They’re locked in, focused, and poised to finish strong as they head into the postseason. The best is yet to come!
Boys Basketball: 8-2 The boys are putting in the work to make a strong return to the championship after a stellar 2023-2024 season! While the competition in D3 boys basketball has ramped up, the team holds a solid 8-2 record and continues to grow.

With an impressive 8-1 record, their only loss came at the hands of Oyster River, the defending champion from the 2023-2024 season.

The Lady Saints are ranked in the top 6 in the state in every event, while the Gentlemen Saints are ranked in the top 6 in 10 out of 11 events. That’s 21 out of 22 events with a Saint in the top 6—talk about dominance!
