Zebra Nation,
Congratulations to the Boys and Girls Varsity Track teams as they defeated Dearborn Fordson on Wednesday. It was the first home track meet of the season. A special thank you to all the people who came out and worked the event (timing, recording, measuring, etc). The Boys Baseball team beat Dearborn Fordson in a Double Header this past Wednesday. The Zebra Baseball team will play Stevenson this week before traveling down to Toledo to play at Fifth Third Field vs Carlson High School. It will be a great opportunity for our student athletes to play at a minor league field. If you are interested in attending the game, admission is free. It will cost to park around the stadium, as the lots are privately owned. First pitch for that game will be at 1:00pm. Tennis and Track both have conference tournaments this upcoming weekend. Good Luck Zebras!!
