On September 14, Athletics Director Lamar Reddicks announced a new athletic schedule and improved facilities. He is piloting new hours for the ACC, including 11 a.m.–5 p.m. on the weekends, opening the gym earlier during the week, and introducing early morning Darlings (athletic training) for off season varsity sports teams. In addition, the new updates include replacing outdated equipment.
According to Girls’ Varsity Head Coach Patricia Thompson, “the season is off to a great start.” She continued, “We have some big tests coming up, but the team is working hard in practice each day and preparing well.” Thompson reported that tryouts were “very competitive,” and noted that the coaching team “saw a lot of new and exciting talent.” According to Sasha Coval ’27, “40 kids came to tryouts” and “did a ton of different drills,” during which Thompson “tried really hard to make it so everyone could showcase what they were good at.”
