Hawk Happenings
May 17, 2024
Be Not Afraid!
Good Afternoon Hawk Families,
It's hard to believe that today is the last full day for the 2023-2024 school year! Of course we had some extra excitement with Schoology going down this week. You definitely take technology for granted and realize how much you need it when it's not available! Thanks again for the patience and understanding through all of that.
Our Post Seasons started this week. The rain made it difficult to get some of the games in, but we got there eventually! Here is a quick overview of the week:
- Girls Soccer won their first game of the Regional, so they advanced to the Regional Championship. They faced off against Althoff and ended up losing 3-0. Congratulations to the girls on a great season!
- Girls Softball had their first Regional Game against Dupo. They lost 5-4 after fighting back from being down 4-0. Congratulations to the girls on a great season!
- Girls Track-the 800 Meter Relay Team qualified for State and competed this week. They did not advance to the State finals. Congratulations to the whole track team for a great season!
- Boys Track-Congratulations to Ryan Biffar for qualifying for State in the 400 meters at Sectionals yesterday. Congratulations to Oscar Gedris for medaling in the discus and triple jump and to Austin Stern for medaling in the 800 meters. Ryan will compete on Thursday, so good luck to him! Congratulations to the rest of the track team for a great season!
