SUMMER 2021 Wrestling The Saints Wrestling team began their season by mourning the loss of their Head Coach, Chad Bottorff, due to COVID-19 complications. They pulled together with the common goal of winning the programs first 1A-4A State Championship, defeating Pulaski Academy 193 to 190. The Saints also won their first 4A West Conference Championship, finished 3rd at 4A Dual State, and started a youth and girls' wrestling program. Three wrestlers earned individual state titles including Preston Katzer (113lb), Cameron Arellano (182lb), 3-time State Champion, Gavin Goddard, who finished his dominant career as the school leader in career wins (130) and career pins (75). Trap Shooting The 11th Shiloh Trap season was exceptional. There were 59 shooters on the team and 19 of them were new to the sport. Regionals were held in Jacksonville where one junior team (6th-8th graders) and three senior teams (9th-12th graders) qualified for state. One of our senior teams placed 3rd at Regionals. Ten shooters scored their first 25/25, three scored 50/50, and one scored 75/75. We also had 13 of our senior team members compete in the Arkansas State Clay Target League. They placed 1st in regionals and state and qualified for Nationals in Minnesota. Noah Bowerman received All-State honors and was recognized as the top shooter through regionals. Soccer The Lady Saints Varsity Soccer team finished 9-5-2 for the season. The Lady Saints defeated Joe T Robinson in the first round of the 4A State tournament, then lost to the eventual State Champion Pulaski Academy in the quarterfinal game. The team continually improved throughout the season with ball control and team play across the pitch. All 20 players on the roster were valuable assets for the team, on and off of the field. These players earned special honors: 4A All-State: Ryli Russ, Regan West, 4A State All-Tournament Team: Kallie Mulcahy, 2021 All-Star Soccer Team: Ryli Russ, 4A Northwest All-Conference: Ryli Russ, Regan West, Elly McDonald, Kallie Mulcahy, Olivia Grace Silvey, Bailee Patrick, and Lily Alexander. Cheer The 2020-2021 cheer season was full of special and unique experiences. With so much in question pre-season, the girls had an enhanced level of gratefulness for every practice, game, and competition. The competition team worked diligently throughout the fall and received the ultimate reward of a State Championship, the third in Shiloh Cheer history. Not only did they earn the 3-4A Cheer Game Day State Championship in the morning, they also cheered the football team on to their own State Championship a few hours later. Avery Brunton was named to the AAA All-State Team, and Anna Claire Hay was named to the AAA All-Star Team. SPORTS: SEASON SUMMARIES 23
