A huge thanks and congrats to all who came and contributed to the Sideout Foundation charity, it was a great success. The Varsity team also put up a fight to win big against Maloney of Meriden last night, winning 3-2. That win qualifies the team for the Class LL state tournament next month. They will be home again tomorrow night when they face Hall. Congrats again, good luck to the team.
