MEMORIAL MUSTANGS ATHLETICS

"We believe that participation in sports provides a wealth of opportunities and experiences that assist students in personal growth and development."

- Coach Sam

MLS ensures that each student athlete reaches his or her maximum potential. It is our mission to develop the whole student, not just the athlete, in mind, body, and spirit, in a Christian education. Our focus is to foster skill development, sportsmanship, teamwork, character, and leadership.
