One day this summer, I took my daughter to athletic workouts at Smith-Cotton High School.  There must have been 200 kids there working out for various sports, including JROTC and cheerleading.  I was amazed and excited to see so many kids giving up part of their summer to being involved in extracurricular activities.  Not only the kids, but the coaches and team leaders too.  Some kids were working out twice a day with two different sports.  That's dedication.

Now with school in session and the fall sports season under way, it's your turn!  As a parent or family member, friend or just a patron, these kids deserve your support.  I was embarrassed by the turnouts we had last year for basketball games!  There is something going on almost every night.

Get out support them show them their efforts matter.  Win or lose, they deserve it.  For the record, I prefer the winning part.  Either way, my butt will be in the stands yelling for the black and gold.
