Athletes feel that their sports help improve their studies. Micheal Keene, the CHS Varsity quarterback, said, "It helps me stay on top of my grades, because I feel that it's another motivating factor."

Brandon Buckner, a varsity football player, said, "The coaching staff helps you work harder to achieve your goals."

For all sports, you must have a "C" or higher to play. with this rule strongly enforced, it encourages the athletes to keep their grades up so they can play the sports they love. studies have shown that exercise increases blood flow to the brain and helps the body build more nerve connections that improve concentration and problem solving skills.
