The Centurion football team entered Friday<br />
night’s game as <strong>10</strong>-point underdogs, but made<br />
a statement to the Bardstown Tigers, District 4<br />
and the state of Kentucky, that the CAL Centurion<br />
is no dog and an army of Centurions is a<br />
force to be feared. CAL handed the Tigers<br />
their first loss of the season, advancing a game<br />
closer to claiming another District 4 championship.<br />

The game began with hard hits in the trenches as Chad Meredith and John<br />
Popovich met Bardstown runners at the line of scrimmage, turning forward<br />
progress into hasty retreat. Six plays into the first drive, Popovich took the<br />
ball from the district’s top-ranked offense with a fumble recovery.<br />
The CAL offense then flexed its muscle<br />
with Nick Payne following a spirited<br />
offensive line into the open field where<br />
his quick moves escaped downfield defenders<br />
for the first touchdown of the game. Nathan Bader followed with a<br />
perfect extra point kick, bringing the score to 7-0 early in the first quarter.<br />
After another suffocating CAL defensive series, the offense took to the<br />
air. Nathan Christmas connected with Chad Lewellyn on a 36-yard pass,<br />
followed by a 48-yard touchdown aided by Lewellyn’s quick footwork after<br />
the catch.<br />
Lewellyn and Payne both added second quarter receiving and rushing<br />
touchdowns respectively, pushing the score to 27-0 with one final Bardstown<br />
possession of the first half. Zach Passafiume closed the first half<br />
with a <strong>12</strong>-yard tackle for a Bardstown loss, capping two quarters of a defensive<br />
statement led by senior Chad Meredith.<br />
The second half turned to special teams to make a statement when Lewellyn<br />
took the kick-off 85 yards for a touchdown. Austin Kurnick took a punt<br />
return later in the half 80 yards for a touchdown that, after Bader’s successful<br />
extra point, put CAL up 41-0: two rushing TD’s; two passing TD’s;<br />
two special teams TD’s.<br />
Bardstown’s top ranked offense turned the ball over twice, once to<br />
Popovich and another time to Blake Chelf on a fumble. Chelf, Meredith<br />
and Rider Sparrow accounted for <strong>10</strong> or more tackles each, holding the Tigers’<br />
offense to only a touchdown with seven seconds to go in the<br />
game. The final score: CAL 41 Bardstown 6.<br />
CAL takes this momentum into a game Friday in which DeSales is<br />
currently ranked higher, but the players and the fans know that these Centurions are full of fight and are dangerous.<br />

CAL 2 vs Nelson County 0<br />
Following Monday evening’s rainout game at Oldham County, the Lady Centurions<br />
(9-4-5) hosted Region 5 leader, Nelson County HS (<strong>12</strong>-6-0), on Tuesday,<br />
October 2 at the English Station Campus. Dominating play on both ends of the<br />
field, CAL marched to a convincing 2-0 victory with goals by Kenzie Dannelly<br />
and Kendall Moore; coupled by the outstanding goal keeping of Corinne<br />
Warlick and Molly Andres who recorded their 5 th shutout of the season.<br />
CAL spread the field early in the opening half and had multiple opportunities<br />
to score. Shots by Kenzie Dannelly, Kate Joss and Haleigh Fortuna were<br />
turned aside by the Nelson County keeper who recorded seven saves by<br />
halftime. Sydney Mathis, Lindsay Dunn, and Faith Shepherd found room<br />
to drive the ball down the wings for numerous crosses into the box, pinning<br />
the Nelson County defenders deep in their own zone for most of the half.<br />
The defense, led by Clare Andres, Annie Beanblossom, Kendall<br />
Moore and Laura English were tested early, as Nelson County tried repeatedly to slip there speedy forwards<br />
behind the back line. Midfielders Catherine Collins, Sarah Quinton, and Meg Mintman battled in the middle<br />
to disrupt Nelson County’s passing lanes and thwart their attempt to play the ball over top of the Lady<br />
Centurion defense.<br />
With 6:26 remaining in the half, Kenzie Dannelly beat two Nelson County defenders on the baseline and<br />
fired a low hard shot that bounded off of the keeper, giving CAL a 1-0 lead. The half ended with CAL clearly<br />
in charge of the field but with only a slim scoring advantage.<br />
CAL started the 2 nd half with a strong offensive effort, and with 33:42<br />
left, Kenzie Dannelly crushed a shot that hit the crossbar. Less than two<br />
minutes later, at the 31:23 mark, Kendall Moore pushed up from her defensive<br />
wing position and fired a shot from just outside the 18-yard line that<br />
beat the Nelson County keeper for a 2-0 CAL lead. Moore’s goal sealed the<br />
victory for the Lady Centurions; the 9 th of the season. (continued on next page)<br />

CAL 9 vs KCD 1 – SENIOR NIGHT<br />
The Lady Centurions rode to an easy 9-1 victory<br />
over Kentucky Country Day, on an emotional<br />
Thursday evening match at English Station, as the<br />
players and fans paid tribute to the five Seniors<br />
who have led CAL to back-to-back Region Championships.<br />
Pre-game ceremonies for Clare Andres,<br />
Catherine Collins, Kate Joss, Kendall<br />
Moore, and Taylor Smith, sponsored by the junior class parents, set a new<br />
standard for excellence and provide players, friends and families with a lifetime of<br />
lasting memories.<br />
Kate Joss, honored the next day as CAL’s 20<strong>12</strong><br />
Homecoming Queen, got the squad off to a<br />
quick start volleying in a perfect cross<br />
from Syndey Mathis in the first 3 minutes of<br />
the half, and then added her second of three<br />
goals at the 28:47 mark for a 2-0 lead. Also<br />
adding first half goals wereKenzie Dannelly<br />
and Haleigh Fortuna. With 18:32 still left in<br />
the period, CAL had a commanding 5-0 lead.<br />
Senior Night also saw the return of injured senior All-State goalie, Taylor Smith, who<br />
was allowed a 15 second “cameo” appearance to begin the game to the delight of her<br />
adoring teammates and fans. Taylor has continued to make great progress in rehabilitating<br />
her shoulder and is expected to return to the field for her Club team in late fall.<br />
The second half started with the Lady Centurions<br />
still on the attack. Senior Clare Andres scored in<br />
the first 30 seconds of the half and followed up with<br />
her second goal less than 90 seconds later for a 7-0 CAL lead. Three minutes later,<br />
with 33:38 remaining in the half, senior Catherine Collins scored on a low shot into<br />
the left corner for a 8-0 advantage. Rounding out the scoring for the evening was<br />
freshmen Allie Blackburn who scored the 9 th and final CAL goal of the evening.<br />

SENIORS HONORED AND VICTORIES WON IN THE BATTLES OF LEXINGTON!<br />
This week the Centurions took on Lexington Catholic at home, and then made a road trip to Lexington<br />
<strong>Christian</strong>. Prior to the Tuesday night match, CAL also honored its two seniors, Miranda<br />
Hunley and Hannah Stanfield, as well as five seniors from Lexington Catholic. These ladies<br />
will, no doubt, be missed.<br />
Miranda, daughter of Monte and Donna Hundley, has<br />
attended CAL since Kindergarten and played volleyball<br />
since elementary school. Says Coach Patty Ernst, “she has been a pleasure to<br />
coach because she always ‘keeps it real.’ She encourages her teammates on and off<br />
the court. Miranda’s been a great addition to our team this year as she adds a lot of fire<br />
power to the outside hitting position.” Her parents would like her to know, “it will be<br />
hard not seeing you on the court as part of the CAL volleyball team and no longer leading<br />
the life of volleyball parents.” Dad asks, “What will we do with all our time”<br />
Though she’s not yet chosen a college, Miranda intends to major in Biblical studies.<br />
Hannah, daughter of Darin and Melissa Stanfield, has attended CAL since the 3 rd grade<br />
and has played volleyball the entire time. Says Coach Patty Ernst, “she always makes<br />
things entertaining and has something ‘goofy’ to add when the situation becomes too<br />
intense. Hannah is a hard-working athlete with a heart for the game, and she strives to<br />
get better each day.” Her parents would like her to know,<br />
“we are certainly proud of the volleyball player you have become, but the Light that<br />
shines from within by your heart is what makes us most proud. Seventeen years ago,<br />
God decided to send you to challenge us to become more committed and more like<br />
HIM. You often have shown us the way by your sweet, loving, forgiving, gracious, merciful spirit! We love you! WOODA,<br />
WOODA, WOODA!” P.S. Dad says, “you have to see it, you have to find the ball!” Hannah intends to major in elementary education,<br />
but has yet to pick her college.<br />
The bittersweet Senior Night was made complete with a best two of three match against Lexington<br />
Catholic. CAL took the first set convincingly, 25-<strong>10</strong>. The score was tied nine times in<br />
set 2, but Lexington Catholic prevailed, 25-22. In set three, Lexington Catholic took the early<br />
lead, but CAL was able to tie at point 16 and go on to win the set and match, 25-22.<br />

CAL then took a road trip to Lexington Thursday night, where the Lexington <strong>Christian</strong> Eagles<br />
proved to be an equally-matched rival. Reminiscent of Tuesday, the Eagles honored their four<br />
in the palm of your Hand<br />
seniors as well as Hannah and Miranda. In game play, CAL appeared to be the stronger team<br />
in sets one and two, winning easily, 25-18, 25-19. In set three, the Eagles turned it on, however. Playing tricks with their deep<br />
court serves and strong blocks and kills by their powerful seniors, the Eagles won the set 25-19, resulting in a fourth game. Game<br />

How did you come to CAL I started coaching intramural flag football, then moved up to coaching middle<br />
school basketball and football. My son got a cyst on his brain and football was not longer an option. He<br />
wanted to find a fall sport to play so I decided to coach him in golf.<br />
What motivates you to coach The kids by far and away. I get more out of it than they do. It’s great to impact<br />
the lives of young people in a world that constantly pulls them in the wrong direction.<br />
How do you use golf to disciple your players Golf is a great life teacher. There is a tremendous amount of<br />
integrity involved in an individual sport that is played in a team format. You have to lift up and support teammates<br />
even when you don’t shoot a good round. You also have five hours to spend with your competitors.<br />
We talk to our players about impacting others for Jesus during that time.<br />
What are your passions in ministry I have a heart for men’s ministry and discipling young men. I once<br />
thought faith was an individual thing. I’ve concluded that men need other men to challenge, guide, and encourage<br />
each other. You can’t do it on your own.<br />
What spiritual lessons can be taught or learned through golf One mistake in a round doesn’t define who you<br />
are as a player. You are not going to have the best day every time you go out there. We all make mistakes<br />
but as long as you remain Christ centered and look to God’s Word you are going to be OK.<br />

Jonathan has a positive attitude, a strong work ethic, and<br />
knows how to rob other players of the ball. He's the type of<br />
player that will keep making runs forward, then running back<br />
to recover -- even when he doesn't get the ball -- because he<br />
realizes somebody needs to do it and he's generally a great<br />
defender. Because of his zeal and determination, we know he'll<br />

God has gifted Tommy with tenacity, courage and a smooth<br />
gazelle-like stride. He's like a soldier: He will lay down his life<br />
to prevent an attacker from getting by him. Like a famous<br />
American football coach, he has a "quiet strength." But as one<br />
or our two permanent captains, we were a better team because<br />
of that strength, especially as he became more and<br />
more communicative in the past couple of years. He has<br />
helped throughout his high school career with our summer<br />
soccer camp and, in addition, we've already offered him a job<br />
at Team Expansion when he gets out of college. Tommy, come<br />

It's a joy to watch Cam. When he's on, he's on. He'll somehow<br />
ricochet the ball off the opponent’s shin-guards, and<br />
then whip it up to the far post upper "V," completely losing a<br />
line of defenders. Yes, sometimes I wonder how he makes his<br />
magic, but I'm always glad -- unless it's during scrimmage,<br />
against me while I'm defending. Then I resent his speed,<br />
shooting ability, and what always appears to be luck. Fortunately,<br />
more often than not, he's whipping balls past his opponents<br />
and not his coach.<br />

Michael will always be the one to roll down his window and say,<br />
"Coach, the whole team is going to Buffalo Wild Wings. Want to<br />
join us" He sees the entire playing field of life, just like he sees it<br />
all from his position as central defender. And in life, as well as<br />
soccer, he gives his all to whatever he does. I count him as more<br />
than a team member. He's also a great friend to everyone.<br />

Goalkeepers have to be a little bit crazy to do what they do --and<br />
Matt fits the bill well. Seriously, who wants to intentionally throw<br />
himself on the ground, headlong into the path of an onrushing<br />
attacker, but that’s exactly what Matt did for us time after time.<br />
His physical size was intimidating, and his core strength also<br />
served him well. What's more, because he knew the team needed<br />
him to step up to the plate big-time, he took the initiative to<br />
get advanced goalkeeper training at camps, clinic and club. And<br />
we have been a better team because of it.<br />

Jake plays soccer just like he plays hockey: He's "all in." The crazy<br />
thing is, he hadn't even played soccer until his junior year. However,<br />
anyone who has watched him play can't help but notice the<br />
way he can change the course of a game, just by the work rate,<br />
hustle, and electricity he brings to the field. We would immediately<br />
call for a Jake-injection when the opponent took the momentum<br />
because Jake could usually find a way to reverse it. Whether he's<br />
serving in Akron or Africa, he'll do the same thing in the game of life<br />
as well, regardless of what he tackles -- and we hope he tackles<br />
missions.<br />

where his style of play compliments his teammates and his<br />
work ethic is second to none. Sheldon impresses by analyzing<br />
the opponent and making enlightening observations for the<br />
team to adjust and succeed. He may have a tender spirit, but<br />
his tenacity on the field speaks for himself. His drive is to never<br />
give up on the ball and I know that will translate off the field. He<br />
will set goals for himself in life and not settle for anything less<br />
than achieving his goals.<br />

CAL JV Volleyball Ends Season With Two More Victories<br />
They say that the 3 rd time is a charm. That wasn’t the case for the Centurions when facing Catholic school rivals<br />
this year, but on the 4 th attempt they finally came out on top. CAL defeated Lexington Catholic on Tuesday<br />
in two sets (21-17 & 21-14). The match was never in doubt with several hitters racking up multiple Kills.<br />
A great effort was made by all. Thursday the JV squad traveled to Lexington for a season finale versus LCA<br />
(Lexington <strong>Christian</strong> <strong>Academy</strong>). CAL easily defeated the Eagles in 2 sets capping off a victorious season.<br />

CAL 8TH GRADE GIRLS FIELD HOCKEY CONTINUES WINNING WAYS!<br />
CAL 3 - Meyzeek 0<br />
This was a second round tournament game at CAL and the 8th grade girls did not disappoint. They jumped<br />
on Meyzeek quickly with a goal from Taylor Curran early in the game. At halftime, the lady Centurions held<br />
onto their 1-0 lead - in large part due to very Good goalie play by Meyzeek.<br />
In the second half CAL took control with goals by Allie grace Joyner and Ella Loyd. Katie Jenkins had a great<br />
backhand assist across the circle to Ella for the final goal in route to the 3-0 win…just how Coach Cooper and<br />
Coach Joyner drew it up.<br />
The CAL defense deserves a shout out for continuing their dominance. They have still only given up 1 goal<br />
all year.<br />

SKILLFUL STICKS, SUFFOCATING STOPS, & SOLID SCORES SEND SEVENTH GRADE<br />
SQUAD TO CITY SEMIS!<br />
CAL’s 7th Grade Field Hockey squad opened the post season tournament with an<br />
impressive team effort against Noe Middle <strong>School</strong>. Steady, methodical attacks<br />
and a stifling defense led to a 6-0 win, and a slot in the City’s Final Four against<br />
Kammerrer.<br />
Once again last Thursday afternoon, CAL’s defenders and mid-fielders repelled<br />
every attempted advance by the opposing attackers, and CAL’s relentless offensive<br />
pressure kept most of the game in or around CAL’s scoring circle. Crisp<br />
passing between forwards led to numerous scoring chances, with a half dozen<br />
resulting in goals.<br />
On defense, goalie Sam Minrath never<br />
faced a Noe shot, and CAL’s defenders never gave up a penalty corner<br />
chance to Noe. CAL’s stingy defense was led on the point by Tori<br />
Haygood and Mackenzie Mellen, with Emily Warlick also contributing<br />
from the back line.<br />
CAL’s six goals included two outside drives, two scrambles, and two<br />
breakaways. The outside scoring drives were by Claire Thomas on a<br />
feed from Jamie Wright, and Wright on a penalty corner insert<br />
from Rachel Proffit. The scrambles included Elise Stivers cleaning up<br />
on a corner play; and Wright and Thomas teaming up for the game’s opening goal. The breakaway goals featured<br />
Alex Walker feeding a crisp pass to Stivers, who drove it home; and Sloan Redding with a nifty crossing<br />
feed to Anna Lee Holland for the score!<br />
Most impressive in this game was the solid team play by all of CAL’s<br />
girls. The passing and tackling skills, offensive and defensive positioning,<br />
and on-field communication added up to one of the best displays of<br />
teamwork this year. Another effort like last week’s will be needed on<br />
Friday night, when CAL faces a tough and improving Kammerrer squad<br />

CENTURIONS VS PATRIOTS<br />
CAL defense showed up in a big way on Saturday, October 6 th against the Patriots at Seneca High <strong>School</strong>.<br />
Big blocking and tackling by our defense impressed the fans from start to finish. After a Patriot kick off and<br />
an unsuccessful attempt by CAL the Patriots had a strong run at the goal early in the game. Impressive tackles<br />
by Charles Austin Sams and Nic Geary offered resistance, but the Patriots pushed through for an early<br />
touchdown in the 1 st quarter with a completed pass for the extra point. The score was Patriots 7, CAL 0. A<br />
second attempt at goal resulted in a 21 yard CAL punt to the 30 yard line by Elijah Smith. Back on defense<br />
CAL had TWO sacks by Luke Chambers and Justin Howes for a total loss of 9 yards and the Patriots turned<br />
the ball over on a loss of downs. A quick interception had CAL back on defense where we held the Patriots<br />
for another turnover on downs. Offense had a decent push down the field with rushing yards by Smith, Sams,<br />
Palumbino, and Paulson but turned the ball over on loss of downs. Our defense held strong with tackles by<br />
Sams, Graham, Crenshaw, Chambers, and Paulson. At the end of the half it was still Patriots 7, CAL 0.<br />
Our offense struggled against the Patriot’s defense in the 2 nd half, but we did gain rushing yards with Elijah<br />
Smith and Anthony Palumbino. On defense we had an exciting interception and impressive rush down the<br />
field for an almost TD by Charles Austin Sams, but there was interference called on the play. Another QB<br />
sack by Harrison Zimmerer with a 6 yard loss and tackles by Crenshaw, Griffin, Hornback, and McKinley<br />
held the Patriots back, but in the last minute of the game the Patriots ran for a touchdown on the 4 th down<br />
with :59 seconds in the 4 th quarter. CAL stopped the extra point for a final score Patriots 13, CAL 0.<br />
CAL played a strong game against this excellent team. GO CAL!<br />

OFFENSE EFFECTIVE, DEFENSE OPPORTUNISTIC<br />
In what would set a a league record for longest...game...ever, at a solid two hours, the 3rd<br />
and 4th grade football team took on the Louisville Oilers this past Saturday at home. The<br />
temperatures were cooler but the team stayed hot, despite two consecutive cancellations.<br />
The Oilers opened the first drive of the game with a 6 yard run. The defense forced a fumble<br />
on the next play, and after a momentary scramble, their running back ran 51 yards for a<br />
touch down. After an unsuccessful conversion, the visitors led 6-0 with 7:29 to play in the<br />
first.<br />
The first Centurion drive of the game was set up nicely by Joshua Spainhour's 15 yard return.<br />
On the first play from scrimmage William Paar peeled off a 23 yard run. Tyler Lagastee then<br />
hit Trey Jorgensen for a 22 yard pass that Jorgensen took to the one. William Paar capped the<br />
scoring drive from one yard out. With a successful conversion the Centurions went up 7-6 with<br />
6:32 left in the first.<br />
The Oilers could not convert on a fourth down pass play that was nearly intercepted by Keaton<br />
Foster. This would be foreshadowing for three coming Centurion interceptions!<br />
Cal took over on the Oiler 49. On their second snap Conner Haun ripped off a 26 yard run to the 17. Brandt Babin took it to the<br />
house on the next play. The conversion was no good but the home team led <strong>12</strong>-7 with 1:50 still left in the first.<br />
Short gain by 31-8 for 26 to 17<br />
Cal kicked off to the Oilers, but again turned them away on four downs. After a loss on two<br />
plays, Reece Vincent chased an Oiler out of bounds for a five yard loss, setting up a long<br />
fourth down. The ensuing pass was picked off by Brock Ruckriegel - who's named would be<br />
called a lot during the game!<br />
On the first play after the turnover on downs, Babin broke 3 tackles to grab a 42 yard touchdown!<br />
the conversion was good and CAL led 19-7.<br />
The Oilers would score on their next possession making it 19-13. However, the Centurions<br />
would march right back down the field with big runs by Babin, Lagastee, and the eventual TD by Conner Haun- thanks to superb<br />
blocking by their offensive line. The conversion would be good, bringing the score to 26-13 halfway through the second quarter -<br />
which would remain till half. (Yea...long half...)<br />
CAL would receive to open the second half, but eventually turn it over on downs.<br />
The Oilers would take over on their own 48, but after a big stop by Ruckriegel, Spainhour picked the next pass for the home team's<br />
second interception!<br />

From their own 43, after a modest first down gain, Paar had a run of 20 and 19 behind more solid blocking by the offensive line!<br />

The drive would stall after a holding penalty and the home team would turn the ball over on downs inside the red zone.<br />
