On Sept. 6, senior Liza Burgos set a team season low on a 9-hole course at 37 strokes. Also on Oct. 2, Burgos set another team season low on a 18- hole course at 79 strokes.
“It was very exciting getting the lowest scores for the season, but not just in comparison to the team,” Burgos said. “I was more excited that I had beat my own personal best by a lot of strokes because I have put in a lot of hard work over the years, and it finally started to reflect in my scores.”
The Knight’s golf team ended their season Oct. 9, finishing third in districts and sending three golfers, senior Cassie Hodgkins, junior Alyssa Perkins and Burgos, to state.

Logan Scott placed 20th for diving and the 400 freestyle relay team consisting of Avila, Edward, Andrew and Huntington Everheart got 27th. The relay team broke a school record with a time of 1:44:04.
“It was the strongest season I’ve had and we met our ultimate goal,” Edward said. “Many seniors are leaving though which means we will have to work even harder.”
The girls tennis season ended with a record of 7-9 and they had a fifth place finish at the GAC South tournament where four girls medaled.
“This team made me so proud,” coach Samantha Soltysiak said. “They worked so hard all season long.”
The girls tennis season ended on Oct. 4 with a tough loss against Francis Howell High 5-0.
“It was not the best day,” senior Jayati Karre said. “But I had a really fun season with my team.”
The team has five seniors who played their final season of tennis.
“It was a fun season, I am really going to miss it,” Karre said. “I will miss playing with the team and having fun with them.”

During one of the last games of the season, junior Kennedy Jones broke the school record for most blocks during a season. The previous record was 110, but it now stands at 122.
“It felt really good [to break the record] because there was a lot of support from the parents, managers and my teammates,” Jones said.
The varsity girl’s volleyball season ended on Oct.18 after a loss against Westminster, resulting in a season record of 8-20-3.
“It was not the outcome we wanted, but we saw many good things in that game and our seniors played their hearts out,” Assistant Coach Danielle Dagenais said.
