Fall Sports Wrap Up
November 8, 2022
This year was a remarkable season for all of our teams and student-athletes who competed in a fall sport.
The football team has consistently worked hard and improved. They had a highlight game versus the Cary Imps early on in the season, securing an unforgettable overtime win and bringing home the Crosstown Cup. They also competed at our school’s first annual Homecoming Football Game, making it a night to remember. The cheer and dance teams also showed out this past season to support our Gators and will continue to compete in their own team competitions.
The men’s soccer team finished 5th in SWAC and advanced to the first round of State playoffs. After their Senior Night on October 17th versus Holly Springs, Senior Capt. Max Silverstein says, “It was a bittersweet feeling because it felt good to be celebrated after 4 years of hard work. But knowing something I have loved so much was all coming to an end was something that is hard to face”. The JV men’s soccer team also had a remarkable season, going 15-3-3 and finishing as the Wake County Cup Champions. You can read more about their season in a recent article about their ongoing team chemistry: Teammates For Life.

I’m excited to see all of our returning players and how far we are going to grow next year,” Prashanth states.
The volleyball team advanced to the third round/Final 8 of State Playoffs and celebrated their second senior night in school history.
