After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the upcoming varsity baseball season due to a lack of participation numbers. We would still like to participate in a JV schedule depending on numbers and game availability. We truly appreciate the students who showed interest and dedication, and we encourage continued involvement in our other spring sports and activities. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our student-athletes.
