News...

I hope this post finds everyone doing well and that you all had an enjoyable Thanksgiving with family and friends and were able to give Thanks for all the wonderful things/people that allow you to enjoy your life.
It comes with a heavy heart that I pass along to you the following. Barrett Wepler, our Senior basketball player who collapsed on the floor November 16th ended up passing away at 3pm yesterday, November 29th. We met with our team immediately after school and passed along the news to them.
Obviously, it was tough for the kids to take, but we're working through it as best we can.
Here is a link to an article that was in the KC Star today.

Let me know if you have any suggestions/ideas as to how to help our players handle it.
Above everything though, keep his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers!
Thanks!!
