One strong program that provides Southgate Academy with it's strong sense of community and charm, is it's thriving sports program. Now in my forth year at Southgate Academy, each year I am impressed with our students' dedication and will to succeed on the playing fields and courts of flag football, boy's and girl's basketball, boy's and girl's soccer, and girl's volleyball, as well as all our other extra-curricular activities we have at our school. Watching our students and families come together at our sporting events and cheer on our student-atheletes is encouraging for not only our students, but also the entire Gator Community! This season it was especially encouraging to see our boy's and girl's basketball teams take their talents to the El Pueblo Center on Irvington, a few miles down the road from our Southgate Academy home, and continue to draw a large gator crowd to cheer them on, despite being "on the road". As a coach of the high school boy's flag football team myself, I can't tell you how much it means to our student athletes to see faces from our community including families, teachers, and fellow students in the crowd cheering our teams on! It really means a lot to our teams, to show off our Gator Pride! With both our boy's and girl's high school teams gearing up for their respective playoff tournaments this coming week, I encourage our Gator Community to come out and cheer on our student athletes! It's important to always remember our community and sense of who we are! Gators on 3!
