Attention NFL Pick Em: Thank you to everyone who comes in and helps grade sheets on Wednesday mornings. It was another 'upsetting' week with 8 underdogs pulling off the upset in Week 3. Dru Weinzierl was not upset though, winning for the second time in just 3 short weeks scoring 89 points. Dru, you better be on your best behavior this week because Mr. Johnson got 2nd and WOULD have won if you didn't beat him. You can check out the standings on the bulletin board or Mr. Monier's blog. If you ever question your score, please see Mr. Monier. Week 4 sheets are due by the end of the day. Good luck!
Move over Morrison - 7th Grade Greens came for the W - Leading the team with ace serves was Jaela Minnaert with 8, followed closely by Norah Kuddes with 5. Mylee Sims and Bayleigh Painter brought in 3 each! The Greens pulled it together as a team and it showed. No balls were hitting the ground on their watch! PROUD TO BE A GREEN!
The 8th grade greens volleyball team fought hard and lost in the 3rd set to Morrison last night. Emma Hofer carried the team with 18 assists and 13 aces. Charley Courson had 7 kills and Paige Sides had 11 digs. Good work last night ladies!
The Leafs cross country team ran over and through lots of fallen leaves at the Rock Island Invite last night. The girls varsity took home a 3rd place finish as a team, with Charlize Wachtel finishing in 3rd place and Annika Brumbaugh coming in at 9th place. The boys varsity team just edged out Wilson Middle School by only 2 points to take home the team championship! Kyle Wirth raced into the finish line at 3rd place, with Will Ehlert right on his heels in 4th place and Kellan Courtright in 5th place. In the open races, Hailey Olson and Baylen Poffenberger finished in the top 20 for the girls, and Miles Curcuru took home 9th place for the boys. The Leafs next compete tomorrow at the Dunlap Invitational in Peoria. Good luck Geneseo!
The 8th Grade Football Team played Washington last night. Their defense repeatedly got into the backfield making it difficult for Washington on offense. Their offense put together long scoring drives and mixed in a couple explosive plays. Geneseo won 28 to 0.
