East Stroudsburg High School South



The East Stroudsburg High School South team is located in the borough of East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Their sibling school, J.T. Lambert Intermediate School, has tended to be more successful than them, but the team is growing. They participate in the competitive Northeastern region at Penn State-Wilkes Barre.

School Info
East Stroudsburg South is one of two high schools in East Stroudsburg Area School District (with the other being East Stroudsburg High School North). The school contains 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders, and the student community is very culturally diverse. Over 1,500 students attend this school. There are over 20 sports teams and over 25 clubs, not including SO. Due to the steady increase of students, the school is now undergoing a massive renovation, which involved the demolition of the historic J.S. Bunnell School, which was located on the school grounds. This renovation is planned to be finished by the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year.Their mascot is the Cavalier and their colors are purple and white.

History
In their history, East Stroudsburg South has yet to make it to the state level. When they were founded in the 2004-2005 year, they naturally struggled and finished 25th. The next couple years were not much better, as they placed 19th and 17th, respectively. However, last year they proved that they are a team to be reckoned with, as they finished 9th, just two places behind the qualification mark. This was a cause for hope that maybe they would be able to finally reach states. However, they fell short of their goals, having a lackluster showing at the MVC/LVC Tournament and failing to make a dent at regionals, with only two medals to show for their attempt. With the J.T. Lambert team being successful in recent years, the team is hopeful that the success will carry over to the high school. EASTstroudsburg13 and Hawke245 were among the members of this year's team.

Other Competitions
Other than the usual Northeastern regional competition at Penn State-Wilkes Barre, the team also participates in the MVC/LVC Tournament. Their regional competition was held on March 11.

MVC/LVC Tournament
This year's MVC/LVC (Mountain Valley Conference/Lehigh Valley Conference) Tournament was held on February 27. 14 teams participated, 5 from the MVC, East Stroudsburg South's conference, and 9 from the LVC. Only 10 of the 23 events were held, and the events that were chosen were not the events in which the team was best at. They placed a rather disappointing 4th, 7 points behind 3rd place.
