News for the Week of Nov. 19, 2012

Program Notes for the Week of 11/19/2012:

Over the next few weeks we will recap the past season with awards, stats and other fun facts. This week let's recap the Lorain County All Star Game:

Lorain County All Star Game:
This game was played this past Saturday 11/17 at Midview High School. Representing the Shoregals were seniors Christine Gates, Kailey McClain, & Claire Jones and they shined a very positive light on our program.  Claire Jones scored 3 goals in a six minute span of the 1st half to lead her Red team to a 5-4 victory over the Blue team. Kailey McClain assisted on Jones' third goal and Christine Gates played her usual reliable defense.  A nice way to close out their careers on a high note!
