GLEN CARBON – The second home game of his senior year didn’t go as hoped for the captain of the boys' soccer team Owen Terrell. The Griffins lost 6-0 to a very good Triad team, but Terrell knows his team gave it everything they had. “We tried our best and sometimes our best isn’t enough,” he said after the game. He’s the team’s leading goal scorer with three on the season. He had some chances against the Knights but couldn’t convert. He’s just happy to still be captaining his team, win or lose. He had a really great answer when asked what being a captain means to him. “It’s a pretty big responsibility. It’s something that I’ve always wanted to have since my freshman year looking up to my upperclassman.

In the fall she’s an outside hitter for Father McGivney Catholic High School’s volleyball team and in the winter months, she plays guard in basketball. Right now though, she’s just getting the volleyball season started and is ready for more. “Super excited. We love having the whole school come out and support us,” she said after the team’s home opener in which they won two sets to none against Mulberry Grove. “It feels great when everyone is here and is being loud.” With the win, the team moves back to a positive record of 5-4. Oller is a Byron Carlson Petri & Kalb Female Athlete of the Month for Father McGivney Catholic. It was only their second non-tournament match of the season. After going 3-4 in the Roxana Tournament, the Griffins finished in eighth place out of 16 schools. Not exactly what Sami was hoping for. “I feel like we
