Both teams are very young and the Boys team has had more than it's share of setbacks due to injuries. But, It looks like both teams will get there share of All-Conference honors.  Good Luck Railroader Harriers!

The Volleyball team also enters the ACAC tournament on Tuesday. The Lady Railroaders will face Bluffton in the second game of the night on Tuesday. This team has won 10 matches in a row and are ready to make some noise in this tournament and then the IHSAA Sectional in a couple of weeks.

The Boys Soccer team has one more win to tie the record of 7 wins for a Boys Soccer Team at GHS. They will have to do it in the IHSAA tournament which starts Thursday Night at 5pm. The Railroaders host the tournament and that always gives our team a great advantage. The Boys will face a very tough Lakewood Park team. But, they certainly have the ability to be able to win this sectional. We are all  proud of our program and look forward to the upset on Thursday night!

The regular season action continues for the girls soccer team this week as the season gets ready for sectional play next week at Dekalb. The girls will travel to West Noble on Wednesday and then will begin preparation for the Sectional game against the Host Barons next week.

The Football team will face a very tough Leo Lion team at home on Friday night. The senior football players, cheerleaders, band, show choir, and cross country runners will be honored at the game. Good Luck to the Railroaders!

Never a Dull moment at GHS!

No GHS Athletic Events tonight! But, we have a lot going on the next several days. Tomorrow the Girls Volleyball team hosts the Angola Lady Hornets.  The Boys and Girls Soccer Teams open the ACAC Soccer tournament. The Boys play Heritage at 6pm and the Girls follow with  8pm.  The games are played at a new location this year. It is located on Adrmore Ave. in Fort Wayne. This soccer club has great fields and we are looking for a great tournament.  If you need directions to the game, contact the athletic department tomorrow!

We still have tickets for the Ball State - ACAC football games. Tickets are $8 and will be $10 at the gate on Saturday. Also, if you buy tickets now the Athletic Department gets most of the money for those PRE-SALE tickets.  This is a big event for our conference. We try to do special things for all of our sports teams. The ACAC soccer tournament, Baseball at Parkview Field, Basketball Tournament at the Memorial Coliseum are all examples. We also sponsor the Semi-State wrestling Tournament at the Coliseum and were a driving force behind naming Fort Wayne as the host for the Girls State Basketball finals.  Regardless how much work it is for the conference, we try to do what is best for the student-athletes.

Next week we start Homecoming Festivities. The Powder Puff Football game is on Wednesday night at 6pm followed by the Bon Fire and Snake Dance. The Homecoming Football Parade is at 6pm on Friday. The game starts at 7pm. THe game will have al the great Halftime activities and floats. PLUS the fireworks show during the game and a great grand finale at the end. The Homecoming dance will finalize the great week.

Enjoy all the activities! Never a dull moment at GHS!

The Railroaders "Harriers" will host 10 schools in the annual Hokum Karem Cross Country meet.  That race will be Saturday morning starting at 9am.  For those of you who do not know what a "Hokum Karem" is.  It is a special relay style cross country meet.  2 person teams will alternate running 1.5 mile loops.  Team scores are kept by keeping cummulative times for the two-person teams.  It is the cross country version of a scrimmage.  We have hosted this meet for many years.  It features a great combination of NECC, ACAC, and NHC teams.
