Grade School Gloss
The 7th and 8th Grade Soccer team lost a nail biter to St Killian 3-2 on last Saturday. Scoring for the Crusaders were Eliana BouSamra and Mark Bence. Later in the week, they found themselves up 2-0 over Divine Mercy with 16 minutes left in the game, off goals by Marco Anselmino and Mark Bence. Unfortunately, they could not hold on as Divine Mercy scored two goals to end the game in a 2-2 draw, which resulted in missing the playoffs by a hair.
John Dolan scored off a penalty kick, but it was not enough as the 5th and 6th Grade Soccer team lost 5-1 to St Kilian on Saturday. They did however make the playoffs as the third seed.
The 4th Grade Soccer team lost their first game of the season to Sacred Heart 3-0 last Sunday. The 3rd Grade Soccer team played well last Saturday. Both squads, along with multiple 1st and 2nd Grade Soccer teams compete today in end of season tournaments. Additionally, our 7th and 8th Grade Girls' Soccer team competes in an end of season tournament, with hopes of another championship. Good luck all!
Zoe Solomond, Grace Bond, and Lucille McCargo scored for the 5th - 8th Grade Girls Lacrosse team, but it wasn't enough against a strong Shady Side Academy team as the girls played their final game of the season. Despite the loss, the girls improved and look forward to next year.
The Developmental Track Team competed Saturday, May 15, in the Diocesan championship with 600(!) other athletes. Earning medals were: John Paul Ferrah, Rita Donahue, Eddie Dewitt, John Henry Austin, Gabby Keverline, Mary Grace Dolan, Teresa Ravotti, Josie Donahue and D.J Word. The team made great progress over the season with some notable improvements, such as Jacqueline Wetzel and Max Predis in the 1600m and Lizzie Austin in the long jump. Judah VanVickel, Connor Donahue, Marek Paull, and Dylan Falcon, who were all new to track and field events, were valuable additions to the team. Congratulations Track and Field Crusaders!
