Sports Report October 7, 2025

Members and sponsors, if you weren’t able to pick up your spirit items at the Green N White Club tent at the football games, please stop by the Athletic Office during the week to collect your gear. Thank you!

Football

The running lanes really began to open behind the collaborative blocking of the offensive linemen, including senior left tackle Corbett “Corvette” Parrino, senior right guard Henry “Big Hen” Jackson, junior left guard Brady “Baller” Magee, sophomore right tackle Emory “Wolfman” Wolfson, and freshman center Charles “Steady” Jackson. Captain Randle galloped 21 times for 110 yards and three touchdowns, including a 60-yard run to the house. Hill contributed two runs for 28 yards and sophomore Tanner Robert had a 32-yard run of his own. Randle ended up generating 337 yards of total offense for the Greenies’ second win of the season.

Defeating two previously unbeaten teams greatly improved the team’s standing, with Newman improving to become the fourth-best team in the statewide Division III power rankings, the key factor in eventual playoff seeding. The Greenies now go into a bye week to rest and heal up for the remaining four games of the regular season, all district games.

Next up is Walter L. Cohen High School in an away game on Thursday, October 16 at 7pm at Pan American Stadium. This game is the Greenies’ first district contest of the season, so attendance and participation is critically important to continuing the winning streak. Bring a crew and come out and support the Greenies!

Volleyball

Despite the loss, the varsity group showed resilience and poise under pressure. The team now stands at 14–5 overall and is currently ranked No. 3 in the Division IV statewide power rankings.

For the junior varsity teams, it was a great weekend of competition at the St. Joseph’s Academy Tournament, featuring some of the top junior varsity programs in the state. JV Green delivered an outstanding performance, earning strong wins over St. Joseph’s Academy and The Dunham School before narrowly missing a spot in the championship after a close battle with Mount Carmel Academy. The team showed great composure and toughness throughout, proving they can compete at the highest level.

For its part, JV White may have come up short in the win column, but its level of play was impressive. The JV White girls went toe-to-toe with Teurlings Catholic High School, St. Joseph’s Academy, and Vandebilt Catholic High School, challenging each opponent and even tying 22–22 before falling to eventual champion St. Joseph’s Academy. The experience against elite competition will no doubt pay off as the team continues to grow and refine its game.

This Week Ahead

• Tuesday: JV Green and Varsity will host Ursuline Academy at home in the Palaestra today, starting at 4:30pm with Varsity to follow.

• Wednesday: JV White travels to Covington High School tomorrow for a Northshore League tournament. The squad will play Fontainebleau High School at 5pm and Covington High School at 5:45pm.

• Thursday: JV Green and Varsity take on Lakeshore High School at home in the Palaestra, starting at 4:30pm, with Varsity to follow.

Swimming

The swim team did not have a meet this past week, so it is gearing for the closing of the regular season. There are just a few more meets before the District Meet and of course, the grand finale State Meet.

The next meet is at home at the Gottesman Pool this Saturday, October 11, at 10:30am. This meet is the last opportunity to see the Greenies at home in the regular season, so come out and support the swimmers. Good luck Greenies!
