High School Heroes Triumph in Third Annual Faculty Basketball Showdown:
The High School Heroes defeated the Appleby All-Stars 49-34 in their first Faculty Basketball Showdown. In its third year, the fundraiser raises money for the senior class trip to Walt Disney World, this year for the Class of 2027.
