Spring Sports

The spring athletic season never disappoints! With 191 student-athletes participating, they worked hard to represent RCS with integrity and pride!

“I could not be more proud of how the season went,” said the Director of Athletics, Physical Education, Health & Wellness, Ms. Murphy. “Watching teams throughout the season showed me how much each team grew with each passing week.”

A big thank you goes to the coaches, parents, caregivers, staff, chaperones, transportation team, and most notably, our student-athletes for an exciting season! Each of you plays an important role in supporting and improving our athletic program, and it is greatly appreciated!

Congratulations again to our teams on a job well done! Here is a wrap-up of each sport.

This spring, the Girls Varsity Softball Team was recognized as a New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) Scholar-Athlete Team, meaning throughout the season the team must have 75% of their roster with an average of 90 or higher. Awesome job ladies!

As a younger team, the girls started the season with optimism, a fresh mindset and a positive attitude. They worked hard every day in practice to prepare for their competitive Colonial Council and non-league game schedule. The girls made gains together as a group, improved on their individual skills, and learned from their experiences. The team finished with notable wins against Lansingburgh, Voorheesville, and Fonda-Fultonville and also placed 2nd Place in the Greenville Slam Tournament.

The Boys Varsity Tennis team had a rigorous season with 15 matches, oftentimes playing back to back or 3 days in a row due to the uncooperative weather! The team grew in numbers this year from previous years and are hoping to continue that momentum to gain new players for next spring.

The team worked hard on their skills, stayed focused and had notable wins against Mohonasen / Schenectady, Cobleskill-Richmondville & Schoharie.

The Varsity Girls Outdoor Track & Field team had a successful season overall. The team competed in 5 league meets and Colonial Council Championships. They also participated in invitationals at Niskayuna, Watervliet, and Mohonasen High Schools. The dedication from the team was evident throughout the season and each athlete improved individually.
