From our Athletic Director Mr. Mummaw:
Folks, last night our boys basketball team defeated the York High Bearcats in the District III semifinal game at Hershey’s Giant Center. The guys played a great game and now we, the Black Knights, will take on the Reading Red Knights on the battle field of the Giant Center’s main court Saturday March 6th at 1 p.m. This is for the District III championship. Tickets for the battle will be on sale from Wednesday to Friday in the Student Commons from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm and in the AD’s office the remainder of the day. As William Wallace led his band of Scotsman into battle, so will Warren Goodling lead our team into battle on the floor of the Giant Center. Ticket prices are $5 for Adults and $3 for Students. Remember that students are $5 at the Giant Center so save yourself two bucks, and buy early. You do not have to stand in line either. Come out and support the team.
The winter postseason continues to roll:
The Boys Basketball team plays York at 8 p.m. at the Giant Center on Tuesday March 2nd. Pre-sale tickets are priced $5 for adults, $3 for students. All tickets at the door will be $5.
