• Second Half Heroics Give Badgers Back to Back Wins

  3/20/2026

  Varsity Girls Soccer - With the clock frozen at 2:00, the game was deep into stoppage time. The Badgers were protecting a one goal lead. Tandem was in a great position, looking to keep the ball in their offensive zone and take time off the clock. Quantico gained possession and cleared the ball up the field to their best striker - and she had a clear lane to the goal. Hadley, also a striker, looked up and surveyed the field. She could not have been farther away from the ball - the opponent was already at mid-field, but, as far as Hadley was concerned, there was simply no way Quantico was going to score the tying goal.

   

  She took off at a breakneck speed, generating even more wind than Monday's tornado. The distance between the two players grew smaller as Quantico, believing she had lots of space, looked for an angle to launch the game-tying shot. By the time Quantico's forward reared back to shoot, Hadley was mirroring her movements - challenging the opponent, tackling the ball away, and creating a special Tandem soccer moment as the ball rolled harmlessly out of bounds. In the words of Coach Tim, "the amount of effort it took as a forward, the highest player on the field, to run a dead sprint for 60 meters after 80 minutes of soccer to shut down Quantico's last gasp was absolutely incredible." If you were on the hill, you'll never forget it.

• Middle School Girls Soccer Season Begins in the Cold!

  3/18/2026
  It's technically the spring season, and our Middle School Girls Soccer team has already endured hail, snow, freezing rain and a tornado. As a result, the team has only had three practices - but that did not stop them from giving their absolute all on the pitch yesterday in front of an enthusiastic crowd!

   

  The thermometer read 36 degrees when the game began, and the Badgers went right to work. April, Freya and Francesca protected the box against a very solid CCS attack, and constantly tackled the ball away from the opposition. They forced the ball out of the middle, and worked in concert with Emma, who had twelve impressive saves on the day!

  With his legs exploding off the track and his arms pumping, Gabriel separated himself from the field. With CCA, CCS, Henley and Valley Blaze doing everything they could to chase him down, Gabriel kept his edge and broke the tape in victorious fashion! His time of 14.43 in the Boys 100 Meters marks the first ever Tandem MS gold medal! After all, today was Tandem's inaugural Middle School Track and Field season!

   

  As Coach Julia put it: "You made history today. In our 55 years as a school, you are the first middle school team to run under the banner of Tandem at a Track and Field meet. Our 14 debut runners competed in 13 different events with only 3 days of practice under their belts... you learned how to finish strong, and be there for one another."
