IN SPORTS: Last night the boys soccer team took on an undefeated Traughber in the rain. After taking the lead, Taughber came back to tie up the game. The boys kept playing a tough game and the game went into overtime. Unfortunately, with about 1 min left in overtime, Traughber scored and took the win. It was a hard fought game and the boys played a great game. Come out tonight as they take on Plank.

Last night the 8th grade girls volleyball team went to Traughber. The A team won with some amazing saves! But the B team had a really close game with great serves but sadly lost. Good game girls! Mav’s come cheer our 8th-grade volleyball team as they travel to Plank tonight!

Make it a great day Mavericks!
