Lots of action happening in both the NBA and  NHL playoffs over the break. Yesterday, the Celtics knocked off the Milwaukee Bucks in game 1 of the NBA Second round to take a 1-0 series lead, and in hockey, Carolina beat the New York Islanders 2-1 to jump to a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, and the Colorado Avalanche tied their series with San Jose.

The baseball team played Fairfield Saturday beating them by a score of 9-4 with Sam Steiby pitching a complete game. The baseball team’s record falls to 9-10 overall and 4-4 in the SWOC. 

The softball team played two games over the weekend and won both. They beat Walnut Hills Saturday by a score of 22-4, and knocked off Edgewood yesterday 7-6. The softball team now is above .500 for the second time this year at 11-10 overall, they are 5-5 in the SWOC.

Home games for today:  Boys Varsity Tennis hosts Preble Shawnee at 4, Boys JV Red and JV Blue baseball has Ross at 5, and JV Softball hosts Ross at 5. 

A note to all Field Hockey players and those wishing to join the Fantastic Lady Brave: There will be an informational meeting Tuesday, April 30th during tutorial in room 212 (Mrs. McCartney’s room). Coach Holmes will have important summer training information as well as camp dates. Again, that’s tomorrow in Mrs. McCartney’s room.

And finally today, I was flying back to New England for spring break last week, and something caught my eye out the window — and yes, that’s THS we flew right over — that’s what it looks like from 10,000 feet above. It was neat to look at for a second, but when it disappeared it was kind of nice to not see it for a week. We’ve got just a little bit to go.   

And that’s our broadcast on this Monday. I’m Patrick Geshan. Today’s hat day so weah ya red sahx hats.
