Swimming: The CV Raider swim team kicks off the season with new coach Mackenzie Settelmeyer! Athletes report positively about her and feel hopeful as they prepare for the upcoming season. Both the boys and girls teams aim to reclaim previously held district and state titles. Their meet schedule is as follows. Basketball: The wildly successful girl’s basketball team is hoping to get another shot at the Championship game this season after making the championship game the last two years. The Raiders are a relatively young team, returning only two seniors. One of which, Charlotte Patel, has committed to play basketball at Pomona College. Despite a tough start to the season, the boy's basketball team would like to turn it around and gain momentum. Last year the boy's team put on a show at the playoffs. Coming in ranked as the 15th seed the Raiders ended up bringing home a third-place trophy. Although CV has lost many key seniors there is no doubt they are always a contender come playoff time.
Wrestling: CV wrestling has a new coach this year in Jackson Gillet. Historically the Raiders Wrestling program has had incredible success in recent years with multiple 4x State champions as well as multiple team titles. While the team has lost star seniors Daschle Lamer, DJ Gillet, and Ben Hartman, participation is growing going into the first meet.

The fall sports season is wrapping up, and with it, our athletes here at Crescent Valley High are reflecting back on a fantastic autumn. Overall, CV has had an extremely successful season in many of our sports, gaining impressive achievements and team building skills. Our games had high attendance, with so many CV students improving their athleticism and showing off their skill.
Both girls and boys soccer had an amazing season, earning a league championship and a spot in the playoffs, with boys soccer being the #1 seed in the playoffs. Both teams secured a place in the state tournament. The overall score for the boys soccer team is now 12-2-2 and the league score is 6-0-2. The girls team has an overall score of 10-3-3 and a league score of 6-1-1. When asked about how the team improved, Varsity player Anna Lee stated ¨I thought our passing improved pretty quickly and ended up being one of our greatest strengths. We also got better at moving more numbers up in the field on offense.” As for team atmosphere, Anna commented ¨Everyone is really supportive and encouraging on and off the field. We all work really hard, but practices are as fun as they are exhausting, and team dinners are some of my favorite parts of the season¨. Our CV Cross County teams had a fantastic season, with all teams running seven races and both varsity teams making it to the state championship. The girls won a championship league title and five girls earned a place in the Nike Cross Regionals, where CV Junior Emily Wisniewski took first place. “I think our district title and 3rd place finish at state were our biggest accomplishments,” says Wisniewski. “I really enjoyed traveling to Washington and Idaho with the team and being able to join some bigger invitationals”. As a member of the JV girls team who had not previously been in any sports, I can say that I was surprised by the amount of support and encouragement there was in Cross Country, all while everybody still kept a determined focus on improvement. Volleyball had an absolutely astounding season with many victories that ultimately landed them an overall score of 30-2-1 and an undefeated league score of 14-0. The Varsity team did astonishingly well at state, and through hard work and determination they became the repeat state champions. ¨It was encouraging to watch new varsity players and new players to our school adjust and improve throughout the season,¨ says Varsity player Sarah Marshall. ¨It was always nice to come to practice with teammates who are there to support and teach each other.¨ Congratulations to the volleyball team for such a good season! In all thus far, CV football has a 2-8 score. The games had high attendance and fantastic game-day Raider spirit, with the bleachers packed full of excited spectators. Our school has much hope for the future games this year and the potential of turning the score around. Good luck, CV football! Cheer has been doing great so far this year with multiple people competing in All-State. Isabella Desalvo, a cheer athlete, gives credit to the new coaches for their success and improvement thus far. ¨They have brought the team to a whole new level and really push us to do our best.¨ ¨The team is like an extra family, we all support each other. There are always ups and downs but we work through those as a team and strive to always get better and learn more,¨ she adds. Make sure you keep an eye out for cheer´s accomplishments the rest of the year, as the season is just getting started. Isabella notes, ¨I can't wait to see where we are headed as we move into competition season and later on into basketball season.¨ We’re all extremely proud of all of our athletes and their accomplishments at Crescent Valley, and look forward to the winter sports and the continuing cheer season. Congratulations and good work to all students who participated in a sport this season, and if you’re thinking about joining a winter sport, we encourage you to try it out. Keep up the good work this year, Raiders! |
