11 GUERINCATHOLIC.ORG Girls Soccer A season after making a run to the 3A State Championship game, Coach Jonathan McClure replaced nine starters and brought in a new crop of Golden Eagle girl’s soccer players. Finishing 3rd in conference led by All-Conference performers Anna Heck ’20 and Claire Sawyer ’21, the Golden Eagles pushed eventual state champion Carmel to the limit in the sectional. Boys Tennis A quest for the 3rd straight conference crown fell just short in Coach Chris Sciaudone’s first year as the team finished runner-up. The team rose as high as #18 in state rankings led by Cole Metzger ’21, Ty Harrington ’22, Zander Klekovkin ’19, Simon Paris ’19 and Michael Aikman ’19. The Golden Eagles will return a strong core of players in 2019. Girls Volleyball Guerin Catholic volleyball featured a strong group of five seniors—Julia Quinn, Lauren Cobb, Jasmine Wolfgram, Emily Zlatniski, and Catalina Dunasky. The team lost in the sectional final to conference rival Bishop Chatard. Guerin Catholic was represented on the All-Conference team by Ashley Utnage ’20. - Ryan Davis, Assistant Director of Athletics rdavis@guerincatholic.org Cross Country The cross country campaign was a successful one as the program advanced both the boys and girls teams to regionals and qualified four individuals (Izzy Museck ’19, Ellie Schroeder ’19, Joe Barrett ’19 and Quinn Gallagher ’19) for semi-state. Both teams also finished as Circle City Conference runner-ups and Quinn Gallagher was crowned the individual champion. Quinn’s spectacular year ended in a 5th place finish at the IHSAA State Championships and capped off by a most deserving IHSAA Mental Attitude Award. Football Coach Tom Dilley’s Golden Eagle football team finished 6-5 on the year ending with a sectional semi-final heartbreaker to Brebeuf Jesuit. The team had darted out to a 4-1 start to the year before key injuries presented challenges for the remainder of the year. The Golden Eagles placed five players on the All-Conference team including Dylan Crossen ’19, Charles Bock ’19, Hank Bates ’19, Will Poynter ’19 and Billy Freudenthal ’19. Girls Golf It was a banner year for the girls golf program as they advanced to the State Finals for the first time. Consistently ranked in the top 5 all year, Coach Mark Mathews and his team won Conference and All-Catholic titles to go along with their 5th place State Finals finish. The girls also placed four individuals on the Hamilton County Reporter’s team including Mckayla Tallman ’19, Angelica Pfefferkorn ’20, Sophie McGinnis ’22 and Christina Pfefferkorn ’22. Boys Soccer A young and promising team took the pitch for Coach Chris McGrath this fall and nearly pulled an upset of a ranked North Central team in the sectional, eventually losing in penalty kicks.

With coaching experience in baseball, basketball and golf, Davis most recently served as Social Studies teacher and Department Chair at Cathedral High School in Indianapolis. “My involvement in Catholic schools has allowed me to see and feel the impact of faith and spirituality and the role it plays in young lives,” said Davis. “My most meaningful experiences in education have reinforced the idea that we, as educators, are in place to help students discover their purpose, something that stretches far beyond a classroom, test, or championship game.” Ryan and his wife, Laura, are parishioners at St. Louis de Montfort in Fishers and have two daughters.
