For her Senior Project, West Jefferson Senior, Alena Messerli, has planned a Wrestling Camp for GIRLS ages Preschool through 8th grade. Alena wants to share her love of the sport and teach some basics.
Girls Wrestling has recently been one of the fastest growing sports. The National Federation of State High School Associations noted that girls wrestling participation numbers have increased by approximately 134% since the 2021-2022 season.
Contact Alena with any questions or to sign up your daughter for this camp!

Coach Higgs' schedule for Sep. 29 - Oct. 2, 2025. West Jefferson High School and Junior High athletes are welcome!
Our West Jefferson football team will be traveling to Nampa to meet up with Grangeville on Friday, Sep. 26. JV begins at 4:00 PM with Varsity at 7:00 PM.
Nampa High School does not use NFHS Network, but they have scheduled our games to be broadcast on Hudl. To view the games online, you will need to either pay for one game for $8.54, or to view both JV and Varsity games, it's cheaper to subscribe to the monthly subscription for $15.75. This subscription only allows you to view the game on one device.
