The Pottsville Cross Country team practices to get ready for their first meet on Friday, August 26th. They start off practice with a warm up lap and then proceed to form lines to stretch before they take off for their run. Junior Madison Eroh said, “I think overall summer practices went very well. We all worked so hard these past few months, even if we had to wake up at the crack of dawn and run in 90 degree weather everyday. I’m so excited for the season to start and I can’t wait to see all of our hard work pay off!”Seniors of the boys soccer team hold up cutouts of their heads at their last game of the season.

But at the end of the night I was so blessed to walk out and stand with my parents and know that they were proud of me. Making my team and family proud was one of the best feelings and I will never forget that”.The drone flies over the band as they perform script tide at band camp.
