How nice it was to be off for the long weekend…were we really off?? Not really! The building was buzzing this morning will all that went on over the weekend…I’ll try to fill you in. President’s weekend usually means the UC Forensic Team is competing at Harvard; well this year was no exception with many of our students “breaking” into final rounds. Congratulations!
On Saturday spectators were able to watch as Mike McCabe and the UC Track Team once again make an impressive showing at the NJSIAA State Meet at the Jersey City Armory with many of our track team qualifying for the Meet of Champions on Saturday and Easterns next Tuesday. Congratulations to our State Champs Tiara for the high jump and Mike for the 55 meter dash – read more about it at www.uctrack.com!!
What’s that you say??? 600th WIN? UC Girls Basketball Coach Kathy Matthews? Yes you’ve got it! Tuesday night the Girls basketball team helped to bring Coach Matthews her 600th career win by beating Oak Knoll 31 -29. If you were to meet Coach in the hall, she would never brag about her accomplishments, in fact she hates the attention. Her reaction is “it’s not all about basketball; it’s about what kind of person you can be off the court as well”. Kathy Matthews has coached so many girls on and off the court, instilling sportsmanship and fair play along the way…how lucky we are to have her here! Congratulations Coach on three-plus decades of coaching basketball and on your milestone win!
Yes UC is buzzing…buzzing with students talking about all the things they did over the long weekend, spice girl concerts, sweet sixteens, basketball games, movies and more…just enjoying life as a high school student. It was wonderful to be off, but just as nice to come back. Tonight our senior boy’s basketball team played their last home game. Parents were introduced with their sons before the game began…a very emotional night! Even principal Sister Percylee found herself emotional as she reflected on what a very special senior class this is. The Class of 2008 is filled with so many wonderful students; young men and women who have grown into strong leaders academically, socially and athletically. It is hard to believe that tomorrow will bring their senior breakfast …108 days to graduation! As the admissions office is busy planning to welcome the Class of 2012 at the Lock-In at the end of the month, it brings the realization that we will have to begin our good-bye to our seniors…well I won’t get ahead of myself – still a lot more to come…the spring musical, St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Mr. UC, Proms and my personal favorite …baseball season!
BTW – the boys basketball team won big with the help of all those senior boys – great season, Tony, Mike, Aaron, Keith, Marcus, Carlo & Jimmy!!!
