Student-Athlete of the Week: Kinnick Gordon "Kinnick does a lot of the little things that make a big difference for our basketball team. He fills up the stat sheet across multiple categories and has good basketball awareness. Kinnick's ability to jump in and play multiple positions gives us flexibility in our lineups and matchups. He is a key component for our success." -Coach Quigley Congratulations to our State Qualifying Cougar female wrestlers!

She is an asset to her team and the Cougar cheer program. We are lucky to have her!" -Jessica Dick "Liam has grown and improved as a player throughout this season. He is becoming more vocal and growing as a floor leader. Liam brings energy, determination, and edginess to our basketball team and is a key contributor to our success." -Coach Quigley
