VIDEO: A Season Worth Celebrating

Now that the competitions are done and the locker rooms have fallen silent, Patch is looking back on a spring season that picked up right where winter left off: Wolverine athletics continuing its upward ascent.

The best season in years for both boys' and girls' lacrosse. A boys’ track team, loaded with young talent, that placed second in its region after taking the county title last year. A softball team that posted a gutsy playoff upset. Boys’ and Co-ed volleyball teams that improved drastically through the course of the season, with both making the playoffs.

Watkins Mill’s student-athletes found that success in spite of sometimes trying circumstances: the heavy rains wreaked havoc on schedules, teams coped with short rosters and disputed officiating cost the Wolverines more than one win.

"Amongst all the rain delays, late buses, controversial official calls, all the numerous changes, you guys have persevered through, and I just want to thank you," Athletic Director Reggie Spears said at Watkins Mill’s spring athletic awards last week. "I had a great time watching you guys this season."

Added Principal Scott Murphy:

"You’ve forged memories that I hope you will take away for the rest of your life, and you’ve also generated memories generated and excitement about WM athletics. That pride is contagious."
