Senior Banquet

Jordan, Noah and Rachel
The Senior Banquet was held last night in the lobby of the Racquet Center.  Ferree's and Sprinkel's did a wonderful job putting this event together.  We had several alums and (always) supportive parents in attendance.

The Senior speeches were great!  Coach Rodgers, as always, spoke very well also such that all left motivated for what remains of Season this year, and for years to come.  Molly attends each year for this purpose......"to receive inspiration from Coach to face another year of what life throws at you."

We wish Noah, Rachel and Jordan the best!  They will be missed!!!
