| Another Successful SMBA Season!
What a game! In a hard-fought competition, the Red team won the SMBA finals on Thursday night, 23-20, against the White team! The best part of our unique SMBA basketball program is COMMUNITY! Our teams are co-ed and foster cross-grade relationships. St. Michael's alumni eagerly return each year and coach. (Thank you, Coaches!) Our students and families cheer and celebrate the sportsmanship, hard work and efforts of all of the teams. Our faculty even provides final game half-time entertainment. Thanks to everyone for a wonderful season! (Three cheers as well for the SMPA for providing pre-game s'mores!) GO DRAGONS!
