  In a re-match from the Kingdom of the Sun Tournament game won by the North Marion Colts, Thursday night Feb. 3, was a different game with a different outcome.
“I feel like our team gained some mental toughness tonight,” said Williston Head Coach Steve Faulkner following his teams 81-75 win in overtime over the 4A North Marion Colts.
“Those two missed free throws at the end of regulation time were really big” Faulkner said.

The 14 Williston High School varsity softball team members will start the defense of their 2010 District and Regional Championships and hope to return to the State Final Four this season with a different result.
For the seven seniors and several returning juniors, this is the season to complete the long awaited journey to a state championship victory.

The 2011 Red Devil Varsity Baseball team “is a young team with a very sour taste in their mouths from last season,” said Head Coach Jim Smith. “We just are not used to sitting at home when the state playoffs are going on.”
Smith was referring to the 2010 Red Devil team that failed to make the playoffs for the first time in eight seasons.
This is the motivation tool for the seven returning varsity players that have a ton of talent and gained a lot of valuable experience last season.

Following the holidays and a rough couple of tournament games, the Williston varsity boy’s basketball team took the win over district foe Newberry 63-47 Tuesday night Jan. 4, at the Williston gym.
The Red Devils looked like a team on a mission as they jumped out to an early 8-0 lead before the Panthers found the basket.
The Red Devils were led by sophomore Tre Wilson with 14 first half points as the Red Devils went up and down the floor the entire first half. The Red Devils held a 41-22 lead at the half time break.
