SARTELL (WJON News<\/a>) —\u00a0With the football season wrapping up this last weekend, it is time to start looking ahead to winter sports. Sartell-St. Stephen High School<\/a> is hoping to build on its fall success. The Sabres’ Volleyball team went to the state tourney for the first time since 1977, and Superintendent Michael Rivard says the experience was great for the entire school:<\/p>\n

“It was so fun to be down there and watch our students come down in a couple of buses to cheer on their team. Our community was there, our parents were there, and just a real neat way to end a historic and exciting season for our volleyball team, so really, really proud of these girls.”<\/p>\n

Rivard says sports and academic leagues are important for the kids and the community as a whole:<\/p>\n

“It’s always rewarding for our coaches, it’s rewarding for our teachers, our parents who put so much energy into helping their students be successful, but most importantly, it’s so important for our kids to see us out there, to see us as adults out there supporting them too.\u00a0 It’s an amazing feeling to have that happening in my hometown.”<\/p>\n

Rivard says whether it is academic leagues or sports, school activities help kids grow and be successful as they build towards their future, no matter how the team does.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Volleyball team’s state run, the Boys’ and Girls’ Soccer teams, and Girls’ Swim team reached state, Andrew Berndt went to state for Cross Country, and the Math League and DECA had strong showings at the Apollo Competitions.<\/p>\n
