This is the big weekend for the GHS Athletic Department. We can always use more Adult workers. We need them particularly for Thursday and Friday afternoon 2:30-6:00 and also Saturday morning from 7:30-11:30.
All Workers are to report to the "Red Barn" located just to the East of the Main entrance to the Auburn Auction Park on County Road 11A. Please give yourself plenty of time due to the heavy traffic in the area. You can avoid the main traffic congestion on CR 11 A if you come to the meeting place from the East.
Thank You in advance for all your help. If you haven't signed up with a Coach, you can still come out to work.

Tuesday Scoreboard
Boys Soccer remained undefeated in the ACAC by defeating South Adams 6-0 tonight in Garrett. This sets up a big show down with Leo on September 12th for what will more than likely be the Conference Championship. That game will be in Garrett. Put it on your schedule now and come out to support the Railroader Soccer team.
The Girls Soccer team was defeated tonight by the Lady Hornets of Angola. The team has been struggling this year. But, they are also overwhelmed with key injuries. They are working hard and need to keep their heads up. Better days are ahead!
Waiting for Volleyball score vs Carroll. (Another powerhouse volleyball program!)

Storming the Field in Style!
Rivalries can be ugly. Before our game last night I was talking the officiating crew about their experience with rivalries. They had some horror stories about fights and ugly games. NOT IN OUR HOUSE! Last night was a perfect example for the rest of the world how a rivalry can be positive.
Last night was one of the hardest hitting, well fought Football game, I have ever been to. We did have one unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Dekalb. Not to give an excuse, but it came at a time they were getting really frustrated. It was a battle in the trenches but it was a clean battle.
The best part of the night wasn't the awesome play of our line, the great catch and interception by Jamison Wisel, the 6 touchdowns and record for Todd Frickey, or the ending of a 35 year drought against the Barons. The best part of the night was the character displayed by our student section when they stormed the field. They actually waited for the traditional midfield handshake before the celebrated with our team. No one gave them instructions, not one set it up ahead of time. They did it on their own because they are awesome. Now I've committed to Sundaes for these senior girls on Tuesday. It's worth it!

Season Openers - VB - BSO!
The Boys Soccer team started the 2011-2012 Athletic season tonight hosting the Knights of East Noble High School. The game was close through the first half, but the young Railroaders were defeated by the final score of 4-1. The lone goal for the Railroaders was scored by Nathan Sliger. The Boys Travel to Lakeland on Thursday. The varsity will play at 5pm and the JV boys will play a half of soccer after the Varsity game.
The Volleyball team hosted the Lady Barons of Dekalb High School tonight in the "Warm" Bateman gym. The Railroaders led by Jordyn Knott, Katie DePew, and Laura Moynahan dominated the Barons. The Lady Railroaders swept Dekalb in 3 games. We are not sure when Garrett last defeated the Barons. It has been a long time. What a great start to the season. But, there is no rest for the VB team as they host Prairie Heights tomorrow and then travel to Churubusco on Thursday. Congrats Coach Richardson and the Lady Railroaders!

Soap Scrimmage
REMINDER:
The Varsity Football Soap Scrimmage is on Monday, August 8th at Memorial Field. BUT,
Remember, with the New Construction you must park in the Middle School parking lot and enter the VISITORS gate. You will still view the game from the Home stands. You will follow the track around to the Home Side Bleachers. This will be true for ALL REGULAR SEASON FOOTBALL GAMES. Parking will be in the middle school lot south of the middle school, east of the middle school, the PAC lot, and the lot East of the Elementary.
It is going to be inconvenient to park on Britton Street because there will not be an entrance on the North or West side of the field. The Team Gate will be open for Big Train tickets for Varsity games only, but will not sell individual game tickets. So, you will still need to walk around to the VISITORS GATE.
Yes, it is inconvenient. But it is a small price to pay during the construction of our NEW High School.
