Tuesday, September 24th: JV Girl’s Soccer ended in a tie last week, but this week’s home game against Yelm resulted in a much better outcome.

Tuesday, September 24th: Boy’s Water Polo participated in a tournament on the 21st, and went 4-0 in the tournament, winning in dominant fashion. Unfortunately the regular season has not been as kind to the team. Currently sitting at 1-3 and in the middle of the conference, the boys finally picked up their first win. The game was at home against Stadium High School. Finding themselves down in the last few minutes Peninsula needed to kick it in gear. Four points and a team rally later Peninsula picked up their first win of the season with a final score of 8-7. Peninsula Will hit the Road against Kentridge High School On the 26th in search of their second win.

Thursday, September 26th: Boy’s Water Polo was coming off of their first win of the season at home against Stadium High School. But hitting the road against Kentridge High school brought challenges to the team, and an unfortunate outcome. Peninsula fell to Kentridge with a final score of 13-9. Peninsula has not had the greatest season in team history but there is still plenty of season left to play. Sitting at 1-4 (excluding tournament play) the Seahawks need to pick it up if they have any hopes of making this season one to remember.

Thursday, September 26th: JV Volleyball has been stride for stride with Varsity so far, actually JV has remained undefeated on the season. Well, until now.

JV also stays home on the first to host Timberline, this time at 5:45 pm.

 

Thursday, September 26th: Varsity Girl’s Soccer has had every possible outcome this season. Three wins on the season, a lone loss against North Thurston, and now the teams first tie on the year.

Thursday, September 26th: JV Girl’s Soccer looked to take the stage against Capital, the lights were on, the players were hyped, and the game was… cancelled. Perfect.

Friday, September 26th: The Friday Night Lights were on for Peninsula Football action as the Seahawks looked to defend their home turf for the annual homecoming game. This week the Seahawks took on the Shelton Highclimbers who were winless up to this point. Shelton stayed winless on the year as Peninsula was able to pull off a dominant 55-0 shutout win over Shelton. Peninsula struggled on offense in weeks one and two, but it seems that Peninsula has found their rhythm moving the ball. After putting up 38 points against North Thurston a week ago, a 55 point win supports the idea that the offense has started to get into a groove. The team hits the road on Thursday, October 3rd to take on the 1-3 Timberline Blazers. Kickoff at 7pm.
