Yesterday the middle school track team competed at Hampden Academy. 6th grader Emily Saulmer again shined bringing in 1st in her 200m dash and 2nd in her 100m dash. 8th grader Gavin Gilbert conquered a deep field to place 1st in high jump. 8th grader David Tuttle cam in 4th in his first ever competitive discus throw and 8th grader Timothy MacNeil threw a solid 22 feet to gain 2nd place in shot put. Keep your eye out for 6th grader Hailey Marshall who came in 5th in a field of 15 for her 50m dash. Next week back to FA!

Congratulations to the boys tennis team for their win last night against Dexter. They won the match 4-1. Kobe Gilbert at first singles and Buddy Hutchins at second singles had wins for the boys. The girls lost overall 2-3 but Sydney Hutchins at first singles and Elizabeth Kendall at 2nd singles both played terrific matches and won for the girls.

I am appalled, that we have some of our own fans, here at PCHS, who feel it's okay to make negative comments toward our own athletes, when they fail to catch a ball. These are young men and woman who simply want to participate on a team with friends and make lasting memories. Please keep your negative comments to yourselves, to allow for our awesome student athletes to feel safe from negative comments at home. Go Pirates!

Due to the rising number of Covid cases in out area, ALL spectators must stay in a POD, this includes children. Children cannot be running around during games. If PODS get filled up, I will gladly paint more as needed. Thanks for understanding.

Parents of senior athlete's. The banners that are up on the baseball fence were purchased by the baseball parents. If you are interested in having this done for your senior child, at your cost, you will need to reach out to Eric Odgen to place the order. We will gladly display them for you on your child's field of play or wherever you choose.

Congratulations to Kobe Gilbert for qualifying for the tennis state singles tournament. Kobe received the 7th seed for the Northern Region and won both of his matches on Saturday to advance to the state tournament. He will be playing at Lewiston High School on Friday, May 21st.

PCHS had another good showing in Brewer today at a large meet with some big schools. Meet highlights include personal bests in the 100m for Kendall Kimball, (16.14) Samantha Goodwin, (15.47) and Molly Sipple (13.68). Molly placed 1st overall in the 100m, and qualified for States with that time. Great job by all athletes today.

Best of Luck to the following tennis players as they participate in the Region 2 Tennis Singles Regional Qualifier tomorrow. Kobe Gilbert, Buddy Hutchins, Alex Zeller, Sydney Hutchins, Elizabeth Kendall, and Sadie Davis. Go Pirates!

Positive Covid Case 5-5-21

Yesterday's tennis matches at MCI have been moved to Tuesday, May 18. Same time for dismissal and departure.

At this time, only Lee Academy is not allowing spectators at their games. Please be prepared, at the last minute, to have to mask up at any school upon their request, including here at PCHS and the Town Field. Teams are shutting down here and there, as Covid has hit many schools.

I would like to remind parents who attend our ballgames, the need to practice social distancing, in order for all to ward off Covid. At each site, there are painted pods (circles and squares) that are for you to sit or stand in. If more need to be painted on the ground, I will do that. If you choose to sit outside your vehicle at the baseball game, that would be considered your pod. Only family members should be in your pod. Thanks for understanding.
