Congratulations!
Our Varsity Baseball team are the State Runner-Ups for the NCISAA 1A Tournament. Kerr-Vance Academy defeated our team in the final championship game. We are so proud of our boys for their accomplishments this season. Check out this article for more information.
Our JV girls played against our parents and staff. They were a little short-handed with only 5 players. JV had the lead 10-6 after the first quarter. The Colts poured in 12 more to make it 22-8 at the half. The JV girls were still going full steam to make it 31-11. The younger girls decided to go easy cause the veterans poured in 16 during the 4th for a final score of 39-27. 
19 at the halftime. The dads showed off their moves and how they played back in the day. The final was 15-44 in favor of the parents but everyone came out as a winner with all the fun had by all.
Then it was time for the alumni to take the floor. The ladies started a bit slow with the score 7-9 at the end of the first quarter. The Varsity girls buckled down and were ahead at halftime 13-11. But the alumni had a plan coming out of the break and poured in 15 points during the 3rd quarter to swing the score 13-26. The alumni could feel the juices flowing again and finished strong 15-39 letting the alumni easily roll to victory again.
It was now time for the “boys” to take to the floor. Last year the varsity boys defeated the alumni and have been talking big about this match. All the players were introduced and all alumni were asked to stand as the crowd cheered. It makes for a special night when alumni return to where they enjoyed their shining moments back on the court. The varsity colts were a little bit rusty from no game for over a week. The first quarter was 8-13. The alumni were showing their past moves with unique passes and quick moves. The burst of past talents shimmering on the court was just something you had to be at the game to understand. By halftime, the score showed how much talent was on both teams. 28-29. The varsity boys decided that it was time to show off. The colts poured in 17 points to pull ahead 45-37. The last quarter was just more of the same as Avery Krywanczyk lead all scorers with 22 points. The final score was 65-52.Congratulations to Jacob Stallings for his admissions to NC STATE Associate of Applied Science program! We are so proud of you Jacob!
