Bitterroot Valley High School sports will be in full swing this weekend. Between Darby, Hamilton, Corvallis, Victor, Stevensville, and Florence, there are 32 varsity teams, which include six football teams, six volleyball teams, six cheer squads, five cross country teams, three girls soccer teams, three boys soccer teams, and three golf teams, and that’s not counting all the JV, Freshman, and middle school teams. Needless to say, there are a lot of school sports going on in the next couple of months. Student athletes, parents, volunteers, referees, and coaches have dedicated a lot of time and effort to these activities. Our communities are better because of this, so win or lose, get out there and show your support!
