2008 Cavalier Athletic Conference

CHAMPIONS!!! posted 9 May 2008

Congratulations to the 2008 MMA Girls Softball Team on their 11-8 Win over the Number 1 seeded and defending conference champions Mt. View!!! The Softball team lost to Mt. View early in the regular season, but showing their determination they proved themselves champions Thursday. Our hats off to you for a job well done, you worked hard and you all earned it.

On the other side the Boys Baseball team fell to SVA in a very good ball game, 7-0, A game that was 1-0 until the 4th inning

and could have gone either way. The boys did MMA Proud and showed a lot of class. For the members of the team that were here last year it was tough losing in the championship 2 years in a row. Good Job.

Make sure if you see any of these players both the boys and the girls give them a pat on the back for doing MMA sports proud once again, taking the field in the purple and gold of MMA and doing it with class and outstanding sportsmanship.

Great Job
