Let's Do This!

Last week was a great week for Scottsburg High School basketball. The Warriorettes defeated the Lady Eagles Tuesday night in Austin. The Warriors defeated the Austin Eagles Wednesday night.

Both games were well attended. In fact, the boys game was played in front of a packed house at Meyer Gym on the newly named "Donna Cheatham Court." The pre-game flag ceremony was just as impressive as the crowd of Warrior supporters!

How can this picture not get you fired up for what is ahead for you at SHS??

It is our job at SMS to help you have a quality learning experience, to help you grow as a person, and to help prepare you for high school. To help you do this, I try to keep up on happenings at SHS. In reading up on the week's SHS basketball success, I noticed an interesting comment from SHS Principal, Ric Manns. Mr. Manns commended his student fans for supporting the teams and for cleaning up their own cheer block after the game.

Wow. How impressive is that? Whether home or away, SHS students clean up their own messes. We do that in our lunchroom and in our classrooms, but we've not done this at ball games. I think we should. What a classy way to act as fans and to support our custodians like we support our teams.

Starting tonight, let's do this. Whether you are a player or a fan at ANY SMS game, let's clean up every bottle, can, and wrapper in our seating area. Let's do our jobs on the court and in the stands! Let's get ready for SHS! Let's do this!
