Blackduck Activity PhilosophyThe educational program at Blackduck Public School will provide the opportunity and the incentive for each student athlete to develop mentally, physically, morally and socially to the fullest of his/her abilities with gender equity. The educational programs shall be directed toward the welfare and the best interest of the student athletes.
Blackduck High School is of the belief that athletics and other extracurricular activities are an integral part of the educational system. It is believed that extracurricular activities contribute to the educational process of developing well-rounded individuals and young adults. Through the combined support and efforts of the community, school district and staff, students are given the opportunity to participate in the extracurricular programs both as spectators and competitors. These educational experiences allow students to benefit in such areas of development as: interpersonal relationships, group interaction and cooperation, self concept and character, goal setting and values, leadership initiative, self discipline, loyalty, sportsmanship, physical skills and growth, and the personal pride and satisfaction of participation and competition. Since life demands many of the same qualities that are developed through athletics and other extracurricular activities, this opportunity will assist in preparing our students to meet life's challenges as contributing, worthwhile citizens.

Sophomores Chloe Cook and Nicholas Swedberg are this week’s Drakes Athletes of the Week.
“Chloe has been known for her effort on the court and that has continued this year,” said Drakes Head Coach for girls basketball, Dan Hangaard. “Chloe has been a spark for our team and is always the hardest worker on the floor. She has become a leader on the defensive end, averaging 3 steals and 4 deflections a game. Chloe has worked had to improve her offensive game and it has paid off so that she is averaging 5+ points a game. We are so proud of the work Chloe has put in this season.”
“Nick always shows up to practice on time and ready to go,” said boys basketball Head Coach Pete Ofstedal. “He works his butt off at all things and has shown great improvement throughout the course of the season so far. Nick is very coachable, listens when being coached, and tries to make the adjustment on the court. He’s also tried hard to learn multiple roles on the team for the good of the team. Nick has not complained at all this year, but instead has taken every challenge given to him and risen to that challenge to the best of his ability.”
