Fall Sports is a wrap, The Voice Sports Show shifting towards winter (VIDEOS*)

I had a lot to say here! I did get angry at times, as you'll see if you watch the full clip. This is about 14 minutes long.

Video here featuring my final fall sports podcast of 2024:

The last 13 minutes was basically devoted to the issue of participation and turnout in athletic activities. I have had a front row seat to this for over 10 years now, and I will continue saying that I am extremely grateful for all the opportunties available to students in Jaguar Country to better themselves both in the classroom and in extra-curricular activities. We do a great job here with what we have in an environment of limited resources, but it's crucial that parents and families do their part to make sure we can continue offering extra-curricular activities here.

Here's a bright spot in all this: the wrestling program. In grades 7-12, they have 27 students on the team, which includes one female wrestler. A partial season preview was published in last week's Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper.

Below, here's a video from practice last Tuesday:

The varsity wrestling season opener is Wednesday this week at Melrose.
