SENIOR SPOTLIGHT!!!!
For today’s spring sports senior spotlight, we “kick” things over to the soccer field for a little Q and A with senior soccer player Haley Pepper!
Name: Haley Pepper
Your Current Sport and Position: Soccer, Right Mid, Center Mid, or Holding Mid.
College Plans:
I am planning on attending Clemson or USC to double major in Biomedical Engineering and Business Management.
Favorite Thing about Crescent:
My favorite thing about Crescent is how much everyone cares about one another and how the teachers, coaches, and even the students help each other succeed.
What’s your “Why” for playing sports:
I play sports because I love getting to be a part of a team of people who are willing to put in hard work towards their goals. Like most athletes, I play because I love being on the field and helping my team win games while my friends and family cheer me on from the stands.
Your Best Crescent Sports Memory:
My favorite memory has been getting to play in the Alumni game at Crescent while I was still enrolled at CHS. This was a great experience because I got to play with my friends who have already graduated and against my friends who I get to see every day.
Funniest Player on your team and why:
The funniest player is most definitely me. I’m just playing, it is Jaiden Shea. We have so many inside jokes together that have sprouted out of our own “stupidity,” so even when no one else gets the joke I’m always laughing along with her.
Favorite food:
Pasta
What superpower do you wish you had and why:
I wish I could freeze time so that I could slightly alter the things around people and watch them freak out because their couch is now magically in their kitchen.
Your greatest Halloween costume:
My greatest Halloween costume was when I dressed up as an idiot sandwich......As in my costume was just my face between two pieces of bread.
Advice to Crescent students:
Always be a friend. Everyone that you go to school with should feel welcomed and wanted when they talk to you. Even just a smile will go a long way.
Biggest influence on your life:
My biggest influence is my mom because she has had to overcome a lot to get to where she is today, and she is still an amazing parent. The only thing I can’t understand about her is why she still argues with me even though I win every time.....
Just kidding, I only win 95% of the time. 😉
Today - these buses mean even more.
Today - instead of carrying kids, these buses and their wonderful drivers are transporting adults delivering food, love, and comfort to many kids in our community.
Today - These buses make me even more proud to be a Tiger, as A3 employees and volunteers step up to make a difference.
Thankful to everyone involved in the preparation and delivery of food the last couple of days.

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT!!!!
As we are currently in a “pause” for high school spring sports across the state, we thought it would be nice to focus on something positive and do a little “Q and A“ with some of our senior spring sport student-athletes at Crescent. Our first is with Jolie Kelley, right fielder for the Crescent Lady Tiger Softball team!
Name: Jolie Kelley
Your Current Sport and Position:
Softball - Right Field
College Plans/Major:
Anderson University - Early Childhood Education
Favorite thing about Crescent:
I love how tight-knit our school is. I know that there is no other place I would rather go to school and I would love to give back to this community that has given so much to me when I graduate college.
Your “Why” for playing sports:
I love everything about softball. I love getting to play the game, but my “why” for playing is getting to be around a group of girls and coaches that are so special to me. My teammates and coaches are truly my second family.
Your best Crescent sports memory:
My first game playing on varsity would have to be my favorite memory. I thought that I was just dressing out and I wasn’t going to be playing, but when the nonstarters were getting announced I didn’t get announced with the nonstarters. I turned around and looked at Coach Adams and said “what am I supposed to do now.” He responded with his legendary hands on hips look (if you’ve ever played for Coach Adams you know exactly what I’m talking about) and he told me to hold on. When my name got called out and I was on the starting lineup, I was so excited and surprised. We won that game too so this was just a great day 😊
Funniest player on your team and why:
I’d have to go with Eme. She is so straightforward and she keeps me laughing.
Favorite Food: Japanese
What superpower would you like and why:
I wish I could read people’s mind. Then I would never get lied to.
Your greatest Halloween costume:
Me and family dressed up as Beetlejuice characters.
Biggest influence on your life:
My brother has the biggest influence on my life because of his sweet spirit. Even when I know Jake hasn’t had the best day, he still focuses on making someone else’s day better. I strive everyday to be the type of person that he is.
With schools being closed in A3 and across the state, this means that all after-school activities and sports (including practices and competitions) are suspended/paused during this time as well. We will update with any new information as it becomes available in the future.
