While many of us feast at the table of plenty, winter athletes are keeping their BMI in check to stay competitive. I have just been able to start the county website for winter sports. Only have schedules linked thus far…

Here’s some dessert—the two undefeated teams (MMS and BCMS) square off on Monday (11/27) at MMS.

With this cornucopia of sports action on the table, we (players, coaches, parents, teachers and staff, sports fans in general) are truly blessed indeed!

Magic Carpet Ride Ends

The magical season ended last night for the Croatan soccer team as they where dismissed from the playoffs by perennial powerhouse Swansboro, 6-1. Croatan squeaked into the playoffs after a .500 season. Then, they bounced two higher seeds on their way to last night’s Elite 8 matchup against the Pirates. Hats off to the boys from the ‘Tan for a job well done this season. With only 3 seniors on the this year’s squad and a strong feeder system, Cougar soccer is on the rise!
