• The 1st quarter Spikeball tourney is moving right along.  The homecoming king and queen have spiked their way into the quarterfinals vs. Londyn and Grady.  In the other quarter final Patrick and Shane defeated Mario and Zach to advance to the Semifinal.  This is a 17 team double elimination tournament so there are some teams to keep an eye on out of the losers and consolation brackets like Rooney and Will who barely lost the king and queen and Josie & Kailey who narrowly fell to Patrick and Shane.  Next Friday ASB will hold a draw party which is a random draw Spikeball tourney so if you missed this one sign up with Mr. Gilliam by Thursday for the next one.
