On the Rise at Elkhart Memorial

One week from Sectional, and it's time to really get after it.  The team had an outstanding day as it prepared for - hopefully - another Sectional Championship and loaded up on District events in an effort to prepare for March 12th.  Following several tournaments where the team fell a few points short of Chesterton, the team bounced back with a resounding victory.  Hopefully, it's a measure of things to come.
