At the end of July, a few teams enjoyed some much needed time off after the Edge and summer workouts ended.
But with August now upon us, a number of fall sports teams; tennis, volleyball, football and cross country, are all ramping up for their respective regular seasons.
Tennis, in fact, has already held their first competition.
Team tennis hosted two DFW schools, Sherman and Denison, at the tennis center in the SSISD Athletic Complex on Monday, Aug. 2 at 9 A.M. and 2 P.M., respectively.
It will be a busy time for the tennis team, coached by Tony Martinez, as they will compete against four more schools before the school year begins on Aug. 18.

Volleyball will be the next busiest team; after having tryouts at the SSHS Main Gym on Aug. 2, they will be participating in some scrimmages this Saturday, Aug. 7 after having two-a-days this week.
After this week has concluded, they will turn around and host two schools; North Lamar and Sherman at 9 A.M. and 1 P.M., respectively.
