SPORTS
Last Thursday, our school hosted SOSSA girls soccer. Our team had an outstanding performance in their first game against a tough St. Francis team. The game was intense and exciting. At the end of regular time, the score was 0-0 and headed into 20 mins of extra action, which ultimately led to a series of penalty kicks. Rylee S., Grace K, Scarlett S., and Eva B. scored. Lily R. had an outstanding performance leading into a beautiful moment with the whole school. The girls moved on to the finals and faced some obstacles. Although we didn’t get the result we wanted, the girls played with so much heart and grit never giving up. They left everything they had out on the field. We want to thank all of our supporters who came out to watch our games and showing so much Crossley Pride. We are very proud of this team and all of the growth that they had. We want to wish our graduating players all the best next year as they move on. We are already looking forward to next season - the future of girls soccer is very bright. Go Cyclones!
