Week of October 21, 2013

Please fill-out and bring in your Fall Sports Banquet Form to the A.D. MONDAY!  If you already deleted the email, its posted on the website as well.

Saturday was a fine day for SJA cross country.  With a 2^nd place finish at districts, the team has qualified to the regional meet for the first time in 3 years (its something we used to do every year and take for granted).  The team – all of you – rose up to the occasion the way we have for so many years.  I was proud to wear SJA colors and I was proud of all the runners, supporters, and family who were part of the District Runner-up trophy.  Congratulations!

The work is not over!  The JV has a meet Monday and the varsity runs again this Saturday at the Boardman regional.  There are 4 regionals in the state, each with 16 teams.  That means there are 64 teams left in the state now.  The top 4 from each region gets to go to the state meet.

The plan for this week…
