COACH'S CORNER

Hello Sports fans What a winter sports season we just had! Alumni student Allyssa Thompson was drafted number 1 in the league by Angel City, the Super Bowl was a nail-biter, four of our teams made it to postseason, and our 4th grade girls’ soccer team finished with an undefeated season

The varsity basketball team had a tough season They worked hard during practices and improved as a team as the year went on. However, luck was not on their side, losing three games on buzzer beaters. The JV Green, 6th grade, 5th grade and two 4th grade basketball teams also worked hard and improved their skills They will be ready to play next season as their last few games were their best We’ll get them next year!

The soccer season was exciting We had five teams this season In the Lower School we fielded a 4th grade team and a 5th grade team The girls impressed me with the improvements they made all season The 5th grade team played really good soccer and were competitive in every game. The 4th grade team showed great teamwork and managed to finish the season with a 6-0 record Congratulations, team!

In middle school we had four out of the six teams make the playoffs - three soccer teams and one basketball team. The boys’ Varsity team ended with two big wins to hurl them into the playoffs. The girls’ teams, Varsity and Junior Varsity, played well throughout the season The Varsity team earned a number 1 seed and the JV entered the playoffs with the number 4 seed The boys’ JV Blue team also had some ups and downs and earned a third seed in the playoffs

The JV soccer and basketball teams played hard and had great games They both got knocked out in the semi-finals Great season and congratulations!

The boys’ Varsity team made the finals and played a hard fought game against Buckley but ended up taking league runner up Also fantastic season and congratulations!

We look forward to the spring season where we will be at new home soccer fields. We will also add a new gym location to add to our home courts to play volleyball Track will also be going on during the spring season Let's finish the year out strong with our spring sports

As always, Go Lions!
