"Daniel Grant is our athlete of the month for December after achieving a 36-0 record his 8th grade season and winning the NGAC Traditional Tournament at 100 lbs.

Along with his success on the mat he has continued that success in the classroom with maintaining all A's and B's for this semester." Coach Murdock

"Ava is a great student athlete and leader on and off the field." Coach Portwood

"Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it."
