Many teens have a MySpace–an account with the popular social networking website–and spend anywhere from five minutes to three or more hours online. There is a big age range of people who have a MySpace, from six years of age to adults. Some people even make MySpace accounts for their pets! I have always wondered why some people are so addicted. So I interviewed some people that have a MySpace account.

Last week the Eagles traveled down the bayou to Houma to play the H. L. Bourgeois Braves. The Braves are a powerhouse in 5A football. They are ranked thirteenth in class 5A in the state of Louisiana. They are a very good football team and they are well coached. The Braves are predicted to have a wonderful year in football. This is good news for the town of Houma. The Eagles went into this game with wins over Clinton High School in the pre-season scrimmage and cross-town rival Plaquemine High School in the jamboree. This was the first time that any St. John football team has ever played against a 5A school.

Prayer
A prayer is something that comes from the heart. Prayers are things that people say every day and night. A prayer is a type of reflection that we do to tell God what is going on in our lives. It’s something that we do to get our problems out to God and just tell Him how we feel. Prayers help you to get out all that you need so that you can be more like Christ and walk in the good path towards Heaven.
