Francis-Kinne Cup Results

Leave a comment

Dear Williston Community –

While all of our contests with Suffield were spirited and hard fought, our friendly rivals down the road in Connecticut will be retaining the cup for another year.  The final score was very close: Suffield 9 Williston 7.  I wanted to congratulate and thank ALL of the Willy students who donned the green and blue this past week against Suffield.   I believe strongly that athletics should bring out the best in us as competitors and I heard nothing but great things from coaches and others about how well and how hard we competed and represented Williston… Much as we all like to win, this is what is MOST important!  Good luck to everyone these last two weeks finishing your seasons on a high note.  Always proud to be a Wildcat!!!

Thank You From Varsity Volleyball

Leave a comment

THANK YOU WILLISTON!!!

Varsity Volleyball was able to raise well over $2,000 due to the support of the Williston community. To everyone that came out – you were an amazing crowd!  While I’m coaching, the focus is on the court.  But when I turned to see what a player was smiling at during a time out, I was amazed at the turnout!

Now that you know how much fun volleyball games are, we’d like to see you fill those stands more often!!!

Didn’t get a t-shirt and still want one?  Shoot me an email with your shirt size.  These will be CASH ONLY sales.  $15.

Special thanks to:
Phil Angelo for being the Wildcat
Boys Water Polo for running around in their Speedos like crazy people
Soccer and Field Hockey for teaming up and raising funds to fight something that affects us all

And again, thanks to  YOU – WILLISTON!!!!!

Enjoy the weekend, y’all!
Ms. Chambers
