9/18
Griffin Bolen - GMS XC
Griffin is an 8th grader at GMS and currently a member of the GMS XC Team. The MS XC Team had two meets this past week, and Griffin led the pack for the boys in both. His coach said that Griffin has matured this year, has had a great attitude, and has really been pushing himself. He has been hitting all kinds of PRs!
Jasmine Urbina - GMS Volleyball
Jasmine is an 8th grader at GMS and currently a member of the GMS Volleyball Team. The MS Volleyball Team has been on a hot streak, with a 6-2 start to the season. Jasmine came up big this past week with a run of 10 straight service points against Bland. Thanks to her teammates' passes and sets, Jasmine also contributed some amazing kills. She has not only been one of the most consistent servers on the team, but she has also been a great leader, teammate, and all around player.
Alex Brown - GHS Football
Alex is an 7th grader at GMS and currently a member of the GMS Football Team. The MS Football Team came up with a big 34-12 win over Radford this week and Alex played a big part of that. He made an impact on defense with some big hits and tackles, but he impacted the game most on the scoreboard. Thanks to Jordan, Nathaniel, Ayden, Jamari, Kendrell, Lalo, and Mason for clearing the way, once Alex passed the first level of defense, he was off to the races and rushed for 4 touchdowns. He also connected with Abel Sechrist on a pass for the 5th touchdown on the day!

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.
