Title Town

Well, it was quite a weekend for Whitman-Hanson.  Our boys basketball team upset favored O'Bryant High School in the South Sectional finals on Saturday to win the title and move on to the Eastern Massachusetts Championship at the Boston Garden tomorrow (Monday 3/13/17) night at 7:30pm.  But that was not the end of the Panther success.  Our cheerleading team competed at the state championships at Wachusett High School today where they were absolutely spectacular pulling off a near perfect performance to win their 11^th state title and 6^th in the last 4 years (including fall season as well).  The girls were treated with a police escort back to the school and greeted by the entire boys basketball team and their parents.

 

For those staff members going to the Boston Garden tonight you can purchase tickets at www.ticketmaster.com and search MIAA.  There is also a direct link at www.whathletics.com .  Even though the game is at 7:30pm, you will be buying the ticket that says 2:15pm as it is good for the entire day of games.  We may still have a need for some chaperones to ride fan busses so if you are interested in that please email me.  If you did email me already and didn't get a reply, please send again as I have received so many emails in the last 24 hours that some may have been overlooked.

 

Thanks again to everyone for their support of our athletic program and our student athletes.
