Senior Night for the CHL Slayers

Tuesday, October 8th is Senior Night for the Volleyball team.  The team would love to get a good crowd there for the game vs. Deer Park. To date, since their freshman year in 2010, this group of seniors have gone undefeated in CHL play. With 3 matches left, they are looking for a 4-peat as CHL champs!!

Thanks to Matt Maxwell for the heads-up.

Cross-Dressing for a Cure?

Deb Varland recapped the Soccer family's cancer fundraiser on Sunday, September 29th.

Thank you for all the support for Sunday’s Kick for A Cure fundraiser. The weather mostly cooperated and everyone who attended seemed to have a great time! It was awesome seeing all the kids gathered on the field together!

We still have large and extra large shirts available that we will be selling at the last few girls and boys home games as well as the cupcakes so we don’t have a final $$ number yet. However, I'm pretty sure we will surpass last year’s successful effort. Great job!

Thank you to everyone who helped grill, bake, sell shirts, organize, referee, etc. etc. etc. And thank you to the boys’ soccer team and their parents who were a huge help!

A Three Hour Tour

Carol Leish wanted to send "A HUGE THANK YOU to an incredible group of trusty workers who plowed through the crowds by serving for three solid hours during the Homecoming Game on Friday.  Unfortunately it was so busy that night that picture taking was forgotten.  Thank you to Chris Schneider who managed to keep the popcorn popping and to fill those annoying bags; Misty Maxwell, Kelly and Scott Clark, Trista Jones Manigault, Heather Kripal, Lynn Larson and Pam Coyle-Toerner who served customers non-stop with a smile (well, usually); Jenny Schneider, Melissa Kadish, Bob Walker and Phoebe Brown-Klug who wrapped those dogs and burgers as well as passed the pizza slices and Chick-Fil-A’s.  Of course, thank you also to our trusty griller crew, Paul Klug, Doug Krekeler, Skip Koesterman and Jim Leish who kept the coals fired up and the burgers and dogs grilled to perfection!  Doug Krekeler even went back on Sunday to repair the wobbly gas grill.  Now that is dedication and kindness!  If you know any of these volunteers, please take a moment to thank them for their hard and exhausting work."

 

And since she refuses to say it, we will...

A big Thank You, too to Carol Leish!

The Great Eight

Tuesday, October 1st, the Boys' Varsity Soccer team demolished Deer Park and Jen Hays passed on the following good word.

 

The Wyoming Men’s Varsity soccer team pounded Deer Park last night.  The game saw goals from Toby Varland (2 goals), Ivan Meisner (1 goal), Andrew Derge (2 goals) and Ryan Derge (3 goals).  Deer Park did happen to get 1 ball in the net in the second half. However, Cowboys were WAY victorious with a final score of Wyoming 8 – Deer Park 1.

 

Next game is Saturday, at Seven Hills High School.  JV plays at 5:00 pm.  Varsity plays at 7:00.

 

Go Cowboys!

Sometimes Your Up

Bob Carter sent in the following report from the Boys JV Soccer teams week.

The Boys JV soccer team split a pair of  matches this week.

On Monday (9/30), the Cowboys took on big D1 power St. Xavier (away). While the Cowboys got on the board first, St. X kept the pressure on and, by the middle of the second half, St. X was up 3-1.  But the JV team kept their composure and closed the gap to be down only one goal with a couple of minutes left.  The team took several shots on goal in the closing minute of the game but, unfortunately, the game ended with a Cowboy loss of 3-2.

 

The following day (10/1), the Boys JV soccer team traveled to Deer Park to take on the Wildcats. The team certainly bounced back from their loss the day before by going up 2-0 at the half. The Cowboys kept at it and scored 5 more goals in the second half, for a final winning score of 7-0.  (A tip of the hat to Deer Park: their team played with only two subs, so their boys played almost the entire time without rest.)

 

Next up: the Boys JV soccer team plays Seven Hills (away) on Saturday (10/5).

 

Thanks to Bob Carter for the report and the great shots of our Boys in Blue.

V for Victory, W for Wyoming at X for Xavier

Coach Glendenning filled us in on the High School Cross Country team's great weekend at the St. X Invitational meet on Saturday, September 28th.

We had a great day of races.  The girls started it off with one of their best performances of the season, finishing 5th among 19 schools.  Katie Spray finished 10th overall in a time of 21:02, leading our team.  The boys followed with a team victory.  Ben Stites was 2nd and Ian Goertzen 6th--both earning appearances on the medal podium.  The entire team received their trophy from 2012 800m Olympian Duane Solomon.  We are off from competition this weekend and return to action on 10/12 at the CHL meet at Sharon Woods.

Thanks to Coach Glendenning for the report.

T is for Taylor, and Thwarted, and Tanked, and Tamed

The following is an excerpt from the Wyoming Sports Report re-cap of Friday, September 27th's 54-12 trouncing of the Taylor Yellowjackets.

...The fourth quarter saw two TDs from the best QB family since the Mannings, with a 65-yard pass to Junior Oliver Reinecke from Will Marty, as well as backup Andrew Marty's first varsity TD pass to Reinecke again for 17 yards. Wyoming finished the game with 386 yards of total offense and had a running dominant game plan, although being very efficient on passing plays, with 50% of their completions resulting in TDs.

Can you ever get tired of seeing pictures of the opposing team's quarterback (#16) being sacked?

In the name of Art and Science, Taylor's defense kindly gave our photographers plenty of chances to see if we can get this age-old question answered.

 

Thanks to Jack Mariani and the Wyoming Sports Report for the except.
