The Cardinal Chirp

10/09/2025

Empty chairs and quiet spaces can only mean one thing…SILENCE (and normally that would scare me!) 👻 But, today, that just means that FALL BREAK is here! 🎃

Due to Fall Break, there will be no new release of The Cardinal Chirp this week! 🥺 However, I do still encourage you to get out and support several of our crew members tonight at Home Volleyball and Saturday at Home Baseball, both opportunities vs St. Anthony! We’ll see you next week…and in the meantime, Let’s Go Cards!!!

A Monday Morning Surprise! 😊 Episode #3 is now Live!

In this episode, check out the North Clay Renovations through the eyes of our students! Enjoy some smiles, laughs, humor (and some editing errors, ha!) from our student-athletes as they give you a tour around our beautiful, new updated spaces at NC! If you would like to see some of the "before" footage during construction - check back to last season of The Cardinal Chirp, where we checked into what was going on two-three times throughout the process!

Thank you for being patient when waiting on this episode. I was out on Friday of last week, so even though the kids got it done on time, I wasn't able to upload until this morning. A big "Thank You" to The Mustard Seed in Louisville for their sponsorship of this episode! Thank YOU for always tuning in to listen! I hope this one makes you smile!

Breakfast Pizza & Donuts for launch day! ✨ A long athletic night last night has most of us very sleepy today - but the joy & excitement still lingers, as the official launch day has arrived!! We await the final edits on episode #1 and it will go LIVE at 12:00 noon today!

I’m really proud of these guys! It takes a lot of work to be creative and always find some way to be “different”, while remaining interesting. I know that they made this first episode awesome, with big things to come! This group is the perfect mix of smart, funny, hardworking, and ornery 🙃 to make every episode worth watching! I hope you will tune in! See you soon!
