CAL Boys Golf Team Headed to State for 3rd Consecutive Year
On Tuesday, the boys varsity golf team participated in the 6th Region Tournament held at Charlie Vettner Golf Course and we’re pleased to announce that they are headed back to the state tournament for the third consecutive year. After winning the region two years ago and finishing runner-up last year, the boys managed to weather the storm (literally) and finish runner up again this year to St. X. After a four hour rain delay and wet conditions, the team was lead by Senior Spencer Swift’s 76 and Junior Jimmy Kev Clements’ 78, followed by Ben Montgomery, Jonathan Embry, and Jake Davis, to bring home the hardware and another trip to state. Way to go boys!

CAL Girls Golf Wins CAI Invitational
On Saturday, the CAL girls’ golf team was a last-minute entry into the Christian Academy of Indiana Girls Invitational at Hidden Creek Golf Club in Sellersburg, IN. An opportunity presented itself to be a replacement team in the CAI tourney and the Lady Centurions brought home all the hardware! The team enjoyed fellowship with their sister school and a small field of other Southern Indiana schools on a beautiful day on the course. This is the first girls’ golf trophy for CAL in at the last 5 seasons. The heavy overnight rain made the course play very long and difficult, but the girls persevered and claimed First Place Team honors with a 291 total. All four CAL golfers claimed individual honors. Sophomore, Abby Stivers led the way with a 93 to win 2nd place individual thanks to a great 42 on the back nine. Sophomore, Sarah Son was right behind Stivers with another strong outing to claim 3rd place with a 94. 5th Place went to sophomore Carly Clements with a strong finish score of 104, and freshman Emily Neat brought home the 10th place medal with a 122. This invitation taught the Lady Centurions a great lesson heading into several of their most important events of the season in the coming weeks. They learned that by toughing it out and hanging in there despite some bad holes, they can finish with an overall effort that still produces winning results.
CAL Sophomore Riley Thompson Commits to UL Baseball
CAL sophomore, Riley Thompson, has committed to play baseball at the University of Louisville. Thompson is one of the top pitchers in the midwest for the class of 2015. UL head baseball coach, Dan McDonnell met with Thompson over the weekend to discuss his future with the Cardinal baseball program.
“Riley is a great kid who works hard, and has a big-time arm. He consistently pitches 84-85 mph, but I’ve seen him touch 88-90 mph,” said CAL’s head baseball coach, Tim Brown.
“I have been playing baseball since I can remember,” said Thompson. “I love everything about UL’s baseball program. Coach McDonnell is a good Christian man who has made me feel really welcome.”
Riley started playing baseball for the Centurions in the 6th grade and began pitching for the Varsity team during his 8th grade year. Thompson pitched 8-2 last year as a freshman and has an ERA of 2.08.

Ben Montgomery Wins KIT, CAL’s Golf Team Places 3rd
CAL’s Varsity Golf team placed 3rd in the KIT (Kentucky Invitational Tournament) at Nevel Meade golf course on Sunday afternoon. The KIT is one of the largest golf tournaments with one of the strongest fields. CAL tied with a team score of 297 and West Jessamine Co. won in a playoff.
CAL’s team score was the lowest YTD with a team total of 301. Ben Montgomery was the overall winner with a score of 69. Montgomery’s playing partner rolled in a 40-foot birdie putt on the last hole to tie Montgomery at 2 under par. Ben proceeded to roll in his own 30-foot birdie putt to pull back ahead to 3 under par.
Spencer Swift and Jake Davis both shot 77, Jonathan Embry shot 78 and Jimmy Kev Clements shot an 85. This marked the first time CAL has had 4 scores below 80.
“Yesterday our golf scores were great but I was more impressed with the way our players represented their families, our school, and most importantly our Heavenly Father, said Coach Dortch. I cannot begin to tell you how many parents, coaches, players, rules officials, etc. came up and complimented our players. It is just good stuff!”
