We apologize for the status of our NFHS cameras. Both our indoor and outdoor cameras experienced condensation behind the lenses of the cameras. NFHS recently sent replacement cameras and installed them on Friday. Unfortunately, the camera in the main gym is again affected by condensation. We contacted NFHS today and they will be sending us their most updated camera model to solve the issue.

Tonight's home Volleyball game vs. Monmouth-Roseville will only be two games. We are keeping the 5pm start time for the F/S(JV) and then Varsity will follow at 6pm! Hope to see you all there tonight! Go Big Red!
