Attention all chess players. The LPS district chess tournament is approaching! This year's tournament will be held at Newton Middle School on Saturday, December 7. See Ms. Erickson or Mr. Lacey for details and entry forms. All entry forms are due by Tuesday, November 19.
We want to thank all of the students, staff, community members and everyone else who made it out to the 3rd annual chili cook off contest! We had over 20 chilis entered into the contest and they were all fantastic! There were chilis in all varieties and people were totally impressed. In my opinion, Mr. Krenz's chili was the best, but because he is a staff member, he could not win. Nevertheless, we had two Powell students who had their chilis in the top three! Maya Winger's delicious chili won 3rd place! Great work Maya. In addition, Aiden Colella's delectable chili took home the 2nd place prize! Way to go Aiden! Overall it was a wonderful night full of delicious food and fun. Thank you everyone for participating and help make this night a success!
The Powell 8th grade girls basketball teams traveled to Goddard last night.
The A-Team stayed undefeated with a 27-10 win over the Vikings. Izzy Caranna and Bella Cote did a great job distributing the ball to open people and the team played great overall defense. Maddie Dykstra scored 8 to lead the way, Maddie Braun added 6 and Bella Sandoval scored 4 for the Pumas.
The B-Team also stayed undefeated, beating Goddard 17-10. Rowan Hughes and Elena Lupo did a great job cleaning up the glass and playing defense. Evelyn Jenkins scored 11 points and Lexi Nottingham scored 4 to lead the B-Team.
Great job, ladies!
The Puma 7th and 8th grade wrestling team had it's second meet of the season last night and looked dominant! We had lots of thrilling victories. Folks, we have a really impressive squad this year, so find a wrestler today and tell them how proud you are. With over 50 matches last night, again there are far too many to recount, but we have some special shouts out to a handful of wrestlers that went beast mode last night: Sam Seigal won three matches by pin last night! Jason Nelson is new this year but is undefeated on the season and is easily beating far more experienced athletes. Anthony Salazar is straight up dominating people on the mat. Thomas Sweetman won all three of his matches last night convincingly. Ben Barbour is a force of nature and won both his matches by pin and Bodie Hall won his matches easily and shows great growth each meet. We host Goddard next Thursday here at Powell for our final meet before districts, some come on out and cheer on YOUR Puma Wrestling team!
