A SPECIAL FAREWELL
On Tuesday, February 23rd, 2016, exactly 62 years to the day after the very first game played at Williston High School, the Coyote basketball teams played their final varsity contests in the current Phil Jackson Fieldhouse. On an emotional evening, alumni were recognized and former basketball coaches and athletic directors were honored. Many familiar faces returned to pay tribute to the place that holds so many memories to so many people in the community. And while Phil Jackson could not be there in person, he sent a video tribute. Steve Slocum emcee'd the ceremony, and he ended it with a fitting nod to a cheer that all alumni remember: "Triple W"...
The Williston Herald article about the evening can be found here.
Watch a highlight video from the event.
