Athletics

[edit]

Crane's athletic teams are known as the Pirates and Lady Pirates, and the school colors are blue, gold, and white. As of 2023, Crane fields 11 varsity teams, some of which also compete at the junior varsity level.[10] All sporting events are held on the school's campus, with exception of cross country, track and field, and baseball - the latter being held at the baseball field belonging to the city of Crane. The cross country and track and field teams currently only participate in meets that require them to travel, as Crane does not currently have the facilities to host events for these sports. In 2022, residents residing within the Crane school district voted on a school bond that would allow the school to borrow $1 million dollars for the purpose of building an athletic complex that would include a track.[11] The bond measure successfully passed.[12]

The school is a member of the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA).
