Softball, Boys Soccer, Track Honor Seniors; Others Post Big Wins

Three SJCS teams held their Senior Nights on Thursday.

First, the softball team recognized its only senior, Jackie Garrett, before its game against Powdersville.

The Knights lost to the Patriots, 22-0 in three innings, and fittingly, Garrett had the only hit for St. Joe's.
