E SPORTS
eSports marches on! The following teams have made the playoffs:
Mario Rivals Gold
Mario Rivals Blue

The High School eSports team had a phenomenal Spring Season. We have five teams competing this season and four made the playoffs. The fifth team was not eligible for postseason play due to CHSAA's one team/school rule. We are so proud of this group. The team was a good mix of solid veteran players and talented underclassmen.
This is very bittersweet as our Seniors were Freshmen when CHSAA introduced eSports.

GIRLS GOLF
Girls Golf competed in a tournament at Lone Tree this week.
Freshman golfers are scarce in Metro League varsity tournament play -- however, Mandy Britt is increasingly showing the league that the STEM girls' golf team has a pretty good youth movement on the way.
In Monday's tournament hosted by St. Mary's at Lone Tree Golf Club, Britt paced four Spartans golfers with a score of 118, highlighting a successful tournament all around for the team on a positively radiant spring day.
Playing at the same course that will host the State Tournament in mid-May, STEM's golfers got a sense of what an 18-hole walk over a lengthy course will feel like when crunch time arrives as the season continues to progress. The ample cherry blossoms and piercing sunshine also gave the day an early-summer feel.
Sophomore Ryann Vanderhye handled the course admirably in her varsity debut for the season, completing her round with a score of 122. Junior Rowan LaRose (124) and sophomore Leah Hunt (128) rounded out the scoring on the day for the Spartans.
STEM will next compete on Tuesday, April 7th in a varsity event at Broadlands Golf Course in Broomfield, which will be hosted by Jefferson Academy.
BOYS VOLLEYBALL
GIRLS SOCCER
Girls Soccer had another busy week. The varsity defeated Clear Creek and William Smith. The JV defeated Front Range Christian. Great week to be a Spartan soccer player!
Next week the team starts the week out visiting Englewood on Monday and hosts Loveland on Wednesday.
