- The Fall 2012 season which saw us open the new PLYMOUTH NORTH HIGH SCHOOL and
athletic facilities, is coming to a close with the traditional Plymouth North
vs Plymouth South Thanksgiving Day football game. This game will be the first event in the
stadium with the newly surfaced track.
The Thanksgiving Day football game will be the first opportunity for
many of the people in our community and alumni to see and enjoy our state of
the art facility.
The opening of our new school was not the only highlight of
the Fall season! The girls’ soccer team
won the ACL championship, the first at the new school. The girls’ soccer team also qualified for the
MIAA state tournament, losing in overtime to North Attleboro. The boys and girls cross country teams sent 7
athletes from each team to the divisional cross country meet, where Nicole
Borofski qualified for the MIAA All-State cross country meet. The cross country boys’ team won the ACL team
sportsmanship award. The boys and girls
cross country teams were honored at the divisional meet where recognized for
the sportsmanship by the MIAA and MSCTA winning the state team sportsmanship
award. Golfer Dan Campbell qualified for
the individual state golf tournament.
The field hockey team was also recipients of the ACL team sportsmanship
award. The cheer team finished 3rd
at the ACL Cheer competition which qualified them to compete at the regional
cheer competition. The JV cheer team

As Thanksgiving approaches we are looking forward to the
winter season, starting with Meet the Coaches Night (Clearance Night) 11/20
6:30 at PNHS. Some important information
pertaining to the eligibility of student-athletes to be eligible to participate
in our athletic program; a rule change from the MIAA, student-athletes must
have had a physical in the last 13 months to be able to participate. The day
after a physical expires the student-athlete becomes ineligible. For example:
if a student-athlete has a physical 8/21/2011, they are eligible until
9/21/2012. On 9/22/2012 that student-athlete would become ineligible until he
or she gets another physical to the A.D.’s office. Reminder, all student-athletes
and parents/guardians must take the NFHS concussion
course on the NFHS website (www.nfhs.org) every year.
Keep up with all the great things happening in
our athletic program, keep checking the PN athletic website to see all the
latest news, and follow @pnhsathletics.
