Coach Minton sent this to me. We are proud of the Boys CC team and I couldn't agree more. Athletics teach many things. Perseverance is one of those valuable lessons. Good Luck in the ACAC meet and the sectional meet next week!
From Coach Minton:
Good effort by the Boys Cross Country Team this ACAC season. Despite having a varsity runner out for the year with a stress fracture and another varsity runner requiring surgery after the ACAC meet, the boys posted a regular season record of 4-2. Though there is still room for improvement it shows what a little perseverance can do.

Tournament Week!
We have tournament play begins this week for several GHS teams:
The Boys and Girls Cross Country teams travel to Adams Central Tuesday for the ACAC Cross Country Meet. The Girls race will begin at 5:30 p.m. followed by the Boys race. 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!

Great day for CC and the Band!
The girls cross country team finished 3rd as a team and Ariel McCoy finished 3rd over-all at the South Adams Small School Cross Country Invitational just 3 points out of 2nd place. Kaitlin Hinkle placed 14th, Rachel Hood 16th. Great effort Ladies!
The Boys finished 11th as a team and were led by Kendal Slabaugh's 17th place finish and Jaron Somer's 32nd place finish.
Both teams head to the ACAC meet at Adams Central on Tuesday.
The band also received a Gold rating today at Homestead and will be heading to the Regional Competition in two weeks. Great Job Railroader Regiment and Good Luck!

NEW SPORTSMANSHIP BLOG
I found a great NEW blog from Character Counts that is something we should all follow. I have it listed in my favorite links. The articles are great. The First Posts include an article about Derek Jeter faking an injury by a pitch that never hit him. I was greatly disappointed in Derek's actions. Even the greatest of players sometimes don't get it. If we have a win at all costs mentality, where does the final line get drawn. Read the articles. Help teach our students and fans the true meaning of sportsmanship.

1 thing missing!
Not too many people know what work has gone on behind the scenes to get ready for homecoming. So many people are involved with making this a great night for GHS. First of all you have to take your hats off to Becky Wright and Kristen Maksimchuk. These two great ladies are sponsors of our Student Council. They were a big force behind all of the events of the week. They work tirelessly directing our students and helping them organize such a large community event. They plan the parade, powder puff, snake dance, 1/2 time ceremonies, float building, after game dance and so much more. They also happen to be in the middle of planning for the State Student Council Convention. Besides all that, they also have to teach classes everyday. (their other job!) You also have to give a big hand for the GHS Aims committee that organized shirt sales, the pep session, float building, and generating school spirit for the week.
Lastly, I am eternally grateful for John Bennett and Greg Griffin for their hard work. I get so many compliments about how great our football field looks. These two guys are the reason. When everyone else was spending the day-off at the Fair. They were working all day getting the field ready for the game. Greg designed the center of the field. He and John laid it out and painted it by hand. They started early this morning and worked straight through lunch to get the field done. Greg went home, changed clothes and came right back to help set off the fireworks during and after the game. John put the final touches on the field cutting it at about 4 oclock. He then climbed the light poles at the field to get some great pictures. (I am including them. ) John doesn't get enough credit for his hardwork and dedication to our wonderful facilities. Thanks Griff and John!
About the only thing that could have made this a perfect week would have been a win. Oh, well. We can't have everything!
