in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.

Comment: There is nothing whatsoever in this draft to show notability. To show notability, multiple reliable independent secondary sources that discuss the subject in detail are needed. You only have 2 independent secondary sources, and neither speak to notability. High school newspapers are never a reliable source, and the newspaper article regarding the results of a game is not detailed. This will be declined shortly. Please read WP:My first article, ask questions about what you do not understand at the Teahouse and make the needed improvements prior to resubmitting. 4.37.252.50 (talk) 04:52, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
