Athletes of the Week
2/14
Jesse Willis - Galax Wrestling Club
Jesse is a 7th grader at GMS that is currently wrestling with the Galax Wrestling Club. Jesse, along with two other teammates, competed at Glenvar on the way to the equivalent of Middle School States! He had to fight through a field of six competitors in his weight class. He made it to the semi-finals, but came up just short after a hard fought match. He and his teammates came away from the day with some success and some great experience.
Alaya "Laya" Poindexter - JV Basketball
Laya is an 8th grader on the JV Basketball team. We have several 8th graders this year from the middle school girls team that moved up to JV at the end of their season. All of our middle schoolers are playing big minutes and contributing in a great way to our high school program. Laya is usually known for her lock down defense, but against George Wythe this past week she also climbed into double digits, leading the team in scoring. The 8th graders have meshed well with the high school girls on JV, which is one of the reasons why they are currently undefeated and playing in the JV Championship this Satruday at noon.

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. Please let us know if your student-athlete has participated and/or excelled in any athletics outside of school that we can recognize.
