Middle School Athletics
We are coming into the home stretch of the season as we only have 2 weeks left of District play, and then we hopefully will make the playoffs! It's been a tough 2 weeks with all of the Catholic School teams in regards to COVID, but we are all doing our very best to continue playing in a safe environment. On a good note, our Boys JV & Varsity Basketball Teams played in the St. Vincent de Paul "Joe Little Tournament '' this past weekend and had HUGE wins against some of our fellow Catholic schools teams, as well as other private schools that participated! They both went all the way to the Championship game and BOTH TEAMS WON!!!! We are so very proud of our boys and Coach Rodney, our SAINT spirit was alive!!!! Spring sports will be starting up in the next 2 weeks so please check the athletic calendar and jp2 website for more info!
