“We are super proud of the boys, it’s been it’s been an amazing journey, but I am just super happy for our boys this year. It feels good to have this be the way out at the end of my career,” he said.

For the NBCHS Jr. Girls, they saw a similar path as they also got a bye to go straight to the championship game and ended up beating JPII as well to take home first place. The girls finished off their season going 14-3 with three tournament wins.
