A GREAT battle against Lisbon last night for both levels!
For 7th grade, Olivia Hirner fired off 17 service points IN A ROW! Mia Bennett laid up 7, Jaidynn Land put up 4, and a FANTASTIC all around effort from the team!
8th grade was led by Shaynee King with 7 service points. We saw streaks of great play from the whole team which means great things for the future!
A tough loss last night for volleyball, but play is improving on both levels. We'll get 'em on Thursday!

The middle school soccer team came away with a win in pk’s after a tie in regulation on Friday. We had many opportunities to put this one away. Our defense and stoppers once again did a tremendous job in keeping the opposition away from our goal. It was a great team effort in the extreme heat!
Although volleyball started the season with a loss, the Bobcats now know what to focus on in practice and will come out hard against HBR on Wednesday!
The middle school soccer team went to Leland and came away with a 3-1 win. Our defense did a great job of holding Leland to 3 shots. Our stoppers, Ella Roberts and Alexa Larson were everywhere keeping pressure on the Leland attack. Carson Harper had 2 goals and Landon McCroskey had 1.
B team also won 3-0
