No Broken Bones

I just got an update on the Blackhawk soccer player. She does not have any broken bones although she does have a concussion. She is still being observed at the hospital but they expect her to go home soon. We are all thankful for the great care she received.

Rainy Senior Night and Volleyball

Tonight we honored our Senior Girls Soccer players in their final home game of the regular season. Aubrey Bevilaqua, Katrina Miller, Miranda Miller, Allie Murley, and Mary Mix were recognized at  the rainy halftime festivities. We are proud of these girls for their efforts and dedication to GHS Soccer. We also are grateful for the parents and their support over the last 4 years. We wish them all the Luck as they pursue their careers outside of GHS.

The Girls lost to Blackhawk 7-1. The game was delayed for an injured Blackhawk player. It appeared she would be alright but she was transported for precautionary reasons. But, keep her and her family in your prayers as the doctors make sure she is ok. If we get an update. I will post it here.

The Girls Volleyball team traveled to Angola tonight and were defeated in 3 straight games. Angola is a potential sectional opponent. Coach Richardson has some work to do to prepare the team for a busy end of the season.

Boys Soccer Raises the Bar

The Boys Soccer team is raising the bar. The Boys traveled to Eastside tonight and won another shut-out 2-0. Nathan Sliger and Karsten Cooper both scored for the Railroaders. WIth this win they are now the winningest Boys Soccer Program in GHS History, AND they have two more regular season games, PLUS the IHSAA tournament.  

Senior Night for the girls is tomorrow night as the girls host Blackhawk.  The game starts at 630pm and will follow the middle school game. We will honor the Senior Girls at halftime.

The Boys Senior Night is Monday vs Central Noble. That game starts at 6pm and we will also honor the Seniors at Halftime.

Good Luck Soccer teams. WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!

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?
