The MSHSAA has released the official enrollment numbers for classification purposes. West Plains comes in at 1200. That puts WPHS as the 98th largest school in the stae. This means that WPHS will be in Class 2 for Boys soccer for the next 2 year cycle. That is the same class we have been in the last 2 years.

We will also be in Class 2 for Girls soccer for the next 2 year cycle. This is a change because Girls soccer will go to 3 Classes next year instead of 2 Classes like they are this year.

Actual District assignments won’t be posted until probably August for the Boys and later for the Girls.

A couple of changes have been made to the Girls 2008 Schedule.

- The Mountain Home Game scheduled for March 17 has been cancelled.

- The Harrison game scheduled for March 21 has been rescheduled for Tuesday March 18 at
4:30pm.

For the past 10 years the WPHS Boys Soccer Team has attended Team Camp at MSU. The girls have taken a team once. We would like to take teams back to Team Camp. In order to do that, we need to have 15 players to make a team. The dates and costs for the Girls and Boys Camps are listed below. If you/your child would like to attend, please let Coach Schmitt know As Soon As Possible. We will have you fill out a form and when we know we have enough interest, will will begin collecting deposits ($125.00). The balance will be do when we arrive at camp.

Girls Team Camp - Thursday, June 26 - Sunday, June 29 - $ 355 Resident - $295 Commuter

Boys Team Camp - Tuesday, July 22 - Friday, July 25 - $355 Resident - $295 Commuter
