Unified Volleyball won their playoff game with a 3-0 win against Pilgrim Thursday night. They advanced to the Championships!

After a 1-1 game, Unified Volleyball lost 21-25 in the final set. They played a great Championship game! Way to go Spartans!

The Girls Soccer Team battled Portsmouth HS in the State Division Championship game last Saturday at RIC. The girls lost 5:1 but had an incredibly successful season!! These girls should be proud of ALL of the hard work!!

The Lady Spartans of Volleyball played their semi-finals game last week against Tolman. After nail biting games, Tolman took the win with a 3-1 score. We are so proud of you ladies, you had an amazing season.

Last week's Spartan Athlete of the Week is Sophomore, Drake Dumont.

Coach Damon shared, "We have selected Drake Dumont as our selection for Athlete of the Week. Drake is the definition of a team player. Drake has many talents as a Football Player, he is tough, smart, and plays with 110% effort all the time, but what sticks out the most as a Football player, Drake is the ultimate team player. This week Drake had 10 tackles, 1 QB sack, and a blocked PAT. In my 29 years of coaching high school football, I have never coached a better Person than Drake."

Way to go Drake! Huge shout out to our honorable mentions; Sadie Robitaille of Girl's Soccer and Norah Clarke and Keyliah Casasola of Tennis!!
