Bob Szafranski (Glenbrook South Booster Club) sent you a message. Glenbrook South Titan Booster Club Newsletter A weekly round-up of Glenbrook South High School Athletics Poms Named Grand Champion of Titan Dance Challenge The Glenbrook South Titan Poms is off to a great start to their season. On Sunday, at the Titan Dance Challenge held at GBS, Varsity Poms took first place in both jazz and poms in the 3A division and was named Grand Champion of the 3A division. The JV Poms also showed very well, taking second in poms and third in jazz. There are videos of the performances on the Club's Facebook page. Girls Basketball The girls' varsity basketball team moved to 7-2 on the season with a 57-28 victory over Niles North. After a sluggish first quarter, the Titans outscored the Vikings 20-6 in the second stanza and 17-9 in the third to put the game on ice. Liz LaPierre led the Titans with 13 points. Lizzy Shaw added 10, Makayla Stadler scored 8, Libbie Vanderveen netted 7, and Kristin Ralston contributed 5. Annie Streb led the bench scoring with 6, Molly Sedin swished home 4, and Challen Flaws and Janet Watson had a basket apiece. The victory lifted the Titans to 2-1 in the conference race. Earlier in the week, the Titans were defeated by Evanston 54-31. Lizzy Shaw scored ten and Makayla Stadler contributed 9. The girls have a busy week with Glenbard East at home on Tuesday, an away game at New Trier on Thursday, and a Saturday matinee at Conant. Boys Basketball Boys Basketball beat Hersey 42-38 on Saturday, Dec 9, at the United Center. Junior Will King led the way for the Titans with 17 points and added three assists and two rebounds. While his coach praised him with the team’s success against the Huskies, King couldn’t help but making sure his teammates received all the credit. “My teammates made it really easy for me,” King told the Glenview Lantern. “It’s all credit to them because they made my job much easier.” The United Center offers some available dates when it can host high school game before a Bulls game in the evening. GBS coach Phil Ralston saw both his team and Hersey were open on one of the available days, so it made sense for both coaches to provide their kids the afternoon of a lifetime. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime dream,” Ralston said. “It’s nice that our kids had this opportunity.” Junior Gavin Morse added eight points and five rebounds.
