There will be no practice for teams on September 24.  Instead each team will have their individual and team picture taken by Lifetouch, the professional photography company that we use for the CDS yearbook.  Parents will have the opportunity to purchase the photographs of their child.  Student-athletes will need to bring their uniforms to school that day because pictures will be taken during regular practice time after school. 

Varsity Soccer had a busy but successful weekend of conference play.  Friday the team hosted Shannon Forest and won 4-0.  The Wildcats then made a quick turn around traveling to Asheville School for a hot Saturday afternoon match.  The boys led 1-0 for most of the game until a shot by the Blues tied it up with less than 10 minutes to go in the game.  In the second half of overtime (overtime consists of two 10 minute halves played to completion) John Ruhl scored on a penalty kick ultimately giving the Wildcats the victory.

Varsity Volleyball also saw action on Saturday meeting High Point Christian Academy.  The girls lost 3-0 but played well against a team that is undefeated so far this season. 

Middle School Boys Soccer won their game Friday afternoon against Shannon Forest 6-4.

Middle School Soccer was the lone victor yesterday for CDS winning 4-0.  JV Volleyball went down 2-0 and Varsity Volleyball lost 3-0 to the 9 time state champions of Asheville Christian while the Varsity Soccer team was defeated 3-1.  All four teams will now look ahead to their next conference match-ups with Shannon Forest later this week.
