Highlights and Updates:
Happy New Year! Hope you enjoyed your holidays!
Over the break, many of the Prospect Park boys basketball teams and some of the girls teams participated in tournaments at Norwood School and Prospect Park School.
Here at Prospect Park a few of our players received MVP’s for their games. Among them were, Allie Ursone, Sophia Neiss, Jackson Keisel.
We also had two teams go undefeated and win their age group in the annual Norwood Christmas tournament. Our 14 U team won their age bracket, along side our 10U A team. The 10U team has quite a few 5th graders from our school.
