Volleyball and Football both ended their season with their second game loss in Sectional play. Winners frequently are those with the highest score at the conclusion of the game. That is definitely one way to look at it and the most common. However, I think that character of the team and the tenacity within it has to be considered.
With one senior on the City Champion Volleyball team next year holds tremendous promise. The GPA of the Varsity Team is well over 3.8. Two of the current Lakers have already signed college intent letters to notable universities. This is a classy team with smarts and a wonderful spirit. One cannot watch the play without seeing the strong relationships among the team. This has been a fun season to watch and we wish all the members great success.
The football team has come from never scoring to really being a strong contender in the city and the area. In a Washburn game that just fell short to a Twin City Victory to a sectional game win - the first since 1990 - this has been a team with pride and character. Working together they have brought attention to a sport at Southwest that many discounted. Several seniors are being recruited to colleges across the country. We wish the team members well.
Not always sure that competition should gain the attention that is does, but working as a team, practicing hard, and demonstrating ones skills and talents is what happens in business and the real world. Athletics are an important part of the high school experience. Southwest is fortunate that there are many ways to become a star and achieve one's dream. We are proud of our players whatever might be their venue.
