It was another busy week for Windsor High Sports as the volleyball, cross-country and football Greyhounds all had contests.
Cross-Country: Coach Danielle Betsworth’s crew participated the hilly Warsaw Invitational last Tuesday. The girls’ squad placed third in their team competition. Lily Betsworth led the Black & Gold with a 14th place finish out of 39 competitors. Fellow senior Izzy Henderson placed 17th. Luna Munoz was 24th, Julika Schwarze was 28th, and Megan Rice was 30th. Windsor’s boys’ runners placed fourth in their division. Joshua Pritt and Connor Bishop led the way for Windsor with 14th and 21st place times. Finishing in a cluster were Hunter Chaney (25th), Michael Graves (26th), and Nico Punshon (27th).
Volleyball: The Lady Greyhound volleyball team competed in the three competitions last week. Coach Nancy Rhoads’ squad hosted conference rival Smithton first. The Tigers bested the Greyhounds three sets to one. Next up was a home match against Warsaw. The Wildcats won the match in three sets. And last was a tussle against Green Ridge. The Tigers defeated the Greyhounds in a three-game sweep. Windsor starts Kaysinger Conference Tournament play this weekend.
Football: Coach Chuck Speer’s gridiron gang improved their record to 5-1 and took the lead in the conference title run. The Greyhounds traveled to Cass-Midway and shut out the Vikings 22-0. Windsor scored on the opening drive of the game. Chase Hampton ran in a two-yard sweep to give Windsor a 6-0 lead. The Greyhounds recovered an onside kick and added a thirteen-play drive to up the score to 14-0. Rowan Cox scored from two yards out and then Reece Heany completed a two-point play to Jerrick Millington. Midway’s offense didn’t take a snap for the first nine minutes of the game. Neither team scored in the second and third quarters. Cox got his second TD of the night with six and a half minutes left in the final frame. Cox’s two-point play ended the scoring at 22-0. Defensive leaders for the Greyhounds included Andrew Scott and Alex Bauer who led the team in tackles. The Greyhounds host Versailles Friday night at David Powell Memorial Field with a 7:00 kickoff.
