Hope and Love for Haiti
Wondering how to help Haiti, whose citizens
are struggling to recover from the
catastrophic earthquake that rocked the

shirts for $10.00, with 100 percent of the
proceeds to go to Haitian relief efforts.
Special thanks go to Hanesbrands,
which donated 1,000 shirts and the help of
a designer, and to senior Danielle Nelson,
who spearheaded the project.
The T-shirts are available to purchase in the

FCDS Furies Finish NCISAA State
Tournament as Runners Up
The Furies showed extremely well at the 2010
NCISAA State Wrestling Tournament. The coaches
were very proud of the performance of all wrestlers,
and the Furies showed characteristic grit and determination
through the tough competition.
Eighth grader Atticus Funk (103) wrestled very
well in his first state tournament. After dropping his
first match, Atticus picked up a pin over Pierce Tooley
of Kerr-Vance Academy and another one over
Christ School’s Banks Simmons, earning six team
points for the Furies. Seventh-grader Brad Murphy
(112) contributed four points to the team score in
one of the most exciting matches of the early
rounds. In a see-saw battle with Oleg Terentiev of
Charlotte Latin, Murphy was trailing 13-9 in the
third period when he turned the older Hawk and
earned a pin. Junior James Pike (119) fell to Matt
Plaus of PDS in the quarters but came back to earn a
major decision over Christian Clinton of Fayetteville
Christian. Another valiant effort came from eighthgrader
Jordan Budd (125) who picked up team
points with a consolation round pin of Asheville
School’s Mitchell Muir and a decision over Nick
Burrow of Southlake Christian.

Junior Cole Edwards (130) won his third consecutive
NCISAA title . After pinning Southlake’s
Sam Bryant and defeating Peter Ryan of PDS, Edwards
faced Sean Langston of Charlotte Latin in
the semi-finals. Trailing 2-1 in the third period,
Edwards earned an escape to send the match to
overtime. An impressive takedown clinched the
victory as throngs of Fury fans erupted in
cheers. Edwards won his state title with a thirdperiod
fall of Northside Christian’s Maverick
Starkey. Eighth-grader Brian Murphy (135) wrestled
well in his first state tournament but fell short
in his bid for a state title. Junior David Wall (140)
wrestled very well to earn a return trip to the state finals.
After pinning Charlotte Country Day’s Austin
Baker, Wall faced a formidable opponent in Joe Borrelli
of Charlotte Christian, who he edged in a well-wrestled
4-3 tilt. Wall faced Latin’s Ross Calhoun in the finals
but dropped a close decision. Junior Christian Funder
made his fourth trip to
the state finals with
dominant performances
in a pin of Latin’s Sam
Booke and technical fall
Richie Erb of PDS. He
won his third NCISAA
title with an impressive
pin of CCD’s Reid
Palmer, further adding to
the Fury point total.
After missing much of
the season due to injury, junior
Jay Baughan (152) contributed
significantly to the team’s total
points. In one of the tournament’s
toughest weight classes,
Baughan pinned Charlotte Christian’s
Jake Stidham and Austin
Hill of Ravenscroft and won by
major decision over Asher Lipsitz
of PDS before being eliminated
by bronze medalist Sam Remick
of Southlake Christian. Junior
Stout Watson (160) continued a season of dominance by
pinning his way through the tournament. He retained
his undefeated record and earned his third state title with
falls of CCD’s Nic Adamson and Grant Catoe of Christ
School. Watson won his third state title with a pin of
Phillip Stone of Asheville School. Two-time NCISAA
runner-up Kwame Seymour (171) took advantage of his
The Fury Times February 22, 2010

last shot at a state title with his typical flair and uptempo
style. After notching a pin of Southlake’s Hunter
Latshaw and a victory over Greensboro Day’s Blaine
Browning, the Fury senior faced #1 seed Temple Sloan
of Ravenscroft. A slick ankle pick in the first period
helped Seymour build a lead he would never relinquish,
capturing the state championship with
a 4-3 victory. Junior Lauri Anttila
(189) proved to be an impressive
rookie and added to the Fury team
total with consolation round pins over
Ben Willis of Asheville School and
Kerr-Vance’s Tabbert, who had
pinned Anttila earlier in the season.
The final Fury in competition
was defending state champion Brett
Harris (285). The Fury
senior pinned Latin’s
Nick Sella and Jonathan
Wells of Greensboro
Day to repeat as the best
private school heavyweight
in the state.
The coaches would
like to extend their gratitude
to all of the volunteers
who made the
tournament a smashing
success. Student and
faculty volunteers
manned the clocks and kept score to keep the event running
smoothly. Special thanks go to the wrestling parents
who staffed the concession stand, hospitality room,
and supplied both the team table and hospitality room
with excellent fare. We also would like to thank the athletic
department for all of its support and hard work
throughout the event.

This year has been a tireless time of
reorganizing the fine arts department!
The entire faculty has worked closely to
re-examine curriculum and ask key questions about what
we teach and why. We have met by department monthly
to establish stronger working relationships and to
consistently examine our practices as educators and our
developing programs. The fine arts has become a unified
team, and—together—we hope to continue to create
programming that is innovative, creative, and that engages
our students in the arts today, next year, and for life!
As we continue through this year and into the next, the
department will continue to develop strategic goals
internally that will serve to develop us professionally and
push the school forward as a leader in the arts. Our goals
are always to serve our students and to demonstrate leadership
in the arts through our various professions.
We look forward to seeing you this week at one of the
Oliver! performances and to celebrating the countless
hours our students and faculty have dedicated to making
this production a success!
