Dunwoody High baseball held a pre-game ceremony Friday to honor the coaches and players who won the state championship in 2007 on their 10th anniversary. As the veterans came onto the field, the current varsity team gave the champions T-shirts with their names and numbers on them. As they took pictures and the former coaches received plaques, brief descriptions were read about each player and their life, now, 10 years later. It was a touching ceremony as the journey of talented individuals who brought such pride to the community were celebrated for their victory and recognized for their post-educational achievements.

Former Coach Tom Bass commented how he was “proud of his team, to be a part of Dunwoody baseball, and of the excellent men his players have become”.

After the ceremony, the Wildcat baseball team kept the spirits high by beating the North Atlanta Warriors 8-5. The team created its greatest lead in the third inning when the Wildcats scored six runs. Although the Warriors had a slight comeback in the fourth inning by scoring four runs, it was not enough to overtake the Wildcats. Standout players on Dunwoody’s side included Greg Martin who drove in three runs and Jack Hardin with two RBIs and one run scored.

Also with a victory this week, the girls’ tennis team beat Pope High School 3-2 on Thursday. Mary Mclean Edwards won 6-1, 6-3; Jaydra von Behren won 6-0, 6-4; and doubles team Gracie Ackaway and Lauren Hughes won 6-1, 6-1. This weekend the JV and varsity girls played a tournament in LaGrange, Ga. The JV team won the tournament in their division while the varsity girls made it all the way to the finals. On the flip side, the boys’ tennis team lost their only match this week to Pope High School 1-4. Cole Brainard won in two sets 6-3 and 6-4; Cade Lautenbacher lost 7- 6, 2-6, and 4-6; Matthew Missouri lost 4-6, 4-6; doubles team Daniel Bynum and Adam Drucker lost 4-6, 3-6; and doubles team Russell Heidbreder and Parker Garrett lost 2-6, 3-6.

The boys’ lacrosse also had a tough week as they lost their only game to Centennial High School 23-5, a very tough team. Great efforts were made by Adam Hydrick in the cage with 14 saves, Charlie Zeigler with two goals, Davis Wachel with two goals, and Connor Brogdon with one goal. The girls’ lacrosse team, on the other hand, had a great weak as they beat both Norcross on Tuesday, 16-6, and Lakeside on Wednesday, 18-0.

As for track, Ariel Lawrence placed well by winning the long jump and getting third in the triple jump. The DMR team (Kayla Blaise, Ally Womble, Samantha Cameron, and Kelly May Sheehan) placed second while the 4x800 team (Tanzania Lily, Ally Womble, Ellie Canalichio, and Kelly May Sheehan) placed third.
