Boys Varsity Soccer vs Shortridge - Win (4-4, 5-4 Penalties) - In what can best be described as a back and forth match the score was 1-0 in favor of the Blue Devils at the half. However, the 2nd half did not disappoint as the Gryphons rallied to keep pace with their opponent the entire game and at the end of regulation play the score was 3-3. Since this was a conference match, the game could not end in a tie so the match went to two 7 minute periods where both teams scored a goal apiece leaving it still undecided. This meant the game would be decided in penalty kicks. It was a tense time as each player faced the opponents goalie. All five of the Gryphon PK's made it past the keeper while only 4 Shortridge attempts made it past Keeper Arjun Bhattal, giving our Gryphons a well deserved win.
Grade 7 & 8 Volleyball vs Orchard School - Win (25-23, 18-25, 15-10) - Great game! The Gyphons were up to the challenge. They have improved in their passing to each other. They are connecting as a team and it showed in their playing.
Girls Varsity Volleyball vs Traders Point Christian School - Loss (25-10, 29-27, 25-21) - This by far was our best complete game thus far, with the exception of the 1st set. The ladies fought hard and played together. They are getting better each time they get on the court.
