West Athletic Council

Our next fundraising event for the West Athletic Council will be the clay shooting event on July 31st at Iron Mountain Sporting Clays. The funds raised from this event will help to support West Athletics in the upcoming school year. If you are interested in registering for the event, please use the following link: https://fs8.formsite.com/C2AYTo/ix3ulirfim/index.

The West High Girls Volleyball team is looking for a new assistant coach. Please email Coach Lee if interested.

The football team is on the field...but the banners are NOT! Banners are the most popular sponsorship option offered by the WAC with 100% going to your specified team. If you're interested in having a banner at Bill Wilson field or any of our other venues, contact your WAC rep or use the link below. I am also available to answer any WAC-related questions ([email protected]).

We had a great time at the 10th annual WAC golf tournament last week. Lots of people to thank, especially our presenting sponsor Renasant Bank. Chick-fil-A and Dead End BBQ provided breakfast and lunch for our golfers and Marble City Waste sponsored our mulligan ‘trash’ package. We also had sponsors for each hole again this year. A special thank you to Gettysvue Country Club for hosting us and the volunteers who made the event happen.

Yesterday, Callie Schroeffel and Gray Feaster defeated Tennessee High (6-1, 6-1) to win their second consecutive TSSAA Division 1 AA Doubles State Championship! Congratulations ladies!
