The Westside Rebels Senior High football team did something this year that has not been done in a long time. They won an outright, conference championship. It is great timing because Westside is celebrating it's 25th year in existance. That's right, in 1984, the small schools in the communities of Hartman and Coal Hill joined together to for the Westside School District. In the past 25 years Westside has changed greatly in some areas and very little in others. Atheletics has always been a source of pride for the students of Westside (my self included). Though we are only a AA school ( we were a A school before the changes to classifications) and onw of the smallest ones at that, the atheletes take pride in performing to their greatest potential and giving their very best. Some years, this leads to great success. Others, well, can be a grind to be honest. This year, because of the efforts of the entire football team (all 19 of them), history was made for Westside. I have several students that are on the football team and their focus both on school and sports has been terrific. Congratualtions, guys.
