Even since the beginning rounds in the Open Division, our team has been defeating opponents left and right with scores of 100-66, 112-78 and 102-54.

As we cheer on our team in these upcoming weeks, we will continue to hope that our amazing basketball players will maintain their triple-digit scores and unprecedented No. 1 state and national rankings.

Go Huskies!
