SAYRE ATHLETICS
F
or Sayre students to participate in athletics last year, administrators, coaches, players, and parents worked hard to follow the guidelines set forth by the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE), CDC, and KHSAA. Several Sayre coaches feel the memorable season strengthened bonds as teams built cultures that allowed them to overcome collective hurdles. In turn, it brought them closer together and made them grateful for one another. Players and coaches report that the experiences they shared within their programs were challenging, rewarding, and empowering. Although there were many cancellations and interruptions due to the pandemic, it was incredible to see our community go above and beyond to make things happen. We are Spartan strong!
