As someone who wore the jersey of our school, I can tell you that sports are an extension of the classroom.

Teamwork, dedication, perseverance and life-long friendships were all forged somewhere between the gym and Fehling Road.

It’s easy to say “defund sports”, but it would also be easy to say the same thing about the band & theater.

Keep it funded, keep the kids engaged in representing their community, keep supporting your chosen program after you’ve graduated and take pride in being from Granite City.

We will always be Warriors.
