Basketball Update
The girls' basketball team played a nail-biting playoff game against St. Greg's tonight. I lost my voice, and almost my mind, as the game came down to a difference of three points.
The final score was St. Mary's 28, St. Greg's 31.
Although we are sad the season is over, Mr. DePape and I are EXTREMELY proud of each and every one of our players. It was amazing to see how far they have come in skills, teamwork, and leadership.
We look forward to starting badminton right after March Break.
