Our Warriors faced the Ravens of Ravenscroft on Wednesday, March 15th to jump start their season.  The Warriors were looking to get off to a great start for the 2023 season and they did!  Anna Hauser led the team in scoring with 6 goals.  Heath Brooks added 3 goals to the Warrior total.  Katie France, Caroline Craven, Reagan Hueman, and Henley Dunn decided to join the "goal" party also scoring a goal each.  The Warriors were also stellar on the defensive end of the field sparked by Annie Erickson who held the Ravens to only 4 goals the entire game.  " I was proud of how many people were able to score this game.  We had a balanced attack and that was pretty impressive for our first game of the season." -Coach Eastman

Game 2 against Cary Academy on 3/16 

Our Warriors matched up with Cary Academy on Thursday, March 16th.  The Warriors had just come off of a season opening win against Ravenscroft the day before so emotions were still running high.  The Warriors did not let back to back games affect them and were able to pick up right where they left off.  Once again the Warriors had a balanced offensive attack led by Marion Cella who had 4 goals.  Heath Brooks and Anna Hauser chipped in with 2 goals a piece.  Reagan Hueman and Henley Dunn added 1 goal each to the Warrior's total.  "I am also incredibly happy with our defense this  game and even though we have more to learn I must give a shout-out to Annie Erickson, Liza Lewis, Addie Howard, and Tatom Good for not letting Cary Academy score a goal in the first half!! Last big shoutout to Charlotte Hanna for her continuous saves as a goalie, she has not let the opposing team score over 4 goals so far this season." -Coach Eastmann

SOCCER v. TRINITY ACADEMY

The girls soccer team lost to Trinity Academy with a score of 0-6. Jordan Holmes made some excellent saves and is really looking comfortable in goal. Frances Fischer playing in only her 2nd soccer game did great and is really finding her feet and understanding the game. “Really proud of the effort despite the score and the challenge of playing teams with certainly older and more experienced players”, coach Walston said.

SOCCER v. MAGELLAN

The girls soccer team is struggling with injuries but played Magellan who had sixteen experienced 8th graders and three 7th graders. While the team is young they fought very hard with their limited roster. Jordan Holmes did a great job in goal fighting to keep the barrage of shots out while the defense was similarly tested. Despite having a broken arm and wearing a soft cast, Finley Spivey did a great job in the midfield and Avery Black turned away offensive attacks consistently frustrating Magellan’s offense. “So proud of these girls for coming out and playing for themselves and for me”, said coach Walston. “They have a great deal of heart and I am privileged to be coaching this group of young ladies” he added.

GOLF v. ST. MICHAEL’S

The golf team had a great match vs. St. Michael’s. In anticipation of the rain Thursday they moved their game to Wednesday and the team performed well in the early match-up. Their victory with a final score of 144-157 was another great win for them to build off of. James Fisher shot one under par and Ford Fisher shot even par.
