The Varsity Sports banquet was at Mr. Gray’s church (the school principle) and it was nice evening honoring all the athletes that played Varsity sports over the course of the year. – both boys and girls. Sam and Alex both attended as Sam played Varsity Soccer and Tennis, while Alex played both of those as well as Varsity Basketball. All the Seniors had a small poster of them playing their favorite sport mounted on a a display wall. We chose the photo of Alex jumping in the air to keep a ball in bounce in the State Soccer Tournament. Quite a few people had never seen it before and were very impressed that Alex got that high off the ground.
We were a little disappointed that Alex didn’t win any awards for Basketball (we were expecting most improved) or Soccer (most valuable player – that went to Zach, who did deserve it). Alex did however take away the most improved for Tennis as well as receiving the honorary award for being hit with the ball the most times during the season. Sam didn’t win anything either this year but he still has a few years of Varsity sports and we expect he might pull in a couple by his senior year. We are very proud of both of the boys this year as they worked very hard on the field and off the field.
