Congratulations to senior Bo Stephensfor being named

Spartan of the Week! (Week of February 19):

“Bo has worked extremely hard to make his senior season a memorable one; his hard work has already started to pay off! Bo threw 4 hitless innings with 5 strikeouts in the Spartans 6-1 victory over Putnam County. He then followed that great performance by sending all Spartans home happy with a walk-off single in a comeback victory against Clarke Central.“ –Casey Kane, Head Coach Varsity Baseball

Congratulations to the girls basketball team for advancing to the Sweet Sixteen before losing to the defending champion Mt. Paran last Friday night.
