Although wins and losses are the markers that normally
categorize success, they should never be the cornerstones of
the PROGRAM. The VISION of our Athletic Program is about the
benefits which are; the experience, involvement, community
service, educational process and establishing character that
can be shaped and molded by the TEAM. The focus on the
vision and philosophy of the Athletic Program brings with it
a tremendous list. All of which must be recognized to meet
the goals that have been set for athletes. It is also
important to realize that within the realm of establishing a
program that offers an opportunity for every student athlete
to participate in some form or fashion.
Athletics is a privilege and not a right. These student
athletes will be held to a higher standard and realizing
this fact makes it necessary to establish proper standards
which will be taught and carried out. The wins and losses
will take care of themselves and WE WILL PUSH to take care
of the wins! “BLEED ORANGE!”
