What a terrific year it was for Jefferson High sports! The boys’ cross country, golf, and track and field teams all won Class B state championships. Football made the state semifinals for the third straight year. Volleyball and both basketball squads made divisionals. Nine wrestlers made the state tournament, and Brady Armstrong won the title at 205 pounds. The tennis squad sent five players to state; girls’ cross country had two.
Wow. What’s more, the Panther speech and debate team took third place at the state competition this year. Drama, band, choir and cheer teams all brought home top awards, as well. All told, about 20 trophies await their spots in the school case – which means more space will have to be found. A great problem to have.
Fortunately, the addition and remodeling of the high school is in its final stages. When the kids start school next school year, they’ll have a new classroom building addition, and updates to much of the campus. Both gym floors will get a new coat of finish this summer, and there will be a lot of waxing in the halls and rooms.
