The 7-8 grade football teams traveled to Clinton tonight. Both teams played with heart and a lot of team work! Lots to build off of!

7th grade:
A great team defense held Clinton to one first down. The Wildcats got touchdown runs from Jaxon Guenther, Jase Whelan, and Dominic Celeskey. Gavin Priest had some nice runs too. The oline dominated the trenches for the Wildcats!

8th grade
8th grade team came up short but not because of a lack of effort. Onsted came out firing in the 2nd half and played great defense, recovering a fumble and forcing another turnover on downs. Jakob Priest and Jacob Matausch led the offensive attack, both ran the ball hard.

Both teams played hard; we have a great group of young men! Keep grinding! Go Cats!

Student Voice members...don't forget to get your contract signed and hand it in to Mrs. Smith as soon as possible.

Have you heard about See You at the Pole? This is a student-led event where students from around the country gather around their school's flagpole to pray for their school, friends, families, teachers, and community.

If you'd like to participate, join us at the Onsted Middle School flagpole on Wednesday, September 23rd, before school. We will begin at 7:45 a.m.  Everyone is welcome to attend, whether you'd like to pray, listen, or simply stand in support with your classmates.

See You at the Pole is a voluntary, student-led event that allows students to come together in faith before the school day begins.

We hope to see you at the pole! Have a great day, Wildcats!
