Lunch today is cheeseburger, sweet potato waffle fries, pickle slices, peaches Get your device ready for today’s college trivia question. The first student to email Ms. Powers the correct answer, will be called to the office for a prize: Boys Varsity Soccer falls to ranked Kalamazoo Christian 2 - 5. The Watervliet Boy’s Team traveled away to ranked K. Christian this past Wednesday evening. The team was facing some injuries and had to make adjustments in the lineup. In the first half, both teams battled each other in the midfield and weren't really allowing each other to have clear position of the ball.The home team would get a goal in halfway through the half to take the lead. The second half was played the same way. K.Christian would score again, but despite going two goals down, the team would rallied up and come back to tie the game with goals from Braydon Collins and JT Isbrecht. With the score tied the Panthers continued to push forward in attack, unfortunately with too many players committed in the attack the team struggled to get back into formation and the home team were able to get themselves ahead in the scoreboard with 10 minutes left in the game. In the end the game would finish 5-2 in favor of the home team. XC RESULTS: Danny Mandujano Sets New School Record - 6 New PRs Posted at Portage Invitational.
