This afternoon's softball game scheduled at Avery High has been postponed due to weather. No information on a make-up date has been passed along, but when we know, we'll post it here.
In other news, the Avery Vikings women’s track team has won the Spring 2008 NCHSAA Scholar-Athlete Team Award with a cumulative grade point average of 3.754. In the team division, a varsity team earns Scholar-Athlete recognition by attaining a 3.1 aggregate GPA on a straight 4.0 scale for that designated semester. The school receives a certificate from the NCHSAA honoring the accomplishment and each member of the squad receives a certificate.
A minimum of five individuals is necessary to constitute a team, and all team members must be included in figuring the team GPA. The team achieving the highest grade point average in the state in its particular sport and submitting its application by the appropriate deadline receives a plaque commemorating that achievement.
The team’s award will be recognized at the NCHSAA’s annual meeting on Thursday at the Dean E. Smith Center on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Avery women’s soccer coach Tom Evaul will also be recognized with the Toby Webb Male Coach of the Year Award at the same ceremony.
