Congratulations to our Boys Basketball Team and Coaching Staff on an Incredible Season
You brought us together as a community. Our student section was outstanding - Shamrock spirit at its finest. With every swoosh of the net, we celebrated your talent; with every tie score, we willed the ball to go in from our seats. We were behind you 100%! And at the end, although incredibly sad the season is over, we are so proud of you!
Your dreams became our dreams and we thank you for taking us on a historical ride!! To defeat Carmel twice in one season, defeat Cathedral in the championship game of the Raymond James Hall of Fame Tournament, and earn the school's first ever Boys Basketball Sectional Title is nothing short of exceptional. Congratulations on an amazing season!
