MS Soccer Update
The MS soccer team is 2-0-0 with a combined score of 10-1 over the first two matches against Mountain Island and Queen's Grant. The squad is playing great soccer and - while we need to shore up some things to improve - I expect this to continue as we aim to win the conference again.
So far Colton Cox has five goals; Casey Rhodes, two; Joey Weidman, two goals; and Dylan Changel with one goal. Weidman, Changela, and Bronson Valley also have shared in many of the assists while goalkeepers, Patrick Hannagan and Charlie Trammell (who have split time between the sticks) and their defense have one clean sheet.

TODAY: Varsity and J.V. Volleyball Teams Home vs. CSD
Come cheer on the Girls' Upper School Volleyball teams as they battle Community School of Davidson at our own Athletic and Community Center, TODAY, Thursday, Sept. 4.
The J.V. game tips off at 4:30 p.m. while the Varsity girls play at 6 p.m.
Gate fees are $3 for adults and students.
The PLP Volleyball Program has five new coaches that have started the year with a burst of enthusiasm for the Pride. Head Varsity Coach Jennifer Ivey stepped out of the middle school ranks to take the reigns of the Volleyball program. Her composure and experience with the Pine Lake girls has proved valuable as the girls were battle tested in their first seven contests to be ready for the SPAC conference where they lost to Cherryville in five games and to a tough Lincoln Charter team.
Other coaches new to the volleyball program include: Varsity Assistant Coach, Laura Meyerhoefer; JV Head Coach, Lauri Schatz; JV Assistant Coach, Amanda Allison; and Middle School Head Coach - Doug Deffenbaugh. - Contributed by Chad Hetherman, Athletic Director

Varsity Boys Soccer
Soccer bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Gray Stone Day with a victory at East Wilkes on Tuesday night by a score of 5-3. Senior Captain Michael Andreasen led the team with 3 goals and an assist with senior Cameron White and junior Zach Venkus adding a tally of their own.
This was the first match up for the two schools, and it was an impressive win for PLP's younger program.

Cheerleaders Raising Funds
The PLP US Varsity Cheerleading team will sell personalized yard signs at a cost of $20. The yard signs will be in the shape of a football, helmet (seniors only), megaphone, and a circular shape that could be used for golf, baseball, tennis, volleyball, soccer, and softball. Each sign will have the students name, jersey number, and year. If other sports such as cross country, track, or swimming wish to purchase a sign, additional designs could be created and added.
Families will be encouraged to display the signs in their yard on games days. Additionally, we would like to display the signs around the circle for special games such as homecoming and senior night.
See Alyssa Darnell ([email protected]) at the Lower School or Gretchen Little ([email protected]) at the Upper School to place an order.
