WINTER RECAP

Way to go, Jaguars!

All of our winter athletes left it all on the court and on the mat this season, and we have so much to be proud of. On the hardwood, both basketball teams finished with 15 or more varsity wins, and several of our athletes climbed to the top of the Seckman record books.

On the wrestling mat, it was nonstop action all winter long. The Seckman wrestling program saw success from the rookies all the way through the seniors this past season. They brought home plaques and medals on a weekly basis, all the way through the final day of the season, when one of our Jaguars stood atop the podium in Columbia as a state champion!

And let's not forget about our very own Jag Swag that brought home some hardware all the way from Nationals in Orlando, Florida. They represented Seckman proudly as they took the big stage.

The dedication and commitment shown by all of our athletes and coaches this season has been incredible. What is even more exciting is that, as I write this, some of our winter athletes are already back in the weight room preparing for next year. I believe the best way to describe the mindset currently is: “No Off-Season!”

The first day of tryouts next year is November 2, and I know the Jags will be ready.

Kaemen completed the 2025-26 season with an overall record of 43-5 and was the Class 4 State Champion in the 106-pound weight class.

We had a back and forth battle between Fox and Seckman during our Full Court Friends game. There was no better way to end this friendly competition than with a 10-10 tie. Congratulations to both teams

Our STUCO did an amazing job organizing and carrying out a Coaches vs. Cancer event. The campaign was led by juniors Avarey Gardiner and Brooklyn Sauer. The event kicked off with a Student vs. Faculty Basketball game and finished up with the Varsity Boys Basketball game as they took on the Ladue Rams. It was an amazing event that raised over $4,000 for the American Cancer Society.

The campaign will remain open until May 1st. Please support the cause and donate. Your donation will help Seckman earn the top spot in the "Paint it Team" fundraiser. The top school will earn $5000 package from Team Express. Donate HERE

We are excited to announce the Fox School District has partnered with FinalForms, an online forms and data management system for athletic and activity participation. FinalForms is an easy-to-use platform that enables parents and guardians to complete, upload, and update required athletic forms online from the convenience of your phone, tablet, or computer. FinalForms is a proud partner of the Missouri Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (MIAAA) and the National Federation of High Schools (NFHS).

One of the biggest benefits for you is that information carries over season-to-season and year-to-year, meaning you will never need to enter the same information twice. Whenever possible, FinalForms pre-populates data for each student—saving you time and simplifying the process.

Account Setup & Signatures

This system requires both a parent/guardian and the student to create accounts.
Both must log in and sign all required forms for the student to be fully cleared.

Once registered, you can:
