The WWSSC football co-op has and will continue to look for ways to improve the program for the future. School Board and administrative representatives from all 3 schools met and decided that one way to improve is to rebrand the co-op with a new mascot. This will give the WWSSC co-op its own identity instead of having the same mascot as SCW. This would also be the best time to make a change as it’s the year we order new uniforms. The colors of the co-op will remain the same and students from each school will have an opportunity to help rebrand. Administration will work with their 7-12 student body to come up with the top mascot idea from each school with a deadline of December 16. Then we will have a vote with the top 3 mascot ideas with all schools voting to decide on what mascot best represents our co-op. The timeline is very short and we would like to have everything decided by the Holiday Break.
Congratulation to Caleb Kneen who received first in his weight class in the Mitchell powerlifting meet with Hudson Fouberg coming in second in her weightclass!
