On Friday the Sr. Boys Basketball team competed in SOSSA at Governor Simcoe. Playing in front of a home buy-in crowd, the boys fought hard to cut an early Simcoe lead to single-digits into the half. In the second half, the shots stopped falling, as the boys fell to the Red Coats. Coach Bleich and Coach Petro would like to thank the boys for a terrific season. This is a reminder to return your washed jersey to Mr. Petro ASAP.
Attention all boys interested in trying out for the Sr. Boys Baseball team, there is now a sign-up sheet outside of Room 406. Please sign-up ASAP if you plan on trying out for the team as tryouts will begin this week. Please see Mr. Petro if you have any questions.
