The spring sports seasons for Baseball, Softball, and Track are underway. Last week it was conditioning week for Baseball and Softball. This week, Track is starting, and the Baseball and Softball teams are able to do more stuff besides pitching and conditioning only. Now, they are allowed to hit and do fieldwork. If you don’t play any of these sports yet, maybe you want to just go out and try it, but if you don’t like it, be sure you show your school spirit and come out and support the teams anyway!
Ugh! Well, the Boys’ Basketball team fell just short of a state championship. They fought hard all season, and they brought the community together like never before. The support from this community was unbelievable. It meant a lot to the players and coaches to see this community come together and cheer the boys on, even though it wasn’t the season they hoped for. They have a lot to be proud of. What they accomplished, winning a Northern Maine Championship, which hasn’t been done here in 37 years. Playing in a state championship was unbelievable. We walked in and just saw nothing but green in the stands, and the crowd started cheering for us when there was still an hour to go before game time.
With the spring season right around the corner, be sure you sign up. You can sign up on Mr. Wilcox’s door in the gym. If you don’t play a sport but want to, just go out and try it.
