New year, new sets and new faces. This 2018-2019 season for the men’s volleyball team is off to a rough 0-6 start, but there’s still enough time in the season to turn things around. The team is filled with talented, hardworking volleyball players that are some of the best Eldorado has to offer. They shouldn’t be counted out just yet. So far this season the boys had to face Bishop Gorman, who as everyone knows excels in just about every sport. Something new this year is the upcoming volleyball tournament held at Silverado high school. This will get the team the exposure and confidence they need to finish the season stronger.Confidence that they can use and take in to next year to continue to improve. They can use this tournament to show off how good the school can be at volleyball and allow the players to showcase their talent to everyone at the tournament. This can also potentially be a start for Eldorado to establish itself as a powerhouse in volleyball out of all the high schools in the city. One benefit of Eldorado having a slow start coming into the tournament is that they’re seen as a underdog and can shock every one by doing well in the tournament. Eldorado didn’t get off to the start they were expecting to, but they still have the rest of the season to turn things around also in the tournament coming up they can shock everyone.

For four years, Eldorado has held an annual Talent No Talent Show. Unlike a traditional talent show, this inclusive show allows students that feel as if they have no conventional talents to perform. Both students and teachers are welcomed to perform on stage. Each performer has their own act, varying from karaoke, dancing, poetry, and playing instruments. On March 8, this year’s show was held in the New Theater at 6:30pm. For those who were unable to go in person can watch the livestream at anytime. The broadcast is available on the Eldorado’s sports streaming website. It is accessible through the school’s main website. At the end of the show the top three best performances were chosen. Antonio Atkielski, 11, won first place, and a cash prize of $60 for his talent, he recited a poem. This was his second year performing; last year he had won second place. Star Greenwood, 9, and Lavonn Beal, 12, took second and third place respectively. Both took home a $40 prize. Antonio said as he performs he starts off “nervous, but then you get use to it so it's not that big of a deal.” Unlike Antonio, this was the first year Lavonn performed in the show, he said “I was nervous and I didn’t think I would win anything, but I was really proud.” For Star Greenwood, the experience was nerve racking, but amazing. She says, “I’ll definitely be performing next year.” For those who are still unconvinced on watching the Talent No Talent Show, Mr. Rendon and Ms. Carranza perform their annual duet. This year, they performed the song “Time of My Life” by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes. Though this year’s show has passed, the broadcast is still available online. Students are more than welcomed to come to next year’s show. Whether it is to be an audience member or as a performer at any skill level, the Talent No Talent Show welcomes everyone. |
