Alma Mater - What you may not know!
 Dorman is probably unique among public high schools in this country in having both an Alma Mater and a fight song written especially for it, rather than being "adopted" from a familiar tune. Earl Mays, a gifted composer and retired Army band director, was the first band director at the new Dorman High School in 1964, and he composed both of these fine and stirring pieces. He did this without any thought of recognition or gain, but just as a matter of course of his job. (How many other high school band directors would have even thought of, much less have been capable of, such a task?) This gave some instant tradition to a new high school, which has now become genuine tradition for over forty years, thanks to his talent.

Fall Sports Recaps: Successful Seasons
 

Dorman Fall Sports Wrap-Up

 

The 2009 fall sports season at Dorman High School has been another outstanding one for the Cavaliers! Some of our teams have completed their seasons while others continue to strive for state championships in post season play. Tonight we want to take a moment to recognize the outstanding fall athletes that have represented our school so well in 2009.

Girls Cross Country

This team is coached by Jerry Kimbrell and Jessica Jank. They finished the regular season with an undefeated 7-0 record and they won the region 2-AAAA championship for the first time since 2004. Both the JV and varsity girls won the Spartanburg County championship race. This team had two runners make the all region team and one runner make the all state team. The Dorman girls won the Upper State Qualifier and finished runner up at the state AAAA meet held last Saturday in Columbia.

Boys Cross Country:

This team is coached by Jeff Buys and Emmett Sheridan. They finished the regular season with an undefeated 7-0 record and they won the region 2-AAAA championship for the 9th consecutive year. The boys’ team won the Eye Opener Invitational, the Cavalier Classic and Spartanburg County championship. This team had four runners make the all region team and the all county team and two runners make the all state team. The Dorman boys finished second in the Upper State qualifier that was held at Dorman and they finished fourth in the state meet held in Columbia last Saturday.

Girls Swimming

This team is coached by Jim Raymond and Meredith Wentzel. The girls had an overall dual meet record of 6-2 this year. They won the Dreher Blue Devil Invitational and finished third in Region 2-AAAA meet and in the state championship meet that was held at USC in Columbia last month. Four of the girls made the all region team and the team won state championships in four events.

Boys Swimming

This team is also coached by Jim Raymond and Meredith Wentzel. The boys had an overall dual meet record of 7-1 this year. They won the Dreher Blue Devil Invitational, finished second in the Region 2-AAAA meet and finished fourth in the state championship meet at USC. The team won one individual event state championship and had five swimmers make the all region team.

Competitive Cheer

Our varsity and JV competitive cheer teams are coached by Kami Appleton Miranda and assisted by Krysti Byrd. The JV team finished third in the Dorman Cavalier Cheer Classic and in the Debbie Rogers Classic, second in the Legends of the South Classic at Clemson and first in the Tiger Cheer Classic at Blue Ridge. The varsity team finished fourth in the Dorman Cavalier Cheer Classic, first at the Viking Invitational at Spartanburg and they were the Grand Champions of the Tiger Cheer Classic and Legends of the South competitions. The varsity squad finished second in the Region 2-AAAA Championship that was held at Hillcrest. Five members of the varsity squad made the all region team this year. Dorman’s varsity cheerleaders finished third at the AAAA Upper State qualifier that was held at Northwestern High School on Monday. They will compete against eleven other finalists in the State Championship competition that will be held at the Carolina Coliseum in Columbia on November 21.

Girls Golf

This team is coached by Lewis Terry. The Lady Cavaliers golf team finished their season with a 10-4 match record and played well in several tournaments during the season. Dorman captured their fourth consecutive region 2-AAAA championship by winning the region tournament that was held at River Falls. Four Dorman golfers made the all region team this year. In late October, Dorman hosted the AAAA State Championship Tournament at Three Pines and for the fourth consecutive year, Dorman finished as the state runner up. Three of our golfers made the all state team at this tournament.

Football

Both of the sub varsity teams recently completed outstanding seasons. The Ninth grade team had record of 9-1 with their only loss coming in a close game against Byrnes. The JV team finished with a record of 8-1 losing only to Byrnes. The varsity football team entered tonight’s game with a 10-1 overall record and a 4-1 region record. They finished in second place in Region 2-AAAA. The Cavaliers are currently ranked number three in the state and they were seeded sixth in the AAAA Division One play-offs.

Girls Tennis

The varsity team is coached by Sam Napier and the JV team is coached by Michele Singleton. The JV team had a winning record this season and had a lot of talented young players that should help the varsity squad in the years to come. The varsity team finished the season with a 13-7 overall record. They were 6-4 in region play and finished third in the region. The varsity girls won the Highway 221 Eye-Opener Tournament in August. The team won two play-off matches over Wren and Clover before falling to Spartanburg in the quarterfinal round of the state play-offs. This was only the third time in school history that the girls’ tennis team made it to the quarterfinals of the state play-offs. Two varsity players made the all region team.

Volleyball

The JV team is coached by Megan Woods and the varsity team is coached by Paula Kirkland and Kari Walker. The JV team had a stellar record of 15-1 this season. They won the Hillcrest Invitational JV Tournament and the Dorman JV Tournament of Champions. The varsity volleyball team finished the year with an undefeated record of 24-0 and they won the region 2-AAAA and state championships this year.
