On Saturday, Nov. 3, the varsity boys and girls cross-country teams traveled to Carrollton, Ga., to compete in the GHSA Class AAA state meet. Both teams ran exceptionally well.
The girls finished third in the state, with junior Paula Sandoval and freshman Laura Arenth bringing home sixth- and eighth-place medals, respectively.
The boys finished fourth in the state, and junior George Adams brought home the 10th-place individual medal. Way to go, runners, coaches, trainers and fans!
On Saturday, Nov. 3, in front of a gym packed with Pace Knights, the varsity volleyball team brought home its second state-championship title in as many years. In a repeat of the 2016 and 2017 state finals, the Knights defeated the Westminster Wildcats 3-1.
The victory was the culmination of a courageous season in which the team overcame injuries, illnesses and early losses.
Following the season, four Knights were honored by the Georgia Volleyball Coaches Association (GVCA). Junior Ada Jane Agolli, senior Alexandra Baker and sophomore Kalissa Greene were named to the GVCA All State Team, while junior Dominique Turner received the All State Honorable Mention Award.
Congratulations to our student-athletes, coaches, trainers and fans on back-to-back state titles!

In a rematch of last year’s state championship, the Knights battled hard to win the first two sets (25-23, 25-19), but the Wildcats fought back and cruised to a 25-12 third-set victory. “The fourth set showed a very different Pace team,” says coach Anna Bush. “After trading the first few points, sophomore Kalissa Greene elevated her service game, and Westminster could not answer.” Pace took the title with a 25-10 win.
