Your donations will continue to support the development of good young men by teaching teamwork, a good work ethic, sacrifice, discipline, service, and selflessness. It will allow the kids to use nice, new equipment in practice. Often times we have visited other schools in surrounding districts and our student athletes are in awe of their resources and it will give them a few things to be proud of.

Thank you in advance for your donations and generosity. Your investment in our young men is greatly appreciated.
