JH Soccer got a hard fought 3-2 win over Stover at home on Tuesday evening. Cole Chappell was in goal and had 10 saves. Clay Goodman, Alex Diaz, and Matvii Nochka each scored one goal apiece. Layton Tyler, Ivas Lemanski, and Clay Goodman all had assists. Overall it was a very good team effort for the victory. JH next plays Thursday at home against Sacred Heart following the Varsity game which starts at 5pm.

From Mrs. Dove: "Mrs. Johnson’s 3rd graders were given the challenge to build a bridge that could hold as many “spiders” (linking cubes) as possible. They could only use two cups, some yarn and masking tape. T.A.’s Nicole Rounds and Izaiah Lemanski even got in on the fun!"

From Mrs. Anderson: "The Entrepreneurship Class is proud to announce the Grand Opening of The Tigers Den! They have been working hard on bringing their vision of a school store to life! We will have snacks and spirit items available. Apparel is coming soon! October 1 will be opening day!"

Our Running Tigers endured a very wet and muddy race Saturday at the Smith-Cotton XC Invitational. Despite the more challenging course both Lily Viebrock and Evee Porter ran faster than the week prior. Callie Knoerschild finished strong in her debut race of the season. On the Jr. High side both Mya Edington and Angelica Georgiyev were impressive in their first ever cross country race. Angelica finished in the top half of the pack and Mya medaled, finishing 9th out of 44 runners! 👏 Great job Tigers!!

Varsity soccer suffered a loss 1-5 to visiting Crocker on Friday evening. After allowing 2 quick goals, the Tigers managed to put one in when Wyatt Crawford finished off a direct kick from Max Tylar. Crocker countered with 3 more goals before half. The second half was a bit more balanced with both teams holding off attempts from their opponent. The Tigers are back in action at home Tuesday vs Stover to open conference play.

Ronnie built a new spotlight for the flag at the soccer field. He and Bobby mounted the spotlight and flag for the new soccer season that is underway. Bobby captured this great photo after they completed the job! Thanks fellas for all you do! It looks amazing!

Things are looking up at Green Ridge R8!

Lady Tigers Volleyball has had quite the week of competition!   Their journey started last Saturday when they traveled to Hickman High School in Columbia and competed in pool play.  Lady Tigers were matched up with Class 3 and Class 4 school and finished the day 1-7 in pool play, splitting sets with Fatima.   They returned to the court Monday at home, losing to district foe Appleton City in 3 sets.  Freshman Alayna Brosch led with 7 aces and 7 kills.  Senior Mallory Reed scrambled for 11 digs, and Senior Sydney Gordon finished with 11 assists. Tuesday night, the Lady Tigers lost to district foe Chilhowee in 3 sets in their first match of the Tri.  Junior Emery Cannon controlled the floor leading with 3 aces, 13 kills,  1 block, and 19 digs.  Reed dished out 20 assists for the match. Lady Tigers then went on to beat Sacred Heart in their first Kaysinger match of the season.  A trio of hitters led by Brosch with 11 kills, along with Cannon and Gordon each with 10 kills kept the Lady Gremlins off balance.  Seniors Reed and Abby Warner served for 5 and 4 aces respectively.  Gordon added 20 assists for the night and Brosch led the defense with 20 digs in the 4-set Kaysinger win! That brings us to Thursday's night Kaysinger match with the Northwest Lady Mustangs and what a match it was!  Lady Tigers lost the first set 20-25, but then turned on the Tiger Turbo to take the next three sets 25-23, 25-20, 25-17.  Junior Emery Cannon led the team on both offense and defense with 14 kills and 19 digs.  Senior Abby Warner added 15 digs.  Mallory Reed added 7 aces and 11 assists and Brosch finished with 5 aces, 9 kills, and 14 digs.  Sydney Gordon led the setting with 17 assists and chipped in 6 kills and 10 digs.   Lady Tigers are now 2-0 in the Kaysinger with a 4-8-1 overall record.  They are getting a well-deserved break and will return to action on Monday taking on another district foe Osceola at home in Green Ridge with a 5:30 start time.  Theme for Monday's match-up is "White Lies"!  Hey Rah Tigers

From Miss Hilt: "In Anatomy, students worked in groups to construct a 3-D model of an organ of their choice. They then had to present their model to the class and explain the parts of the organ and the functions it has in the body. One group constructed a stomach model and one group constructed a brain! They turned out great!"

From Miss Hilt: "To prepare for the hot air balloon, physical science learned about how hot air balloons float and why hot air rises. After learning about the processes, we made our own small-scale hot air balloon!"
