The weather is finally cooperating, and the spring sports season is in full swing. Here's a look at where the teams at North Hills stand:
Softball
The varsity softball team posted a perfect 2-0 record last week, with both victories coming over section opponents in Penn Hills and New Castle. The girls are now 3-4 overall on the season and 3-3 in section play.
Baseball
Varsity baseball was swept in last week's three-game series against Central Catholic, bringing the team's section record to 1-5 this season. The boys will play Seneca Valley this week in a series that will be critical to their 6A playoff hopes.
Girls' Lacrosse
The girls' lacrosse team earned its first win of the season last Monday, and then followed it up with two more convincing wins. Overall, the girls are 3-3 and carry their three-game winning streak into another busy week.
Boys' Lacrosse
April's schedule sent the boys' lacrosse team on the road for two games last week against Fox Chapel and Norwin. The team will return to Martorelli Stadium this Wednesday for a section showdown against Butler.
Flag Football
The girls' flag football team put together a perfect 2-0 week to improve to its record to 5-1 this spring. In addition, sophomore quarterback Emmy Schall earned Post-Gazette WPIAL Athlete of the Week honors last week.
Boys' Tennis
Varsity tennis is coming off a 1-2 week, earning their win over Butler and bringing their record to 1-5 so far this season. The boys have a full schedule this week with four matches, plus the section doubles tournament.
Boys' Volleyball
The boys' volleyball team also went 1-2 last week, and the team now owns a 3-4 record this spring. They also competed over the weekend in the Upper St. Clair tournament, earning a second-place finish after a 25-22 loss in the championship match.
Track
The varsity track and field team hosted its second home meet of the season last week, racing against Seneca Valley. Over the weekend, the team ran in the TSTCA Invitational, with top finishers for North Hills including Brody Diehl (second, triple jump), Domenic Monroe (third, shot put), and Kayla Flanigan (seventh, 1600M).
This week's home and away events can be found on the North Hills Athletics website.
Let’s go, North Hills!
