 After four overtime sessions and several rounds of penalty kicks, the men's varsity soccer team defeated Millbrook High School in an exhausting and exhilarating 4-2 victory on Wed., Nov. 4, thereby advancing to the second round of the state playoffs for the first time in over a decade.
A first-half goal scored by senior Sam Dunderdale put the Pirates ahead early, but Millbrook fought back in the second-half to tie the game at 1-1 at the end of regulation. The teams endured two 10-minute overtimes and an additional pair of 5-minute sudden death periods with no score on either end, at which point the teams conducted a five-round shootout.
Seniors Stephen Freeman and Dennis Hodge and junior Zabarle Kollie successfully converted penalty kick attempts for the Pirates. Millbrook made its first attempt, but missed its second attempt over the goal. Two saves by junior goalkeeper Ivan Ramirez clenched the victory for the Pirates. |

 Imagine, a house built from coins. It sounds unearthly. Yet, that is what Habitat for Humanity has begun working towards.
Habitat has organized a coin drive set to begin on Mon., Oct. 12 to run for two weeks. The money will benefit the construction of a home for a Durham family. The first period class with the most money raised will be treated to a Bojangles breakfast.
"The coin drive last year was the most successful, we raised over $900," Biology teacher Laura Roberson said.

 People of the World club members plan to bring out their inner child and help the community by participating in Halloween this year.
"We dress up, and trick or treat for cans," senior Dana Mustafa said. Improving the Durham community is just one of many goals the People of the World club reach for every year. To achieve this goal members will be asking for cans instead of candy on Halloween night in the Hardscrabble Plantation neighborhood. The club expects up to 200 lbs of can foods to match the previous years. The cans will be donated to food drives around Durham.
