Last night in a packed gym at Newton Middle School, your Puma 7th and 8th grade wrestling team competed for the LPS district championship. In thrilling match after match, our athletes battled with ferocity. One after another, we seemed to alternate between easy wins by pin or gut check moments of heart pounding pride. It is not hyperbole to say many of our athletes will have stories to brag about for their whole lives. Not only did we win the team championship, but we also won eleven of the seventeen total weight classes! Hear that again, ELEVEN! The following students won first place in the tournament and are therefore the best middle school athletes in all of Littleton Public Schools: Marek Mangers, Lance Derby, Ben Barbor, Jason Nelson, Anthony Salazar, Colin Lovet, Harris Fulkerson, Brock Benson, Colin Liburdi, Manual Glavin, and Cruz Young. Second place finishers were Tyler McCAlister, William Ricenbaw, and Bodie Hall. Earning third and fourth respectively were Grant Skoulas and Sam Siegal. We are so incredibly proud of every student athlete that showed the courage to compete on our District Champion Powell Wrestling Team.
The 8th grade girls basketball teams took on Euclid last night. The A-team lost 32-22, but made a nice second half comeback after some first half struggles. Madison Dykstra led the way with 8 points.
The B Team had an exciting finish. Trailing 16-15 with 9 seconds left, Nora Calvanese stole the ball and hit a basket with just one second left, giving Powell a 17-16 win! Nora led the way with 8 points and Elena Lupo added 3.
The girls basketball tournament begins the week after break - we need a huge crowd on Tuesday as will host a semifinal game!
