I truly hope there is a way for our senior student athletes to have a basketball season and graduation this year not matter what phase we are in. Our seniors have already missed out on so much and mental health is already on the line with these kids. They have had a glimmer of hope and watched the other sports teams be able to compete and have been anxiously awaiting their turn.
