On Sept. 1, Wilson hosted high school volleyball
against Chase, Natoma and Central Plains. The next
morning we received two emails, one from an officiant
and one from a KSHSAA representative.
They read as follows:
“I just wanted to say that I had one of the best ever
nights of officiating tonight. Part of that was because I
was working with a great partner and the other reason
is the boys from Wilson. They cheered FOR their
girls, not against the other team. When I was R1, during
timeouts, they would ask for explanations of calls/
rules instead of arguing about calls. They were super
nice and they had fun, which in turn made it fun for
me! The fans/parents were great too! I never heard
one rude comment or yelling over missed calls. It was
such a pleasure officiating there tonight!”
From KSHSAA:
“I wanted to thank you for providing such a positive
experience for the players, coaches, officials and fans.
We could definitely use more schools like Wilson to
help turn the tide of sportsmanship. I hope you let
your students know that their positive actions were
noticed and to keep up the good work!”
I just thought this positivity needed to be in the
paper. I think these comments speak volumes for
Wilson!!
Thank You
