On Wednesday the Wrestlers ran into a very tough Walt Clark team. Despite a 60-22 loss there were several bright spots. Drake Engelking, Kaley Barker and Braden Perkins all won by decision and Elijah Moya, Anthony Diaz and Steven Klinger all won by pin. Good job keep up the hard work!

The following wrestlers placed for the Mountain View Wrestling club over the past weekend. Getting 1st place were Mike Felton and Drake Engelking, both 6th graders, and Braden Parker and Justin Phillips placed 2nd, while Kaley Barker and Braden Perkins placed 6th. Great job, there is still time to join up for wrestling, just get the athletic packet filled out and join in.
Wrestling begins today after school school. You may not participate without a completed packet. Turn in to Mr. Luthman, only, in Room 43.
Today starts the 2nd semester and Girls basketball try-outs after school. Athletic packets need to be complete before you can compete. They need to be approved by only Chris Sexton during the day and Gene Luthman before or after school. Coaches will have a list of athletes.
The Boys Varsity Basketball Banquet is scheduled for this Wednesday @ 6:00pm. The 6th graders bring a main dish, the 7th grade a side dish and the 8th grade a dessert. It is a Dress-Up affair and if you haven’t turned in your uniform, bring it that night as well. It was a great season and its time to celebrate your effort on the court.
All three Boys Varsity Basketball teams made it to the conference championship game over the weekend. The 8th grade Thunderbird team made it as back-to-back champions of the Northern Conference with a 49-46 win over Windsor in the Semi-final game and repeated that performance with a 49-46 championship win over Walt Clark for the 2nd year in a row. The championship team consists of Jose Orrantia, Dennis Landry, Dallen Cook, Taven Whitehurst, Alec Pacella, Dakota Sedillo, Dylan Petersen, Chase Arnaud-Pacillo, Ramon Salgado, Brenton Emmons and Tim Lenhart. They have earned the right to have a Banner placed in the T-Bird gymnasium.
The 6th and 7th grade teams got to the championship game but were not as successful. The 6th Grade T-Bird team reached the finals by defeating the Severance Hawks 44-28. They were defeated by that same team in their first game of the year by a score of 45-29. The championship game did not end as well as the Cougars of Clark defeated them 44-29. The 7th grade lost a barn-burning shootout 71-68. They trailed by 20 points in the 1st half and made a remarkable comeback to take the lead but then lost by three. They finished their season with an outstanding 9-3 record.
Congratulations to the 6th grade boys basketball team on their opening round win over Bill Reed last night 40 – 31. They jumped out to a 10-4 lead in the first and expanded that to 31-12 after 3 quarters. John Benedict, Brexton Butcher and Shane Lindsay led the team on offense and defense. They now go on to play Severance on Saturday in a semifinal match-up. Good luck!
