We are once again compiling #TheSeason recaps.
Teams will be selected randomly until completion UNLESS a head coach sends a full snapshot of all records (team & individual) for all varsity starts (ideally boys AND girls but if boys’ only are immediately available, I’ll do what I can do). Our next team, Bartram Trail, and the team after them were both selected randomly.
We won’t always break the girls out into separate attachments. It will depend on the size of the girls’ team.
If you’re not sure if I have full results for your team, consult our schedule for the 2022-23 season; anything not fully bolded is missing.
