Twenty-five student athletes from football, soccer, cross country, and volleyball received individual recognition for their exceptional play. Collectively, the volleyball team earned the team academic all state award and the soccer team earned the title of Conference Champions. We’ve opted to include photos of the entire teams due to so many awards this year.
