Freshman got the night started with an exciting 2-1 win to make it their first win of the year. JV came up short in their match but the varsity came out strong and put the Wolves to sleep early. The Atoms had great team chemistry as it was evident throughout the game. The Atoms looked like a team that could cause some trouble in the postseason. Next up is senior night Monday vs Lewis.
Boys Volleyball traveled to Justice Tuesday evening and took on the district leading Wolves. The Wolves looked like a potential district champion as they handled the Atoms to win the match 3-0.

Field Hockey got to play Hayfield for the first time since the district championship last year that saw the Hawks win 2-1 in the OT. This game however was a different story. The Atoms jumped out early, only to see the Hawks tie it at 1-1 in the first quarter. After that, it was ALL Atoms as they scored 5 more times to secure a 6-2 win. It was great test as the Atoms head into the final week of the regular season when they travel to Edison Monday and return Wednesday night to Annandale for Senior Night vs Mt. Vernon.

The game was a back and forth affair in a quick first half with both teams heading into the locker room tied at 14.

Atoms Boosters Concession Stand Help
Attention Parents! Volunteers are needed to sell concessions at games throughout the year, starting with fall sports Football and Volleyball. We welcome any and all parents to volunteer but when parents of a particular sport work a game, a portion of concessions sales directly benefit that team. If you are not able to help directly at home games, there are many ways you can get involved with the Atoms Athletics Boosters by attending our monthly meetings or being a team liaison. Thank you for your support for Atom’s Athletics!
For questions about concession stand sign ups, contact Odessa Murray.
