On November 9^th through the 11^th Tryouts for woman’s basketball were held in the auxiliary gym after school.  Each student that attended went through many drills to test there endurance, shooting skills, speed, etc, but most importantly they had to have good grades because that always come first.  Having after school activities is a good thing to have while you are in high school, it’s so that the student’s can have some fun and learn skills that will help them later on in life, but they don’t mean anything if you a fail any of your classes, because succeeding in school comes first.  It’s what determines your future steps towards college and later on in life your career path of choice, but what  is funny is some coaches allow student’s with bad grades to stay on the teams because they have a lot of skills and potential to where as a good coach would not allow them to play until they get everything made up which in the end helps them out a lot, so remember as this season goes on and you see our girls out there playing there hardest and having a great time, remember that they had to work hard and earn the privilege to be out there, so let’s give a shout out to all of them who made the team and wish them a great season.  Go Cougars!
