Over the years (19 to be exact) I have had the opportunity
to attend approximately 1500 athletic events.
A dozen or two have specific memories attached to them while the
remaining tend to blur together over the years.
No matter if it is a playoff game or a regular season contest, there are
some things about Cougar athletics that I find to be both unique and special to
our community. Below you will find my
top 5 reasons why Cougar athletics are special.
If you find time in the upcoming week or two, please let me know what
makes Cougar athletics special to you.
5 Fresh Cut Fries and other great food
at home games – If you have not been to one of our home varsity soccer games, it is time to see what it’s like. The Cougar Den is the snack stand organized
and run by the Athletic Booster Club and parent volunteers.
4 Conestoga Athletic
Booster Club – The athletic boosters not only organize and
provide the snacks, but the money raised goes into the athletic program to help
alleviate the costs of athletics for parents and students.
3 Tournaments
– CCS hosts three tournaments a year: The Cougar Invitational, The Cougar Hoops
Shootout, and the Cougar Classic. Each
of these tournaments has been filled with laughter, cheering, and excitement on
a regular basis.
2 Supportive Fans
– The sound of fans cheering, chanting, and/or singing in unison in support of
our student athletes is amazing.
1 Friday Night Lights
– I guess that since this is my number 1, it is pretty obvious that I am the
soccer coach. We are truly blessed to be
able to watch, play in, or coach at a location with such a phenomenal
view. A picture that is forever etched
in my memory is the view from atop the soccer field looking out over the south
mountain in late September or early October as the leaves are changing and the
sun is setting. Fans wait in
anticipation for the action to come as players make their way onto the field in
preparation for the night’s event.
If you have not had the opportunity to come out and support
the CCS teams, check the schedule HERE
for an event coming soon.
