Three years ago, anyone could think to themselves, “hmm.. I only went to 3 football games this year.” Now, if anyone was asked the same question the answer would be much different. Only in the past year has our school really seen the crowds grow at all of our sporting events. Our only concern in the coming years is our crowds will not decrease.

Sportsmanship is not just how a school treats the opposing team, but also how our own players and teams are treated in school, participate in games and the cheers we, as a school, have established. Sadly, it has taken two years for the student section to fill up, but our school is only going up from here.

Tennis, golf, bowling and many other smaller sports need the cheering and excitement that a football game or a basketball game has. Our sportsmanship has grown more to our bigger sports but is lacking the student sections in smaller ones. This is what we need to work on in our upcoming years as a student body.

Through the guidance of upperclassman, we have seen tailgates before games, consistent cheers, and a majority of our students coming to games. We encourage that when the seniors graduate, our incoming upperclassmen step up. The junior class has big shoes to fill, but from our winning seasons this year, it won’t be hard to want to go to more than three football games or basketball games. Make our school known for supporting our teams whether they are big or small.
