Celebrating Fall Sports Achievements 

Our fall sports programs had a successful and competitive season across the board, with Football, Flag Football, Cross Country, Volleyball, and Softball all representing our school with pride, effort, and sportsmanship.

Football capped off the season with a GHSA Playoff appearance, a testament to the hard work and commitment of our student-athletes and coaching staff. We also proudly recognize Kaumari Dorsey, named Region 2 AAAA Athlete of the Year and a member of our Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), for outstanding leadership and performance both on and off the field.

Flag Football, Cross Country, Volleyball, and Softball each demonstrated growth, resilience, and competitiveness throughout the fall, continuing to build strong foundations for the future of their programs.

We are proud of all our fall student-athletes and coaches for a successful season and look forward to continued progress across all programs.
