Last week was filled with great examples of Warrior pride and enthusiasm. The volleyball team gave us an exciting battle with rival Illini Central. The Lady Warriors dispatched IC in two fast-paced and action-filled games. The student section and the parent sections were rocking and rolling with the action. The JV FB team won a tight game in OT against Pawnee. The CC team also had a good week.
On Friday, the cheerleaders put together an amazing Pep Assembly. Coach Mayfield and the girls refreshed our student-body on the words to the school song in a sing-a-long. The cheerleaders had large cut-outs of the lyrics held end-to-end. Nate Pierce was recruited to play the part of the" old bouncing ball over the words," from shows like Sesame Street. As Nate bounced from word to word, the students recited the words in unison. 98% of the students (roughly 330) stood and sang the school fight song. It was quite impressive. The assembly ended with the popular class cheer contest and all 4 grades gave it their best. It was a great way to end the school week and kick-off a home football Friday night.
The football team provided all of us with a great victory over a nearby rival. The Warriors defeated the visiting Cardinals of Pleasant Plains by a touchdown. James' hard-nosed, up the gut runs combined with Sean's 4 touchdowns made for some good ol' smash-mouth football. David's key runs on 4th down, Brandon's decision-making and a couple of key fumble recoveries all played key roles in the victory. Looking at other conference scores, it looks like there will be a lot of parity in the SANGAMO this year. Coach Knox and the rest of the staff were sure to enjoy the victory, but I'll bet they wasted no time in starting their preparation for Riverton. The Hawks travel to Athens this coming Friday. Hopefully, I will have another great week to report on. Have a great week!
