Medomak Valley held their fall athletic awards on Wednesday, Nov. 12. Matt Lash gave some highlights of the season, including the sports teams working with Miller and Warren school children to help them with reading; the football team working on Friendship’s new field and planting trees, and the soccer teams working with the Waldoboro Rec teams.
Other highlights included Gavin Felch qualifying for the State Class B cross-country meet and a really extraordinary event at the football team’s game at MCI, when the Panthers showed class and sportsmanship by allowing an MCI teammate with a vision disorder score a touchdown. Lash read a moving letter from a parent. Lash also commended the boys soccer team for holding their composure in their loss against Ellsworth.
Lash announced that two sponsors have stepped forward to purchase new scoreboards. Moody’s Diner is sponsoring the basketball scoreboards, and Haskell Water Treatment the outdoor scoreboards.
Lash also announced that he will be instituting two new awards. He presented certificates to sophomore and junior underclassmen who earned a 90 or better (3.33).
