9/30/2024- Chase Preston

In our last 2-meet week, Chase Preston continued his excellent freshman season.  He continues to be focused and give great effort, and his performances reflected that.

 He ran a really good race on Tuesday, setting a new school record on our course with a time of 20:22.  

 Then on Homecoming in a race against Jersey Shore, he showed his amazing maturity in one of the best executed races we've seen in a while.  Jersey Shore's lead runners went out fast.  Chase wasn't fazed.  He passed on of the 2 Bulldogs about halfway through the race and gradually reeled in the lead runner.  He finally caught the leader with a little under a quarter of a mile left.  The two runners battled the rest of the way, and in thrilling fashion Chase recorded his first career win by just one second and only a few feet.  This performance helped our varsity boys pick up a tight 27-30 win to start Homecoming off the right way.

Congrats to Chase!

She finished 3rd overall on Tuesday at Wellsboro. She led the girls to a close victory over the host Hornets as this young squad now stands at 3-3 on the season.

9/16/2024- Grace Zelewicz
The Lady Griffin soccer team coaches would like to nominate Grace Zelewicz as player of the week.  Grace stepped up her play this week showing grit and determination in a tough game against Muncy.  She fought throughout the game to assume control of the ball, making some great plays to her teammates.  In action against Northumberland Christian Saturday, Grace took on a couple of different positions with optimism and enthusiasm.  She scored her first goal of the season and assisted August Harney on another goal.  Great job Grace and keep up the good work.
