“When I first saw the girls I got scared, there were so many of them on their team compared to ours! I was also extremely nervous because April wasn’t there, either!” Volleyball The girls’ volleyball team has been working really hard this season. The Lady Stars’ first game of the season was on Thursday, August 27, against Eastern Mennonite. Although they did not come back with a win, they did their best to keep on moving forward. On Monday, September 9, there was a home game against Mt. Carmel Christian. This was by far one of the longest games (time wise) due to an injury of a volleyball team member, April Minter, who had to be taken to the emergency room. This left the remaining girls a little frazzled, but they endured through it all

and came out victorious. The Lady Stars won three games, making them the winner overall against Mt. Carmel Christian. The volleyball team wanted to dedicate their win to their injured team member, April. “When I first saw the girls I got scared, there were so many of them on their team compared to ours! I was also extremely nervous because April wasn’t there, either!” was one of the Lady Stars’ feelings when she had to face Massanutten Military Academy. Although they were pretty large in numbers, the Lady Stars put their game face on

and demonstrated good skills and teamwork. They ended the game with three wins, making them the overall winner against Massanutten Military Academy. Monday, September 16, the girls’ volleyball team faced Highland View Academy, one of our sister schools. The excitement in the gym was very high while everyone watched the girls on the court. Many of the games were really close, but the Lady Stars were always a couple points up ahead. The girls were able to celebrate a victory against Highland view Academy with a win of 3-0. Soccer Thursday, August 16, was the first game for the boys’ soccer team. They were really excited about the fact that they were starting their season. The boys had to travel to EMU campus to face Eastern Mennonite soccer team. In the beginning of every sports season, it takes a while getting used to playing with new people, but our soccer team preformed as if they had played and practiced together for ages. They were precise with their kicks, and communicated beautifully and encouraged one another. During the first game, there were times where there were

some opportunities for a goal, and when they saw it they would try and go for it. David Cesar was able to make four goals with the assist of others which led to SVA’s win against Eastern Mennonite. Monday, September 16, the Boys’ Soccer team faced Highland View Academy. There was a great turnout of spectators that day from both sides that encouraged their teams throughout the whole game. To many guys, going against Highland View Academy is the highlight of their sports season because of how high the competition gets. Many

times the guys were neck in neck trying to steal the ball from the opposing team. 27 Legs flew high in the air, balls missed their goals, shots were blocked, and some people were hurt, and the competition ran even higher. Through many offsides called and defensive turn back, David Cesar was able to score three goals and Breno Maia was able to score two goals. All of this put us ahead of Highland View Academy and the guys and spectators of Shenandoah Valley Academy were able to celebrate a win of 5-2.
