It’s Colonial League Finals time for our Varsity Girls’ Basketball Team!  Come and out and support our girls’ basketball team as they look for their first Colonial League title!

Quinn O’Connor '20 also needs two points to reach the 1000-point milestone.  The finals will take place tonight at Freedom High School with a 6:00 pm tip-off!  The girls earned the spot after posting an impressive victory in the quarter-finals by defeating Wilson by 62-27 score.  They followed that performance by beating Northwestern Lehigh by 49-45 score this past Wednesday in the league semi-finals.  Regardless of the result, the team has earned a District XI spot and the #2 seed and will play on Wednesday, February 26th at a site and time to be determined.
