Athletics Tr ansition from Winter to Spring by Lance Quessenberry Athletic Director As we transition from the winter to the spring sports season, I want to look back at our winter season and the blessing God provided. First, Coach Lee and the Girls Swim team had an outstanding year which produced their first event to be considered for the state meet. These ladies keep competing and get better each year. We can’t wait to see what they do next year. Next, our Boys and Girls Varsity Basketball teams were in similar situations with new coaches and learning new systems as they built a solid groundwork for the future. Both teams had up and down seasons, but the foundations for both were set in place. It is going to be fun to see their growth in years to come. The Varsity Wrestling team continued
their growth, not only in numbers, but also competition level. They had great accomplishments as a team and individually, with the most notable one being Jeramiah Smith. Jeramiah finished 4th in the Class 1 State Tournament at the 160lb level. We look forward to the continued growth of this program and how God uses Coach Thomas and his athletes. Lastly, the Cheer and Dance teams both did outstanding jobs as they continue to improve each year. Coach Ray and the Cheer team seem to get better each week as they set the tone for the atmosphere of each game. Coach Pace did an outstanding job with the Dance Team in her first year and we look forward to their continued growth and improvement. Before we wrap up the winter sports, I want to say a special thank you to all
the seniors for the winter sports. It has been a pleasure to watch you the past four years. You made an impact Lance Quessenberry competitively, but more importantly, you made an impact spiritually. You made huge positive contributions to each of your respective programs, and we are forever grateful. Spring sports started on March 21st, and the competitions for our Varsity Baseball, Boys Golf, Girls Soccer, and Track and Field teams promise to be exciting. Check out the athletics calendar on the school website and make plans to see our spring athletes complete. Thanks to all of you for your support!
