The Ready team competed in the Small School State NAQT (National Academic Quiz Tournaments) and, according to moderator Ben Hilsheimer, “performed superbly! Competing in a field of 21 total teams, the Ready team began the day in the seven team divisional round and compiled a record of 5-1, qualifying for the six-team championship bracket, which made them eligible for an invitation to the National Small School NAQT event, held in Chicago (which, unfortunately, our team was unable to attend: the tourney is the same weekend as the spring musical and 11 of our 12 team members are in the show!). The Silver Knight team finished with a 6-4 overall record; based on this performance, senior John Pyles earned Second Team/All-Tournament Honors and junior Josh Canare was named to the Third Team/All-Tournament Team. Congratulations to the Silver Knights on an amazing performance and on a historic In-The-Know season!”

Boys' Basketball...Coach Tony Bisutti

“Reflecting after one year of coaching the Silver Knights, I truly enjoyed the time with this team and am nothing but optimistic for the future,” said Coach Bisutti. “This team had much thrown at them—major players graduated, a new coach and system, and an incredibly tough schedule. Many games went right down to the wire and those experiences will only help us moving forward.”

Swimming...Coach Ann Smith

“The swim team competed in four local meets (against Grove City, Grove City Christian, Canal Winchester, Whetstone, Grandview, Teays Valley, and Wellington) and two Invitationals (Ned Reeb at OSU and the Small School Invite at Kenyon College) to start off the year.
“Sophomore Elaine Smith achieved a 1st Team/All District CCL by placing 4th in both the 200 and 500 free.
“At sectionals, junior Katie Smith placed 27th in the 2000 IM and 18th in the 100 breast. Elaine Smith placed 5th in both the 200 free and the 500 free. Katie took the overall 31st slot for Sectionals in the 100 breast, the missing the top 30 to move on to Districts. Elaine placed 11th in the 500 free and with a PB of 2:02.54 achieved a 9th place finish at Districts. Both are looking forward to swim season next year.”

Volleyball...Coach Mike Kusan
|
“The team played a brutal schedule and it was ranked as the second toughest in terms of strength of schedule of all Division 3 teams in the state,” Coach Kusan said. Coach Kusan’s philosophy of playing a tough schedule helped in the District tournament: “The highlight of the season was an upset of Fairbanks, which was the overall #1 seed, on their home court in the Sectional semi finals. The Silver Knights volleyball season ended with a loss in the District tournament to Fredericktown.
The future is very bright for the volleyball program; with the loss of only one senior, experienced players will step up and new recruits will add to the team.
Bella Illig/sophomore…First Team/All District; Second Team/All CCL
Lauren Whitt/senior: Honorable Mention/All District
