Another Great Tennis Season

Via the Record-Eagle: 

The Glads fell 5-3 to Hudsonville Unity Christian in Friday’s Division 4 state semifinals at Portage Central High School. Because of COVID-19, the state tournament format changed this year to a true team style instead of the typical flight-based team point system.

St. Francis cruised through the first four rounds of the tourney, winning each 8-0 to be one of the final four standing.

The Gladiators return 11 out of 12 varsity players, losing top singles player Charlie Schmude after a career that produced more than 120 victories.

Blessings, Deacon Rob

Grateful to Rob Richardson for saying "yes" to God's call to become a Deacon. Rob is being ordained in Gaylord today. May God bless your ministry, Deacon Rob!
