Junior Esme Barraz reaches for the ball in last Tuesdays game against LBJ, one of McCallum’s most formidable district competitors. “They are second in the district, and last time we played them, we won in overtime,” Barraz said. “This being said, we really brought our energy and were able to execute enough to win.” The Knights worked hard to support each other and executed successful plays to bring home the win and maintain the first place title.

BACK TOGETHER AGAIN: Former McCallum soccer players pose for a group photo at the annual varsity vs. alumni match. The teams of graduated Knights consisted of students as recent as the Class of ‘22 all the way back to 2003. After two years of COVID delays, coach Nick Martin was finally able to hold the match on Dec. 28.  “[The alumni game] provides like a continuity for the program. It doesn’t matter what year you are,” Martin said. While some organizational changes were made to the event this year, with matches being held tournament style rather than a free-for-all, Martin maintained the spirit of community that the match holds for his past and current players.  “Getting the chance to come back and see each other whilst also playing some soccer is something me and my friends have a hard time turning down,” class of 2021 alumn Aiden Golliher said. “I’d predict and hope that as the years continue, the close-knit community the boys varsity had will continue [and] that will allow this program to grow.” Caption by Francie Wilhelm.

Sophomore Lucca Lewis earned one of her two victories at the tournament by defeating a familiar opponent from Anderson whom she had beaten previously. In the final moments of a tight match Lewis delivered the move that earned the win. My thoughts were just to pick her up and drive, just get her to the floor, Lewis said.

The freshman B girls basketball team breaks from a huddle at the Dec. 9 game against Travis. While the Knights lost 38-8, coach Catherine ONeal said that the players maintained a winning attitude. “The big win of the game was that they didn’t let the big score gap deter them from playing hard,” O’Neal said. “They were positive in the second half and played better.”
