The Girls’ Varsity and JV tennis teams faced Kentucky Country Day and
emerged victorious in a close match. Winning matches for the team were
Jeannie Soto in singles, and the doubles teams of Ellen Joss/Isabel Puri, Katie Stahl/
Tatum Plyler, Rebecca Liu/Emma Wheeler.
Later in the week, the girls’ Varsity and JV Tennis teams enjoyed a big victory against
Butler. Winning in singles: Isabel Puri, Ellen Joss, Tatum Plyler. Winning in doubles: Jeannie Soto/Anna Falk, Audrey Whitacre/Katie Stahl, Emma Wheeler/Rebecca
Liu, Caroline Husband/Nicole Davis, Lydia Crouch/Lauren Seaton. Great job girls!
With one of the state's best distance runners (Hannah Herd) not having taken the track yet this season, the
Lady Centurions are still ranked 8th in KytrackXC.com's Power Rankings. The rankings are derived from
taking all of the seasons results and scoring them like one enormous meet. The Lady Centurions get their
points off the arm of Lilli Popovich - who owns the state's best throw in both the shot put and discus. Once
Hannah get fully back and Lilli resumes more track time (couldn't run most of last season), the team will be
able to line-up more effectively in meets - meaning that there is more potential on this team!

over 400 people were at the event. The CAL 6th grade team won the
Championship in the 5th/6th grade division and the Holy Trinity team

VARSITY LACROSSE FALLS TO SHARP SHOOTING TITANS
Tuesday March 31 brought the Titans of Collegiate to Christian Academy for boy’s varsity lacrosse. While
the Centurions posted a good offensive effort, the Titans, with some early sharp shooting, jumped ahead in
the first half and held on to win 12 – 7.
Jonathan Lytle and Preston Gilbert lead the scoring for CAL with three goals each. Holten Durenberger
rounded out the CAL effort with one shot in the net. Joe Zeiser, Caleb Anderson, Lytle and Durenberger all
posted assists on the offensive end.
As the game began, the Titans scored quickly and often with five goals in the first quarter and four in the second to go into halftime up 9-5. The Centurion defense regrouped and responded well holding the visitors
from Collegiate to only three second half goals, but the damage was done.
Refreshed from a week off for Easter Break and heading in to district play, boy’s lacrosse hosts the Eastern
Eagles this Friday April 17. Come out and cheer on your varsity and junior varsity lacrosse teams!
