We
have just started a new semester and this is a great opportunity for a new
beginning. Student athletes should
always remember that academics are our top priority and playing sports is a privilege
that is extended to those who are meeting their responsibilities in the
classroom. The new eligibility list will
be released on Wednesday and in order to continue with winter sports AND to be
able to try out for spring sports, students must have 5 passing grades from
semester 1 (only full credit classes count – school service for example does
not count).
We
are entering the home stretch of the winter sports season and many of our teams
are poised to make the state tournament.
