8th Grade 'Cats run WILD on Cougars in historic win!

The 8th grade football team hosted York in a highly anticipated match-up on Wednesday and put on a historic performance in front a huge crowd that definitely received far more football value than their ticket price suggested! Behind THREE interception returns for touchdowns, a punt return for a touchdown and a fumble returned for a touchdown in the closing seconds, the Wildcats defense completed dismantled the visiting Cougars from York, blazing the trail to a school record 56 points in victory! Final score: Wildcats 56, Cougars 6!  The stands at the game, played at District Three South Stadium on the campus of South Pointe High School, was filled with prideful Wildcats from 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, along with faculty and staff members, that trekked from the Trail to the Pointe in support of their team! With the Pep Band, directed by Mrs. Amler, playing enthusiastically in the background and the World's Greatest Cheerleaders performing with unparallelled spirit, it was hard for outsiders to tell if there was actually a high school game going on a Wednesday! Next up is a tough road challenge at Rawlinson Road!

Great job, 'Cats! Continue to work just a hard in the classroom as well!

What do you get when you cross Hollywood Squares, Family Feud, and SC History?

Answer: Mr. Herring's Social Studies Class!

In a head to head competition on Wednesday, Mr. Herring's students played a spirited game to review for their test. In his Core 4 class, it was a boys against girls rivalry and the girls prevailed victorious in the first match. See the video below for the game winning point. This is proof that studying doesn't always have to be boring!

En Garde!!

The epic battle between Mrs. DePinto and Mr. Moton in PE! Yes, we will do just about ANYthing for our students!!

8th Graders: YOU HAVE BEEN CHALLENGED!!

The 6th and 7th grade classes have thrown down the gauntlet and have issued a challenge to see which grade level is REALLY the most spirited!  Show that you are the Top Cats of The Trail by coming out in full force to support our 8th grade football team as they host York on this coming Wednesday in a battle of two heavyweight programs!  The game will be held under the lights at South Pointe High (5 pm).  We will walk as a school over to District Three South Stadium and show the Cougars of York what WILDCAT PRIDE is all about!! Please have your ride there to pick you up by 6:30 pm at South Pointe since we will not walk back to Saluda Trail after the game.  Tickets will continue to be sold through lunch on Wednesday and the grade level with the most student body attendance will earn the right to dress in their team spirit gear (dress down) on next week!  Surely the 8th grade Class of 2014 will not be outdone by the 7th and 6th graders...or will they?!!
