S P X GO LIONS! Fall Campus Report Golden Lions’ Sports Football - Season Record so far: 8-1 Cross Country - Boys & Girls both 3rd at Region Competition Cheerleading - Region Champs Softball - 10-1 Region record Volleyball - Elite Eight in State Tourney Football Facing a new all region schedule, the Golden Lions started the season off with a 5-0 record. Unleashing a brutal running attack, the Lions averaged 34 points per game while giving up under 10 points per game for the first five games. Led by Tyler Fish and Will Asip the veer offense was expertly run by quarterback Dylan Knight. The stingy defense is led by middle linebacker Jonathan Tinsley, a speedy sophomore playmaker who also runs the ball. Region 6AAAA saw a lot of surprises in the first half of the season with Tucker beating Marist and St. Pius beating Tucker. When the second half of the season resumed, the Lions put up another win against Cedar Grove and then headed into Hallford Stadium to meet SW DeKalb. The game played out as a defensive battle, and the Golden Lions broke a 7-7 tie late in the third quarter with a 50 yard run by QB Dylan Knight. The win earned St. Pius a playoff berth for the fourth time in Paul Standard’s career. The following week, St. Pius met the other unbeaten team in the region, Mays, and were upset 23-13. A huge Reunion/Homecoming crowd was on hand to see St. Pius struggle with turnovers. The final two weeks of the season had the region sorting out the playoffs berths and preparing for the St. Pius and Marist showdown on November 10th. Cross Country The harriers ran well in the region meet hosted by Marist with the boys finishing in third place and the girls grabbing a third place finish as well. Both teams look to do well in the state meet on November 11. Softball The Lady Lions played well on their new home field, posting a 10-1 region record and finishing runner-up. Unfortunately, the Lady Lions fell short of making the state tournament by losing three one-run games to end the season. “We were heartbroken at the end, but it was great to be on campus and to build a fan base for our girls,” said Coach Laura Novotny-Beaver. “We are working hard to be better next year as our young team matures,” she added. Their overall record was 17-10. Volleyball The Lady Lions advanced to the elite eight in State Tournament and were area runner-up. The 47-12 season shattered the win total by seven matches as they posted the lowest loss total since 1998. Jasmine Tyson finished her career on top of record book with the most aces and assists as well as the highest averages for each game. The Lions also were the winners of the Conyers Classic Gold Champion. Competition Cheerleading The Cheerleaders took first place in the Centennial High School competition. The squad competed in 6 meets and earned a berth in the state tournament when they recently secured the region championship. 10 14
Campus Happenings A lumni ssociation: Unveiling the Next 5 Years St. Pius X High School Alumni Association Co-Presidents Keith Carter ’81 and Kevin Richardson ’84 recently unveiled their vision for the future of the organization. They seek to increase participation by Alumni in the St. Pius community thereby improving the school’s image, character, funding, appeal to potential students, appeal to corporate sponsors, and ranking. The co-presidents come from different perspectives on Alumni affairs but concur on this new plan. Keith Carter ’81 serves St. Pius because of friends. “I made great friends when I was here, both on the football team and in the classroom. I have made new friends from the alumni ranks, and I feel this is home,” he says. Carter serves on other boards and is an analyst in the food business. “I love Friday night lights, and all of the enthusiasm that is the essence of high school. There is no substitute for this camaraderie. I love my Georgia Bulldog’s too, but this is really a special place,” Carter says. Kevin Richardson ’84 is a Human Resources Director and a proud St. Pius parent. “You really can get into sharing your kid’s experience by helping with the multitude of activities that make up a day here. I see old friends, meet new ones, and I feel like I make a difference in this community,” he comments. St. Pius X made the commitment to overall improvement in 2000 when the Archdiocesan school system opened Our Lady of Mercy and Blessed Trinity. Alumni Director, David Buechner ’73 comments, “We have made so much progress at St. Pius in the past six years, we have improved in every measurable way. We are reaching out to our alumni to share our pride in our school and its legacy. We have a vision for the future and are building our Alumni Association to bring us into the 50 th year and beyond of our school.” The Alumni Association hosts several major events for alumni each year. The biggest is Reunion/Homecoming Weekend which was held this year in October. Reunions are held every five years and are scheduled around the homecoming football game. Each reunion class plans it own party on the Saturday night of the weekend, while the Alumni Association hosts a Friday night cookout before the game and a Mass and Open House on Sunday. The Alumni Association also hosts The Alumni Classic Golf tournament in the spring. The Association hosts a variety of other events throughout the year including social outings and networking. Carter and Richardson envision more events to be held during the year in different places in the Atlanta area to make it more convenient for alumni to maintain contact. Exciting new Web-based communications are also part of the plan. To find out how you can get involved at St. Pius, call or email David Buechner 404-633- 4290 ext 273 or at dlb@spx.org.
