And Lauren Wright:
The boys have seven seniors – from left in our photo, Tre Pryor, Ryder Mackay, Miles Gosztola, Chase Clifton, Luke Wade, Calvin Barasch, and Maximus Holliman:
Now on to the games. Both teams played Eastside Catholic (as did the JV and C teams earlier in the day). The girls were up first.
They were out to a double-digit lead at halftime, 33-18, but had a tougher time in the second half, nonetheless pulling out the win, 43-39.
