In an exciting showdown at the Montgomery County Bocce Championship, Wootton High School emerged victorious, defeating Poolesville, 2-1, in the final match. The event, held at Watkins Mill High School on February 21, showcased the talent and sportsmanship of all eight teams that competed.
“I am very happy with our team’s performance this year,” said coach Greg Hand. “We had an undefeated regular season and finished second in the county championship. Our players always had a great strategy for their rolls and for what they were trying to do on the court. The players had a great attitude and encouraged each other during games. They always had positive interactions with the other teams we played and with our referees. I am proud to be a part of such a great group, and to coach them, along with assistant coach, Melissa Nagy.” read more on page 22

had seven new members with no prior pom experience, so getting them all up to speed to participate at a D1 level in competition took a lot of dedication and grit! “We had limited opportunity to perform since there were no home basketball games due to the gym being under construction. It’s been amazing to see their progression. They made PHS proud at our D1 County Competition in February, and we were so excited to take home the Choreography Award at our first invitational … read more on page 24
