Congratulations
Seniors!
This Senior class has the recognition of being the
defending regional champion, as well as the holders of two
consecutive Class 5A Baseball Academic State Championships. In
reviewing the honor roll recently posted in the Duncan Banner, it is
expected that this senior class will leave with the distinction of
being the Class 5A Baseball Academic State Champions for all three
years of their high school careers.
The Senior Class and their parents would like to especially thank
Coach Darren Briggs and his staff for their support and guidance
these past three years.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS!!
