Our basketball programs are off and running. Last weekend our boys basketball program hosted games with the King Cove team. Our guys fought a good fight and even though we didn’t win on the score board, they proved to be winners in many important ways. I expect we will a win next week when they compete in King Cove. Good Job Team!
Our girls basketball team also competed with King Cove last weekend. Their competition was in King Cove. Once again we weren’t successful in gaining a win, but our girls showed great heart and progress. We will be hosting the King Cove girls in a competition next weekend on November 20th and 21st. Please come out to support our girls and to have a fun time. Way to go girls!
