Chosen for this week’s Staff Spotlight is Miss Carrie Musci. This is currently Miss Musci’s first year in Brooklyn but her ninth year in teaching third grade, overall. Previous to working here, she taught in the Akron Public City School District. She loves being outside, traveling, going to concerts, and exercising. Overall, she just tries to enjoy life as much as possible. A fun fact about Miss Musci is that she is Italian and has been to Italy four times.
Q: Out of all of the roles in Brooklyn, why did you choose to become a third-grade teacher?
A: “I like the community aspect of Brooklyn. I was drawn to it when I was applying, and when I met Dr. Caleris, he was just so welcoming, and everyone here is just so friendly. Honestly, I love third grade, so when I saw that there was a third grade position open, I was sold.”
Q: What is one of your favorite aspects about Brooklyn?
A: “Again, the community. I love how friendly everyone is. The parents are so kind towards me and just so appreciative of me, which I love.”
Q: What three words would your peers and/or students describe you with?
A: “They would say I am Entertaining, Caring, and Charismatic.”
Q: What strategies do you use to keep kids focused in class?
A: “I like to make all of my lessons super-engaging so that the students feel like they are a part of the lesson. I do not want learning to be a chore for them, so I like to make it as fun and interactive as possible.”
Q: Favorite book?
A: “The Great Gatsby.”
Q: Favorite type of pizza?
A: “I love a good veggie pizza.”
Q: Favorite Summer activity?
A: “Traveling!”
Q: What is your biggest pet peeve?
A: “Being late is probably my biggest pet peeve because I cannot stand when I am late or when other people are late.”
Thank you for letting us interview you, Miss Musci. We wish you all of the best for the rest of this school year. Enjoy your Summer and upcoming travel schedule. By the way, Italy is gorgeous!
The Cleveland Guardians’ season is in full-swing, and they are red hot out of the gates. After playing their first nine games on the road and winning seven of them, it seems like they are doing just fine with their new manager, Stephen Vogt.
While most national writers and baseball “experts” were not high on the Guardians, the Wahoo Warriors are turning heads with their promising start.
The Guardians began their season in Oakland and took three out of four games in the opening series. They then traveled North to Seattle and took two out of three games against the Mariners, a team who many believe is World Series caliber. Lastly, they wrapped up their road trip in Minnesota and took both games against their division rival, the Twins.
Coming home for the home opener after the Solar Eclipse, the Guards beat the White Sox in game one and also took last night’s series finale from the White Sox, which included a Bo Naylor walkoff in the tenth inning.
Currently, the Guardians sport a 9-3 record in this new campaign.
However, news broke last weekend that their ace, Shane Bieber, will undergo surgery to repair his pitching elbow, which will sideline him for the remainder of the season. This is a huge blow to the Guardians starting rotation, as the ace began the season with back-to-back, six-inning shutout performances against Oakland and Seattle. What also stings is that Bieber is in the final year of his contract.
Another injury the rotation suffered was second-year pitcher Gavin Williams, who was placed on the IL after he felt elbow discomfort during Spring Training. However, he will likely be back in rehab in the coming weeks and back with the team in early-mid May.
Going back to the home opener last Monday, Guardians fans saw history at Progressive Field as the path of totality for the Solar Eclipse came through shortly after 3:00 p.m.
As for the game itself, the home team won in front of a sold-out crowd led by Triston McKenzie’s amazing pitching performance and Jose Ramirez’s fifth inning, two-run blast.
In yesterday’s victory over the White Sox, the Naylor brothers made history in the fourth inning by becoming the fourth brother duo to hit home runs in the same inning. Not to mention, this also occurred on National Siblings Day.
Overall, the team has seen strong performances early on from their heavy hitters Steven Kwan, Josh Naylor, and Jose Ramirez. Kwan is hitting .386 with 2 HRs and 5 RBIs, Naylor is hitting .333 with 3 HRs and 9 RBIs, and Ramirez is hitting .268 with 2 HRs and 10 RBIs. Not to mention, the bullpen is ranked number one in Major League Baseball.
The Guardians are faced with a tall task this weekend, as the 10-3 New York Yankees (otherwise known as the Evil Empire) come to town for a three-game, weekend series. This series will show what the Guardians are made of, as the Yankees are stacked from top to bottom.
Baseball is a long season, and 162 games is a marathon; however, the Guardians could not have started off the season better, and this gives us loyal fans a lot of optimism going forward.

Chosen for this week’s second senior spotlight is Tyler Morgan. Tyler is intelligent, well-mannered, and ambitious. Tyler keeps himself busy with Hurricanes sports such as soccer, hockey, and baseball. In his free time, he enjoys playing video games with his friends as well as hanging out with his family.
Q: What are your plans after high school?
A: “I am attending Ohio University next Fall and plan to major in Sports Management and Finance.”
Q: What has been the highlight of your senior year?
A: “The highlight of my senior year was making All-CVC 2nd team in soccer. I put in a lot of work into a sport that I thought I’d never play, and it made me really happy to see some recognition.”
Q: When you graduate from Brooklyn High School, what will you be remembered for most?
A: “I hope that I will be remembered for being able to do it all. I played four different sports and stayed at the top of my class academically.”
Q: What would you like colleges to know about you that might not be obvious when looking at your application/transcripts?
A: “I think colleges and everyone else should know that I can make friends with anyone. I always want to find a way to connect with someone, and I will always try to make that happen.”
Q: If you had a song play every time you walked into a room, what would it be?
A: “‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’ by Metallica. It’s a song that I like, and it has a long intro that sounds somewhat intimidating. I think it would be funny to come off as intimidating, and then you see me and realize that I am not intimidating whatsoever.”
Q: What sets you apart from other peers in your class?
A: “I think it has to be my ability to adapt. Each sport season had a different schedule and practice times, and I quickly found my place playing each of them. Most people see a dip in energy or productivity in different situations, but I just don’t.”
Q: If you could have any seasonal tickets for any sports team, what team would it be?
A: “I would pick the Cleveland Guardians. I love watching baseball, and they’re my favorite team. I don’t get to see them play enough.”
Q: What is your favorite elementary school memory?
A: “My favorite memory from elementary school is probably the first time I played football at recess. It’s when my love for sports first started, and it’s when I started to connect with my best friends who I still have today.”
Q: If you could change one school rule, what would it be?
A: “I think that for Brooklyn, specifically, juniors and seniors who have double study halls in the morning or afternoon shouldn’t have to go to both of them.”
Q: Out of your entire school career, what teacher has been the biggest inspiration and/or influence to you?
A: “Probably Mr. Sedlacek. He’s been my teacher and coach and is a big reason I want to coach at some point. He’s always happy to answer my very specific and over-the-top questions about baseball or whatever else is on my mind. He made me appreciate all of the small details.”
Thank you for your time, Tyler. Enjoy the rest of your senior year, and good luck as a future Ohio Bobcat.
Chosen for this week’s first senior spotlight is Joe Hurguy. Joe is easy-going, humorous, and understanding. Some of his hobbies include working out at the gym, riding his bike, and enjoying nature.
Q: What are your plans after graduation?
A: “My plan after graduation is to pursue a career in the HVAC industry and eventually go to acting school to become an actor.”
Q: If you could have lunch with any influencer, who would it be?
A: “If I could have lunch with anyone, it would be J. Cole because I think he is a very humble and down-to-earth person.”
Q: What do you think is the biggest problem with teenagers today?
A: “I think the biggest problem with teenagers nowadays is that too many kids have access to things like nicotine or vapes.”
Q: What is one thing that you want to complete in high school before you graduate?
A: “One thing I want to complete before graduating high school is buying my own car.”
Q: Who is your hero?
A: “My hero is my mom because she was my only parent and still put everything before herself; she is very motivational and inspirational.”
Q: If you could add any class to the classes we have here at Brooklyn, what class would it be?
A: “I would add a cooking class in Brooklyn because kids can’t cook food.”
Q: What is your favorite motto or quote, who said it, and why is it your favorite?
A: “My favorite quote is from a video game called God of War, and it is ‘To grieve deeply is to love fully,’by Faye.”
Q: What is the most difficult decision that you have had to make?
A: “The most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do was put down my childhood dog and stay with her in her final moments.”
Q: What scares you the most about the future?
A: “The thing that scares me the most about the future is failing.”
Q: Out of your entire school career, what teacher has been the biggest inspiration and/or influence to you?
A: “I would say Mr. Tanski because he always had a smile on his face and was always hopeful, even though he was secretly going through a lot in his personal life.”
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions, Joe. We believe in your successful future in HVAC and on the stage.
Welcome back, Brooklyn. We trust that you enjoyed your Spring break and had the opportunity to relax, recharge the batteries, and sprinkle in a little fun, too.
For the start of this week, we would like to commemorate one of the most exciting weekends in Cleveland history. With the Women’s Final Four, the groundbreaking views of the Solar Eclipse, and the Guardians Home Opener, it is safe to say that Cleveland truly rocked.
First off, Cleveland hosted the much anticipated NCAA Women’s Final Four, welcoming in South Carolina, Iowa, Connecticut, and North Carolina State. Many notable players came to town including Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers, and Kamillia Cardoso. After advancing to the championship, streets were packed with fans and celebrities to watch the final matchup between Iowa and South Carolina. The game was nothing short of incredible, and the Gamecocks were able to get past Clark and the Hawkeyes to complete their undefeated season.
Next, a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon, yesterday, the city of Cleveland lied within the path of totality for the Solar Eclipse, allowing four minutes of viewing as the moon directly crossed over the sun, beginning around 3:13 in the afternoon. Over 400,000 people from outside of Ohio flew into Cleveland to watch this amazing event. Simply, all eyes were on Cleveland and in the sky.
There were many sites holding historic celebrations including the Natural History Museum, NASA Glenn Research Center, Great Lakes Science Center, Rocket Mortgage Field House, and Progressive Field.
What an amazing experience!
The Solar Eclipse was not the only exciting event that happened yesterday in Cleveland. Progressive Field was sold out for the Guardians Home Opener. Our hometown baseball team came out victorious with a win against the Chicago White Sox, 4-0. The win improved the team’s record to 8-2, the best record in Major League Baseball.
In a span of four days, Cleveland became the epicenter of events, and it is awesome that we were all, in some capacity, a part of it.
Well done, Cleveland!

This first weekend of March Madness has brought us some wild finishes, historic performances, crazy comebacks, and most of all, some major upsets. Surprisingly, our picks were not nearly as bad as last year.
Below is a quick recap on how the first weekend for each region unfolded.
Starting with the East Region, #1 Connecticut, #2 Iowa State, and #3 Illinois all got first round victories, but #4 Auburn was the team whose season came to a harsh ending as #13 Yale upset the Tigers in a wild game, 78-76. There was another upset in this region as #11 Duquesne, with their first appearance in the big dance since 1977, defeated #6 BYU. #5 San Diego State, #7 Washington State, and #9 Northwestern each punched their ticket into the second round. The second round saw the top 3 teams still dominating this region as they all moved onto the Sweet 16. The last team to make the Sweet 16 would be #5 San Diego State as they ended Yale’s Cinderella story with a commanding 85-57 victory.
The matchups are set as #1 Connecticut will face #5 San Diego State, and #2 Iowa State will take on #3 Illinois.
In the West Region, the top 4 seeds (North Carolina, Arizona, Baylor, Alabama) each got a first round victory, and the only upset in the first round for this region was #12 Grand Canyon knocking off #5 Saint Mary’s, who only lost once since the end of December. #6 Clemson, #7 Dayton, and #9 Michigan State also made it into the second round. However, it was #3 Baylor who got upset in the second round by Clemson. Clemson will join #1 North Carolina, #2 Arizona and #4 Alabama in the Sweet 16.
The matchups will be #1 North Carolina facing #4 Alabama and #2 Arizona facing #6 Clemson.
In the South Region, this was the region where a lot of the upsets occurred. #12 James Madison, who finished the season with 31 wins, took down #5 Wisconsin. #11 NC State cruised past #6 Texas Tech, and the biggest upset of all, #14 Oakland defeated #3 Kentucky (a big shocker with John Calapari losing early again), led by a historic performance by Jack Gohlke, who made 10 threes in his first ever tournament game. The other teams earning victories in this region were #1 Houston, #2 Marquette, #4 Duke, #9 Texas A&M, and #10 Colorado. In the second round, Marquette survived past #10 Colorado, #11 NC State ended Oakland’s historic run, and #4 Duke destroyed #12 James Madison.
The craziest game by far was #1 Houston and #9 Texas A&M. The Aggies trailed by 10 points with 1:24 left and were able to claw their way back, including a game-tying three at the buzzer to send the game into overtime. However, the top-seeded Cougars were able to survive a collapse in overtime, defeating the Aggies, 100-95. In this game, Houston had four starters foul out, while Texas A&M had two.
The matchups will be #1 Houston vs. #4 Duke and #2 Marquette vs. #11 NC State.
Lastly is the Midwest Region, which had a lot of potential upsets. However, the only upset that occurred in this region was the Pac-12 champions, #11 Oregon taking down #6 South Carolina in commanding fashion. The top five seeds of Purdue, Tennessee, Creighton, Kansas, and Gonzaga were able to advance. #7 Texas and #8 Utah State also earned victories in the first round. The second round saw #1 Purdue and #5 Gonzaga earning blow-out victories. The other two games were more competitive with #2 Tennessee defeating #7 Texas by four and #3 Creighton coming from behind to defeat #11 Oregon in double overtime.
The matchups are set as #1 Purdue faces #5 Gonzaga, and #2 Tennessee will face #3 Creighton.
Now, The Return of the Eye’s sports staff will make their final four predictions to see who heads to Phoenix, Arizona.

Welcome to the end of March. Spring Break is days away, and there is no doubt that everyone needs a little time away to have some fun and to recharge the batteries for the final stretch run.
So, let us get right into what is currently happening at BHS.
Last week, a gigantic technology mural was completed after months of hard work. Students involved in this project were Delaney Berk, Emily Chicharro, and Ankita Monger.
After conducting some research, the group stated that they wanted this mural to be computer-based and technology-themed. Working off of each others’ strengths, they developed a plan back in September and went right to work on this new mural. For them, though, the best part of this project, outside of its completion, was that these three are all friends, so working on this was fun as they were able to complete it together.
Girls, great job on this beautiful project!
In other news, this week is the OST for English Language Arts. We encourage everyone to be respectful to those testing. To the test-takers, make sure you get to school on time with a charged Chromebook. Be confident and do your best.
Next, come support the music department on March 27 at 7:00 p.m. for the annual Jazz Festival Concert.
Speaking of music, let us wish all of the music students a fun and safe trip as they travel to New York City over Spring Break. They will be visiting the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, will have dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe, and will see Hamilton on Broadway.
A few days ago, the eighth grade robotics team attended a robotics competition at the Polaris Career Center. After hours of competing, our team finished in second place. Great job to all of the students who participated.
