Congratulations to the girls' varsity soccer team and Coach Andy McKean on a great season. Their playoff hopes ended on Tuesday when they fell to the #7 seed, the Glendale Cactus Cobras, 7-2 in the first-round match of the Division III state tournament. The Lady Eagles, seeded #10 in the tournament, finished the season at 14-3-1.

Looking back on the season, Coach McKean said, "The girls' season ended on Tuesday with a loss to a very skilled Cactus High School. It does not take away from a fantastic season that included a record 14 wins. We had phenomenal performances from the entire team, and special thanks to our four seniors--Kendall Woodard, Claire Rose, Walker Tuton, and Katharine Currault--for their dedication to the program."

On Saturday, January 19th, the PCDS women's varsity soccer team reached a milestone by winning its 100th game in program history.  The girls defeated rival Tempe Prep 4-0.  The Lady Eagles are having an outstanding season, as three recent wins have brought their division record to 11-1.  Ten consecutive victories have moved them to #8 overall in the Division III soccer rankings.  Coach Andy McKean has the highest praise for his players when he talks about what has made this team so successful. "A fantastic defensive effort by goalkeeper Saira Purewal, as well as defenders Amelia Montooth, Kat Currault, Karen Catano, and Jesse Edwards allowed only 5 goals during this 10 game win streak," he says.  He adds that Margaret Loncki's 15 goals and Remi Edwards nine goals have paced the Eagles scoring. Congratulations to the girls varsity soccer team and to Coach McKean and his staff.

The PCDS Boys Basketball Team defended its 2011 title by winning the 2012 Holiday Classic Championship defeating Camp Verde 71-56.  The Eagles went 4-1 in the tournament.  Senior Alex Sylvester paved the way to victory with 107 points for a 21.4 points per game average and hauled down 13 rebounds in both the semi-finals and final game.  Sophomore 3 point specialist Nihaal Reddy scored 87 points for a 5 game average of 18.6 and Freshman sensation Andrew Ekmark quarterbacked the offense with 50 assists and 87 points for an average of 17.4 points per game.  The Eagles have played 3 games in the New Year going 1-2 with a big win over Division 3 Bourgade Catholic 64-62.  The Eagles stand at a record of 10-9 as they try to make a push for the state playoffs.  Good luck boys!!!
