Go Greenies!

Football

The Greenies lost to St. Charles Catholic in LaPlace on Friday, finishing the regular season at 8-1. The 2023 Newman squad played one of the toughest schedules in recent memory, defeating two 5A teams (Hahnville and Benton), two 4A teams (Belle Chasse and De La Salle), and the defending Division III Non-Select Champions (Many), and earned the #3 seed in the upcoming Division III Select playoffs.

Because Newman has a first round bye, the Greenies are off this Friday and plan to play their first playoff game at home on Friday, November 17 against the winner of Northlake Christian and St. Thomas Aquinas. 

Swimming

Following a successful District Meet, Newman swimmers used their week off from competition to prepare for the LHSAA State Swim Meet in Sulphur, Louisiana on November 15-16. Lifts, dryland practice and, of course, many laps in the pool, were the order of the week. 

Next week brings more preparation and a State send-off dinner before the journey to the SPAR Aquatic Facility.
