Join us this Saturday, January 28th, for our 13th annual Coaches vs Cancer Fundraising Event! 100% of the proceeds from the event sales will go to local families battling cancer and the regional American Cancer Society. This event is a full day of basketball, Mount Morris versus York. Both communities put forth a great deal of heartfelt energy and time into organizing this charitable fundraising event. The on-court action opens with Girls JV at 1:00, followed by Boys JV at 2:30, Girls Varsity at 4:00, and closes with the Boys Varsity game at 5:30. There will be tables set up with gift baskets and other items to be raffled off during our Varsity games. We will be asking for a $2.00 donation upon entry to the event.

Congratulations to our Athletes of the Week, Adam Galvin and Izariah Rowley! “Adam is a ferocious lefty who leads our team in points on the season, getting the team off to a great start. Adam scored 11 points in a win against a solid Pavilion team, 12 points against Perry and 6 in a tough, close loss to Warsaw last week. Adam is extremely tough on the low block, with opposing coaches switching their best defensive player to guard him every game,” said Coach Connolly. “Izariah is an absolute blast to have on the team! She brings good character and puts in extra work not just for herself but for the entire team. She shows enthusiasm and great work ethic and is an awesome team player to have all around,” said Coach Mancuso.
