Coach Wesley Thanks Volunteers
I want to say “Thank you” to the many people who worked at this year’s powerlifting meet. Our judges were: Mike Hillger, Scotty Hillger, Justin Hillger, Steve Pelzel, Randy Schmitz and stand-by Michael Hoch. The people in charge of keeping the meet running by calling out names and numbers were: Doug Coats, Henry Chudej, Mark Frysak and Douglas Plagens. Those in charge of managing the weight cards at the table were: Nancy Hillger, Kathy Livingston, Pam Hughes, Micki Wesley, Amy Hoch and Darla Burks. Running the poster boards were Linda Frysak and Tibby Niehues. Students who helped were: Brecklyn Hughes, Jessica Hoch, Allison Jansa, Alicia Frysak, Kimberly Webb, Leslie Jansa, Anna Flores, Meagan Niehues and Angela Schraeder. The most physical job was the spotter/loader positions, manned by Cory Multer, Robert Lopez, Mitch Rider, Colby Hirt, Ryan Machicek, Justin Pierson, Ryan Alvarado, Jacob Schmitz, Landon Wesley and Spencer Plagens. I would like to say a special “Thanks” to our coaches, who give an endless supply of help. Brent Kirkland, Shana Kirkland and Johnny Willis were also judges at the meet. I would like to thank Robin Gray, the band and the parents for managing the concession stand and feeding the hungry. As with all events that we host at Garden City, it takes many volunteers to put on a first class meet. This community has been tremendous in helping host events and activities.
Wesley Details Booster Club Activities
The Bearkat Booster Club has been actively involved in many projects at the Garden City schools. During football season, the club sold spirit shirts, hats and other items to promote school and community unity. The boosters also built a huge sign for our team motto, “IRON WILL.” They also sponsored the beginning of a new era of the Bearkat Basketball Tournament. Many members worked long hours during that tournament, which raised thousands of dollars in concession stand sales. These proceeds have been used for paying for the players’ list boards, new matting along the walls and for a scorers’ table in the gymnasium. Many other projects need to be started and others paid for. We would like to construct a building between the tennis courts and track (one that would not blow over) to serve as a tennis center during our tennis meets and a scorers’ box during a track meet. We may also be able to use it to store track equipment. We encourage anyone interested to join the Bearkat Booster Club to help support our teams.
