Congratulations to the 8th grade volleyball team on their tough wins this weekend. They traveled to Terre Haute South and competed in the Wabash Valley Championship and came out winning 4 out of 5 games to get a 2nd place trophy! Great Job!
The cross country team did not compete this weekend but some runners went out and competed on their own. Hank Ripley, Henry Norris, Monte Kester, Liam Drewes, Avigail Grile, Nerissa, Zelhof-Arriaga, and Maggie McCormack all ran the Dollars For Scholars 5k here at Edgewood. Grile finished second overall with Zelhof-Arriaga finishing 2nd in the 13 and under age bracket and McCormack was 3rd. Hank Ripley was 7th overall but first for runners under age 13, Norris was second in that age bracket, and Kester was third. Sophia Mobley ran a 3k meet at Silver Creek and ran a huge PR of 12:14 and took 6th place overall out of 77 runners. Nice work this weekend! The cross country team will compete at home on Thursday against Martinsville.
Coach Van Meter, and the other assistant coaches, would like to thank again the 8th grade boys football team for coming out Saturday afternoon and volunteering their time handing out food and goods to the community at food pantry 279 over the weekend.
