GMS Girls Basketball

This year Gorham Middle School Girls Basketball team was great. They dazzled from town to town winning 10 out 16 of games. Captains, Emilee and Diana, really pumped up the players and audience with some cheers before each game. IE: the song "Ain’t No Mountain High Enough" sung by The Supremes and they cheered, " What time is it? Game Time! 1,2,3, HUH!" Although the team lost the tournament this year, their spirits stood high and they carried on. Their leading players were Christa, scoring 142 points, Brianna, scoring 105, and Diana, scoring 88. The leading foul shooters were Brianna with 53 percent, Christa with 38 percent, and Alexsa with 32 percent. They will be losing the 8th graders next year, but the 6th graders moving up will be just as strong, considering the Briggs girls will be playing together!

 

GMS Girls Nordic Skiing

This year we had five middle school female skiers…some old and some new. Our 8th grade skiers this year, Kelly, Colleen, Sam, and Saundra, did very well and showed an increasing amount of effort on the trails. Saundra was one of our new skiers and she did extremely well…considering she had never been on skis before. At the beginning of the season she wanted to quit the team, but our coach Mr. Eichler new better than to let her go. Our assistant coach, Mr. Jackson coached us to the best of our ability. With his determination to make us the best we could be we ended up placing 5th out of 18 teams. We are sure that next year, although we will have a young team, it will be one of the best.

 

GMS Girls Softball

This year, the Gorham Middle School Softball Team has about 15 girls total. They have four great pitchers who have been practicing for about 2 months already. Monday, April 01, 2002 will be their first practice. Mr. Kazinski says that this year will be one to die for!

GMS Girls Alpine Ski Team

This year, the Gorham Middle School Alpine Ski Team had five girls. Two of which were middle schoolers. Mamie and Katie were one of the best in the state. Both placing top 30 and the team placed fourth in states. With help of Mrs. Kerrnan and Mr. Macintach this year was the best in all the history for the Gorham Middle School.

 

GMS Girls Soccer

This year, the girls soccer team had about 20 players. Although they didn’t win many games, matter a fact…only one, Coaches Franc and Matt taught our girls how to compete and be aggressive. This year we also decided not to have captains because we thought everyone should be a leader. We did limit it to 8th graders, but everyone got a chance to teach another member something new.
