The Volleyball team got back on the winning wagon by defeating West Noble on the road tonight in Ligonier! The scores were 27-25, 25-19, 25-11. Now let's see if we can keep things rolling all the way through Sectionals!

Just like the Football Sectional. We have been blessed with a great draw. We have to beat a feisty Eastside team. But having the Bye Game is a great advantage in the tournament. Their is not anyone in this sectional we can't beat. (When we are playing well!) Good Luck Ladies in the tournament!

Football Sectional Draw
Ok, Here it is!
Garrett will host Central Noble in the first round of the IHSAA Sectional on October 22nd. Garrett will travel to either Prairie Heights or Eastside for the 2nd round game on October 29th. Then Garrett would host the championship game UNLESS Whitko wins the upper bracket. Then the sectional championship game would be played at Whitko. The Upper Bracket has the Whitko Wildcats traveling to Bremen and Woodlan traveling to Fairfield in the first round.
The formula for hosting games in the Sectional Tournament is complicated. The bottom of the bracket will host the game in the first round. In the second round, the team without a home game in the first round will host the game. If both teams did not host or If both teams did host the first round game, then it goes to the bottom bracket. In the Championship game the bottom of the bracket will host UNLESS the team in the upper bracket has hosted fewer or no games in the tournament than the bottom of the bracket. Now that is clear as MUD!
Scenarios:
Second Round -- Garrett @ Prairie Heights, or Garrett @ Eastside
Championship Game -- Whitko @ Garrett (If Whitko face Fairfield in Round 2)
Garrett @ Whitko (If Whitko faces Woodlan in Round 2)
Bremen @ Garrett (All scenarios @Garrett)
Fairfield @ Garrett (All scenarios @Garrett)
Looks like a pretty good draw for Garrett. 3 out 4 championship scenarios would be played at Garrett,

I love attending a Character Counts School. I am so proud of how we handle victory and defeat. Coach Frickey and his entire staff and players represent GHS well even in a 49-7 defeat.

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.

Soccer Record
The girls soccer team got another win tonight defeating West Noble 4-1. Heather House had 3 goals and Brittany Scalici had one goal in defeating the Lady Chargers. Great end to the regular season!
Tomorrow night the Boys Soccer team faces a tough Lakewood Park Christian team at Garrett. This game is getting a lot of attention by the media as Austin Altimus is one goal away from breaking the State Boys Soccer scoring record. All of the area media will be covering this game. What a great way to get some exposure for our Boys team. We are also going for a record 7 wins in a season. That record might not be getting attention from the media, but it is getting a lot of attention in the area soccer coaches. I am so proud of this team this year. We are young. But, I have not seen a group of boys soccer players work as hard as this group. If they continue to work hard at developing their skills and WORK HARD IN THE WEIGHT ROOM, they will see some great results in years to come. It was funny, at the ACAC Championship game, when the parents said (Joking) that we need to pump some steroids into our boys. Well, seriously, this team needs to devote themselves to getting bigger, faster, stronger through the WEIGHT ROOM! If they can do that, we will have a great chance at winning some hardware! Everything is in place. They need to take the next step.
Good Luck tomorrow and in the future!

ACAC Cross Country +
With two VERY,VERY young teams both Coach Minton and Coach Rhoades know they would have a tough time winning the ACAC meet. But, both teams ran smart races and arrived back at Garrett with 3 All-Conference Cross Country Runners. The Boys took home two of the honors. Kendall Slabaugh took fifth place to earn First Team All-Conference honors and Jaron Somers got 10th and earned 2nd team All-Conference honors. For the Girls, Ariel McCoy earned 1st team All-Conference by finishing 4th in the meet.
The Boys team, who have suffered all season with countless injuries, finished and impressive 3rd place behind two strong ACAC foes. (South Adams and Leo).
The girls team who has only 2 experienced Cross Country runners got 4th place. They have not beaten Southern Wells all year and finally were able to defeat them.
I am a former Cross Country Coach and I appreciate the accomplishment of both these teams. Both teams are very young and inexperienced. Running at a fast pace is an endeavor that gets better only after years of training. To be able to accomplish this with mostly inexperienced runners is quite an accomplishment. Thanks Coaches and Runners for your hard work. Good Luck next week at the West Noble Sectional.

The Volleyball barely got past a feisty Bluffton Tiger Volleyball team tonight in the first round of the ACAC Volleyball tournament at Heritage. The Lady Railroaders defeated Bluffton easily in the regular season but took 3 close games to win the best 2 out of 3 match. I'm not sure of the exact scores but the first game went to Garrett 26-18 (I think). The second game went to Bluffton 26-24 and the third and deciding game went to the Lady Railroaders 26-24. The girls had to come back in the final game after being down by a 16-21 deficit. They will face the Leo Lady Lions in the Semi-Finals on Thursday at Heritage.
Also the Girls Soccer team ended their regular season by defeating the Central Noble Lady Cougar Soccer team by a score of 4-2. Now all attention goes to defeating the Lady Barons next Tuesday Night at Dekalb. The game will start at approximately 7:15. Good Luck Ladies!
