The high school sports winter season started only a few weeks ago, but most teams will take a break following this week. For some, that has already begun.
There are still a few notable games and events on the schedule before Christmas. The St. E Center will host a few intriguing basketball games this week, and Salesianum’s basketball team travels to the Mecca of college basketball. The wrestling community welcomes the annual festival known as Beast of the East, one of the larger high school tournaments on the calendar.
Schedules are subject to change, so be sure to confirm any event before heading out.
