The beginning of the school year is a busy time not only for students and teachers but for athletic departments as well. Just ask Crossroads Christian Athletic Director Scottie Richardson. “We are wide open. We have open house on Monday and school starts on Wednesday,” said Richardson.
Teams are already practicing and preparing for season openers. The school’s three volleyball teams open at home on Thursday, August 17th against Thales-Apex and soccer will start on Friday, August 18th with a home game against Franklinton.
Holden Coghill, soccer coach at Crossroads, took the team to the final four last year and were ranked #1 all season. “The team got caught up in the hype,” Richardson said but he sees a different mentality this year and with most of the team returning he thinks they will be better prepared to handle the success. He said the numbers of students that have turned out this year for athletics has been great.
