Granger’s thank you

Thank You for Your Support at the 1A Basketball Tournament

We would like say “thank you” to all of the people who came out and supported the Granger Girls’ Basketball Team throughout the state tournament last week.
First, thanks to the die-hard supporters that we get on a regular basis – from the parents and grandparents to the students and the graduates and the Granger community members who are always there cheering on the girls. You are truly the lifeblood of support that our programs need.
Second, thanks to the alumni and friends of Granger that came out who haven’t been able to make it as often as they would like but were at the Sundome in full force in their Spartan red and white. It was good to see so many of you in the stands once again.
Finally, thanks to all of those people from around the valley who came out and cheered on the Lady Spartans. We were extremely touched to see people from towns and schools that we call rivals supporting us, especially in the state championship game on Saturday night. Rumor has it that even a few Zillah people were sporting red outfits in the stands (or as close to red as they could allow themselves to wear in public!). While we may wear different colors and sit on opposite sides of the gym when we play against each other, it was nice to see so many people from other communities join us as neighbors and friends to watch our girls’ amazing run through the tournament. Rivalries are great for communities to have with one another, but the true spirit of high school athletics showed through last weekend as rivals came together in support of a shared goal.
Thank you so much for your kindness and support. You’ll never know how much it meant to all of us.
