KENT, WA  --  Last year, Mill Creek Principal Anthony Brown began a tradition of recognizing great moments in Mill Creek history to help share the amazing achievements of students and staff with all those who walk the hallways of Mill Creek. 

During the recognition ceremony and unveiling of the 2008-2009 Boys Basketball Championship Banner, Mr. Brown awarded the team with this great honor by stating, "Mill Creek Middle School opened in 2005.  As with any new school we had new students, staff, and a new athletic program.  From the very first year the school opened everyone could tell that the basketball team had talent, but the talent needed a little polishing.  None of the basketball players were used to playing together, and they needed to build a fundamental foundation as a team because they were so young.  Every year that passed, it was clearly visible that the Mill Creek basketball team was heading in the right direction.  The Mill Creek basketball team was getting better and better.  Slowly, it was evident that they turned the fundamental foundation they had built over the first couple years of the program into a tradition of winning, hard work, and a team that fostered respect for themselves and demanding respect from their opponents.  Their 2008-2009 season was uplifting and extremely exciting to watch and that was obvious by the show of support by parents, students, and staff.  They are one of the first championship teams in Mill Creek history and they brought the very first championship banner to Mill Creek.  Congratulations."

A plaque with the same commemorative inscription read by Mr. Brown to the team will appear in the hallway as visitors enter the school.  The 2008-2009 season will also be recognized in the newly refurbished Mill Creek Gymnasium with a championship banner.
