Falling short only to the Perry Meridian Falcons, the Southport Girls Swimming & Diving team eked out a second place standing in the six-team Southport Classic on Saturday, December 5th. The Lady Cards beat Bishop Chatard by only one point.
The final score was Perry Meridian 128, Southport 61, Bishop Chatard 60, Heritage Christian 43, Cardinal Ritter 25, Owen Valley 4.
“We’re ecstatic,” said Assistant Coach Anastasia in an interview the Monday after the meet. She noted that in all, forty personal bests were attained over the course of the meet. She also said that among other notable performers were junior Lizzy Dart who won the 100 meter fly, senior Shelby Ogle who dropped time in at least one of her events, and sophomore Kristin Kelly who achieved a personal best in each event she competed in.
“It was an awesome meet,” said Coach Anastasia. “The team really stepped up as a whole, you could tell by the look on the kids’ faces that they knew they had done well.”
Anastasia noted that her confidence rests heavily on the fact that whereas last year the team won a mere three meets, this year they have only lost once, and they’re only three meets into the season.

The Cards boys’ basketball team came out firing the other night against south side rival Center Grove, but the boys couldn’t keep the steam going throughout the second half and eventually fell to the Trojans 69-55. Kellon Thomas led the Cards in a hard fought game with 19 points and five assists. Southport had a great first half, and went into the locker room with a lead, but Center Grove fought back strong and controlled the game from the third quarter on.
“There was a four minute stretch at the beginning of the third quarter that really put us behind,” said head coach Wes Peek, “aside from that four minute stretch I thought we were aggressive on both ends of the floor.”
The Cards will look to get back on track tonight as they travel to take on Greenfield Central. Tipoff is at 6:00pm.

Southport beat Washington 74-6 on Monday Nov. 30. According to Coach Mr. Todd Weaver, it went pretty well. Before the meet, they worked on how to get away from wrestlers when they leach onto each other, but working on it didn’t help much at the meet.
“[freshman] Frankie Trevino and [senior] Vinny Parmer wrestled very well. We could see a lot of what we were working on in their matches. Our weakness is not wrestling hard to whole match and Frankie did the best of anyone with continuing to wrestle the whole time and not giving up.”
They are working on fixing their mistakes in practices.

Southport went 4-1 at the Princeton Super 6 tournament on Nov. 21. According to coach Todd Weaver, they didn’t wrestle very well. He wasn’t very pleased but at the same time, if a team goes 4-1 the first meet they have a lot of potential.
“Right now we have a lot of guys with bad practice habits,” said Weaver. “They drill how they want to drill and not how we want them to and it shows up in meets. That was probably the thing I was most disappointed with at the meet.”
Junior John Cleary and seniors Vinney Palmer and Jordan East went undefeated. According to Weaver, Cleary wrestled very well. He had some tough competition but still pinned four out of the five guys he wrestled.
