Modified Girls and Boys Basketball continue to grow and learn the fundamentals of the game.

All PHS Wrestlers had a taste of victory and showed great signs of improvement. Even though no major events were won, this year there are three individual members who were able to gain All-League recognition.

Boys Swim had one dual meet win, however at Divisional Championships the boys exceeded expectations and came in seventh out of 10 teams. The season continued to Sectional Championships where two boys (Thomas Holman and Taylor Coleman) swam two individual events each, as well as in two relays. The boys were accompanied by four other boys (Luke Torres-Rossi, Gordon Evans, Terrence McGarty, Yoham Ortiz) who swam in relays.

The JV Boys’ Basketball team showed respect for the game, themselves and the true meaning of sportsmanship throughout this season.

Boys Bowling finished in seventh place in the league with a record of 28-77 and all members of the team improved their averages during the season.

The Girls Bowling team finished sixth in the league, with a record of 34-71. All bowlers will be returning, so there will be great improvement next season. JV bowling is making great strides and developing their skills as well.

Thank you to our Varsity Cheerleaders for pep and cheers during all games.
