The Raptors U18
finished third in the U18 Division I State Cup
losing in the semi-finals to a very good United SC
3-0. It was a great season and the Raptors
Club gives its best wishes to 12 terrific seniors
who will soon be leaving for college. After
college, we hope to see some of them on the
sidelines coaching future Raptors teams!
Raptors U18 Girls Finish Atop the Division I State
League for the first time ever!
With one game still left on their state league
schedule,
the Raptors ’90 wrapped up the U18 AYSA state league
championship with a 1-0 win over the
Columbus, Georgia U18 team at Phenix City on
Sunday.
CROSS-COUNTRY RUNNERS
Raptors win Class 5A Cross Country Sectionals:
Decatur High School won the girls title
 behind the performances
of Raptor players: Sally Adams (first), Meg Adams
(2nd), Kylie Peebles (8th), and Megan Schmidt
(10th). Check out this interview with Sally Adams
"the most uncoordinated coordinated" runner
in the
Decatur Daily.
Meg & Sally do well in the
Dew It on the Trails 5-kilometer meet
Saturday at Point Mallard Park. There is a great
photo in the sports section (Page B-3) of today’s
Decatur Daily. Look at the muscle definition in
those arms from all the push-ups they’ve done all
year at Raptor’s practice. Sally finished 5th
overall.
ROBOTICS:
Priceville High was third in the
robotics competition, but won the BEST
competition with Hoover High finishing second. The
four teams advance to the South BEST Regional
competition Dec. 6-8 at Auburn University. The
Raptors Stephanie Varner is a big part of the
Priceville team. This will be her second year to
advance to the Auburn competition.
HOMECOMING BEAUTIES:
Claire and Megan were in Decatur High School’s 2007
homecoming court and Anna will be in Austin’s court
this coming week. Hopefully Anna will be in a
beautiful dress WITHOUT a matching ankle cast.
COVER GIRL:
Every resident of Decatur recently received a copy
of the Decatur Parks & Recreation Fall 2007
magazine. The Raptors club should get some terrific
publicity as the front cover photo was Raptors ’90
Georgia Gamble in her Raptors Orange uniform.

the
Class 4A, Area 14 all-tournament volleyball team.
