Boys and Girls Both Ranked Second NCS Div II

Our hard work during the year has paid off, and people have noticed. The boys and girls are now both ranked second for NCS Division II. With the top three teams advancing to State, the chances of both teams making it, a feat yet to be accomplished at Santa Rosa High School, is very possible. It's actually a certainty. The only thing standing between the fierce Panthers and State is a muddy course and people to beat. Good thing WETSU.

(if this link doesn't work, just type in "what the hell is sisu?" in the youtube search box)

And if you are REALLY interested... you can learn all about the concept of sisu in the lives of Finnish immigrants in Eastern Connecticutt during the Great Depression. Higher education at work!
