Unfortunately, some swimmers have been forced to take a backseat due to illness. However, spirits are high from both athletes and coaches as they enter the postseason.
Girls’ basketball (9-7, 5-3)
A senior-less roster was never a problem for the Bulldogs. Our girls’ basketball team has not only garnered a record-breaking year, but also has stepped up in terms of their overall leadership and prowess within the Federal League. While losing tough battles against top-ranked opponents–Magnificat and Jackson–they still have kept up with the competition. Jenna Slates, ‘25, has broken not only the career steals record, but has also broken the record for most career rebounds. With five games left (as of publishing), the ‘dogs have no intentions of letting up.
Boys’ basketball (10-3, 5-2)
After a relatively late-start to their schedule, the boys’ basketball team racked up ten wins to catch up. They’ve since broken even in their series against Jackson, and had four-or-less point losses to Brunswick and McKinley. Brady Rollyson ‘24 has since achieved 1,000 total career points after playing varsity minutes since his Freshman year, and strong defenders in Luke Jansen ‘24 along with Jarrett Taylor ‘24 have brought more total possessions than ever before. Head coach Mark Kinsley has seen himself surpass 400 total wins in his coaching career, adding to the accolades the 23-24 season has strung along.
Dance
In the current dance season, the team has astounded audiences with captivating performances at pep rallies and basketball games. They’ve not only emphasized teamwork in their routines, but also improvement with every performance. Recently, at regionals, they navigated through various dance styles. These include: Pom, Kick, Hip-Hop, Jazz, and Lyrical. They ended up securing qualification in all categories. Looking forward, they’ll compete in the state competition on January 28th at Heath High School.
