Friday, April 8th
Congratulations to Powell's 7th and 8th grade band ensemble for performing the national anthem at last night's sold-out Denver Nuggets game! The students did a fantastic job, and sounded great! It was a historic night, as Nikola Jokić made history by becoming the first player to score 2,000 points, grab 1,000 rebounds, and have 500 assists in a single NBA season. Russel Wilson was also in the house, and our very own Emily Martineau received one of the footballs he signed at the game! Great job, Pumas!
The 8th grade girls volleyball teams took on a tough opponent from Euclid. The Euclid A team had some great servers and they fought for every loose ball. But the Powell A-team would not be denied the victory. The girls served so well in the first game that only 3, yes you heard that right only 3 girls served the team to 21 points. The second game the Powell girls missed some serves as Euclid got the win. But the girls rallied behind a great team effort and the amazing serves from Morgan A. She stepped to the service line with no room for error as the score was 11-14. After she was done, the team had notched a 16-14 victory thanks to her clutch serves.
The B girls faced their first opponent of the year who was interested in playing volleyball the correct way. The girls struggled passing in the first game and lost. But there was a spark in the team as they came out in the second game absolutely ready to dominate. The girls only allowed Euclid to score a combined 13 points over the next two games - that is unheard of in a volleyball match. Clutch serves came from Liv K, Emery M and Chloe F.
The C girls might have played their best game of the year. They served fantastically well as the team only gave up 25 points over the combined two games. Multiple times the girls were able to get 3 touches when the ball was on their half of the court. Great plays were made by Amy C, Audrey T, and Ryley D. The serving rockstars included Lily E, Avery L and Jay S.
Please come over to Euclid on Tuesday to support the girls as they wrap up their regular season.
