Girls Bowling Coaches Corner
This last week has been a whirlwind.
We competed in the Vernon Hills S”No”w Tap tournament this last weekend. JV slayed the competition taking 2nd place with individual winners Anna Kuznetsova (3rd place) and Paige Winters (4th place). Varsity earned 6th place out of 18 teams.
On Monday, we competed against Warren for first place. At the end of 3 games, we lost two points but gained 7, leaving MHS as #1 in the conference. Our JV team is a force to be reckoned with. Their scores were comparable to Varsity scores only a few years ago and are tearing a part of the competition. Shout out to the entire MHS Girls Bowling Team for remaining cool and slaying the competition.
Girls Gymnastics Coaches Corner
Thank you to all our seniors and their parents for years of commitment.
