The 7th grade pulled through a team effort and downed the hornets of New Lothrop tonight to increase their record to 10-1 on the season with only Lakeville remaining on Wednesday.
The 8th grade Lady Marauders didn't see things go their way to start the game, falling to a 4-16 deficit in the first quarter. All the ladies faced their gut check and started pulling together - a testament to their heart! Starting in the 2nd quarter we pulled it together defensively and went into half down 9-16. The rest of the game the ladies played their hearts out - only allowing 9 more points the rest of the way. The game finished out a marauder victory 34-25. That clinches the conference for the 8th grade at 11-0 with Lakeville to play on Wednesday.
Reminder to yearbook staff that we are meeting on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during lunch every week.
Have a terrific Tuesday! And remember, it’s always a great day to have a great day!

For our Kindness Challenge this week let’s work on making social media a force for good! A good rule of thumb for life is, never post in anger; take a breath, walk away and go and do something else for a bit. We rarely make good choices when our minds are ruled by emotion.

The 7th and 8th grade lady marauders traveled to Lakeville last night and pulled in a couple of wins to finish out the season. After a sloppy start, the 7th grade pulled it together and won - finishing out the season 10-1 (top in the league).
The 8th grade lady marauders capped off a perfect season (finishing 12-0) behind a great team effort and defensive showing against one of the best PG's in the league. It was an awesome season, and was great to see everyone of the girls make strides forward! If they continue to work hard, it should be fun to watch these ladies in HS!
