West Hall athletic director Ethan Banks will proudly tell you “it’s a great time to be a Spartan.” That type of school pride is not uncommon on campuses around the country, but for Banks and West Hall, recent results on the athletic fields and the outlook for the immediate future make the statement ring especially true. The Spartans ended 11-year postseason droughts in both football and baseball last season, reached the state semifinals in boys soccer, and are early favorites to compete for multiple region titles in the new-look Region 7-AAA during the coming season.
