On Saturday, December 19th, Cambridge faced off against cross town rival Alpharetta at Dynamo. For the girls team, Alpharetta and Cambridge chased each other at the state meet for the title, so the meeting of the two teams this season will give a preview of the state competition in February. Even though Alpharetta has moved up to 7A, the level of competition they bring is a good indication of what is to come for the Bears at Georgia Tech.
