Just a quick update on the basketball team. We have been playing in the Pickneyville tournament this week. First game the varsity defeated Desoto, Jordan Rodriquez was our leading scorer with 16 pts, then Cody Summers with 12, Nick Shelton with 10. Lost our next game to Tamaroa, Gavin Suver was our scoring leader with 10 pts. Last night we beat Thompsonville by a point, 36 to 35. Gavin Suver was our leading scorer with 20 points, followed by Jordan Rodriquez with 9 points. Play again Friday night at 8:00 vs. either Giant City or St.Ann’s. Then we turn around and play at Rend Lake college early Saturday morning at 9:00 am, so we will have some tired boys! Kids are working hard and showing improvement.

We had 4 of our students qualify to go to the state track meet in Salem on May 10th. Jared and Jenna Johnston in the 1600m run, Caleb Forby in both the long jump and 100m dash, and Christy Hayden in the girls shotput. All of the track athletes who qualified and didn’t qualify gave great efforts yesterday, we had several students just miss state by finishing third ( you had to finish first or second to make state).

The volleyball team took 3rd place in the state this weekend. After a loss to Germantown, the girls fought back with a win over Geff to claim 3rd place in the state tournament.
