WCS girls athletes honor parents

Besides players and coaches, what does a sports team really need?  To make a good sports team, there needs to be more than skill and hard work. A good sports team needs fans, a group of people coming together to support and encourage a team. This group of people is essential to any good sports team. However, there is a group even more necessary and essential to a good sports team: parents. The parents of athletes are responsible for taking them to games, practices, encouraging them, and sometimes helping them nurse injuries. 
The fall sports season is wrapping up and all of the WCS sports teams have had great seasons up to this point regarding their athletes. They have worked hard to achieve their goals and have shown improvement. And behind all their efforts, there were always the parents.
At the volleyball game on Oct. 12, the gym was filled with participants from the Girl's Cross Country, Golf, and Volleyball teams to honor their parents for Parent Night. To show appreciation for their support and encouragement to our athletes, Westminster made time for the parents. With an announcement from Mr. Palmer, each athlete walked across the gym to the bleachers, found their parents, and brought a rose to them. This event provided recognition to parents and gave a boost to the team, which will lead them to finish their season strong.
