Can argue with great effort!

Tonight the Boys Soccer team ended their 2010 season with a very intense 1-0 loss to the undefeated Lakewood Park Christian team.  The lone goal was scored after 48 minutes of scoreless  soccer. It was scored by the newly crowned Indiana Career Soccer Goal Leader, Austin Altimus. Congrats on a great career Austin.   Garrett's own Karsten Cooper held Austin scoreless for those 48  minutes with the help of some great goalkeeping and defense by the Railroader team. I could not be more proud of a Garrett team. This team showed a lot of class and played with guts and heart all night long. Austin was forced to earn his goal from a good team.  I got so many compliments about how our kids played and the class they showed after Austin scored his record setting goal.  Coach Klopfenstein, Coach Cordes and Coach Degitz did a great job with this young team this fall.

While I was at the "Pitch" with the Boys Soccer team, the Lady Railroader Volleyball team played the semifinal match of the ACAC Volleyball Tournament. The VB team won the first game by a score of 25-20. They battled the Lady Lions but lost the second game of the best of 3 by a score of 25-23. So, the final match would determine who made it to the championship game. Coach Richardson team cam up short and lost 25-20.  Principal Matt Smith said we battled all night and were in attack mode from the first point to the last.  We have one more tournament this weekend at Whitko, two games next week and then we will be ready for IHSAA Tournament Play. I can't wait to see how far we can go!  Good Luck Coach and all the Lady Railroader VB team.
