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.

The JV Volleyball team earned a 2-0 victory - solid play by Victoria Millsap and others;

The Varsity volleyball team falls in 5 games to the home team Blues- a battle from start to finish with only a few key points keeping the Lady Cats from earning a victory.

In yesterday’s final scrimmage match of the season, the Lady Wildcats hosted the WCAA. The Lady Wildcats fell behind early, losing the first 2 matches by close scores. The Lady Wildcats regrouped for the 3rd and behind solid front line play, took the 3rd and 4th game in sharp fashion.

The Lady Cats and WCAA Blazers entered the 5th game tired, but focused. The Blazers of WCAA pull it out in the 5th.

Solid scrimmage as we prepare to open CAA play at Asheville School on Friday.

The Lady Wildcat volleyball team hosts WCAA this afternoon in an early-season scrimmage. The Wildcats (0-0, 0-2) took the court last week at Asheville HS where they faced Asheville HS and Smoky Mtn HS. The Lady Cats played well and early season matches are always difficult.

The Wildcats look to use today’s scrimmage as as an opportunity for evaluation and development. Today’s match is scheduled for 430p.

* Please note that the concession stand will not be open for this scrimmage.

The young Cats opened their 2008 volleyball season this afternoon at Asheville High School.
