Despite a handful of cancelled athletic events due to weather on Monday and Wednesday, the WolfPack enjoyed some great competition last week. On Tuesday, we came together to cheer for our varsity tennis teams while also enjoying free King of Pops popsicles with sticks that said “Go WolfPack Tennis!” Other highlights from the week included three victories for our varsity girls tennis team and two wins for our varsity baseball team during a double-header at Oglethorpe University. Recaps of all of this week’s athletic events can be found below.
This week, join us in cheering on the WolfPack as we head into 10 Middle School games, one JV game, and 10 varsity games. We’ll be competing against Walker, Kings Ridge, Kell, Mount Pisgah, and many others. You can find the Whitefield athletic calendar here.
A huge thank you to all of our parent volunteers for making game days possible at Whitefield by operate scoreboards, running the concession stand, and being the “Voice of the Pack” as our PA announcers. We could not do this without YOU!
Looking forward to backing the Pack with you this week,
Danny Ryan
