Durham Academy winter sports begin a busy stretch of the season facing opponents from all corners of the state. The basketball teams will take on both Charlotte Latin and Providence Day this weekend before heading to Charleston, South Carolina, over the holidays to compete in the Carolina Lowcountry Invitational. The Cavs swim teams will head to Raleigh for their last two competitions in 2021.

Durham Academy swimming kicked off the 2021–2022 season on Monday afternoon at the Orange County Sportsplex in a meet vs. Carolina Friends School, Trinity School of Durham and Chapel Hill, and Trinity Academy of Raleigh. DA’s boys and girls teams each took first place, scoring 562 points and 615 points respectively.

Colgate, Davidson, Florida International and Wake Forest will benefit from the talents of DA athletes. DA girls and boys basketball open tonight at Grace Christian.

The final week of the fall 2021 sports season wrapped up last week for Durham Academy with state runner-up finishes from boys cross-country and volleyball and a fourth-place finish from girls cross-country. And just the week prior, girls golf also earned a runner-up finish.

We are in the final week of the fall 2021 season, and our teams have shown that they can compete with the best in the state. Durham Academy was the only 4A school to have three teams competing in state semifinal action on Tuesday!

Not even three full games into her UNC-Charlotte women’s basketball career, Nikki Graves stepped to the free-throw line on Nov. 28, 1995, against Clemson, looking to keep the 49ers’ upset bid alive.

The fall sports postseason is in full swing as our Cavaliers look to leave their mark on the 2021 season.

We are in the final week of the regular season of Durham Academy fall sports, and our teams have already accomplished quite a bit.

Congrats to former Durham Academy Middle School teacher and varsity boys lacrosse and soccer coach Joe Seivold on his induction into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame last Saturday at The Grand Lodge in Hunt Valley, Maryland.

This week’s Performance of the Week is awarded to the DA varsity field hockey team and long-serving head coach Judy Chandler.

The Cavaliers are heading into the last two weeks of the regular fall season, and our teams have been busy. Not only are student-athletes competing multiple times a week, but they have also been participating in full program practices in which DA Middle School and JV teams join the varsity squad for a practice.

Andy Pogach has served in a variety of teaching and coaching roles at Durham Academy since 2008 and assumed his duties as director of athletics in 2019.

We are heading into the second half of the fall season, and our teams are working hard on the courts, fields and courses!

It has been an action-packed week of Durham Academy sports, and we look forward to continuing the celebration Friday night at HOMECOMING!

We have had another short athletics week due to the observed holidays, but we are back for a six-week fall sports stretch! We hope you and your family will come out to support the Cavaliers this Friday at our Fall Frenzy!
