To the editor — Congratulations to the West Valley boys’ basketball team.
If you follow local sports; you probably know the West Valley boys’ basketball team won the district title and brought home a fifth-place trophy form the state tournament.
What you probably do not know is that they won another state award this week. For the second time in three years, the members of the WV boys’ basketball team were the boys 4A basketball academic state champions with a 3.85 GPA.
Congratulations to the players for their commitment to their schoolwork, the parents for your encouragement and the teaching staff at WV for keeping them on track. A special shout-out to Coach Tyson Whitfield, who instills in his players a desire for excellence both on the basketball court and in the classroom.
Go Rams!
