The Men's Cross Country Team has had a strong showing so far this year. NCSSM dominated the first two meets, placing 9 of the top 12 and 7 of the top 9 runners in the Northwood and Cedar Ridge meets, respectively. This Saturday at the Durham Academy Invitational the Unicorn Men had a very strong race, placing third out of eight teams, behind only 3A perennial powerhouse Chapel Hill High School and defending Independent School State Champion Durham Academy. NCSSM placed ahead of four 4A schools and had 6 runners who had better times than our school's fastest runner at this point in the season last year. It looks like the Cross Country team is off to a promising year. Congratulations to Eli, Justin, Elliot, and Caleb, all of whom had season-best times at Saturday's meet. Keep up the good work!

Unfortunate Losses
Over the past week, NCSSM's soccer team has suffered some unlucky losses. There was a 2-1 loss to Carrboro last Thursday, and a 2-1 loss to Cedar Ridge last night. The team now stands 2-2 overall. Both games were tough. Both opponents dominated the game until the last 20 minutes. Both goals were scored by Matt Hughes. The goals were able to intensify play but unfortunatly were not enough to get the win.
After practice today, and a long talk, things look like they are turning around for the team. The next game is Monday away. Hopefully the Uni's will be able to bring home the win.
Another notable hall mention is Neal Lewis has been names one of the junior captains. He has not been able to play due to a knee injury, but we hope to see him back for Monday's game.

5-3 Win over Roanoke Rapids
Today the NCSSM men's soccer team defeated Roanoke Rapids 5-3 at home. It was an intense match with many lead changes. A few notable mentions from first hunt were Richi and Neal with 2 goals apiece. Matt, Dustin, Clint, and Spencer all played strong defense. Martin played outside midfield with great skill as well. This game was an important win because it was our first home game, and Roanoke Rapids play similar to the teams we play in conference. With a few minor adjustments, we are looking forward to a good season.
