HIGHLIGHTREEL Varsity Volleyball: The streak continues! Led by a single senior, Clemson commit Lexie Dorminy, the Cyclones bounced back from two regularseason losses to archrival Ashley Hall and came from behind in the state championship game to win an amazing SEVENTH straight SCISA title.
Sailing: Cyclone sailing became the latest team to hang a banner in the Wendell Center when our sailors claimed their first-ever SCISA state championship in Beaufort on October 22. Coach Kael Martin’s squad has also been competing at a very high level regionally, earning an invitation to the prestigious Great Oaks Regatta in New Orleans as one of the top teams in the southeastern U.S. and the Caribbean.
Swimming: Perfection! For two straight years, Coach Mike Walsh’s swim teams have remained undefeated in both boys and girls’ competition, capping a second-straight undefeated season with another double state-championship. Each team is led by a “two-headed sea monster”– for the girls, sisters Elysse and Kaila Pardus, and for the boys, super-sophomores Willem Goedecke and Daniel Kassis. Losing only senior captains Judah Ellison and Annie Chapman to graduation, the Cyclones hope to three-peat in 2017.
Girls’ Tennis: The Cyclones’ tennis team had an outstanding season, finishing as state runner-up in a close match with a loaded Ashley Hall squad. Coach Charlotte Hartsock’s young team played an exceptionally challenging schedule, and loses only one senior, Barrett Dowd, to graduation. The stage is set for even better things to come!
