JV
The JV girls tennis team ended the season with an exclamation, winning in convincing style 6-1 over Reagan High School.
The girls played their best tennis of the season and, as always, were polite but determined against their opponents.
It was truly a joy to coach this year's team. They had fun, made new friends, and improved their tennis skills. I have no doubt many will advance to varsity next season.

Defensive backs Tim Cobb, Tate Nowacki, Charlie York, and Leo Jurgens did a great job in pass coverage. The line continues to get better at blocking and rushing the opposing quarterbacks.
The JR Knights kept the game tight and had their first touchdown pass of the year. Kirtan Pansheriya had a couple of nice runs. In the end, the JR Knights came up short with a 33-20 loss. The 5th/6th grade JR Knights will play next Saturday at home against St. Francis.

Quarterback Ethan Potthast engineered several offensive drives to keep the JR Knights within reach. In an exciting finish, the JR Knights scored with seconds left in the game on a reverse pass from Ethan Potthast to Garrett Priebe to another wide receiver for the touchdown.
