The athletic programs at Hockinson High School are built on the values of Integrity, Relentlessness, Dedication, and Community. All of these values are on display every season, including this past Fall Sports regular and and post seasons. Our student-athletes practiced and competed hard. They also positively represented our school and community - a statement that is as true for Boys Tennis as Girls Soccer and our other four sports programs. Case-in-point: The HHS Football Team earned the respect of a recent opponent they faced during their November 6 play-in game for the State Football Tournament.

During the game against Archbishop Murphy High School, a member of the school's chain gang sought out HHS Principal Tim Fox and HSD Superintendent Steve Marshall to express his admiration for the HHS Football players and coaches. He told Fox and Marshall that the HHS sideline was one of the classiest and best-managed he'd ever seen, adding that the team's behavior and language was exceptional.

Days after the game, an Archbishop Bishop administrator also sent an email applauding the team's conduct. He wrote:

Since our game I've been hearing compliments about your football players from a variety of our faculty and staff.

Everyone who interacted with your players has said they were polite and respectful before and after the game. Our custodial staff noted that your team left all spaces they used very clean - probably better than when they arrived.

Your team deserves recognition for their behavior and character.

These kind words are not isolated to our Football team. We receive similar compliments for Hockinson's student-athletes every season. Go Hawks! and Go Hornets!

We know our students are proud to represent their schools and their community. Our schools, in turn, are proud of our HSD sports teams and athletes.
