A runner on first, two away. He'll take just outside, it's ball one. Grumbum take a step off the mound. Austin has had a rough stretch, losing four straight games. Grumbum will throw over to first, including 22 to one loss to Zaverian, very good program.

I'm sorry. Ready? One, two. Good evening, everyone. It is a true honor to recognize an exceptional student as our Superintendent's Award this season. This student exemplifies the qualities this award represents. Strong character, dedication, and a genuine commitment to others.

Uh they can drop them off in the office, but they're not supposed to bring them in the classrooms. They're not supposed to take them in. They're not supposed to They're going to bring them in. Oh, they're going to bring them. Yeah. Uh they have to keep them in the lockers. Okay. Or their vehicles or leave them at home. Or we can take them. I personally don't like when teachers hold on to them because somebody could get a hold of one that's not theirs.
