It's fall tournament time!! Coming off NE8 Championships for Tennis and Football, and heading into sectional time for a bunch of our fall sports, we feel it's the appropriate time to kickoff a new program, aimed at CELEBRATING the history of East Noble Athletics and Activities!
At East Noble High School, we have a STORIED history of individual AND team success.
Individually, we honor past athletes with the East Noble Athletic Hall of Fame, and we have Indiana All Stars, and State Placers plaques and pictures galore.
But we also have trophy cases full of Conference, Sectional, and Regional Championship Trophies. In many of those cases, the trophy is put in the case, and the story is lost to history, about a TEAM, that came together, put it all on the line, and became champions. When we slap a year on a banner, have we really told the full story about that team's success?
In a society where we should be teaching kids to work together, to sacrifice for each other, to be great teammates, are we really doing the right thing if we are not celebrating TEAM success!
The East Noble CHAMPIONS Project is going to change this. It is time to put the faces behind the years and the trophies. When East Noble students COME TOGETHER to achieve something greater than themselves, we owe it to that group to make sure that forever, that group is recognized.
The goal of this project is to collect, curate and display the history of the great teams at East Noble.
The Activities Department will be seeking TEAM PICTURES of NEIAC, NHC, NE8, and IHSAA Sectional, Regional, and Semi State Championship Teams, along with individual names of participants in the pictures or a team roster.
Furthermore, we are seeking a synopsis, results schedule, or newspaper article about their championship season.
The goal is to organize this information into both a digital and physical display.
We have begun our digital display online on our website....
https://eastnoblein.sites.thrillshare.com/o/enhs-athletics/page/east-noble-champions
with hopes to add digital displays to lobbies and common areas of the school in the form of TVs, circulating images and stories, as well as touch screen displays that are searchable by name, year, and team over time. Maybe you have seen these displays at other schools?
Here is an example.... https://site.rocketalumnisolutions.com/home/698
Physically, as time goes on, a goal would be to add team champion pictures to hallways or common areas, or potentially areas of future construction in athletic areas.
The reason, I am publicizing this..... The history of team sports at East Noble is VAST, and is not centrally located. We need everyone's help in finding ALL OF OUR CHAMPIONS, and including them all!
If you are a former athlete, coach, fan, parent.. If you have printed pictures, digital pictures, new paper articles (in good shape), we are interested in ALL OF IT!
Sports, Band, Show Choir, Unified, Academic Team Champs.. We want to include them ALL!
