JH Boys baseball team won their season opener on Tuesday with a 9-6 win over St Theresa of Belleville. Coach Schmitt's summary of the game: The team played pretty well for it being our first game and with only having 1 week of practices. Deion Washington got the start on the mound and the win while recording 8 strikeouts. Landen Davis went 3-4 with 2 rbi's and Joseph Corbitt had double and 2 rbi's. Good job Greyhounds!

This is a reminder that the freshman students and all new high school students are invited to a kickoff event Friday morning at 10:00 in the high school commons.
