Zeps Sports Update
Fall Season Reflection & This Week's Schedule
As we wrap up most of our fall sports seasons, I want to take a moment to reflect on my first fall season with all of you in the Zep community.
First and foremost, thank you! Thank you for welcoming me, helping me along the way, reaching out, and making me aware of concerns, both good and bad. Your communication, support, and willingness to share your thoughts have meant a great deal to me. I truly appreciate each of you and the opportunity to be part of such a great community.
Hopefully, this will not be our final Zep Sports Update for the fall, as we still have two teams going strong: Volleyball and Cross Country! After watching both teams compete, all I can say is WOW! Both teams have been outstanding, and I believe there are still great things ahead. Keep pushing, stay confident, and keep making us proud!
Although this week's schedule is a little lighter, I want to congratulate all of our Zep teams on their fall seasons. Whether your season unfolded exactly as you had hoped or came with some challenges, you overcame those obstacles and represented Shenandoah and our community. Every season brings opportunities to learn, grow, and build for the future. There is so much to look forward to, and I am excited to see what lies ahead for our programs.
This Week's Schedule
Varsity Volleyball
The Lady Zeps are headed to Hiland High School on Tuesday, October 27, to take on the Hawks in a district semifinal matchup!
Good luck, ladies! Keep that confidence high, trust one another, and carry that momentum into the match. We believe in you!
Cross Country
The boys' cross country team is headed to Pickerington North High School on Saturday, October 31, for the regional meet at 3:30 p.m. Ida Estadt will also compete at regionals as an individual following an outstanding second-place finish at districts this past weekend!
Good luck to the boys and Ida! Compete hard, enjoy the moment, and continue to make the entire Zep community proud.
Inspirational Message of the Week
“Success isn't always measured by the final score. It's measured by the effort you give, the character you show, the obstacles you overcome, and the people you inspire along the way.”
As we reflect on our fall seasons, remember that every team has a story. Some seasons bring championships and big victories, while others teach us lessons that help us grow stronger. What matters most is how we respond to challenges, support one another, and continue to represent our school with pride.
Be proud of the work you put in, celebrate the accomplishments of others, and never underestimate the impact you can make by being a great teammate and a positive influence. The season may be ending, but the opportunity to grow, improve, and make a difference never stops.
