Good luck to our 8th-grade boys basketball teams today as they travel to take on the Euclid Falcons. And, attention all 6th graders interested in playing basketball, your co-ed season begins tomorrow. Please meet your coaches after school in the gym tomorrow if you’d like to play.

CONGRATULATIONS to our very own Adam Thurmond for qualifying for our District Level Spelling Bee. Join me in wishing him well on Wednesday at Newton as he represents Powell. Good luck, Adam!

Wednesday, February 1, 2023,  3:50-5pm - TSA Meeting, Room 1210 for Project Work time. Reminder - this is the FINAL date for early submission events.

Last night the 7th-grade boys' basketball teams took on Newton.
The A team started off with great energy, which was matched by the wonderful Puma fans who came to cheer on the teams. Some whole-team highlights include a very effective press defense, a high throw percentage, and unselfish passing. Individual standouts include Nash McMonigle's speed, defense, and rebounding, Merrick Franks' scoring and playmaking, Jacob Laderer's and Cam Fredricks' abilities to slice through the defense, and Bennett Smith's toughness.
The B team also played a strong game against the Knights. Some highlights include Kaiden Vaughn's steals and fast breaks, Weston Chemalind's point guard play, Sean McNatt's assists, and Brennen Dreiling's defense and perimeter shooting.
The C team showed some growth from their last game, too. Led by Henry Smith at point guard, and Tully Becker, Ethan Hunt, and Keegan Mead on defense, the Pumas played some hard-bitten basketball. The team was helped by scores from Jaxson Mathieson, Jake Archie, Henry Smith, Riley Stearns, and Tully Becker. With so many contributions from everyone on the team, the C team was able to come away with the win.
A final shout-out goes to Mr. Chavers, who unexpectedly had to lace up and ref all three games. Without his efforts, none of the games would have happened. Please join us in thanking Mr. Chavers when you see him today.
The team will play their last game of the season on Wednesday at Goddard. We hope to see you there.

Yesterday was the 7th-grade boy's basketball team's first game of the season vs. Euclid. After a tough first half, the A-Team played some solid basketball in the second half and really turned up the tempo during the 4th quarter. Highlights included great assists by Mereck Franks, tough defense by Miles McMonigle and Cole Troupe, strong point-guard play from Jacob Laderer, and clutch buckets by Miles Upah.

The B-Team also played well vs. the Falcons. Some highlights include Cam Carnes's tight handles, Kaiden Vaughn's formidable defense, and Brennen Dreiling's performance at both ends of the court as he led the team in rebounds and scoring. Because of the entire team's smothering defense, the Puma's held the Falcons to only 14 points and secured a win.

Last night was also a great chance for the C-Team to practice skills and work as a team. Of note were the team's scorers, Milo Bonnema, Reily Stearns, Cayden Whitney, and Caleb Wright. The defense was led by Jaxson Mathieson, Tully Becker, and Christian Flores.

Pumas, please come and support the team this Monday at their only home game as they take on the Newton Knights. We hope to see you there!

Yesterday your 8th-grade boys played against Goddard for the first game of the season. A team played tirelessly and fought with everything they had. A special shoutout to Cooper Matney for being the team's highest scorer and calling plays with confidence.
Jackson Waller led the team in 7 turnovers which ultimately led the B team to victory against the Goddard Vikings.
C team demolished the court with positive attitudes and strength. Ren Nelson was on fire with 14 points and a victory dance you don't want to miss. Your Powell Puma's once again defeated the Vikings 32 -20.
Your coaches are so proud of you all!
Be sure to come on out tonight to see your C team play Options. Way to go Pumas!
