3 The Varsity baseball team is looking to build on their playoff run last year. They currently have a 6-2 record and are ranked second in the ICSGA South Region. There are many returning players that include seniors Zarren Riley and Angel Marrero. Also returning is junior Taylor Martin and sophomores Torrey Bryant, Manny Burgos, and Justin Barnett. The team has worked extremely hard this season and has pushed through many adversities, such as weather conditions or injuries. Newcomers to the team are junior CJ Dunnum, sophomore Christian Beckham, and freshman Max Hall. There is also a new head coach, Jeff Mitchell, who played college baseball at Atlanta Christian College, now Point University. The Middle School has returned to the field after taking a year off due to a lack of players, but this year about sixteen young men came out and showed interest. This growth and success is due to the new coach Rich Day s recruiting and determination to have a team. Of the sixteen new players, eighth graders Marcell Gleaton and Luke Campbell play on both the Middle School and Varsity teams. We are very excited to see our baseball program continue to grow and the young Knights are coming off of their first win defeating Griffin Christian on April 9th.

6 Track and Field Article by CCS Media Team This season of CCS Track and Field has taken off with a great start! There is a middle and high school team, with over 30 high school participants. The middle school girls were able to place 2nd in their first meet! The track and field team has participated in four meets so far. However, none of these meets qualify competitors for state. The region meet is April 22 at Mill Springs Academy in Alpharetta. Coach Dave Wilkerson is very impressed with the growth of the track and field team compared to last year. With the growth, there is a higher possibility of having more competitors qualify for the GISA State Championship. Last year, three CCS student athletes qualified, and CCS is looking to build on that success.
