Our Special Olympics team competed in their Regional tournament over the weekend. They won their first game against D128 Storm, 36-14, and advanced to the Gold/Silver Round. Their second game was against Crystal Lake Central Orange, and although our Bulldogs trailed for the first three quarters, they came back to win 37-34 with several three-pointers from James Meeks, Rio Prayaggo, and Julien Tennyson. With this exciting win, the team is heading to State and will compete at ISU March 7-9. Good luck, Bulldogs!

Athletic Announcements

Boys Basketball

Over the weekend, the program hosted Grayslake Central, and Varsity took down the Rams 52-37. Not only did they add a win to their record, but they took down the top team in our conference! The Sophomore team also earned a win and kept their undefeated conference record going.

This week, the program traveled to Lakes and earned themselves a program sweep - keep it up, Bulldogs!

December Recognitions

Congratulations to our December Athletes of the Month & Sportsmanship winners!

Athletes of the Month: Landon Enters (Boys Basketball), Sienna Enters (Girls Basketball), Kyle Hobson (Boys Bowling), Kyleah Baker (Girls Bowling), Katelyn Lantz-Werner (Cheer), & Linna Hidrogo (Dance)!

Sportsmanship Winners: Cameron Houghton (Boys Basketball), Christina Obisesan (Girls Basketball), Logan Knuth (Boys Bowling), Kaitlyn Bartlett (Girls Bowling), Ava Spectre (Cheer), & Fiona Carlson (Dance)!

These Bulldogs have put in 100% effort since their winter season started and have been great representations of their program. From day one of their winter season, these Bulldogs have shown a great deal of respect for their coaches, teammates, and opponents. No matter how intense a practice or match may get, they put their best foot forward and bring a positive attitude with them every day. We look forward to seeing them achieve even more, on and off the court/floor/mat, through the end of the year and beyond!

Girls Bowling

This past weekend, the Girls Bowling program hosted their annual invite and had a great day on the lanes. JV secured a 2nd Place finish and had three Bowldogs earn individual honors. Congratulations to Karis Packard for taking 6th, Viviana Cordero for taking 8th, and Aspen Johnson for taking 10th.
