Exes’ Information Needed
Some of the upcoming projects for the Booster Club are to provide the school with track record boards, an updated team championship sign at the football field, and signs at the tennis complex recognizing championship teams. In order to ensure accuracy, we are asking that you provide us with detailed information you may have regarding any and all championships, titles, and records.
For football, we have the following information: 1955 – District, Bi-district, Regionals*; 1965 – District, Bi-district, Regionals*; 1988 – Bi-district, Area, Regionals; 1989 – Bi-district, Area Regionals; 1990 – District, Bi-district, Area, Regionals, Quarter Finals; 1991 – Bi-district, Area, Regionals.
*Highest level attainable at that time
For tennis, we need more details on team championships other than those listed. Are you aware of any other district, regional or state championship teams? 2002 BEARKATS — District Team Champs; 2003 LADY KATS — District Team Champs
In track, we have the school records for boys, but we need information on girls’ school records. Do you know individual times and records?
