Absolutely spoiled to get to watch today's unified basketball game. The Balsis sisters, yes totally related to our standout Mason Balsis, scored 12 of the team's 36 points. What an amazing game, atmosphere, and show put on by every participant in the game.

Condolences to the Harris family. It is unimaginable to understand what you’re going through right now. Tough loss for many in the community; your son was an inspiration; he will be greatly missed. We will be sure to honor Ryland during the 2022 season.

Absolutely incredible win last night. Jordan Capuano and Jakob Foster teamed up for the no hitter! When you defeat a nationally ranked team that is outstanding it is a great achievement! Excellent work fellas! Great practice tonight, make sure we are locked in for tomorrow!

What a great way to end the night for our 2023 Senior class. This class has been through a lot with the COVID Pandemic that ended their first year, to the shortened season in their second year, but tonight's 4-2 win was a nice cherry on top in their last regular season home game!
Yesterday, Nathan Bishop,
