The 2017 Midnight Madness took place this past Friday evening as a night of competition and team building. The weather was beautiful and likely played a part in attracting the biggest crowd to date to come out and support the football Rockets during their annual June event. The overall champions of the evening was Team Maroon and the Tug-a-War champions were Team Gold. Team Black was awarded 10 team points for having the best war paint.

*ATTENTION* The girls youth basketball tournament set to take place next weekend (June 9-11) has been cancelled. We will try to host another tournament again next year.

Summer lifting begins tomorrow for high school players and Tuesday for Middle School Players.

Basketball season is in full swing; several members of the football team are competing on this year's basketball team. Best of luck to them as the season hits the mid-way point.

Just a reminder- the 2nd 9 weeks is nearly complete, make sure you are finishing strong in order to out-perform your opponent in the GPA competition!
