It’s a busy time for Willard students who are involved in extra curricular activities. The Winter season ended with a bang as the Tigers took home 3rd place in the State Tournament in Columbia. Congratulations to Coach Travis Evans and the entire Tiger team on a memorable ride!
A special congratulations to Willard sophomore Jackie Fugitt for placing second in Original Oratory at the National Forensic League District competition held at MSU last weekend. This is a very special honor and it qualifies her for the Nationals! Great Job Jackie!!!
Also, congratulations to Readers Theatre and One Act! Readers placed 3rd and One Act placed 1st in District Theatre. The all-district cast is as follows: Evan Rippee, Tiffany Eoff, and Chad Bolin.
Spring sports is getting under way with both baseball and soccer starting their seasons during Spring Break. The baseball Tigers will open in the “Cold Rain” Invitational on Monday while the girls soccer team will open their season on Tuesday at Pleasant Hope. The soccer game will start at 4:30. The girls will then be at Joplin McAuley on Thursday. Willard will host the Willard JV Baseball Tournament starting next Friday and ending on Saturday.
If you have ever doubted Coach Hartley’s ability to coach baseball I have a story that will change your mind. He has actually trained his players to hit foul balls into my truck! Now that takes some serious coaching!
It’s good to be a Tiger!
