2018-2019

Millbrook High School

The Goeller Cup was first presented at the conclusion of the 2019 Goeller Cup Finals. This was the first time that the trophy, hand-crafted by Mr. Bracken, was to be presented to the winner of the ClassDoJo end-of-the-year tournament. The trophy was created from a glass vase and a heavy-duty cardboard box bin, spray-painted silver and embroidered with a fleur-de-lys, the name of the trophy, and the year on the cup. The Millbrook High School logo was featured on the trophy base. The trophy was named after Mr. Bracken's supervising/cooperating teacher during his student teaching, Mrs. Brogan Goeller.

The class logos for the 2018-2019 school year were inspired by France's World Cup victory in Russia. The class logos are hexagons, an hommage to France's geometric nickname, l'Hexagon, with the class period number inside. Above the number, inspired by France's World Cup victory, was a star representing the level of French - 1 star for French 1, 2 for level 2, and so on.

2018-2019 Regular Season Class DoJo

For the 2018-2019 school year, the ClassDoJo system was set to be implemented in the second semester, starting at the beginning of February with 4 bi-weekly competitions to determine the seeding for the newly branded Goeller Cup Playoffs. There were 6 classes this school year ranging from French level 1 to level 4. Classes would be ranked following the fourth competition based first on wins, then by points, into the Goeller Cup Playoffs. The top 2 seeded teams would automatically advance to the semi-final round.

ROUND 2 | SEMI-FINALS

The Goeller Cup Playoffs uses a fixed bracket, so the top-ranked team will always receive the winner of the closest-seeded match up, in this case, it was the 4v5. This is how Period 5 (#1) met Period 3 (#5) and Period 7 (#2) met Period 1 (#6). The winners of these matches would face-off in the penultimate round to become the first-ever winners of the Goeller Cup. This round featured four competition days for each class.
