The players have done an amazing job working with, and trusting, each other. The team has a big game on Friday versus Denver East at All-City stadium at 4:00 PM. Vincent King and Kamari Lewis-Stallworth each had interceptions last week as the defense posted their 4th shut-out of the season. Boys' Tennis

The team continues to work on cheering on our teams and also preparing for the league championships coming up in early November. Gymnastics Mabry Robinson and Aaliyah Jamison continue to be among the leaders for the district gymnastics team at Overland. Field Hockey The young field hockey team hopes to pick up a win on Tuesday when they play Grandview at Stutler Bowl.

The team is playing for seeding at regionals on October 13. Yasmine Ybarra and Cameron Lyons lead the team in hits. Ybarra also leads the team in home runs and RBIs. Cross Country The harriers ran well at the Douglas County Invite last weekend. The boys finished 3rd and the girls finished 9th. Impressively, 21 of the 32 runners on Saturday ran their best time of the year. Poms The poms continue to grow and put on a great show at halftime of the homecoming football game. They are working toward the league competition which will be hosted at Smoky Hill in November. Boys' Soccer  The soccer team has had some bad luck versus some very good teams this year. They have lost several one goal games to top 10 teams this year and continue to battle and improve every day.
