Our goal in providing competitive athletic programs is to give our students an opportunity to learn to work as members of a team, to learn and follow the rules of the game, and to learn to abide by the decisions of coaches game officials, and other authorities.  Finally, we want everyone to remember that athletes are first and foremost students.  Their studies come first and must not suffer because of their participation in sports.
