The Current
Athletes of the Week
2/21
Girls Basketball 8th Graders
Mady Goad, Rylee Hawks, Myah Parks, Alaya Poindexter, and Jessenia Poindexter are all 8th graders who played on the Middle School Girls Basketball team and the JV Girls Basketball team. As posted before, these girls were part of a middle school team that went 19-0. After the season, they were pulled up to JV and became part of a team that went 13-0 and captured the MED JV Championship. There are a lot of good players in the grades both above and below them, but it is pretty rare to be a part of a group that goes 32-0 in one year.
We have been without GMS Athletics for a couple of months now, and we still have several weeks before any spring games. Coaches, parents, and fans, please continue to send in any nominations for Athletes of the Week, especially if they participate in something that is not offered at the school and we may not know about it. Thank you to everyone who has already sent in nominations.

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.
