Don't miss the Lady Blazers Sub-State game against Bishop Miege at Bishop Miege on Saturday, March 6. Tip-off is at 7:45 pm. Make sure our girls see a sea of Blazer Blue when they take the court!
Just wanted to say thanks for the great turnout at the girls game at Miege. We had school board members, school staff and administration, parents and grandparents, and a lot of people from the community out to cheer our girls on...including some of the boys bball team! The girls dug themselves in a hole during the first half, and even though they worked HARD in the second half to come back, they lost by 2. The crowd was loud on our side of the court almost willing our girls to a come back. So, thanks for backing our girls Saturday night! We look forward to a good season next year. We are only losing 2 seniors. We should be strong and will be looking for redemption when we have to play Miege in our regular season next year!
