Soccer season returns

Soccer season returns

The soccer season is underway and both teams look ready to start up where they left off last year. And that is a pretty high start considering the finish from last year. The Lady Tigers are the defending 5A state champions, having only 1 loss, 1 tie on their record 27 wins. The Tigers were eked out in the regional semis round. Those goals are not out of question as many veterans return from those squads. 01/20/2022 12:00 AM

Spring sports underway

Spring sports underway

It seems a very cruel misnomer to call our outdoor sports spring when they all take place in mid-winter and one does not get spring-like weather until late April when most of them are winding down. Nevertheless, all have started their seasons. The soccer seasons have begun with district games already starting. Softball has begun, baseball one week later and track meets coming up soon. Tennis and golf are in season. Because there are nine teams in district all sports start district play almost immediately after the season opens. Basketball, wrestling and swimming are winding down. Take your pick, you have plenty of school activities to follow until school is out in May. 01/20/2022 12:00 AM
