The Frankford Greenhouse update. Lettuce Anyone? In about a month our greenhouse and Tech lab hydroponic growers produced several heads of lettuce for our students and staff to enjoy.
The Lady Bulldogs were outplayed and out hustled in the first half of our Varsity game against Newton on Friday. The Lady Braves of Newton came out fired up on their home field and Frankford was on their heels most of the first half. However, after a little halftime pep talk (or should I say, pep yell), the girls played much better in the second half with a total domination in the fourth quarter firing shot after shot on goal or just wide. Although the game ended in a 0-0 tie, we were extremely proud of the drive and heart the girls showed by fighting back and playing so well in the final period. Brigid Collins played very well in goal making several key saves to ensure the shut-out. Outstanding offense was played by Rylee Bambara, Leah Klimas, and Liliana Grisales. Dynamite defense was noted by Caitlin Miller, Madeline Hough, June Pecoriello and Madi Vance.
In JV action, the girls played very well but also ended in a 0-0 tie against Newton. Joei McQuade had another shut-out in goal. Outstanding offense was played by Sofia Rizzo, Grace McEvoy, Norma Kemlein, Victoria Burns, Ariel Rouzer and Alexa Pagano. Dynamite defense was played by Savanna Laver, Ava Kithcart, Leighla Hatzinas, and McKaela Xirouchakis. Good game ladies, way to play tough !!!

Yesterday the Varsity Bulldogs Soccer team won a very hard fought 0-1 victory against Lafayette. The match was a back and forth affair with both teams having very good chances. The Bulldogs broke through with a late second half goal by Kenley Pierson who received a great pass from Ty Stevenson for the go ahead score. Natalia Thornton made 4 saves in the match including a diving save to her right which prevented a sure goal.. A combination of great defence and smart goalkeeping saved one off the line in order to preserve the shutout. The whole team worked hard to grind out this victory. The Bulldogs play home next Thursday for the first time in over a week, so come on out for the match
The Bulldogs kept up their winning ways on the road with a 1-4 victory last night against a very feisty Franklin team. Owen Goal opened up the scoring for the match by recording a first half goal off of a Franklin player. The rest of the first half was a cagey affair with Franklin's goalie keeping the score line at 0-1 until the break. The Bulldogs opened up the scoreline in the beginning of the second half with a 22nd minute goal scored by Kenley Pierson assisted by Layla Marrero. Jules Matti would score a goal in the 31st minute assisted byTurner Sansone. Sansone would also assist Kenley Pierson's second goal of the match in the 38th minute to seal the victory for the Bulldogs. Franklin scored a consolation goal off of a penalty late in the match, but it did not matter as the Bulldogs brough the victory home to Frankford. Natalia Thornton recorded 2 saves from open play to secure the victory. The Bulldogs are once again on the road today to take on Lafayette.

The Frankford Greenhouse and Garden are doing great. Our summer crew grew some great fresh veggies and some VERY tall sunflowers in our new raised bed boxes. We are trying to sneak in a few lettuce plants before the frost in the hydroponic grower. Seedlings are already planted
