The Thespian troupe will meet on the stage tomorrow. We will be picking our ThesCon pieces and working towards competition. If you are a "fun seeker" and not competing at ThesCon, you should not join us this Thursday. Again, Thespian troupe is selecting their ThesCon pieces this Thursday!
"Your Powell 7th and 8th grade Wrestling Team competed against a small, but talented Goddard Viking team. We won 15 (most all by pins) and lost 13. They had two buzz saws that accounted for 7 of our loses though. All of our team wrestled with fire in their bellies, and we showed a lot of growth. There were too many great matches to give everyone a shout out, but a few highlights were Marshall Pool with a solid pin over a huge opponent, Taj Muhammad for a decisive pin in his first match, Devin Vigil for pinning two different opponents, and Kaiden Vaughn for pinning a beast that had beaten three other members of our team. Great showing people!"
Our 8th grade girls basketball teams played their first games of the season last night against Goddard Middle School. Our A team dominated the game from the opening possession and kept the pressure on the entire game. As a team they had 25 steals, 5 of those from Shay Wilcox. Marley Render led the team with 12 points and 7 rebounds. Kalhea (Ka-lay-uh) Jordan added 6 points, 6 steals and a handful of rebounds for our Pumas. Awesome start to the season A team!
Our B team had a slower start, but turned up the heat in the second half led by Grace Erickson's 10 points and 5 rebounds. Abby Ballas showed great defense and Kaydi Hayes-Brown worked hard for several rebounds, which helped energize our team. It was a very exciting final few minutes, but our Pumas came up one basket short. Amazing effort ladies!
