A look at South Kitsap’s depth in winter programs
December 9th, 2009 at Wed, 9th, 2009 at 5:17 pm by chrischancellorIf you have checked out any of the winter previews, one constant theme is the depth that all four South Kitsap teams feature.
Part of this is the result of winter sports featuring the fewest number of teams. During the spring, fastpitch, golf, tennis and track all are competing for females, while baseball, golf, soccer and track are vying for males.
During the winter, both the boys and girls have basketball and wrestling in addition to swimming for males. But perhaps just as important is the success these programs have experienced. It is pretty simple — more people want to be involved with successful programs. Boys basketball, swimming and wrestling all have experienced sustained runs of success.
But the girls basketball team is experiencing a resurgence after advancing to state last spring for the first time in nine years. The level of interest in the program not only brought depth to the junior varsity and C-team levels, but has added an infusion of talent to the roster. While the Wolves do not feature the height of last year’s team, no one would argue that this squad is the most athletic one the school has seen in several years.
The emergence of that program coupled with the others should result in another exciting season for South’s athletic programs.
