MEET THE TEAM:
@WSColtsSoftball
is leaving Greensboro and should arrive on campus very close to 9:30 p.m. Feel free to come out and welcome home your STATE CHAMPS!
BALLGAME! Colts will play later tonight with a chance to clinch a state championship. You still have time to get to Greensboro and watch in person! Start time for Game 2 scheduled for 8:00, but will depend on length of 3A game warming up now.
Thanks to Coach Tucker and the entire
@SSHSBULLS
crew for allowing us to use their facility today. Our guys were ready to get the season started and if not for the hospitality of our
@StanlySchools
neighbors, we’d be sitting at home tonight rather than playing the season opener.
We would like to recognize senior
@AustinEudy25
for becoming the Single Season Blocks Record holder for Colt Basketball. Austin tallied 89 blocks on the season which was
#1
for 2A in the state. Congratulations Austin!
BREAKING: West Stanly Track & Field is coming home with not one 🏆, but two 🏆🏆! Congrats to both the Boys and Girls T&F programs for winning the Rocky River Conference Championships today.
Saddened today to hear of the passing of Keith Hinson. A community volunteer with our tennis teams for almost 20 years, Mr. Hinson served countless hours teaching the game he loved to many WSHS tennis players over the last two decades. Thank you, Mr. Hinson. You will be missed!
COUNTY CHAMPS! Boys Basketball takes Stanly bragging rights for the year as Trevor Kelly scores the game-winning basket tonight over South Stanly. The Colts finish with a 5-1 record against SCS opponents for the season.
GOLF: Congrats to Chase Clayton, your 2019 NCHSAA 2A Boys Golf individual runner-up. Chase was one of only two golfers at the 2A championship (out of 83 competitors) to shoot a round under par and it helped lead him to a second place finish.
BACK TO BACK: For the second year in a row, West Stanly HS has won the Wells Fargo Conference Cup award that measures athletic excellence among Rocky River Conference schools. Congrats to our student-athletes and coaches, who earned this recognition with their efforts in 2017-18.

Words could never adequately express our appreciation for everything he has meant to our school. All we can say is that countless lives are better for having crossed paths with a science teacher from Pa. named Mark Rowles. Thank you for a career of service to this place we love.
