Another Good Night!

The Boys and Girls Cross Country traveled all the way to Poneto to Southern Wells High School to run against Southern Wells and Woodlan in an ACAC meet. The Boys dominated the race placing Jaron Somers, Kendall Slabaugh, and Jordan Lantz going 1-2-3. The Boys defeated both SW and Woodlan.

The girls are fighting through some injuries but still ended up defeating Woodlan. Ariel McCoy had a great race and finished 3rd in the race. Amanda Stump also had a good race. They lost to Southern Wells but when they get healthy they can defeat them at the ACAC meet in a couple of weeks.

The Volleyball team also won tonight defeating the Starfires at South Adams in 4 games. The Scores were 25-10. 23-25, 25-17, 25-12.  Coach Richardson wasn't happy with the performance, but was happy with the outcome.

The Boys Soccer game at Eastside was postponed to tomorrow due to poor field conditions. The Boys are working at breaking the school record for wins. Go Railroaders!

Monday Scoreboard

Tonight the Boys Soccer team and the Volleyball teams dominated!

The Boys Soccer team hosted the Prairie Heights Panthers and defeated them soundly 6-0. The win ties the most number of wins in school history for the Boys soccer program. But, we have more season left and plans on advancing in the IHSAA tournament.

The Volleyball team also dominated tonight defeating Lakeland in 3 straight games. The JV team also won in 2 games. Everyone contributed tonight and its the type of win which is good for the entire program.

IHSAA Tip of the Week!

IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week (9-19-11)

"Promoting education-based athletics throughout Indiana."

 

Most coaches stress the importance of conditioning and being in shape for the sport of your choice.  Are you in good physical shape for your fall sport?  If your sport doesn't start until winter or spring, are you currently working out to stay in shape?

 

Brad Stevens, head basketball coach at Butler University and the NCAA runner-up the past two seasons, expects his players to never be more than five days away from top condition, whether in season or out of season.

 

Classroom teachers will tell you that you should never be more than a day or two away from completing homework assignments.  Are you doing your part in both?

Saturday Results

The Volleyball team traveled to Wawasee for a tournament this morning. They started off slow and were defeated by Elkhart Christian. Then, after waking up, they defeated Columbia City and Wabash. We ended up defeating the host Warriors to take third place. Jordyn Knott was placed on the All- Tourney team.

The Boys and Girls Cross Country team competed at West Noble today. With more than 30 teams competing, the boys and girls finished 15th and 17th respectively. The top runners for Garrett were Amanda Stump (38th) and Jaron Somers (29th). Kendal Slabaugh and Ariel McCoy also placed high. A lot of really good teams compete at West Noble and we will be back there in a few weeks for sectionals and regionals.

Good Luck Railroaders in the upcoming week!

It's still a "W"!

Well it wasn't pretty, but it still counts as a WIN and the Railroaders are 5-0.

Tonight the Railroaders defeated a very good Bluffton team by the score of 35-28. We had a very diffiuclt time stopping a potent Tiger Offense. In the end it came down to a key turnover late in the game. The Railroaders offense scored 28 points in the second half and came from behind to get the win

Homecoming is always awesome at Garrett thanks to the Student Council and sponsors, Kristen Maksimchuk and Becky Wright. Tonight was no different. It was a perfect night for football and all the festivities. There is nothing better than winning to cap off Homecoming week.

Congrats to the Railroaders!

Good Luck to the Volleyball team at Wawasee tomorrow and the Cross Country teams at West Noble.

It's late but I do have scores!

I just got home but still wanted to share about tonight's scores.

The Volleyball team fell to Leo tonight before a great and enthusiastic Railroader Crowd. We got swept in 3 games but we really battled in every game. Coach Richardson was fired up tonight but she couldn't get the troops rallied or the officials corralled to pull in the victory. Leo is a very good team but I still left with the feeling we should have beaten them. We will see them again in the ACAC tournament.  We are still tied for first place in the ACAC and if we win out we will still be Co-Regular Season Champions.

The Girls Soccer team also played tonight and they DEFEATED Lakewood Park by a score of 2-1. I don't know who scored. But, wins have been hard to come by so we can get really excited about another victory!
