It’s a GREAT day to be a Yellowjacket!

April has arrived and the winter season has moved on, but not without some great accomplishments by a great group of athletes. We had thirty Scholar Athletes spread throughout all the winter programs (See below for the list). We also had four All-Star Athletes and a Cheerleader selected for All-State. The Gilbert All-Star athletes are:

Emily for Girls Basketball

Sam for Wrestling

Hosam for Wrestling

Jonathan for Wrestling

The Cheerleader selected All State is:

Emma for Winter Cheer

That is three out of six wrestlers with All-Star status, an amazing accomplishment for the wrestling team. Remember they did not have a season last year. The girls basketball team moved within two games of the State Championship. A great accomplishment for such a very small team. We look forward to what they bring next year. Boys basketball won the Holiday tournament.  Indoor track had some great meets during the Winter season. Congratulations to all of the Yellowjacket athletes on a great Winter season.

Spring sports have come in like a lion and I expect it to stay that way all the way through the season. Coaches and student-athletes are very excited to be playing Baseball, Tennis, Softball and participating in track and field events. The first Spring regular season home competition will be 29 March, with Softball hosting Wolcott Tech at Rowley Field.
