Notes: Coach Geoff Shupard commented on the challenge of filling up a junior varsity schedule. “We are having to go out of state for JV games more than in the past. There are a few teams on our varsity schedule who are unfortunately unable to field a JV team this season. Thankfully, we were able to add Parkside and Stephen Decatur to the JV schedule, which will both be great matchups for our kids.”
