Brittany Abdishi, Assistant Athletic Director, has found adjusting to her new position much easier and more enjoyable than expected, but reports there has been a learning curve to find the equal balance between both of her jobs.
“I think for me it was time management between still teaching and giving my best to my students and being able to handle my assistant athletic director duties,” Abdishi said.
No further discussion of girls’ flag football has occurred since last month, according to Abdishi, but she stated she will be looking further into the possibility of the sport now that the fall sports season has come to a close.
That said, Abdishi will find plenty else to do, beginning with winter sports such as wrestling, basketball, and boys’ swim, all of which will be picking up traction.
Boys’ basketball is currently struggling to find its footing, with five straight losses in a row.
Girls’ basketball has been doing well so far: JV is 2-0 and Varsity is 5-1. Varsity went undefeated and took home a first place finish – for the second year in a row – at the IMSA tournament earlier in November. During the tournament, they averaged a 20-point difference.
On November 28, there was a badminton open gym from 3:15 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., paired with conditioning that went from 4:30 p.m. till 5:00 p.m. Although badminton is a spring sport, these open gyms, held in the winter, help with preparation for the spring season: attendance is taken into consideration when and if trying out for the team.
Additional open gyms will be held December 5, 12, and 19. The schedule will follow the same structure every week, being held on Tuesdays after school for those who are looking to hit a birdie and get fit.
