Wednesday evening the Sr Girls played the Mountain Park Wolverines in a best of 3 matches for the volleyball finals. The first game was a win for the Wolverines, but then our team came back winning both the second and third games to take the title.
The girls worked hard this season and put in a lot of practice time. They demonstrated good team dynamics and were supportive of each other throughout the season making this win feel like a true team effort. Also, we want to thank the coaches for the time and effort they put into helping the team develop skills and the teamwork needed to go all the way. Great season team! On Monday night both the Jr and Sr Girls Volleyball teams were in quarter final action. The Jr girls put out a valiant effort but did not advance. The Sr Girls team advanced to semi finals also on Monday and put up a strong fight against Midsun claiming the win.
The Sr Girls are now playing Wednesday, November 22nd at Samuel Shaw with game time set to start at 5:15 pm. They are taking on the Mountain Park Wolverines. Let's wish them luck!! Please note that student spectators are only allowed if supervised by a parent. They are not allowed to show up unsupervised at another school to watch athletics. This is a CBE-wide rule. In the final week of regular season play for volleyball, both jr and sr girls played against 3 different schools. Both teams will be playing next week in quarter final action on Monday.
The jr girls will take on the Dr. Martha Cohen Chimeras at 4:30 pm at Samuel Shaw School. If they win, they would proceed directly to semi finals at 5:15 pm. The sr girls will take on the Nickle Wildcats at 4:30 pm at Midsun School. If they win, they would proceed directly to semi finals at 5:15 pm. Good Luck 67's!!!! In Wrestling, there has been a great turn out of students who learned how to do a double leg and single leg take down this week to begin to prepare them for their first quad. They have a few more weeks of practice before the first quad hosted here at Dr. George Stanley. Parents of these athletes will receive all of the paper work next week and should look for it to be coming home along with a copy of the schedule to post at home, but all dates are now posted on the Athletics Calendar Link too. The wrestling season is about to begin. Tuesday, Nov. 7th there is a sign up time in the gym at lunch but even if students miss this sign up, they are still more than welcome to just come to the first practice on Monday, November 13th and second practice on Tuesday, November 14th.
Students need to be changed for practices in shorts and a t-shirt that is long enough to be tucked into their shorts. That is also what they will wrestle in, we do not wear singlets at competitions. They will also need athletic shoes (so gym appropriate) to wrestle, they do not need special wrestling shoes. Finally, a water bottle is great too. This should be a great first year and I look forward to getting this team started at Dr. George. |
