Welcome to the West Florence High School 2021 football season. We are excited about the possibilities of our athletic season at West and are looking forward to your continued support of our student athletes in their comprehensive high school experience while in attendance at our school. Our administration, staff and coaches are committed to providing a challenging, supportive and caring environment where our student-athletes can reach their academic, athletic and personal potential. We expect our coaches, athletes and spectators to conduct themselves in a manner that shows respect and sportsmanship when we interact with opposing teams, coaches, fans and contest officials. I am excited to be a part of the rich tradition of athletics and look forward to supporting our community here at WFHS.

WELCOME, KNIGHT FANS! Thank you for coming to an athletic event at West Florence High School! We hope you enjoy our hospitality tonight, and we hope you have a great game day experience. We welcome you to another exciting evening enjoying fellowship, and of course, pride in our athletic programs. The hard work of our football players, cheerleaders, band members, volleyball players, tennis athletes, golfers, runners, coaches and support staff will be on display before your very eyes. What you might not see is the hard work our student-athletes have been putting in the classroom. Last year, our 500+ athletes averaged an astonishing 4.2 GPA. While our community service was down because of the global pandemic, we are proud of the work we have done. We are more proud of our classroom accomplishments that we are of our ninth consecutive All-Sports City championship, or our sixtyfour All-Region VI Athletes. As you might have noticed, we have made a few upgrades on Beltline Drive. A renovated gym, resurfaced tennis courts, refreshed cross country trail, and what we think is the coolest football stadium in the state are symbolic of the growth we are experiencing. Everything we have done is for the benefit of the students in our school and our community.
Greg Johnson, Athletic Director
