Blackduck Activity Philosophy

The 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.

Drakes Athletes of the Week

Ella Larson & James Pearson

    Ella Larson is Blackduck High School Athlete of the Week for the Drakes girls basketball team. “Ella has stepped up and filled a role nicely this year,” said Drakes Head Coach Dan Hangaard. “Ella came from no varsity experience last year to hardly ever coming off the floor this year. Her length and quickness make her a nice point guard with a load of potential. Ella is one of the toughest kids I have coached and I love that about her. This year Ella is averaging 4 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists a game.” Pretty impressive! Congratulations Ella.
    James Pearson is the Athlete of the Week for the Drakes boys basketball team. “James has been a wonderful person to be around all year,” said Drakes Head Coach Pete Ofstedal. “He has done everything that has been asked of him throughout the season. James has the right attitude when it comes to sports. He is willing to do things he doesn't want to do for the good of the team. He also keeps a smile on his face no matter what happens and shows up ready to work hard regardless of the situation, not just when it is easy and things are going well, but when they're difficult or negative. He is very willing to sacrifice for the good of the group, a crucial trait that all players should have in any activity or sport if a team is going to be successful. He has improved greatly, particularly at being ready to shoot when the pass comes and shooting with confidence. James Pearson's attitude is an important part of our team, and we are all better off for having him with us.” Way to go, James!
