So, what happens when one school shuts down, and combines with another?  In this case, the athletes start “howling”!  In just a few short weeks, the Ranum Raiders and the Westminster Warriors will cease to exist as we know them.  Instead,as Ranum High begins closing, and Westminster begins building a brandnew building, the two student bodies will combine for sports as the new Westminster Wolves.

Along with the new mascot, the teams will have new colors as well… teal, black, and silver.  Recently, some Ranum athletes started practicing their wolf howl, and agreed that morphing into the Westy Wolves probably won’t be all that bad.  Swimmer Matthew Mains called the opportunity “exciting”.  Wrestler Moises Alcala expects it to be “intense.”  “It’s sad”, soccer coach Robert Pablo admitted, then continued, “it’s also, a great new beginning.”

Wrestling coach Adrian Green added, “Our athletes are going to have a unique opportunity to work with their students to start some new traditions, and that’s going to be fun.”   So, good-bye Raiders and Warriors, hello Wolves
