Soccer Boys PHS: The boys’ varsity soccer team entered the 2018 season with the challenge of maintaining the success earned in 2017 in the league (CVC Champions), Central Jersey (Group IV Sectional Champions), statewide (Group IV State Finalists) and a Top 10 Final NJ Ranking. After losing 15 seniors, 10 starters to graduation, and beset by a multitude of injuries to key starters, perseverance and desire for individual and collective improvement were the themes throughout the campaign with the long-term goal of player development for the 2019. Seniors included Alec Korsah, Josh Nieman, Grant Luther, Sebastian Ratzan, Atticus Lynch, Thomas Reid, Van Lal Ven and first year varsity seniors, Jesus Lazo, Zad Mahana, Final record: 8-6-2.

Soccer Girls PHS: The PHS girls Varsity team finished the season 9-7-2. We had some very impressive games against tough opponents where we showed our true potential. We are graduating 5 seniors, Captain Shannon Romaine, Kathryn DeMilt, Camille Franklin, Julia Thomson and Hannah Colaizzo. All will be missed for their hard work, dedication and positive leadership. Collectively, we netted 41 goals from 14 different players. We really encompassed a true team and are looking forward to next season with 15 returners.
Tennis Girls PHS: The PHS Varsity Girls’ Tennis team completed another great fall season, with a final record of 14-2. In one of the most competitive Mercer County Tournaments in many years, they finished second as a team, along with senior Jordan Johnson and freshman Bella Lependorf taking the individual 1st doubles title. Also in counties, junior Nicole Samios finished in 3rd place, and second doubles, Adriana Todorov and Sora Sato placed 4th. Additionally, we had a strong run in a very challenging state bracket-we had an exciting 3-2 victory over East Brunswick in the quarterfinals, where Nicole Samios clinched the match with a three set victory at 3rd singles. We unfortunately weren’t able to make it past Hightstown this year (our only two losses) but look forward to chances in the future. In the Trenton Times post-season honors, Jordan Johnson and Bella Lependorf were named to both the All-Area and All-CVC team. We will miss our 6 seniors this year, Sydney Vine, Caroline Tan, Jordan Johnson, Adriana Todorov, Sara Khanna, and Isabelle Normandin.
Volleyball Girls PHS: In their 5th year as a varsity program, the girls have won their third league title. Finishing with a record of 20-6, the Tigers played with grace, tenacity and aplomb during another banner year. We will miss our seniors Natalia Drobnjak, Viva Bell, Grace Forrest, Olivia Corrodi, Cami Strauss and Julia Brown.
