Lion Sports Update (09/10)
The varsity cross country team participated in the Marcus Coach T Invitational this past Saturday, Sept. 5, at North Lakes Park in Denton. It was a great day for the Lions, as both teams produced outstanding results. The varsity team competed in the Open Varsity Boys 5K and came away with a first-place finish out of 40 schools. The team was led by Jackson Bailey (4th place), William Cho (5th place), Nicholas Cho (11th place), Ward Beasley (18th place), and George Brown (21st Place), rounding out the top seven were Garet Tydlaska (41st Place), and Lawson Ruby (46th Place). Also running on the varsity team were Bowman Ellis and Josh Nunez. The second team competed in the Elite JV Boys 5K and came away with a 7th-place finish out of 29 schools. The team was led by Preston Bailey (11th place), Alex Marczewski (25th place), Graham Selzer (40th place), Kai Cooper (49th place), and Nicholas Huang (53rd Place). Also running on the JV team were Chris Huang, Ari Packianathan, Silas Porter, Sean Huang, Will Standefer, Caleb Aldis, and Campbell Timmerman. It was an outstanding performance by all the boys. The team is off this coming weekend, and then they will race in the Lovejoy XC Festival in McKinney at Myers Park this Saturday, Sept. 19.
Last Friday, the Lions' football team traveled to Irving to take on the Cistercian Hawks. The Lions' defense created an early spark, as Reid Smith scooped up a Hawks' fumble and returned it for the first touchdown of the game. Smith also added a safety and 3 TFLs on the night. The Lions' defense created more turnovers as Mac Saye returned an interception for a touchdown and Jesus Serrato forced a fumble that Hunt Rogers recovered. Cameron Steinbrueck led the way with 8 tackles and 1 TFL from the nickel position. Offensively, the Lions' ground game dominated, as Donnell Dickson rushed for 103 yards and two scores on six carries, and David Dickson rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown on just three carries. The Lions' leading receiver was Archer Wilburn, who caught 4 passes for 72 yards and a touchdown. Freshman Henry Bean scored his first two varsity touchdowns to finish out the night with a 58-0 victory. The 2-0 Lions host the ESD Eagles Thursday night at 7 p.m. in Hunt Stadium.
The varsity water polo team took a trip down to Austin to take on SPC rival St. Stephens and Houston Consolidated this past weekend. Up first, against St. Stephens, and eleven different Marksmen would find the back of the net. In the first quarter, it was 5-1, with goals coming from 4 different goal scorers. In the second quarter, eight Marksmen would account for the 8 goals, and the Lions would have a 13-4 halftime lead. In the 3rd quarter, it was 6-2 Lions, and in the 4th, the Lions would lose 2-3, but had plenty of cushion to win 21-9. Junior Berken Oral would lead the Lions in scoring with 5 goals. In the second game of the day, the Lions would take on Houston Consolidated. Junior Eddie Stehel would have the hot hand this game, scoring 5 and leading the team. Lions would jump out to a 4-2 first quarter, 5-2 at halftime, then 10-2 in the third, and finally 3-3 in the 4th quarter for a final score of 13-5. This weekend, the Lions are in Houston to take on Strake Jesuit and Clear Creek.
The varsity volleyball season began with an easy win on Monday against the Home School Athletic Association team. The week would end with the team’s first counter match against Casady School on their home court in Oklahoma City. Casady played almost flawless volleyball and took the first set easily. The Lions were able to gather themselves and keep things tight in the second and third sets, but costly errors at the end of each set allowed Casady to secure the straight-set victory. This week, the Lions take on Greenhill on the road on Tuesday and host Ft. Worth Country Day at 6 p.m. on Thursday.
