GO PIRATES/GO GOATS!

Ashley Sams – Soccer

Ash has had a great season so far with two shutouts last week against Manson and Pateros. She played a tough game against Brewster which ended in double overtime and a shootout. Ashley had a save in the shootout which led the goats to a 3-2 win over Brewster! She has been playing with confidence and directing play on the field which has been huge for us this season. In addition to her playing, Ashley is one of the three captains this season and has been a leader and role model for the other girls on and off the field. We are thrilled with her performance so far this season, and look forward to the games to come. Go Goats! – Coach Williams

Luke Simmons – MS XC

This is Luke’s 3rd year on the middle school team and he has really stepped up as a leader this season. Luke shows up and works hard at every practice and is a great role model to his younger teammates.

We look forward to watching Luke grow as a runner in high school cross country next year! – Coach Polley

Congratulations to Nominees. Here’s what your coaches had to say about your hard work and extra effort.

Erin Hatherell – Cheer

Erin came into the season brand new, but eager to learn. She expressed early on that she wanted to be a flyer for a stunting group but had no knowledge of what that would entail. Rather than giving up when the first stunt group wasn’t successful, she jumped right in with a new group, and then a third group. No matter how many times she would “fall” she would say “let’s try it again!”. She proved what hard work can accomplish as her stunt group performed perfectly at Friday’s game! – Coach Hanson

Xitlali Cruz – Volleyball

She was 100% serving in the Sun Dome tournament. She also had 40 assists and 15 digs. Xitlali played great defensively and had some amazing saves. – Coach Jen Rainville

Skyler Gordon – Football

Skyler compiled 2 sacks, was involved in 10 tackles, and 3 hit hurries on defense. Skyler gave up 0 sacks on offense and made crucial blocks on both scoring TD’s. Skyler was our leader of the essentials on defense and offense. He played with great effort and enthusiasm all night, he won many one on one battles, and he was a discipline player all night as well. – Coach Domser
