Thanks very much for your continued support of our student-athletes, it plays an integral roles in their success on the field/court/mat.

An awesome Winter Season to say the least. Mitty has teams in all 4 Open Divisions and the only other school with teams in 3 Open Divisions is St. Francis. Palo Alto has both soccer teams in the Open Division but no other public school has more than 1 team in the 4 Open Divisions.

Two Corrections:
Boys Hoops is at 4:30 tomorrow and girls at 6:00.
Basketball is the South Division, not Bay Division.
