2010 Middle School Sports
The Teays Valley West Middle School has had it share of moments. In 2010,the Teays Valley wrestling team went undefeated and won the Mid-State League(MSL). Also in 2010, the baseball team shared the MSL with East Middle School. That year, the football team went second in the league, behind only Bloom Carroll, which was also their only loss. The 7th Grade basketball team went only 6-10, but the road win against Circleville was a big motivation tool for the team. Captain Neal Davis,who was the game leading scorer with 20 points hit 2 clutch free throws to win the game at the last second. A missed 3-pointer by Circleville won the West team the game over a team with a better record. The following week, they hung in against Bloom Carroll, but ended up losing in a hard-fought game. The West team are using this season as a motivation tool going forward in the 2011-2012 basketball season.

Famous quotes containing the words middle, school and/or sports:
“F.R. Leavis’s “eat up your broccoli” approach to fiction emphasises this junkfood/wholefood dichotomy. If reading a novel—for the eighteenth century reader, the most frivolous of diversions—did not, by the middle of the twentieth century, make you a better person in some way, then you might as well flush the offending volume down the toilet, which was by far the best place for the undigested excreta of dubious nourishment.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“When we were at school we were taught to sing the songs of the Europeans. How many of us were taught the songs of the Wanyamwezi or of the Wahehe? Many of us have learnt to dance the rumba, or the cha cha, to rock and roll and to twist and even to dance the waltz and foxtrot. But how many of us can dance, or have even heard of the gombe sugu, the mangala, nyang’umumi, kiduo, or lele mama?”
—Julius K. Nyerere (b. 1922)
“There be some sports are painful, and their labor
Delight in them sets off. Some kinds of baseness
Are nobly undergone, and most poor matters
Point to rich ends.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
