Although our sports teams are not that great, we got into the sweet 16 this year for basketball! Despite not being the best in every sport, tons of people attend the sporting events as they are loads of fun and instill a sense of school pride and honor! Also, the Intramural Leagues for soccer, football, baseball, basketball, tennis and frisbee are awesome and great ways to get exercise and have fun!

Going out to football games in the fall and basketball games in the spring are pretty popular here. However, other lesser known sports are pretty fun to watch too, like hockey. If you're not big into the mainstream ball sports, there's also rowing, gymnastics, dance groups, martial arts clubs, etc.
