Mariners winter sports off to a competitive start

The swim team got off to a strong start this week competing in its first meet. The meet was against many experience teams, and the Lake Pointe team finished quite well.

The girls' basketball team is coming off both an exciting and challenging  week with a good showing at Chester High School and then playing short handed against Bob Jones.

The boys' basketball team took Bob Jones to the final seconds and showed good promise for the season.
