Are you ready for some football???

This week in PE classes, the 7th and 8th grade students started playing flag football games. The girls started to focus in on running set plays that include both passing and running patterns. Each class learned how to run a reverse in order to gain yards, as well as short yardage passing plays. I have been impressed with how well the games have been going. Keep up the great work!

Sixth grade classes are still in their final rotation of the first 3 units. In field hockey, we have been playing games inside and working on teamwork and passing skills. I am hoping to get outside next week for some actual "field" games. Please make sure that you bring warmer clothes as the temperature is going to be in the mid to upper 50's next week.

The Fall Sports banquet will be held on Thursday, November 3rd at 6pm. All FALL SPORT ATHLETES should have received a banquet form if you will be eating dinner with us. Please return these forms by November 1st.

Have a great weekend!

Champions!!!

Congratulations to the Varsity volleyball team on their PERFECT SEASON! 12-0! The team defeated Cass in two games (25-23, 25-19) in their first match of the tournament. Then went onto the championship match and defeated Jefferson in two games (25-21, 25-11) to take home the conference tournament title for the second year in a row. What an amazing season girls! You deserve it for all of your hard work day in and day out for the last two months! GO SPARTANS!!

GO SPARTANS!!!

Good luck to the Varsity volleyball team as they play in their conference tournament this Saturday, October 22nd @ Lakeview. The Spartans will take on the winner of the Cass vs. Westmont game at 10:45am in gym 2. Come on out and support your Spartans!!!

Lakeview Volleyball....

Congratulations to both the JV and Varsity Volleyball team members on their 10-0 regular season records!!! What a well played season girls! The varsity volleyball team will now play in the conference tournament on Saturday, October 22nd at Lakeview, game time is set for 10:45am. GO SPARTANS!!!

In P.E. classes, we wrapped up the track and field unit and will now begin our flag football unit. Please remember that you are allowed to bring sweats to wear outside in case the weather starts to become a little cooler. We will go outside if it is above 50 degrees and not raining.

In sixth grade classes, we will be finishing up our second rotation of units. All three classes will test this Friday over their current unit. Please review the study guides that are posted online under physical education on the Lakeview website.

Have a great week!

Track and Field Wrap-Up

The 7th and 8th grade students will be outside all week concluding their track and field units. In the track portion, students are working on the 400 and 800 relays. The times so far after one day have been very impressive and I am betting that students will continue to improve as they gain the tactical knowledge to master the skill of a blind handoff. We will test on Friday with our 7th and 8th graders.

Sixth grade students are well under way with their second units of the school year. In field hockey, we were able to go outside for the first time and play games. Students realized how it is much more of a challenge to compete in a game outside on the grass compared to inside on the floor. Students in both classes recognized the areas of the game that they could improve on and then discussed what each team was doing well. I'm looking forward to watching some great games through the end of the week.

The Spartan volleyball teams both were victorious last night against Gower. The Varsity match went to 3 games (the first time all season), but the Spartans were able to come from behind (7-14) in the final game to win 16-14. One of the greatest comebacks I have ever seen! The JV team won in 2 games and continued their great play on the court. The teams conclude their regular season this week with games @Butler on Wednesday and home against Jefferson on Thursday. Come on out and support your Spartans!!!
