ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Lahken Forbes (sideline cheer) and Preston Schenk (JV soccer)
Lahken is a dedicated athlete who soaks up knowledge. She had a slow start to the season due to an injury, but as she regains strength, she proves to be a versatile cheerleader. Lahken is a gentle soul with endless respect for her team and coaches. We can't wait to see what this freshman does in the next three years.
Preston scored a goal and had an assist in the team's 7-0 victory over Clare last week. Preston has played center mid for most of the season and has seen some time on the varsity team as well.
The Homecoming spirit is going strong on Jersey Day!
Varsity soccer escaped with a 2-1 win against Boyne City Monday. Mitchel Harrington scored 2 goals to bring his season total to 42. That ties the school record for goals in a season. Alex Moore and Leonardo Bertoncello had assists. Mitchel will have a chance to break the record Tuesday as the team plays a big game against Harbor Springs at home at 5 p.m.

Kendra has been working hard this season to improve her skills to go with her natural talent. She is versatile, playing both front and back row on the left side. Last week, against Elk Rapids, she had 4 aces, 7 kills and 1 assist. What stood out the most was her excellent defense with 6 digs. Congrats, Kendra!
Myles was 11/15 and threw for 107 yards and 2 TDs against Escanaba. We run a very complex offensive system and Myles is our general!
