Lady Tigers Regular Season Update! Lady Tiger volleyball finished the regular season schedule in a flurry!  After claiming the 4th place finish at the Kaysinger Conference tournament in Cole Camp, the Lady Tigers went on to beat Tipton and Otterville in the regular season schedule. They then travelled to the Versailles Invitational tournament where they finished 2nd in their pool with a tie against Marshall, a win against Linn, and a loss to Versailles.  In the first round of tournament play, Lady Tigers faced Hallsville and lost in 2 sets. With only a day of rest on Sunday, Lady Tigers returned to the practice gym early Monday morning to prepare for the final scheduled match against Smithton.  And what a night of volleyball.  Junior Varsity started the night off with a 26-28 1st set loss and continued the fight in the second set before losing 17-25 behind Abby Warners's 5 kills.  Jellisa Atwood added 4 kills and Mallory Reed serviced for 3 aces. In the Varsity match, Lady Tigers played an exciting defensive match keeping balls alive and transitioning to offense.  Neveah Washington led the team with 17 kills and Kayley Goodman found kills down the line swinging for 8 kills.  Matti Mergen, Santana Rivas, and Nevaeh all served for 4 aces each.  Neveah also led the defense with 15 digs.  Setters Matti Mergen and Sydney Gordon dished out 17 and 14 assists respectively. The Varsity team finished the regular season with an overall record of 16-13-2 and was 7-3 in the Kaysinger Conference.  CONGRATULATIONS on a well-played season of volleyball!  Now they move into the post-season District play on Thursday night taking on the Lincoln Cardinals at 7:00pm in Osceola.  Let's Go Tigers!!

Activities for today: Ava Needy is representing golf today in the second round of the state tournament in Columbia. The round has been pushed back to 11 due to the cold weather.

Kaysinger Conference JH Tournament Update: Rule change for moving forward tomorrow- any match that moves to the third set will be played to 15 instead of previous 25.

The Kaysinger JH Volleyball Tournament has been postponed for tonight due to power outage. The teams that were to play at 6 pm tonight (Windsor, Smithton, Tipton and Lincoln) will play at 8 a.m. tomorrow morning. The new, adjusted bracket will be sent out to schools and posted on our page when it is completed. Thank you for your understanding!

Congratulations to Wyatt Tucker (Elem) and Joshua Birch (JH/HS) for being selected as Green Ridge students of the month for September! Wyatt is a great role model for other students. He works hard to be safe, respectful, and responsible. He follows school and classroom rules. He treats teachers and students with respect by listening in class and not disturbing others. He consistently turns his work in on time and is always willing to help others. Josh has made great strides in his attitude, willingness to assist, and his interactions with other students. Josh has impressed me with his maturation as a young man. We have observed Josh outside of the normal school day (helping with concession stands, coming to extracurricular activities, etc.) and he has been more than willing to help students and staff do tasks around school.

Tiger Vibes! Lady Tiger Volleyball has had a busy 2-weeks!  For a quick catch-up, Lady Tigers wrapped up last week's schedule in Concordia on Wednesday and then at home Thursday against Northwest.   In Concordia, JV started the night with a thriller 2-set loss 23-25, 27-29 led by Mallory Reed with  6 kills and 2 aces.  Varsity continued the energy playing a high-intensity match, but lost 23-25, 19-25, 21-25 with Kelsey Buxton leading the way with 8 kills and 2 aces.   Thursday night in Green Ridge, Lady Tigers struggled to find a rhythm.  JV brought the excitement with a 3-set loss, combined with some lineup woopsies from the coaches, it kept everyone guessing!  Varsity lost in 3 sets to the Northwest Mustangs 15-25, 19-25, 20-25  behind Kayley Goodmans 8 kills. Saturday brought us the Green Ridge Fall Showdown for JV teams to duke it out!  Lady Tigers JV played 5 pool play matches in round robin before losing their semi-final match to Tipton.  But then powered through Crest Ridge JV to take 3rd place. Tuesday Night PINK-OUT was a huge success!  Thanks to all the parents and community folks that donated and assisted to make the night special.  The icing on the cake was Varsity's win over the Cole Camp Blue Birds 25-17, 25-23, 20-25, 25-15.  Nevaeh Washington led the way with 16 kills and 5 aces.  The balanced offense had help from Kayley Goodman with 10 kills, Kelsey Buxton, 9 kills and Emery Cannon 8 kills. Sydney Gordon and  Goodman each added in 4 aces from the serving line.  Gordon (15 assists) combined setting duty with Matti Mergen (23 assists) to keep the offense rolling.  Washington and Goodman had a busy night on defense with Washington finishing with 27 digs and Goodman 18 digs.  Great job Lady Tigers! Tonight - Varsity travels to Cole Camp for the Kaysinger Conference pool play rounds against Tipton, Otterville, and Sacred Heart!  Hey Rah Tigers!
