\u201cThe thing that I will miss the most about Wayne Trace is the sports. The teams that I was a part of were my second families. I grew to have some great relationships with my teammates and coaches. Additionally, I always looked forward to Friday night football or basketball games where there was so much excitement and energy that you could not help getting swept up right along with it! I love the sportsmanship and competition that grew over the years between my team and our rivals, and our fans were always so supportive! I will also miss the friendly relationships I have with my teachers and academic mentors at Wayne Trace, who increased my knowledge and gave my one of the best academic experiences!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
