Spring Season Wrap up

In just five days, high school athletes and their parents will be enjoying an awards banquet at Shady Maple.  Doors will open at 5:30 pm for appetizers and dinner will be at 6:00 pm.  A big thanks to the Conestoga Athletic Booster Club for covering nearly half of the cost.  If you are not attending and would like to know who received awards at this banquet, check back next week for a complete list.

It is hard to believe that all sports have now completed their seasons.  Baseball finished its season under the lights vs. West-Mont Christian with a 2 - 0 win.  Senior Tyler Greenly pitched a complete game, striking out 11 for the win.  The Cougars finished the season with a 6-9 record.  This record tripled the number of wins they had in their inaugural season last year.

CCS track and field athletes competed at the CCAC league meet on Thursday, May 7.  Together they placed in over 15 events; a detailed list will be posted soon.

The girls lacrosse team finished their season with a 20-10 win at Harrisburg Christian School.  It has been exciting to see the girls lacrosse program grow in skills on the field as well as numbers.  This spring the girls played 4 JV games, winning 3 and losing the fourth by 1 goal.

Did you know that 4 CCS athletes are planning to play a sport at the collegiate level?

Becca Beiler and Hannah Thompson both plan to attend Lancaster Bible College and play volleyball and lacrosse.  Summer Stoltzfus will be attending Eastern University and playing lacrosse, while Tyler Greenly is going to attend Lancaster Bible College and play baseball.

Athletic News for 2015-16

As the spring athletic season is winding down, it is time to start thinking of the fall.  I have posted signups on the bulletin board next to the PE office.  If your son or daughter is interested in playing a fall sport, they should make sure they sign up.  By signing up, the coach will be able to communicate more effectively with both you and your athlete over the summer.

Have you registered for CCS camps or clinics?  It's not too late. See details below.

CCS is offering a full slate of summer camps to prepare your students for next year.  CLICK HERE for the camp brochure; be sure to sign up today.
