New Announcements:    

You just don’t leave a Simley Girls volleyball match until the final point is scored. After defeating Two Rivers on Wednesday night 16-14 in the fifth set, the Spartans took on perennial conference champion North St. Paul on Thursday’s Senior night. The crowd was phenomenal and loud and just what Simley needed after dropping the first two sets. The players may have had some doubt, but the crowd never gave up and supplied the excitement and energy the players needed to mount their best comeback of the season. The Spartans looked each other in the eye, realized it was time to just compete, and 90 minutes later after two great digs by Joana Jimenez and Avery Renslow, a perfect set by Lauren Tuccitto, a blast down the line by Naomi Romslo put an exclamation point on the 23-25, 20-25, 25-20, 25-20, 15-10 thrilling come from behind victory. It was a true team victory as every player contributed mightily. Thursday’s win moved the Spartans to 5-1 in the Metro East. A special thanks to the “7th Player” who gave Simley Girls volleyball its biggest and loudest crowd of the season and helped give this special group of Seniors a night to remember. 

 

The Girls Swim & Dive Team had an Explosive Last Dual Meet of the season against North St. Paul!  The Spartans crushed the Polars with a score of 97-66 and exhibitioned the last 3 events. They won every single event.  This weekend the Swim & Dive Team will be competing at True Team Sections.
