Fall Sports Recap
We have had a successful Fall, and the season is not over yet! Go Highlanders!

Girls Soccer
The Girls Soccer team is in the State Semifinals after a great
overtime win against La Salle last Saturday!
They will advance to the State Finals on
Saturday 11/15! Best of Luck to these girls!

Cross Country
We had eight runners compete at the State Competition last Saturday.
Our sole female athlete to earn a spot was Cricket Phipps, who
finished 11th. It was a great season for her!
All seven varsity boys had the opportunity to run at State after their
second-place finish at districts.
The boys' team took 9th place, just five spots away from 6th place.
Their top runners were Alder Davis, who finished 4th in State, and
Ashenafi McKinnis, who finished 18th.

Great season for all!
