Hello Spartans..............
Good Luck to Coach Little and Coach Dvorak as they begin their 2011 Junior Varsity Basketball seasons!!!! As a season approaches, ALL parties are very excited to get into the "Game Day Mode", looking forward to the competition! The games during the JV seasons are very compacted due to the few number of dates available for games!
J.V. seasons begin with their first games on Tuesday; November 15th, and conclude......without a post-season tournament......on Wednesday; December 15th !!!!
Varsity rosters for basketball have been announced, with practices to-be-scheduled during late-November and early-December. Gym availability is always an issue, but, due to the cooperative efforts of Mrs. Schultz (PV), Mr. Dvorak, and Dr. Tiede, our varsity will be able to get a number of practices in!!!!
In class, we have begun our units on Volleyball and Bowling, as well as phase 2 of Weight-Training in 6th grade. Our 7th and 8th grade classes will be taking their annual Bowling field-trips to the alleys in Bolingbrook this week....(7th grade on Thursday and 8th grade on Friday).
On a final note, I would like to send out a THANK YOU to all of the individuals in District 66 who have followed the Football Mustangs of D.G.S. this season. Our Varsity went down in defeat last Saturday night to a VERY talented Bolingbrook Raiders squad, 47-19. The quarterback for the Raiders (Junior Aaron Bailey) has received scholarship offers from all the Big 10 schools, as well as many others around the country. Anyone who witnessed the game came away knowing he was the "Real Deal"..........and a very fine individual off the field! The Mustangs finished their season with an overall record of 10 wins and 2 losses!!!!
Have a great week, and ...................................
GO SPARTANS!!!!!!!!!!!! PLAY HARD!!!!!!!!!
Coach Dodd
