The smell of pizza wafted through campus last Wednesday evening as both the girls and boys middle school basketball teams celebrated the end of successful seasons. The girls started off in a challenging position when an injury left the team with just six active players. Of course, that didn't stop this group of hard-working, determined athletes!
