Mavericks: Winter has arrived with a vengeance and cold and flu season is going strong.  Nurse Margaret is asking that you remember to wash your hands before eating and after using the restroom.  Remember to cough or sneeze in to a tissue or your elbow and not in to the face of your friends or teachers.  Use hand sanitizer frequently and do NOT come to school if you are vomiting or have a fever or if you just don't feel good.  Do this and we will all try to get and stay healthy until spring!

The 7th grade lady Mavericks played a tough Plank team yesterday.  In the first game, Plank applied full court pressure through the game.  The Mavericks play great and were able to break the press pretty well to get some open shots and  pull out to a lead early.  Things got interesting when Plank was able to tie the score in the 4th quarter, but the Mavericks held on for the 18 to 15 victory.  Riley led the scoring with 9 points, while Anya added 5 and Molly 4 points. In the second game, Plank again applied the full court pressure.  Again the Mavericks were able to break through for some good shots on their way to a 24 to 16 victory.  Shyell and Shemaiah led the scoring with 8 points, while Zakayia and Alex each added 4.  

Last night the 8th grade girls took on Plank.  During the 1st quarter we stayed within 4 points but they slowly pulled away from us during the rest of the game.  We played hard but ended up losing in the end.  High scorers were Allie with 8 and Trinity with 6 and Natalie with 5. During the second game we started off well and took the lead but by the 2nd quarter it was tied and from there the score went back and forth. We put a full court press on and took the lead and held on to it till the end for a victory.

Make it a great day Mavericks!
