General Announcements

Today, December 7, all US flags at federal, state and public facilities in the United States will be flown at half-staff, in commemoration of the Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. This historic day allows us as Americans to remember the infamous attack by Japanese forces on the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, as well as celebrate the valor and dedication shown by a brave generation of Americans during World War II. December 7, 1941, according to US Navy Chief Admiral Michael G. Mullen, was "not just a day of infamy, but in many ways it was a day of discovery for America and for the world. It changed us, it hurt us, but it also made us stronger, as did September 11.

Athletics

Do you have a hidden talent you would like to present to your fellow Warriors?  Mr. Sisler is the Master of Ceremonies for all home basketball game half-time performances.  If interested in being a part of any of these events, please see Mr. Sisler in the Athletic Office.  It's a Great Day to be a Warrior!

Congratulations to the Warrior Wrestling Teams! All levels defeated the Grandview Wolves in Centennial League action last night. The Varsity won a close dual meet, 40-39. Great job Warriors!

The JV girls basketball team got another win last night against Rock Canyon with a final score of 44-31 in a very aggressive game.  Their defensive press once again worked well creating turnovers for some quick baskets to get them up quickly to start and then they kept the lead from that point on until the final buzzer.   They are 2-0 in their tournament this week so far with their last game this Saturday against Thunder Ridge at Rock Canyon High School at 2:00.  This latest win puts their overall record at 3-0.  Congratulations on a great start to your season!!

Warriors always take care of one another.
