Winter Sports Schedules
Making Waves
MS Girls basketball had a preseason tournament at Lord Botetourt. They played three games, and came away with three big wins over Pulaski, Central Academy, and Read Mountain Middle School.
MS Swim had a successful first swim meet this season. We had many first, second, and third place finishes, including boys, girls, and combined team overall first place finishes.
Cross Country wrapped up their season with the district track meet. Coach Ward did a great job in setting it up, and we had five runners finish in the top ten, securing their all-district honors.
Cheer finished up their fall season as well, but they pull double duty. They are now gearing up and getting ready for basketball cheer.
Lifeguards
Teachers and Staff - a sheet has been shared with you that includes the names of students who are playing fall sports, their grade level, their coach, and their coach's contact info. If you feel contacting a coach about a student-athlete's behavior or performance in the classroom is necessary, please don't hesitate to do so. There has also been a gate duty sign-up sheet shared with you for the school year. If you work 4 gates, you earn a family pass or CYOW. If you work 8 gates, you get both!
Coaches - Please submit summaries and pictures of teams and/or individuals to georgeedmondson@galaxschools.us so that we can recognize those accomplishments. Please continue to not allow any student athletes to participate in games/meets/matches until they turn in their signed handbook page. In addition, please do not allow them to participate in any activity (practice or play) until you have a copy of their current VHSL physical.
Parents - please return the signed athletic handbook form as soon as possible so we can get these student athletes on the court/field with their teams to wash out the competition.
