Both Southampton teams finished second in the district meet and in season standings.

“We had a very good season this year and gave the district title to Parkview (girls) and Greensville (boys),” said Southampton Coach Scott Edwards. “We had the lead in points early in the year, but injuries hurt us and allowed them to catch us and eventually pass us for the titles.”
