The varsity boys basketball team, coached by Rodric Brewington, had a tough season this year. They only won four games since the season began in November.
“I thought that we were going to be so much better than last year, but I didn’t see much improvement,” said Troy Williamson, senior on the varsity team.
Their last game was on Tuesday, February 15. It was the first game of the Cap 8 Tournament against Broughton at Broughton High School. They lost by ten points, putting them out of the tournament and ending their season.
JV basketball had a successfull season this year.
“This is one of the best seasons in men’s basketball in about seven years,” said Todd Stuart, coach of the JV boy’s team. “These kids have a great future ahead of them if they keep working hard and continuing to learn the game of basketball”.
The boys team finished up with a record of 10-7, and went 8-0 in their conference. [this may be too confusing]

They lost to Sanderson High School, ending their season. The first Cap 8 game for them was on Tuesday, February 15, along with the boys team. They lost to Sanderson, also ending their season.
“Overall, we had a fun season,” said Alex Woods, a junior on the girl’s varsity team. “I do feel like we could have won more games then we did though. Last year, I was on JV, and varsity is just a lot more competitive.”
Swimming’s season started in November and ended in February. After a long season with practices every morning at 5:30, the Pride swim team placed first in the Cap 8 Conference Tournament. This is the third year in a row that the girl’s team has won the Cap 8.
“We had a good season this year,” said Prenessa Lowery, a sophomore on her second year with the team. “We did win the tournament, but there’s always room for improvement. Last year we were a little better because we had a lot more seniors and lost them all this year. We still had a great season overall.”
Men’s wrestling went 13 – 9 this season, which is very successful considering that the team was mostly freshman and sophomores. The team was coached by Jason Wyss. Bobby Griffin, an all-conference wrestler, made it to the State Champoinship and finished second.
