Lower Moreland Athletics
Middle school sports has gotten off to a tough start due to some April weather. The baseball team and softball team each got a scrimmage in so far vs. Keith Valley. Both baseball and softball will have an action-packed schedule when we return from spring break. The track team will be home vs. Wissahickon on Wednesday in their first regular season track meet of the season. The coaches are impressed with our athletes hard work and commitment to getting better on a daily basis.
