In the week following Spring Break, the WolfPack practiced flexibility as cold, wet weather brought us a handful of cancelled events. Despite the slower week, we still had the opportunity to cheer on many of our teams. The boys varsity soccer team continues to build a strong record, claiming its seventh victory of the season on Tuesday, while varsity and JV lacrosse teams brought in decisive victories against Walker on Thursday. This past weekend, varsity baseball squeezed out a 1-0 victory over St. Francis to bring their season record to 9-1. Read more about this key victory in this MDJ article.
The Pack is now headed into a week with many away games scheduled. We’ll be traveling to Fellowship Christian, Kings Ridge, Mount Paran, St. Francis, and others throughout the week. Home events include varsity tennis vs. Mount Paran, varsity baseball vs. Westminster, and boys and girls varsity soccer vs. Kings Ridge. Find our full schedule here and join us soon to cheer on the WolfPack!
Go Pack!
