Leaving soon to take the bus to Trenton to see our Lady Hawks win another game!!!
I've followed Hawks basketball for years but have never seen a group of players compete as hard - or cheer as hard for each other - as this women's team. I am really proud of the way they have represented our school and hope they will treasure every moment of this experience.
