A NOTE FROM OUR ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
Spring sports have been busy this week, with everyone back in action following spring break!
Baseball and softball are scheduled to play this evening at 6:00pm against regional opponent San Tan Foothills. Softball is home on Titan Solar Field at GCS Greenfield, while the baseball team heads to the Sabercats’ turf for its match-up. Fans can also catch our JV boys volleyball squad at the high school tonight, in a 4:30pm contest with St. John Paul II. Go Knights!
The 2025 AIA 3A All-Conference Soccer Teams were announced this week, with several GCHS boys receiving top honors. Junior forward Noah Cooper was voted 3A State Player of the Year, and sophomore defender Lief Littlefield was named 3A State Defender of the Year. Head Coach Devon Dickinson was also recognized by the AIA, taking home 3A State Coach of the Year honors after leading the Knights to a 2025 Boys Soccer State Championship. Additionally, the Knights placed senior defender Brody Moore, senior defender Caleb Barnett, and junior midfielder Jackson Lundberg on the 3A Conference First Team, while senior defender TK Reesing was added to the Second Team.
