The 6th-grade girls' basketball team ended its fantastic season at an impressive 10-2 record. A common theme in basketball is height=good basketball players. However, the girls showed this season that this is not always true, as they didn’t have a lot of height but had all the heart and hustle that they could give. Coaches Kelley Litherland and Laura James emphasized the need for aggressive play throughout the season. Coach Litherland quoted, “Coach Laura James and I consistently encouraged aggressive play, reminding the girls that it’s their decision to work harder than the other team. It’s their decision to sprint up and down the floor on every possession, to go after every loose ball, and to fight for every rebound. We may not play every game well, but we can always make a conscious decision to play hard and give 150% of ourselves.” Their two losses came to Cedar Crest, and both games were hard-fought to the very end with the second game even going into overtime. The coaches made sure to spotlight the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship. The girls kept a positive and respectful attitude toward each other, the coaches, and the referees. This group of girls supported and encouraged each other to keep the mindset, “Be Great”. The girls made a point to always remember that how you practice is how you play. This group of girls has shown they are well-equipped to take on the new opportunities and challenges that junior high brings!

Perry Central and Tell City seniors met at ATTC to complete their collaborative unit over “Tuesdays with Morrie”, and living a life of purpose. The students listened to a presentation by Natalie Gebhard of Heart to Heart Hospice about how her career fulfills her life's purpose, and by Rebecca Etienne about giving back to the community in big and small ways. The students then discussed the novel in small groups. A special thanks to Mrs. Alyssa Howe and Joyce Stath for their work. It was a great day of collaboration and learning. #good2bgreen
Congratulations to the 8th-grade girls' basketball team on an impressive performance in the Jasper tournament. The girls knocked out two great teams on their way to the championship, Forest Park (35-21) and Jasper (34-29). In the championship they had a great game beating Heritage Hills (36-28). Along with this well-deserved achievement, they brought home the Jasper tournament trophy.
Stats against Heritage Hills:
Masen Labhart 17
Kaitlyn Goffinet 9
Bryn Yeager 7
Rylee Parr 3
Coach Schraner voiced, "Heritage Hills was our only loss earlier this season so it was good to avenge that loss tonight."
Girls can do anything they want to do! That is what this team of strong young women shared with 8th grade girls thinking about career pathway options at Perry Central this past Tuesday. They shared their experiences as females in pathways that are considered non-traditional careers such as Advanced Manufacturing, Agriculture, Diesel Technology and Construction! Thanks to this team for promoting their passions and skills to others and hopefully give them the confidence to try!! #good2bgreen
