Spring is a busy time for athletics at Crossroads Christian and that means Scottie Richardson, the school’s athletic director, is also busy. For the most though, Richardson has a smile on his face since his teams are performing well. “Spring sports are wide open,” Richardson commented on Thursday’s SportsTalk.
The varsity baseball team is 3-1 and is currently on a three game winning streak. The team has been more fortunate than some of the other area schools which have been unable to get in games due to poor weather. While poor weather hasn’t been much of a concern for the baseball team, the lack of officials has. “We had to cancel a game against Warren County because there were no umpires,” Richardson said.
Girl’s soccer has an identical record to the baseball team, 3-1, and that team has also won three in a row. Girl’s soccer, with coach Tony Bennett at the controls, is also 2-0 in the conference.
Additionally, the school’s golf team is undefeated at 3-0, but Richardson is unhappy with how the state has structured the divisions. 1A and 2A schools are now in what is called Division III forcing Crossroads to play much bigger schools. Richardson says they may have twice as many golfers as Crossroads which currently only has five players. One of those is a 7th grader. Still, Richardson is happy with the team which is currently 10th in the state.
