The boys played hard and put together a nice team effort for the win. Tyler Zappola led the scoring charge with a game high 17 points as well as putting in a nice defensive effort. The 8th grade boys also defeated Eastlake Middle last night 56 to 2. The boys got off to a hot start causing turnovers and making transition baskets. The boys played very unselfish basketball finding their teammates for open looks. The boys also played great defense both as a team and individually. Anthony Keidel led all scorers with 11 points on the night. The win brings the season total to 10-0.

Brooke Rann's brother, Dominik, who is in the Army and stationed in Italy will be receiving a care package (actually 2) from W.M.S. students. Attached is the letter Dominik will receive and pictures of the care package contents. The care packages will be mailed today after school. Postage is paid by a donation from Willoughby Hills VFW, RED merchandise sold and individual staff donations. If you know a student who has a family member or close family friend that is currently deployed and there is not a HERO Card for them in the RED showcase, please send them to me to get the information he/she needs so his/her HERO can be recognized.

Thank you for always encouraging students to show their patriotic pride and for supporting the RED (Remember Everyone Deployed) initiative. CLICK HERE to view the letter and pictures.
