We are participating in a very cool thing this year at the JH level. Our JH Boys and Girls Basketball teams will participate in Blackout Cancer Night at Spring Garden Grade School Nov 12, 2022. The girls JV game starts at 3:00 pm followed by girls varsity. Boys JV starts at 6:00 pm followed by varsity. We always nominate Josh Simmons as our recipient of the donations. Our proceeds or donations, which are welcome, will go to him as he continues to battle cancer. I highly support these types of events because my own mother has and/or is battling 3 types of cancer in her life. You can count on my support and donation. For more information on this event contact Athletic Director Bob Hamerski at the school.
