Good Morning. It’s Wednesday, October 26, 2022
Congrats to the volleyball team, boys soccer team and girls soccer team for all qualifying for the Class 4A playoffs on Tuesday. The volleyball team won its play-in game to advance while the soccer teams both earned automatic berths based on their conference finishes and high OSAA rankings. Coming up Saturday, I’ll venture to guess that both cross-country teams will be heading to state as well out of the home district meet.
Thanks for reading!
