Congratulations to the Dr. George Girls’ Soccer Team. They had an undefeated season finishing first after regular season giving them home field advantage for both semi’s and finals. They had a nail biter of a game winning semi’s only 2-1 against Midsun School. Then they had a close first half in finals but pulled out a 6-1 win in the end against Nickel School. The girls were a cohesive team that worked well and communicated well together to make this possible. Way to go girls!!
The girls' soccer team had a close game tonight but clenched their spot in the finals with a 2-1 win over Midsun. We are hoping to see as many spectators as possible on Tuesday, Oct. 24th as we play at home.
The girls soccer team clenched their first place in regular season tonight and will be playing in a semi final game at home on Thursday. We are looking for a good turn out of support to cheer us on to the finals. The game is at 4:30 to 5:30 pm on our own soccer field.
Soccer:
Boy's: The boys had their best performance yet and are starting to see their practices, skills, and team building to come together. Girl's: The girls continue to be undefeated with only one game in regular season left to be played next week. Volleyball: Jr's: They are continuing to come together as a team and learning how to maintain control of the game. They were able to keep their games competitive and close in score. Sr's: They are also continuing to come together as a team. They have been having good results and will be preparing next week for their regular season as well as a tournament coming up. The weather did not make for great conditions at the beginning of the week causing 3 teams to have to reschedule their competitions, but all is set to go. Both boys and girls soccer will be playing on Tuesday, Oct. 10th now, the boys here at Dr. George and the girls at Nickle to make up for the snow cancellation that occurred Monday and Tuesday. The cross country team already had their alternate set for yesterday which was perfect weather to finish the season.
Cross Country: The team brought their season to an end with a strong finish in the junior varsity (grade 6) division earning our highest placement. Final results will be released soon. Thanks to all our runners who made it a great first season for our school. We will be hoping to build this team next year as cross country running can be a great training tool for any student hoping to try out for any team throughout the year. Soccer: As mentioned above the Monday and Tuesday games at home were cancelled and are rescheduled for next week. Boys: The Wednesday boys game continues to demonstrate our boys perseverance and effort to build our team. Girls: The Thursday girls game took us to a 2 and 0 season. The girls display good communication and demonstrate restraint in their ability to maintain a lower goal differential when needed. Thank you for your sportsmanship! Volleyball: Our teams had their first evening of play this week. Junior: The junior girls had their first games this week. They quickly bonded as a team and impressed their coach with some excellent rallies and even a few spikes! Senior: The senior team also demonstrated some quick bonding and communication on the court to bring home some wins. They have been diligently practicing their skills and displaying dedication to improving their teamwork and skill.
