Update - Due to the lack of Volenteer sign up for Boosters today, we will not have concessions at our basketball 🏀 games. In the future I hope we can get people to volunteer sometime.

Lady Coyotes hosting FA at Mackenzie tonight - JV with most exciting W of the night 27-24 - Varsity cruising to a 56-17 W moving 5-0 on the season, but more importantly they earned Hall of Fame Coach Heather Richards in her 100th Win of her career! Coach Richards In her 11th season is 100-83 all time, going 40-1 in the last 3 regular seasons, and 80-13 in the regular season over the past 5 seasons. An unbelievable run for our fearless leader of Coyote Nation! Congratulations Coach!
