Tournament Time!

It's tournament time once again as the Varsity Squad takes on the St. Thomas Tournament. The team will leave school on Friday at around 11:00 AM! Players with out properly filled out and signed permission slips will not be allowed to attend! Players will travel dressed in their khaki school pants with their black jersey and warm-up top. Players are allowed to wear this to school as well on Friday. For our fans I have listed the tournament schedule, rules, and links to our hotel and Granger Stadium at St. Thomas.
