Happy New Year for the Phinz and Mr. Z!

Happy New Year to Everyone! Do you know who this guy is? It is Mr. Z's hero! Not just because he is Italian either. It is the coach who took his beloved Dolphins from worst to first this season winning their division. Good luck in the playoffs boys. Hope they play the Steelers.

Girls Basketball Starts with Success!

The Lady Governors have started off the season with much success. The 8th grade team are undefeated to this date.

Look out Mr. Fausnaught, here come the Governors!
