This Week's News

FALL SPORTS: The NCS soccer team played their season finale Monday in playoffs against St. George (with plenty of team spirit from the crowd). The score was tied 0-0 through DOUBLE overtime, and we went into penalty kicks to break the tie. What an exciting game! St. George won, 4-2, but the NCS coach says she couldn't be more proud of the Lions' effort.

Scoring for NCS were Kadin and Josh. Lilly and Josh did an excellent job defending the goal against St. George. Special recognition goes out to Jacob for his impressive defensive play as sweeper; he really set the team up for success with his ability to read the field and support the defense.

Congratulations to the WHOLE TEAM on a great season, especially the 8th graders who really gave it their all! Thanks to EVERYONE for your support of the team this season. Go LIONS!
