Westerner Competitions

Westerner Athletic Competition

The purpose of the Westerner athletic program is for athletes, coaches, administrators, faculty, and student body to meet the challenge and adventure of competitive sports with other schools in Texas. Whether as an a player or loyal supporter, Lubbock High Westerners take an active interest in the Westerner athletic program.

The athletic program at Lubbock High School is essential to the development of the student's interest and satisfaction to his physical and competitive needs. Lubbock High competes in the following Texas University Interscholastic League events: football, basketball, baseball, cross country, softball, track, tennis, golf, volleyball, swimming, wrestling, and soccer along with the non-League sport of gymnastics.

The name Westerner is adopted by every loyal student in Lubbock High and is particularly applied to those first teams which represent the school in interscholastic athletic contests. Loyal Lubbock Westerners also actively support all LHS sports activities.
