Spike! Volleyball swept their way into the Elite 8, knocking off North Cobb Christian Wednesday and Calvary Day Saturday by 3-0 margins. Against North Cobb, some of the stars included Nora Godfrey, Amara Donnelly, and Auldyn Patak… In the Calvary Day win, Harley Ward, Ashley Wilson, and Godfrey all came up big. Looking ahead, they will face the winner of the Pace/Savannah Country Day matchup this weekend.

Strike three! A good softball season ended Monday in the Sweet 16, as our Bears fell 3-2 and 14-6 at Pace. Asher Gleeson was amazing on the mound in Game #1; Katie Holland had key hits and a good glove in both outings, and Callan McKay was also a force at the plate. Congrats to all involved in yet another great campaign and postseason run.

Run! Cross country competed in Huntsville Saturday, with the boys placing 3rd and the girls 8th. Harris Bradford (2nd overall), Daniel Hill, Bobby Spencer, Brayden Briles, and Gavin Campos were the top five boys; Laney Kate Miller, Edie Coil, Beatrice Jones, Blair Huber, and Sloane Hodgson the leading girls. Sectionals are slated Oct. 31st at Darlington.

Touchdown! Football was idle last weekend but will return to regular season action Friday at Riverwood against KIPP Atlanta Collegiate…9th grade blanked Mt. Pisgah 50-0 last week. Sam Griffin threw four TD passes, Matthew Levitt ran in for two scores, Will Webber added a pair of TDs and had an interception. Whitty Kloberdanz returned a punt for a score; Ben Hoover had a sack. They will finish regular season Thursday against Wesleyan.

Until next time,
