ACADEMIC, Continued from Front
At North Wood, both Sharp and Freymiller admitted that they enjoy having students from The drama and band departments on their teams. "They really set the tone," Freymiller said about having members of the North Wood band on their academic teams. ' They have a certain level of discipline. They know that hard work equals success." Also while looking for prospective members to their teams, the coaches sometimes rely on their own current members. "We get a lot of referrals," Sharp said. "Some of the kids will say, 'I think so-and-so would be good on the team.'" When neither of those methods work, the teachers may just identify students who would be good for the team just by how they perform in their classes. Scott Whetstone coaches the social studies team, so he's able to spot students in his history classes. "Right now I'm teaching (advanced placement) U S. History," Whetstone said about noticing students who may be good for the team. When searching out that prospective member, ■, the coaches are sure to not just select students from the top of the grade point average list. "It's not only the top students we're looking for," Sharp said. "They also have to have the passion."

As Freymiller pointed out, "There are smart kids in every school." For North Wood students, there academic teams seemed to be just that teams. "We're not a club, we’re a team," Sharp said. Sharp says that many teams wear t-shirts, stating the name of their "club" on the shirt. At North Wood, the coaches say the administration shows its support for their academic "teams." "Not every school lets their academic teams have a coach," Sharp said. "We can count on our administration. We have the support of the WaNee District, which allows us to do this." What they have been doing is winning, and winning on a consistent basis. Following their conference championship, the students are now get geared up for the Area Competition on Tuesday, April 18 at 5 p.m. at Northridge High School. At that competition, the North Wood academic teams will compete for a berth in the State Competition held later in the year. For Freymiller, it's been a pleasure to watch the students who may not excel on the athletic field, excel on the academic field. "It's fun to watch the kids be successful," she said. "It's nice because if a student isn't all that good at sports, but is good at academics, he gets a forum to showcase that."
