St. Mary School Swormville -

Don't forget... the Knights of Columbus Soccer Challenge is tonight at 6 pm!

🐝⚽️ JV SOCCER UPDATES: 6/1/25: The SMS JV Bees put the cherry on top of their season this past Sunday with a 7-0 win over St. Stephen's. The absence of several travel players led the JV Bees to call up some up-and-coming SMS 3/4 players including Xavier, Henry, Luke, Elyse, and Cora; and they did not disappoint! Xavier and Grayson shared goal-tending duties, locking down the net against a fierce opponent. Michaela spearheaded the Bees’ defensive efforts with fast feet and huge kicks to clear the ball. Elyse had big plays on all sides of the field throughout the game and generated a huge cheer with a phenomenal second half goal. Josh left the crowd (and himself) in disbelief with a goal that seemed to turn towards the goal in mid-air. Gabe, Luca, and Dawit had big goals as well. The season ends with a 6-1 record and 13 pounds of uneaten oranges at coach’s house! 5/22/25: The SMS JV Bees did it again, defending home field with an 8-2 victory over St. Greg's, while covered head-to-toe in mud. Navigating puddles and a constant downpour, Eli scored 5 goals for the Bees! Gabe and Nico helped with additional goals to bolster a solid lead. Jack showed his tenacity with incredible scoring efforts, only to have his goal called off for an off-sides penalty. Rain-check Jack! SMS goalie David even tried to score a goal, dribbling from his net through a flurry of defenders, only to miss the net in a brave attempt to solidify his place in the history books! The Bee defense led by Michaela, Grayson, and Francesca protected the honeycomb and showed great stamina in repelling the Cougars. Great job Bees! #JV #juniorvarsity #coedsports #youthsports #soccer #goBEES

Eli started the game off with a hat trick, while David, Nico, Gabe, & Parker M. also had great goals & performances. Dawit & Ryan set up great plays to ensure the BEE-autiful win. Jack lost the sole of his shoe, but a little electrical tape put him back in action for a fierce defensive showing to assist Parker P. & David in net. After the game the Bees celebrated with some well deserved ice cream! #Soccer #JuniorVarsity #HatTrick #youthsports #catholicschoolsports #grade1 #grade2 #grade3 #grade4
