The Lady Blazer Soccer team has had a terrific
start to their season. The Blazers went 9-0
before suffering a loss in the All “A” Sub-
Sectional State Tournament. One of their ear-
ly wins was against cross-town rivals the Hop-
kinsville Tigers. It was the first time the Blaz-
er had beaten the Tigers in seven years and
the win broke Hopkinsville’s 31 game winning
streak against district opponents. The Blazers
have spent most of the season ranked number
one in the district and are getting ready for an
exciting run in the upcoming district tourna-
ment. Congratulations Lady Blazers!

Each year UHA participates in United Way’s annual cam-paign, and the faculty and staff always have 100% contribu-tion. This year the Blazers also participated in the second an-nual dodgeball tournament fundraiser for United Way, and UHA won the middle-high school division. It’s always great to see our UHA family helping with community endeavors!

Bakery was also open for business with many treats to buy. The day was a great success!
