You have and one AMAZING season, and Tom and I could not be more proud of each of you!

The team was all smiles last night as they concluded the 2020 season with some hardware! The girls placed third for the Class L league season standings and the boys team placed first for their season results! For only the second time in the league’s history did a team share the top place honor with 2 other teams. Staples Boys were in a three-way tie for first with Fairfield Prep & Newtown/Pomperaug. Congratulations to all! We look forward to celebrating everyone’s success at the banquet!
