Today is Thursday, July 25, 2024
The Whippets’ winter sports season officially ended last week. Our Whippets had a very successful season with regional champions, sectional qualifiers, and state qualifiers. We want to congratulate all our Whippet athletes on a great winter!
We’d also like to recognize our all-conference Whippets. Each sport had at least one all-conference member. In girls’ basketball, Kacie Carollo was voted Rock Valley Conference Player of the Year!
The Whippets will now move into the delayed fall sports season. Volleyball started practice this Monday and has their first games this coming week. Football, Cross Country, Boys’ Soccer, and Girls’ Tennis will be starting soon.
