An Historic Weekend
The 7th grade boys played St. Margaret of York and took home their first victory of the season! The 8th grade boys battled St. Columban and, while they fell back in the last minutes of the game, they played some excellent ball.
It was incredible to see the team spirit and hard work displayed; both the 7th and 8th grade teams fought and played with a lot of heart. It was clear, however, that as much as each team wanted to win, they didn't lose sight of the fact that playing sports is a great way to witness to each other and to their opponents. If a teammate made a mistake or missed a shot, the boys were quick to offer a pat on the back or encouraging word. When an RA player went diving for the ball against his opponent, he jumped up and offered the other player a hand to get him back on his feet.
The photos above feature the 8th grade's game against St. Columban. There was a huge turn out of support for our teams, and boy were our fans loud! Even Royalmont families who didn't even have a boy playing came out to show their support.
Great job, boys! This is sure to be an exciting season, so stay tuned for more updates.
Royalmont Academy is a private, Catholic school located northeast of Cincinnati - serving Mason, West Chester, Loveland, and South Lebanon.
