WELCOME, KNIGHT FANS! Thank you for coming to an athletic event at West Florence High School! We hope you enjoy our hospitality tonight, and we hope you have a great game day experience. We welcome you to another exciting evening enjoying fellowship, and of course, pride in our athletic programs.

The hard work of our football players, cheerleaders, band members, volleyball players, tennis athletes, golfers, runners, coaches and support staff will be on display before your very eyes. What you might not see is the hard work our studentathletes have been putting in the classroom. Last year, our 500+ athletes averaged an astonishing 4.2 GPA. While our community service was down because of the global pandemic, we are proud of the work we have done. We are more proud of our classroom accomplishments that we are of our ninth consecutive All-Sports City championship, or our sixty-four All-Region VI Athletes.

As you might have noticed, we have made a few upgrades on Beltline Drive. A renovated gym, resurfaced tennis courts, refreshed cross country trail, and what we think is the coolest football stadium in the state are symbolic of the growth we are experiencing. Everything we have done is for the benefit of the students in our school and our community.

Please feel free to follow our journey on social media this year. We are on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Be sure to tag your post with our hashtag for this year, #221NBD. You should also reach out to our Athletic Booster Club for information on how you can help us to continue to grow.

Our student-athletes are constantly reminded of the importance of winning and losing with class and grace, and sportsmanship is something we focus on every day. Please join us by enjoying the spirit of competition regardless of the outcome of the contest.

Thank you for your support. We aren’t us without you.

GO KNIGHTS!
