1958

The SAS Eagles were born when students voted on the team name in 1958-59. That year, the school's first varsity team took the field in fast-pitch softball. The Eagles played as the Diamonds in the Singapore Softball Association under the sponsorship of Goodyear, because the school did not have a budget for extracurricular sports. To call it a varsity team was a stretch as it contained seventh and eighth graders.
