Congratulations 6th Grade JV Boys

Congratulations to our Boys JV (6th Grade) basketball team had a huge win this weekend against previously unbeaten St. Paul, on their home court. It was a highly competitive game and our boys showed tremendous effort and composure. This brings the boys record for the season to 5-2.  The boys return home next weekend to take on St. Thomas.  Great job Sabers!!
