 This week in athletics

Great Job!

• Congratulations to Kathleen Stoler, Randi Kennedy, and Asia Goddard, who represented Woodmont as well as Greenville County in the State Special Olympic Cheer Leading Competition last weekend. Their team was awarded the bronze medal for their routine.

• Congratulations to the Faculty team for defeating the Intramural Champion team-the class of 14 by a score of 28 to 21.  The Faculty team was led by Coach Owens who led the team in all-purpose yards.  Coach Deschamps showed great hand eye coordination as he secured two touchdown passes.  Coach Fulton provided the defensive intensity to keep the class of 14 out of the endzone.  The Class of 14 continued to battle back under the quarterbacking skills of Cedric Sullivan but the faculty team would not be denied.  Coach Bryant provided the go ahead touchdown to secure the win for the faculty team.  Coach Evans would like to thank all students and coaches who came out and participated in intramurals this year to make it a successful year and reminds you to get your teams ready for next year!!!!!
