IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week:  This past week the Chicago Cubs won their first World Series in over 100 years.  As told by their front office personnel, it took thousands of small sacrifices by players and people throughout the organization to finally bring an end to the longest dry spell in baseball history.  Good things in sports don’t happen by accident.  Take your school team as an example.  Coaches prepare all year long for a season that might last three months.  Athletes train year round and hope the improvement shows when their season begins. Every team/individual aims to win its last game of the year because it would mean a state championship.  But nothing great happens without everyone being on the same page.  What are the big and small sacrifices that it takes to give your team a championship shot?

Swimmers and divers: Bus 78 runs an after school bus route that will pick up any swimmer/diver who needs a ride to GMS.  This bus is one of the last in the circle drive after school for normal pick up and generally departs within five minutes after the end of school.  Look for Bus 78!
