Fall Sports Off to a Strong Start

September 3, 2015 //  by Mary Johnson

Our Wildcats are off to a great start! Many of our Middle Schoolers are participating in Volleyball, Soccer, and Cross Country this fall.

Soccer

Our soccer team is young, but talented. We have 8 fifth graders on our team this year so watch out in 2018! We are fortunate enough to be coached by Coach Roger Gallivan. Coach Gallivan is an avid soccer fan and played soccer for many years even throughout college. He brings enthusiasm and knowledge of the game to our play-ers. Under his tutelage, we will have fun and learn a great deal about soccer. Our first game has been postponed, but will be rescheduled soon.

Volleyballvolleyball

Volleyball this fall is being coached by Ms. Sam and Ms. Jenn. The team has been working hard and has many returning players from last year. We were excited to host our first home volleyball game on August 31. Since then we have competed at Atlanta Girls School and hosted a tri-tournament with Epstein and Riverside. Our Lady Wildcats are coming on strong!

Cross Country

Cross Country is being coached by Ms. Lisa  and  Mr. Chris. They are very familiar with the running community and bring lots of expertise to our team. Our XC team ran their first race on August 26th at Jim Miller Park.
