September proved to be a bustling month for local high schools, with significant achievements in sports and community engagement. At Loudoun High School (LHS), the fall sports season wrapped up with notable performances. The golf team excelled, with the boys clinching the district 4 championship and the girls finishing as district 4 runners-up. Senior athletes Samantha Snyder and Ben McIntosh are set to represent LHS at the state competition.

The volleyball team recently celebrated their senior night and is gearing up for the district tournament. Meanwhile, the cross country team is concluding their season with reports of numerous record-breaking performances. The football team also enjoyed a successful month, securing victories against Sawadee Daisy, Eastridge, and Hixson, while hosting a teacher appreciation night and a homecoming court event.

LHS's interactive key club organized a homecoming dance themed \"There's No Place Like Home,\" featuring dress-up days inspired by the classic film. The marching band showcased their talent by placing second at the Karnes Marching Invitational, and the cheer team held an alumni night, inviting former cheerleaders to join in a performance of their fight song.

In a show of community solidarity, LHS partnered with neighboring districts to support flood relief efforts for Tennessee communities impacted by Hurricane Kelly, sending two trucks filled with essential supplies.

At Greenback High School, the football team celebrated their first win against Oakdale High School, while the volleyball team concluded their regular season with a 6-4 record, participating in the district tournament. The Lady Key soccer team is also finishing their regular season strong, preparing for district play.

Homecoming festivities included hallway decorations and a well-attended dance themed \"Meet Me at Midnight.\" Both schools' seniors took the ACT, and juniors participated in the ASVAB, with positive feedback on the experiences. Greenback's FFA and HOSA groups performed admirably at the Knox Fair, and the school hosted the TSBA fall meeting, showcasing student involvement.

As the month closes, both schools reflect on their achievements and community contributions, highlighting the importance of teamwork and support in both academics and athletics.
