For Sports:
Yesterday afternoon the Boys JV soccer team notched a big win of Easton High School 2 to 1. Tanner “Crunch” Edelmann scored both goals for Seahawks. A job well done to them.
In the night cap at Easton High School last night the Boys Varsity Soccer team continued their winning way with a 1 to nothing victory over a tough defensive oriented Warriors team. Cruz Henson was the lone goal scorer with just under 4 minutes to play in the game. It was a complete team win to move the boys to 10 and 0 on the season with 2 games left in the regular season. The team travels to Bennett Monday afternoon for the next big test. Congratulations and good luck.
