Please join us in congratulating the SGI Polar Plunge team for braving the frigid waters of Lake Erie in support of the Special Olympics of NY on December 5th! This annual fundraiser is a memorable event for our students each year, demonstrating their commitment to #InclusionAndBelonging of people with disabilities.

The varsity girls basketball team played Tonawanda on Friday night, in a league contest, and won 51-16. The girls set the tone from the start with some incredible defense. Dani Oakley led the charge defensively as she held Tonawanda's best player to 0 points on the evening. From there, the Lady Griffs executed their offense at a high level, playing with great unselfishness. Scorers on the night were:
Aubrey Roy- 20 points
Dani Oakley- 16 points
Kelcie Illig- 6 points
Lilly Enser- 3 points
Bella Sullivan- 3 points
Caroline Blidy- 1 point

The overall defense from the group was the story of the evening. Leah Franklin didn’t give an inch on her assignment, Bella Sullivan made strong plays on the ball, Brooke Ruzycki did a nice job with help defense, Kelcie Illig was a force when guarding the ball, Caroline Blidy hustled all over the court, and Lilly Enser made big-time hustle plays on the evening.

Other notable performances were Aubrey Roy scoring 9 points in one quarter and Dani Oakley getting 5 blocked shots.

The girls are back in action tonight as they play host to Wilson.
