Sandy Creek is amazing! Great job to both Sandy Creek and Starr's Mill for yet another great performance. I know that Sandy Creek, Whitewater, and Starr's Mill all made the baseball playoffs and Sandy Creek and Starr's Mill are still in the hunt. Amazing.

We need a re-cap for the week:

Sandy Creek wins AAA track, Starr's Mill second in AAAA, Whitewater and McIntosh win SoccerAAAA, Starr's Mill and Whitewater second in AAAA, Starr's Mill wins AAAA Tennis with several county students winning first in state along the way in track .... it's almost too much to keep up with!

Way to go Fayette County!
