SportsTalk: Crossroads Finding Success At Multiple Sports
Last year Crossroads Christian lost in the final four of the state soccer championship but, according to Scottie Richardson, the school’s athletic director, Crossroads is will have a good shot of returning to the final four this season. “We are ranked #1 in the state. We lost our first game to Franklinton and haven’t lost since,” Richardson said on Wednesday’s SportsTalk. This week they take on defending state champions Cape Fear Christian as they prepare to move into the state playoffs.
Soccer is not the only area where Crossroads is finding success. “Cross Country has their conference tournament next week and they are looking for a three-peat,” Richardson said as the cross country team has one back to back state championships.
Volleyball is also moving towards playoff time. “It’s a tough conference and anything can happen,” Richardson said about his volleyball team. The varsity team will travel to Lee Christian this week while the JV team plays at Cape Fear.
Basketball is also just around the corner with the first game on November 7th at Oakwood in Greenville. “We lost a lot of players from last year’s team so we may be able to fly under the radar,” Richardson said.
