A Busy Week Ahead!

This is a great time of year for all fans of high school athletics. Football, volleyball, and cross-country are wrapping up; meanwhile basketball is starting to get geared up for practice. Athens has a big week of sports on hand. The week includes; girl’s volleyball Regionals in New Berlin on Thursday and Saturday, State football playoffs Friday or Saturday, and cross-country Sectionals on Saturday morning in Elmwood. Saturday could be a big travel day for many Warrior fans. Having never experienced IHSA football playoff excitement before, the football community should be pumped-up this coming Saturday. I have seen the community in action when supporting the ACF, and this will hopefully be no different. The volleyball team, fresh off a good run at the QND tourney, should make some noise in New Berlin. Tiffany Draughn will lead the cross-country team into Sectionals. Tiffany is a 3 time state-qualifier and she is looking for a fourth. Our students have represented Athens High School well over the past 3 months of competition. The Golf, soccer, swimming, football, volleyball, and cross-country teams, as well as, the cheerleaders have performed outstanding and carried themselves in a positive manner. So, this week is a time to show your continued support for our Warriors and Lady Warriors! With continued hard work, your support and a little good fortune, we could be having this same conversation next week.
