Not the result we were hoping for, but we can’t say enough about how proud we are of @SMWestBaseball. They fall to Free State 7-1 in the State Championship game and finish 2nd in the 6A State Baseball Tournament. So proud of Coach Reed and the boys.

[Sarah Gonzalez @Smwvikingsoccer]

As the seniors approach their last day of high school, we want to thank their favorite high school teachers. Thanks to Mr. Baker, Ms. Buenger, Mr. Euthon, Coach Reece, Ms. Sherraden, and Mr. Stanturf for all that you do for our West students.
