Magic: The Gathering Club will meet in Mrs. Blake's room (1068) after school next Monday, February 5. Set your decks, review your strategy, and join us for some fun competition!
Congratulations to Powell's 8th Grade Boys A team who defeated our rivals from Newton on the road 39-29. Nash McMonigle and Merrick Franks consistently show up as leaders on and off the court and last night was no exception. They contribute far more than points on the scoreboard indicate, and they score a lot of points! But we can't overlook players like Cam Fredericks, Ryder Wallace and Brennan Dreiling who continue to play with so much heart and hustle, doing the small things that make a big difference. It was a great win for our Pumas!
Our B team won as well with an epic 3-point shot by Kaiden Vaughn to take the lead with 7 seconds left in the game! Rebounds, tough defense, and teamwork made the difference for our B team last night. Vaughn's 13 points, Cayden Whitney's 12 points, and Matthew Reynolds's 10 rebounds were valuable contributions.
Our C team battled in a close game the entire night but came up 5 points short of the victory. Great teamwork kept this game close as everyone contributed points, rebounds, and steals. Bryce Simon showed selflessness as he made several key passes to his teammates, and his big 3-point basket was awesome! Keegan Mead demonstrated awareness and hustle as he led the team in rebounds. We hope we get a rematch against Newton in the tournament next week!
