Despite Graduation Losses, Powerful St. Pius Will Contend in Class AAA

Dunwoody Crier
By Christopher Yale Smith

St. Pius X’s 2010 senior class of 29 players went 21-3 over the last two seasons.

They were the leaders of a team that won the 5-AAA region championship over Dunwoody, defeated Marist 28-3; and, in the quarterfinals of the state playoffs, they suffered an overtime loss to eventual AAA state champion Peach County.

With that said, many may think the Golden Lions and head coach Paul Standard are anticipating a rebuilding season - quite the contrary.

"The expectation of this football program every year is to have the opportunity to play for a region championship and make a run in the playoffs," said Standard, who is entering his 10th season year at his high school alma mater.

St. Pius X Freshman Receives Surprise

Freshman Tommy Parks did not know what to think when he was called to Principal Steve Spellman's office last week. When he walked into the office he was greeted by his father, U.S. Army Major Jeffrey Parks, who had returned after serving a year in Afghanistan.

They won 5 of the last 6 points in game 2 behind clutch hitting by Leah Hardeman. They blew out the Raiders in the third game 25-14 to win the match. The team leader was Ella Anastasiades with 15 digs and a couple of big aces. In the night cap the volleyballers played Towers in an uneven match. The 25-5, 25-0 victory was highlighted by Amanda Stitt's serving. Amanda broke Jasmine Tyson's record for aces in a match with a 21 ace performance. The total ties the third largest recorded ace total in Georgia high school history. The team is next in action Thursday at Parkview.

JV Volleyball Team Wins Sequoyah Tournament

The JV Volleyball team won the Sequoyah Tournament on Saturday without even losing a set. They played their best against their toughest competition, taking out Harrison High School in the semifinals in straight sets. 25-12,25-9. They followed this up with a 25-13, 25-16 win in the finals over Oconee County High School.

Volleyball Team Comes Up Short In Home Opener

Despite moments of spectacular play, the volleyball team came up short against two top flight teams Thursday at St. Pius X. The team lost to defending state champion Woodward Academy despite a 13 assist and 7 dig performance by setter Grace McGoldrick. They followed this up with a stong effort against Northview. The team was led by Ella Anastasiades who picked up 11 digs and a 6 kill effort by Emily Morrison. The team continues in action next Tuesday against Riverwood and Towers.

Volleyball Team Sweeps Pool Then Falls in Playoffs

Inconsistency held back the girls volleyball team during Saturday's play at the Sequoyah Tournament. The team opened with a much improved Wheeler squad. Ella Anastasiades led the way with 18 digs and a 2.4 serve receive rating. Meanwhile a balanced offensive attack was led by Leah Hardeman, Alex Bidgood and Emily Morrison. The pool play sweep was completed with a victory over Ringgold, ranked 6th in the state at AAA. The team won game one easily 25-18 and was on the verge of falling in game 2 down 19-23 when they rallied to score the final 6 points of the match to put it away. Emily Morrison was the dominant player in the match picking up 12 kills. Leah Hardeman continued her strong play with 6 kills, 2 aces and 9 digs. The single elimination tournament saw the team face the #6 ranked team in AAAAA, Kennesaw Mountain. The Mustangs controlled the match from the start. The blocking of Kallen Arvidson was one of the few highlights for the Golden Lions as she had a part in 5 blocks. It was not enough, however, as inconsistent hitting and serve receive held back the team. The volleyball team returns to action with their first games in area play on Tuesday at North Springs. The first home game of the season is Thursday when they open with defending state champion Woodward Academy.

3rd Ranked Lady Lions volleyball team opens with a pair of wins.

The St. Pius X Lady Lions volleyball team opened their 2010 season on Friday evening. The Lions, who were ranked third in the state in the pre-season coaches poll, opened by defeating host Sequoyah at the Sequoyah Tournament 25-21, 25-19. Both games were close all the way until the Lions pulled out late with clutch play down the stretch. The team was led by the outstanding hitting of freshmen sensation Leah Hardeman and Alex Bidgood. Defensively the team was led by setter Mara Suarez who led the team in digs for the match including a key pancake dig to help finish out game 1. In the nightcap, the squad easily dispensed Marietta by a score of 25-5 and 25-13. In game one Ashley Jones opened her high school career by serving 20 straight points, winning the first 19 point she was in the game for. Game two saw great play by Erin Villella and Catherine Evelyn to settle down the team after a slow start. Grace McGoldrick had an excellent night leading the offense from the setter position. The team continues the Sequoyah Tournament tomorrow with pool play matches against Wheeler and Ringgold followed by the single elimination portion of the tournament.

Fr. Terry Young to Retire

Msgr. Young, currently the pastor of St. Mary Mother of God Church in Jackson, was ordained on May 5, 1972, by Archbishop Donnellan. Msgr. Young began his priestly ministry as parochial vicar and director of religious education at Holy Spirit Church, Atlanta. He became assistant principal at St. Joseph High School, Atlanta, and taught religion there from 1973 to 1976. He became principal of the school in 1975 and served in that capacity for 18 months before the school’s closing.

In 1976, Msgr. Young was named principal of St. Pius X High School, Atlanta, and reorganized the program, which had been developed around the open classroom. During his 15-year tenure at St. Pius, he introduced programs designed to meet the needs of under-achieving students and those with learning problems and began a pastoral ministry to students. The school’s Center for Performing Arts is named in his honor, recognizing the support he gave to developing programs in drama, the arts and creative writing. He has also served the archdiocese as Secretary for Education and as pastor of St. Benedict Church, Duluth. He was elevated to the rank of monsignor in December 1994. Msgr.

Pius Students Live Out Latin Lesson

The Georgia Bulletin
By Stephen O'Kane, Staff Writer

ATLANTA—Last fall, St. Pius X Latin honors teacher Susan Belmonte asked her students for ideas for a class video project. Several months later, students were lining up around the track to participate in the school’s first chariot race.

“I wanted the project to be student-driven, not simply assigned by me,” said Belmonte. “We narrowed the topic down to entertainment and then more specifically gladiatorial fights and chariot races. A student casually asked if we could have an actual chariot race. That was the spark!”

She then spoke with Mark Kelly, athletic director, and Principal Steve Spellman, as well as the parents and others who needed to provide permission.

Pius Senior Finds His Niche In Sports Reporting

The Georgia Bulletin
By Stephen O'Kane

ATLANTA—St. Pius X senior Patrick Tighe learned more than algebra or grammar during his four years in high school. For him, it has been a time of learning, growing and facing new opportunities with a positive attitude and a good heart.

Patrick, one of a set of triplets, is not hesitant to tell you about his favorite experiences at Pius, whether it’s time spent with its celebrated teacher, Msgr. Richard Lopez, or watching Pius beat rival Marist in football. He and his sisters, Katie and Maggie, are all seniors there.

But perhaps the most interesting thing is to hear his stories of working with the Pius football team as a reporter. In fact, he describes the job as one of his favorite high school memories. Sitting in the press box with his laptop, taking notes and writing stories about the games has given Patrick a functional and truly unique way to be a part of the team.

The last time she walked off the Gwinnett Arena floor, Kelley Cain was wearing a St. Pius uniform, with her third state championship trophy in tow.

Few have seen more success in Duluth than Cain, Tennessee's post player, who returns to Gwinnett this week to play in the SEC women's basketball tournament (Thursday-Sunday). Cain doesn't lose in this building.

"It brings back so many memories, playing at the Gwinnett Arena," said Cain, whose last title came in 2007. "We won three state championships there. That's mostly what I remember."

St. Pius X Coaches Honored

By Michael Alexander, Georgia Bulletin

ATLANTA—The National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) named St. Pius X High School head girls soccer coach Sara Geiger as its Regional Coach of the Year for the South. Geiger’s 2009 team captured the state championship and finished with a perfect record of 22-0. In her first season the 2008 team was the state runner-up. In two seasons as head coach Geiger has a combined record of 42-2.

For the second year the Atlanta Falcons saluted Georgia High School Association coaches from around the state. St. Pius X head football coach Paul Standard was named Coach of the Year for Class AAA. The St. Pius team finished with a record of 12-1 during the 2009 season. Their only loss came against Peach County High School of Fort Valley in the state quarterfinals. The 2009 team tied the 1968 state championship team, coached by the late George B. Maloof, for the most wins in a season. Standard just completed his ninth season as head coach.

The Atlanta Track Club recognized Debbie Guilbeau as the 2009 Coach of the Year for her contributions to the sport of track and field. Guilbeau is entering her 16th season as the head coach for the girls track and field team. The 2009 team won the state title, the school’s second during Guilbeau’s coaching tenure. St. Pius teams have also had nine state runner-up finishes under her watch.

St. Pius� Annual Dads Event Marks 19 Years

The Georgia Bulletin

ATLANTA—Msgr. Richard Lopez is too modest to acknowledge it but he is somewhat of an institution at St. Pius X High School, Atlanta.

All fathers, whether or not members of the St. Pius X community, are invited to the event at 8:30 a.m., Saturday, Jan. 30.
