🎓 Sequatchie County Middle School Week Ahead: Sports, Clubs & Picture Day

Sequatchie County Middle School in Dunlap is keeping students and families busy this week with a full slate of athletic practices, club meetings, and special events.

📅 What’s Happening This Week

The week of October 12-16 brings a mix of athletic competition and student engagement. 🏀 Basketball takes center stage with scrimmage games on Monday (girls at 5:00 p.m., boys at 6:00 p.m.), followed by practice sessions throughout the week. A home boys basketball game against Dayton City is scheduled for Thursday, with JV play at 4:00 p.m. and varsity at 5:00 p.m. Girls basketball practice moves to the high school facility later in the week.

Beyond the court, marching band practice runs daily from 3:15-5:30 p.m., while cheerleading and baseball workouts round out the athletic calendar. ⚾ Baseball workouts are scheduled Monday through Friday from 3:05-4:15 p.m.

✨ Special Events & Student Life

Tuesday brings two highlights: fall picture retakes and winter sports pictures, plus a popcorn reward for students with perfect September attendance during Braves Blocks. 📸 These moments help capture memories and celebrate student achievement.

Student clubs continue to thrive. 📚 The Harry Potter Club meets Wednesday from 3:00-4:00 p.m., while the Comic Book Club gathers Thursday at the same time. FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) meets Thursday morning at 7:00 a.m., offering early-morning connection for interested students.

💜💛 Community Values in Action

The school’s motto-“Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe, Be Sequatchie”-frames the week’s activities. These events reflect how middle school serves as more than academics: it’s a place where students build friendships, develop skills, and belong to a community that cheers them on.
