Please see the SITA webpage for official league results.

Thank you parents for bringing your kids on time and prepared to compete! Thanks especially to the parent volunteers at the meet. We have a good reputation in the league because of our helpful parents.
 
 
PLEASE let Mrs. Kauzala know if you won't be there for any meet - if just one relay member is a no show the other 3 cannot run!

JV Softball

We will not have a JV softball team this year because we do not have a coach.

Check the Tournament Website for details including completed brackets, photos, and results.
 
Our JV Girls finished 2nd and our JJV Girls won the 3rd place trophy game!
