November Update

Coach Spaulding (class of 1989) takes PIE in the FACE!


GPCS Varsity Boys in the MPA Western Class D Play-offs!


There has been much excitement here! The GPCS Varsity Boys Soccer Team made it into the MPA Western Class D Play-offs. The quarterfinal game was played Wednesday, Oct. 27 at home against Buckfield.

Before GPCS sent their team to the field, the GPCS Student Council organized a whole school pep rally. Students were to make paper plate lion masks for a contest. Winners would be able to pie someone in the face at the pep rally. Winners were: Emily Libby (grade 3) and she put the pie into Mrs. Carol Bickford’s face, Killian Patterson( grade 4) and he put the pie into James Perkin’s face, David Rodgers (grade 7) and he put the pie into Mr. Keith Dawson’s face and Than Peterson (grade 11) and he put his pie into Coach Spaulding’s (class of 1989) face. Also, at the pep rally, the JV Soccer Team and The Varsity Girls Soccer Team were cheered for their seasons.

So with a great send off, the varsity boys team took the field. It was a great game, one of those close and tense ones. The GPCS crowd was definitely into it. The game went into overtime, the score being 1 to 1. In the second over time period, GPCS scores! Game over and GPCS is heading to GREENVILLE!

Sam Whiting scored our first goal and Matt Hammond scored the goal in over time. Hope you had a chance to check out the pictures and article in the Portland Press Herald.

On Friday, October 29, the team and all of high school set off to the semifinal game in Greenville. The team took a 3-0 loss. Thank you for a great season!
