Tiger Softball is Regional Champions!!! TIGER ROAR!!!!!
Jefferson West (3A🥎) won their Regional Championship game with a 6-3 victory over traditional 3A contender Santa Fe Trail to punch their ticket to the 3A state tournament in nearby Topeka. Tigers played in a very solid Big East League in its first year of existence. Head coach Maddy Barger and team has seen an awesome season in her first year as Head Coach. Coach Barger was on the state title team 10 years ago when Jefferson West won it all before continuing her career at Emporia State.

It's graduation day for the Class of 2025! Congratulations!!
Graduation is such a special time, both for the graduate and the people who love them! It marks an important milestone. It's a time of completion and recognition of hard work and achievement. There can be a lot of emotions, too – excitement, nervousness, and nostalgia as you close one chapter of your life and begin a new one full of opportunities, possibilities, and uncertainty.
Struggling to decide what to do after graduation is, and always will be, a sort of rite of passage to the next phase of your life. Like a parachute, your mind must be open to function. If you don’t like where you’re going, change direction. “The road to success is always under construction.” – Lily Tomlin
You and you alone are the only person who can live the life that writes the story you were meant to tell. You are your best thing, and we are sending you off on your next great adventure.
"Now go, and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here." – Neil Gaiman
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill
