Wolves in Action

Wednesday marked the beginning of an amazing tradition to honor the beloved High School founding basketball coach Nick “Swaggy P” Petersen who sadly left us in October 2021.  Nick embodied everything it meant to not just be a great student athlete, but to be a great teammate and to have as much FUN as possible playing on a sports team. CVHS athletics has created an annual award dedicated to the top CVHS athlete who has shown the greatest impact not just on their team, but on the entire community in coach Petersens honor.  Huge shout out to Mr. Patrick Murphy who worked very hard to start this amazing tradition that will live on in CVHS for many years to come.  

It was so great to see current students, incoming freshmen, alumni and staff participate in the 3v3 basketball tournament that raised money to provide a scholarship to the “Swaggy P” award winner.
