We also explained that we have HIGH expectations for all students to be capable citizens of holding a job, performing that job successfully and being on time to work in school and on a job.

Tough loss at Vincent last night. But, we realized that playing on the road is different that playing at home. We came out the 2nd half and battled, 1st and 2nd teams. We had a successful year in learning to become better people, how to fight through problems, and making better choices as people and basketball players. Now it's up to us to help and continue to develop as GOOD PEOPLE first, then better basketball players SECONDLY.
