Football Team wins Sportsmanship Award!  Congratulations go out to Ray Gionta, his staff and his players for being selected to receive the sportsmanship award for the Central League this past season.  I believe this is the 4th time they have won this honor since Ray has been our coach.

From my perspective, this would have to be their finest achievement in regards to sportsmanship.  To start the season 0-5 with key injuries and allow a number of talented sophomores to get their feet wet at the varsity level, then finish 6-6 speaks volumes about the job done by our entire staff.  At no point were kids allowed to give up or make excuses for their play.  Yet they persevered and enjoyed success at the end of the season.  This is a direct result in the coaches readjusting the way they handled their team this year.  They did what good coaches do:  adapt their teaching techniques and strategies to meet the needs of the current team.

Winter Season Passes:

Tickets are sold for all girls and boys basketball games, as well as wrestling meets.  Admission to all games is $3.00 per student and $5.00 per adult. 

In order to help defray the cost for families, we are offering Season Passes for the winter season.  With a pass, one is admitted to all winter events without further charge, except any PIAA playoff contests. 

The cost for season passes is:

 Winter Season           Students      $25.00             Adults         $35.00

 Passes can be purchased in the athletic office of the high school at any time.  They will also be sold at the first home game for each sport that charges admission.

Sports Physicals --  If you miss the physicals that were offered at the High School, you can call Premier Orthopedics at the below number to set up one on your own.  All exams for next year must take place after June 1st, 2008.  Anyone planning on attending these physicals should call Alicia at 610-353-0800 x105 to schedule an appointment, so we can have an idea as to how many students to expect.

Physical exam forms are available for download as follows:

• Once a year Comprehensive Physical Exam form
• Parent Recertification form (for students who have submitted the comprehensive exam form for one activity, and want to continue to participate in season 2 or 3)
• Re-Certification by a Physician (for students who did not complete a season due to illness or injury)
• Weight Classification form (for wrestlers, to be completed by the school trainer)
