VOLLEYBALL

The 7th grade volleyball girls swept California Trail taking all 4 sets. A team saw strong performances from Mia Jarvis and Sienna Roberts. Katelyn Meyer had two outstanding plays in the B game along with Ady Eager to keep the ball live and score the point. The 8th grade volleyball girls were also able to grind out a win against a competitive California Trail team. In the A game, Addy Kemp and Masyn Foster and McKenna Whitaker had strong performances. In the B game, Sofia Constanzo was the defensive player of the game and Ryanne Dickey was able to set our hitters some awesome sets.

It was a thrilling afternoon of volleyball for 7th grade girls at Chisholm Trail! The A team was able to take the win from a very talented CST team in 2 sets, winning 25 to 19 and 25 to 16. B team took Chisholm Trail to 3 sets and was able to come away with the victory in the 3rd set winning 15-11. The 8th grade A team won both games 25-12 and 25-17. B Team had a bit of a tougher challenge taking Chisholm to three games. They lost the third set 14-16. The team will play back at home next week on both Monday and Wednesday against Pioneer Trail and Santa Fe Trail. We would love to see you come support our Huskies!

FOOTBALL

**8th Grade** pulled off an exciting 20-14 victory with a thrilling walk-off 70-yard touchdown pass from Mason Dillard to Mason Suther. A hard-fought win for the Huskies who stay undefeated!

**7th Grade** continued their winning streak, dominating Pioneer Trail with a 38-14 win, thanks in large part to Lawrence Clark and Brodie Strathman, who played big on both sides of the ball with key touchdowns and multiple defensive stops. Incredible teamwork!

Great job, Huskies! We can't wait to see everyone in their **neon** on Wednesday at our night game! Let’s light it up!

Students who are not involved in after school activities and do not attend pep club may still attend the football game with an adult and sit with the adult during the game.

All students must have a ride available promptly at 7:30pm on the west side of CBAC. Students will exit the stadium on the west side of the stadium. This is a long day for all staff supervisors so all rides home must be on time.

Any PRT fathers that have not yet had a chance to sign up to be a part of this group are still welcome to show up Friday morning.
