Sectional Champions!

Congratulations to the 2008 Class A Football Sectional champions...your very own Triton Trojans! What an exciting championship game. The Trojans have now won two consecutive sectional championships and will vie for the Regional title on Friday, November 14th. The game will be played at Triton. Game time is TBA.

The girls basketball season is set to begin. However, with the Football team winning sectional, we are forced to move the game against North Judson to Thursday, November 13th in stead of November 14th. Game time will be 6:30. Please come and support your Trojans!

Fall Sports Awards

The Fall Sports Awards will be held Tuesday, November 4th. The Junior High Awards will begin at 6:15 with the High School awards beginning at 7:30. Both awards programs will be held in the High School Auditorium.

And Then There Was One...

The fall sports seasons are wrapping up. With the completion of the volleyball sectional this weekend, we are down to one fall sport left...football. The football team defeated Whiting on Friday evening 35-14. The Trojans will now face LaVille this Friday evening at 7:00. The game will be played at LaVille.

Post-Season Action

Next week begins post-season play for both volleyball and football. I wanted to make you all aware of what will be happening:

Volleyball drew South Central and will play the first match next Thursday beginning at 6:30. Pre-sale tickets are now on sale in the HS office from 8:00-3:30 and will be sold until next Wednesday. Cost for the "season" pass is $8.00 or you can purchase single session tickets at the door for $5.00

Football drew Whiting and will play next Friday evening at 7:30. The game will be played here at Triton. The cost is $5 and no pre-sale tickets will be sold.

JH Volleyball vs Jimtown

The Junior High Volleyball match this evening against Jimtown will not begin until 5:00. Due to transportation issues, Jimtown will not be able to depart until 4:00. Therefore the match will begin at 5:00.

Fall Has Arrived

There is a lot going on in the world of Triton Athletics and a lot to be proud of. It seems impossible that it is already October and the Fall sports seasons are winding down. In fact, girls golf and boys tennis have completed their seasons. Both squads were successful and I would like to congratulate them on some great performances.

Looking ahead, the boys and girls cross country teams are participating in their conference meets this week and will begin their post-season next week. These runners will compete at the Culver Academy Sectional next Tuesday, October 14. We wish them the best of luck at Sectional and beyond.

On the grid-iron the Triton football team is excited to defend their sectional crown this season. In fact, the Sectional draw for football was held last evening. The Trojans, who are currently 4-4, drew Whiting in the first round of Sectional play. The Triton Athletic Department is pleased to announce that we will be hosting round one of Sectional 33 action. This contest will be played on October 24 but game time is to be announced. Best of luck to the football team as they finish conference play with Knox and Jimtown.

Last but not least, we move indoors and take a closer look at the Big Blue Slam. The girls are finishing up NSC play next week and are anxiously awaiting their Sectional draw on October 13th. The Triton Athletic Department is pleased to announce that we will once again host this volleyball Sectional. The tournament will begin on Thursday, October 23 with the first match beginning at 6:30 and the second match immediately following. The semi-final and championship matches will be held on Saturday with the first semi-final match beginning at 12:00 and the second immediatley following. The championship game will begin at 6:00 PM.

As the leaves begin to change and the temperatures start creaping downward, the excitment of post season competition is in the air. Please continue to come out and support our Trojans and help the Triton community make this a Fall to remember.

Tennis and CC Changes

Here are a few changes for Tennis and CC:

9/25 Varsity Cross Country Meet at LaVille will begin at 5:00 instead of 4:00

9/29 Tennis vs North Judson at 5:00 will need to be moved to 9/30 at 5:00 due to a scheduling conflict with North Judson.

Junior High Football...

The junior football team will play at Urey tomorrow at 4:45. Due to low numbers, the 7th grade will play one half and the eigth grade will play a full game.

A Few More Changes...

Due to a lack of numbers at LaVille, the Boys and Girls JH CC meet against LaVille on 9/25 has been canceled.

Also a change for this winter: The Girls Varsity/JV Basketball Holiday tourney is listed on the Corporation calendar as being on January 2-3 and the Boys Varsity/JV Basketball Holiday tourney is listed on the calendar as being December 26-27. These two should be switched so that the Girls Tourney is 12/26 while the Boys tourney is January 2-3. This was a contractual error between all schools involved. Sorry for the confusion!
