.WC Spotlight - Carolyn HathawayHometown: Apex, North CarolinaSubjects: English, Psychology & AP PsychologyHow many years at WC: 12 yearsFavorite food: Butternut squash soup.Favorite thing to teach, and why: Psychological terminology, because it applies to everyone.You might not know: She has been hearing impaired since a child.A few more things about me....."I grew up in a small town in North Carolina. When I was a little girl, I would set up all my dolls in chairs or on the floor and I would use my older sister's grammar textbook to teach my dolls grammar. I read all the time… the dictionary, encyclopedia, any novel I could get my hands on. I consider myself a Word Nerd and a Jesus Freak. My dad was a devout Catholic, which at that time in the southern U.S., made us a bit of a minority. His quiet sharing of his faith life and prayer habits made an indelible impression on me, for which I am so grateful.""My husband and I have 5 children, all of whom have been educated at West Catholic. Our youngest, Gianna, graduates this year. My career goal was always to be a wife and mother, and I loved being at home while our children were young. As they all began to get older, I returned to school at Aquinas to earn my Master's degree in Education, as I had earned my bachelor's degrees in English and psychology before motherhood.""I was working as a parapro at St. Thomas (an excellent school, by the way), and I had stopped in to Adoration for an hour at West Catholic. When I emerged from the chapel, Ms. Hoodhood flagged me down from the far end of the hall. She knew I had recently completed my studies in Education at Aquinas, and she had a long term substitute teaching position coming open in her department, which was English, of course. I was ecstatic to be considered for the position. From the first day, I loved everything about teaching at West Catholic."West Catholic Live is a production of West Catholic High School in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The critter was initially spotted going up and down steps in a section of seats near the tunnel to the Browns locker room. Fans kept their distance from the skunk, which searched the aisles and under seats for food before hiding under a step.

This is the way things go at the top of college football’s food chain. If you can’t win the most important game on your schedule, there will be questions about whether you are the right man for the job. For the second straight season, Harbaugh’s Michigan team pummeled Day and Ohio State. Day is 45-5 at Ohio State as Urban Meyer’s replacement, but 1-2 against Michigan. It was just last year when Harbaugh couldn’t win the big one. Not anymore. Now he was the Wolverines on the verge of a second straight College Football Playoff. NCAAFB – AP Top 25: Michigan up to No. 2 behind top-ranked Georgia Michigan moved up to No. 2 in The Associated Press college football poll, with TCU at No. 3 and Southern California at No. 4 behind top-ranked Georgia after four top-10 teams lost on the final day of regular-season games. The Bulldogs are No. 1 for the eighth straight week and 11th time this season in the AP Top 25. Georgia received 58 first-place votes and Michigan received the other five.

Nebraska has had six straight losing seasons and is more than 20 years removed from its 1990s heyday. Rhule took over struggling programs at Temple and Baylor and built them into conference contenders in three years. He was 11-27 with Carolina before getting fired after a 1-4 start.

The Ducks led 29-12 when Rogers scored the opening basket of the second quarter but the Spartans slowly came back behind Kamaria McDaniel, who had 28 points. McDaniel hit a 3-pointer and Matilda Ekh had a steal and layup and Michigan State tied the game with 7:17 to play. That’s when Rogers, who had a career-high five 3-pointers, scored from distance, the first coming after a timeout and the Ducks regained control. Kyei scored 15 points and grabbed 16 rebounds. (22) Michigan 84, (21) Baylor 75 – Michigan women beat Baylor for Gulf Coast Showcase title Emily Kiser scored 26 points on 10-of-13 shooting and grabbed 13 rebounds, Laila Phelia added 20 points and Michigan scored the final 11 points to beat No. 21 Baylor 84-75 in the championship game of the Gulf Coast Showcase.

No paramedics were on site to tend to an injured Auburn player in the preceding game. Auburn freshman Kharyssa Richardson fell hard to the floor with four minutes left against Colorado State and appeared to bang her head. There was a 50-minute wait for EMT personnel to arrive to The Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip. That delayed the Indiana-Memphis games by nearly 90 minutes.

The result leaves both teams with three points after two games in Group E. Fuller took advantage of a defensive error when Japan failed to clear the ball and hit the net from 18 yards with the ball going in off the fingertips of leaping Japan goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda. The match was tactical and largely lackluster and the first half did not yield a single shot on goal. The second half was slightly better with Japan pressing throughout until Costa Rica broke through. Morocco 2, Belgium 0 – Morocco pulls off another World Cup upset, beats Belgium 2-0 Morocco pulled off another shock at the World Cup by beating Belgium 2-0 and leaving Kevin de Bruyne and the 2018 semifinalists in peril of a group-stage exit. Morocco captain Romain Saiss gave his team the lead with a barely noticeable deflection off his hip after a free kick from Abdelhamid Sabiri in the 73rd minute. Zakaria Aboukhlal then guided a shot into the roof of the net off a pass from Hakim Ziyech in stoppage time. Belgium had won its last seven group games at the World Cup. It was Morocco’s first win at a World Cup since 1998 and only its third ever. Croatia 4, Canada 1 – Croatia downs Canada 4-1 at World Cup on Kramaric’s 2 goals Andrej Kramaric scored a pair of goals and Croatia crushed Canada’s hopes of advancing at its first World Cup in 36 years with a 4-1 victory. Alphonso Davies scored Canada’s first-ever World Cup goal seconds into the match but the team’s trip to soccer’s biggest tournament will end on Thursday against Morocco. The Group F leaders beat Belgium 2-0 earlier in the day. Marko Livaja and Lovro Majer also scored for the 2018 World Cup runners-up. Spain 1, Germany 1 – FT – Germany salvages 1-1 draw against Spain at World Cup Germany forward Niclas Füllkrug salvaged a 1-1 draw against Spain at the World Cup. The Germans still need to win their last group match to have a chance of advancing to the knockout stage. The four-time champions were eliminated in the group stage four years ago in Russia. Álvaro Morata put Spain ahead in the 62nd minute and Füllkrug equalized in the 83rd. Germany will next face Costa Rica. The Costa Ricans defeated Japan 1-0 earlier in the day. Even a win may not be enough for the Germans. They are in last place in Group E and need the other result to go their way.

This is the way things go at the top of college football’s food chain. If you can’t win the most important game on your schedule, there will be questions about whether you are the right man for the job. For the second straight season, Harbaugh’s Michigan team pummeled Day and Ohio State. Day is 45-5 at Ohio State as Urban Meyer’s replacement, but 1-2 against Michigan. It was just last year when Harbaugh couldn’t win the big one. Not anymore. Now he was the Wolverines on the verge of a second straight College Football Playoff. NCAAFB – AP Top 25: Michigan up to No. 2 behind top-ranked Georgia Michigan moved up to No. 2 in The Associated Press college football poll, with TCU at No. 3 and Southern California at No. 4 behind top-ranked Georgia after four top-10 teams lost on the final day of regular-season games.

The result leaves both teams with three points after two games in Group E. Fuller took advantage of a defensive error when Japan failed to clear the ball and hit the net from 18 yards with the ball going in off the fingertips of leaping Japan goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda. The match was tactical and largely lackluster and the first half did not yield a single shot on goal. The second half was slightly better with Japan pressing throughout until Costa Rica broke through.

The result leaves both teams with three points after two games in Group E. Fuller took advantage of a defensive error when Japan failed to clear the ball and hit the net from 18 yards with the ball going in off the fingertips of leaping Japan goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda. The match was tactical and largely lackluster and the first half did not yield a single shot on goal. The second half was slightly better with Japan pressing throughout until Costa Rica broke through. Morocco 2, Belgium 0 – Morocco pulls off another World Cup upset, beats Belgium 2-0 Morocco pulled off another shock at the World Cup by beating Belgium 2-0 and leaving Kevin de Bruyne and the 2018 semifinalists in peril of a group-stage exit. Morocco captain Romain Saiss gave his team the lead with a barely noticeable deflection off his hip after a free kick from Abdelhamid Sabiri in the 73rd minute. Zakaria Aboukhlal then guided a shot into the roof of the net off a pass from Hakim Ziyech in stoppage time. Belgium had won its last seven group games at the World Cup. It was Morocco’s first win at a World Cup since 1998 and only its third ever. Croatia 4, Canada 1 – Croatia downs Canada 4-1 at World Cup on Kramaric’s 2 goals Andrej Kramaric scored a pair of goals and Croatia crushed Canada’s hopes of advancing at its first World Cup in 36 years with a 4-1 victory.

Spain 1, Germany 1 – FT – Germany salvages 1-1 draw against Spain at World Cup Germany forward Niclas Füllkrug salvaged a 1-1 draw against Spain at the World Cup.

Álvaro Morata put Spain ahead in the 62nd minute and Füllkrug equalized in the 83rd. Germany will next face Costa Rica. The Costa Ricans defeated Japan 1-0 earlier in the day.

The critter was initially spotted going up and down steps in a section of seats near the tunnel to the Browns locker room. Fans kept their distance from the skunk, which searched the aisles and under seats for food before hiding under a step. A security guard placed a box over the animal, which wasn’t harmed and eventually worked itself free after the Browns rallied to beat the Bucs 23-17 in overtime for just their fourth win in 11 games.

This is the way things go at the top of college football’s food chain. If you can’t win the most important game on your schedule, there will be questions about whether you are the right man for the job. For the second straight season, Harbaugh’s Michigan team pummeled Day and Ohio State. Day is 45-5 at Ohio State as Urban Meyer’s replacement, but 1-2 against Michigan. It was just last year when Harbaugh couldn’t win the big one. Not anymore. Now he was the Wolverines on the verge of a second straight College Football Playoff. NCAAFB – AP Top 25: Michigan up to No. 2 behind top-ranked Georgia Michigan moved up to No. 2 in The Associated Press college football poll, with TCU at No. 3 and Southern California at No. 4 behind top-ranked Georgia after four top-10 teams lost on the final day of regular-season games. The Bulldogs are No. 1 for the eighth straight week and 11th time this season in the AP Top 25. Georgia received 58 first-place votes and Michigan received the other five. The Wolverines reached a season-high No. 2 after beating Ohio State, which dropped the Buckeyes three spots to No. 5.

The Badgers have hired Fickell to take over their football program after his successful run with the Bearcats.

The former Ohio State defensive lineman went 6-7 as the Buckeyes’ interim coach in 2011. The 49-year-old Fickell takes over for interim coach and former Badgers star player Jim Leonhard. Leonhard had taken over after Paul Chryst’s Oct. 2 firing. NCAAFB – Nebraska signs Matt Rhule to 8-year deal as football coach Nebraska has signed Matt Rhule to an eight-year contract to be the Cornhuskers’ next football coach. The school said Rhule would be introduced at a Monday news conference and terms of the contract would be announced then. The 47-year-old Rhule has been out of work for less than two months since getting fired by the Carolina Panthers. Nebraska has had six straight losing seasons and is more than 20 years removed from its 1990s heyday. Rhule took over struggling programs at Temple and Baylor and built them into conference contenders in three years. He was 11-27 with Carolina before getting fired after a 1-4 start.

The Ducks led 29-12 when Rogers scored the opening basket of the second quarter but the Spartans slowly came back behind Kamaria McDaniel, who had 28 points. McDaniel hit a 3-pointer and Matilda Ekh had a steal and layup and Michigan State tied the game with 7:17 to play. That’s when Rogers, who had a career-high five 3-pointers, scored from distance, the first coming after a timeout and the Ducks regained control. Kyei scored 15 points and grabbed 16 rebounds.

NCAAWBKB – Indiana coach says Vegas tourney set back women’s basketball Indiana women’s basketball coach Teri Moren says she considered not playing Memphis on Saturday night in the Las Vegas Invitational. No paramedics were on site to tend to an injured Auburn player in the preceding game. Auburn freshman Kharyssa Richardson fell hard to the floor with four minutes left against Colorado State and appeared to bang her head. There was a 50-minute wait for EMT personnel to arrive to The Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip. That delayed the Indiana-Memphis games by nearly 90 minutes.
