CHARGER STAMPEDE
100%  All The Time Every Time
Varsity Baseball Picks Up Huge Win! SENIOR NIGHT Tuesday 4/23

Timely hitting and solid defense helped Arete top #2 Superior HS. Arete defeated the #2 ranked Superior Panthers Friday night 7-6.  Senior Ben White batted in 3 runs with his 2 singles and a double.  Jamison Brown came up big in the outfield and also on a key at bat the helped the Chargers win.  Pierce Garver pitched 5 innings and only gave up 3 earned runs with 3 strikeouts.  Senor Titan Palmer tracked down two big fly balls in the outfield to keep the Chargers in the game.  With a two run lead, Freshman Aiden Ausdemore closed out the game with a solid pitching performance to win the game.  Sophomore Keenan Griffin had two key hits to bring in two runs when the Chargers needed it most.  Many other Chargers contributed to the victory and it was considered a whole team effort.  The victory puts the 6-7 Chargers in the drivers seat to qualify for the 1A state tournament.  They close out their season against #9 ranked Hayden on Tuesday at Tempe Diablo Sports Complex at 6:00pm. Come out to Tempe Diablo Tuesday night and help us recognize our Senior Baseball Chargers!
Advanced Archery Heading to Nationals 
Featured on Fox 10!

Members of Arete Prep's Advanced Archery team will travel to Salt Lake City, Utah on April 26th and 27th, to compete in the NASP National competition. The team will shoot 3-D against the western half of the US, about 7500 kids. A top 30 finish would send them to Worlds, where they would compete against 15,000 kids from over 91 countries! A few archers also qualified to shoot in the bullseye competition at Nationals, including team leader Cooper Beauregard.The team is led by NASP Coach of the Year, George Portillo.  

Fox 10 recently came out to the Arete Campus to film a "Ty-pad" segment with Ty Brennan. Ty interviewed a few archers, as well as Coach Portillo. He also got a quick lesson and took aim himself! The segment aired live Sunday 4/21, but you can check out both the tease, and segment at the links below! 



Thanks to Ty and the Fox crew for coming out and featuring our team!
