Congratulations to Cooper Marquette, Colby Reese, Carol Sadun and Braxton Williams for all being name First Team EKL! You boys had fantastic seasons! We are all proud of you and this honor you all earned!
To all the players who start the first day of high school sports tomorrow, take this one day at a time. Each day you are on the pitch, field, court, fairway, or course - be grateful and give 110%. You can’t control how it will end, but you can control how it will begin.

We traveled to BV High to kick off our season. Varsity boys battled and never gave up, even after going down a goal early. I loved these boys never say die attitude & their belief in one another! We played with so much heart & determination! Boys beat a solid BV High team 3-1.
Lakewood Middle school lost a special teacher to a lot of our boys this past weekend, and they wanted to honor her and play for her today. My wife and I made the shirts to allow the boys to do just that. Love our boys and their hearts.

Tonight, our season ended to a strong OE team. I am so proud of these boys and everything they accomplished this season. These young men proved so many people wrong in what kind of season they thought they were going to have. I absolutely love these boys! They never backed down.
Blue Valley West earns team of the week honors! The Jags are 5-0 and look to remain undefeated as they take on Miege tomorrow.
