Middle School athletes brought in some great highlights last week, winning basketball games against Walker and competing in the Metro10 wrestling championship, which was hosted at the Whitefield Athletic Center. Our Upper School athletes also represented the Pack in a swim meet at Marist and a variety of basketball games. You can find details from these events and more below.
This week the WolfPack will have the opportunity to show off our school pride during winter spirit week! Middle and Upper School students will participate in dress-up days and will finish the week with basketball games and the crowning of Mr. and Miss WolfPack. Upper School students will also enjoy a Space Jam themed dance following Friday night’s game!
Our Upper School athletes will gather together for Purpose Night on Thursday of this week, where we’ll start the second semester of athletics through a time of worship and fellowship together as ONE team, with one goal and one mission: to honor God through everything we do this season. This event is one of my favorites on the athletic calendar. It helps us focus on what it really means to “Work Hard. Play Hard. Honor Him.” I love seeing teammates and coaches gather together to approach such a goal while putting athletics in a proper perspective in light of eternity. Please be praying that God is honored through this event this week.
You can find our full schedule of events for this week here. Put on your blue and gold and join us to back the Pack soon!
Go WolfPack!
