We took some time after Thursday’s field hockey game vs. Wilson to recognize our seniors and their families. The team fought the visiting warriors to a 1-1 tie and will need a good performance as they travel to Palmerton to secure a league playoff spot.  The team needs to finish strong as they hope to also qualify for the District playoff.  The overall record is 7-6-1. Thanks to Ben Greenberg '25 for the photos!

Field Hockey Senior Night 2023

The boys’ and girls’ cross-country teams traveled to Palisades this past week.  The runners have continued to demonstrate improvement throughout the year and both teams posted a 2-1 record on the day.  With the final meet of the regular season set to take place next week as the teams travel to Northwestern, the runners will look to finish strong with their eyes set on the Colonial League Championship.  The boys’ team’s record is currently 11-10 with the girls’ team at 12-9.

Big week for the girls’ soccer team as they defeated Salisbury by a 8-0 score and then followed up that result with a 1-0 road win over Bangor.  With a league record of 7-5, they will now wait for other results to see if they have secured a Colonial League playoff spot.  On the District level, the team has qualified for the tournament and will look to defend their title.
