HS Soccer finished up regular season conference play with a 2-1 win at home vs Smithton. GR got on the board first when Chace Gething sent a ball past the defense and Jack Hoos beat the goalkeeper to the ball to put in the back of the net with just 5 seconds remaining in the first half. In the second half, Smithton got on the board with just over 26 minutes remaining when a ball deflected off a GR defender into the net from a corner kick. The Tigers stood firm and came back just over 4 minutes later when Jaden Xiloj took a pass from Reid Hagedorn and beat the Smithton goalie. The Smithton goalie made several saves down the stretch to keep the Tigers close while the defense stood firm and goalie Denver Bannister held off further Smithton attempts. Thank you to all those who came out and supported the team on the field as well as at the BBQ, it is greatly appreciated.

Congrats Rylee, Mya, Callie, Trenton and Gage. Way to represent the Ridge! We're proud of you!

Bus 2 had issues this morning. it is up and running, but will be late.

The Running Tigers had an excellent final meet of the season at El Dorado Springs Tuesday afternoon. The weather and course were both beautiful. The rolling hills proved a challenge for all the runners but we were not deterred. Ten out of our thirteen runners achieved season's best or personal record times on the course. This is exactly what we like to see at the end of the season! Congratulations to everyone on this accomplishment. Congrats also to Rylee Donaldson, Esther Pakhnyuk and Zoe Schelicher for also bringing home medals! 👏 We're now in the final weeks of the season. Jr. High will wrap their season this Saturday at the MS Championship at Lucas Oil Speedway. High School will compete for their bid at State at the District meet in Vandalia Saturday, November 1st. Congratulations Tigers, we're already SO proud of you!

We hope to see you at our Fall Family Night on Nov. 4!
