Football

   Football has nine  games this season and has already won their first. On Aug. 26, the Knights beat Mohave Accelerated Learning Center, last year’s fourth  seed, in a shutout, 18-0. Their second game was unfortunately canceled against Cibecue High School, so their first official home game is this Friday, Sept. 9th against Anthem Prep at the Chandler Prep field.

Cheer

   Cheer practices started this summer and the team has been working hard to perform their best during games and the upcoming Homecoming game. Though their first game was canceled, the team is  excited for the next one on Sept. 9. Captain and senior Cami Wisneski says, “I’m so excited to improve and perform as a team this cheer season! I hope to see a lot of support and school spirit this year!”

   The girls’ volleyball season has begun and both the JV and Varsity teams have already played two games. JV won both of their games against Arete Prep and Rancho Solano and the Varsity  started the season off with a win against Arete Prep.
