We’re proud of our Boys basketball team who has outscored opponents 182 – 93 in just three games!
Monday night is both our 5th Grade Night - all 5th graders get in free with a paying adult - and a key game in the East vs Odyssey! Monday night’s game is sure to be a nail biter as both teams are undefeated.
We have a real chance to put a punctuation mark on this season… Let’s pack the stands and cheer on our Boys towards the one seed spot!
