STUDENT OF THE WEEK

Mr. Glover chose Sarah A. as our student of the week. He chose Sarah because she has an outstanding attitude every day in band. She is always prepared for rehearsal and is developing into an excellent flute player.

LACROSSE

Tonight was the last Jr. High lacrosse game of the season.  It was a double header against Chelsea.  Game one was a very good battle with Chelsea taking a small lead then keeping it through the rest of the game with the final score being Chelsea 11 and Bedford 5.  Chase B. played an outstanding game in goal keeping the game as close as it was.  Scoring for Bedford were Joel R., Josh G. and Kyle C. each with 1 and Caden F. with 2 goals.  Assists tonight were had by Joel R., Jack M. and Jacob W.

Game 2 started off much better with Bedford and Chelsea being tied towards the end of the 1^st quarter.  Chelsea was caught on their heels as Bedford had a 3 man advantage and were pushing to go to goal.  A timeout was called by Chelsea at which point they forfeited the rest of the game.  The 2 teams came together at the center of the field and the game was over.

For those who came out to support us this year we want to thank you for that.  We look forward to your support next year as well.
