Once again, the men’s and women’s varsity basketball teams will be in the spotlight. Both teams will be honored before the State House of Delegates and the State Senate on March 12 for winning the conference championships this past month. It was the second consecutive championship for the men and the first in 28 years for the woman.

“It will be a great experience. I’m looking forward to it and I feel honored and it’s a nice way to end my senior year,” senior captain Maria Edwards said.

“I feel honored to be going the second time. Not many people get a chance to go, and for me to have the opportunity to attend is special. As a senior, I can leave knowing that my achievements were appreciated,” senior Jarred Jones said.
