The Booster Board as undertaken revising the bylaws that govern the Booster Club. This has not been done since 1985. The revisions that are being suggested are extensive and therefore we are proposing to amend the bylaws by substitution. This means that we are presenting a whole new set of bylaws for the membership to consider that would take the place of the current bylaws that were drafted in 1985. The motion to amend by substitution will be voted on at the meeting on February 7th, 2022 which will take place at 6:30pm via Zoom.

Varsity -

One of the biggest basketball games of the season took place Friday January 21 against our rivals Whitefish Bay. The game started with Chris Djurasovic taking it to the rim and drawing a foul. However, “nerves” then appeared to lead to several turnovers by both teams. Djurasovic scored again with another bucket against the 6‘9“ Whitefish Bay Center. Then Trevor Polite hit two free throws after being fouled, and followed with a mid range jumper. Bay then went on a barrage of three-pointers bringing their lead to 21 -14. Solomon Garrison and Adam Riese teamed up for a breakaway and two points. Then another barrage of Bay three-pointers bringing the score to 39 to 26. Fortunately, Garrison finished the half with two more takes and four more points. However Homestead was down 41 - 28 at the half.

The second half began with Adam Riese hitting a perfect three pointer and then making a steal. Riese was then fouled and drained his two free throws. Back on defense, Tim Franks sacrificed his body and took a hard charge. Evan Endres added to his totals with a beautiful three pointer and then Sam Lococo and Solomon garrison hit back to back three-pointers. Then Garrison had back to back assists to Anthony Chung for two layups and four points. Maintaining Homestead’s focus on defense, Franks made a steal and took the ball coast to coast for an easy Layup. After Homestead had trailed the entire first half, Riese hit a three and tied the score at 67 - 67. Homestead almost lost but Chris Djurasovic scored a critical basket and tied the game 71 to 71 at the end of regulation. And into OVERTIME we went! Polite began overtime with a three pointer followed by two layups by Riese. Whitefish Bay kept hitting three-pointers. With 20 seconds left Chung was fouled and drained his two clutch free throws. Trevor Polite then sealed the deal with a breakaway layup and Homestead had completed the biggest comeback of the year, beating Whitefish Bay 81 to 76! Scoring leaders Riese 14, Djurasovic 14, Garrison 11, Chung 11, Polite 11, and Franks 10.

Overall Record 13-0
