Fall sports are well underway. Our girls’ volleyball teams are halfway through their season. They have two more home games left: 10/6 and 10/13. The 7th grade game begins at 4 PM, and the 8th grade game will follow. Admission is charged; cash or check. $5 for adults; $3 for seniors; $2 for students; and $50 for Bay League Passes.
