Our Lady Knights, Knights, and Lower School Knights have been getting at it over the last month and a half and need a nod! Congrats to our middle school teams for hard work and perseverance! As it stands right now, both teams are 2-2 for the season and are playing tough. They face the George Walton Bulldogs today on their home court. Good luck to both teams and leash those dogs! Our Lower School Lady Knights have also been hard at work. Our girls played their first game last week and lost a close one, but they're at it again this Saturday. Good luck, ladies! We're proud of how they are developing into a great team....and then there's our Lower School Knights....WATCH OUT FOR THEM! They take the court for the first time this Saturday! GOOOOOOOOO, KNIGHTS!

Congratulations to all of our runners for another great meet at Crow's Lake in Jefferson! Many of our runners set new personal bests and did so in the stifling heat! Our runners continue to get stronger and faster because of their dedication and great coaching! As the season comes to an end, you can check our runners out in their last two meets. First up is Athens Academy this Thursday, 9/27, followed by Westminster Christian Academy on 10/2. Run, Knights, run!

 


9-17-18 VOLLEYBALL AMAZES!

WOW! Our Lady Knights took it to Malcom Bridge Middle School in a tight match that had everyone on the edge of their seats! The volleys and serves were intense, but our girls handled the pressure and kept their composure. There was no denying that our girls played as a team, communicating like champions, and setting the ball up time and time again. It was amazing! Then our Lady Knights faced a tough Madison County squad on 9/20. Although, we did not take the victory, we were ready and came close to taking it from the Mustangs who have only lost one match. The good news is we're heading to Athens Academy on 9/24 with confidence and are ready for anything! Go get 'em, girls!

8-16-18 RUNNERS, TAKE YOUR MARK!

CONGRATULATIONS to the SJS Cross Country team on its first showing for the season at Monsignor Donovan Catholic High School yesterday! Why, you may ask? That would be due to the fact that our Knights SHOWED UP in a big way! Our boys clinched 2nd place in the searing heat and on a very difficult hilly course!! Hamilton Long took second place overall with Stephen Graveman fast on his heels clenching third! Several other Knights finished in the top 15 as well! It was an amazing first showing for our team leaving all looking forward to good things to come! Nice work, guys!


6-21-18 PHYSICALS!

It's never too soon to get that athletic physical crossed off your list of things to do! Do it NOW, and when August rolls around, you'll be ahead of the game. Just a reminder that ALL SJS athletes in grades 5th-8th will need a current physical on file in order to participate in practice and games....in other words, athletes cannot even begin practice unless they have the official SJS physical paperwork turned in prior to the first day of practice. You can find the physical form on the SJS website, so go ahead and make that appointment TODAY! It'll be one less thing you have to do come this fall. Also, keep your eyes peeled for game schedules as they are being put in place on the SJS website. Volleyball is up now, so mark your calendars!

 


3-10-18 Knights DOMINATE!

WOW! Our SJS boys soccer team gave it to the Prince Avenue Wolverines on March 8th at home with a 7-0 shut-out! The boys took care of business from the start keeping Wolverine shots on goal at a minimum. Nice work, gentlemen! Our girls did not have the same results however, but fought hard and worked as a team. A big shout out goes to Lee Chandler for working hard as keeper. Next up after a nice break will be Westminster away on March 19th. Come out and support your SJS Soccer Knights!


2-26-18 Lady Knights Soccer Scores a Win!

Congratulations to our Lady Knights soccer team on its first victory of the year against Oglethorpe County Middle School!

2-25-18  Tennis Team Busy at Work

Our SJS Tennis Knights have been at it, battling on the courts with amazing rallies, effort, and wins! Coach Chapman cannot say enough about her kids rising up to the challenges they have faced with a predominately young squad with minimal experience. Minimal experience leads to great progress, which has been happening with each match. In the spotlight right now are Sofia Disante, Patrick Holmes, and CJ Manno for their fight and ability to keep things cool under pressure. According to the coaches, the entire team has displayed great sportsmanship and tennis etiquette! Thank you for representing us so well! Next up for the Knights is Morgan County Middle this Wednesday, 2/28, at home at the Athens Tennis Center at 4:30. Come out and cheer on our team! 

 


2-12-18   Soccer and Tennis Start Ups

The SJS Lady Knights soccer team took the field on February 12th at George Walton Academy to kick off the season. The girls fought hard, coming back from a 5-0 first half to hold the Bulldogs to one goal in the second half. 8th grader, Rachel Duncan, scored after many solid attempts which put the final score 6-1. This year's squad is young with limited experience, but there will be great things to come especially with leadership from our returning 8th and 7th graders. Both our girls and boys teams head to Oglethorpe County Middle School on Monday, February 26th with 4:30 and 5:45 start times.
