To Clarify...
We'd like to apologize for some comments made in our last post. After re-reading our post, we understand how those comments could have been misunderstood. At no point were we celebrating injuries of the student athletes who work so hard. We understand how hard the athletes of the PSAL work and understand how frustrating dealing with injuries can be. We root for the success of all athletes and understand that it is detrimental to the PSAL when its best athletes cannot compete.

Freshman and Sophomore City Championship Preview
