Dragon Athletics
Our students never forget the
great teams and fans at Saint George’s
Saint George’s no-cut, championship athletic program is exceptionally popular, supported, and successful. Each year, more than three-quarters of our students participate in Dragon athletics, enjoying the social and physical benefits of team play. During every season of the year, our gymnasiums are full of students shooting hoops, spiking volleyballs, or scaling our climbing walls. They run through the evergreen woods and along the river that borders our scenic campus to achieve top endurance levels for the sports of their choice.
Saint George’s has one of Washington's most successful athletic programs. We've been the Washington State 'B' All-Sports Champions four times, and over the last 15 years our boys or girls basketball teams have played in the state title game 10 times, most recently winning the girls State B Championship in 2004. Our teams also have dominated the Panorama League and district competitions, placing high at state in girls' and boys' cross country, girls' and boys' track, boys' baseball, and boys' soccer. Our students also represent Saint George's well in girls' volleyball, girls' softball, and boys' and girls' tennis. Across the years, our teams have won 84 league championships, 43 district championships, and have qualified for state 37 times, taking home 24 state championships.
The opportunity for me to play college basketball began with the no-cut policy at Saint George’s. That policy allows late-bloomers, like me, to realize their potential.

The Saint George’s community embraces our athletes’ talents as equally as it applauds our actors on the Founders Theater stage. There’s nothing like a passionate fan dressed in red and white yelling, “Go Dragons!”

It’s fun to be an athlete and walk onto the floor under the lights and the noise and to look into the stands and see friends, teachers and family supporting you.

Sports Teams Rank High in Academics
Ten of Saint George's 12 varsity teams placed in the top 8 statewide by grade point average. They include Baseball (8th), Boys Basketball (5th), Boys Cross Country (3rd), Boys Soccer (3rd), Boys Tennis (1st), Boys Track (4th), Girls Cross Country (8th), Girls Tennis (3rd), Girls Track (4th), and Softball (8th). Girls Basketball (3.429) and Volleyball (3.597) were the only two that didn’t place, but their GPA’s were higher than other teams we had that did place. Last year nine of the 12 SGS teams placed in the top 8 academically statewide, so this was not a one-time accomplishment.

SGS senior Chessey Thomas, playing for LC, earned her second State 4A Individual Golf title in Pasco on May 26 by a two-shot margin. Her scores of 68 and 70 gave her a two-day combined total 138 -- enough to hold off Kentwood's Rui Li for the championship. "Last year it was mine to win and this year it was mine to lose," said Thomas in a Spokesman-Review article. "Either way, it's tough. Today, the last nine holes, I was just thinking greens and fairways." Thomas will attend the University of Tennessee in the fall. The Lady Vols' golf team is currently ranked in the top 10 in the nation.
