Washington County Scholars Bowl had our first Varsity Meet in Abilene last week. The team represented WCHS very well by going 4 - 2 in the pool play, advancing to finals. We finished 4th overall to some really competitive teams with several 5A and 4A high schools in the event. Very proud of this crew and their effort!

The Ruby Reds did not make the top 6 of 14 to advance to finals. We left it all on the mat and put on a good show. It was fantastic to have some familiar faces in the crowd. Thank you, Tigers fans!!
While we didn't advance, we did significantly raise our score from last year by 22.14 points. Our fight song was the greatest improvement making up 13 points from 2023. (Insane level of improvement.)
Stacy and I are incredibly proud of this squad. Make sure you make it to our first basketball game to check out the routine.
GO TIGERS!!
