Go Railroaders!

What a great night for Garrett High School. The Lady Railroaders won another key ACAC game by defeating the Lady Raiders of Southern Wells 49-25. Jordyn Knott had a stellar game with 18 points. The tough defense held Southern Wells to just 26% shooting from the field.  The Lady Railroaders are just one victory away from capturing all the hardware in the ACAC this year.

The Boys team gave us a little excitement at the end of the game but came away from the night with another ACAC victory defeating Southern Wells 67-66. Four Railroaders were in double figures shooting for the night. The team was led by Drake Landes with 21 points. But, Andrew Johnson had a career night knocking down 16 points in the game. Andrew hit 5 of 6 from behind the three point arc and played with passion and determination.  (He might have had some inspiration from Grandpa Jack returning to the Paul Bateman gym tonight!) Quentin Fiandt had 13 points and Eric Custer had 10 points for the night. Brandon Porter had 10 of the teams 19 assists. What a great stat for a team who is learning to play together as a team as the season progresses.

The Garrett Community did a great job tonight coming out to support St. Martins Health Clinic. The Spaghetti Dinner, Bake Sale, and fundraising effort was a great success. We are so proud of Tammy Stafford and what she has and her volunteer staff have done to serve our community.

The season continues next week with the New Haven make up game (boys) to be played in Garrett this coming Tuesday night. The Boys will host the Bluffton Tigers on Friday Night and the girls will host the Heritage Lady Patriots Saturday night. Saturday night is Senior Night where we get to honor our girls seniors and their parents.  The season is winding down. But, the excitement is building!

Cancellation and Hoopin' It up for Health Care!

The Athletic Department had a very busy day canceling tonight's Varsity and JV Basketball games with New Haven. School was cancelled this morning due to icing on secondary roads. Even though the main roads were just wet most of the day, the temperature was expected to drop and cause additional icing tonight. After consultation with the coaches and administration at New Haven and Garrett, it was decided to postpone the game tonight. Both schools will get together to find a good reschedule date and the new date will be announced soon.

The Garrett Boys will travel to South Adams on Friday night and then will host Southern Wells on Saturday night at the Bateman gym. The game Saturday Night will be a part of a Varsity/JV Boys and Girls Doubleheader.  The JV Girls and Boys games will be played at 5pm. The JV Boys will play in the Middle School gym and the JV Girls will play in the Bateman Gym. The Varsity Girls game will begin at approximately 6:30pm in the Bateman Gym and the Varsity Boys will finish the night with a projected tip-off at approximately 8pm.

We will  be raising money for St. Martins Health Clinic in Garrett on Saturday Night. A Spaghetti supper will be held starting at 4pm and concluding at 7pm or when sold out. We will also host a Bake Sale and take collections during both the Boys and Girls Varsity Games. Come out and "Hoop it up for Health Care" this Saturday Night!
